How do I test if an object exists? in Flash CS4(AS3.0)

I am trying to test if an object with an instance name of "test_mc" exists.
How would i write the code with an if statement, i have no idear?
~Thank you for help tips and advice.

Hello,
using SPSiteDataquey, you are able to query multiple lists. if your column is only on those list, you just need to query the items and see if you get 2 elements on return.
more info there :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsitedataquery.aspx
Best regards, Christopher.

Make an object vanish in Flash CS4 (AS3.0)

I have a question on how i can remove an object when two objects hit.
I have two objects on the stage overlapping.
object #1 = character_mc
object #2 = vanish_mc
I want to make it so that the object #2 (vanish_mc) will vanish once i run it.
I have this code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vanish);
function vanish(event:Event):void{
if(character_mc.hitTestObject(vanish_mc)){
// here the code to remove vanish_mc from the stage
~ Thank you for help and advice ~

you can always use:
vanish_mc.parent.removeChild(vanish_mc);
to remove vanish_mc from the display list.
but, you'll need to stop all streams in vanish_mc, if there are any. and, if you're not going to use vanish_mc anymore, you should ready it for gc.

How do you test any SAP objects before a transport to the production server

How do you test any SAP objects before a transport to the production server?

Hi Rama Krishna,
The actual process is develop the object in development system and unit test there with the available data.
Then move it to Quality server where the data will be the actual replica of production and where the integration testing and ened to end testing happens and also the user acceptance testing happens there.
and once everything is found fine there then it is moved to production system.
Award points if this is helpful.

How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

Hi,
Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4. The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand. I now want to switch over to LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS. Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS? Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense. But LCCS is really confusing. Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client. There is nothing in the LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3. Please help! I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

Hi,
Welcome to the LCCS world.
Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
Thanks

How can I NOT let collision happen in Flash CS4(AS3)?

I have been playing with collisions for quite a while, but cannot seem to get it just the way i want it to be.
I made a new rectangle into a Movie Clip, with an instance name : "block_mc"
I made a sphere into a Movie Clip, with an instance name : "ball_mc"
I made the sphere(ball_mc) movable with the arrow keys.(see post:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/491457?tstart=0 )
Now I wanted to try and make the sphere(ball_mc) stop moving so it wont hit the rectangle(block_mc), so that the rectangle(block_mc) would act like a solid object.
Meaning the sphere(ball_mc) would not be able to touch the rectangle(block_mc). It would act like a wall.
Now my problem is I don't know if there is a way of not letting objects collide?
I tried the ".hitTestObject()" but that did not work for me.
~ Thanks for Help and Advice~

I apologize, for this confusing long question, I simply ment to ask:
Is there a way Flash CS4(AS3.0) will not let Objects on stage collide?
~Thank you for any Tips, Advice and Help~

How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?
Thanks.

you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
you should "load" your swf, not import it.
if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

Problem removing Objects from the stage in Flash CS4 (AS3.0)

I have a problem with this code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vanish);
function vanish(event:Event):void{
     if(character_mc.hitTestObject(vanish_mc)){
          vanish_mc.parent.removeChild(vanish_mc);
There are two overlapping objects on my stage: character_mc and vanish_mc.
As soon as i start the scene[Ctrl+Enter] vanish_mc is VISUALLY removed. But the code still sees a collision somehow. How can i Entirely remove the object vanish_mc?
Thank you for help and advice.

Ah I think the problem is what my problem not which I proposed, my bad I was trying to keep it simple.
the remove code in my problem actually looks like this:
if(character_mc.hitTestObject(this["dollar_mc_"+String(i)])){
     removeChild(this["dollar_mc_"+String(i)]);
I wanted it to be that way so I could add infinite "dollar_mc_" ' s without writing myself to death with code and or getting confused.
Imagine it like a game where a character it picking up dollars, which would disappear once they intersect.
And that exactly is what gives me that argument.
Do you know a way i could write this code, or do you suggest to leave it that way...because it does run and work im just getting this argument while debugging.
Thank you for all the help~

How can i know if an object exist into SAP?

What is the tcode to be used to know if the program ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO exist in the sysstem or not.
please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Its not an ABAP program so you cannot see via SE38, You can only check in SE61, if it is showing there that means it exist otherwise it does not exist. You have to activate the ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO otherwise it will not work

How do i test/fix my internal links using dreamweaver cs4

Well i'm done designing my website and i know how to link pages together ,i'm setting up my home page and i saved it as my template, i put the links of other pages in my template so when i create another page from my template i would have the page linked already so i can click on the home button to return me back to the orginal page,so when i tested the main page in my browser i would click on the topic but when im in the topic i'll try and click on another topic the page would say can not find page i linked my pages already in the template so it was it should sent me to any link i selected right? help me is it because im not on a remote server why when i'll click into a sub page but the subpage wont return to the home page when i click on the link?

My guess without seeing your code is that you have a path problem.
For best answers, open a page in DW and SaveAs test.html
Upload it to your remote server along with dependant files.
Post a link here so we can see your page.
After you get an answer to your question, remove the test.html page from your server.

How can I check if a function is or is not called from the event listener? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Hi,
I came across a little problem.
I put an event listener inside a for loop and the for loop inside a function.
I want the for loop to end as soon as the event listener inside the for loop calls its function.
Here is the general code for a better picture.
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function#1);
function function#1(event:Event):void{
          if(something is true){
                    for(var i = 0; i < numOfmy_mcs; i++){
                              this["my_mc_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function#2);
function function#2(e:Event):void{
//do something cool here
Thank you for any help!

that for-loop (if it executes), defines listeners for interactive objects. that will complete long before any object is clicked.
Well yes but it does it again and again (frames per second times seconds = number of times it goes through the code if i'm not mistaken), because it is inside a function, and through testing i found out that it works like this:
Example:
there are 5 my_mc's in my project: (my_mc_0, my_mc_1, my_mc_2, my_mc_3, my_mc_4)
if i click my_mc_0 function#2 is called and executed. BUT only after the loop finishes (i know this from tons of testing)...which is unnecessary since you cannot click two places at once. This might not be a problem in this example because i am only using 5 my_mc's buy if i use 500000000 my_mc's it would make a lot of difference.
is there a way to stop the loop if the function is called?
...maybe there is a better way to write it, the only alternative i know that works is if i manually write every single listener and this also is logical in this example but as i said next to impossible if the numbers get bigger.
-Note
I didn't specify this earlier but function#2 makes the if statement false so it wont jump back into it.
Thank you for the help I really appreciate it!

How can I make a 3D cube using only Flash CS4?

Looking for a tutorial on how to make a 3d cube. The best one I found was how to make a book, which is three sides short of a cube. If worse comes to worse I think there's a way to take two identical movie clips with three sides each and pivot them around the same point to form a cube. But if there's some solid instruction anyone could provide or a link, it would save me countless hours of guessing testing and revising.
Thanks!

Hi,
Wire in '448' to the 'New Permissions' of the Access Rights VI. This will set the file as readable, writable and executable. I just tried this (on WinNT, though).
The 'permissions' parameter is a 16-bit integer where the least 9 bits are used. Of these, for Windows, bits 8, 9, and 10 (0-indexed) are important (i.e. if these are set = integer 448). See online Help for full details.
Hope this helps,
Khalid

How can I execute certain code once the button on stake is hit at runtime? (in Flash CS4(AS3))

Hi
I am trying to figure out how to execute code once a button_btn is hit on stage at runtime.
Thank you for help and tips!

You can also try to create an event listener for the button itself. (In as2.0 it was onClick or onPress or something to that effect, now I'm not sure what they are syntaxed as but there are event listeners for buttons which "listen" to see if the button has been pressed. Mouse Events are good because it makes sure that the mouse is actually performing the action. Don't know about accessibility with Mouse Events though since you can use a Tab key to direct input of buttons so try the Button event listeners.

Changing color of an object on stage during runtime? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to change the color of an object during runtime. any ideas?
Thank you for helping.

you can use the colortransform property of your objects transform property. so, if you have a displayobject mc, you can use:
var t:Transform = mc.transform
var ct:ColorTransform = t.colorTransform;
ct.color = 0xff0000;
mc.transform.colorTransform = ct;

How to Display an Alert or Dialog Box in Flash CS4?

I would like to have a quick message displayed on the screen for a few seconds after a user clicks a button. I can't seem to find an Alert Box or Dialog Box option in Flash CS4...can anyone help?
Thanks.

as2 has the window component. and for both as3 and as2 it's pretty simple to create your own movieclip to use as an alert window.

Flash CS4/AS3 - How to use a preloader with FLVs?

Somehow I've had a really hard time finding a straightforward forum answer or tutorial for this--maybe someone can help?
I have an SWF file that references/loads an external FLV file (www.44designs.com/promo_video.php), but since the FLV file is about 9MB and can take time to load on a slower connection, I think a preloader (something simple like "LOADING...100%") would be a good idea as the FLV loads.
Anyone have a simple way to do this?? I've had no success in finding what I need--just scripts for loading SWFs. You can see an example of this on www.44designs.com where a preloader script I've got seems to be referencing the SWF (thus loading almost immediately) instead of the much larger external FLV. Make sense? I'm not super AS3 savvy, but I can follow logic and cut and paste

Great info, thanks for the post!
