Action script 3 onClipEvent

i was reading a tutorial for a little game and when ever i
try to run it, i get the error " 1087: Syntax error: extra
characters found after end of program. onClipEvent (enterFrame) { "
the code is:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x--;
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x++;
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_y--;
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
_y++;
it seems to work for everyone else. Your help is greatly
appreciated.

if you're using as 3, there's is no onClipEvent() and there
is no code that can be attached to an object. read the help files,
programming with actionscript 3.

Hey thnx Ned.
this sites are really helpful.but,i have used sound through button.so how it is possible to attavh the link with slider.i have created slider also.
Below is my slider code for sound.
onClipEvent (load) {
    mySound1 = new Sound();
    mySound1.loadSound((myScale)+"/"+(myTanpura)+"/"+(myTanpuraSwar)+"/"+(myTanpuraTempo)+".w av", true);
    mySound1.onSoundComplete = function() {
    mySound1.start();
    mySound1.start(0.058,999);
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    downloaded = mySound1.getBytesLoaded();
    total = mySound1.getBytesTotal();
    if (downloaded != total) {
        _root.dl = "You have to buy this software...";
    } else {
        complete = 1;
        _root.dl = "";
    mySound1.setVolume(ratio * 2);
This code is working for slider.I mean it scrolls the slider.but it dosent make any effect to sound.
Below is my button code.
stop();
mySoundBtn4.onRelease = function () {
          mySoundC = new Sound(this);
          mySoundC.attachSound("mySoundClip4");
          mySoundC.start(0, 300); //10 represents the number of loops
          gotoAndPlay("play1");
this is on button's frame.not exactly on button.
Button and Slider both are on diffrent scene.
Can you plese help me out?

Where do I find anm experienced Action Scripted fast?

Hi,
I have a Flash presentation which needs completed. Basically,
all of the buttons need programmed and as a newbie who is running
out of time to learn, I need some help.
First, I'd like to know where you find people who can do this
(here?)
Secondly, how long it would take to programme approx 875
buttons (many of which are repetitions (e.g home button, help
button, exit button appearing on every screen). There are
approximately 109 screens which need to be linked.
Thirdly, what would be a realistic price to expect to pay for
someone to do this? It is a non-profitmaking project for a
voluntary organisation.
Thanks

Okay.

Okay, the on() event handler may not belong here. The on()
and
onClipEvent() functions are an older (Flash 5 era) way to
handle events in
ActionScript. They're still available in Flash 8, and they
work just fine,
even in AS2, but these are applied *directly to* the object
in question; as
in, you click your button to select it, then type into the
Actions panel
while the button is selected. In such a case, no instance
name is needed
for the button (or whatever object). The above code would
have to be
attached to each button -- which really gets old with a large
number of
buttons -- and the stop(); action would have ben appear
inside the on()
function.
Your earlier approach -- where you referenced the button's
instance name
and assign a function to the Button.onRelease event -- is the
recommended
best practice, and has been available since Flash MX (aka
Flash 6). There's
nothing about your earlier code that shouldn't have worked --
it's just you
*might* have been experiencing the Scenes-related bug I
mentioned.
I would change your previous code as follows:
// in a frame script ...
stop();
skipintro_btn.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop("frame label here");
That stops the timeline in which this ActionScript appears.
Then it
assigns a function literal to the Button.onRelease event of
the button
symbol whose instance name is skipintro_btn (if that object
is actually a
movie clip, then it assigns a function literal to the
MovieClip.onRelease
event of that instance -- funtionally the same thing). Then
it refers to
the parent of this object, which is the timeline in which the
object
appears, and tells that timeline to gotoAndStop() at the
named frame label
you provide -- even if that frame label is in another scene.
Make sense?
> Are there any good Action Script books you could
> recommend?
There are quite a few good ones on the market lately, but
the last I can
think of that I enjoyed -- from a general programming
standpoint -- is
Object-Oriented ActionScript For Flash 8 (Friends of ED), by
Peter Elst and
Todd Yard.

You shouldn't have any problems. As long as you use the
frame labels
approach and avoid Scene names, Flash Player 9 will run it
the same as older
Players. Flash Player 9 is the first to feature *two* virtual
machines for
ActionScript. One is the overhauled AS3-lovin' machine; the
other maintains
backward compatability for AS1 and AS2.

Right, but you don't have to worry about that. :) The Scenes
issue is
an old one, and it is a big problem, but at least the
workaround is easy
(frame labels).

Action script 2 not working

New to Flash CS4, but could do basic button stuff like this in Flash MX 2004. (Haven't been doing anything with Flash in the meantime, but now have CS4 and am determined to get back into it.)
I chose Action script 2 when starting, and in the publish settings. Made some very simple buttons and used the action script assistant but cannot figure out why they are not working. i keep going around and around and getting nowhere.
would someone please take a look and advise? I am STUCK.
Please?
the file is too big to attach, but if anybody is willing to help, i'll share the file via my iDisk. Thanks so much.

I have a few suggestions for you -- not that you asked, but hey it is a free forum with volunteers, so you get what you get!
First if you really don't know AS2 all that well, but you want to get into coding I would suggest starting with AS3. It is the future and if you have to learn new stuff it might as well be the newest, new stuff. AS3 is the future of Actionscript and Flash. It is a little more complex in some respects, but in many others it isn't that much more difficult and it really helps if you haven't learned all kinds of "bad" ideas from how AS2 was....
Next, if you decide to stick with AS2, I would suggest learning the latest ways of doing stuff in AS2. Using the on(event) type of coding is really old and it won't serve you well if you want to advance very far with your coding.Here is a great article on the transition to the newer style and why it is a good idea:
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onclipevent
After that, consider ditching buttons all together. They are really twitchy and strange and most people I know gave them up when movieclips could have button events attached to them.
Finally on the issue of Scenes, they are a great way for timeline animators to organize their content. And they are great when everything is just played back to back. In fact that is what happens to scenes, when you publish the timelines are strung together in sequence and then the "scenes" are deleted. The whole thing becomes just one big long timeline. The problems come in when you start using code to move the playhead around. The documentation seems pretty straight forward and it should work, but there are just several little tricky things where it doesn't work. Sounds can cause problems too. So if you plan to use code I always recommend that you use movieclips to organize your "scenes" and not the actual scenes....

Alpha action script error

I would like to have several movie clips fade with action
script instead of tediously tweening them all, but am having
trouble. Action script is certainly not my strong point, maybe
someone can spot what I am doing wrong, and explain in kindergarten
terms?
I opened a new document, created an object, turned it into a
movie clip, deleted it from the stage, drug it from the library
back onto the stage and named it myAlpha in the MC instance name
form. It is sitting in Layer 2. Then I attached the following
script.
onClipEvent(load){
myAlpha=0;
this._alpha=myAlpha;
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (myAlpha <=100){
myAlpha=myAlpha +1;
this._alpha=myAlpha;
} else {
stop();
However when I test the movie I always get the following
errors:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 5:
Statement block must be terminated by '}'
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 11:
Syntax error.
Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

In kindergarten terms, start counting. Every time you see a {
add one, every time you see a } subtract one. If you get to the end
and the total isn't zero you have mismatched braces. Which is
exactly what the error is telling you.
In this case just add one more } to the end and they will
match.

How do I use the button states in an action script?

In my Captivate 8 project I use smart shape as buttons. The buttons have different images presented dependent on the state of the button. I have also created a simple action script that shows what happens when the button is pressed. When the button has been pressed the normal state of the button appear. I, however, want the down state of the button to remain visible util the user presses another button. How do I accomplish this? Is there variables for the buttons different state or how can I create that?
BR,
Madeleine

When you talk about 'actionscript' do you mean advanced or shared actions? You cannot write actionscript within Captivate, only Javascript. If you use advanced/shared actions they'll be converted on runtime to either Actionscript (for SWF output) or Javascript (for HTML5 output).
The states in shape buttons are the normal way buttons behave (not only in Flash). If you are indeed using shared/advanced actions, and you want the down state to remain until the next shape button is clicked, you'll have to go the way described by iFlashAppsToo. Create shapes that have the look of the down state, make them initially invisible and group all those shapes on one slide. Add two statements to the shared/advanced action (please do use shared actions, you'll save time):
Hide Group so that eventual down mimicked states on previously clicked buttons disappear
Show Im_Downx to show the down image for that button

Adding data to cfgrid using action script

how can i add data to a grid row called name in action
script. i have a cfselect control containing name of students and i
want to add the values of the selected student from the list to
grid.

Did you add your instance of SpectrumCanvas to the stage with addChild()?
If so, you should boil your posted code to a more simple example.

Error message with Action Script 2.0 file

Hi,
I am trying to edit an old flash file that uses Action Script 2.0. I am using CS6 and keep getting the following error message after publishing:
Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 5, Column 29
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type String.
Can you suggest any fixes or workarounds? I also have Flash 4.0. Can i downsave the file? If so, how?
Thanks!

Thank you. I think that did fix the original two errors. But now upon test of the file, I get some new errors:
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 3
1120: Access of undefined property ratio.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 20
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method number.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 27
1120: Access of undefined property _root.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 9, Column 27
1120: Access of undefined property ratio.
And on the MoneySlide layer in Actions:
this.ratio = 0;
this.loadBar._width = 0;
this.dragger.ratio.text= "$0";
dragger.onPress=function(){
          this.startDrag(true,0,0,line._width,0);
          this.onEnterFrame=function(){
                    ratio=Math.round(number(_root.transitBenefitLimit/100)*(this._x/(line._width/10 0)));
                    loadBar._width = Math.round(this._x);
                    dragger.ratio.text= "$"+ratio;
dragger.onRelease=dragger.onReleaseOutside=stopDrag;

Using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

Thanks for your swift response.
That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this
timer = 0;
countup = function(){
timer++;
countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);
If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.
I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.
Hope this makes sense.

Error while loading an child movieclip if the child has any action script

Hi
I am developing an application where I need to load a child.swf . All works fine when I load the mc but as soon as I add Action Script (lets say trace("test")) to the Child.swf I get a Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. On the addChild line.
Code
trace("Toothpaste click");
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Child);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
mcContainer.addChild(mLoader);

Sorry.Thanks
Typo on the forum.
I can load the child.swf see the image/text in the child displayed in the parent but as soon as I add as3 to the child page I receive the above mentioned error. If I run the child.swf from the IDE or by itself everything works fine .
trace("Toothpaste click");
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Child.swf");
mLoader.load(mRequest);
mcContainer.addChild(mLoader);

Could someone help me with my action script?

I followed a tutorial on how to make an interactive photo gallery but for some reason the file isn't working. I am new to flash and no very little about action script.
Would someone be willing to take a look at my file and advise me?
Thanks

Did your tutorial have you download XML from a server to feed the images to the gallery? Many people forget to check for errors loading the XML file or forget to "do something" once the XML is loaded. Common things not to look for are IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR or SecurotyErrorEvents warning you the XML you're trying to load is on a different domain (a webserver online) and it doesn't have permission (a crossdomain.xml).
In those situations it can appear like it's doing nothing.
Did you just take the code of the tutorial at the end and try to play it as you went through the tutorial? If you just copy and pasted it all you'lre going to have a hard time isolating the issue. In that case you can always re-do the tutorial until you start to see issues. Then you know where they are.

Setting timeout settings for Action Scripts

We are using OIM 11gR1 along with the AD and Domino connectors. We are also using Action Scripts to perform some post create actions on the AD and Domino resources that get created by OIM. The action scripts are being invoked with the correct set of parameters and they do their job. However for both connectors, the connector server (Java connector server for Domino, .NET connector server for AD) times out when waiting for the script to complete. Our scripts are expected to take a long time (30+ seconds).
Based on our testing, the AD connector times out in 30 seconds, and the Domino connector times out in 20 seconds. You would get the below exception in your Java Connector Server log file:
Dec 4, 2013 2:36:41 PM org.identityconnectors.framework.api.operations.ScriptOnConnectorApiOp runScriptOnConnector
FINE: Exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Timeout waiting for action, process was terminated
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni._executeWinCommand(Native Method)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni.executeWinCommand(WinJni.java:31)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.executeCmdScript(ScriptOnConnector.java:143)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.runScriptOnConnector(ScriptOnConnector.java:88)
    at org.identityconnectors.domino.DominoConnector.runScriptOnConnector(DominoConnector.java:316)
Is there any way to configure OIM so that it waits longer for the action script to complete. The real problem over here is that if 2 users are being provisioned to AD and/or Domino simultaneously (we use access policies to trigger provisioning rules), then the connector (Java or .NET) does NOT invoke the action script for the second user if the action script for the first user times out. It does however create AD/Domino resources for all applicable users. This in itself is a defect - but I need a workaround.
Looking at some old Sun Identity Manager documentation (which became Oracle Waveset), it seems that the entire OIM concept of action scripts has its origins in Sun Identity Manager/Oracle Waveset. And these products did support the notion of timeouts. Have a look at :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19225-01/821-0092/bzbuc/index.html
Does anyone familiar with Oracle OIM code know if custom timeouts are supported by AD and Domino connectors?
Thanks

Is Import to DRM by action script the only way to build hierarchies?

Hi,
If I am getting by source file as a big generation wise excel format and even properties in excel sheet with large number of custom property field values.
Is making a Import action script out of the excel to load to DRM is the only way, or do we hav any other option to load these hierechies to DRM from excel without going fpr manual efforts in making scripts one by one for large no of dimensions.

hi, the import functionality can build hierarchies. It has a draw back of only building NEW hierarchies. So if your source master hierarchy is external to DRM, action script or API is best way, if it is to be automated. If this is only be imported/updated once a month the import can be used to create the "new" version. You can use then blend update your old version.
