At a certain point in an effects execution i would like to execute some code.
Say for example that i have a move effect on objectA and half way through this effect i want to make objectB disapear.
Is there any functionality built in to the spark effects framework to do this or do i need to implement the effect myself by hand?
What is the difference between target and currenttarget in flex?What is the difference between Target and Current Target in Flex especially in mouse events.
View 2 RepliesI am animating a number of items using the Move effect. I am adding each item to an array after it has been added to the display list and once all items are added calling the play method, passing an array of the items to it. Only the last item plays in my animation.
Here is my code:
MXML: s:Move id="coinFall" yFrom="-400" duration="2000" />
public function showCoins(n:Number):void{
holder.removeAllElements();
var targets:Array = [];

I'm creating a site that allows drag and drop navigation. Here's the current preview:
[URL]
My goal is to allow the user to freely navigate the desktop and explore at their leisure, however, for the user who's a little more impatient I want to offer an option allowing them to click a button on the bottom menu and have the desktop slide directly from the movieclip's current XY coordinates (whatever they are at the time), to a designated XY, and center on that specific section, easing into place.
I've got placeholder buttons, and placeholders for the desired targets, but I can't wrap my mind around the code needed to do it, nor have I found any examples that use the same technique with AS3.

How to bring the current target into the movie clip?
If we can set the current target into "selectMovieClip" variable then i believe we should be able to rotate or manipulate it as a MovieClip.[code]...
I am trying to carry out an actionscript colour tween and have found the following code on these forums:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
doTween = function () {
var t = (getTimer()-this.startTime)/this.dur;
if (t>1) {
[code]...
I would like to have a variable which returns the current red, green and blue values of the movie clip during the tween. In other words, I need to define a variable for the current RGB in the middle of my AS colour tween so that the following example would tween smoothly from the current values to the target.
E.g. mc.beginColorTween(currentr, currentg, currentb, 255, 204, 0, 500);
I am using Flash MX with AS2.0.
Flash MX 2004. My drag and drop is working fine, but now I want the target area to highlight or something while the mouse is over it but not released yet, like its confirming the target area I want to drop in. The target area is several irregular polygon shapes. I would prefer if the target area would show an outline around the area.
My button try didn't work because I'm already pressed down on another button (the one I'm dragging).

View 1 Repliesdoes anyone know if it's possible to target values stored in an array in a function from anywhere in a movie? e.g var Pressed:Array = item trace(Pressed)
if i trace the Array name within the function it spits out values, but when i try and access the Array from outside of the function it doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesIn my animation I have a button utilizing the tellTarget command to activate another movieclip (which contains an effect for the button). The button and the "effect movieclip" (each on their own layer) are inside a movieclip called MC_mm_buttons which again is inside the main .swf
When I test my .swf the output window gives me this error message:
Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"
I isolated the button and its effect movieclip simply by making them again, from scratch, in a new document.. everything works fine, so I've got the tellTarget command and the interaction between the button and its movieclip nailed down. Now, I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with me needing to specify that the effect movieclip (in my real .swf) is inside another movie clip and on a different layer.. My button and movieclip are in the same movieclip but each on a layer of their own, the movieclip has an instance name of "test" and the button has a script like this:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("in")
}} on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("out")
}}
When I roll the mouse over the button, the output window gives me this:
Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"
I'm using this complex rollover button on my site i found here --> [URL] What i'm looking to do is have this effect trigered when a second button is rolled over as well. Is there a way to target this movie clip effect from the _root timeline? I was able to achieve this halfway by using labels but I am not able to reverse the animation on roll out with this method.
View 2 RepliesI used to use flash years ago, and have only recently come back to it in my course in university so im very rusty.
What i am looking to do is in flash create two sliders where the user can slide along to their shoe size, and their weight, so that as they do that, the numbers in two other boxes will periodically change to help indicate what size snowboard they need to get.
eg. as user makes shoe size slider go along to larger sizes, at certain points the number in a box labelled board width will increase.
also as an added touch I would like a character to actually increase in size as the slider is used, I'd imagine for this I would need to have a movieclip of the character getting bigger and allow the slider to progress through the frames of this movieclip.
Up until CS4 the Colour effects dialog box was incredibly powerful. These 8 little fields were never the most intuitive, and it took a lot of fiddling before I realised their true power: the first column basically controls the contrast of an asset - and the 2nd column controls the brightness.Using these experimentally, you can acheive inverted colours, high contrast effects and colourising effect far superior to tints(see image).Well, you USED to be able to - when you could put high numbers in those fields.But the CS4 version of these controls caps any entered values to 100% and 255 respectively.It seems that it is only an effect of the interface - as I can cut and paste clips with the old settings from CS3 into CS4 and they display correctly.Is this an oversight on Adobe's part, or is there another explanation for the loss of a great design feature?
View 5 Repliesis it possible to stop a web service from executing?
I have a flex web application that searches clients with both full name and client id, when searching by name sometimes the usuer just types the last name and it takes a long time.
Since the app is used when clients are waiting in line, I would like to be able to stop the search and use their full name or id instead, and avoid waiting for the results and then having to search the user manually within the results.
I meant "web service" I actually meant mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService, I want to stop it from waiting for the result event and the fault event.
I have a creationComplete="myMethod(event)" in my s:Application, and it runs fine on my 3 flex (Flash Builder 4) development machines. However it is not working on the 2 end user machines I tried it on today!
It is not executing the creationComplete at all, but it is running the application and it seems like all the other code is running fine - with the exception of possibly some other creationComplete code for other components in the app.
On my machines I have tested it under IE 8 and 9, FireFox and Chrome - on all 3 machines.
On these two machines it has the problem on both IE 7 and IE 8. I even installed FireFox new and it also has the issue. After installing the latest flash player and deleting all browser history/cookies it still has the problem.
What might cause the creationComplete to not execute?
Update: I tried using initialize() and no difference.
However, I believe I found the line of code causing the problem:
var isDebug:Boolean = new Error().getStackTrace().search(/:[0-9]+]$/m) > -1;
If I comment that out, it works fine. I need that to know if my app is running in development/debug mode or on an end users machine.
I've read the flex language reference: [URL]. This property is true if execute() has been called and not all of the results have been returned from the database. However, I'm having trouble understanding what that means exactly. I keep receiving an error:
Error #3106: Property cannot be changed while SQLStatement.executing is true.
I've tried creating an event handler for SQLEvent.RESULT, my thinking was that's how the results would get returned from the database and therefore executing() would return false - didn't work. Does this mean i'm trying to change my SQLStatement variable too quickly? how long does the execute() function take?
The code in question:
private function fileProgress(p_evt:ProgressEvent):void {
var char:String;
var line:String = "";
var counter:int = 1;
sqlStatement = new SQLStatement();
[Code] ....
Stream is a filestream. I'm trying to read a textfile and put every line into a new sqlite table row. I've also tried using sqlStatement.parameters as an alternative way to do my insert queries, but to no luck. that throws a different error:
Error #3110: Operation cannot be performed while SQLStatement.executing is true.
I have a headerbar.mxml that is displayed when user swipes_down in my app. The headerbar.mxml contains a button component I want to run an erase() in the main application window. The main application is a drawing app that contains an erase(). I just don't know how to call a function from another mxml view file. I thought it would be something like
click="{mainwindow.drawPanel.erase()}";
EDIT:
protected function onColorChange(event:List):void{
[code]......
I have a main.mxml, child.mxml and headermenu.mxml. I click a button on the headermenu that dispatches an event up to the main.mxml which then executes a method in child.mxml. I know this works because I put an AlertDialog in the function I'm calling inside of the child.mxml. The child.mxml contains a drawingArea object that has an erase(). When I call this directly from child.xml it executes, however if I put drawingArea.erase() inside of the function being called by child's parent (main.mxml) nothing happens.[code]...

I want to add scripting functionality to my Adobe Flex application. I know it's possible to use the Browser control, and add the script packaged as a HTML file to the Browser control, and expose Flex objects. However I'd like to if it is possible to execute JavaScript without using the Browser control.UPDATE: I guess my question hasn't been clear enough. I'll explain what I'm trying to do.I want to make my application customizable using JavaScript ie., add scripting/plugins to my application dynamically.I realize that it's possible to dynamically execute Javascript by inserting the JS code into the HTMLLoader control. I would like to know there is a direct way to execute JavaScript without inserting it into the HTMLLoader control.

and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....
