-Firstly can some one please explain what is meant by Object and Function in a profiling environment.
-Secondly, why does the Object and Function count increase when I repeatedly set the text property of a textfield:[code]
I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

This animation is for a kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the wrong area. Everything works, except I can't make the bears stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for all 6 bears.
I am working on a game, and have some characters set with lil boxes that should show their names and stats. I set the boxes like this, and this works fine:
Code:
character.prototype.statsBox = function(depth,x,y,name,HP,MP){
this.depth = depth;
[code].....
timer = int(80-(getTimer()-/:starttime)/1000);
if (Number(timer) == 0) {
with (_root) {
gotoAndPlay(70);
}
timer = 0;
}
Above is my code on a frame in a movie clip. The movie clip contains a dynamic text box that counts down. The variable name and the name of the clip is timer. when the timer reaches 0 it is supposed to go frame 70 which says sorry you did not make it, instead it goes to the frame that says congratulations... What am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to convert an MXML component to an ActionScript Class. The component consists of a Form with a TextInput, TextArea, and two buttons - Save and Cancel, and a Validator for the TextInput, and other logic to handle events that occur. This component is currently extended by several other components. Now, in the MXML component binding the TextInput text property to a property in an Object was very easy:
<mx:TextInput text="{_itemToEdit.name}" />
But in ActionScript, I'm creating the TextInput and setting the text property before the Object is set, and the TextInput is not being updated:
public var itemToEdit:Object = {};
private var nameInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
public function MyClass() {
nameInput.text = itemToEdit.name;
}
How can I make sure that the TextInput text property is bound to the specified property in the Object?
Is it possible in Flash to set a hyperlink (in a textField), and then have that link run a function within Flash (not Javascript)?I know one can easily launch a URL via a text link, or even run a Javascript function, but what about a function in Flash?

I am a very fresh guy in flash, I have experince in Javascript , C++ and other programming languages. So I am very much interested in doing task with Action script and get results which are not possible by GUI.I want increase the height of Movie clip using action script, So I tried to increase .height property the height increased but It increased in both direction top & bottom) I want to keep it bottom fix. I tried ScaleY, too but no luck.Somehow we can adjust the bottom after resizing but it won;t give good effect when we are using tweening or other animation.

I'm using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have it connecting to a PHP service. The way I set this up was using the wizard, so I didn't actually write the code to connect to it.[code]...
One of the functions that I'm calling fetches users from a MySQL database. There are about 30,000 users right now. The service seems to timeout when fetching more than around 22,000 rows, I get the "Channel Disconnected before an acknowledgement was received" error. If I call the PHP script from a browser, it fetches them all with no problems at all, however. I have tried increasing the timeout in the PHP script (which didn't work), but obviously this isn't the problem since the browser is able to pull them up with no problems.
1. The are two buttons
2. If you click the first one a number is increaded by 1
3. If you click the second one the same number gets decreased by 1
4. For each there is an IF statement which starts a certain action
I can't figure out how to make this work. The following script returns only one number and thus starts only on action:
function ClipSelector(i:Number):Number {
i++;
return i;

How can I increase the _height property of a window without increase the height of the title and the bar at the top of the window ?
I want only to increase the part of the window where I put textFields and buttons.
I wrote a class for an object that as soon as it is created moves around the screen and can create another object (replicating itself). That seems to work fine for a while, but after like 20 or so objects on the screen things slow down a lot! I create the first object on frame one. The rest is all done by the objects themselves.
Would it be better if the objects did not move around on their own, but rather through a loop on frame one or does it not matter? I am working on a simulation that should go up to over 100 objects, but with this problem can't get there. The object is just a movie clip (imported png picture about 4 by 7 pixel, not animated). I was going to replace it with an animated one later, but that seems unlikely now.
If an asset (say an swf) is already loaded. Does it increase memory use to add and object to the display list?
View 4 RepliesI have a box that when rolled over, I want some text over to the left to increase. Say I have a dynamic text that says "computers". Now when you roll over that box, I want "computers" to increase to size 28. How would I do that?
on (rollOver){
_root.computers.textsize = 28;
}
it would be something like this, if only textsize was an option.
I'm stuck thinking about the best way to go about setting a line segment's position, I have a class Line(length, angle, previous) being called from a class Polygon. Right now I have:

if (previous != null) {
this.x = previous.end.x;

I have a Dynamic Text area called txt, I write the value 5000 by txt.text="5000"; In my scene there will be 2 buttons. When one of the buttons is pushed the value will decrease 250 by 250. For example; at first push it will decrease to 4750, at the second push it will decrease to 4500 and so on...And when it is pushed to the other button this value will increase 250 by 250.For example; the value will be:4500 by pushing twice to the decreasing button, then it'll be:4750 by pushing once to the increasing button.I tried with the below codes but it didn't work. The value decreases only once, it doesn't keep on decreasing when I pushed twice to the decreasing button.The value seems as 5000250.

I have a movie clip with a starting number of 3.75 and I was this number to increase to 6.00 and then stop. I know this should be pretty simple to do with a little actionscript.

txt1 = txt.text;
Decrease.onRelease = function() {
txt.text = txt1 - "250";
};
Increase.onRelease = function() {
txt.text = txt1 + "250";
};
And there is one thing too I wanna make if it is possible; I want to place the decreased value of txt dynamic text to valuetxt dynamic text. For example; when the value is done as 4500 by pushing twice to the decraesing button, the valuetxt area will be 500. When the increasing button is pushed once, txt value will be 4750 and valuetxt area will be 250.
i have one value in text box(eg:1200) once i drag the HSlider from left to right text box value to increase 1200+150 for each intrevel.if right to left has to decres 150 as same.
View 2 RepliesI need to implement a functionality where a user adds some text into a text field. Next if a user clicks on a button, then the font size increase/decrease so as to accomodate entire text in the available area. That means if a user has added just hello world in 12 px font and text field size is say 400*200 and user clicks on the button, the font size increases such that the text is occupied in the complete text field. Similarly if lot of content is added at a font size of 16 or so then clicking on the button reduces the font size to make it fit into the available text field area.

I need some help understanding for loop and timers and what I want to do is set the timer so it counts. Every 3 seconds add 1 to the count and then call a function. If the count reaches 3 then reset every thing and start over. But it isn't working the way I want it too.

var delay:uint = 3000;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(delay);

I understand the basics of reference counting but I am having trouble getting my head around one possibility. What happens while a class function/method is running - suppose the class instance removes the last reference to itself while executing - how does that get dealt with internally and is it dangerous? Perhaps while a class' function is running a temporary extra reference is held or else the garbage collector is otherwise not allowed to delete it.
e.g.
class Something
{
function DoSomething
