i have created a comment box with a scroller but i do not want scroller to scroll unless a user adds more text so therefore i will like to add a if statement on this code.

I'm working with the php hit counter here on the Kirupa site and wondered if there was a way to test the data in the txt file during the loop to determine playback of a movieclip.... in other words, when the loop starts, a variable is created storing the number in the textfile... the next time the loop repeats, the textfile is checked and matched against the variable... if the variable differs from the textfile, the variable value is changed to match the textfile, and a movieclip plays to signal that this change in the textfile has occurred.
View 8 RepliesI have a movieclip with the instance name information_mc. I am trying to get this movieclip to move up and down, depending on its y co-ord or in what direction it is tweening at the moment it is clicked.I have the following AS:
Code:
information_mc._y = 240;
var curMovement:String = "goingup";

I used cs4 to create the swf. I published with html output. I noticed I was running in quirks mode so to fix that I put a doctype statement befor the html tag. This is the doctype:[code]the swf still diplays at it's full width but only about the top 1/5'th of the output displays.
View 1 Repliesi want my if statement to check if boolean is true so here is my code.
name:Boolean = new Boolean();
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myMouseEvent);function myMouseEvent(event:MouseEvent):void{ name:Boolean = true; if(name:Boolean = true) { //code to run....

Syntax error:expecting right paren before colon.
probably a simple explanation that i cannot this of.
Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code
[Code]...
I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
why this code won't work

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
i am new with adobe flash and i have made 2 swf files that need to link to one main one, i am not sure what the actions should say. so far my programming for my main swf where i want all the other swfs to open from are:

I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.

GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?

i was woundering at the moment my website only has flash objects like navigation bar and ive just madea post saying il pay 20 pound for people to fix my errors

I have a script which is giving me a lot of trouble since I have no idea how to write another "if statement" inside another if-else statement. I keep getting errors, I guess I don't know where to put the braces exactly...

}else if (bla == bla){

So I'm getting a memory error when I try adding a keyframe to a rather large flash file that says "Not enough memory available" but I know I have plenty.
I'm running a 3.0ghz Quad core with 8GB of ram and about 100 gigs of HD space free on every drive (save the one where flash is installed, it has 16gb).
I've increased my virtual memory to 4096 - 8192 on my C drive and to 2048-4096 on the drive flash is installed to so it shouldn't be a page file issue either.
I need to add a control bar (play, pause, progress bar) to a SWF video in Dreamweaver. It can be very simple, the look and feel is not that important, it just needs to be functional. The only way I can figure out to add one is to import a FLV file into Dreamweaver instead. The problem with this is that I can't figure out how to export a FLV file directly from Flash CS3, and using a converter program to create a FLV file nullifys the links in the menu at the end of the video. Any help would be great! This seems like it should be really simple to accomplish, but I have been pulling my hair out over it all day now.

Sam Young. Not Uncle Sam, but here to serve you!
Now, obviously, that's not what I want it to say, but it's an example, of how I want it to move across the page, on the flag, before it opens to the first page. I've tried everything I know to do. I'm sure I'm just missing something silly.
i have this flash object which i'd like to make linkeable i don't know how to bundle a URL into the SWF to do this.. 'd like to be able click the object and be taken to another webpage, without the other page page opening as a new window or triggering pop-up blockers on peoples browse

I added another timeline layer and inserted my music file which is 4:03 minutes long which I set to loop as well.

View 20 RepliesWhen addressing nested movieclips like so: _root.movieclip.movieclip.variable they need to have an instance name set, otherwise they count as undefined. So I can set that in the properties no problem, but when deleting it from the stage and then readding (manually or by actionscript) the instance name is gone thus I can not address nested clips by action script.
I don't understand how this will work then, since every time I add a clip by code it will have no instance name. The only alternative for me so far was keeping the clip on the stage the whole time, just out of bounds or invisible so I can still do stuff like _root.movieclip.movieclip.variable or _root.movieclip.movieclip.gotoAndStop(2).
how to add completely new data to XML data I'm holding in a var.
I'm importing XML data into an editor I'm creating. The XML looks like this:
<itemList_120>
<mediaFile order="1" playTime='2' transIn='1' transOut='9'>gif.gif</mediaFile> <mediaFile order="2" playTime='1' transIn='6' transOut='8'>jpg.jpg</mediaFile>
[Code]....
Rather than change existing XML data, how do I add completely new data? ie, if the above var held two "mediaFile" lines of XML, how do I add or insert a third?
