  It looks that you assign the value of the cursor to a variable instead of using it to control the height.  The way you use can only increase the height and only if the value of the slider is > = 65

  The slider should be directly affecting the height setting, as in...

  function heightSlChange_M(event:SliderEvent):void {}

  maleSizePage.maleCharacter.height = maleSizePage.heightSlider.value;

  }

• Help tool tip

  Hello

  I was after a bit of advice on how do I create tooltips.

  I have thumbnails of different colors. When the user hovers over the thumbnail I want a ToolTip appears with the name of the color.

  What is the best way to do it?

  I got the job of the ToolTip - just need a bit of advice on the content of the ToolTip!

  This is my code so far but don't know how to create several ToolTips:

  btn1.addEventListener("mouseOver", mouse_RollOver);
  btn1.addEventListener("mouseOut", mouse_RollOut);
  btn1.addEventListener("mouseMove", mouse_Move);
  
  var tooltip:Tooltip = new Tooltip();
  tooltip.txt.text="colour here";
  tooltip.x=stage.mouseX;
  tooltip.y=stage.mouseY-btn1.height;
  
  function mouse_RollOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
  addChild(tooltip);
  var myTween:Tween=new Tween(tooltip,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,0,1,0.6,true); 
  }
  
  function mouse_RollOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
  removeChild(tooltip);
  } 
  function mouse_Move(e:MouseEvent):void {
  tooltip.x=stage.mouseX;
  tooltip.y=stage.mouseY-btn1.height;
  

  I don't want to repeat this code several times for each button as there is lot of thumbnails - I appreciate any advice or help on this...

  Thank you

  You should do the buttons of all instances of a class that you write your won database.

  They can send an event of the ToolTip, and then on your main timeline (or class of documents or where ever) you can listen for this event. Something like this:

  package {}

  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  import flash.events. *;

  import flash.utils.Timer;

  import flash.events.EventDispatcher;

  SerializableAttribute public class MyButton extends MovieClip {} Dynamics

  public static var defaultDelay:Number = 1000;

  public var tipText:String;

  private var _timer:Timer;

  private var _tipDelay:Number = 0;

  private var _intervalID:Number;

  public void MyButton() {}

  Stop();

  addListeners();

  addEventListener (Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

  }

  public void init(e:Event) {}

  removeEventListener (Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

  tipDelay = KPButton.defaultDelay;

  _Timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.Timer, timerHandler);

  }

  private void addListeners() {}

  buttonMode = true;

  mouseEnabled = true;

  mouseChildren = false;

  If (! hasEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER)) {}

  addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, handleOver);

  addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, handleOut);

  addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handlePress);

  addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);

  }

  }

  private void removeListeners() {}

  buttonMode = false;

  mouseEnabled = false;

  removeEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, handleOver);

  removeEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, handleOut);

  removeEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handlePress);

  removeEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);

  }

  private void handleOver(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  {if (e.buttonDown)}

  return;

  }

  _Timer.start ();

  }

  private void handleOut(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  _Timer.reset ();

  dispatchEvent (new Event ("hideTip"));

  }

  private void handleClick(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  _Timer.reset ();

  }

  private void handlePress(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  _Timer.reset ();

  dispatchEvent (new Event ("hideTip"));

  }

  private void timerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void {}

  dispatchEvent (new Event ("tooltip"));

  }

  public function set {tipDelay(num:Number):void}

  _tipDelay = num;

  _Timer = new Timer(_tipDelay,1);

  }

  public function get tipDelay (): number {}

  Return _tipDelay;

  }

  }

  }

• Other questions about drag-and - drop and depth

  Okay, team

  so I know my drag and drop code is probably 'stick' on the mouse event because there is something in front of the object...

  I'm trying to implement the numChildren code in order to bring the object moved forward...

  SO I add this code inside each movable answer...

  addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, changedepth);

  function changedepth(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  this.parent.setchildIndex (this, this.parent.numChildren - 1).

  }

  OK so that part is ok, but my project is quite complex, so now when it goes on the next section or there are children who are have not themselves resets...

  So now I want to put something like that

  addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, removechild);

  function removechild (event. MouseEvent) {}

  this.parent.removeChild(-1);

  }

  but of course this does not... any ideas?

  Cheers for your help

  Void

  You must assign the MOUSE_UP listener on the stage to make him independent object.  If you need to know which object has been moved then store a reference to it in a variable.

  In addition, the removeChild() method argument should be a DisplayObject, not a number

• Child parameter must be non-null. Error #2007

  Hello world!

  I'm about to finish my game (A matching game cards) and I encountered a problem.

  The piece of code tha giving me the problem is:

  Above is the output error I get when clicking on two cards that are the same.

  What is the problem here... I can't fix perhaps because I worked for hours.

  Thanks in advance.

  The problem is probably due to you using an enterframe event continually calling this function.  You must remove this enterframe listener as soon as it has achieved its objectives, or else he will always try to remove objects that they have already been removed.

  You shouldn't bury this function inside the conditional.

  If the goal of all that is simply adds a slight delay before removing objects, you should consider using setTimeout or Timer class instead of using an enterframe scenario.

• as3 XML slideshow

  Hello!

  I recently created a slide show using a xml and actionscript 3 files. I everythhing works perfectly EXCEPT that I try to add the slide indicators and cannot understand it.

• for dysfunction of the loop

  I made this small AS3 practice thing, where you can shoot [with a spaceship] on 'enemies' and get extra points.

  I wanted to make a function that enemy respawns after hitting them.

  I have the spawning enemies using a loop for.

  I also remove the enemies when they are hit.

  the problem now is: for some strange reason, the game keeps spawning enemies and ignoring the loop for...

  
  all variables are defined at the beginning of the script, so I won't include this part:

  These are loops that make enemies spawn

  for (var teller1 = 0; teller1 < 8; teller1 ++) {}
  addvijand1 (null);
  }
  for (var teller2 = 0; teller2 < 8; teller2 ++) {}
  addvijand2 (null);
  }

  
  

  adding the addlisteners

  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, drainage); irrelevant for now: it's controls
  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, schieten); It's the addchild for balls, with included hittest which removes the movieclip of the ball and the enemy and should lessen bij teller1 and teller2 one.
  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, addvijand2); addition of the enemies of type 1
  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, addvijand1); addition of the enemies of type 2 //this is basically the same [just forms and colors] type 1 in the code, so I'm not going to include to make it easier to forget.
  

  
  

  function addvijand2 {(evt:Event)}
  var vijand2: MovieClip = new MovieClip();
  vijanden2.push (vijand2);
  vijand2. Graphics.beginFill (0x22FF00);
  vijand2. Graphics.drawCircle (-5, 10, 10);
  vijand2.x = (Math.random () * 260) + 20;
  vijand2.y = (Math.random () * 200) + 10;
  var glow2:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
  glow2. Color = 0x22FF00;
  glow2.Alpha = 1;
  glow2.blurX = 20;
  glow2.blury = 20;
  glow2. Quality = BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH;
  vijand2.filters = [glow2];
  addChild (vijand2);
  }

  function schieten (evt:Event) {}
  If {(spaceKeyDown)
  var mc: MovieClip = new MovieClip();
  mc.graphics.beginFill (0xFFCC00);
  mc.graphics.drawCircle (3,3,3);
  var glow: GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
  Glow.Color = 0xFFCC00;
  Glow.Alpha = 1;
  glow.blurX = 10;
  glow.blurY = 10;
  Glow.Quality = BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH;
  MC.filters = [glow];
  MC.x = mc_schip.x;
  MC.y = mc_schip.y;
  mc.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moving);
  addChild (mc);
  }
  }

  
  

  function moving (evt:Event) {}
  evt. Target.y-= 20;
  for (var teller1:int = 0; teller1 < vijanden1.length; teller1 ++) {//here it searches if the ball hits an enemy of the table, deletes it if necessary.
  

  If ((vijanden1[teller1]!=null) & & (evt.target.hitTestObject (vijanden1 [teller1]))) {}
  MovieClip(vijanden1[teller1]).removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, vijand1animatie);
  removeChild (vijanden1 [teller1]);
  Score += 2;
  scoretext. Text = "Note:" + score;
  vijanden1 [teller1] = null;
  teller1 +=-1;
  }
  }
  for (var teller2:int = 0; teller2 < vijanden2.length; teller2 ++) {}
  If ((vijanden2[teller2]!=null) & & (evt.target.hitTestObject (vijanden2 [teller2]))) {}

  
  removeChild (MovieClip (vijanden2 [teller2]));
  score += 10;
  scoretext. Text = "Note:" + score;
  vijanden2 [teller2] = null;
  teller2 +=-1;
  }
  }
  If (evt. Target.y < 0) {}
  MovieClip (evt.target) .removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moving);
  removeChild (MovieClip (evt.target));
  }
  }

  I think that the error is with the stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, addvijand...);  part, because it is an ENTER_FRAME event, so he adds enemies of each image.

  But even when I move the loops in the functions of addvijand1/2, or change them, while loops, it still does not work...

  What I am doing wrong?

  Since I have nothing better to do here is a more dynamic version with more features. Now enemies explode, and the ship can be moved with the arrow keys left and right. In addition, it eliminates the need for both enemy who makes hit faster detection:

• PREVIOUS FLV Playback button works only once...

  Hi all..

  I have a FLVPlayer who plays a video and once the video is finished playing, is the BACK button. When you click the REPLAY button the movie again... Everything works fine, except the REPLAY button does work once... sense, once the film played only once and BACK button is cilcked to play again, after that the film is done playing for the 2nd time - the button does not appear... Fact, anyone has an idea on why it's perhaps? any help would be great appreciated. Thanks advance! Here is the code:

  Fl.video import. *;
  import flash.display.MovieClip;
  
  var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
  var mybtn:myBtn = new myBtn();
  var staticpic:staticPic = new staticPic();
  logo: Logo of var = new Logo();
  
  myVideo.source = "BatterypoweredFCM.f4v";
  myVideo.skin = "SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf";
  myVideo.skinAutoHide = true;
  myVideo.skinBackgroundColor = 000.
  myVideo.skinBackgroundAlpha =. 5;
  myVideo.width = 960;
  myVideo.height = 540;
  
  DropShadow
  function init() {}
  var dropShadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();
  dropShadow.distance = 4;
  dropShadow.angle = 90;
  dropShadow.color = 000.
  dropShadow.alpha =.5
  dropShadow.blurX = 10;
  dropShadow.blurY = 8;
  
  logo.filters = new Array (dropShadow);
  }
  
  mybtn.x = 515;
  mybtn.y = 259;
  mybtn.Alpha =. 8;
  
  staticpic.x = 480;
  staticpic.y = 270;
  staticpic.Alpha =. 4;
  
  logo.x = 37;
  logo.y = 11;
  
  myVideo.addEventListener (VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completePlay);
  mybtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, proofreading);
  
  function completePlay(e:VideoEvent):void {}
  addChild (mybtn);
  addChildAt(staticpic,0);
  removeChild (myVideo);
  }
  
  function replay(e:MouseEvent):void {}
  addChildAt(myVideo,0);
  myVideo.play ();
  mybtn. Visible = false;
  staticpic. Visible = false;
  }
  
  addChildAt(myVideo,0);
  addChildAt (logo, 1);
  
  init();

  because you do not visible mybtn and you're never change that.  use:

  Fl.video import. *;

  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();

  var mybtn:myBtn = new myBtn();

  var staticpic:staticPic = new staticPic();

  myVideo.skinAutoHide = true;

  myVideo.skinBackgroundColor = 000.

  myVideo.skinBackgroundAlpha =. 5;

  myVideo.width = 960;

  myVideo.height = 540;

  function init() {}

  var dropShadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();

  dropShadow.alpha =.5

  dropShadow.blurX = 10;

  dropShadow.blurY = 8;

  logo.filters = new Array (dropShadow);

  }

  mybtn.x = 515;

  mybtn.y = 259;

  mybtn.Alpha =. 8;

  staticpic.x = 480;

  staticpic.y = 270;

  staticpic.Alpha =. 4;

  logo.x = 37;

  logo.y = 11;

  myVideo.addEventListener (VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completePlay);

  mybtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, proofreading);

  function completePlay(e:VideoEvent):void {}

  addChild (mybtn);

  addChildAt(staticpic,0);

  removeChild (myVideo);

  }

  function replay(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  addChildAt(myVideo,0);

  myVideo.play ();

  removeChild (mybtn);

  removeChild (staticpic)

  }

  addChildAt(myVideo,0);

• removeChild to clip that was added in another function?

  Hello everyone.  I have 3 different functions for my preloader.  I have an Event.OPEN and a ProgressEvent.PROGRESS Event.COMPLETE.  In the event. Opening function, I create a new variable that is typed the name of class of my preloader I put in its data property dialog box.  It's just an animation simple circle.  Here is my code for this:

  function addPreloader(event:Event):void
  {
  var myPreloader:mcPreloader = new mcPreloader();
  myPreloader.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
  myPreloader.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
  myPreloader.width = 75;
  myPreloader.height = 75;
  addChild (myPreloader);
  }

  My looks of function ProgressEvent.PROGRESS as follows:

  function preloadImages(event:ProgressEvent):void
  {
  var p: Number = Math.round (event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal * 100);
  percent_txt. Text = % + '% ';
  }

  and my Event.COMPLETE function looks as follows:

  function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
  {
  var myLoadedImage:Loader = Loader (event.target.loader);
  addChild (myLoadedImage);
  
  new Tween (Strong.easeIn, 0, 1, 0.5, myLoadedImage, "alpha", true);
  
  event.target.loader.removeEventListener (Event.OPEN, addPreloader);
  event.target.loader.removeEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloadImages);
  event.target.loader.removeEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
  }

  The only problem is that when it's done loading, I would remove the myPreloader from the scene.  Because it is declared in the function Event.OPEN, I can not connect with him via my Event.COMPLETE function.  How can I successfully remove from the scene once he's done loading?  Thank you!

  
  

  Jesse

  Declare it outside your function.  you don't need to create or add to the scene until the auditing function is called.

• call a function to listener programmatically

  I have a function that is called on a ListEvent. I want to call it programmatically on the startup of the program as the default even if the user has not triggered the event.

  How can I do this?

  var tmpE:ListEvent = new ListEvent;
  tmpE.index = 0;
  
  onItemSelected(tmpE);
  
  private function onItemSelected(e:ListEvent):void {
        // some code
  }
  

  It is called and it works very well when the event is raised, but I would like the event to be triggered or call the listener automatically function at startup.

  Dave

  Thanks for the responses... Sorry to be a clear, I was really tired when the post was created.

  I want to be clicked on the list box (blue list as a user has clicked on it by default)

  I call the function of default listener like this:

  var tmpE:ListEvent = new ListEvent("listItemClicked", null, 0, 0, 0, 0, null);
  onItemSelected(tmpE);
  

  and he calls this function to listener:

  private function onItemSelected(e:ListEvent):void {
      if (currentList) {
          rightContainer.removeChild(currentList);
          currentList = null;
      }
  
      trace ("cell:" + e.cell + " data:" + e.data);
  
      switch (e.index) {
          case 0:
              trace("About");
              buildAbout();
              break;
          case 1:
              trace("General");
              break;
      }
      if (currentList) {
          rightContainer.addChild(currentList);
          rightContainer.layout();
      }
  }
  

  The listener function works perfectly if the user selects a list item, it relies also the default option at the start of the first section of code without problem, but the words or the first item in the list is not selected.

  When the program loads the first item by default, it is not obvious to the user that the first item in the list is already loaded and selected because the list item is not selected...

  Thanks for your help guys.

  @pyth... use it in future thanks.

  you get compile errors? I don't see where you add the children initially. usually, when you delete an object that is not a child of the parent calling the removeChild method, it throws an error saying that it must be a child. What exactly is what your buttonOff function looks like?

• addChild; removeChild; addChild

  I have two questions. The first is a specific question (bonehead). The second is more general in nature.

  I try to add a paragraph ("box" MC) text to the movieclip master, it melted and fondu melted apart, remove dynamically, to add the following paragraph and repeat. Here is my as:

  Add box of
  var box_inst:box = new box();
  addChild (box_inst)

  fade in box
  var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween (Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 6, box_inst, "alpha", true);
  myTweenX.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, doNextTween);
  
  fade in out of box
  function doNextTween(e:TweenEvent):void {}
  var myTweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween (box_inst, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 1, 2, true);

  Look for box finish
  myTweenAlpha.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, removeBox);
  }

  Delete "box" and add "box2".
  function removeBox (evt:Event): void
  {
  removeChild (box_inst);
  var box_inst2:box = new box();
  addChild (box_inst2);
  }

  My first question is: "why not load"box_inst2 '?"

  And my second question... Finally I'll run this same process on a few dozen paragraphs. How this is accomplished more effectively? A table? Charger? Not looking for specific script - I will never learn it it - just a direction.

  Thanks, Dan

  It would be = garbage collector.

  class tween Adobe does not support a property of late.  among other shortcomings, that is why many of us use the 3rd party tween classes.  I love greensock (for example, tweenmax and tweenlite) classes.

  You can find a solution by using the adobe tween class and the class timer, but it is so much easier using the greensocks classes.  for example:

  Adobe tween class:

  Import fl.transitions.Tween;

  var delay_int:int = 5000;

  var t:Timer = new Timer(delay_int,1);

  t.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, delayF);

  Add box of
  var box_inst:box = new box();
  addChild (box_inst)

  var myTweenAlpha:Tween

  fade in box
  var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween (box_inst, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 1, true);
  myTweenX.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, doNextTween);

  fade in out of box
  function doNextTween(e:TweenEvent):void {}
  t.Start ();
  }

  function delayF(e:TimerEvent):void {}

  myTweenAlpha = new Tween (box_inst, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 1, 2, true);

  Look for box finish

  myTweenAlpha.addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, removeBox);

  }

  Delete "box" and add "box2".
  function removeBox (evt:Event): void
  {
  removeChild (box_inst);
  var box_inst2:box = new box();
  addChild (box_inst2);
  }

  greensocks tween class

  
  

  import com.greensocks.TweenLite;
  

  var delay_int:int = 5;

  var box_inst:box = new box();

  addChild (box_inst)

  fade in box

  TweenLite.from(box_inst,1,{alpha:0,onComplete:doNextTween,delay:delay_int});)

  function doNextTween (): void {}

  TweenLite.to(box_inst,1,{alpha:0,onComplete:removeBox});)

  }

  function removeBox (): void {}

  var box_inst2:box = new box();

  addChild (box_inst2);

  removeChild (box_inst);

  TweenLite.to

  }

  (p.s when you use the adobe forums, check useful/correct, if there is.)
