I am looking for a component/tutorial/movie that is a FLASH countdown timer/clock that you can change the targeted time on the fly using xml. So, the clock might countdown for 4 days, 3 hours and 19 minutes to an event. but then halfway through i decide i want to change the event to a day later, so i need to us xml to dynamically change the clock to add 24 hours or whatever onto the clock without having to go back into the flash file.
Additionally, this flash file will be part of a flash screensaver that has xml driven photo gallery in the background. this photo gallery i can do, but i am looking for a flash countdown with xml access. I am willing to pay/donate for it if there are no free ones available.
I'm just wonder if its possible to change States via a function in flex?
View 1 Repliesi have a datagrid which contained several items,when i click one row, a panel will show,however, if i have already selected one row and then click some blank place, this panel will also show because there is already a selecteditem,which will be a problem. Then i change this click event to change event, however, there will be another problem, which is if i click the same row, nothing will happend. so is there any better idea when i click a row, a panel shows and when i click the blank place, nothing happened.

So problem is with my static function's showConfirmation handler, if I go through debug, it just skips that function and continues doing myDispatchedEvent. Why doesn't anonymous function inside showConfirmation function execute?
I am learning Flex and trying to make a simple RPG to practice. I am using view states to change between screens. right now I have a HomeView.mxml which displays my character information, InventoryView.mxml which shows my inventory items, and EquipmentView.mxml which shows the equipped items. They each have their respective view states.
in my main mxml file, i create a global variable for the character and an ArrayCollection of items in the game. it creates 2 labels in mxml for Inventory and Equipment and when i click on the label it calls a click handler which sets currentState="EquipmentView" or "InventoryView" This works and the state changes and the respective views are shown properly. My problem is in my EquipmentView state. When i enter the state the first time, it has a creationComplete function which displays images for my equipment and sets a click handler. when i click the item, it "unequips" it and removes it from the equipment list and removes the image. this also works fine, but when I go to my inventory view and "equip" an item and return to the EquipmentView, the image does not show. I have a label which counts the length of my equipmentList variable and that is accurate when i switch views, but i cant get the image to display again. Is there a way to call my displayEquippedItems() function (which is originally called on creationComplete) when the view is changed?

i have a web page with 2 frames : leftFrame and mainFrame. The left frame is my menu with flash buttons - home, about, news and contact.
What i want is this : when the user hits the "contact" button, i want contact.html to load in mainFrame.i've been at it for 2 days,, searching help, tutorials, sites, everything
i've got the beggining of the script :
this.onMouseDown = function() {
getURL(contact.html target="mainFrame");
}
So far from a previous post i created a MC that goes to a targeted location with this AS:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
this.onMouseDown = function() { t1 = new Tween(mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone, mc._x, this._xmouse, 1, true); t2 = new Tween(mc, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,

I'm trying to have a preLoader function (preLoadTotal) receive the first progress event from a loader, add it's bytesTotal value to the bytesTotalALL var, and immediately stop it's loading after this. I currently only have one loader triggering this function but intend to add more in order to calculate the total size of all loaders combined (bytesTotalALL).
In the following example you can see my attempt to kill the load after it's bytesTotal info is extracted but no matter what I try the loading continues. What would be the proper syntax to stop the targeted loader?

I attach this flash filecontaining my folderIts basically a button.and when I move my mouse over to the helmet the speech bubble with descriptions comes up.basically I just want my helmet to be the working area.at the moment, when I move my mouse over to the where speech bubble is going to be, button works... but I only want my helmet to be the working area..so mouse over to the helmet and speech bubble comes up. not anywhere else.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to cycle through targeted movieclips via an array.The symbols are labeled as such, kali1, kali2, kali3, ...etc.What I wanted to do was to move selected movieclips to a particular frame via an array loop.Here is the code I am using and the output I get:

How do I get a targeted mc to communicate with the parent timeline? I'm not using levels but targeted mc.
I need the playback head to go from the targeted movie clip (this is called nested, correct?) to the parent timeline and stop at a particular movie instance or frame label. I have been unsucessfully using this:
gotoAndPlay(_parent.instancename);
I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward. Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie. For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.
These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works. I believe it's because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the '_root' in the child movie is no longer the actual root?
I have tried both methods in the child movie:
//method without using 'with'
_root.ContentWindow.play();
And using the 'with action like so:
//method using 'with
with (_root.ContentWindow) {
play();
}
It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it - cuz now the MC 'ContentWindow' is no longer one level down from the '_root' but two levels?
For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()
How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?
Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.
popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
[code]....
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).

I have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?
View 3 RepliesI am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "look inside" the dropdown.
So I'm trying to block the change, but can't. My next resort is to change the selected index back to what it was before the change, Is there any way to do this within the scope of a ListEvent.CHANGE event listener?
Current Workaround is to basically re-assign the controls selected item the same way I am defining the selected item when I originally build it (a default selection). So a user sees their change then it immediately changes back to the default selection.
I've got a whole bunch of data being displayed in different Labels, now I'm adding an edit state. I'd like all the labels to "transform" into TextInputs. I was just wondering if it possible to uses states to change

Let's say I have a Custom Event Class, and it has several Event types stored in static Constant:
[Code]...
Is there an easy way to validate that the type passed to the Constructor is one of the Static Constants of the Class, without having to check it against each value?
I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

I've got a function in the class of my game pieces that changes the pieces colour determined on the value given to it when it is created:
new Piece(x, y, type, Colour, angle)
the function is like this:

var colourTransform:ColorTransform = transform.colorTransform;

How would I go about only changing the colour of one layer within the movieclip? I know it has to be converted to a movieclip but I'm not sure how to do that with the way that my code for changing the colour of the pieces works.
I am currently working on a music site that has a custom built mp3 player, where the action script calls to an external xml. It works beautifully. It is all on one frame.... in the background of the music player is edited video that I manipulate in final cut. I have next and pre buttons that call the xml. What I am trying to do is change the video when the song is changed. Im not sure if I call a fuction to the button next frame + or - 1 or if I can call the video to the xml. I am a graphic designer learning code and am not sure how to tackle this. This site is my senior project.
