Actionscript 3 :: Run Methods In An Ordered Sequence?
Oct 22, 2010
I have a class with several methods I must run in an specific order. So, I created a kind of chain where each one calls the next in its last sentence (sometimes with calls, sometimes dispatching events):
internal function a(evt:SwapEvent):void { //started from custom event
...
b();
}
[Code]....
But, as far as I know, Flash Player doesn't make a synchronous execution. i.e., it doesn't wait until method a() completes to execute b()
clean and bullet-proof implementation? This application will run in an endless loop 24x7

I found an interesting questions regarding the events in action script: is the event buffered and ordered?
Ie) In a swfloader example, I setup a timer(1 sec) to run a function, in the function I setup a listener to event INIT of the loaded swf. It depends on the network condition that whether the timer handler or the INIT event will be first executed. Imagine a case that the INIT event fired first but the handler to handle the INIT event be setup later, will the handler be invoked?
Another question, if the loaded swf fired several events very fast, will the events be kept ordered as the fire sequence?

I've a container in a scrollpane with some vertically ordered movieclips in it (one on top of the other). I have another container of movieclips that I can drag into container 1. Once the new movieclip is dragged in, the other clips move to make space for it. Also, the clips in 1 can be dragged to a new position, and the other clips move up or down to accomodate the moved clip.
I did it using a lot of x and y positioning. It works, until I use the scroller. Then the positioning gets all screwy. My thinking now is to use arrays, but I'm wondeirng if it's possible when you're pushing an item into an array, to push it into a certain position in the array? So, push it into position 15 for example? How do you tell Flash to add an item to a certain array position?

randomly start an ordered list of SWF's.I have my main SWF calling up external SWF's. I have 2 groups of external SWF's From my main SWF Actionscript, I want to randomly play one SWF in Group A and continue cycling through Group A (in order) until it is finished.Then I want to randomly play one SWF from Group B and continue cycling through that list (in order) until the list is cycled through. Then repeat group A (random start, but staying in order), etc.
My current ActionScript works for Group A to randomly select and play in order, I need it to stop after it gets to the random starting point (so it doesn't repeat) and start up Group B (which isn't in there yet)
ActionScript Code:
var logos:Array = new Array();
logos[0] = "logo1.swf";
[code]...
I need it to completely play through the Group A list before it goes onto Group B

I am trying to build an ordered list in Flash using html text but Flash doesn't recognize my <ol> </ol> and <li> </li> tags, my <br> tags work though...
This is my test code (the text is inside Flash at the moment):
Code:
//Text Format
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txt.paddingTop = 2;

I am testing interaction between two swf's on one web page so that I can understand how it all works before starting development.
I have two classes: the actual program (called AdminTool) and a navigation swf (called Navigation).
Here is my code for the actual tool:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
so this is executing the method's from the first swf based on the button pressed... or at least it is supposed to...
So when I load the page, both swf's appear and it looks like the buttons are taking the click event, but nothing is happening on the AdminTool swf.
Two questions:
What am I doing wrong?Is there a better way to test this sort of thing? (Where I can get trace messages, etc)

I am trying to make a file upload program using as3 and amfphp. Instead of using the upload method I am instead calling an amfphp function and passing the filereference.data as one of the paramaters. This works well and good, however, i have no way to track the progress of the file upload, other then when it completely finishes uploading. I've decided to chunk up the bytearray in flash before i pass it so that i can get more progress information during the upload. The problem is when I try to take the data from filereference and put it into a bytearray it gives me an End of file was encountered error.

I've built controllers for the application which are defined in the Document class while the get & set methods are in the appropriate class. I find they become very screen real-estate intensive once you have more than 10 methods so i was wondering if anyone could let me know a way for writing them which has one function and sets and gets all the properties. heres some of them which define all the height,width, color,stroke,fill,tint of a drawn rectangle.

I'm extremely new to Flash and AS3. I used code snippets in CS5.5 to load an external swf from a main swf. Later I will have 10 swfs to load each with its own button in the main swf. It loads beautifully on top of the main swf. In the external swf I made a button to close and return to the main swf, so the user can then select another button. However I've tried various methods to unload and I have run into two problems. First, the close button does not work, and second if I add code to the close button it screws up the external swfs code. The stop at the first frame does not work and it plays through without the swfs other buttons working. Here is the code to load from the main swf:

The question is how could I stop a method being called twice, where the first call has not "completed" because its handler is waiting for a url to load for example?
I have written a flash client which interfaces with a java server using a binary encrypted protocol (I would love to not have had to re-invent the whole client/server object communcation stack, but I had to encrypt the data in such a way that simple tools like tamper data and charles proxy could not pick them up if using SSL).The API presents itself to flas as an actionscript swf file, and the API itself is a singleton. the api exposes some simple methods, including:
login()
getBalance()
startGame()
endGame()
Each method will call my HttpCommunicator class.HttpCommunicator.as (with error handling and stuff removed):
public class HttpCommunicator {
private var _externalHalder:function;
public function communicate(data:String, externalHandler:APIHandler):void {
// do encryption
[code]...
Will the second call trounce the first calls communicator variable? i.e. will it behave as if its static, as there is onlyone copy of the API object?If say there was a button on the GUI which had "update balance", and the user kept clicking on it, at the same time as say a URLLoader complete event hander being called which also cals the apis getBalance() function (i.e. flash being multithreaded).

In Flash CS4, I've got a project that's working with a lot of XML. Previously, it's all been working fine, but recently I'm getting warnings like this when trying to compile:
Warning: 3594: toXMLString is not a recognized method of the dynamic class XML.
Warning: 3594: appendChild is not a recognized method of the dynamic class XML.
The lines of code that these errors refer to are:
stream.writeUTFBytes(currentXML.toXMLString());
and
currentXML.appendChild(marker.getXML());
"stream" is a FileStream object and "currentXML" is an XML object. "marker" is an instance of my own class, which I have imported, but I'm pretty sure that's not related.As I've said it's only happening now. I don't see anything in my code that could have changed it. Even if I turn the changes into comments, I still get errors.In addition to these two I am also getting other warnings, although all of them concern a method "not being recognized" in the XML class.I am using Flash Pro CS4 and am coding on the first frame of the timeline, as opposed to in a Document Class. Oh, and I'm making an AIR app, not a Flash Player one.

I'm loading an external AS3 SWF using the Loader class but i need to access a method inside the loaded SWF. how can i do this?

I'm new to AS3. I've got two classes.
damnMoles.as and startBtn.as
The damnMoles class uses a method called randomPlay();
ActionScript Code:
public function randomPlay():void {
this.gotoAndPlay("moleLabel"+randomNumber(1, 18));
}
Which basically allows the looped mole animation to start from various points in its timeline. I could probably use a different method to do this using an interval variable, but I originally coded this in AS2.0 and I want to update it, to see how this are different.
damnMoles class is attached to 6 mrMole# instances on the timeline.
Originally I used code on the main stage timeline to start the animation of the moles.
ActionScript Code:
startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startClick);
function startClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
mrMole1.randomPlay();
}
This works fine, however, I would like to refrain from timeline code and use .as files. My startBtn class looks like this, but I get the error:
1120: Access of undefined property mrMole1.
ActionScript Code:
package com{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
[Code] .....
So, how does this work? When I want to use a method from another class that has multiple instances on the stage?

I've written a pre-loader for my game, it uses Loader, URIRequest and LoaderInfo to display a bytes left/total counter as the main game SWF loads - this all works fine.
However what then happens is that the main SWF constructor is called, so the game starts running "in the background" while the pre-loader finishes off.
I moved the 'start game' code from the constructor into a different function but I'm now left with the issue of how can I actually tell the main game SWF to start?
You can't do loader.content.go() (where go() is the function I want to call).
How can I access methods of a loaded SWF? Or is there another way? I tried dispatching a custom Event from the pre-loader, but the game SWF just never heard it - but is this the right way to go about things?
I really want to pass some bits of data from the pre-loader into the main game SWF too, but until I can figure out how to make them both talk I'm totally stuck! Is there a way the game SWF could reference any variables set by the preloader?

I have an object in the library that is linked with class Myclass, I define MyClass in its own AS file and everything runs ok, but as soon as I remove the linkage of the object with the class the compiler generates an error with a seemingly totally different class, that class is part of an open source data structure library for AS3, unrelated to that library object or class MyClass.
The error code is 1044: Interface method ****** in namespace ******* not implemented by class ********.And of course I checked and the class implements the interface methods, all of them so there should be no errors.The library I'm using is a [URL] and the class reporting errors is HashMap and HashTable.

The problem is that there are some methods I want to use, and because I don't like copying/pasting code, i decided to define in classes. Here is an example:

Is there a way in AS 3 to list all classes and their associated methods? Or at least a way to list the methods within a particular class?
It seems that it's all so overwhelming and although I'm well versed in Lingo and have a handle on the Lingo dictionary,I feel as though the AS 3 library is dauntingly big.

I'm recording and playing back mic input using Flash Media Server, and even though it's just audio, we're saving the output as FLV. I'd like to get a waveform of the recorded audio. Ideally, since we already have a lot of saved/recorded audio, I'd like something that can take a loaded FLV and get the waveform, as opposed to generating it at record or playback time.
AS3 has the new Sound.extract() method that can be used for this (plenty of online tutorials), but it seems like it only works for MP3. Is there a way to use this method on FLV audio? Or is there another to extract a waveform from a FLV?

How do I get the list of all methods from an object? I know I can get the object class in this way:
var className:String = flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName( myObject );
var objClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName( className ) as Class;
In JavaScript I can iterate over the prototype of an object to get its properties and methods. Is that possible in ActionScript 3? Do you any good source for metaprogramming/reflection over ActionScript 3?
