Actionscript 3 :: Address Objects That Aren't On Frame 1?
Mar 1, 2010
I have an object (button) on frame 2 of my timeline, with the name btnMenu. When clicked, i want to return to frame 1 in the timeline. Actionscript 3 does not allow me to bind the eventlistener to the button from my code on frame 1.Layout:layer 1: Actions, only on frame 1layer 2: btnMenu, only on frame 2 (with an empty frame in front)Code:
stop(); // don't automatically go to frame 2
btnMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() { gotoAndStop(1); }
(and other code to go to frame 2 obviously)The error i get is "can't find method/property of object that is null" (roughly translated).

I have an issue in flex which is causing a bit of a headache!
I am adding objects to an ArrayCollection but in doing so, another ArrayCollection is also picking up these changes even though there is no binding occurring.
I can see from the debug that the two ACs have the same address but for the life of me can't figure out why.
I have two Array Collections:
model.index.rows //The main array collection
model.index.holdRows //The array collection that imitates the above
This phantom data binding occurs only for the first iteration in the loop and for all others it will just write it the once.
The reason this is proving troublesome is that it creates duplicate entries in my datagrid.
public override function handleMessage(message:IMessage):void
{
super.handleMessage(message);

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.

I'm working on a mock project (no real client involved) and just sent the site out to some friends to view and give feedback. All of them saw what I was seeing and said it looked great. One person however, said the site looked like it was loading in weird. He sent me a video of what he was looking at. It seems like the contents of my 3rd frame are already loaded in at frame one and the ones that load in dynamically in frame 3 never come in at all. Lots of things going wrong here. Below is a link to the live site and a link to a zip file containing all working files. Inside the zip is also a couple of video files, one is a video of what the site should look like (Vid1.mov) and the other is a video of what my friend was seeing (Vid2.mov).

I have a flash file, which is a header for a website. I inherited it from my company's previous webmaster. I was looking through the library items & see alot of images & graphics that I don't see in the finished product on the webpage. The guy worked really sloppy so it's possible there's alot of unused items. Is there anyway to easily tell which items are not used in the final exported flash file so I can clean it up?

I've designed the background of a clients website so that images shift right and down and fade out but i'm noticing a problem involving the image animations. When the images are moving across the screen, they ripple, or pixelate and it looks really odd, can someone help understand how to fix this.

I'm new to the forums here and new to AS3 (I have some AS2 experience, and lots of general programming experience).nd I've made a few tweaks, including most significantly, fading out and killing particles after a certain amount of time. But I have a problem: I can't figure out why some of my particles live longer than they should.In more detail:In particles.as, for each dust particle that gets generated, the fadeOut function should get called after half a second, and when that tween is done, the killParticle function should get called. This seems to work for most particles but every now and then a few particles will stick around (i.e. the fadeOut function won't get called)Watch the animation: linkOh, and I'd love to know if there's anything I can do to increase performance as well. This is pretty cpu-heavy right now.All my .fla file does is include particles.as. See code below.particles.as
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

It seems that my 4 buttons aren't linking correctly or something.I'm linking with labels, like this:
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("intro");
}
The links go like this: Home, Photos, About Us, Contact Us.Here's what's wrong:
1.) If I click on About Us from the homepage, it goes to Photos instead.
2.) If I click on Photos while I'm on the Photos page, it goes to some unknown frame before the photos label, and stops where I don't even have a stop placed.

I made a drop down menu following the tutorial here. My problem is that the drop down buttons don't link to the respective scenes. Their rollover states work.
When I work on the drop down menu movie clip directly from the library, the button links work.[code]...

I'm trying to compile an SWC file and everything works great until the part where it needs to add components, none of them added added to the .swc file at all.
The original file should be somewhere around 211 KB and when i compile it its only 1.64 KB, after unpacking the .swc and then the .swf inside it i can see that there is no components added at all.
BTW some components showing some errors but i dont think its a reason to not include ALL the components because the errors are like:
Description Resource Path Location Type
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace. XXX.as /XXX/[source path] src/com/XXX line 1469 Flex Problem
What could the problem be? ask me if you need some future info cause i don't really know what to include in here cause there is no code it's only a project with a library.

I'm using Flash Pro 8 and I'm attempting to incorporate events into some of my classes and I'm having nothing but problems. After looking at lots of examples, this all seems okay, but doesn't work. First is the class code and secondly is the code on the timeline.
ActionScript Code:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class iaicu.mycampus.ClassSchedule {[code].....
Keep in mind that these classes are more elaborate, so events are intended to be more useful.

On the stage there is 20 pixels before the thumbnails are supposed to be layed out, so I have tried to accommodate this. So the objects I want to create are the thumbnails.

I've finished a game and now I'm in the process of installing the mochiads preloader. The problem is that all of my exported assets load before the preloader.So I searched around learned that there are a few things that I must do:-Turn off "export on first frame"-Set classes to export on frame 3-Put all of my exported assets in a movieclip on frame 2Now this does shift everything to load on frame 2, except the problem is that all of these assets are now absent from my game for some reason. I get no errors or anything

Last night I was working on my flash file and I must have changed some setting that has caused all of my buttons, movie clips and graphics to disappear from my Flash CS4 stage. Instead, it shows each instance's actionscript registration on the screen with a small circle. The instances are still there and show up when exported, but I can't see them while I'm editing the file. The static text and basic grapics are fine. Does anyone have an idea what setting might be causing this? I've tried multiple .fla files and had the same problem with all of them.

I have made a very simple swf in which I have a MovieClip which I have rotated on the stage. When I try to access this rotationX and rotationY properties of this clip using the constructor of the class assigned to this MovieClip they are coming back as 0 even though they shouldn't be. If I put an on rollover event of the MovieClip and trace out these properties here I get the correct values.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
I also get the correct values when I read the values from the stage timeline.
trace ("TEST "+testMC.rotationX+" "+testMC.rotationY); //returns correct value
Is there a specific event I need to be waiting for which will tell me when the 3d properties are available via ActionScript?
