Access Variable on Main Timeline from Package

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 19:12:02 GMT

I have set a variable on the root level timeline. I have a movieclip that calls a package and within that package I want to call or access the main timline variable. I have tried MovieClip(root) currentLabelName or just calling currentLabelName and none of that works. Is there another way to be able to access it?

I need a timer to wait 5 seconds after a button is clicked before displaying something else. I am having trouble with this and I am sure its something I am doing wrong. It seems to work but doesnt stop.

Here is what I have so far any help would be appreciated.

function tortTimer()

var tortInterval:Timer = new Timer(750);

tortInterval.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tortProcessing);

tortInterval.start();

}

function tortProcessing (e:TimerEvent):void {

if (rotationsPM < 20)

{

trace("Not long enough");

feeback_MC.visible = true;

tort_wrong.visible = true;

next_btn.visible = true;

} else if ( rotationsPM > 25) {

trace("Its overcooked");

feeback_MC.visible = true;

tort_wrong.visible = true;

next_btn.visible = true;

} else if (rotationsPM >=20 || rotationsPM <= 25) {

trace("Just Right");

feeback_MC.visible = true;

Text find and Highlight

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:19:33 GMT

I have a textbox that I am loading text from instructionsArray that gets data from a XML file. I want to search that textbox for a word that might be in the dictionaryArray that gets data from and XML file. Then I want the word if its there to be higlighted in red and be able to rollover or click the word to get a popup that shows the words definition that is also in the dictionaryArray. SO the code for all of this as I have it so far builds a rectangle backgournd and addes the textbox to it. The MA is a variable that tells what set of instuctions it is on (1, 2, etc). Everything works except the search and highlight. Is this better?

CODE FOR XML INSTRUCTIONS

Before tomatoes enter the plant, they must be graded for quality. The quality of the tomatoes on a truckload determines how much the producer gets paid. Only grade A/B tomatoes will be used in canning. Grade C tomatoes may be used for other types of tomato food products such as juice or salsa.

</boxtext>

<![CDATA[ Tomato Grading

<p>Enzymes The quality grade of a tomato is based on 3 things: size, ripeness and defects. This step is only an average of the quality for the whole truck so the producer can be fairly paid. Later, every tomato will be graded both by machine and by hand before being processed.

<p>Minimum quality requirements must be met to continue processing or you risk the final canned product getting recalled by the USDA. The estimated Grade quality for the truck is not sufficient enough. Each tomato is graded for redness by a machine where tomatoes that are too green are siphoned off for juice production. Tomatoes are also evaluated by hand so that any broken fruit can be discarded. Broken fruit will jam up the machinery and not peel properly.</p>

<p> Now it is your turn to practice grading tomatoes in order to determine how much to pay the producer!

1. Take a sample of tomatoes from 3 different spots in the truckload. <br/>2. Give each separate sample a grade of A/B, or C. <br/>3. Then average the 3 samples together to determine how much to pay you producer and decide what finished product to use the tomatoes for.

Encore Adobe Dynamic Link Audio problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:50:20 GMT

I have a multiple video files that I have put together in Premiere. The are HD Dolby 5.1 sound. I have about 10 of these together. So I export them to Encore using the Adobe Dynamic Link. I built the menu system. When I burn the dvd and try it. It plays through the first two clips just fine and when it gets to the third. The sound goes out and never returns on the rest of the clips. But when I test it in Encore and Premiere there is sound and it works great. Anyone know why when i burn the dvd I loose the sound on the 3rd clip? Thanks.

Change Text in a Textbox

I have created a textbox in a MC with AS3. I want to be able to change that text in that text box. I am not sure how to do that. The code that creates it is below. Does anyone see something I did wrong on trying to create it or change the text? Thanks.

CODE:

{

//declare Text Field for question or instructions

var textbox:TextField = new TextField();

textbox.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;

//declare colors

var shadowColor = "0xCCCCCC";

var boxColor = "0x4A3CFD";

//Creat Question MovieClip

var qbkg_shadow:Sprite = new Sprite();

var qbkg:Sprite = new Sprite();

textbox.x = 5;

textbox.y = 5;

textbox.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;

textbox.wordWrap = true;

switch (whichBox)

{

case "header" :

var headerFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

headerFormat.font = tomatoBasefont.fontName;

headerFormat.size = 22;

headerFormat.bold = true;

textbox.width = 778;

textbox.defaultTextFormat = headerFormat;

textbox.text = "Welcome";

header_MC.x = 18;

header_MC.y = 108;

header_MC.name = "instructionBox";

// Shadow Gray color;

qbkg_shadow.graphics.beginFill(shadowColor);

// x, y, width, height, ellipseW, ellipseH;

qbkg_shadow.graphics.drawRoundRect(10, 10, 958, 40, 20, 20);

qbkg_shadow.graphics.endFill();

// Purple Box color;

qbkg.graphics.beginFill(boxColor);

// x, y, width, height, ellipseW, ellipseH;

qbkg.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 958, 40, 20, 20);

qbkg.graphics.endFill();

header_MC.addChild(qbkg_shadow);

header_MC.addChild(qbkg);

header_MC.addChild(textbox);

addChild(header_MC);

break;

}

Then after the initial set up here I want to change the text in the textbox and the code I am trying is

CODE:

header_MC.textbox.text = "DOG";

I am getting the error TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

XML into an Array

currentLabel Problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:07:00 GMT

I have written a package that I am importing with a public function that wants to use the currentLabel but I am getting a 1120 errror and I am not sure why. I am wanting to use it to get the label of the maintimeline in an FLA. Can anyone help or done this before? Thanks.

CODE:

//Get Frame Label

public function getcurrentFrameLabel():void

{

trace("Getting Label Name");

trace(currentlabelName);

currentlabelName = (currentLabel);

//Get Next Frame Label from labesArray

nextLabel = labelsArray.indexOf(currentlabelName) + 1;

}

Call Class Function from FLA

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:33:35 GMT

This maybe simple but I have two as files and I want to call a function inside a class and I am not sure how to do this. EX I want to call the function Main() after I import the packages. Can anyone help?

Package CODE:

package code

{

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class allActivities extends flash.display.Sprite

{

public static var testGlobal:String = "testValue";

private function Main():void

{

trace("Initilize Global Variables");

}

package code

{

public class activityone

{

private function Maintwo():void

{

trace("testGlobal " + allActivities.testGlobal);

}

Library items to the Stage

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:39:04 GMT

I have some tomatoes in the library named "tomato01" thru "tomato07". I have an array with all of those names in it. I have a random function that pics one of those names at a time. Then I want to be able to place that specific tomato on the stage. EX if the random number is 7 it would put tomato07 on the stage at a specific location and size.

Do all the tomato items in the library have ot have the same class assigned to it? Then I am not sure about the code.

Can anyone help?

This is the code I have so far but it only does one specific tomato. Thanks in advance.

CODE:

var tomatoArray:Array = ["tomato01","tomato02","tomato03","tomato04","tomato05","tomato06","tomato07"];

var randomNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * tomatoArray.length) + 0;

trace(randomNumber);

trace(tomatoArray[randomNumber]);

function Main()

{

var newTomato:TomatoSample = new TomatoSample();

this.addChild(newTomato);

newTomato.x = 25;

newTomato.y = 45;

}

Main();
