• ability to add name of movieclip

  Hello

  I would like to know if it is possible to add a number to a certain movieclip, for example
  something like:

  var currProj = thumbHolder.projSq + ("0");

  Thank you!

  Yes, you can do it.  the following would be an effective way to encode your buttons and have them Tween their associated movieclip.

  Import fl.transitions.Tween;

  for (var i: Number = 0; i<>

  This ["projBut" + i] .ivar = i

  This ["projBut" + i] .onRelease = releaseF;

  }

  function releaseF() {}

  var t:Tween = new Tween(thumbHolder["projSq"+this.ivar],...);

  }

  But if you want to make your own way, you would use:

  thumbHolder ["projSq" + currBut]

  Hi DadVQ,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.

  Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340

   

  Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Cannot add an audio Transition VIA Drag and Drop... Next in the classroom in a book.

  I work through Premier Pro classroom in a book, and I can add audio transitions in all the different ways they ask for.

  Default shortcut as well as through the sequence menu.

  I can't add a drag and drop any kind crossfade. Not between audio or at the beginning or end of the sequence.

  Y at - it a setting that I turned on to turn it off? It seems that since I'm following the examples of book and there was no mention of any weird behaviour that should not be the case.

  We tried a few things and looked in the forums, but nobody seems to have the same problem.

  Note:

  Running a Mac with El Capitan.

  Video transitions are drag and able to receive.

  Thank you

  OK I found it.

  Looks like I got accidentally audio transition default to 0.01 seconds time in the preferences panel.

  It is in fact a framework - but not a no-brainer.

• Change the images in a movieclip via a loaded swf file

  I am creating a game in which there are 4 buttons. The 4 buttons are baskets with labels of solids, liquids, gas and fire. When the button is clicked, the basket that keeps the catcher/character depending on which button is clicked. This time I connected this part of the game in other areas. My problem is that whenever I load this part of the game that the buttons can not change the cart that my catcher holds, it cannot change the images. But if it is played individually it works fairly well. Why is this?

  It's all over. I just copied the same framework of all my objects on catcher other steps.

• now a multiplier of color on images

  Hello
  
  I have a lot of pictures and I need to put a filter of pinkish color on them... The problem I have is I can put a layer of 50% alpha rose in front of the picture, but it is much lighter than I want to as it is half transparent. So I would do some kind of multiplier effect photoshop where I merge the pink with the image. Is it possible to do this in as3?
  
  I saw the merger using bitmapData, but I can't work how it relate to a charge in image. Also, I saw the blendmode on movieclips, but I can't seem to get anywhere with it.
  
  Any ideas anyone?
  
  Thanks in advance
  
  Greg

  I worked here, for future reference for those who want to do it.

  I wanted to add a multiplier of the color B11747. You must conver Rible bits of the hex to decimal values.

  B1 is the Red
  17 is the Green
  47 is the blue

  I used this site http://www.statman.info/conversions/hexadecimal.html to convert and finished with

  B1 is 177 which gives as 177/255 = 0.6941
  17 is 23, which gives 23/255 = 0.0902
  47 is 71 which gives as 177/255 = 0.2784
  you divide the number by 255 as the decimal point is between 0 and 255

• MovieClip will not add to the list after calling addChild()

  I have a MovieClip in the library who refuses to be added to the stage during his call with addChild(). Here's the code.

  You will see a function called clickedACTDD_BTN. You will also see that the function offers a choice if the MovieClip is present, then it is deleted. If it is not present, then this is given properties and added. Also, note my tracing instructions in each choice. All signs as expected but the MovieClip ever arises. I've been on that days code and just can't see what I did wrong. Everyone sees it?

  my mistake, this.addChild (this) is not going to work.

  PAheader is a class and a class is not on stage.

  an instance of the class could be on stage, however.

  and another instance might not be on stage.

  just because you see something that is a member of PAheader class, or maybe just looks like a class member, does not mean that all instances, or even none, are on stage.

  to be sure: trace (this.stage) = null, means the instance you are checking is not on stage.

  "(and I don't know where you want to add this instance of the class, but, assuming that your document is a MovieClip and not a Sprite), MovieClip (root) .addChild (this) might work, although it's bad coding."  and stage.addChild (this) of colin will not work because the stage is not defined in this class.

                                }
                      }
            }
  
  
            btCount++;
  }
  
  

  If you don't know what you're doing, you can always use:

  {If (pushUsTFintoArray [rNr_us] & {pushUsTFintoArray [rNr_us] .stage)}

  pushUsTFintoArray [rNr_us].parent.removeChild (pushUsTFintoArray [rNr_us]);

  }

• Calling functions / set variables in loaded SWF

  You know how you can create a Movieclip object, add a function or a variable, and then call this function or change this variable to the SWF file that includes? I want to be able to do it, only with SWFs that are loaded at run time.
  
  My "main" SWF is just something the type of menu. The user clicks a button in my HAND. SWF and the HAND. SWF and then load the SWF associated with this button, using the AS 3.0 method Loader () - URLRequest () - addChild () that everyone always asks questions on prescribed.
  
  It works very well. But now I have a few custom and other objects (ie., not only the channels) in my HAND. SWF I want power sharing with the loaded SWF files. preferably, I'd use a function of the type of accessor (ie., LoadedSWF.GiveMeTheCoolObject (MyCoolObject)); Although at this point, I'm willing to hack the object itself (ie., LoadedSWF.CoolObject.CoolField = MyCoolObject.CoolField ;) if that's what it takes.
  
  I tried to call the functions and setting the fields, but the AS 3.0 compiler doesn't care for this kind of nonsense on its objects defined by the generically. Also note that, at runtime, a call to LoadedSWF.hasOwnObject ("GiveMeTheCoolObject") returns true.
  
  So my colleagues big brain, what is the magic?
  
  In advance, thank you for the help!

  the error message, seems, your function expects a member of the class MyCoolObject, correct?
  and MyCoolObject is not an instance of this class. so, you have to fix that. That is to say, create a member of this class, and use this class as a parameter of the function member.

  Heh, that's what the error message says all right. But the object IS actually an object of class MyCoolObject. I looked at this thing for hours and MyCoolObject IS an instance of this class. I tried different combinations of casting (including the cast on an object and passing that) but had no luck whatsoever.

  So I googled this particular runtime error message ("Error #1034: has no Type constraint: cannot convert '" ") and found a ton of links to other people with a similar problem. As a general rule, the problem was just as you say, someone passes a button as a string, that kinda thing. But a guy had a problem with an object that it has derived from the event class. Once the hours spent trying to make it work, he has tried to override clone() of the base class method and got it to work:

  http://www.assertTrue.com/articles/2006/10/14/custom-events-in-ActionScript-3-0

  As for my project, I took a long, hard look at the overall architecture of my project and decided it would be better if all the 'real work' is held in the HAND. SWF file. This approach would solve some other problems, and it makes sense in a mindset of "separating the display of data.

  If (and this is the interesting part) I changed the API for the LOADED. SWF to accept the pairs of strings (ie., LoadedSWF.AddToDisplay (String Name, String Data)) rather than accept MyCoolObj. Ran and Viola, now we work without any throw exceptions in. After this moment of glory, I created a couple of other APIs that comes from base classes (a type int, the other a type function) agreed and was happily on my way.

  On this basis, I understand while passing another base class objects (IE, the derived class) to load MovieClips via custom function API is... perhaps not so simple you'd expect. In the grand scheme of things well, not a big deal: as far as I'm concerned AS3 rocks.

  Kglad, thanks again for all the help: your comments on how this was the big push that I needed to get through the last barrier of this project.

  For those who read this topic for the ' how to call functions or set variables in a loaded SWF file?

  The short answer is cast to the SWF file that is loaded as a MovieClip content object and then call the function or change the variable:

  Load the SWF file (you saw this code a million times)
  var LoadedSWFObj:Loader = new Loader();
  var MyURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("LoadThisSWF.SWF");
  LoadedSWFObj.load (MyURL);

  It is within your Event.COMPLETE Manager:

  Cast as a MovieClip object and work with it.
  var LoadedSWF:MovieClip = LoadedSWFObj.content as MovieClip;

  or another way to perform a cast:
  var LoadedSWF:MovieClip = MovieClip (LoadedSWFObj.content);

  Call yer function:
  LoadedSWF.CallMe ();

• How to load external png image via xml?

  Can someone help me with the addition of a png image to a mc with an instance name.

  I want only to display a single image (no Gallery)

  I would like to get the url of the image via an xml.

  Here's a copy of my current action script which has already pulled in xml data that includes the node with the url of the photo.

  import flash.events.Event;

  import flash.events.MouseEvent;

  import flash.net.URLLoader;

  import flash.net.URLRequest;

  var myXML:XML;

  var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  myLoader.load (new URLRequest ("links.xml"));

  myLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

  function processXML(e:Event):void

  {

  myXML = new XML (e.target.data);

  trace (myXML);

  menumv.carbtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openCURL);

  menumv.edubtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openEURL);

  menumv.psybtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openPURL);

  menumv.stubtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openSTURL);

  menumv.busbtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openBURL);

  menumv.shabtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openSURL);

  studentmv.stuname.Text = myXML.student.name;

  }

  function openCURL(e:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest (myXML.car.url));

  }

  function openEURL(e:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest (myXML.edu.url));

  }

  function openPURL(e:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest (myXML.psy.url));

  }

  function openSTURL(e:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest (myXML.stu.url));

  }

  function openBURL(e:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest (myXML.bus.url));

  }

  function openSURL(e:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest (myXML.sha.url));

  }

  And here's a copy of the node that contains the url

  <menu>
      <student>
      <name>testnamehere</name>
      <photo>http://10.0.0.2/test/photos/testnamephoto.jpg</photo>
      </student>
  </menu>
  

  I saw this tutorial but it was for a gallery, and I couldn't not to hack and slash to do what I want.

  http://Tuts.flashmint.com/creating-a-simple-XML-Gallery-in-ActionScript3/

  Thanks again in advance for any help.

  Check if this gives null if yes it would output menu.student.photo

  trace (Student.photo)

  var _request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (student.photo);

  var _ldr = new Loader();

  MC's movieclip where you add your image

  mc.addChild (_ldr);

  _ldr. Load (_REQUEST);

  _ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, load_complete, false, 0, true);

  function load_complete (event): void

  {

  whatever it is may be melted in the image

  }

• loading movieclip

  Got a little problem.  Say that I have on my stage different buttons and each of them will load a movieclip in the library, how can I go to achieve this?  I tried to do a charger to charge all different movieclips.   When it goes into service with a click of a button, I unloadAndStop, I think this will remove anything from the charger if something already exists.  I then try to do things like

  myLoader.load(new URLRequest("myMovieClip"));
  myLoader.addChild(myMovieClip); 
  etc
  

  None of the above seem to work.

  Any advice appreciated

  see you soon

  Nick

  You want to add symbols from the library onto the stage? If so, you don't need class Loader - loader is for external content (another *.swf on the server).

  You instantiate directly your symbols from the library:

  (1) in the library, select the symbol that you want to add to the scene via ActionScript, rightclick-> properties

  (2) set the export for actionscript: true

  (3) in the class field, type "MySybol".

  -in fact, you can type any name you want - this is the identifier of the symbol fo ActionScript

  -You can also use packages: ui.buttons.NextPageButton

  in the code, you type:

  var mySymbolInstance = new MySymbol();
  addChild(mySymbolInstance);
