Actionscript 3 :: Big Performance Difference Between Using Class With Static Functions Vs Instantiated Class?
Mar 22, 2012I'm wondering if anyone has experience with if there is a big difference in performance in ActionScript 3 between keeping a class with only public static functions, and utilizing those functions often (as in a frame event at 30fps), and in turning the class into a "normal" class of which I instead make an instance and call the functions via the instance instead.

View 4 RepliesFlash :: AS3 Performance Difference Between Function And Events
Jun 2, 2011I working on a game project in Flash AS3. I need to pass data from one class (Game) to other class objects (Ships) on EnterFrame and performance is starting to be a issue. I was wondering is there a difference in performance between calling to the Ship a direct function or dispatching an event which the Ship can listen.
another question is where should I put the enterframe function. Is it better to use only one enterframe function and call the methods dispatch events from there, or it will be wiser to put the enterframe in the different objects (Ships)? note: some Ships are inactive most of the time.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Copying Functions To Duplicate A Function Then Use It
May 21, 2011I'm curious to know if there is any examples you all could give me any examples of copying a function in AS3; then use that copy independent of the original function it copied. I want to make an animation system that heavily depends on one type of function. Since it depends on one type of function, I cant have every single piece of code calling back to the same function if I want to use it multiple times. Is there a way of properly doing this? are their performance consequences? I'd really like to do this instead of writing several different functions out separately that work nearly the same. (plus I need to feed a set of values into those functions that are created, some being called by event listeners of course)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Extending Basic Functions / On Function Listner?
Feb 26, 2010I have a bunch of .fla files laying arround here.They are basic flash files with actions coded on the timeline.I want to add a class to control the files.In order to enable to sync the flash files I have a bunch of code in this class which takes care of the synchronising the files.The problem is; there are a lot of files.Personally, being a lazy person I don't think replacing basic functions like 'gotoAndPlay' with my personal functions.I would prefer to just extend the basic function, or listen for it so I can 'inject' my own pieces of code. Question: Is there a way to have something like a listener that tells me which functions are started? Is there a way to extend basic flash functions like gotoAndPlay() or play().

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing Functions - What Movieclips The Function Should Be Applied To?
Sep 11, 2009I somehow am able to write bits of code but am still learning how to restructure code so that it is more efficient.I have 15 buttons. Each one, when rolled over, should change the color of 2 movieclips underneath it (and when rolled out, should change back). I have the below code so far but I don't think I have to re-write the functions each time. How do I "re-use" the function code (or, only write the function code once), but specify what movieclips the function should be applied to? These are just 2 of the buttons of the 15:
Code:
menu_mc.invis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, changeColor);
menu_mc.invis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, changeBack);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Is Flagging All Of The Functions Within The Switch/case Function?
Oct 25, 2010I keep getting this message from Flash: "Scene 1, Layer 'A', Frame 1, Line 411136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1." and for the life of me, I can't understand why. I simplified the name and number of the buttons called but otherwise the code is intact. Flash is flagging all of the functions within the switch/case function, telling me that an argument is expected there. Why? I've tried the switch/case functionality with other requests (e.g., trace), but I cannot make it run a function.

var clicked = MouseEvent.CLICK;

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip - Stop All The Other Functions From Playing Once The .onRelease Function Has Started?
May 12, 2005I'm still finding my way around even the simplest things in Actionscript. I have a movieclip named 'leaf9' in which I'm using as a button (which happens to be within another movieclip). I have the following actionscript on the frame which contains 'leaf9':
[AS]
leaf9.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("rollover");[code].....
What I want is for all the other functions to go away once "shrink" has started to play, so that if the mouse goes over the button again, the clip doesn't start playing "rollover" etc etc. So how do I stop all the other functions from playing once the .onRelease function has started?
ActionScript 2.0 :: OnRelease Function To Cancel Out The Other Functions Once The User Presses The Button
Jun 22, 2006I have a MovieClip with 3 functions to act as a button - onRollover, onRollout, onRelease. I want the onRelease function to cancel out the other functions once the user presses the button.
How would I script that?
Code:
navMenu1.onRollOver = function() {
_parent.jumpTobg1X(2);
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
[Code]...
Basically, I have the function sliding another movieclip along the x axis. onRelease it slide to position 3 - which I want it to stay there, but my onRollout function keeps sliding it back to position 2 (which i need for users just browsing the navigation before a selection is made)
