Professional :: Calling Functions Within SWFs In TileList?
Jul 14, 2010
I've used the code below to load swfs into my tileList and set their colors using setData() within each swf. Everything seems to work except "source:e.currentTarget.content". The swfs seem to be mixed up randomly each time it runs. Their colors are set correctly and all the other tilelist info is correct. What have I done wrong with "source:e.currentTarget.content"? I can swap "source:e.currentTarget.content" with "source:myXMLList[loadPosition].source" which gives me the correct swf but then the colors aren't set.
for(var f:int = 0; f<myXMLList.length(); f++){
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event):void{
Object(e.currentTarget.content).setData(myXMLList[loadPosition].param eter[0], myXMLList[loadPosition].parameter[1]);

I have a tileList that I'm loading swfs into. One of my swfs has a particle system in it and every time it is loaded into the tilelist the particle system slows down. Every time the swfs are loaded I use tileList.removeAll() to clear it and then tileList.addItem() to repopulate the tileList. My guess is that this isn't actually unloading the swfs completely so they are building up in memory. What do I have to do to unload the swfs completely to prevent them from slowing down?
I have a series of calculations i'm doing over a bunch of objects stored in a array. Each function is pretty CPU demanding but if you only run one function, it just works fine.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::BaseScrollPane/drawBackground() at fl.controls::TileList/draw() at fl.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()
Now I've tried several of Adobe's own examples from this page, http:/[url]....., and they all throw this error as well.The error is triggered by the TileList instance being the argument of the addChild function.Here's my package, which works fine when I change the displayComponent is be a List.
has anyone made a Custom Skin for a TileList component in Flash CS5. I want to change the scrollbar of the TileList, i want the track bar as just a thin white line and the thumb a orange circle, this for a Touch Interface.
If I have a function and I want to call a variable from another function (only 1variable), how do I do it? I know in the olden days you could set the variable to local or global, but that does not seem to work anymore. There is only 1 variable I need access to, but all the tutorials I have come across talk about making classes for multiple variables.
I can't get it but, i'm coding in as3 and i can't target a function from a swf file loaded in the DisplayObject loader in any way. I don't want to create a class to make this function works. It's a simple function, made to change a picture every time the user navigates on another swf. Well. The point is, why in the name of God, the as3 cannot target another swf? How can i do it?
I have a Master SWF file that needs to load one of five different content SWFs on a random basis. In other words, I would like the visitor to see a different one of five content animations each time he/she visits the page. Is there a way to just call one of five different URLs on a random basis? Here's my code so far:
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.x = 12; var swfURL:String = "b2bAnim1.swf"
[code]...
I would like to randomly differ the URL variable (swfURL) to select one of the following five URLs:
I have made an event listener:text0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMe);showMe is a function, but I need it to call more than 1 function at once i.e. -ext0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMe1, showMe2, showMe3, showMe4, showMe5, showMe6, showMe7);Each function contains an if statment as below.
function showMe1(event:MouseEvent):void { if (shuffledArray[1]==orderArray[1]){
Is there any way to call two functions concurrently at the same time in AS3? I have two functions which do very sensitive things, a difference of 0.1 second is considered failure.
I'm loading a flash file using the built in Loader class. How can I call one of the original swf's functions from the loaded swf?I know about LocalConnection and using that with other SWFs on the same webpage, but is there a better way of doing it if you're loading an swf within another? The reason is that I need to get a return value from the function, and local connection's send() only provides a true/false.
I have this function that builds menus, and I'm using a tweening class function to move the menu items around. The thing is that when calling the tween function I need the submenu building function to wait until the tween is finished otherwise things start freaking out. It's organized like this (pseudo code):
[Code]...
The problem is that I need the first tweening to finish before I can build the submenu. I've tried using the onMotionFinished, but it doesn't seem to want to call a function nestled into another function (in this case buildMenu()).
while the condition of a if statement is true, as in the following hypothetical example, will it keep executing that code continuously until the condition somehow becomes false?
i.e. - will it keep trying to load the photo into the photo_movieClip instance continuously until the condition is false?
Code:
if (condition == true) {photo_movieClip.loadPhoto(image); //send image from array to load into photo_mc};
[i]...If so, how can i make it call that function only once even if the condition remains true?
I have this REALLY wierd problem. I have a MovieClip that is attached onto the stage. In this MovieClip I have the init() function. When I try and call this function, after the MovieClip has been attached on stage it doesn't work! I can't belive it!
its a site about interior design. my job is to add some code to do something. i checked the code and his approach is not so good.. he's coding inside objects and frames at the same time. (ive read many actionscript books and this is a really bad practice). Here's the problem... he wants this to be implemented in the site...1.) in the gallery there is a scrolling thumbnails, he wants this to pause about 4 seconds then it will start to scroll..(ive already fixed this by creating a function interval.
Here is where my problem is...2.) When you click the thumbnail, the enlarged view will pop up.. the enalarged view are external swfs... the client wants that when you click on the thumbnail, the scrolling will stop and the external popup enlarged image will come out...this external swf has an exit button to go back to the main gallery window which is another swf... so the client wants that when you hit exit from the external swf popup window, the scrolling will resume.... im having a hard time figuring this out because i dont know how to call a function from an external swf to the main movie (the gallery page) Ill post the fla of main movie, gallery and a single external swf link of the thumbnail. just click on the first picture that will appear on the gallery
I was able to find different threads about random loads: the most are photocontainer, well I also found a text random loader But I can't find some about function random calling: in a site I'm building I have three functions (but other will be added) that when called in callback change general graphic appearance, loading a dozen of different parts in various container with attachMovie; I wish a function that loads them randomly
Actually I'm trying: //variable "funArr" with the three function names var funArr:Array = new Array("montaspazio", "montabilancia", "montaaereo");
i'm trying to call a function on a clip, but i want to use a variable that i'm sending to the clip so that when the one function gets done it knows what to do next. i just have no idea of what the syntax would be. here's a sample.
I have a TileList with movie clips as elements. The MCs contain buttons, but I can't click on the buttons and other elements because TileList is "over" them. How to make buttons clickable? Also, I don't need highlighting in the TileList on rollover and click. How to remove this effect?
I begin with flash in CS5 and learn it with "classroom in a book" on a mac on snow leopard.At the lesson 8 I have a problem with the componant tileList.I put it on the scene and call it thumbnails_tl properties:
x:47 y:150 w:1270 h:318 columnwith:125[code]....
in the action panel I put the next code : "thumbnails_tl.addItem({label:"test", source:"thumbnails/image.jgp", data:"nothing"});
but when I test it, I have no image on my screen and no error in the script and execution ??
I'm having some trouble calling a JavaScript function from the HTML file I've embedded my SWF in.I'm currently using Flash 8.I'm trying to to simply call a function which will open an alert window, but when I click my button, nothing happens.
I'm new to writing several different class files.. and trying to make a set of boxes that expand/collapse by mouse click and timer..
I have 4 class files, Box, BoxGroup, BoxTimer, and Main.
I can call the functions in Box class from BoxGroup class, but not the functions in the BoxTimer class. it keeps throwing this error. I don't understand why since i'm using the same method between the other 2 class files...
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property timer_start not found on CollapsingBox and there is no default value. at CollapsingBoxGroup/on_click()
I don't understand why within my function, initially the status of stage.scaleMode via a trace() is NO_SCALE, then it becomes SHOW_ALL. The code below is found at three different location in my overall code.
