I am trying to convert the longer code i have below into shorter codes, the codes that i have is for Actionscript 2, while i am using as2 debugger, trace(), its getting the loop, however it will not recognize that is a movieclip (button1 - button3 are 3 different movie clips that i assigned).

I have a loop that parses and works on a lot of data and it takes a long time. While it works away, the screen is blank and im wondering if there is a way to put a loader or counter up?
Since it does a finite amount of work, I thought I could just update the progress from within the loop but further readings has revealed that it wasn't possible.
ave some lines of code that i would like to shorten.
View 5 RepliesI have an animated GIF file that I am trying to convert to Flash using Adobe Fireworks. I can't get the Flash version to loop. I want it to replay indefinetely. I have attached the files so somebody can take a look.
I don't know Flash and the only reason I am using Fireworks (a trial version at this point in time) is because another person said this was the best way to do this.
I want to run the loop for long time in my application. If i do within few seconds i am getting a alert message like "Script in this movie make flash player to run slow . do you want to abort the script". How to overcome from this.
View 6 Repliesi have a soung loop that i want to "loop" in my movie.this is my script:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("loops/music.mp3",true);
the problem is that it only plays once (5 seconds long) and then stops, how do i get it to loop? - short of placing it on the timeline.

I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?

I made a simple game and a simple scoring system. Player writes his/her name first then plays the game and gets the score. Score and name are variables and writes on the screen at the end of the game.The problem is ; i have to keep names and scores for every player who plays the game. I can save it with php or mysql but i have to do it offline ! The game will be played on computers without internet connection.I googled about my problem and get some answers about sharedObjects but all the samples i've found are so complex.
1. Is there any possible way to run php codes embedding in flash application ? ( maybe in a third party software ? ) or is there any "simple" way to save scores and names ?
2. I'm sending my php codes i'm using to write and read in flash. Is there a actionscript version of these codes ?
3. I'm using DataGrid for displaying scores and a php file as data source. Is there a way to use a txt file for data source ??

View 2 RepliesI am working on a flash site where I want the buttons to animate on Rollover and reverse animation on Rollout. Here is the code I am using at the moment.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
This works fine but I would like to go one further. Is there a way for me to make the Rollout animation shorter?
So if the button animation is 60 frames long can the Rollout animation occur from say frame 30 on Rollout? The play head needs to jump to frame 30 on Rollout and I have no idea how.
Of course if the playhead is only on frame 20 then on Rollout the animation will reverse from frame 20. (not from frame 30).
This way the Rollover animation will be the focus and the Rollout is...well simply a Rollout animation. Short and sharp.
I have 10 or 100 or 1000 mc's on stage that do exactly the same on an onRollOver event and on an onRollOut event, what's the easiest way of writing this ? let's assume that the mc's are called mc1 to mc100, could it be done with an array and/or for statement ? Cause I'm used to old fashioned coding, I'm used not to try to cut corners So it kind of restricts my thinking a bit at times. So, do I need to start with an onRollOver event handler for each button in order to make Flash notice the onRollOver event for each button ?
View 1 RepliesI have a static, UTF-8 encoded XML document that gets loaded by a custom movie clip class into an array and then items from the array are read and displayed in a dynamic text field that is attached to the movie clip,depending on which one is rolled over.Everything works perfectly except that an ampersand displays as & apostrophes display as ' and quotes display as ", even if I use the special character inside the XML.Higher level character codes actually display properly, so character codes for circle shaped bullets,registered trade mark symbol, Greek characters, etc, work! But a blessed ampersand does not.Setting the dynamic text field to either read as HTML or not read as HTML makes no difference.
Using CDATA tags in the XML makes no difference.In fact,when I use CDATA tags and enclose text containing a special character code, Flash goes the extra step of converting the ampersand in the special character code to &!! So" becomes "Using & just gets converted to &.So Flash's XML parser is parsing the & to an ampersand,which Flash's text parser then converts to &. WHY? And how do I stop it?
I found the function below to clean out the unwanted characters,and it works,but it seems a ridulous length to go to.And I probably have to extend it to accomodate whatever other characters don't work in Flash, but I don't know what those might be until I encounter them. Also,the function works whether I use a special character in the XML or not. ie, if I put an actual "&" into the XML, this function will display "&" and if I put & into the XML,it will still display as "&".
In AS2 you had the functions ord() and chr() which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.
However in AS3, String.charCodeAt() and String.fromCharCode() work with Unicode values.
Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?
Or maybe I should ask "how the MainTimeline class is composed"?How exactly are the codes in frame scripts organized into a class?

I Have Flash CS4 and a pretty decent system with Vista and 3 GB of RAM. However, whenever I click on anything in Flash, it takes about 3 or 4 seconds for it to become active. If I click a keyframe, the stage won't come up for 3-4 seconds, if I click the text tool, the cross hairs won't come up for 3-4 seconds, etc. It has been like this since I installed it...I am just finally getting my full of it.

I know flash know some Actionscript... to be clear what I know is how to take code form a sample file, and build the gui ontop of it... simple stuff not too tech... ie like moving an object onEvent using AS etc.
I have never taken any programming courses I am a university grad with a good amount of math knowlegde and solid (so I'd like to think) design sense. What I would like to know is two things.1. What methods (if any) would I take to become a proficient AS developer.
2. How long will it take (I can basically devote 6 out of the 7 days of the week to this effort.
5 days. ... can it be done in one 4 month semester?
