I've got a for loop running in a function. I want to break out of the entire function if a condition is met in the for loop, and obviously carry on within the function if not. I've read a little about using labels, but I'm new to actionscript and most of it's going completely over my head. Here's my code.
[Code]...
I would like to break a for-loop. It should be easy with "break;", but there is a slight complication to the code - the for-loop contains a function from within which I want to be able to break the loop. Here is a codesnippet:
[Code]...
So, somehow, I want to break the for-loop from within the onLoad-function. Is that possible with some other code (this ofcourse doesnt work)?
I set a function for
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
code;
}
but later I want this onEnterFrame to stop functioning to conserve on processor resources. setInterval isn't too good of an option from the way I have things set up, so right now I just set it to a new function with a trace action which overwrites the old one.Is there a command to simply just clear or break the function from executing?
I saw a post that touched on this, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own for explicit verification. It seemed that some of the resident geniuses here had given the thumbs-up to passing your whole doc or app class to a function. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as this sounds convenient but I assumed it would cause heart attacks and CPU meltdowns.
EXAMPLE: Say I have an app class that controls my entire game (or slideshow), and it has an ENTER_FRAME scrolling function that's 50 lines long with tons of conditionals so I want to take it out and make it an external file. I pop it into a new .as file but now all my variables are out of scope. I could pass them each individually, but there are so many it's impractical. So my question is: good or bad practice to pass the entire class?

I'm trying to break a movieclip into pixels and then move each pixel independently, but am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the code.
Right now I have a MC on the stage with an image in it. I'm able to go through each pixel, copy them one at a time then add a tween like this:
Code:
function copyPixels() {
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(300, 400, 1, 1);
var bytes:ByteArray = bmd1.getPixels(rect);
var bmd3:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1,1, true, 0xFF000000);
[Code]...
But that doesn't really give the effect I want. I want the whole image visible then have one pixel at a time fly off. How do I do this? Do I copy the entire image to a ByteArray then address each element in the array?

How can I break line in the XML in a specific part?
I want this
DE R$ 999,99 POR 666,66
To be this.
DE R$ 999,99
POR 666,66
XML:
<price>DE R$ 999,99 POR R$ 666,66</price>
AS:
price_txt.Text = priceID;
I can not put a line break in xml.
Is it possible to break (Ctrl + B) a created textfield with AS, and have the letter instances named somehow? I need this to write a text animation.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to take a string and break it into two parts. It's a url to a video on a RTMP server.So I've got to take this:
[URL] person17/1031617_person_generic_700kbps (note the removal of the ".flv" which is necessary as well).Right now I'm doing this, which seems overly complicated:
Code:

videoURL=videoURL.substr(0,videoURL.length-4); //remove ".flv"

i'm using this code i got on-line, the text is being outputted through a dynamic text box, which is multi line enabled and html. Yet I just can't seem to get a single line break, i can get a double by doing a normal line break in notepad. But i need a single. And <br> doesn't seem to work.

I have content with line break. When I break the text matter it shows following error. Is there any technique so that I could use line break content matter.

addChild(output);
outputText.text("Number of characters including
line breaks and spaces so far: ");

View 1 RepliesI have the following function but despite using the break statement, it doesn't seem to be stopping after it finds a match in the array:
[Code]....
EDIT2: Ok Both problems solved since I just found out how to randomize the array It took me three days to solve these problems lol At the third day I posted here but I got with the solutions by myself EDIT: lol ok Silly me.. I've just found out how to do that... Just adding a n in the answer texts solves this issue... I feel silly now =P ... However, I got another doubt, since I need to randomize the questions... Let's say I'd need 20 questions in total (with its respective answers). From those, I only need 10 to show... Ok, no problem here. The thing is, from those 20 possible questions, I need any 10 to appear randomly. I still can't found out how to randomize the items inside an array.

Here is a snippet of code that will be useful for breaking text apart into individual textFields for each line.
Code:
//create a textField to break apart
var breakTF:TextField = new TextField();
[code]....
Is there a way to break apart a character programatically? If there is no easy way (like cast Shape on TextField) could someone post the hard way of doing it?
View 3 RepliesWhy would we use a break in the last condition? Wouldn't it already get out of the condition at the last one possible? For example:
ActionScript Code:
var n:int = 3;
switch (n) {
[Code].....
I've seen numerous examples using a break in the last condition in several languages (namely AS, JS and PHP among the ones I remember) and always thought why, but couldn't find an answer. I don't see any difference between using it and not using it, although I might be missing something.
Using [URL] How do I create line breaks with the XML file? E.g.: I may have paragraphs or want to layout the text with gaps inbetween and the text startin on a new line of the Dynamic Text box.. I'm not sure if this is easy or not as I'm new to the XML side of Flash.
View 1 Repliesbrowsing [URL]... I would like to implement a version of this 3-D rotating menu with several changes. I would like to change the orientation to vertical and once one of the numbered instances has been triggered I would like the instance to revert to its inactive state. I am a novice to actionscript but in this case I find the code even more confusing. I cannot see an instance on the stage that would trigger the events and the math functions of actionscript is still very much a dark art to me.

We have a backend admin tool for entering text into a database, and Flash parses data returned to it from the database in XML formator lengthy pieces of text with line breaks, the XML can look like this (note the lines breaks in the XML):

View 2 RepliesWas wondering if there is a way to break up an image, or MC, into multiple MC's?
Imagine a picture of yourself. You want to break it up into 40 MC's like a puzzle, but don't want to goto photoshop or gimp to cut out 40 pieces. Is there a way to do it in code?
I know you can seperate a bitmap into seperate pieces, but what if I want to split up a whole animated movie clip? And have each piece still running its part of the animation? How would I go about this?
