• (Help) Using Input text in Flash CS4 AS3

  I'm trying to take a (named) user input and then greet the user on the next image using the name that he previously entered. I googled for 2 days and was unable to find a way to do this on flash CS4 AS3, I guess because im very new to Flash (only 2-3 weeks)
  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sorry if this has already been answered in the forums.
  Thanks for reading.

  I think that, in this case, you put the cart before the horse.  The variable is that the function will set the value of correct?  You have the textfield object being assigned to the variable, which is at that time an undefined value.  Try to think of what you are doing as you do.

• Tracing of Captivate 4 variables in Flash CS4 using AS3

  Hello. I googled this 9 ways to Sunday and can not find an answer. I hope one of you can help.

  I have a Captivate 4 very simple with one question quiz. I incorporate the Captivate SWF file into a Flash file that plays very well. However, I am struggling with follow-up one of the variables in the Flash AS3 Captivate file.

  All I want is to read Flash Captivate variables, so I can continue to develop my Flash quiz (Captivate provides additional features of construction).

  The variable I am trying to trace is cpInfoAuthor.

  I tried:

  • trace (root.cpInfoAuthor);
  • trace (root. Movie.cpInfoAuthor);
  • var cpAuthor = MovieClip .cpInfoAuthor (root);

  All the above examples error: TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

  Captivate preferences are set to be published in AS3.

  Someone at - it an explanation?

  Be splendid, Jodie.

  Hi Jodie,

  I'm not exactly 100% competent AS3, but for me, it seems that your statements are false.

  Given that you load your SWF Captivate Flash SWF then (root) refers to your Flash SWF file. I guess that you load your Captivate SWF into a movieclip on your Flash stage and this movieclip contains an instance name,

  You will need to enter variables as var cpAuthor = yourLoaderMovieClip.cpInfoAuthor;

  See if cela does the trick for you.

• Variables inside video clips? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

  Hello world

  I was wondering if it is possible to use variables such as Int stored inside or with a clip?

  Thank you!

  Yes, you can store them inside manually when you create the movieclip or you can assign a variable to a movieclip during execution without having previously created the variable.

  myMovieclip.newVariable = value;

• Flash CS4 as3 buttons do not respond

  I have a problem of flash I can just click a button and that's it. I have 5 buttons to go to different pages but if I click on, say the button, it's going to go, but that's all. I can't click on any other button. The code is below. I don't see what I'm doing wrong. Assistance is needed. Thank you!

  Stop();

  home.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gohome);
  function gohome (MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndStop (1);
  }
  about.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, goabout);
  function goabout (MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndStop (2);
  }
  history.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gohistory);

  function gohistory (MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndStop (3);
  }
  cast.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gocast);
  function gocast (MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndStop (4);
  }
  bios.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gobios);
  function gobios (MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndStop (5);
  }
  tickets.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gotickets);
  function gotickets (MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndStop (6);
  }

  
  

  You should familiarize yourself as the key print screen on your keyboard.

  The explanation and the image you provided do not indicate what are the components.  If this layer labeled "menu" is where are the buttons, it occupies only the first image may be a good reason for your buttons do not work in other settings - they are not there.

• Get information of the streaming mp3 files ID3 tags in Flash CS4 AS3.0

  Hello world:

  I spent my whole day trying to find a good way to access the ID3 tags in AS3.0. but can't find anything useful.

  In my project I am doing a sound object and assign a URL:

  Then I hear the sound in a sound channel:

  var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest('URL here"));
  var sc:SoundChannel;
  ...
  

  My problem:

  I want to read the ID3 tag sort and display the artist name or anything like that in the ID3 tag on the screen.

  Complication:

  I have the URL change through user input, and naturally I want to update all the information with new information from ID3 tags.

  ...
  var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest('NEW URL here"));
  ...
  

  Thanks for any help!

  Save your current fla.

  using this fla save with another name (for example, test.fla) and replace all your actionscript with the following (using the appropriate names mp3).  retest:

  var music: Sound = new Sound (new URLRequest ("mp3whatever"));

  music.addEventListener (Event.ID3, id3Handler);

  music2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, music2);

  function music2(e:Event):void {}
  Music = new Sound (new URLRequest("mp32"));
  music.addEventListener (Event.ID3, id3Handler);
     
  }
  music1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, music1);

  function music1(e:Event):void {}
  Music = new Sound (new URLRequest("mp31"));
  music.addEventListener (Event.ID3, id3Handler);
     
  }
  function id3Handler(evt:Event):void {}
  var id3:ID3Info = evt.target.id3;
  trace (id3.artist + '-' + id3.songName);
  }

• Flash CS4/AS3 autosizing box movieclip containing TextField

  I have a TextField I will fill dynamically in code.  Imagine a simple example, a cartoon with the text over the speaker's head bubble, the bubble is a rounded rectangle with a few embellishments such as drop shadow and a border and others, and I want the bubble a fixed width, but a variable height to accommodate a few words or perhaps a long sentence that encapsulates three lines.  I understand that TextField that will with autosize and wordwrap, but how to make the 'bubble' movieclip that contains it also resize accordingly, without writing various hacks involving counting the number of characters and the resizing of the bubble myself?  Thank you!

  Assign your bubble a scale9grid and then its height based on the height of your textfield.

• General on the Question Instance common names in Flash CS4 (AS3)

  I tried something interesting recently. I got code performing an object with the instance name: object_mc.

  Now, I added another object and gave him the same instance name.

  The result is that the code is only the most recent added object (no error).

  Is it possible Flash several objects with the same instance name all touched by a piece of code?

  ~ Thank you for ideas, advice and facts. ~

  It becomes easier to manage them individually if they have unique instance names, or at least a way to isolate them by a single property.  If you do not need to do this, then it is fine... There are all sorts of ways to approach designs.

  Usually, when a series of instances are used, they will be called sequentially, such as object_mc0, object_mc1, object_mc2, etc.  So you can even one of them will need to be.  And if you want to act on all of them at the same time, you can take a loop approach, even if you do not have to take the time to test anything...

  for (var i = 0; i)
  .x += this ["object_mc" + String (i)] 200.

  }

  In this example the notation of support/table is used in order to have a value of string, interpreted as an instance name.

• exit 0 # instead of just # in Flash CS4 AS3

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to get an exit number always a two digit number, for example the time:

  What my code at the moment:

  0:1

  0:2

  0:3

  0:4

  ...

  0:8

  0:9

  0:10

  0:11

  I want my code to do:

  0:01

  0:02

  0:03

  0:04

  ...

  0:08

  0:09

  0:10

  0:11

  Thanks for any help and advice!

  First, you must determine if the number is less than 10 and if so, add a zero in front of her when cast you as a string.

  Take this number for example:

  var myNumber:Number = 5;

  First, you must determine if the number is less than 10

  If (myNumber<>

  {

  And if so, you need to ride your number of a number into a string with a zero in front.

  var myString:String = '0' + String (myNumber);

  }

  I've done this week last to an MP3 player.

  Here are two functions, I used to convert the number (in this case, the milliseconds playing) in a time format:

  function showTime(e:Number):String
  {
  e is in milliseconds
  var time: int = Math.round (e/1000); time now is in seconds
  var hours: int = Math.floor (time/3600);
  var minutes: int = Math.floor ((temps-(heures * 3600)) / 60);
  var int seconds = Math.floor (time - (hours * 3600)-(minutes * 60));
     
  var hoursText:String = convertToString (hours); function - see below
  var minutesText:String = convertToString (minutes);
  var secondsText:String is convertToString (seconds);.
     
  showTime var: String;

  If (hoursText is "00")
  {
  showTime = minutesText + ': ' + secondsText;
  }
  on the other
  {
  showTime = hoursText + ":" + minutesText + ":" + secondsText;
  }
  return showTime;
  } showTime

  function convertToString(e:int):String
  {
  var returnString:String;
     
  If (e == 0)
  {
  returnString = "00";
  }
  ElseIf (e<>
  {
  returnString = '0' + String;
  }
  on the other
  {
  returnString = String (e);
  }
  Return returnString;
  } //convertToString

• Stage dimensions (size) in Flash CS4 (AS3)

  Hi again,

  I need to know how to get my stage dimensions (x, y), BUT only the stage and not all the objects which could continue off the stage included.

  For example:

  My internship is 400 x 550.

  I want to get 400 and 550 returned.

  Thanks for any help and advice!

  You can use:

  var size: number = stage.stageWidth;

  var nH: number = stage.stageHeight;

• or the statement inside the hitTestObject()? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

  Hi again,

  I met another problem, that I would like to learn more. In my project I have a line of code that looks like this:

  If (my_mc_0.hitTestObject(my_mc_1 || my_mc_2));

  I assumed would read as follows: If my_mc_0 hits (graphically) my_mc_1 my_mc_2 GOLD it will execute the code in the if statement.

  BUT that's not true, it runs as if it is written like this: if (my_mc_0.hitTestObject (my_mc_1));

  What is a syntax error or is not possible or only possible in another method? Maybe there is a different function?

  Thanks for any help.

  use:

  If (my_mc_0.hitTestObject (my_mc_1): my_mc_0.hitTestObject (my_mc_2)) {}

  No matter what

  }

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

  Hello

  I ran into a small problem.

  I put an event listener inside a loop for and the loop inside a function.

  I want the loop for to end as soon as the listener of events inside the for loop calls the function.

  Here is the general code for a better image.

  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
  } 
  

  Thanks for any help!

  You can determine what the event object dispatched using e.target and e.currentTarget.  and it is not supposed to return anything to a listener.

  everything you try to do?  Click on one of a large number of objects and make and/or determine what?

• Right-click the event listener? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

• Animation on an image? Flash CS4 (AS3)

  I wondered if I have an animation playing on just the first image using ActionScript 3.0?

  Can I call a framework within a clip from the animated film, with ActionScript3.0?

  ~ Thank you for the help and tips or tricks. ~

  Of course just use the name of the movieClip instance you want to address. Something like this:

  Button1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, button1Up);

  function button1Up(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  movieClipName.gotoAndPlay (3);

  or something else...

  }

  Replace with the name real clip 'movieClipName' in the above function.

• Appeal of a variable from within an AS3 movieclip in Flash CS4

  I'm trying to back up a string variable from within a movieclip that is in an another movieclip on the main timeline to help:

  trace (VariableString);

  and also

  trace (stage. VariableString);

  No work

  The variable is a textfield of entry as well as traces very well when it is on the main timeline, but won't work inside the movieclip. I am using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4.

  I appreciate this has probably been discussed before on this forum but I can't find an answer of difinitve that seems to work.

  Thank you

  When I put "MovieClip (root)" I tried that literally... not MovieClip1 (root).  You will need to cast to the class of the root object, who, most often using MovieClip() enough (among others, like object).

  What I don't see is happening is that you be able to get the value of the text of MovieClip1 the way that you say you do.  If MovieClip1 contains a text input component, then to get the value of this text you need to target the text property of the element inside the MovieClip1, as in...

  VariableString1 = MovieClip1.textInputName.text.
