Actionscript :: Weakly Referenced Object To Be Disappeared Immediately When Last Strong Reference Removed?
Oct 4, 2011
I read some articles about ActionScript's weak references. There are two types.
Trick with Dictionary class.
EventDispatcher class.
I expected weakly referenced object to be disappeared immediately when last strong reference removed.(regardless of GC behavior) But those tricks didn't work like that. The object referenced only weakly still live a while, and looks disappear when next GC time.Removing all of strong references didn't make weakly referenced object to be disappeared from object graph.(I know it'll not be deleted immediately)

I have a drag-and-drop event form in a flex project. I need to run a validator right after the item is dragged into the dataGrid. In it, I fire off a function through dragDrop="verifyEventUsers()". In the validator, I compare the contents of the two arrayCollections, but it appears to be running the checks prior to completion of the drop. For instance, if I drag an element into the dataGrid and trace eventUsers.length inside the validator, I get zero. When I drag the second element, it traces as one even though two lines now appear.
How can I set up a validation script that runs after the drag-drop action has finished?

Right now, I create the world class first, from my main timeline. This is placed as a display object, and it contains many other display objects, most notably the level Holder, which holds all foreground pieces.After creating the world class, I create the camera class from my main timeline, and pass it the instance of the world class as an argument. What I'm trying to do in the camera's code, is create DisplayObject variables for the levelholder (and several other children of world) and set it equal to world.lvlHolder, like so
Code:
public function Camera(input:DisplayObject)
{

Will a DisplayObject be garbage collected if the only reference keeping it in memory is set to null, but it's not removed from the display list?

I've got a bar. Its _xscale is increasing. It starts from 0, max is 100, of course. It's my script:
[Code]...
I added an object. This object appears in the middle of the stage and goes down by script:
[Code]...
And it works - the object, which has to be an enemy, appears and fall down perfectly. But when it appears my bar immediately stops increasing!

if i have a movie clip with an even listener attached to it, is the event listener being removed automatically when the movie clip is removed from the stage or should i always remove the event listeners manually?

I have two FLV files playing on the stage. The main FLV is instance is: MyVideothe 2nd is MyVideo2I have imported the videos using the wizard. The 2nd video is just a movie I created in Affter Effects that says...loading please wait....this is a really nice video and I don't want it to just use a standard preloader. Anyway, the goal is when the playback for "MyVideo" begins I would like "Myvideo2" to = visible = false;I have tried this many different ways and have been unsuccessful. I am obviously a newb at this. Also, does anyone know where I can get a list of all available eventListener actions...etc?
//var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
//connection_nc.connect();
//var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);

Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
function offNav(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (mouseX >= 0 && mouseY >= 0 && mouseX <= 36.45 && mouseY <= 325) {
TweenLite.to(navPanel,.5,{x:0});
TweenLite.to(home_btn,.5,{x:15.65});
TweenLite.to(work_btn,.5,{x:11.5});

The problem is with smallImg_mc. Later on when it is clicked, it gets removed using the removeChild(smallImg_mc) command, and my question is how do I signal it through an if statement where it says
if (smallImg_mc.visible !== false) {
setChildIndex(smallImg_mc,1);
setChildIndex(logo,1);
}
It's causing annoying output errors.

I have some MXML elements which i would like to remove and add to a parent element. Unfortunately I am constrained to removing the MXML object as this is handled by the custom component. So is there any way to reinstate a removed MXML element back into the display list?

I have six objects which are on the stage when my game loads up. I have stored them in an array in my Document class. Occassionaly I run through this array and check if something has hit these objects and remove them if so. i don't actually remove them from the array though. I'm finding though that even after these objects have been removed from the stage, the hittestpoint still returns true when something crosses the area where these objects once where?! Doesn't the object have to be there for hitTestPoint to return true?

I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?

I am exporting a RGB Illustration done in Photoshop with really strong colours. I export it for my website from the option save for web, (I also tried save as with all kind of formats) but the colors get really pale when I took it in Flash. I don't understand, the same image has really bright strong colors in Photoshop. I tried to play with the option from flash - color- advanced- alpha,but they just get darker or wierder.

I've been working on a flash file all day and have savedmultiple times. The last time I tried to save it kept giving me theerror "Unknown error occurred while accessing index.fla" which wasthe name of the file I was working on and had saved multiple timesthroughout the day.I tried changing the name, saving it in a different location,etc., same error. I figured if I closed and reopened it I wouldjust lose the changes made since the last save, which was about 20minutes prior. No big deal right?I closed flash without saving (since it wouldn't let me, keptgiving that error), and go to reopen the file from the folder saved it in all day and it is GONE!

A few hours ago I set up my embedded fonts and everything seemed to be working perfectly. On going back to the site just now all my text has disappeared off the website. If I comment out the embedFonts= true line I get them back (but unformatted of course) so it has to do with the embedded fonts. I tried embedding new fonts but to no avail. I created a new test document and typed the following code and created an embedded font called myTestVerdana and it worked. I copied the code to the first frame of my website and created an new embeded font called the same and it didn't work!!! Again commenting out the embedFonts=true line gave me the text but unformatted.
darkGrey = String("0x" + "333333");
var myTextFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat1.size = 26;
myTextFormat1.font = "myTestVerdana"

I had CS5 v11.0.0.xxx. I had the problem. I have just upgraded to CS5 v11.0.2.489. I have the same problem. I imported a series of images in CS5 v11.0.0.xxx to the stage. I saved the file and reopened it.The images were gone in the stage. They were corrupted in library as well.
I imported the same images in Flash 8. I saved the file and reopend it in Flash 8 without a problem. I reopened the file in CS5 v11.0.0 and CSv11.0.2 without a problem. I saved the file to CS4 format and reopened the new CS4 file in CS5 without a problem. I saved the file to CS5 format (both compressed and uncompressed) and reopened the new CS5 files. The problem is still there.
You can download the Flash 8 version of the file here in my dropbox.[URL]...

I have a website that had a flv file embedded on the home page. All of a sudden the flv does not appear on the page. It shows in the source file, and appears in the dreamweaver page that I use, but does not appear on the site anymore. I have the most current flash player so that does not seem to be the issue. I have tried it on both pc and mac and the video no longer loads. [URL].
The file shows that it is on the server and in the proper location. Here are screenshots from the web page and from Dreamweaver.
