Actionscript 3 :: Flash CS5 Won't Execute Code
Sep 29, 2011
I am getting a strange issue in Flash CS5. I have a .fla file that was working fine up until recently. Now, when I Ctrl-Enter to Test Movie...nothing happens.
I have a Document Class set up (and when I click the pencil button, it opens up the right script, so Flash knows where the code is) called Main. In the constructor, there is a trace('Main()') just so I know the constructor got called, but that trace isn't showing up. A few days ago this same code was working fine, so i'm guessing I knocked around a setting or two in the IDE (not sure which, since Flash has the classpath set correctly)[code]...

i'm wondering how flash works when it comes to executing code. when exactly does it begin executing onEnterFrame actionscript, and what determines fps? for example, if you have your movie/game/whatever set to run at 60 frames per second, does flash wait 1/60th of a second before it begins executing code and determining how to draw everything, and then finally loads the frame when all the necessary code has been executed? or does it begin to do things in advance, before the frame is scheduled to be loaded?

I have an weird issue with a fla file. I've worked on a big project for a long time ago. I use cs4 to compile the fla and Flash Develop for the classes. Yesterday I compiled many times and suddenly CS3 stopped executing actionscript. There is no compile errors, nothing. Just doesn't execute the code. I typed a simple trace in the first frame and deleted the symbols on the stage - it didn't trace nothing.When trying to compile this file I noticed that the size of the compiled swf cut down in the end of compiling - in decreases from 700KB to 300KB. I made a size report - it is strange that action script bytes is only 6, but I have many (about 100) classes:
ActionScript Bytes: 6
Location: ActionScript 3.0 Classes
It doesn't run any action script no matter whether it is in classes or directly in timeline frames.
The problem is not with CS3 because it compiles perfect other flash files. Do you have ideas why it happens? I've never seen such problem before?

is there a way to execute code that is stored in a string?(i guess the operation would look something like this)
var myCode:String = "{trace('Hello');trace('World')}";
var myFunction = myCode as Function;
myFunction();

Im working on a small project for school and im drawing a stickfigure with action script by drawing a line from his body to a moving point which represents his hand. the line bends at the elbow when the arm comes close and keeps a steady length. I've got 1 arm working perfectly fine but for the other arm and legs i want to do the exact same thing but i dont want to copy/paste all the code and change all the variables for each arm. How can i get AS3 to use the same code but just change the input and output variables?

So I have a quick movie clip and when that clip finished I want to do the following:
Code:
_root.logo_top.attachMovie("sabotage_media_logo", "sabotage_media_logo_mc", _root.logo_top.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.logo_top.sabotage_media_logo_mc._x = 50;
_root.logo_top.sabotage_media_logo_mc._y = 50;
What do I need to do? I tried doing onClipEvent(load) but it loads it at the start of the clip.

I have been trying everything I can find to have code start on the window.onload event that uses callbacks exposed via the ExternalInterface. I've had many of the attempts working in IE, but Firefox is causing me grief.I tried simply calling the code via an "onload=" statement in the body tag for starters, but that didn't work because (I'm assuming) the Flash piece wasn't loaded when onload was called. So I tried putting a line in the Flash that calls a javascript function once it's loaded up. I tried this both by putting the ExternalInterface.call statement in a "this.onLoad=function(){" block as well as just putting the call at the end of the statements on frame 1 of my presentation (with a stop() on the frame) - either way it isn't happening in Firefox.I also tried using a setInterval in Javascript to test to see if one of the methods exposed via the ExternalInterface is an object (or not undefined). Once again, it's working in IE, but not in Firefox.[code]
The only other thing I can think of at the moment is using the swfObject for writing the flash tags to the page, but I'm already writing them from an external file (and removing the IE "Click to activate this control" issue in the process). All these methods work fine after the initial load (although I also had issues with Firefox when I simply try to call the onload instructions after a setTimeout command as well).

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main_fla::MainTimeline/mouseLeave() This error is thrown out only when I try to call a function inside of loaded swf that is on the stage.

I've got 13 movieclips that all run a function (setNames) contained in a child object (namer) it contains. The function displays text in a dynamic text boxI've set them up with the instance names mark0 > mark12 so I can target them with a loop and array notation which is something I often use. But the loop sometimes doesn't work, however a list of 13 separate lines of code works fine. Am I overloading Flash with too much code commands at once, and is there a way around this?This doesn't work...
for(i = 0; i<13; i++) {
//sets names
this["mark"+i].namer.setNames();

When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

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.

I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.

I have a flash video on the first frame of my project. Once the video is finished, it is set to go to the 2nd frame and stop. That part works great.I'd like to set it up to send an email notification on that 2nd frame. Don't worry, this isn't a low-brow type of thing. (The presentation is going to one person and the email will go to him as well.) Anyway, I've created a .php file that will automatically fire the email off when the page is loaded, but I'd like to be able to execute that .php file from my flash presentation. I don't want to launch a pop-up window or anything if I don't have to.

I found the following command online, but it doesn't work for me.
Code:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "skynet.bat");
}
The .bat file is in the same folder AND has an edited copy in a folder called "fscommands", both of which work. The problem is in the flash file. I attached the code to a button (of course), but when I click it nothing happens.
