IDE :: Craps Game - Get A Lot Of Time Constant Errors And Unexpected Else Statements?
Jan 16, 2010
i'm trying to make a craps game in flash.The program starts with a login screen which takes you to a menu, then you get the choice of 3 games. I'm on my second game so far which i'm having trouble with.So far i've managed to get 2 spinners with numbers 1-6 on each, which will spin, give you the values in 2 separate text boxes then add the value together in another text box.The trouble i am having is the winning and lossing condions, where i have no idea where to start.
Rulse are if your value equals 7 or 11 you win
if your value equals 2,3 or 12, yoo lose and
if your value is anothing else then user gets another go and has to get the same value again or get a 7 and lose.
i need to create another function or create if statements within existing functions.I tried creating another function afte the bottom function but got a lot of time constant errors and unexpected else statements whihc i didn't understand.
Both of these are saved in files with the name same as the classes.
Both are saved a folder which also contains an fla file name hello.fla.So,when test the movie(hello.fla),after choosing the document class as WavyBall,I get these errors: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Ball.
Source: var Ball:Ball; 1120: Access of undefined property stage. Source:Ball.x=stage.stageWidth/2; 1120: Access of undefined property stage. Source:Ball.y=stage.stageHeight/2; 5000: The class 'WavyBall' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.What is wrong?
I have .fla called Helicopter and a movieclip in the library with a linkage of Fly. If I use the code-snippet(as a seperate class called Helicopter.as)below with Flash or Flashdeveloper it works fine. If i use FlexBuilder (Actionscript project)I get these errors. is there some settings I have to change in FlexBuilder?
Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Fly. Helicopter/src Helicopter.as line 7 1247730594859 770[code]....
Now getting this error: Symbol 'levelcomplete'1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: nextlevelBtn. Hi guys, Beginner here having some trouble creating my first flash drag and drop jigsaw puzzle game. The drag and drop jigsaw puzzle works to some extent, but it is the "level complete" movieclip which is causing problems. On testing the movie i get this error:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class.
The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
In a class file I have a button (GameButton) which I want to all the instances act the same. I found this code in a tutorial but when I run it I get the error: "Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:MouseEvent." And then it names 2 of my public functions. Here's all the code in my class file:
I have a piece of art I made on the timeline that I want to turn into a button, so I comverted it to a symbol and exported it to actionscript with a linkage class, but when I compile it and run it I get the error, 1046 type was not found or was not a compile time constant: playButton22.[code]
I have a AS3 need to call 2 functions in a WS to get 2 return parameters.
But, it has
Compile Error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: OperationEvent. function onResult(e:OperationEvent):void { function onFault(e:OperationEvent):void { function onResult1(e:OperationEvent):void {
Is there a way to set the value of a private static const identifier from a config file during compile time in Actionscript 3?Also, it would be nice if I can do this in the mxmlc ANT task.
I want to pulish SWF file from .fla file. I have some scripts there, but when I pulished them - they don't work. I get error from compiler:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'scrollableContent' was already assigned to the symbol 'pop_ups/__pop_up_other_elements/scrollableContent', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'pop_ups/__pop_up_other_elements/scrollable_game_content', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
I've got this movieclip that I made into a button with ActionScript. When clicked, it should go to a frame in my main timeline labeled "beansbus", but whenever I try to test the movie out, Flash gives me this error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: bus.
I've looked around on the internet and I've been told that this error can crop up if the instance name is the same as a library object. That WAS the problem, but I renamed the library object to Cutebus, so that should have fixed it, I hope. There was another fix that involved something called TextFields in my movieclip, but I don't have those...
Im new to AS3 and just want to get my button (labled button1 in the properties instance box) to move me onto the next frame in the timeline(frame labled start) and play from there, when you hover over it Button is on first frame on a different layer to actions & labled frames.this is the code Ive copied and adapted from a tutorial its in the first keyframe on the action layer....
stop(); button1.AddEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouse_overbutton1); function mouse_overbutton1 (event:EVENT) :void
I have a character added as Child in the Main Time line and i am trying to make a class for that same char to control it, but as soon as i start it gives me this huge annoying error that says It has a compile time-constant error in the
private function checkKeysDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void{ Full class code below Code:
Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?
I am almost done my short AS3 "Flight of the Conchords" game I just want to attempt to do one last thing...to successfully restart the game without getting a bunch of null object errors. The way it restarts now is that if you die or win the game then a screen pops up and a button takes you to the previous scene (menu), the problem is that once it goes to the previous scene all these null object errors occur.
P.S. This is my second time working with AS3, and I was able to do this following a YouTube tutorial by Borris123psn.
I am having trouble with my flash program. im trying to make a media player but the tutorial that i am using told me to enter SoundTransfor into the action scripts but when i run the program all i get is an error... 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: SoundTransform.
This is my first time using flex. I tried compiling thecripts below usingmxmlc example.mxmlAnd I get:Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:UIMovieClipThis is on a windows machine. If I type just "mxmlc" I getthat I'm using version 3.1
Im trying to get my character(Box 2D to respond to the accelerometer) But flash throws thie error at me..Here is what i have done to try and get it working:
First I create a new ActionScript Project, then add a Library Project's bin folder to the build path, and reference the Library Project. I code the new project, and everything works fine. But later, when I'm optimizing the code, I'll create a new ActionScript class file in the Library Project, save it, and then change an already defined function within the ActionScript Project to use this new ActionScript class in the Library Project instead of some other class in the Library Project. The class file is in the Library Project's src folder, under (default package), same as all the other files the ActionScript Project is using successfully.At this point, FlashBuilder shows an error "Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: PEArrays."
Here is the Library Project file:
package { public class PEArrays {
[code]...
I have included import PEArrays; or, import PEArrays.*; and both result in the same error.Also, I tried exiting and re-entering FlashBuilder, didn't help. Cleaning the ActionScript Project had no effect on this error. I also right-clicked on the project folder and selected Refresh, but it didn't help.
I verified that the needed classes are correctly selected by going to Project>Properties>Flex Library Build Path and reviewing the Classes tab. I'm just a single developer so there's no version control system in place.
After troubleshooting a bit, I now find that the ActionScript Project folder's bin directory is empty. When I run the .as file in the ActionScript Project's src folder, I get an error that the ASname.html file cannot be found (where ASname is the ActionScript Project name and also the .as file name, e.g. ASname.as, in the src folder, which is run). This ASname.html file is not found in the html-template folder. What process generates this needed .html file?
It basically downloads an mp3 file when you click a "download" button. I have assigned an on complete listener and function but keep getting this error message: Line 53: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event. Which the source of is: function completeHandler(evt:Event):void {
I have a symbol with name and class name "cat". I also have buttons with names and classnames of values "upButton" "downButton". I dragged the symbols onto the stage and gave them instance names of "cat", "upButton", and "downButton", and tried to control the position of the cat using the buttons, however I got the error message:
"type was not found or was not a compile-time constant"
So I tried changing the name of the instances to cat2, upButton2, and downButton2, and it works perfectly fine. So am I not allowed to have instance names identical to the class name? This is strange because in the book I am working out of, the instance names are identical to the class names.
i have tried to make mouse trail effect with stars but i m failed.there was error mesagge "type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:MyStar.[code]
