Professional :: Watch Object Variable Change In Parent
Jun 29, 2010
I've been trying to use the object.watch() method. I've never used this before, so I'm assuming I'm pretty far off base here. What I have is a parent movie (_root.) that has a bunch of variables. As the user progresses through the movie/project the variables change based on the user's actions. Within this parent movie there is another movie embedded. In this movie, things change based on the variable changes of the parent movie. So, for instance, say the user gets through frame #20 and hits the "next" button in the parent movie, this triggers a variable change in the parent movie, which then causes the embedded movie to change its color from blue to red (or whatever, action doesn't matter)

Guys how do you watch for change in a Global variable? This is the code I am using which watches for change. (only the local variable)
// Declaring the variable
myVar = "AtoF";
// Callback that will be triggered every time there is a change

Played around with changing the different properties i made inspectable - so here it comes: The property (typed object) i would like to change can not be edited in the IDE.

I'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container. I'm almost there now, but I got stuck at the last part. Here's my code so far[code]...

I've got an external class and make like 20 objects with it. If I e.g. hover my mouse above them, the objects themselves know that, the parent clip however does not. Now I want a global boolean to be set to true, if one of those objects is focused. So in other words I want to set a parent variable from inside of an object that I created with a class.
I could make myself an enter-frame-loop and check all of the objects all of the time, but that doesn't sound like a good solution.
I could also add 20 change-listeners to the parent clip, but I'm not sure about the performance of that. And I have listeners inside the objects anyway, so those should be somehow able to take care of that, or isn't that possible?

got a bit of a tricky one here [well, it could be an easy one, but I have no idea where to start on this one]
Lets say I have two objects on a stage, one named mcA and mcB, within mcA I have another object [called subA] which contains a few small objects, a AS class and some other stuff like components etc...
Is there a way for me to replicate that exact object [subA] inside mcB without loosing any data and such? is this posible?
So basically I want to make a copyClip function, that has the ability to copy/move objects from one object/clip to another...

Is it possible to add a "watchdog" to a variable so that it fires an event if that variable changes value?
I know that I can have a loop testing every frame, but that seems unelegant.

i have 5 submit buttons for example. When each submit button is clicked, a portion of the application is done. When all 5 portions are completed(or when 5 variables == true) I want something to happen.As of right now, on my submit buttons I am checking to see if all variables are true like so...
Code:
mySub.onPress = function(){
someVar1 = true;
if(someVar1 == true && someVar2 == true){// 3 more conditions here....
// do something
}
}
Is there a way to "watch" these variables, and when all are true do something, instead of having these conditions on my submit buttons?

Why can't I watch youtube videos on my laptop? It's brand new. I can go to the website and the video loads just fine. It starts to play but then shortly after it quits. The monitor flickers and then goes black. I don't think it's the Adobe Flash player.

I have a 180mb SWF which is a lecture from one of my online classes, when i try to watch it i can watch about 20 minutes and then it will run out of memory. I watched in my task manager as Flash player went from only using 20mb to upwards of 500mb to 1000mb and it kept going up, it's like the more i watch it just keeps going up and up. Tried it on 3 different computers and still get the same problem, is there some reason this would be happening? Why does flash player eat up so much memory? I have Adobe Flash CS4 installed so it's playing through the player not a web browser or anything. (tried it in web browser and it does the same thing)

I have an overlay that I pull up in response to a button click. This overlay is dynamically populated by a TextField, a MovieClip, and a Bitmap. I used to add them to the overlay with addChild() and induce a index out of bounds error to make them go away (I was in a hurry and I don't think I'm using removeChild() right). Well, I decided to do it better and dynamically change the object inside the holding variable. However... the Bitmap is gone. It won't appear. The overlay puller function takes a data-holding class I made and the picture is a BitmapData object.
I can't use the line new Bitmap(picture) because it doesn't work; that makes nothing appear. So, I guess my question is can I store a line of text in a variable and then use that variable as code? Like... Could I have something like this and get an image as an output? I imagine it could be done with XML, but is there another way? I tried storing the constructor in a variable and calling it with object.constructor, but I don't know if I was using it right and it didn't work.

I want to create a XML file that I can change for different languages. It contains the names of the fields that have text and the text that they should be changed to: eg. <lang name="titleLabel" value="This is the app title" />. I can read in the XML lines into an array but I can't figure out how to use the name as an object name:

I was trying to change the linkage of an object from a .fla already created and with some linkages. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new ActionScript 3.0 .fla file
2. Create a 2 Symbols (as MovieClip), name it and put some linkage.
3. Save & Close the file.
4. Open the saved file.
5. Try to change the linkage (by elimination or rename) --> YOU CAN'T!
This is a disgusting error, I can't work with these.

I have an object which is converted into a symbol. I double click on this object/symbol and it goes into its own seperate timeline. For my coding purposes I would like to know how to change the registration point of the symbol so it moves along or is addjustable on a symbols its own timeline so a can create animations on an objects timeline without screwing up my codeing because objects don't register when their moved away from the registration point the compiler still thinks that the registration point is where it was previously.

Why is it that I can never change a vector object's color? I mean I would think it'd be as simple as changing the fill color but that does nothing.
And why is it that copying and pasting vector objects from illustrator very inconsistent? Sometimes I get the exact copy, and other times their's three anchor points missing, very much screwing up the look of the object. Also, when I import a vector png image made in photoshop to flash, the fill is hollow at times.

So basically I have a class which adds items and needs a drag and drop. I change the x value of the entire contianer class simply by this.x = something
By drag and drop all the items slide across the screen. When I trace the x value of the container class it has changed, but the x value of the items stayed the same (although their x value on the screen definitely changed).

I want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.
