I looking at a alternative coding which use two for loop, my code is require to overwrite the value in array b into a if b has a larger value than a, after break and loop a will continue point to the next index until it has the next 'mm' value while the loop b will resume from where it was "break"

Im making a transition from Java to Flash/Actionscript and Im having sort of a hard time figuring out where to write my code for my flash game loop(or engine) due to flash having "frames" unlike Java.Am I able to put the loop inside the Document class even having like game menus in the game? I havent found a way to put it in there without it always running when the flash application begins.Or should I just have the game loop called every frame? For instance, frame 4 will be level 1 and so the engine will be called out there. And frame 5 will be level 2 and ill call a different instance of the game engine there.Im just having a difficult time due to the "frames". So where would be the best place to put the game loop?
View 4 RepliesHow do you stop the flash debugger if the code is running an infinite loop, or very very slowly?
I put too many trace() statements in, and it is taking forever. I know I can ctrl+alt+delete and stop flash CS5, but is there an easier way?
I'm creating a simple navigation from an MC (navBtn) in the library.The MC's are added using a loop with the text on the MC's coming from an array,(in the actual code it's from XML).When the loop has finished I wanted to create a final contact button using the same
MC in the library.I'm using an if statement to determine the end of the loop
Code:
if (i>=nameArr.length) {

I found this code in an AS2 .fla and would like to use it in AS3. (The idea is to throw a random number of copies of the movieclip "star_mc" on the stage via AS).
for (var i =0;i<50;i++) {
star_mc.duplicateMovieClip("star"+i,i,{_x:Math.random()*350,_y:Math.ra ndom()*150});
this["star"+i].gotoAndPlay(Math.random());
}
I get this error message: TypeError: Error #1006: duplicateMovieClip is not a function.

I'm creating a simple banner for my site. I found some cool landing confetti code but it seems like after it hits the keyframe with the confetti actionscript it stops and the rest of my simple timeline animations don't play. I just wanted to have a few type animations and a logo fade in and out while the confetti is falling. I removed the stop on the confetti frame and after I do that the animations play but the confetti doesn't work. This code is on the main timeline that causes it to stop
Code:
// pause after how many seconds
vSeconds = 11;
vFPS = 20;

I have a problem to use each code in for loop. I create 2 Circles in my stage with addChild code. And I gave them function ( mc.x += 2; ) and the time they get to the end of stage I gave the function ( mc.x -= 2; ) but my problem is when one of the circles get to end and wants to move to the right the other circle move with him to the right. and I think the each code in for loop helps me. but I don't Know how to use it in my actions.
my code is:
ActionScript Code:
var mc1:Circle = new Circle();
var mc2:Circle = new Circle();

how do I get this code to repeat itself continually, because it just executes once. Im not that good with listeners, i know functions and variable etc though im not that bad.

I am new to FLASH and have created a rotating banner for our website with 5 roatating images with 5 invisble buttons linking to 5 landing pages. And it works the first loop through.

I want to have an array that loops my movie clips.However, there also needs to be the ability for the loop to stop and play a specific movie clip when a specific thumbnail that corresponds to that clip is clicked on.Then, when that movie is done playing, the array is accessed again and the array continues once again, also looping.I don't even know if this is possible.I set up something that worked in Flash Catalyst, but the only problem is that FC doesn't have the ability to have a fullscreen button in it for the document.I need to be able to have the entire document go fullscreen when a button is pressed.I do not have Flash Builder.[code]
View 3 RepliesI thought I had this one right until I listened a little closer. Below is the code that I am using to make a loop button for my music player. At first, using everything but the last line, seemed to work perfectly, until I realized that the music wasn't starting over from the very beginning. Basically I'm using a pause command, followed by a resume command to keep the pressing of the loop button from playing the song over itself, if it'scurrently playing. So in that respect, it works great. But when the song ends and estarts, it starts only from the point of the song when I pressed the loop button. So I'm trying to figure out how to make the 2nd time that the song plays and each additional time after that, play from the very beginning of the song. While still being sure that the song does not play over itself, the first time it's played.
Code:
loopbutton_up.onPress = function(){
mySongPosition = _root.mySong.position/1000;

I've got this loop and can't get it to work. It won't read the trace so I know the array call in my function statement is wrong but I can't see it at the moment. What am I doing wrong here? The rollover works when I write it out repetitively for the four buttons.
var btnAction:Array = new Array (oneBut, twoBut, threeBut, fourBut);
for (var i=0; i<btnAction.length; i++) {
this.menuMC.btnAction[i].onRollOver = this.menuMC.btnAction[i].onDragOver = function() {
trace("anything");
}
};
I have a movieclip called myButton,inside of myButton i have a textfield called buttonLabel. I have 16 instances of myButton placed on the stage with instancenames myButton1,myButton2, etc.I want the textfield inside of each button to display the same number as the one in their instance name. ie myButton1.buttonLabel.text = "1".instead of repeating that line of code 16 times, is there a way i can use a loop? something like
for (var i:int = 1; i < 17; i++)
{
myButton(i).buttonLabel.text = i
}

i have this code that should get a face (eyes, shape, etc) in motion on Mouse Over. The thing is i dont know how to loop this onMouseOver code so it works like an onEnterFrame handler (while onMouseOver).Another way to put it: as long as the mouse stays over the Mclip i want the code to loop. How can i do this?Here is my code:

I'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.
When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.
I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails.Here is the code.
Code:
public function buildTextFields() {
3 columns (I'm calling them TextBlocks)

I've got 13 movieclips that all run a function (setNames) contained in a child object (namer) it contains. The function displays text in a dynamic text boxI've set them up with the instance names mark0 > mark12 so I can target them with a loop and array notation which is something I often use. But the loop sometimes doesn't work, however a list of 13 separate lines of code works fine. Am I overloading Flash with too much code commands at once, and is there a way around this?This doesn't work...
for(i = 0; i<13; i++) {
//sets names
this["mark"+i].namer.setNames();

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I'm looking for a workaround to the "AdSense does not let you choose only images but no flash" issue. I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.
