Flash :: Manage Multi-frame MovieClips With Classes?
Apr 15, 2012After switching to AS3, I've been having a hell of a time figuring out the best way to manage MovieClips that have UI elements spread across multiple frames with a single class. An example that I am working on now is a simple email form. I have a MovieClip with two frames:
the 1st frame has the form elements (text inputs, submit button) the 2nd frame has a "you" message and a button to go back to the first frame (to send another email) In the library I have linked the MovieClip to a custom class (Emailer). My immediate problem is how do I assign a MouseEvent.CLICK event to the button on the 2nd frame? I should note at this point that I am trying to avoid putting code on the timeline (except for stop() calls). This is how I am 'solving' the problem now:
Emailer registers an event listener for a frame change ( addEventListener("frame 2", onFrameChange) )On the 2nd frame of the MovieClip I am calling dispatchEvent(new Event("frame 2")); (I would prefer to not have this code on the frame, but I don't know what else to do)
My two complaints with this method are that, first I have calls to addEventListener spread out across different class methods (I would rather have all UI event listeners registered in one method), and second that I have to dispatch those custom "onFrameChange" events. The second complaint grows exponentially for MovieClips that have more than just 2 frames.
My so called solution feels makes me feel dirty and makes my brain hurt. I am looking for any advice on what to do differently. Perhaps there's a design pattern I should be looking at? Should I swallow my pride and write timeline code even though the rest of my application is written in class files (and I abhor the Flash IDE code editor)?
I absolutely LOVE the event system, and have no problem coding applications with it, but I feel like I'm stuck thinking in terms of AS2 when working with mutl-frame movieclips and code.

I am using as3 and within my movie I have a dynamic text box that contains a score.I need this score to be written to a text file preferbly in an array that only stores the highest 5 scores.I then need values from the array to be read and displayed on another movie which will act as a high score table. e.g. I will have a dynamic text box in my high score move that will display the 1st value in the array, and then the 2nd etc.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Writing An Irc Client?
Nov 24, 2010i'm running into major problems with writing an irc client, it works perfectly when i execute it through flash, but when i upload it to a site, it won't connect, i understand that i need an crossdomain file, i've been doing alot of research, and can't make head's or tails
debugging shows that even though i do: Security.loadPolicyFile("http://example.com/crossdomain.xml");, it still attempts to read an crossdomain file from the target irc server, however, i don't have control over the target machine(nor should that be necessary), how do i get around this, or what am i doing wrong?
what i really need, is a simple example of connecting to an server that i don't control to load some resources(i.e grabbing an image), where all the crossdomains file's sit, and how it's generally done, googling around, it seems this information isn't as easy to come by as i thought
edit: also, i'm using raw sockets to connect to the irc server, if that makes a diffrence edit: alright, been reading alot more information, it looks like i do need to have a policy file to connect to said server, which is beyond retarded, please, someone tell me there's a way around this, but that doesn't explain why it works through flash?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Writing XML And Calendars?
Nov 22, 2007So I'm working on this project for my school's library. I need to make an interactive calendar with which teachers can sign up for the computers in the Lab and Library. I'm using mostly ActionScript 2.0, and this is what I have so far.
Basically I need a calendar for each month of the year, in which you can click on each day, and edit it. It will have to have a drop-down box in so that you can select which class you need to schedule them for (1-7) and two check-boxes to choose either Lab, Library, or both. It will be used on many computers throughout the school, and so it will need to be able to write to XML (via PHP I presume?) and reload the XML file directly after the changes are made. It will all be password protected. I've figured that much out already, lol.
I've run into a hundred thousand problems. Everything I know has been self-taught or learned from the amazing Kirupa tutorials (I'm sure most of you are the same way!). So far I've tried combining several tutorials, the most promising of which was the XML Guestbook Tutorial. I wasn't able to get that to work, but then again, I am adapting it to work with something completely different. Also, I tried using a tutorial to render a calendar instead of hand-drawing each month (I don't even want to think of how long that would take!). I wasn't even able to successfully complete the calendar tutorial!

I am trying to read and write to an XML file.I have learned how to read an xml file but for the life of me, I can not write to the file.I have found many many tutorials that I can't seem to get to work.This is my goal... I have a small flash game that after the user wins, their user name, date, time and score get entered into the xml file. So, I just want to append the new info into the existing xml file (all the files will reside in the same directory on my server). I have all the variables ready to send.. just need the way to do it!
I have a separate AS3 flash file that shows a listing of the xml file to display the scores to the users, I have a working version of this... but I may have to change this to match how the info is being stored into the xml.

View 1 RepliesC++ :: Writing A Program Which Uses Voice Recogniton ?
May 2, 2010I'm a design student currently dabbling with Arduino code (based on c/c++) and flash AS3. What I want to do is to be able to write a program with a voice control input.
So, program prompts user to spell a word. The user spells out the word. The program recognizes if this is right, adds one to a score if it's correct, and corrects the user if it's wrong. So I'm seeing a big list of words, each with an audio file of the word being read out, with the voice recognition part checking to see if the reply matches the input.
Ideally i'd like to be able to interface this with an Arduino microcontroller so that a physical output with a motor could be achieved in reaction also.
Thing is i'm not sure if I can make this program in flash, in Processing (associated with arduino) or if I need another C program-making-program. I guess I need to download a good voice recognizing program, but how can I interface this with anything else? Also, I'm on a mac. (not sure if this makes a difference)
