Actionscript 3 :: Flash - How Exactly Are The Codes In Frame Scripts Organized Into A Class
Mar 9, 2012Or maybe I should ask "how the MainTimeline class is composed"?How exactly are the codes in frame scripts organized into a class?

View 3 RepliesI've been asked to make a simple game and have very basic flash knowledge, I was approaching it as an "interactive comic" kind of way to make things easier for myself. However it's become very cluttered and I'm trying to figure out how to link scenes to keep things a little more organized so I don't make things harder than they need to be. I've looked online and followed the instructions to a tee, however when I try to impliment them into the game, nothing happens, no error code, just nothing happens. The .fla is too big to attach, so I've attached a brand new .fla using the same codes.
I've tried the following codes:
on(release){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
}
That didn't seem to work, so I tried naming the scene as you'll see and tried that, still nothing, I'm sure I'm missing something really simple but having very minor flash knowledge I can't see what that is.
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?
View 1 RepliesI've searched for the past hour before even posting, so please dont yell at me What I'm looking for is a post somewhere on kirupa recently that demonstrated an organization of information that could then be sorted by the different categories they had. But the quality that sticks out to me about this specific example is that when you clicked the way to list the categories by, the information would move (with easing) into its new position according to how it was being sorted.
View 5 Repliessomeone could offer me some direction with the execution of this for loop.here is the basic premise...
Code:
function DisableTMBS (){
for(i=1; i<20; i++){
var TMBSOff="_root.mc_tmbsPanel.mc_TMBS.mc_tmb"+i[code]....
i need to disable a string of thumbnails which are organized in a scorllable panel... but i need them to remain visible.When i trace "TMBSOff", i get appropriate values... _root.mc_tmbsPanel. mc_TMBS.mc_tmb1... and so on and so on... but turning those movie clips off through that variable does not work.
I have to connect my flash application with php+mysql .how can i integrate my php code into flash..?
View 1 RepliesI'm making a Flash piece consisting of a few different pages and clicks to take you to different chapters. The company I'm making it for have sent me URL's of pages that will track the person on it - what page they're on, what chapters they view etc.
So, where do I put these url's?If I put them in a getURL won't that just redirect the person away from the page with the SWF in it?
I made a simple game and a simple scoring system. Player writes his/her name first then plays the game and gets the score. Score and name are variables and writes on the screen at the end of the game.The problem is ; i have to keep names and scores for every player who plays the game. I can save it with php or mysql but i have to do it offline ! The game will be played on computers without internet connection.I googled about my problem and get some answers about sharedObjects but all the samples i've found are so complex.
1. Is there any possible way to run php codes embedding in flash application ? ( maybe in a third party software ? ) or is there any "simple" way to save scores and names ?
2. I'm sending my php codes i'm using to write and read in flash. Is there a actionscript version of these codes ?
3. I'm using DataGrid for displaying scores and a php file as data source. Is there a way to use a txt file for data source ??
The thing is that once uploaded in DART, my ad is not transparent so we always see the white screen where the ad expands.I know this problem is normally solved with wmode=transparent but the thing is that the person can't have an html code to put the wmode code.I wonder how I can set my flash banner to be transparent without html codes..Using Flash CS4 with ACS2! Here's the fla file : http:[url]......
View 2 RepliesI have a static, UTF-8 encoded XML document that gets loaded by a custom movie clip class into an array and then items from the array are read and displayed in a dynamic text field that is attached to the movie clip,depending on which one is rolled over.Everything works perfectly except that an ampersand displays as & apostrophes display as ' and quotes display as ", even if I use the special character inside the XML.Higher level character codes actually display properly, so character codes for circle shaped bullets,registered trade mark symbol, Greek characters, etc, work! But a blessed ampersand does not.Setting the dynamic text field to either read as HTML or not read as HTML makes no difference.
Using CDATA tags in the XML makes no difference.In fact,when I use CDATA tags and enclose text containing a special character code, Flash goes the extra step of converting the ampersand in the special character code to &!! So" becomes "Using & just gets converted to &.So Flash's XML parser is parsing the & to an ampersand,which Flash's text parser then converts to &. WHY? And how do I stop it?
I found the function below to clean out the unwanted characters,and it works,but it seems a ridulous length to go to.And I probably have to extend it to accomodate whatever other characters don't work in Flash, but I don't know what those might be until I encounter them. Also,the function works whether I use a special character in the XML or not. ie, if I put an actual "&" into the XML, this function will display "&" and if I put & into the XML,it will still display as "&".
In AS2 you had the functions ord() and chr() which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.
However in AS3, String.charCodeAt() and String.fromCharCode() work with Unicode values.
Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?
I am trying to convert the longer code i have below into shorter codes, the codes that i have is for Actionscript 2, while i am using as2 debugger, trace(), its getting the loop, however it will not recognize that is a movieclip (button1 - button3 are 3 different movie clips that i assigned).

I have a problem regarding text appearence on screen. I have few TFL dynamic text fields in CS5.5 that update each time according to users choises (a dictionary, in hebrew if it matters). As a text field I can't break lines or organize the text in paragraphs or any other way, the corrent situation is a text block that is not pleasent to read, it's need to be organized (it's for children so it has to be as clear as possible).

I would like to store the value from combobox or text area-MovieClip in MyClass and then I'd like to read this from another frame in *.fla file only this :) have you another code? what can I write in frame 2 Miclass and frame 3
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash Professional cs5/AS3 I'll try and describe this the best I can. I'm new to ActionScript. So, in my timeline I have a var on a frame that represents "lives" and i have some code in the timeline that takes down the number of lives depending on certain events, which all works great.
so, now i wanted to make a constructor class that I could reuse for a bunch of movie clip objects and I only want these objects to be able to move if the lives variable is greater than certain number. So now, building my constructor class for these objects i just wanted put an if statement that is looking to see if the lives are greater than a certain number, which if it is then should make these objects do what i want...But, when i run the project I get "1120: Access of undefined property lives."
lives is the var I made obviously like I said, and it works fine being referenced everyone else except when I make a new .as file for these objects then try and reference it. I get the same error when I try and establish "lives" in the main project class too. I'm not sure where I should put this var or how I can make it so i can reference it from an object class. I'm not really sure how to word or describe my issue which has made it hard to search for a tutorial.
I copied my actions from frame 3 to frame 4 and frame 4's class doesn't work when frame 3's class works fine and normal, here is the source code:

for (var i:int=0; i<rowNum; i++)[code]....
I have 2 flash files, one with an intro and the second that just has a document class file that plays out a snake game. How could i import that document flash file and make it play out on like frame 100 off my other flash file.

We are trying to build a game in flash with AS3 (Im no pro with this)I've got 7 Movieclips and 7 Buttons.none of the 7 Movieclips should be on stage, they only appear when you've clicked 3 of the 7 buttons. once these 3 are clicked 1 of the 7 Movieclips should appear.Now I've got the code to make 3 selections and make it show 1 movieclip.and I've gotten the code to make a random movieclip appear.My question: How do I combine these two to make them do what's supposed to for the game.[code]

View 4 RepliesWhen I am loading external UTF-8 text files (or texts from an mySQL DB) with Flash, if those files contains enters (by the user that create them) I noticed that those enters are replaced by two char codes: 10 and 13 (new line feed + carriage return). If I put the loaded string to a TextField.htmlText I get 2 enters pressed, and thus instead of having 1 line change I got 1 paragraph change.

Can I really do that with the phone? Perhaps I would have to call any of the native API's, but I am not really sure whether and what is possible. I am pretty sure that the camera is accessible, so at the worst case I could send the picture to the server, decode the QR code on the server, and get the results on the phone, right ?
View 1 RepliesI use flash MX 2004, and I've been facing a problem. I made this flash program to load a jpeg, and to resize and display it.. But the problem is, it works, but not in a stream I mean My program work in 4 phases::
1. Load the jpeg
2. Check and compare the image's height and width with the given parameters
3. resize the image... 3.1.. First height... 3.2.. Then width
4. Display the resized image
The problem I am having is, it does phase 1, then does nothing... I experimented with it a bit, and then i found... Let it do the phase 1, then goto another frame, then back to previous frame... It does step 2.. Do same thing again for other phases... Its sort of like I am refreshing my frame again and again to make my code work in bits and pieces.
ave some lines of code that i would like to shorten.
View 5 RepliesI am working on a Flex project that is interfacing with physical hardware.Using the AS3 command of socket.send I can set a particular feature on the physical hardware.The problem I am having is I need access to send from the Extended ASCII codes.[code]This would be translated to me sending two numbers to the hardware.7F and 07. The Dec equivalent of these Hex codes are 127 and 7.The hardware takes these two numbers and calculates a length along with a third integer.[code]
Unfortunately the Hex 88 is in the extended ASCII table.The highest the regular goes up to is 7f which is a Dex of 127.I need the ability to send full 0 to 255 numbers in ASCII form.I can't send from 128-255 without using the codes from the ASCII extended table.I get an error every time I try to send something form the extended ASCII table back from the hardware.Can anyone confirm that AS3 does not support the Extended ASCII codes?
I have some basic as3 knowledge and I have built 2 apps. in as3 but I want to use them for mobile systems as I guess for symbians.Which program should I use. I searched here flash lite but there is no forum about it. Ä°s there any other forum to help me learn flash mobile appliĆcations
View 2 RepliesI am brand new to Flash and I am completely unsure on how to diagnose and resolve the problems I am having.I am in an online program through the Art Institute and I am currently taking a course to learn the basics of Flash.I am running Flash from CS4 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 and I am having problems opening some of the .fla files that people post. One of two things happens, either:
(1) when I try to open the .fla file I get an pop-up alert (below) and if I click OK the file doesn't open (and clicking OK is my only option, as you see);
(2) I go to open the .fla file and it appears to be opening but then the screen is blank and I get two error reports in the Output pane which says:"VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of isRelatedObjectInaccessible in .RemappedMouseEvent.ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable_ e9a7 52f233536079fc4486d6ac92a1b05a633a5657d5b83ad7fac2246298 b191_flash_ display_ Sprite is not defined."I tried installing all available updates for Flash and that did not solve it. I also tried opening the same .fla files on my husbands MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 running CS4 and got the same problems.
can i recognise a movement on a joystick with ascii codes???
