I chose new actionscript file(3.0) and wrote as simple as trace("Hello World");, but it is not working. I have flash player 10 and i also made sure i have not checked omit trace statements in publish settings.
View 1 RepliesThis has never happened before. One of my .fla's suddenly won't trace at all. Anywhere I put a trace statement, it does not work. On the main timeline, in an MC, in a function... nothing!
Is there an option that I could have accidentally turned off or on?
In the meantime I'm debugging with dynamic text.
i'm trying to use actionscript 3.0 and using trace(), it never outputs content of trace of variable either in flash player or in output area? how to coorect or should i enable something?
View 3 RepliesIn have searched the forums and can't find the appropiate answer. I do not have the "omit traces" option checked in publish settings (I use flash CS5). Here is my code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
The creation of a movieclip works fine, but the trace doesn't. This is the main class.
if trying to debug in Flash, and for some reason some of my trace statements don't work. I believe this only happens when they're in event listeners, but it is very annoying. I am using CS5 and coding in Flash Builder 4.
View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with the if statement in my timer function, the trace statement within in it is not working, eventually I wanted to use this if statement further but need to make sure it is working first.
Code:
timerFunction();
} function call in function above
function timerFunction() {
trace("hey");//this trace works
var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,15);

I am new to actionscript and just like some of you, I would like to start off on the right foot. After several attempts to solve this problem I am now taking a break and reaching out to those in the community. I have created a .as file named Main.as and the code inside main.as is:[code]then i created a new fla file and named it testas. I then typed Main in the Document class under properties.The code has no errors and when I attempt to test the movie, there is no output to the output panel.
View 7 RepliesI am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace. anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track? here is the code for that function...

take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

i'm preparing to do a tile based game, but i'm going to probably have access to at least maybe 20 tiles so i wish to do my tile map like this
var myArray:Array = [[001,001,001,001],
[001,000,002,001],
[001,015,000,001]];
that's a rough example. but to develop a map editor i need to be able to string a number will 0s preceding anything that is less than 100. is there an API for this or would i have to go with something like
if (a < 10) {
string = "00"+a;
} else if (a < 100) {
string = "0"+a;
}

View 8 RepliesI just bought CS5 like a week ago. I'm finally getting around to using it for older content and now my trace output doesn't work for anything. The output window opens up, but nothing prints out. I'm also getting TweenMax errors in something I haven't touched in weeks.
View 7 RepliesIm using hitTestObect to detect collision.
if (movieclip1.hitTestObject(movieclip2) {
// do something
}
the above code detects whether movieclip1 hits movieclip2.... ok
if (hitTestObject(movieclip2) {
// do something
}
the above code detects whether 'Anything' has hit movieclip2.... ok
what i want is a way to use the second code but for example, trace the movieclip's name that hit movieclip2
there are above 50 possible movieclips that could have hit movieclip2
the only way i've thought of doing it is doing a loop using the first method (replace movieclip1 with movieclipArray[x])
but rather than doing a loop i would just like for it to trace the name of whatever hit movieclip2
I'm new to flash but I have over 15 years in software and 20 in IT.In everything I have worked with so far in Flash I've used trace( message ) to put a message in the output window. Then it just stopped.
View 4 RepliesI wonder if there is a function in ActionScript that can let me trace a bitmap file on the fly though scripting: something like myimg.TraceBitmap(), instead of having me to open a *.fla and work it there.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to trace some XML Data. I used a URLLoader and once load is complete, I try to trace back the XML Data. I can trace the entire file
trace(xmlData);
but if I try to trace a specific node, I get nothing in my trace
trace(xmlData.captions);
What could I be doing wrong? All tutorials I've seen make this seem so straight forward, but it's just not working for me?

protected var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I would like to trace the full hexdecimal value from a xml attribute color="0x000000". I don�t know if there is a special datatype for hexdecimal values so i declared it with color:uint;
If i try tracing it out i only get the first letter "0" instead of "0x000000"
Lets say I have variable x = 5.
How can I use trace to trace "x" by feeding it the variable x, as in not the value 5 but the variable name?Since I need to know what variables were passed in my functions for debugging.

I'm familiar with AS2 and just now beginning AS3. I have a main or root SWF that will call other SWFs. In the past I would put them on levels but now I know with AS3 that isn't so. I will only load one swf at a time. Each will replace the other. I'm using addChild and it seems to work.I really want the Stage SWF to check inside the added child SWF for a String. What is the correct syntax for that in AS3. I have done many attempts but nothing. The last trace I ran was:trace(MovieClip(clipLoader.content)); and that gave me [object MainTimeline]. FYI - The string is "BtnName".[code]
