Performing An Action For Every 3% Loaded...
My code is below.....I have a "count" variable initialized in the first keyframe, set to 1. I have 32 squares on my screen. Every 3%, I want one of them to randomly popup.
I have 1 pop up when the streaming is at 4.9KB/s and 3 pop up when its set to 20KB/s. Thats all. Does my if statement look correct? Thanks, I can explain more if my task isn't clear.

onClipEvent(load) {
array2 = new Array();
for (r=1;r<=4;r++) {
for (c=1;c<=8;c++) {
array2.push("a"+String(r)+String(c));
}
}
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
total_bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded_bytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();

myNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*array2.length);
square = array2.splice(myNum, 1);

if (((loaded_bytes/total_bytes)*100) >= (3*_root.count)) {
_root[square]._alpha = 100;
_root.count++;
}

if (count == 32) {
_root.play();
}
}

Animate Out Before Performing Action
hello!

so i'm somewhat new at this and am trying to figure out how to create a scene that stops and then on button click, will animate out before performing another action.

i found the following script but am not sure how to use it, can anyone out there help me out.

thanks in advance.

stop();
function slideOutThenJump(targ_mc, targ_x, seconds, label) {
trace("Called slideOut");
// How far away is the target X position?
var diff = targ_x-targ_mc._x;
// How many pixels per second to animate for 'seconds' seconds?
// Assumes a setInterval of 66ms
pxPerInt = Math.ceil((diff/seconds)/15);
_global.animInterval = setInterval(anim, 66, targ_mc, targ_x, pxPerInt, label);
}
function anim(targ_mc, targ_x, pxPerInt, label) {
targ_mc._x += pxPerInt;
if (targ_mc._x>=targ_x) {
clearInterval(_global.animInterval);
_root.gotoAndStop(label);
}
}
slideOutThenJump(_root.test_mc, 200, 1, "myLab");

Performing An Action When Mouse Is Still
I am using flash mx2004 and I am trying to think if there is a way to perform an action when the user's mouse is still.

I want the program to play music when the mouse is moving, but stop it when the mouse is still.

To play the sound I use:

_root.pos=0;
_global.myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("song"+curtrack+".mp3", true);
myMusic.start((_root.pos),1000);

To stop I use:

_root.pos=myMusic.position;
myMusic.stop();

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

Dragging An Object Then Performing An Action
Hi guys,

Im having some trouble trying to get this code written correctly. Basically im trying to drag an object and when it hits the target then go to a specific frame depending on the current frame. Else if currently on a different frame go to another specified frame instead. Confusing i know but if you have a look at these two attempts below you will get a better idea what im trying to do:

----------------------------------------------------------------

on (press) {
startDrag("/record1");
}
on (release, dragOut) {
stopDrag();
if (getProperty("/record1", _droptarget) eq "/target1") {
tellTarget ("_root") {
_root._currentframe==1
gotoAndPlay(33);
}
}
else if (getProperty("/record1", _droptarget) eq "/target1") {
tellTarget ("_root") {
_root._currentframe==10
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
}

----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------
on (press) {
startDrag("/record1");
}
on (release, dragOut) {
stopDrag();
if (_root._currentframe==1){
(getProperty("/record1", _droptarget) eq "/target1")
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndPlay(33);
}
}
else if (_root._currentframe==10){
(getProperty("/record1", _droptarget) eq "/target1")
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
}

----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks.

Checking For Dynamic Text And Performing Action
Hi I need some help with this code.

I have this button, who's text is loaded dynamically, the button text is inside an mc, I need for the dynamic text's mc to be invisible when no dynamic text is loaded and visible when text is loaded.

Currently the button on its visible state sits on frame label "on" and I've created another frame labeled "off", I just don't know how to put together the action to make the frame switch to "off" when no dynamic text is loaded to make the button invisible.

any help would be appreciated.

Playing An "outro" Then Performing An Action
Hello all,

I'm having a problem figuring out something which I'm assuming is pretty simple.

Basically, I have some navigation. Each navigation item has it's own area in the main timeline which contains a movie clip with the actual content. That movie clip has an "intro" and an "outro". When you click on one of the sections respective buttons, I'd like it to play the active section's "outro" and then once that is done, go to the that sections area on the main timeline and play the "intro" (essentially the first frame).

I've uploaded an test fla to:
http://www.houser02.com/test.fla

Can anyone be of any help?

Thanks in advance!

Action Panel Change
I usually work in MX but because i'm working with someone elses source files, I've been forced to upgrade to 2004 prof. On the outside, it didn't seems much different but when I try and create some basic actionscript, I see it's changed big style. I only know basic commands so I always used to create my AS in normal mode as I don't do enough to remember the syntax. I always used the drop down menus and text input fields but they now seem to have been removed – can this be true? I only upgraded because I was forced to, is there no way to get the new actions panel to work the way of the old i.e. in normal mode rather than expert?

.:: Performing Currentframe Check... But HOW? ::..
OK, here's what i want to do

on (press) {
if (_currentframe=3) {
stop();
} else {
tellTarget ("object") {
gotoAndPlay(16);
target = "3";
}
}
}

I'll check currentmovie frame - if it's 3 then i want to do nothing
if if's other than to i want it to tellTarget "object" to play frame 16 and then in the frame 16 there's a command

_root.gotoAndStop(target);

so it goes back to _root and plays frame (variable target) 3 (defined in button above).

It works OK, unless I add this if/else sentence... then it doesn't.

So basicaly, what I want to achive is to perfom a check if the current frame = target frame if yes - I want to do nothing.

I understand if I have three text boxes... giving var names of "a","b", and "c" I could do...

a=2*3
b=3+4
c=a+b

However that is me typing in the value of "a" and "b".
How can I do it so another person can type in the two values so "C" can calculate the value?

XML Performing Actionscript Link
Hello,

I've been searching around for a way to have one or two words of my dynamic XML perform an on release, loadMovie action, is this possible?

I've seen ways to have the entire child load a movie, but I just want a couple words to do this.

What I had before was some text, with a link that grabbed an external SWF and loaded it into a blank movieclip, but now I converted everything to XML and obviously can't get this to work. Any ideas? I can get HTML to work fine from my XML file, but can't get a portion of the text to perform an Actionscript link.

Any help would be much appreciated!

* Operator Not Performing For Scrubber
hey guys...i am making a scub bar for a video player. Right now, all is fine, except the actual scrub script. When i press the loadBar (dynamically scaling as video loads) the video stops. the crazy thing is on the 3rd line, if i change the operator to "/" it works like i want it to, only mirror image (move the pointer left, the scubber goes right). What's up with that * operator?

Code:
loadBar.onPress = function() {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = scrubIt;
};
loadBar.onRelease = loadBar.onReleaseOutside=function () {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = checkPlayhead;
};

function scrubIt() {
var distance = (_root._xmouse-loadBar._x)/loadBar._width;
newVidPlace = Math.floor(stStreamer.duration * distance);
stStreamer.seek(newVidPlace);
progressBar._xscale = (stStreamer.time/stStreamer.duration)*100;

Performing A Sub Sort On A Multidimensional Array
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if you could help me please.

I have the following multidimensional array:

Code:
var bestSize:Array = new Array();
bestSize.push( { counter: small, order: "1", productSize: "S" } );
bestSize.push( { counter: medium, order: "2", productSize: "M" } );
bestSize.push( { counter: large, order: "3", productSize: "L" } );
bestSize.push( { counter: xlarge, order: "4", productSize: "XL" } );
bestSize.push( { counter: xxlarge, order: "5", productSize: "XXL" } );
I want to first of all sort the array in descending order on "counter". I then want to perform a sub sort on "order" to arrange the values in ascending order. I can peform the first sort by doing...

Code:
bestSize.sortOn("counter", Array.DESCENDING)
...or by creating the following function...

Code:
function sortBySizeCounter(counterValue1, counterValue2)
{
var a, b;
a = counterValue1["counter"]
b = counterValue2["counter"]
if (a > b)
{
return -1;
}
else if (b > a)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0
}
}
bestSize.sort(sortBySizeCounter);
I would like to know if somebody could suggest a way in which I could perform the required sub sort.

I am fairly new to ActionScript so apologise if this sounds like a dumb question.

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Kind Regards,

Joe

Button Instance Not Performing Correctly
i have a button that when it is held down for over 2 seconds it will jump to a frame, and jump to a different frame if just pressed and not held down. I have the code working, I am trying to apply it to an instance of another button(named fwd1). If i drop the actionscript in the first frame of my actions layer it works, but not just for the frames where the button instance is defined as fwd1, but all frames of the button that aren't given an instance name. If I give the button an instance name other that fwd1 somewhere on the timeline, then the button wont work on any frame past that point, even if i setup a keyframe and add the fwd1 instance to the button somewhere farther down the timeline. Isn't the point of button instance names to allow you to code them differently on different frames but not have to create a different button?? Should I just create a new button??
thank you for any insight into this matter..
