Actionscript 3 :: Perform An Asynchronous Action Within An Accessor?
Jan 12, 2012
I have a simple accessor in my class:
public function get loggedIn():Boolean
{
var loggedIn:Boolean = somePrivateMethodToCheckStatus();
return loggedIn;
}
The API I'm now working with checks login status in an asynchronous fashion:
API_Class.addEventListener(API_Class.LOGIN_STATUS,onStatusCheck);
API_Class.checkLoginStatus();
[Code]....
Is there a way I can perform this asynchronous request without exiting my accessor?

I want to perform an action if a function is being used. If that function is being used then I will use another function, something like:
if(a.add){
a.mult;
}
That's what I want to do, but I don't know how to. The other thing is that when I use if , else if, with a text input as a parameter, I can't view the action of the if statement in a dynamic text field, even though I did write m.text=b, where b=a.suma.

I have a movieclip with about 50 other movieclips inside it and I want to set all their visibility to false (I can't do this to the parent because I will need to eventually just show one of the movieclips at a time). Is there any type of method I can use to apply, something like mymc.allchildmcs.visibility = false or mymc.mychildmc[i].visibility = false;

Is there a way to add an EventListener to a button and make it execute some action when it is clicked without calling a function?
In other words if I have three different buttons and I want to make an action depending on what button was clicked, something like.
If button 1 is clicked do this, if button 2 is clicked do this, if button 3 do this.
I know a different action can be taken using an eventListener and a function assigned to each button but I'm trying to understand more about AS3.

I need to evaluate long list of variables and I want actionscript to perform an action if my variable fits into certain range.I tried like this
if(_global.something == "var1" || "var2" || "var3" || "var4" || "var5" || "var6")
but it doesnt work, the usage of || needs only 2 variables...
I dont want to write my script like
if(_global.something== "var1"){
samefunction();[code].....
how can I write my script efficiently in this case?

im trying to make a game that requires you to have the spacebar and the right arrow key pressed to make the character move. However i just cant seem to link the 2 key presses together. when the keys are pressed individually it works and when theyre pressed together it works but i want the character to be inactive until both are down at the same time :/
i've tried everything that i can think of (which is kinda limited) i thought id cracked it with a 'while' statement but when i tested it flash would throw a fit and close heres the code that flash doesnt like, it looks (to me) like it should work but it clearly doesnt :P
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
}

I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,

I have a chat program built using flash for the front end tied to a J2EE back end. My program creates socket connections which must be closed appropriately when a user signs off.
When a user decides to sign off they can click the sign off button and everything is peachy. However, a less responsible user may choose to sign off by simply killing the browser window. Is there any way to implicitly call an actionscript routine on this event?

I have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?

var myXML:XML = <root>
<first>
<a title = "First Letter">
[Code]...
i would like to traverse the above XML searching only for an attribute. i don't know about <first> or its children (<a> and <b>), or even which level the element containing the attribute (the XML can be much deeper than my example).
it seems that the descendent accessor does not work with finding elements based on their attribute. for example, i want to traverse the XML and find the element with the attribute "Second Letter".
trace(myXML..(@title == "Second Letter"));
is it not possible to traverse an XML from the root and locate an element by an attribute?

As my first Flash project of any consequence, I've created a simple banner animation that (basically) loops over a few different images, panning and fading in/out by setting the x,y coordinates, setChildIndex, and alpha. This was easy enough to code with an ENTER_FRAME event handler and a few state variables.Here are the most relevant snippets:
// Main
// XXX - Putting addEventListener() first would
// make some sense, but I would still have

I have a piece of code in my game which looks a lot like this: MultiplayerAPI.createGameRoom(function(){ successFunction(new Object()); }); Basically, the createGameRoom is performed and, upon success, the function I passed is run. However I've been running into some strange bugs recently and I'm wondering, is the instance of "new Object();" the same each time the callback function is run? It needs to be a different, fresh instance of Object each time, but I'm having some garbage collection issues which make me think it's passing the same object each time that event callback is fired,

Is there a way to have a synchronous call to a URL to retrieve the HTML code? If not, is it possible to turn an asynchronous call into a synchronous one using some trick? I can't believe Adobe wouldn't implement this option. I tried looping until the result is back but then the status function never fires making my loop infinite.

I'm a ColdFusion developer and recently started working on a project in Flex. I am getting more and more frustrated with AS and Flex lately. It seems that whatever I'm trying to do is either really hard or impossible while it usually can be done with one line of code in ColdFusion. I'm still learning these languages and I'm sure my lack of knowledge is the reason but for some reason I can't get ahead with my project. It looks like the learning curve is much steeper than it should be.

Anyways, here's my code for testing this functionality. The main application file looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
[code]....
This works OK except the function returns false before the HTTP call returns its result. If I un-comment the while loop the onStatus function will never be called and therefore end up with an infinite loop. Not sure why this happens.

If I have one parent class that instantiates 5-10 different child classes, each of which need to load multiple assets etc, how can I check within that parent class to make sure all of the 5-10 children are loaded & ready to go before telling the program to continue?
The tricky part is that the exact number of those 5-10 classes that are instantiated is determined at runtime, so I can never be certain which I should be waiting on and which not to be waiting on. And just to be clear, these are different modules of sorts, not multiple instances of the same exact class.

I'm currently able to record audio and video (from a webcam) to a Flash Media Server. However, in some cases users have a webcam with no builtin
microphone. In that case the flash client uses the default microphone with 'Microphone.getMicrophone();' and possibly selects the micrphone of the PC.
A delay between audio and video is caused in cases with a separated webcam and microphone. There isn't a lot of delay on an internal network (e.g. LAN) however, there is a very large delay between audio and video on an external network (e.g. WAN).

I have created a client with Flex Builder which works in a browser but also in an Air windowed application. I must connect it to a server and it has to do asynchronous request related to changing data of the server.Because of the too much expensive cost of LiveCycleDS license, I was looking for other ways, maybe open source and i found the following solutions:
Adobe BlazeDS
Granite Data Services
WebORB Community Edition
I want to ask you which is the easy way to create the solution described above, expecially i want to use J2EE application server type.

I'm developing a Flex application and am having some trouble working with asynchronous calls. This is what I would like to be able do:
[Bindable] var fooTypes : ArrayCollection();
for each (var fooType : FooType in getFooTypes()) {
fooType.fooCount = getFooCountForType(fooType);[code]....
The issue I'm running into is that both getFooTypes and getFooCountForType are asynchronous calls to a web service. I understand how to populate fooTypes by setting a Responder and using ResultEvent, but how can I call another service using the result?
