ActionScript 3.0 :: ClearTimeout Not Working When BtnDown Function Called
Oct 1, 2009Why timeout is not clearing. I declare the timer outside of everything so it can be seen by everybody. After the mouse moves on the stage, the timeout is set. Then as soon as the mouse goes down on a movieclip, the btnDown function gets called which is supposed to clear the timeout. And when the mouse goes up, the timeout is supposed to be set again. The funny thing is the timeout does get cleared when the hideControls function is called, just not when the btnDown function is called. However, everything is working like it's supposed to in the btnDown function except the timer.
Code:
var controlsTimer:uint;
// BEGIN TWEEN
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, showControls);
function showControls(e:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween(controls_mc, controlsTweenIn);

View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Closure To Make TweenLite Example Work As Desired?
Nov 12, 2011I seem to recall something about pass-by-reference and the Greensock TweenLite class. It's the only thing I can think of that is causing this bit of code to be not working as I intend:
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
addItem();
}
public function addItem():MovieClip {
var item:MovieClip = getNewItem();
[Code]...
The trace is outputting the values I expect: an incremental sequence where each number is greater than the last (by the height of the item). However, what I see visually is that all the items end up at the same location (as if newPosY were the same for all instances of the tween.)
The only thing that comes to mind is that newPosY is being passed by reference, so each instance of the tween is actually referencing the very same value. Am I missing something? Or do I need some kind of closure to isolate the scope of my tween property's value?

View 4 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Removing A SetTimeout Function?
Nov 19, 2010tried to prepare this source so that it is organized and clear enough to figure out what I (an idiot when it comes to scripting/programming) have done so farI have a slideshow with a function ("wait();"), which uses setTimeout to move the main timeline to the next frame (via nextFrame) after 4seconds(4000ms) have passed. The only exception to this, is on the last frame (Frame 7), where the timeline is to move back to frame 2. This is done using a simple conditional statement.. and all is well so far. Pretty simple.
The problem lies in that I have a set of 6 buttons across the bottom - each corresponding to one of the 6 'slides' that I'm sliding through. Right now, the code on these buttons uses gotoAndPlay, and jumping around from frame to frame in this way screws up the timer.As you click the buttons, the timer is still ticking.. and you start to see multiple advances, I assume each click of the buttons starts a new 'clock'.. each forcing a "nextFrame" as soon as their done, despite the other timers going on.What I need - is for the buttons to send the timeline to the appropriate frame, and turn ALL timers off. That is - if a user clicks a button, they have indicated which slide they want to see - and I want to stop the slideshow entirely. As soon as a user clicks any button, the only way they will see the other 5 slides if they also click those buttons.So the slideshow is built as follows:Frame 1: a basic preloader, followed by this code:
Code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetTimeout Not Forwarding Function's Returned Variables?
Jan 5, 2007I am trying to write a function that calculates the estimated time remaining for the movie to load. I have a function written that gets that information and I run it again with a setTimeout for 1 second then take the difference... blah blah blah. My issue gets me before i can get that calculating goodness off the ground. The first time i run the function without the setTimeout it works correctly. When i use the setTimeout, it returns the boolean value "1" signifying that it ran and didn't fail. Somewhere in there it loses the value returned by the called function. Any thoughts? I'm sure this may not be the most efficient method for doing what I want, but it bugs me nonetheless why this isn't working.Here's my code:

Actionscript 3 :: ExternalInterface / NavigateToUrl Popups Blocked When Called From SetTimeout?
Sep 19, 2010The Symptoms: pop ups intermittently blocked/let through from external interface and navigateToURL combinations.The Problem: Flash (or the browser..not sure) wont let pop ups be triggered outside of a time range and/or an event duration.The Environment: I have an app that needs to send data via zendAMF, do some processing and be sent back to the flash player. On the response, if certain conditions are met true - then trigger a pop open window. The same code that gets blocked on response, works directly from a mouse event trigger.So i set up a basic situation: 6 buttons, calling 3 methods. 3 buttons would call the method directly (all open the window perfectly) the other three would get the value of a numeric stepper, and use setTimeout(openWinMethod, NumericStepper.value) to simulate a delayed call from the zendAMF response.
UPDATE : if i select the 'navigateToURL, no delay' button first, close that window, then try any of the other delay calls - they work. its like the browser accepts that you have clicked to open a window at some point and therefore are allowed to call from a delay then on. (firefox only)All three using the delay would be blocked (firefox and chrome) whereas all three directly would open.afari - as well documented, would only work on the 2 methods using navigateToURLf interest: the js function in the html wrapper would be called be external interface to open a window. Without a delay this worked. With a delay, the js function would be called (as verified by some alert statements) but a new window was never spawned./popup/

Flash :: Frame Animation Still Loops Every 2 Seconds, Using SetTimeout Or SetInterval?
Apr 17, 2011I'm using this var timer2 = setTimeout(checkValue2, 2000);
as a frame action in Frame 2, which then triggers checkValue2 which is a piece of function in Frame 1 where all the _global. variables are as well.
clearTimeout(timer2);
gotoAndStop(3); //goto lvl3 - throw
addStage3();
it'd then goto Frame 3, but, the problem is even after clearing, the frame animation still loops every 2 seconds, regardless whether i'm using setTimeout or setInterval. Do you might know of any other way where what I need is, after 2 seconds in Frame 2, it'd then move to Frame 3, which I don't want it to go anywhere yet.

With the code below, both MC's seem to slide in from the right at the same time and that's it.

What I've tried to do is to set the target_MC alpha to 0 and fade out the current mc. Then when the fadeOut has completed to setTimeOut. After this the mcs will swapDepths and the target_MC should fade up to alpha = 0I've attached the flash and xml files. The images were too large.
