I have a function that calculates how many characters remaining the user can type, but I don't know why it only starts counting from the 2nd characters. Means at the end I will able to type an extra character from the maximum amount I set.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI made a flash video player for a customer and it's all working well- but there is one problem:
They want to count impressions (how many times a video was played).
I managed to achieve this before, using loadVars to call the link.
It works when I run the SWF on my PC (the link to call being on an external server) but it doesn't work anymore, once the SWF is on the server.
I don't want to make any assumptions what might cause this- because I don't want to "taint" the possible answers coming from you experts out there
This is the code excerpt (the link is just an example):
Code:
var counting_pixel = "http://www.theserver.com/reporting/count.php";
newURL = new LoadVars();
newURL.onLoad = function (success)
[Code]....
When the file runs locally, it traces "SUCCESS" but now that it's on the customer's server, it fails.
The problem (as I see it) might be, that the data that is "loaded" is on a different server, while the scope is limited to local access...
But I need the local access because the SWF loads an XML from the customer's server (the XML contains the path to the FLV)... so I can't just set the SWF's scope from local to external... or can I?
how to write a function that will count how many characters you can enter to text field i.e: we have a text field with max char = 60, and when you type text we see that number going down

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a functionality into a Flash app, which would calculate the number of days that have passed since a defined date.
The idea is that a start date would be defined in the script (in whatever format) and the application would count and return the number of days since that date. According to that number the app would determine the availability of a set of links listed in the style of a calendar. I'm gonna be using a date variable from my servers to determine the current date.
How should I proceed with this? How should the varying number of days in months be handled? What about leap year?

View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text field that reads the text from a XML file. And what I want to do is simply count the amount of characters being in that text field.
I've tried:
trace (myTextArea.length);
trace(myTextArea.text.length);
and I get this"Undefined" crap =/.
And I'm using that code in a onEnterFrame function so it's not that the XML is late loaded into flash or something...

Just a quick question about the Timer class of Flex 4. I have a timer object with a set repeatCount. At the end of the set number of cycles, the TIMER_COMPLETE event is triggered and the timer.running changes to false. Now I can call the timer.start() function again. My question is that at this stage, does it also set the repeatCount property back to zero. Or does one have to explicitly call the timer.reset() function.
View 1 Replieswat should i write for the as to recount the number of btn have been clicked? cos this is used in a replay btn. i have btn for user to click n count how many time the btn have been clicked n show out the match image, so now another btn (replay)to let the user to see again the image so what should i write in the replay btn's as to let the count of the times of btn have been clicked start. cos what i done now it can't start to count again it just plus the number i have clicked for the btn.
Let's say if the image just only have 3 so tat when i finish clicked 3 times all the image ady showed n now i click the replay btn but wat i get is wrong cos in the output box it still counting the number i have been click for the btn so it show 4,5,. it can't start count again.
I'm trying to make a volume button for my site and it looks something like this:

i want the volume bar to start filled and when the user hits the minus button it lowers the volume and when it hit plus it takes the volume up well when I go down and up the volume bars start to get crazy...it just works when I go down the whole way and after it goes up the whole way, when I change direction on the midle of the path it jumps some bars...
Code:
volDown.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menosVol);

I created a timer with found tutorials and the Flash help files and everything works fine. My timer counts up from 000.000,0 to 999.000,0. Now I would like to also be able to do the same, but counting down from 999.000,0 to 000.000,0
Easy enough I thought, but now . how to make some modifications in my code to count down.
My code for counting up is the follow:
Code: Select allvar hours:Number = 0;
var seconds:Number = 0;
var minutes:Number = 0;
var pauseTime:Number = 0;
[Code].....
I've found a simple count up script over on Actionscript.org
var count:Number = 0;
var maxNum:Number = 1250;
var num:Number = 1;
this.createTextField("txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 50);
[code]....
This works great for my use, but now I am trying to figure out how to make it count down. I've tried changing everything to opposites like count=1250 and maxNum=0 (I think this would be the minNum instead), count+=num to count-=num, and count>=maxNum to count<=maxNum.
Is it possible to make a count up timer (from a specific date, birthday for exemple) from the count down timer ?
I've tried to change a few things (I'm very bad in programming) but I can't get the date properly.
If not, do somebody know a count up timer (.fla) that I can use ?
I am having issue with my created flash, it can't handle chinese characters? is there some way i can handle this thru code? or should there be any font or language pack installed
View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this.

i am making a quiz. My problem is that once the user completes the quiz and wants to start again the quiz is already on the last question. How do i make it so that once the user clicks start again the questions and answers arrays start from the beginning, sort of reset themselves.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
Minutes = "00";
Seconds = "00";
Centiseconds = "00";

Here is the action scrip that I created. Correct it if you can.
Process.visible = false;
Cycles.visible = false;
stop();

hy this very simple preloader is not counting? It sits still on 1%, thats it, then eventually the content of the next scene fills the screen.(I use to import a number of heavy images to Scene 2 to slow the loading process down.)

var nr = 0;
//end number

I'm working on a demo (mx 04) and it has a little over 14,000 frames so far. The preloader was working before but now it isn't. Is there a limit or something to how flash works when there are so many frames used?

why this very simple preloader is not counting? It�s stuck on 1% (or whatever), then eventually the content of the next scene fills the screen. If you can�t open the attached file here�s the plan:There are 3 scenes. Scene 2 and 3 are just filled with images, or that�s the idea at least.Scene 1 is called "Preloader". It contains one layer("actions") with two frames. The first frame has the following actionscript:
a = getBytesLoaded();
b = getBytesTotal();
c = Math.ceil((a/b)*100)+"%";
if(a == b) {
nextScene();
}
The second frame has the following action:
gotoAndPlay(1);
In the first frame of the actions layer, on the stage, there is a dynamic textbox with the variable "_root.c"(no quotations).
