Re: reusable input text to create new output text

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 02:45:04 GMT

I see that you still have the writeText function nexted within another function. Get that out of there and give it the same level of access as the dispar function.

I think I am starting to understand what you are trying to do. What you need to do is to make the object you are targeting only be the last tbox object that you added. To do this you should have a variable outside of the functions ( private var newText:tbox; ) that you assign only to the most recent tbox created as it gets created... (change the line in the function to using just: newText = new tbox(); ) Then in the writeText function you target using that variable as you have it. That should only target the most recent tbox that you add.

Also, if you only have one set of ps1 textfields you should only assign the event listeners to them once. If I understand what you are doing, your current code reassigns the listeners everytime you create a new tbox. If that is the case, find somewhere else to assign them outside of the dispar function

Sorry, I don't know why it paste like that. I'm trying to save the information in newText, and not have the save information changed when ps1 text is changed. because of the CHANGE event all the newText i add on stage have the same information inside. hope that makes sense... thx for any pointers

Re: reusable input text to create new output text

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 01:56:02 GMT

I don't understand what you mean. What do you want to do with the text that is in the newText textfields? Try to limit the code you show only to what is relevant to your questions. It can be difficult to go thru alot of code to try to see what might relate to the question, and when it looks like the way yours does it is even harder.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:33:12 GMT

I found the solution! Flash CS5 Tutorial 6 Click On Button Go To Another Frame.avi - YouTube

I had to Convert to Keyframes each frames I wanted to jump to on the buttons layer. Then highlight the button and give each another instance name! Like forward1_btn, forward2_btn, back1_btn, back2_btn... I did that and adjusted the action-script for each button.

Frame 1

stop();

play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playslideshow);

function playslideshow(event:MouseEvent)

{

gotoAndPlay(2);

}

forward1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Shoot_1);

function Shoot_1(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndStop(40);

}

back1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Back_1);

function Back_1(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndStop(281);

}

Frame 40

forward2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Shoot_2);

function Shoot_2(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndStop(121);

}

back5_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Back_5);

function Back_5(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndStop(1);

}

Re: Problems with Next and Back Buttons ActionScript 3.0

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 18:03:10 GMT

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your reply. I want my forward and backward buttons to go to the next slide and stop. I don't want them to play after I jump to the next one. The play button seems to work correctly no matter what frame I am on. That is not the problem. The problem is when I go through the slideshow once either playing it or pressing the next or back button. It stops working and only goes back and forth from slide 201 to 1 or 1 to 121 depending on what direction I have gone.

If I press the play or next button through the whole show it goes through once and gets stuck on frame 201 to 1.

If I press the back button through once then it gets stuck on 1 to 121.

I tried it only once. Earlier I was getting more than 100 error mails but after implementing Math.random I am getting only around 5 - 10 mails only. Because external file is available so there will no any problem to call more than 1 time.

Threshold and mask

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:24:15 GMT

Hi everyone.

I need to remove only dark red in a bitmapdata.

I wrote below code where I create gradient fill of red-black, red-white, blue-black and blue-white for test purposes.

Draw that to bitmapdata and then try to use threshold method to do it.

Whatever I set mask an copysource parameters of that method I can't succeed.

I thought that mask parameter is for setting a channel, so if I set it to 0xFFFF0000 I set red channel with full alpha as a target of operation. But that doesn't happen.

Instead all dark colors are replaced and also some blue-light.

Please help me out.

CODE:

var rec:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,50,200);

var m:Matrix = new Matrix;

m.createGradientBox(rec.width,rec.height, Math.PI / 2);

var r:Shape = new Shape;

//RED

r.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR, new Array(0xFF0000,0x000000),new Array(1,1),new Array(0,255), m);

r.graphics.drawRect(0,0,rec.width,rec.height);

addChild(r);

m.createGradientBox(rec.width,rec.height, Math.PI / 2, 50);

r.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR, new Array(0xFF0000,0xFFFFFF),new Array(1,1),new Array(0,255), m);

r.graphics.drawRect(50,0,rec.width,rec.height);

//BLUE

m.createGradientBox(rec.width,rec.height, Math.PI / 2, 100);

r.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR, new Array(0x0000FF,0x000000),new Array(1,1),new Array(0,255), m);

r.graphics.drawRect(100,0,rec.width,rec.height);

m.createGradientBox(rec.width,rec.height, Math.PI / 2, 150);

r.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR, new Array(0x0000FF,0xFFFFFF),new Array(1,1),new Array(0,255), m);

r.graphics.drawRect(150,0,rec.width,rec.height);

//BITMAPDATA

var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(200,200,true,0);

bd.draw(r);

bd.threshold(bd,bd.rect,new Point,'<', 0xFFAA0000, 0xFF, 0xFFFF0000, false);

var b:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bd);

addChild(b);

b.y = 200;

Four top strips is before threshold.

Four bottom is after use of threshold.

Re: Getting SWF file loading Error #2036 only few times

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:06:27 GMT

One more thing.

How many Math.random tries you are doing with ioError function?

Are you doing it once or over and over?

If you are able to reduce number of errors with one try ioError, then maybe ioError with try global variable counter which would limit number of tries to lets say 10 and setTimeout with 2000 ms or less for another try would do this for you?

Re: Getting SWF file loading Error #2036 only few times

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:32:26 GMT

The only thing that I found if you didnt try, is to avoid GC with code like this:

var loaderReferences:Array = new Array();

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

loaderReferences[0] = loader;

// here goes rest of your code for loader

It didnt solve the problem in my case, but it did for some other people as3 code, so maybe for you too.

Probably today, one of computers with that problem will have total reinstall of Windows 7.

I suppose that it will solve problem for some time, but this is not the solution type that we are looking for.

"- avoid cache with variable date timer in url - no difference, error still appears."

I already tried similar solution, but not in ioError function:
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3&nocache="+new Date().getTime()));

I will check if this will make a difference, but I dont think it will in my case.

Difference between your and my case is, that if computer is not able to load file, then it is doing it on every try, and this happens few or more days.
Other computers dont have this problem on any try.
I am using official YouTube code, making many things in AS3 for years, so code is fine, just looking for a trick for this adobe bug that seems to exist in every version of Flash Player.

Re: One button controlling multiple buttons as3

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 03:57:32 GMT

One approach is to have the event handler of the button call all of the other button's event handler functions, passing its received event argument to them. If you were to name the other functions in some numeric pattern then you could loop thru them rather than writing each one out separately.

Another approach would be to have one single function that works for all the buttons where you test which button was clicked and decide which commands to execute.

One button controlling multiple buttons as3

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 02:36:58 GMT

I'm trying to follow a tutorial I found online for a randomly selected image without using an XML or AS file.

The problem is that I want to generate more than just one section, like generate an image from one group, and an image from another group, and etc etc. That's something I can do but there'd need to be a button for each group. It's not exactly horrible, but I was hoping to just have a "one button controls everything". So is there a basic code that will say "When this master button is clicked, all these other buttons are clicked"?

Here's the tutorial for reference.

var randNumb:uint = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6);

textResult.text = "You rolled "+randNumb;

finalTileNum+=randNumb;

finalTileNum=Math.min(finalTileNum,36);

dieMov.gotoAndStop(randNumb);

playerTimer.start();

}

function playerMoveF(e:TimerEvent):void{

if(currentTileNum<finalTileNum){

currentTileNum++;

player.x=this['tile_'+currentTileNum].x; // name your tiles, tile_1, tile_2,...,tile_36. // name your player marker player

player.y=this['tile_'+currentTileNum].y;

} else {

playerTimer.stop();

if(finalTileNum==36){

// game over. do whatever.

} else {

// take another turn. ie, re-roll the die.

}

Re: Dice and Board Game

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:02:14 GMT

My thought is that I'm using randNumb to move the player. So something must be wrong somewhere. Everything works except the strike through line which is the last statement. The purpose of the statement is to move the player on tiles base on dice result.

package{

import flash.display.*;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.text.*;

public class peaconty extends MovieClip{

//variables

public var rollBtn;

public var dieMov;

public var boardMov;

public var textResult;

public function peaconty() :void{

rollBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rollRandomNumber);

dieMov.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6));

boardMov.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6));

}

function rollRandomNumber(Event:MouseEvent) :void{

//trace(randNumb);

var randNumb:uint = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6);

textResult.text = "You rolled "+randNumb;

dieMov.gotoAndStop(randNumb);

boardMov.gotoAndStop((currentFrame) +(randNumb));

}

Nothing much in the files though, except look up; as you can see here:

The purpose of the game is instructional game, so it will later ''ve stuffs like quiz; but I want to take one step at a time. Thank you.

Re: adding and removing children with buttons

Why not just make the close button part of the object you are adding. You can assign it an event listener thru that object after it is created.

adding and removing children with buttons

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:47:47 GMT

So I've been following this tutorial (http://www.danfergusdesign.com/classfiles/oldClasses/VCB331-richMedia1/exercises/addingChi ldren.php) on how to add and remove children with buttons in order to create a popup box on the stage.

The part I'm having trouble with is how I add the close button to the stage on top of the popup box.

Re: Re: Access Variable on Main Timeline from Package

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:27:07 GMT

I agree with dmennenoh that it's probably best not to mix the two, but let's start out assuming you do mix the two, and also the following

Your instance is called assessment5Q
You have a frame script on the same frame with the label you want to get.

Your frame script might look like:

assessment5Q.loadQuestions(currentFrameLabel);

Your Assessment5Q Class would have a method that looks like:

public function loadQuestions(label:String):void {
    //do your current load here
}

Now that your Class is set up to work from a framescript, it will work from a Document Class without modification. However, it sounds like your instance doesn't exist on frame 1 of the main timeline, so you need to make sure you don't try to reference your instance before it exists. So we're going to make use of a getter/setter pair, which will allow Flash to create your instance on the timeline per usual, but when the setter is triggered you can then do things with the new instance. Your main document code would include code something like this:

protected var _assessment5Q;
public function get assessment5Q():Assessment5Q {
     return _assessment5Q;
}
public function set assessment5Q(value:Assessment5Q):void {
     If (_assessment5Q != value) {
          _assessment5Q=value;
          If (_assessment5Q) {
               _assessment5Q.loadQuestions(currentFrameLabel);
          }
     }
}

Note that even this better way is not a way I'd recommend if you expect your project to take longer than a couple of days to develop or be maintained over more than a couple of weeks. It's not good practice to have a single Class that has the responsibility for both getting the data and displaying it. If you only have a single question format, you may be able to get away with having a Class that loads the questions and makes questions from it. Then you can pass the loaded questions into your View as above (instead of using a method that takes a string, you can use a method that takes an array of questions).

It just so happens that I build Assessments as the vast majority of the work I do, and I have it broken down where there is a Class that has some number of Classes inside it that know how to build individual question types. That Class gets XML handed to it (from a different Class that just handles loading XML) and then it figures out which child Class knows how to build each question type and hands a snippet of XML to the appropriate child. Once all the questions are created, a set of questions will be handed into a View that can show between 1 and 9 questions. It does this by having individual question views on stage that, again, know about displaying specific types of questions. I'm not saying that you need to go whole hog into creating such a scalable design as I have. I'm just suggesting that your product is more likely to stand the test of time if you break things into smaller pieces that then cooperate. That way if the bigger pieces aren't quite right, you can put the smaller pieces together in a different way.

i don't download and correct files unless i'm hired. for free help, post to the adobe forums.

as a rule, if you state your issue clearly, and especially if you pinpoint the problem, you almost certainly will be helped free of charge. if you have a complex problem and especially if you require files to be downloaded, you almost certainly should consider hiring someone to help.

Re: Getting SWF file loading Error #2036 only few times

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:41:39 GMT

This is a problem with Adobe Flash Player. Sometimes it's not able load the external file. I found some other way that reduced the errors.

You may use this code inside ioError() function:

var swfUrl:String = "content/1-1-1.swf?="+Math.random();

loader.load(new URLRequest(swfUrl));

That means you may load the swf file again by adding query string. Please let me know if it's helpful or not.

I have exactly the same problem as you which accours at random try.

I already googled about 100 topics and didnt found working solution.

I already tried this simple solutions:

- check if path is correct - yes it is correct, coz error appears randomly (on few machines with Windows 7, on others not).

- check if file name is correct with case-sensitive - yes it is correct, coz error appears randomly (on few machines with Windows 7, on others not).

- use reference with Directory to avoid GC - no difference, error still appears.

- avoid cache with variable date timer in url - no difference, error still appears.

- clear all flash cache - no difference, error still appears.

- update your flash player - no difference, error still appears.

- check if flash has access to internet - yes it has, I tried to load other external file (different domain with allowed access) with success.

All computers use Windows 7 x86 with latest updates.

All computers uses the same flash versions.

Some computers keep getting this error for few days.

Other computers works fine in the same time.

That's what I've heard... how do I do that exactly? What do I change the "nc.connect("rtmfp:");" thing to?

Socket in AS3 uses TCP. I've used socket on several occasions for games and other things and it's quite reliable.

He must mean the back button in the browser - there is no other back button. And you can't from plain AS3 - you'll need to do it with JavaScript on the page - and also that is a terrible idea.

Re: Access Variable on Main Timeline from Package

It's class, not package and it's not a good idea to mix timeline code and code in classes. One or the other - and preferably classes.

What do you mean by "call a package"? Note that its almost never a good idea for children to know about their parents, so you may want to back up and state the larger goal. That way we can give you a solution that's better practice than what you are asking for.
