Actionscript 2 question

I have about ten days of actionscript experience. I'm taking
a break from the book and trying a few things on my own.
Anyway, I'm trying to set a boolean variable to true from
inside a movie so that it effects the actionscript on the _root
frame1.
Specifically, when the movie comes to it's last frame, I want
the variable "frame12" to be true and "pass(?)" this information
back to the main timeline and use it to start another movie.
Right now I've declared my variable on the _root like this:
var frame12:Boolean=false;
In the last frame of the movie I've put this:
frame12=true;
I'm going to put all the code I've written thus far. Any
suggestions or comments are appreciated. Like I said, it's not a
"project", just some experimenting so any comments are appreciated.

Thanks, that's helped. Now the variable frame12 is true, but
for some reason it becomes true before it gets to the last frame
where the code is: _root.frame12=true;
Here's some more detail: I have two instances of the same
movie. When the user releases myMovie1_mc.button1 of myMovie1_mc it
makes myMovie2_mc visible and plays the movie starting at frame-1
to frame-12 where it stops. When the user releases
myMovie2_mc.button1 of myMovie2_mc I would like it -- myMovie2_mc
-- to play to the last frame where _root.frame12=true would tell
myMovie1_mc to THEN play from frame-12 to the finish. The effect
would be, myMovie2_mc would be come invisible and THEN myMovie2_mc
would be come invisible.
But this doesn't happen.
Instead, when I release myMovie2_mc.button1 of myMovie2_mc,
both movies start playing from frame-12 before the variable frame12
has been turned to true.
Here's the code that applies:
myMovie1_mc.button1_mc.onRelease = function() {
myMovie2_mc.button1_mc.buttonText_txt = "parent";
myMovie2_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
myMovie2_mc._visible = true;
myMovie2_mc.button1_mc.onRelease = function() {
myMovie2_mc.gotoAndPlay(12);
//a test to make sure the button works
_root.gotoAndPlay("parent");
//should make myMovie1_mc play and does just not when I
expected
if (frame12=true){
myMovie1_mc.gotoAndPlay(12);
}...

ActionScript version question?

Hi, I need to make a flash game using action script and i have read some tutorials about it, most of them are using actionscript 2.0.
My question is, what do you think can happen if I use actionscript 2.0 instead of 3.0.
I mean, would it work correctly in the current browsers? sorry for asking this, maybe is a silly question, but flash and AS is not my everyday working tool.
I know that since actionscript3.0 is newer have some advantages, but since I dont have much time to do it, i´ll prefer to make it in AS 2.0 since i understand it better than AS 3.0.
If you have any comment, please let me know i will really appreciate it!
Thanks!

The Flash Player supports all versions of actionscript so if you are able to use AS2 to complete the design you should not have any problem.

Flash/ActionScript Interview Questions

We are currently hiring for a Flash position. I am trying to
come up with
some good ActionScript questions for the interviews. I have
looked all over
the net and can't seem to find anything like what I am
looking for.
I don't want general programming questions like "when would
you use an
interface class?" So far I have the following... feel free to
critique
these questions.
1. What are a few ways to cause an event to occur on a timed
basis?
2. How do you add a listener to another object? What are some
of the
built-in broadcasters?
3. How would you create and use a custom broadcaster for the
event
"onNextItem" broadcasting to the MovieClip "itemSheet"?
4. What are some of the primitive data types in Flash? What
would be a
foreseeable use of each?
5. What are some of the complex data types in Flash? What
could they be
used for?
6. Can you mix data types in an Array, what about an
associative Array
(Object)?
7. What are the two ways to create a new, empty object ready
for use?
8. What are the two ways to access a property of an object?
9. What are some methods for getting data from a web server
via the http
protocol?
10. Which built-in classes do you use the most?
11. Which third party classes/libraries do you use?
Please let me know if you can think of any others.
Thanks

Whic are good for Interview and Adobe Flash Developer Cirtification.

Animated .gif actionscript 3 question

I hqve some small swfs that I need to convert to animated .gifs for
a client. I assumed this this was a painless task but I was oh so wrong as the bigger the swf the worse
the animated gif looks. But I have some small.swfs I need to convert and I did and they do not look bad but my problem is the swf had clikTag info in it for googleadwords. When I converted to animated .gif the file does not have any actions inside, which leads me to ask how do I pass actionscript to an animated .gif done in Flash?
anybody??

HTML links are likely your only recourse. If you need help with that, visit the Dreamweaver or web design forums. They might have some alternative approaches to offer as well, possibly using javascript or something along those lines.

Hello, Actionscript 3 question. please help!

Hello, I'm new to Actionscript 3 and still getting the hang of all the changes and such. However, one problem is sorely annoying me, and I need some outside opinions on what could be wrong. The code is basically a rewritten version of some code I found someplace else, and my main goal is to find out the error with the code. The code looks like:
package
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Main extends MovieClip
var sceneOne:SceneOne;
var sceneTwo:SceneTwo;
var sceneThree:SceneThree;
public function Main()
sceneOne = new SceneOne(); trace("Working");
sceneTwo = new SceneTwo(); trace("Working");
sceneThree = new SceneThree(); trace("Working");
addChild(sceneOne); trace("Working");
//Add event listeners
this.sceneTwo.OutsideButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHillButtonClick); trace("Working");
this.sceneTwo.bathroomButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPondButtonClick); trace("Working");
this.sceneOne.livingRoomButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBackButtonClick_Hill); trace("Working");
this.sceneThree.livingRoomButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBackButtonClick_Pond); trace("Working");
//Event handlers
function onHillButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
addChild(sceneOne);
removeChild(sceneTwo);
function onPondButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
addChild(sceneThree);
removeChild(sceneTwo);
function onBackButtonClick_Hill(event:MouseEvent):void
addChild(sceneTwo);
removeChild(sceneOne);
function onBackButtonClick_Pond(event:MouseEvent):void
addChild(sceneTwo);
removeChild(sceneThree);
The error is occuring @ line 22, saying:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at Main()[/Users/Mike/Documents/Main.as:22]
I'm unsure as to what the problem is, as I give it properties. Please help, thank you.

I think you should rethink the way you're constructing this...
I could be wrong but it has some flaws... example:
[email protected] wrote:
function onBackButtonClick_Hill(event:MouseEvent):void{
addChild(sceneTwo);
removeChild(sceneOne);
looking to this function, I imagine a situation when you click a button to run this function...
it will add "sceneTwo" to the stage and remove sceneOne... Ok!, but what if we were on sceneThree and not on sceneOne?
It will try to remove a scene that doesn't exist.
If that's the problem, you could solve it by using if statements for example.
Another way is to create a var called something like "currentScene" and at the end of every function/method you first remove the currentScene, then add the new child and set it as your "new" currentScene.
Well, it's just a guess anyway
I'm going to sleep now
Hope you solve your problem.

Beginner Actionscript Resource Question

Are there any good resources that explain how to set up a .as file to run a flash app? I've purchased two books and they both utterly suck at this. This should be easy material, but I can't find anything. I don't want to code in the timeline. I don't want to buy another book for this.
Thanks for any help.

if you want to use a .as file without code, you are basically screwed. .as files are code, and the file does not have any way to know you want to use it without you explicity telling it to use it. if the file is in the same work directory of the rest of your project, you dont have to do that much, you can use it as you would any code written in the same movie, if you are using a class declaration (but the filename of the .as should be the same name as the class declared inside). if you are keeping this file in some other directory, you must use 'packgage' and import declarations according to your file tree structure
filename example.as
package {
public class example { // extends Sprite {
public static function example_func():void {
trace("called from a movie");
} //example_func
}//class
}package
_________in a movie inside the same directory:
example.example_func();

Can Actionscript do user forms and image generation ?

Hi all,
I need to build a web application in flash, the gist is the application takes users inputs and generates a network diagram based on that inputs.
I actually coded the entire application in JS DOM and PHP GD, and client comes back suddenly saying they cant support PHP (IT restrictions). So now am back to square one, wondering, how to draw network images dynamically. JS cant do it. So I stumbled upon Actionscript.
So if i were to code an application entirely in actionscript,
My questions,
1. Does actionscript provide me a way to create input fields (select, text, textarea...etc)
2. Would i be able to use these user inputs from Question 1 to generate a network diagram ?
3. Can actionscript do Question's 1 and 2 without needing support from a server side
     scripting language like PHP ?
If somebody can help me understand, that would be very helpful. Thanks.
Rgds,
Kris

Thanks for the response.
However it still doesnt answer my question.
I cannot have a side side language(PHP, .NET ..etc) involved at all.
All i want to do it, design a form in FLEX and then without sending the form to the server side, i just want to read the fields (on an event) from the client side and do my processing on the client side and show the results again on the client side.
For example (HTML/JS)
Field A: <input type='text' id='one' name = 'one' /> <BR> <input type ='button' id='button' value='Generate' onclick = 'submitForm()' />
<script>
     function submitForm(){
          document.write(document.getElementById('one').value);
          return;
</script>
With the above example, i dont need server side support at all. Can i do the same thing with FLEX.
My only reason for trying FLEX is , i need to dynamically generate an image based the input values chosen by the user.
So keeping the above example in perspective, can i just read that particular text field and generate an image and label/embed the value in that image appropriately ?
any help would be very helpful. Thanks.

Can't get there frome here... (CSS button not working)

Hi All,
can someone look here and let me know why my 'Service' button only works once? When you drill down to, say... "Project Management," the service button from all subpages will not work. You have to goto another banner/header option (ex: about us) and click "Service" again to get to the main service page once more.
FYI: Novice with CSS - this is a store bought template
Thank You,
Luna

This is really a ActionScript (Flash) question since your Primary Navigation is Flash. The AS (ActionScript) is coded to disable after clicking to it's parent page.
Since the child pages are under the parent the nav is still disabled. You would have to recode the AS (Flash Nav) to enable when navigationing to it's child page.

Newbie questions on fms and actionscript 3

Ok, like I said I'm a newbie, but I do understand the differance between ssas and as3. Not all, but all most everything I see written in SSAS can be writen into a external AS3 file. This leads me to quite a few questions I'm hoping you kind people can shed some light on for me.
1) What is the advantage of writing a SSAS file over an external AS3 file?
2) Can I write an .asc file in AS3 or do I have to use AS1? Please understand I'm using tuts from fmsguru.com and the books "Learning Flash Media Server" (pdf) and "Programming Flash Communication Server". I'm not a javascript programmer so nothing I do in AS1 seems to make any sence while everything I do in AS3 does. It may not seem like it to you people that are programmers, but to those of us that aren't, AS1 and AS3 are miles apart.
3) kind of off topic, but a security question. I'm not a "hacker" and don't like the jerks that are. My question is on external AS / SSAS files and swf files. When my fla is compiled into a swf does my external AS files remain external? I assume they do, but then what is the threat of the swf being decompiled? In most projects I would do I could care less if somebody had access to my fla as long as they don't have my actionscript files.
I don't know. Maybe on questions one and two I'm getting confused becasue I'm using out dated material. Again I assume that even though fms was built off of the javascript engine it should be able to read and execute my AS3 file. Other wise what was the point of the evolution of actionscript into a fully functional programming language?
Thanks for any help you might have...

1) I did not get this question correcly - for that matter SSAS can only be in AS1 - so i dont see reason comparing them
2) It has to be AS1
3) if you doing "include" stuff - i think code would go into compiled swf and proper decompiler would give you the code.
Last para - Server-side engine understands only AS1 so it wont be able to read and understand your AS3 file.

Actionscript 3.0 question

Hi, all
I absolutely do not know Actionscript 3.0 syntax and need to fix this FAST (of course).
I named my instance, and used this code snippet. It works:
thirtyYearFixed.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_3);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_3(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the previous code, actionscript 2.0 which is pulling dynamic data from the xml:
on(release) {
    getURL(clickTAG + "?*", "_blank");
THE QUESTION:
how do I get it to link to the clickTAG, dynamic data (instead of http://www.adobe.com)

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and showEffect in Actionscript

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and
showEffect in Actionscript
Please kindly take a look at the following page:
http://camusmiu.no-ip.com/HounganQuestion/PictureHolderTest.html
(can view source)
I tried to make an image preloaded and scale the image to
it's preferred size.
When I came to consolidate the stuff into a component, I
found the application goes weird as I implementation the show/hide
effect.
The third trial which just hide and show the images directly,
instead of using viewstack, fail to bring the second image onto
screen.
It just used fadeOut instead of fadeIn(you see there is a
flash of the second image)
After some study of showEffect and hideEffect behaviour,
seems the mechanism of hide/show a component works in this way:
this._fadeIn:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeIn.alphaFrom = 0;
this._fadeIn.alphaTo = 1;
this._fadeIn.duration = 1000;
this._fadeOut:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeOut.alphaFrom = 1;
this._fadeOut.alphaTo = 0;
this._fadeOut.duration = 1000;
Component_A.visible = true;
Component_A.setStyle("showEffect", this._fadeIn);
Component_A.setStyle("hideEffect", this._fadeOut);
then when I set Component_A.visible = false, the sequence
works like following:
Component_A.visible = true
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = false;
The above sequence works visa versa as:
Component_A.visible = false;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true;
(Correct me if i am wrong)
========================================================================================== ====
From what I observe from the application, I have two
question.
1) When more than one component using the this._fadeIn,
this_fadeOut as the hide/show effects, the component in instance of
this._fadeIn? will it mess out if more than one component using the
fadeIn instance in the same time?
2) from the third component, i.e. PictureHolder3, when I load
other the picture , it fade out the new image instead of fading
in... Seems there is problem if I hide show too frequent. I think
when I hide then show right the way, the component only do the hide
part...
Can someone pls look into it and tell me what I did wrong?
Cuz in normal practice I don't think appropriate to use ViewStack
in Actionscript...

Hello Jack,
Currently, you can only import an swf file or you can embed videos from youtube, vimeo etc. into Muse / add HTML5 Video to Your Website.
Take a look at these simple videos that explain the currently available processes for adding videos in Muse, in a step by step method:

Basic question about Actionscript and symbols

I like the object oriented features of actionscript (2.0).
One thing confuses me tho, namely the combination of symbol classes
and constructors. Since symbols can't be instanciated by new
SomeMovie(...), but rather has to be created with attachMovie(), it
seems to me that there is no use of constructors for symbols.
Instead you have to send an init object in the attachMovie() call.
This seems to me to be lacking in logic. It would be much more
logical if you could do:
var m = new MyMovie(constructor arguments...);
destinationClip.attachMovie(m);
Am I correct that this way of doing it is not possible in
current actionscript?
And second, don't you agree this would be a more consistent
use of the actionscript language?

First, I just wanna thank u for replying. I still have some
follow up questions that I think are of interest:
About the first issue of constructors u say they
automatically gets called. But isn't it true that only a
constructor that takes no arguments can be automatically called?
Because, how could a constructor call with arguments MyMovie(x, y,
size, etc), be automatically called? My point is, that it would be
more neat to send the parameters thru the constructor, than thru an
init object. Also, I wonder why u think constructors are error
prone. Maybe they are error prone exactly because
Flash/actionscript invites to an inconsistent way of initializing
MovieClips and other object instances?
Second, u say that attaching a class to a MovieClip should be
avoided unless all or most of the functionality of the MovieClip
Class is needed. I usually attach a class a MovieClip that needs
some code to describe its behaviour. In practice, I think the only
essential method that I need from MovieClip is the onEnterFrame().
Are you suggesting that it would be better to skip onEnterFrame in
individual objects, and rather loop over some array to make all
objects get their command to do their thing? I thought the good
thing about onEnterFrame was that I could avoid having to traverse
arrays of objects, and instead let Flash itself call all objects
that need to be updated each frame.
Third, I would like to repeat the benefit of not having to
create variable names as attachMovie requires. For instance, assume
alot of clips are being attached to the same containing clip. Now u
have to make sure that all attached clips get different variable
names, or strange things will happen. But if attachMovie just took
a reference to a clip as parameter u would avoid that problem.
If u know some document that discusses these issues, i would
be happy if anyone had a link to it. My suggestion to the Flash
developers is to make MovieClip objects consistent with ordinary
objects.

How to set an actionscript class runnable + some question?

Dear all,
i am new to actionscript (Flex 3).
i am from java camp and i want to achive some java-style functionality in actionscript,and hope you can help me:
1. how to set an actionscript class runnable??
      in java, i just add a "public static void main(String[] args)" method which will be the program entry point. (IDE, right click the class and click run)
      i can't set a plain, ordinary actionscript runnable in flex builder.
      To test the class, i have to create an mxml (which in turn invoke the testing class) and it be runnable in the flex builder 3.
      any other way to ease the testing?
   2. it there any good 3rd party library for datatype conversion ? (e.g. string <> date, the build-in DateFormatter don't accept milliseconds)...
       it seems actionscript come with limited such kind of utility function
   3. in a custom mxml component, which contains several controls (say testboxes, comboboxes)...etc,
       for information hiding/prevent others to change the child controls in the custom component, how can i hide the child control, not allow
       other code to access the child by "Component.textbox1"....any scope modifier, e.g. protected, private...etc in mxml?
   thank you.
ppk luk

Hi Alex,
for question 3:
i just wondering if it is ok or not for better code/validation.....(and it follow the good
information hiding principle?)
if i write the component in actionscript only, i can set the child control with scope modifier
'private' or 'protected'..so that the component user can't just use the dot syntax to gain
access to the child control,
e.g. MyComponent.childControlTextInputBox.value = "A";...
i want to force user to use MyComponent.setInputBoxValue("A")...
(e.g. in this method, i can do some checking/validate before passing to the textbox)
this can enforce the data consistency in my custom UI component...
there is no way to achieve the same effect in MXML?
(e..g <mx:TextInput id="privateChildControl" accessScope="private" .../>)
thank you..

Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

Hi, All
I have question about how to get dataset from web services
and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
I have no problem to get data by
<mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
/>
And display in datagrid.
But when I try to use
public function
handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
2, how to convert data format
I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
structure, as mention below:
I get:
<Array>
<id>111</id>
<Name>Production1</Name>
</Array>
<Array>
<id>222</id>
<Name>Production2</Name>
</Array>
Convert to:
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node>
<node label="Production1" data="111">
<node label="Production2" data="222"/>
</node>
</node>
</mx:XMLList>
Please help me.
Thanks.

First, don't specify the package path in the argument
declaration. Instead import the event object:
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
The docs state this emphatically.
Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
for the event object, but maybe not.
Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
you wish.
