When I run this program the "showAPplication" method runs first. I am just a little confused as why the "showApplication" method runs before the "complete" method? Why could this be happening?

I have an HTTPService that executes the dataLoaded(e:ResultEvent):void function whenever it gets a result from a send() call. OK so If I call HTTPService.send() and then call HTTPService.send() again before the previous one receives a result, I end up repeatedly running dataLoaded() which is undesirable What I want is if HTTPService.send() gets called before a previous call to it returns a result. I want to cancel the first call, and only process the result from the last call to HTTPService.send()
View 4 Repliesin my application, I did some trace statements of a file For example if(oldFile.parent.toString()!=file.parent.toString()) There are some other file print statements , and it seems to encounter this error stated below. But the error does not appear every time. For example i ran my application for 20 times, it will encounter this error once. Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful. at Error$/throwError() at flash.filesystem::File/resolveComponents() at flash.filesystem::File/get parent()
View 1 RepliesI have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?
I am using setTimeout() to call a function called "finished" after a 1000ms pause, which works absolutely fine until I try to pass a variable with it.

I want to have 2 static functions called turnOn() and turnOff(). Say objectA calls turnOn(), then objectB calls turnOn(). Then objectA calls turnOff(), it should not turn off because objectB turned it on as well. Also say objectA calls turnOn(), then objectB calls turnOn(). Then objectB calls turnOff(), it should not turn off because objectA hasn't turned it off yet. Finally, if objectA and objectB turn it on, it turns off when they both turn it off. I was thinking keeping track of how many turnOn and TurnOff's are called and make sure it matches, but thats not truly accurate because objectA can call turnOff() twice.
View 5 RepliesI want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:
private function onPressNow(event:MouseEvent):void
{
startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

View 2 RepliesI need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?
i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);
[code]....
We have been given some code that does a URLRequest call which is really slow to respond, so I was looking to make it pull the data from the page, as it is already on the page.[code]I have tried to replace it with this (actionscript is definitely not my forte):[code]I am using addCallBack as that is what the editor suggested via autocomplete, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately I cannot go back to the developer at this time.The error message is:Call to a possibly undefined method addCallback through a reference with static type flash.external:ExternalInterface
View 3 RepliesI have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

I need a flash mentor. Not a forum, where if someone happens to feel up to it, they'll give me a quick answer. I need someone who will dialogue with me promptly, go through my files, read my code, and help me with my projects.
When i was in undergrad, i took a course called interactive media that was mostly about flash. When i was working on a project and i became stuck on something because of a problem i didnt know how to fix, i could just ask my instructor for some help. He'd give me thorough, common language answers. This is what i need. The class only taught me the basics. Tutorials and tech jive forums don't help me very much.
I imagine no one wants to do this kind of thing for free. So paying for a service is an option. Where can i find a service like this?
I'm trying to display objects from class files and methods.
Now I was looking at the source of this project here [URL]
To learn how to do this from AS3, main question I have how is the Main() class being called there? There is no actionscript in the frames of the FLAs so where is the call coming from to the Main class to initialize display? Is there something special about the Main() class that has it called when a swf is loaded.
I tried to duplicate it by making a simple Main which extends MovieClip and simply placing it in the root folder of the project but it isn't being auto called and it hasn't worked.

View 3 RepliesI'm setting sessions. And then checking the session by another PHP page. When I login using the browser and then checking using the browser then everything is ok.When I check the is Logged or not by calling the PHP file from a flash file then it can't find any session data.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a site, for kids, which has a small avatar in the corner that talks.The avatar is a flash file and the plan is to determine what it says through a mix of javascript and ajax.
Unfortunately when I make the flash file play an Mp3 file through JavaScript, I can't seem to stop the sound.. so when I keep clicking on a link which causes it to talk, I hear the sound repeated x times.
The odd thing is, when I attach the very same code to a button in flash, there seems to be no such limitation. It seems as if it won't store anything in global variables when calling from JavaScript.
I have Flash game at my site. There is a button "Download full version" that calls Javascript function:
function download() {
window.open('http://mysite.com/goto/game1');
}
http://mysite.com/goto/game1
redirects via 301 redirect in .htaccess to
