• CFIF / CFELSE coding Question

  I'm not very proficient in ColdFusion, but can usually get in. However, we have added a third option of membership category, and I can't seem to get the code to work properly. Here's what we do:

  There are 3 categories to choose: Growing Company, investors and professionals. As a growth company, there are 3 levels to choose (there were only 2). For investors and professionals, it is a single level.

  Here's the current, broken code. We find that people who try to join the $255 level or $695 team are the TWO categories of see - they are getting confused about what they are signing for.

  < CFIF #memberCategory # IS "companyMember" >
  < CFIF #memberType # IS "growingTeam" >

  
  Member category: < b > contractor & amp; Management team, team members - $695 < /b >
  < / CFIF >

  < CFIF #memberType # IS "growingSingle" >
  Member category: < b > contractor & amp; Unique membership management team - $495 < /b >
  < CFELSE >
  Member category: < b > contractor & amp; Management team, contractor 2011 - $255 < /b >

  
  < / CFIF >

  < CFELSEIF #memberCategory # IS "investorMember" >
  Member category: < b > investor - $495 < /b >

  < CFELSE >
  Member category: < b > Professional - $895 < /b >

  < / CFIF >

  Before adding this new level of $255, everything worked fine. Does anyone have a solution?

  Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

• Event (interpolation) coding question

  It was a little beyond me to start, but I'm quite happy how I did.  I am loading an XML file with a series of photos.  Photos scroll on a timer of three seconds approximately.  Load images with an alpha of 0 and there is a Tween them fade.  The problem I have is trying to interpolate that réécrirait them a value of 0.  I'm a little Eyed so any help would be appreciated.

  (My fadeOut function fires never (no sign))

  Here is the code:

  Import fl.transitions.Tween;
  Fl.transitions.easing import. *;
  Import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
  var myTween:Tween;

  var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("imageData.xml");
  var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader (xmlRequest);
  var imgData:XML;
  var imageLoader:Loader;
  var rawImage:String;
  var rawH:String;
  var rawW:String;

  var imgNum:Number = 0;
  var checkSec:Timer = new Timer (100);
  var: delay timer = new Timer (5000);
  var numberOfChildren:Number;

  
  xmlLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoadedF);
  delay.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, nextImgF);
  Delay.Start ();

  function xmlLoadedF(event:Event):void {}
  checkSec.start ();
  checkSec.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, checkerF);
  imgData = new XML (event.target.data);
  }

  
  function packagedF (): void {}
  checkSec.removeEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, checkerF);
  rawImage = imgData.image [imgNum] .imgURL;
  numberOfChildren = imgData.*.length ();
  rawW = imgData.image [imgNum] .imgW;
  Sweet = imgData.image [imgNum] .imgH;
  imageLoader = new Loader;
  imageLoader.load (new URLRequest (rawImage));
  master_mc. AddChild (imageloader);
  imageLoader.x = (stage.stageWidth - Number (rawW)) / 2;
  imageLoader.y = (stage.stageHeight - Number (sweet)) / 2;
  imageLoader.alpha = 0;
  myTween = new Tween (imageLoader, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, imageLoader.alpha, 1, 4, true);
  imageLoader.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fadeOut);
  
  }

  function checkerF(event:TimerEvent):void {}
  if(imgNum == 0) {}
  packagedF();
  } else if(imgNum < numberOfChildren) {}
  imageLoader.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fadeOut);
  imageLoader.unload ();
  packagedF();
  } else {}
  imageLoader.unload ();
  imgNum = 0;
  packagedF();
  }
  }

  function nextImgF(event:TimerEvent): void {}
  checkSec.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, checkerF);
  imgNum ++;
  }

  function fadeOut(e:Event):void {}
  imageLoader.alpha = 1;
  myTween = new Tween (imageLoader, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, imageLoader.alpha, 0, 4, true);
  trace ("Click");
  }

  You want to add the listener to tween to the tween instance, not the object which is interpolated.

  myTween.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fadeOut);

• Google game - market and shortcut question

• -CS4 encoding - quiz

  I'm a guy questions and answers game coding for a class of mine. Even thought I have CS4, I use ActionScript 2.0. The game has five categories. Each category has a button in stage II which takes the reader to another scene (button A for stage III, the B button for stage IV, etc.). Once you get to the scene, a box (made a button so you can click on it) with a question fades. When you click it, the question vanished and the answer turns off. He recliquant loops around the beginning of the interpolation of discoloration.

  I need help is to find a way to ensure that whenever the player clicks on a category, they will be brought to the question online. For the first time, the player clicks on A category, they will be redirected to 1A Question/answer. The second time they click on A category, they will be redirected to answers 2A. And so on and so forth.

  Also, is it possible to simply do it without having to do each individual question/answer button? I have over 100 questions and I do not know how well my program will work with a lot of things to load.

  You need to rethink your approach to simplify this game.  Using scenes as you are, it will be difficult to manage and using scenes with navigation is not a reliable design approach when it comes to Flash, they do not work reliably.  You can easly design all this is just a picture if the timeline if you think that through it.

  Your game design doesn't have to rely on the creation of movieclips individual questions and answers you have to manage in the timeline.  What you should think of is to know how to go about making it so that your questions and your answers are just data that you store in variables (like a table).  You just pull the data in the order of the array as you progress in the game.  Later, you may have questions/Berry introduced into the file dynamically using an xml file or a database.

  The vehicle for the presentation of the question / answer games may be designed as a movieclip with a dynamic textfield that you assign the text for each new question / answer the use of code.  Try to think about how design a movieclip that does everything that you call as much as the buttons and whatnot that you can use again and again, just a case of it.  Go you through a question / answer set, click a button and this same movieclip is reused, where the next question / response replace the latter.

  It might seem like a work of lotta, even just to learn how do, but I'd be willing to bet that it will take much less time to do than create the way you now take place maybe 10 or 20 questions.

• How to change the Javascript code to make an exception for a single read command?

  Hello

  
  

  I posted a question earlier in another sub-forum and found this script that makes the form read-only fields. Now, I have a particular coding question.

  
  

  First of all, here's the code:

  var r = app.alert("Are you ready to lock this document?",2,2);
if (r == 4) { // 4 is Yes, 3 is No
   for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
   var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
   this.getField(fname).readonly = true; // makes all fields readonly
   }
}

  On the bottom of my form, I have a button that allows you to set the read-only form, but I also have other keys such as "print". How do I change the code above to make an exception for the command of read-only for my buttons so that they are still functional at the bottom of my form? I don't know anything about Javascript then this is a foreign language for me.

  Any help is appreciated!

• phone and Tablet width is smaller when uploaded to ftp: and yet it works fine on the catalyst?

  The layout seems to be about 60% of the required width (left range).

  I downloaded with the native FTP of Muse and manually in HTML with FileZilla and Fetch all with the same result.

  I checked that it is not all the objects to the right offshore in fact virtually rebuilt the size several times.

  Built originally on the default settings, I have rebuilt the page 640 width (width in pixels iPhone) and always got the same result.

  Everything was perfect seen on my site of catalyst on all platforms.

  Help, please

  Thanks for your help, Nicolas.

  With Reg123, I managed to solve the problem:

  Rather than any coding questions or coding devices within the downloaded site redirection, the problem was with the global site forwarding.

  I put overall site through the "Preview" URL redirection

  http://94.136.40.103/~forkscafe.org.UK

  This can be done with the control panel 123 Reg - "Managing DNS (domain advanced settings)".

  He has set the aesthetic issues. This means that the url bar shows the number rather than the name of the url... but hey, at least the site looks right. I hope this thread helps someone else along the way

  I can't say your code which is what line, but based on your definition of the inisde variable xmlData a function, if you try to access anywhere outside this function, it does not exist outside the function.  Try to declare the variable outside of any function to give it a more global scope.

• Tween alpha works fine in preview, but not in the swf file

  I was wondering if anyone could offer some suggestions. I have a few words written in text mode static I made a graphic symbol. On the timeline, I used the motion tween and classic Tween to create change aplha from 0% to 100%.  I made sure that I have enoough to space on my calendar (10 images).

  Aplha interpolation works fine in preview, however when I export the swf file the aplha interpolation doesn't work anymore? I tried to break the text, flash of reboot, restart my computer and similar proposals for other items such as:

  I was able to fix this by checking the box 'use bitmap caching DURATION' in Blend in the properties panel for the MovieClip in question.

  I am currently using Flash CS5 on an imac. Would be grateful for any suggestions, that I do not understand how something that worked very well, has suddenly stopped working? Bug?

  Thanks in advance

  Create a new fla and duplicate your efforts with your tween alpha of your text.  any problem?

• DropShadowFilter on Air for Android

  Hi all

  Is there a known issue with the publication of air for android applications that use filters (DropShadowFilter, BlurFilter)? As when I try the publication of my phone, the movieclips in question do not even at the scene, which is strange because they work fine when I preview them as a SWF on my computer. I tried to apply the filters in the library of CS5, and make using the code in my document classes and doesn't seem to work! Of course, I tried with cacheAsBitmap (Matrix) on and outside as well.

  Just wondering if its something which is not supported? Or if there is a way around it?

  Thank you.

  Check you renderMode value 'cpu?

  Filters and 'gpu' play together at all, I think.

• Drawing 3d objects

  I'm busy on a development of AP plugin. The main problem with this plugin to draw a simple 3d object (such as a cube). How can I use the API to draw simple 3d objects, or perhaps at least primitive 2d (lines)? It will be better if you provide ways to draw in the main Editor window, or perhaps in another window. Please answer me as soon as you can, for this reason it is very important for me.

  You can ask this question in the wrong forum, this is a C/C++ coding question.

  A simple example of a line in a window frame Freehand / encoding can be found and downloaded from the link given below:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa716527 (VS.60) .aspx

  To make any example work in prepro CS3 or whatever, you need to incorporate your own code in an example of Adobe provided in their SDK as you will be well aware. This could then be compiled in an IDE such as MS Visual Studio.

• Can someone help me understand this very simple script please?

  I have a simple coding question that frustrates the heck out of me. . Basically, the script below moves button_mc. 100 px when you click top then down to 100px when you click it again. I know that the simple script below works but I do not know why

  It seems that his say if the variable 'jumping' is 'true' move "button_mc" up to 100 px. "The part I do not understand why ' button_mc" move down to 100 px to second click.

  seems to me that it ignores this first function, because 'Skip = false' run the second function and moves to the top of 100px. Then why in the second click it move down? wouldn t it theoretically just skip the first part of the function again?

  I hope this makes sense and someone can help me.

  I'm so frustrated!

  Thank you!!!

  var jump: Boolean = false;

  button_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

  function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  If (Jumping)
  {
  Event.Target.y += 100;
  jumping = false;
  }
  on the other
  {
  Event.Target.y-= 100;
  jumping = true;
  }
  }

  button_mc.butonMode = true;

  Whenever a movement occurs, the break value is passed to the opposite value.  So if it starts wrong, it moves-100 pixels (which is the direction upwards) and the value is changed to true.  Similarly, when you click again, it moves 100 + in the direction down.

• AS 3.0 - &amp; gt; communication between classes

  Hi all
  
  Here's a good question, that nobody seems to have all the answers for... I searched on the net and it is not really that much info at all, so I'm assuming that we AS 3.0 people do a little "trail blazing", so to speak.
  
  Here's my problem:
  
  I would have a particularly modular interface, such as the main movieclip can load in modular pieces and insert them in a framework and have this operation as a 'window' in the Flash. The charger for the movieclip must be dynamic. I'll abstain not harder and get to the point of my question:
  
  Let's say you have created a class to a movieclip 'circle', which is created in its very own .fla with its own (circle.as) class file that extends the movieclip class. Now let's consider this circle is one of the modules in the base movieclip that will load dynamically.
  
  The circle movieclip loads, but now you want to communicate with the movieclip of circle and for example, question him and ask him what color his circle is. Surely, we would create a function in the circle class, something like the following:
  public void getColor (): {of color
  Return circlecolor;
  };
  
  On the main movieclip, we questioned this file that has been loaded, and you can imagine the code to resemble the following:
  public void objectLoaded(event:Event):void {}
  trace ("circleloaded! And Flash coders rule! ») ;
  trace ("the color of this new object is" + event.content.getColor ());
  };
  
  Now my problem is that I can't connect at all! Test and debugging, it seems that the film circle will not even look at the scene as the root timeline (it will look at the charger as its personal root, I think!). Does anyone have ideas on how we can get some kind of a channel of communication between the classes of movieclip that are loaded dynamically in this mode?
  
  
  

  Yes sorry I forgot:
  You must send the object to a MovieClip for her to work. Full code:

  the Circle.as class

  package {}
  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  SerializableAttribute public class Circle extends MovieClip {}
  var circlecolor:Number = 0xFF0000;

  public void getColor (): number {}
  Return circlecolor;
  }
  }
  }

  This class must be attached to the document (in my case loaded.swf), use the property inspector.

  The following code goes into the swf loader:

  import flash.events. *;
  import flash.display. *;
  flash.net import. *;

  var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
  ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onCircleLoaded);
  LDR. Load (new URLRequest ("loaded.swf"));
  addChild (ldr);

  function onCircleLoaded(event:Event):void {}
  trace ("the color is:" + MovieClip (event.target.content) .getColor ());
  }

  That's all

• height of CheckBox and movieclip question

  Hello

  I've added a component of the box inside an empty movieclip. Before adding that the height of movie clip is 0, once I've added a component to the checkbox on the movieclip its height shows 100 but when I saw the height of the box its just 22. What is the question on the calculation of the height of movieclip?

  Here is the coding

  var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

  addChild (mc)

  var cb:CheckBox = new CheckBox();

  CB.label = "TTS"

  mc.addChild (cb)

  trace (CB. Height) / / exit 22

  trace (MC. Height) / / ouput 100

  Question:

  I want to calculate the height of movieclip on runtime.on the case above, I expect equal to MK 22, but it gives 100 how do I solve this problem?

  Hey, it seems that I have found why the issue occur... Component Flash need a few milliseconds to update the movieclip's parent.

  "Event.RENDER" helps here to slove the question

  You can use setChildIndex().  Here is a link to an example of solution:
