I create this : function money () {total++;income.text=total;} and a button. income.text is added by 1 each time the button is onRelease. I need only 1 point to be added no matter how many time the button is pressed.
View 8 RepliesI am currently trying to create a function (or set of functions) that automatically fades in a button for each cue point in a video the first time a video loads. This way the buttons only become accessible once that point in the video has passed. The buttons should stay active once the video is loaded.
The code below is what I have so far. Essentially all I have managed to do is trace the name of the cuePoint. I believe what I need to do is somehow assign the cue point name to an object, pass that reference to the "fadeIn" function and run the "fadeIn" function.It is worth noting that the buttons I am fading in are already on the timeline, so I do not need to create them in code. I just need to reference them.

When i try to make like a shop game, i create a dynamic text and set it's variable to "money". When i test it, everything works fine. But when i try to add a static/dynamic text close to it, the text won't be visible.It's kinda hard to explain, so here's a preview:

I am creating a roullete wheel type game. I am having a problem updating a total when I call a function to add the variables. I have a variable "myMoney" that is initialized at 50. After I spin the wheel, I want to add the bets to the current value of "myMoney." I have another variable, "slot1Bet" that is initialized at 0. I am trying to call the function updateMoney(myMoney) which than should take the current value of "myMoney" and set it equal to itself plus the slot1Bet. The trace statement for "money equals...." returns 500 and so does the updateMoney function.m so the correct value is returned based on the slot bet.
_global.myMoney = 50;
_global.slot1Bet = 0;
trace("updated money equals " + updateMoney(myMoney));

I have been looking around for a long time to find a way to create a dynamic text field added to stage using as3 that is arched.I have seen this done in other sites but have had a hard time figuring out. Does anyone know of a component other than Text2Curve that is available? Has anyone already written something that arches a textfield that they would share?Arched text in flash seems to be impossible.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to access a function in a MovieClip that has been added to the stage. Right after loading in the function, I create a function that calls the function in the recently added MovieClip. The compiler does not recognize the Function and when I go into debug mode it shows up as null. I've tried declaring the function in the MovieClip using 3 different methods, but I get the same result.
Code:
function Sleep(){
var Sleep = function(){
this.Sleep = function(){
What I find strange is that when I declare the function on the stage, it looks just fine and I can even see it (as a Function object) in the debug panel.
I have 3 different functions for my preloader. I have an Event.OPEN, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, and an Event.COMPLETE. In the event.OPEN function, I create a new variable that is data typed to the class name of my preloader that I set in it's property dialogue box. This is just a simple circle animation.[code]...

I have a question regarding TweenMax and the way it tweens MovieClips. Here is what I have.
1. I have a rectangle movie clip on stage (width:20, height:20). When you click it, it expands (to width:650, height:350) and gets a 3-d function attached so it reacts to mouseXY position (like Lees 3-d photo tutorial). This part works fine.
2. I click it again and it retracts to its original small size (width:20, height:20). This also seems to work fine.
Problem: When I click it again it expands (to width:650, height:350), but when the 3-d function gets added it starts tween all weirdly shape and not the way it is intended.Here is my class
Code: Select allpackage
{
import flash.display.Sprite;[code].........
should be an easy one, but I tried everything i could think of

If we made a game in flash that has online, would it cost money to have the online server or something?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a game where I need to have a variable for money and a variable for Health, or in my case, I call it Energy. Most tutorials I'm finding are in AS2 and the AS3 ones are not this basic thing that I need. Basically, I have an item shop with a pizza button, and in their respective dynamic text fields, you can see the status of your Energy and your Money. So, let's say the person clicks the pizza to buy it, Flash will subtract 10 (for 10 bucks) from the person's total money value and add 15 for total Energy points.This is what I've written so far and I'm writing all the script in Flash, not outside using classes or packages. I can tell already that I'm missing something. How do I write it so that Flash knows to add 15 Energy from that Pizza button and can I update the values of the variables and kick off that mouse event in the same function?[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a program that adds values together. I need the variable to display with 2 decimal places. Right now $1.50 would look like: 1.5
How do I make Flash display the zero automatically?
I am currently writing a Flash AS3 website where users upload file(s), I take payment, and when payment has been received, the files are emailed to me to be processed, all within the same SWF.
I can get the upload and email part all working nicely. My question is about the payment part. Ideally, I would like to use Paypal but the critical point is that payment and then confirmation must all be within the same SWF. If Paypal directs to another page and returns to a different URL (or the same one for that matter), the SWF would have ended which would be a problem for the emailing part.
Is there a solution for Paypal to take money within the same SWF and just allow further functions to run on confirmation?
I was trying to load an external SWF (that contains the below code in its document class) with the Loader class but i keep on receiving Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. So i tried to use the event listener Event.ADDED in MyDocumentClass constructor of the external SWF to let the document class be part of the display list before i invoke createRandomGraph. But when i place createRandomGraph( ) inside onStageReady, The compilation process hangs. When i leave the createRandomGraph( ) inside the constructor, it works perfectly as stand alone but will produce Error 1009 if loaded within the loader SWF
public function MyDocumentClass( )
{
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onStageReady);

I want to know if there is a way to add an ease function to a movieclip that has a tween added on the stage already? is there a way to specify the number of frames that I want it to ease? For example, say my tween runs for 25 frames, but I want the easeIn to only last for 5 of thoes frames, and resume it's normal speed for the last 20 frames.
View 1 RepliesI'm doing quite a complicated game with a lot of code but one thing I can't quite figure out is how to trigger a function on the main stage from a dynamically added object.I've tried using custom events, but it doesn't work and doesn't throw any errors either.Here's the code for the CustomEvent class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]....
Here's the code part in the dynamically added child(CustomEvent is imported):
Code:
this.parent.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(null));
and here's the main timeline part of the code:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(CustomEvent.CUSTOM, checkMoney);
//more code here
function checkMoney(e:CustomEvent)[code].....
All of the above seems to work, because it doesn't throw an error, but it doesn't trace money when the event is dispatched.Before you ask, the event IS being dispatched or at least the if method it's in is entered.Any other method to tell the stage it's time to run the function is welcome also
I am trying to create html links from a external xml file to be dynamically added to a text field (im using flash builder)the process i am having trouble is: -Loading an external swf which contains the textfield loading external xml which contains the cdata with links adding the cdata to the htmltext property of the textfield the link is showing correctly, the mouse turns into a hand... but when i click on the link it doesnt work. i have seen a few forum posts similar to this problem but all are using textfield control in flash builder but im trying to add the cdata into an externally loaded swf which holds the textfield.
