Flash 8 Actionscript Tutorial problem
I have followed the following instructions to the letter
(several times) but the button script won't activate a URL and I
get an error message from Flash 8 which I'll show after this:
1.Select the invisible button on the Stage.
Open the Property inspector (Window > Properties), and
find the Instance Name text box in the Property inspector.
Type inv_btn into the Instance Name text box.
Select Insert > Timeline > Layer to insert a new layer,
and then rename the new layer to actions.
Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions), and then select
Frame 1 of the actions layer.
Type the following ActionScript into the script pane (the
editable text field) in the Actions panel:
inv_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("
http://gnome.deseloper.com",
"_blank");
This does not work. Here is the error message:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=button, frame=1:Line 1:
Statement must appear within on handler
inv_btn.onRelease = function(){
As this script was copied directly from the tutorial text,
and I have never scripted anything before, I am at a loss to
explain this or how to make it work. Can anyone help me?
I'll approach this from the opposite end... replace the code
you have with:
on(release){
getURL("
http://gnome.deseloper.com",
"_blank");
If that works, then the problem is that you didn't put the
code where the instructions you show indicated you should. For what
you did, the code I just showed is appropriate (though not a good
practice because it is hidden from easy review). It's better to
keep your code in the timeline where it can be easily found.
You will have selected the button and then typed the code in
the actionscript editor. Instead, you need to
click on the frame in the (separate) actions layer in the
main timeline that you should have made already, not the button
layer, and then place that code from the tutorial in the
actionscript editor window.

Flash 8 - actionscript button problem
Hi all,
I created a button "place holder" (until I had time to design
my own) on an object using the standard button component, this
worked great. When I replaced it with my own user defined button it
stopped working. The object has the same name and is referenced
identically.
Can anyone explain this weird behaviour?
Here is my code (worked for standard button but not for user
defined)
var invMenuState:Number = 0;
// function for the Next button
function inventorySlider(eventObj:Object) {
switch(invMenuState) {
case 0:
inventory_mc.gotoAndPlay("slideUp");
invMenuState = 1;
break;
case 1:
inventory_mc.gotoAndPlay("slideDown");
invMenuState = 0;
// add the event listener for the button
inventory_mc["inventory_bx"]["inventory_btn"].addEventListener("click",
inventorySlider);
thanks,
Paul.i think you're confused between the button component and the
button class - not that hard to do really, thinking about it.
as kglad mentioned, button symbols require handlers from the
button class such as onPress which is the equivalent to the line of
code you were using with your button component. -
Using Dreamweaver MX to edit pages with Flash 9 Actionscript 3
I designed a site using CS3 and used Actionscript 3 and Flash
9 for a banner on the site.
The site pages will now be edited and updated by the owners
who have Dreamweaver MX 2004.
Is there going to be any problems or errors that can be
expected regarding the Flash banner/Actionscript? The owner will
not be editing the banner just updating some page content.

No problem.
If they aren't updating that part of the page then nothing
will be
altered in terms of the code so it will continue to work.
A page is only html and can be edited in any html editor or
text editor.
I don't know how the owners are going to update the pages but
of course
by giving them access to all of the code they can ruin
everything if
they don't know what their doing........theres nothing you
can do about
that unless you create some sort of Content Management
System, which
only allows them to alter specific parts of the code. -

if (mouseX < 220) {
diff = (220-mouseX)/15;
if (mouseX <= 250 && menuX <= 56) {
setProperty("menu", _x, menuX+diff);
if (mouseX >= 250 && menuX >= -204) {
setProperty("menu", _x, menuX-diff);
if (menu._x >= 56) {

Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
files, and
has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
doesn't
matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
files; they
can be inserted into a web page in any version of
Dreamweaver.

Loading text file with flash lite 3.0 problem
Hello,
I recently ran into a problem with loading a plain text file with Flash Lite 3.0.
I know there is a way to load name/value pairs using LoadVars class or XML file using XML class. Both methods work great, but these classes parse the data loaded and I need to load just a plain text - no pairs or xml structure. (its because Im loading specific file format, so I can't make any changes to it)
There is a simple way how to achieve this in Flash using Actionscript 2 by extending the LoadVars class and overriding the onData() method. I used it plenty of times and it works fine.
There is an example of implementation:
// the PlainData.as file
class PlainData extends LoadVars {
function onData(str) {
trace(str)
this.onLoad(true);
// now in the main file
var my_data:PlainData = new PlainData();
my_data.load("my3dmodel.obj");
This code traces unchanged content of my3dmodel.obj file.
The problem comes when I try to run this code using Flash Lite 3.0. The code stops working just by changing player version in publish settings to Flash Lite 3.0. It doesnt display any error, but also doesnt trace any content.
Is there a reason why you cant override onData method in LoadVars class in lite version of flash or am I doing something wrong?
(also overriding onLoad() method works fine in Flash Lite)
OndrejThanks Man
But i m very unhappy !!! :-(

Stop and Play All Child MovieClips in Flash with Actionscript 3.0
I am stuck with the ActionScript here. I have a very complex animated flash movie for eLearning. These contain around 10 to 15 frames. In each frame I am having multiple movie clip symbols. The animation has been created using a blend of scripting and also normal flash animation.
Now I want to create pause and play functionality for the entire movie. I was able to create the pause function but when i try to play the movie it behaves very strange.
I was able to develop the pause functionality by refering to the below mentioned links:
http://www.unfocus.com/2009/12/07/stop-all-child-movieclips-in-flash-with-actionscript-3-0 /
http://www.curiousfind.com/blog/174
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated as i am approaching a deadline.
I am pasting the code below:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
// function to stop all movieclips
function stopAll(content:DisplayObjectContainer):void
if (content is MovieClip)
(content as MovieClip).stop();
if (content.numChildren)
var child:DisplayObjectContainer;
for (var i:int, n:int = content.numChildren; i < n; ++i)
if (content.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer)
child = content.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObjectContainer;
if (child.numChildren)
stopAll(child);
else if (child is MovieClip)
(child as MovieClip).stop();
// function to play all movieclips
function playAll(content:DisplayObjectContainer):void
if (content is MovieClip)
var movieClip:MovieClip = content as MovieClip;
if (movieClip.currentFrame < movieClip.totalFrames) // if the main timeline has reached the end, don't play it
movieClip.gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);
if (content.numChildren)
var child:DisplayObjectContainer;
var n:int = content.numChildren;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
if (content.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer)
child = content.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObjectContainer;
if (child.numChildren)
playAll(child);
else if (child is MovieClip)
var childMovieClip:MovieClip = child as MovieClip;
if (childMovieClip.currentFrame < childMovieClip.totalFrames)
//childMovieClip.play();
childMovieClip.play();
function resetMovieClip(movieClip:MovieClip):MovieClip
var sourceClass:Class = movieClip.constructor;
var resetMovieClip:MovieClip = new sourceClass();
return resetMovieClip;
pauseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickStop_1);
function onClickStop_1(evt:MouseEvent):void

myTimer.stop();
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickPlay_1);
function onClickPlay_1(evt:MouseEvent):void

I mean to say that though it stops at certain keyframes in the timeline it stops for only a certain time and then moves on to the next animation sequence.
Its not an application where the user can interact.
On clicking the play button i want the movie to play normally as it was playing before. If the user has not clicked on the pause button it would anyhow play from start to finish.
Is there anyway where i could send in the fla file? -
I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue.

Working only with Flash Builder 4 to compile, but you can switch the flash player versions anyway.
And when my flash version is up to 10.1 the trace console commes crazy, and brokes the debbug session.
But never mind, i did kill the OS already in order to keep working. -
How to Setup Flash Builder ActionScript only project for iPad?
Hello!
Can someone give a short guide on how to setup an ActionScript only prject in flash builder such that it can be compiled using adt and deployed to the iPad?
i created successfully iphone games using FlashIDE and PFI.
now I'd like to create an iPad app using Flash Builder (ActionScript only). but I fail to load the compiled IPA to the ipad, keep getting different errormessages thus i think something with my projectsetup is wrongYes, in Terminal you type a single line which is made from the path to the adt application, some parameters, and paths to other documents. Here's the full list of things:
/Location/to/AdobeAIRSDK_2.6/bin/adt
-package
-target ipa-test
-provisioning-profile /Location/to/Provision.mobileprovision
-storetype pkcs12
-keystore /Location/to/Certificates.p12
-storepass password
NameOfApp.ipa ApplicationDescriptor-app.xml
-C /Location/to/swf NameOfApp.swf
splashscreens
icons
That "-C" line is clever, it does a directory change to the folder you give it, so after the -C /location/to/swf part it will then look in that same folder for other documents, and for where to build the IPA file. -
Write to and read from TCP/IP address using Flash and Actionscript
Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie with flash and Actionscript. I have been programming for a number of years now, but I have only been messing around with flash since CS4. I have CS5 now, and need a bit of help. I have a wireless device that I have made, I wish to make a flash program (potentially adapted to iPhone or Android) that sends and receives data (in the form of Word or Byte sized variables) from an IP address assigned to the device. Is this achievable?
Please help. Thank youbump

The Flex Actionscript is exactly the same as FLASH PROFESSIONAL Actionscript
To learn Flex you start with scripting relative languages mxml, etc , or with learning the menus in Flash Builder? how you proceed after you startup? Learning Flex you must choose a server side scripting language from the ones you know very well, and use it by a way in Flex works? like Java if I am familiar with?
Only Actionscript/MXML (+client side) or/and one server side lang REQUIRED, like java/jsp? Can you recommend any textbook in Actionscript/MXML? the Actionscript is exactly the same as FLASH PROFESSIONAL Actionscript? how many months study in Actionscript/MXML, to move to learning menues in BUILDER? IF REQUIRED one server side lang, what level of JAVA I must have, SE & EE & ME to proceed in learning Flex/Actionscript/MXML and thereafter BUILDER-MENUES?You are asking a ton of questions here, but in general ActionScript in Flex and Flash is the same, but in some cases it is used differently, but most of the time the same.
Great book on ActionScript:

Java Applet in Flash CS4 (ActionScript 3.0)
Hi Guys,
I wonder if anyone can help me as I am a little confused.
Is it possible to insert a Java Applet into Flash CS4 (ActionScript 3.0)
Any advice is much appreciated
ThanksI wouldn't swear to it, but I don't think you can "import" and run an applet internally in flash, but you can call it as an external file from flash and display/run it in an html container for example.
Just as flash (swf) is run through FlashPlayer as the runtime environment, Applets use the Java Console as its runtime environment. -

Installing Flash 9 Actionscript 3 preview...
Hi,
I try installing flash 9 actionscript 3 preview, and realize
that this application is installed in a seperate folder from my
flash 8 IDE, which is not my expectation. (I expect, the flash 9 to
override the flash 8 application).
This is still not that serious, but the thing is when i start
up flash 9 actionscript 3 preview IDE, I realize that the help
window is totally empty!!!
Anyone can help me with this? thankshanct2002 wrote:

At the moment, the ActionScript 3.0 help is online only.
