Professional :: Displaying The Result Of A Calculation In A Dynamic Text Box
Jan 16, 2010I've created a series of calculations, and I've got that part down. Now, I just need it to show up in the movie.
I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:
stop();
var startDate:Date = new Date(2010,0,12); // use your startyear, startmonth, startdate in the new Date() parameters.var currentDate:Date = new Date(); // assuming user's clock is correct and in your timezone. else use server

ActionScript 2.0 :: Store The Result Of Calculation Of Function, In Variable Outside It?
Nov 11, 2005I ve a bit of missunderstood about functions: as i read the functions works:
basically 2 types:
named (can be lonely)
unamed (need and object)
- can i define a function wherever i want? ( _root, MC...) and call it from everywhere?, before or after i created it?
- if the variables of a function are local variables of that function. How can i store the result of a calculation of the function, in a variable outside it?
Professional :: Unexpected Result When Editing A Symbol?
Nov 24, 2010The symbols appear properly in the library. To edit the circle, I double click it on the stage.It appears to open for editing - the status bar above the stage says SCENE 1 -- SYMBOL 1 - but the square symbol on the stage DOES NOT gray out to indicate I am editing the circle I make changes to the circle and click out of editing mode, and yes, the changes have been made to the symbol in the library. So the editing process appears to have worked.
I overlook the square not graying out and begin writing my ActionScript, a simple script that changes the color of the circle or square in response to mouse overs. When I test the movie, the circle works perfectly but the square is unresponsive. It seems like Flash does not realize the square is on the stage.his exercise comes from the Missing Manual Flash CS5 book.When I download the completed exercise from their website and double click THEIR circle for editing, the remaining symbol DOES turn gray on my stage to indicate it is not being edited.My code appears to be identical to theirs. I have started over from scratch over a dozen times now, but I seem to keep making the same mistake.

Professional :: Flash CS4 Unexpected File Format
Oct 14, 2009I'm suddenly getting an "Unexpected file format" error on virtually every Flash CS4 file that I try to open. These are files that I created and I'm trying to open tham on the same computer on which they were created. The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that I installed some new fonts, so I deleted those, but that hasn't helped.I've tried retrieving files that I had backed up to a server, and those give me the same error. The only files that I AM able to open are 1) a test file that I created in CS4, saved, closed and reopened, and 2) files that had been created in CS3.

But before doing that, I tried to open that project, and it Said that it couldn't be found. I opened it manually but still the same. Then I closed Flash and opened it again. And when I opened the project I got : "Unexpected file format".

Dec 31, 2009If I have added Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners to different components, how can I set or know the ordering of when these events will be fired on each enterFrame?Instead of adding enterFrame listeners to individual elements, is it better practice to have one element which listens for enterFrame events, and has an array of elements needing updating on enterFrames, thereby making it easy to organize and change the firing order of these events?
View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Flash 'Unexpected File Format' Save Corruption?
Sep 7, 2011We recently upgraded to Windows 7 64Bit from Windows XP here at work, and since the upgrade i've discovered a very scary issue with Flash.When going to save one of my large projects, often Adobe simply crashes outright, freezing up and displaying a standard error message."Adobe Flash CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." - with an option for "Close program"I hit close program, and Flash disappears. If I try and open that same FLA file again, I get the error messageUnfortunately it seems since Flash is crashing in the middle of saving, it is corrupting my FLA file. This is extremely worrying, since it corrupts my entire source file.Here's the details of my computer:OS: Windows 7 - Recently upgraded from 32bit Windows XPThe Flash CS5 version is 11.0.0.485The FLA in question is 10MB, and contains some large map files (gifs), lots of small JPG's as well as a fair chunk of code as well as importing of external classes. I've tried replicating the issue on smaller files, and haven't been able to do so.

A child (Robot) dispatchEvent that it is destroyedThe parent container receives the event and starts removing the child by removeChild and remove the child from an array of Robots.on enterframe, during a loop to move the robots around, sometimes I would get null reference, so I have to call if (robots[i] == null) continue;
How do you safely remove the child without sprinkling if robot is null all over my enterframe?

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Intro Repeats A Few Frames When Using OnClipEvent(enterFrame) And LoadVars OnLoad
Jul 6, 2010I am using the following code to load my flash file, contact a php script and decide what frame to play based on the results. THat is all working fine, the problem is that when the animation starts from Frame 2 - gotoAndPlay(2) - it seems to repeat a few frames over and over until the whole animation is complete.
I have done some reading up and the enterFrame is called many times so I can understand why the problem is there but I don't know how to resolve it. The interesting thing is, when I just use gotoAndPlay(2) in the if loaded section, it all works fine. It's only when it's in the onLoad for the loadVars that causes it to break. Using: Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Returns That Result?
Oct 19, 2010I really don't understand how the results I get are possible.Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
patch = 0;
//Assign the correct percentages using the data recovered from the database[code]..........
And, here are the traces I get:
Quote:
int_tmp: 66.6
int_tmp: 66.6
int_tmp after: 66.6[code]....
my code somehow manages to say that the result of 66.6 + 33.3 = 99.89999999999999
It might be possible in some alternate universe, but here on earth, I should get a result of 99.9... I'm really hoping one of you can explain to me why Flash returns that result, cause really, I'm at a loss here... this line:
ActionScript Code:
var int_tmp:Number = int((nbUserArray[t]/nbUserTotal)*100*10)/10;
I made sure the values are the correct ones, plus the traces confirm that the first time, it equals 66.6 and the second time it equals 33.3. So really, I don't understand how it can return this... monster of a result .

ActionScript 3.0 :: Not Performing Calculation?
Mar 17, 2012So i think i have fully coded my calculator but it still doesn't seem to be performing the calculations correctly. I can't see where i am going wrong. If i perform a calculation let's say 6*2 it outputs NaN then i straight away + by let's say 5 it outputs NaN again. And it doesn't make the operators display only once, so if i click on '+' twice it will display twice in the display when it is meant to only display once and in one of my functions i cleared the display field so that it would replace the number's when the next operation is performed but it doesn't seem to be doing that. I have been going over the code several times but i can't seem to identify where the problem is coming from.
Actionscript Code:[code].....
I have not added the full code as it is too long, i have just added the parts which relate to each other. I am just doing everything entirely through actionscript, nothing is on stage apart from the display and answer text fields.
