Actionscript 3 :: Keyframe In Flash Fail To Update An Object's Position?
Apr 3, 2012
I have a background MovieClip in a custom button class, which moves the play head to a different frame (via gotoAndStop("framename")) depending on which mouse events it receives.
When the mouse up event is received, it sends the play head back to the "release" frame, where the background should shift back to its original location, but instead nothing happens and the background remains where it was.It's as though Flash is not honoring the background's position defined by the key frame it enters.
The only workaround is to add a frame script to each frame which manually sets the x and y position to what it should be, but this defeats the purpose of using keyframes for the position.

It seems seek() on mp4 file seeks to the closest keyframe (seekpoint). Is it possible to seek to exact position in between of keyframes?

What i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.

I've made an empty AS 3 .flv document that has one keyframe on position 1 with this action:
on(load)
{
var req:LoadVars = new LoadVars();[code]....
I'm receiving numerous errors such as the on(load) is invalid. I'm trying to run the code in the beginning of the movie.

How would you randomly move the mouse 1px while my FLVPlayback is running and stop moving the mouse when the movie ends?I was thinking of using an eventListener that while playing the flv runs a funtion that updates the mouse x and y randomly. But when the move Completes it removes the moveNouse listener.
my_flv.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, removeMouseMove);
my_flv.addEventListener(Event.PLAYHEADUPDATE, moveMouse);
function moveMouse(){

I have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

I"m a bit confused because FlexUnith 4's behavior. When I use fail() in try-catch body fail method is just ignored.
[Code]....
I suppose this one should fail as there is no way around it, but it succeeds and turns green. Whatam I doing wrong? When i put fail() before try-catch block it fails as it is suposed to. BTW using Flash builder 4.

I have a custom <mx:DataGrid /> that is updated with data from a ColdFusion server every 60 seconds. I've noticed that every time the DataGrid updates and redraws the scroll position is reset to the top.
Is there a way I can preserve the scroll position for my DataGrid?

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?

I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?

After unexplainable problems with external class files, I'm trying another way of doing what I need to do: an Object variable declared in the fla file. Well, this has its own set of problems. The big picture is: I need to get user data and populate fields in their profile when they sign on. Then save changes to their profile during the session, add new users and make changes to their profiles. Pretty normal stuff.
Here's the problem I'm having with the object.
Frame 1 Script:
/* Define the object to use as an associative array.*/
var Person:Object = new Object();// Define a series of properties.Person.HomName = "Joe";Person.HomEmail = "joe@gmail.com";
Then go to a new keyframe, where I have my fields that need to be populated
Script:
EnterName.text = Person.HomName;EnterEmail.text = Person.HomEmail;stop();
When I compile, I get this error twice (once for each field) "The property being referenced does not have the static attribute."
What does the mean and how do I fix it?
Here is a link to the source file if you care to look.

The only way I've been able to get variable data from one script to another is through a _global.variable. Is this the only way? No arrays or objects vars?
Thanks in advance for all who assist. Some day soon I hope to be able to return the favor!

i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not

I came across a problem where my flash timer keeps changing position as the browser window is resized or if the user scrolls down the page the timer will move with it?It also changes position on different monitor screens.Is there an easy way without too much code to position it at a certain position on my page :[URL]As you can see its too low and should be in line with 'Comming soon'Im also using Dreamweaver if that makes a difference.

Is it possible to draw a Bitmap to a Graphics-Object like
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData, matrix, false);
this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, w, h);
this.graphics.endFill();
with an offset?
A simple moveTo(x, y) call before beginBitmapFill does not work :/ Neither does changing the x and y value of drawRect... (That just seems to have the same effect as an translation with the matrix...) Additionally I don't want do draw that thing in a separate Graphics-Object and add that one into the other...

Been working on this for almost 2 weeks and I am completely stuck. I've got a main dynamic movie clip that pulls in images from an xml file. It's x position moves depending on the mouse position. Obviously its width is dependent on how many images are pulled in.
I have an indicator movie clip that runs along a 600 pixel line in the opposite direction to the main clip that gives an indication of how long the main clip is.
I know the length of the indicator's line so its x position needs to be updated in relation to the x position of the main clip. 1% of indicator's maximum movement in 6 pixels so it needs to move 6 pixels in relation to 1% of main movie clips maximum distance.

I'm trying to trace the path of an object by using setPixel on the object's position every frame in a BitmapData/Bitmap pairing. These pixels aren't showing up normally and I suspect I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the BitmapData class. Here's what I'm doing:
public var contrailBase:BitmapData;
public var contrail:Bitmap;
private var contrailColor:uint;[code].....
Using this code, the red pixels don't show up. If I initialize contrailBase to 0xFF000000 instead then I get a black screen on which the red pixels DO draw, but I need the bitmap to be transparent except for the contrail. What am I doing wrong?

If you have a very large project Flash CS5 fails to compile it. The same error used to occur in CS4 until the 10.0.2 patch was released. Is this going to be fixed in Flash CS5? Currently Flash CS5 is completely useless to us because of this problem.

I have a couple of buttons in my flash application that call two different javascript functions. They work in all browsers except IE9 (I haven't tried earlier IEs). My code to call the function is something like this:
ExternalInterface.call(
"myLovelyFunction",
string1, string2);
[Code]....
In IE9, the function does absolutely nothing, but the console complains with:
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'SetReturnValue'
index.php, line 1 character 1
line 1, character 1 is obviously pointing at nothing in particular.
I can make it work fine by switching on compatability view, although the console error doesn't go away.
Is there anything about IE9 that causes this, and more importantly, how do I fix this?

regarding DOM object name/id updates by JavaScript, and accessing them from flash. Let me explain.
I have made an actionscript that tests if externalinterface.objectid is null. If it is, I call a JavaScript that gives names/id to all unnamed shockwawe-type <EMBED> and <OBJECT> tags.
My problem is that, although the Javascript does what it is supposed to, the SWF's ExternalInterface.objectID property remains null.
In other words, although the DOM is properly updated, that update is not propagated to the ExternalInterface object.
- Is this normal ?
- Can I "reconsctruct" the ExternalInterface object to have it updated too ?
- Could I have my SWF reload itself, and how?
- More generally, what should I be doing to be able to access the newly JS-modified id from my SWF movie ?

I'm making simple 3D transformations in Flash to rotate stuff, but I get distortions. I can rotation left, right, up, down, but not diagonally since it completely distorts my faces (the ones I draw).I think I fail to move the camera somehow, but I'm not experienced enough to understand my error.Here's the file: http:[url]....
Example: when a face is rotated at about 45° around the y axis (vertical to screen) and then rotated around the x axis the perspective doesn't feel right... the faces are too narrow.What I do is multiply the rotation matrices between themselves (the mouse position providing the angles) get the transformed points, project them to screen and draw boxes with them.
