In the article kirupa wrote called, "Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash" link he had the following function:
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
[code]....
Is there a similar method that we can reverse transition so the image fades away as the new image fades in and not see the preloader?
I have a simple flash socket that I use to connect to IRC servers. It has an open, close, and send method made available to JS through ExternalInterface, for opening connections, closing connections, and sending messages respectively. The socket calls IRC.io.receive in JS whenever it gets a message, which is parsed by JS into something useful.Unfortunately, whenever any of the flash methods are called from JS, they return a "__ is not a function" error.Here's the (watered down) AS, where IRC is the document class:
public class IRC extends MovieClip {
public static function open(url:String, port:int) {/* code */}
public static function close(port:int) {/* code */}
public static function send(port:int, message:String) {/* code */}
[code]....
Any call to any of the functions registered with ExternalInterface throws a "function does not exist" exception.
I want to end the sound of an externally loaded swf in a child movieclip, from within a movieclip (one level below root) when the user moves from that frame in that root level mc. Problem is that there are so many ways to exit that frame containing the (2 down from root) mc with its loader: nxt/prev frm, jump w/i that mc, or jump to another root level mc. Is there a frame script to get the effect of the old onExitFrame() that I can put in the top level mc or the mc with the loader that will know when the user has moved? (so I don't have to put stop code at every possible destination for every possible loaded swf?) I'm still new to AS3, so am limited to frame scripts. I don't even know where to put the public classes some possible answers talk about building.
View 5 RepliesI would like to know what my visitors will see when they visit my site without flash installed. Obviously I could uninstall flash to find this out, but I was just wondering whether there's some gimmicky add-on out there that can simulate 'no Flash'. Would be handy...

if(printMe!=undefined){

I'm wondering if there is an encoding like UTF8/16 that can account for characters that are bold, italic, underlined, and super/sub-scripted? If not, is it under consideration by the powers that be? Reason for the question is that I have a large excel file where many cells contain rtf text such as italics, bold, superscript; and I need to access the information on a row-by-row basis. I know I can save the file in html or xml, but I would like to import the data into MySQL - keeping the formatting - and then being able to access the data a row at a time.
I've considered using Markdown or Textile, but that means a whole lot of time changing each cell - we're talking about 5,000 records. Also, I want to continue to use Flex and I'm not sure if Flex can display html formatted text in their text controls because of their their text engine...
I think I broke my Flash. I'm using Flash CS5.5, and when I use AS3, any references to the Math class give me errors like this:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method sqrt through a reference with static type Class.1061: Call to a possibly undefined method pow through a reference with static type Class.1061: Call to a possibly undefined method pow through a reference with static type Class.The code in error is this:var dist:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(initPos.x - pos.x, 2) + Math.pow(initPos.y - pos.y, 2));What the heck is going on here? Math is a top-level class, so I don't think I should be getting an error like this. Is it possible to somehow "break" the Math class? If so, how do I fix it?
View 1 RepliesMy aim is to construct a search tool, but I need it to ignore "The" from company names, and from the search, just in case the user searched the company name with The and its not on the xml, and vice versa... you know how it is...Anyway, i basically need something like "ignoreLeft(4)"... 4 being T H E and a space... but ignoreLeft() doesn't exist...
ActionScript Code:
//If the user searches with "the"
if (Search.text.Left(4).toLowerCase() == "the"){[code]...........
The trouble is the XML file isnt ammedable so I have to make changes during the search, otherwise I could just remove "the" from the xml file...I know this is fictitious code, but this is how I would imagine it to sound?
The constructor class has the following code:
Code:
//Phase 2: Parse XML Data
internal var xmlParse:ParseXMLData;

View 4 Repliesim making a flash movie where it loads in pics using the loadMovie() method..
i was curious.. is there a way to tell if the file densest exist? if so i want to display a defualt "not found" thing..
I've seen a lot of places talking about the technique, and citing codes like:
factorial = function(n) {
factorial(n-1);
}
I don't understand the concept of calling a function within itself. What precisely does this accomplish, and how is it legal? Shouldn't the function definition fail because while its being defined its calling a function that does not yet exist.
Im building a preloader queue thingy and i have one big problem.
firstly - the goal of this class is the possibility to add movie clips to the queue that arent yet loaded in by their parent movie clips (which are also in the queue). this is a very important function of this object, and one of the main reasons im coding it.
so - when i pass a reference to a MovieClip Object to my addToQueue function, if the movie clip exists, all is well and good. But if the movie clip happens to be a child of another movie clip that is in the queue, it doesnt exist yet - so the reference returns "undefined" as expected.but very soon into the queue processing function, the child movie clip will come into existance, but unfortunately that doesnt matter cause initially the movie clip wasnt there, so the pointer variable still is set to undefined....
how do i store a pointer to a movie clip that doesnt exist YET but i know will exist? i want to be able to pass a reference to any movie clip in any scope, possibly as a child of many parent movie clips that may or may not exist...is there a sure way to set up a variable to reference a movieclip so i can use it, for example, in loadClip() functions, when the movieclip does actually appear? even if it doesnt exist yet?
For example if I had an input field and i could not allow the characters like <space> and ony <underscore "_"> how would I do this??
I am guessing you would have to somehow check through ecach character to see if it was a " " with an if else statement.. but that would take forever.. so.. =S
In my application I have a class Map, which is an as file that extends MovieClip. Map is used by the document class Core. I have multiple .fla files whose document classes all extend Map, and in each .fla, in the library, there's clip map_1, map_2, map_3, etc. Now I load one of these maps into Core.
Map has a method addFirst():
public function addFirst(){
stg.addChild(new map_1())
}
but this generates the error "Variable Map_1 is not defined" when I use it in Core, I guess it's because in Map itself map_1 is not defined, but it is in every children.
I was wondering if there a way to check if a variable(x) exist. Let me try to explain a bit more:
Let's pretend I load 5 variables from a text file named myvariable1 , myvariable2, ... , myvariable5

Does anyone know how to accomplish this in AS 2.0? I'm using Flash CS3 and it appears that the Actions Parameters don't even exist anymore. [URL] Ultimately I'm trying to make an ecard, passing text from a form SWF via PHP to the final card (A SWF embedded in the PHP document).

View 1 RepliesI'd like to have a class that will resolve calls to static functions that don't exist.If you have an object that subclasses the Proxy class, you can override the callProperty() method to catch calls to functions, as properties of that object, that don't exist.How can this be done with static function calls in a class? It cannot be done by making the overridden callProperty() method static. Is there another way?

View 1 RepliesI have my main timeline/scene we can call it A and then Scene B is exclusively for the gallery component. When I switch to Scene B, the gallery component functions as expected. I place a button on that scene that takes the user back to the Scene A (main timeline). I use the
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
command.
At this point the output screen fills up with the warning message:
A 'with' action failed because the specified object did not exist
This message will repeat in the output screen about 30 times and then continues until I close the file. There are no stop errors or crashes, it only does this in testing the swf but works fine online. It just started doing this, I went back to look at something in the fla and played it and all of a sudden I get this error. I've had this code in for about a year and has worked fine up until now? Why would it all of a sudden do this?
