Flex :: Hold And Continue FOR - LOOP From The Same Spot?
Sep 6, 2011
I got a for/foreach loop the calls a function inside of it. The prolem is that the function being-called doesnt fininsh it's job before the loop goes over again/ Here is my code:
[Code].....
As you can see i want to add an item (notfriend) in MYFRIENDS unction, "notfriend" is defined inside the loop, but by the time "MYFRIENDS" function finish loading the item already changes to the next item even though i was originally refering to the previous item. Is there a way to maybe hold the FORloop until "myfriends" function finish loading.
I wanted to use Eventlistener on "myfriends" function , but then what do i do to stophold the loop? all i know is BREAK-which destroyes the FOR-LOOP and CONTINUE-which continue the loop from the next iterate.

I have a flash loop with a function inside (nothing special, just looks through some text files on hard drive). However, some of the files don't satisfy, this is expected and the program throws an error as expected. No surprises there.But! I would like it to move on to the next text file when it finds a bad text file. Instead, it just stops everything.[code]

I've been looking at other posts and trying to cobble this together, but am lost.I have a movie I need to play from frames 1-45 five times then continue from frame 50 to frame 70 and stop.on frame one I have the following script (in a layer for actions)
if (numberOfTimesToLoop<3) { gotoAndPlay(1); numberOfTimesToLoop++; } else { gotoAndPlay(50); } [code]....
this doesn't work, and I've tried many variations.

I'm wrestling with an issue right now and I'm hoping for some help, and more so, I'm hoping I can explain my problem. With the thought of a "fill in the blank/drag and drop/string replacement" interaction, here's how my swf works:
I have a various movie clips that can be dropped on various movie clips.When one movie clip is dropped on another, the corresponding __#__ within myTitle.text will be replaced with a string that is related to the movie clip that was just dropped: i.e. myTitle.text becomes 'This is the most annoying [thing]...'Per that example I just mentioned, in the code below, my for loop searches for __1__ and moves the hTarg movie clips accordingly.Once a __1__ is replaced with the associated string I mentioned, the indexOf the __1__ becomes null because it no longer exists in the string, and the following startRect(s) below also become null.
So, my question is: How do I continue to loop through my for loop if the first index is null? I hope this makes sense, and I'm hoping someone can ituit what I'm trying to do based of my lousy explanation. If more clarification is needed, let me know and I will do my best to further explain.

I have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval. I have a loop that I want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc. So I can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
aMenu = new Array();
aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu[i]);
}}

I've got a symbol on stage and a button. The button rotates the symbol CCW half a degree. Code: on(release){ mySymbol._rotation -= 0.5;} I wanna add an on (press and hold) action on button so that the symbol will be rotated continuously when the button is on hold.. I can't make this work for over a week now.

i have a loop that moves a game piece every time a dice is tossed using tweens (i loop the movement the amount that comes out on the dice). it all works fine.
the problem is that when mid movement i need to ask a user a quesition with a popup movie with buttons that would determine the movement - i cant pause the loop.
basically i need to know how to put a loop on hold until further user input
if i have a loop that increments a number by one until it hits a predefined amount- i want to pop up a menu that would ask the user if he wants to continue incrementing the number by 1 or by 2. I still want the loop to run a total set amount of times (lets say 100)

I have an AIR/Flex app I made, I have a few people testing it and everyone is reporting that after leaving it running for a while, it is making all there machines run very slow. It runs fine at first so this must be a memory leak somewhere. I used the profiler on this and the only thing that shows as using a substantial amount of memory is MethodQueueElement which is not a class I wrote, and I have no idea what it does, I am assuming its part of the Flex framework. I am not familiar with using a profiler so I am not sure what all I shuld be looking at, that was the only class that was high on "memory" and it said it had over 100,000 instances. If this is my problem what can I do to fix it?

I have one question about pureMvc. I use pureMvc to build an engine, in the engine init part i have an requirement
1) moduleA must init firt
2) moduleB , moduleC need init after moduleA init complate.
3) moduleD need init after moduleB & moduleC init complate.
4) moduleA , moduleB , moduleC , moduleD all extends Proxy beacuse the four system all need to send notifiation ,but no need to listen it.
But to fit for the requirement I can't use command to do it, because they have ini order and also they need to remember current state(ex: moudelB is init Complate but moudleC is not init complete then can't init moudleD) but command is stateless. The best way I think is use one Mediator to do it, beacuse it can both listen and send notification. My question is :
1) Is this a good way to use one Mediator to do it?
2) If use Mediator is good way, then when it hear first moduleA is init complate
registerCommand(FIRST_MODULE_INIT_COMPLATE , initStepTwoCommand);
sendNotification(FIRST_MODULE_INIT_COMPLATE);
removeCommand(FIRST_MODULE_INIT_COMPLATE);
Need to do things like that way or just do the inti logic in the Mediator?

In my Flex 4.5 application I have a TitleWindow Settings.mxml, which is popped up by the PopUpManager.Once the user has changed some settings, I not only need to save them to a SharedObject, but also to apply them to the main Application itself - so that the changes are visible to the user immediately.For example I need to call its method hideApp(somevalue);
The spark.components.Application does not seem to have any static/singleton methods to get ahold of it.So how do you do it? how to declare, that an MXML file implements one or several interfaces?
package {
public interface Hiddable {
function hideApp(value:Number):void;[code]....
besides the main Application I have a SettingsTest.mxml Application in my project for"unit testing" that particular functionality.

I have an app that has text appended to a TextArea (TA). It automatically scrolls to keep the recent line added in view. Over time, this could be a lot. Do I have to worry about this? Is there an upper limit? And, if so, how can I prune the oldest lines of text?

When it starts, I switch tab to nr.2 (default is tab 1). I need to be able to hold down spacebar and drag the mouse to pan, but when I do this it switches back to the first tab. So the spacebar is triggering it to switch. I've tried using a custom lass that extends tabNavigator, like the code below, but it's not working. Also tried setting focusEnabled = false without luck.

I want to make a pulsating spot that looks like red light. The pulsating effect is done but the circle with gradient red goes from red center to black. I want it to go from red to nothing/transparent, so that whatever background can be seen through the edge of the "light". Is that possible? I use Flash 8.

I'd like to add hot spot URL links to an FLV file, which is being played in a customised swf. I dont want to embed the video into the timeline, so I would like the hotspots on the FLV itself. Does anyone know how to do this. youtube seems to do it just fine. Is it triggered via an event embedded on the FLV, in which case does anyone know the AS code for it?

Is there any way for me to move the mouse to a spot on the stage and determine what the x/y coords are? It's really hard writing some action script and just continually guessing what x/y coord i want until i get it close enough.

I know how to move movieclips from one spot to another with a click of a button. I want to go further. After a few seconds, that movieclip will move again to another spot. So, with one click, my movieclip will move to one spot, and then after a few seconds will move to another spot.

So I'm trying to shoot multiple bullets out of my body and it all works except I have an odd problem of just one bullet showing up and updating to set position for the new ones.
I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.
The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting. Here's My Code (The Bullet it self is a class)

I'm working on a flash movie(?) where I would like to place some hot spots on a image and with mouse over that display an info text. It got to be dynamical since I load location and text from a xml file. But I don't know where to start. Should I use SimpleButton for the hot spot and let the mouseover display a TextField with the info text?

How do you make it so that wherever you click, the AS will get that location and put a specific moviclip in the spot? I've tried several things to achieve this, but i am still having problems with this.

How would I go about finding the closest instance to a certain spot? I was thinking about using the distance formula and looping through all the instances on the stage, but I don't know how to find the shortest distance between all those measured.

how to get a picture to appear in a spot when you click it. (Example: Customizing a picture with flash.) When I say this I mean, I have the stuff I want to customize, I put it all into flash, and now I want to make it so when it's on the net people can customize the given object, by clicking what they want added. No Click and Drag, just clicking.
