Flash :: Actionscript Doesn't Seem To Be Where Flash Says It Is

Flash 5 Actionscript Doesn't Work
I'm working on a project with a friend of mine who is using Flash 5 and I'm using MX.

We are creating a clock that uses a new Date function.

Here is the line of code that's causing the trouble:

shiftchange = new Date(2003, 9, 01, 09, 0, 0);

It works fine on his but not on mine. I get an output error;

Symbol=clockclip, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 3: ')' or ',' expected shiftchange = new Date(2003, 9, 01, 09, 0, 0);

When I save and output in Flash 5 it still doesn't work.

Does MX change things once you open them?

Any suggestions?

Why Doesn't This Actionscript Work In Flash 5?
This actionscript works fine when exported as Flash 6 but doesn't work exported as 5....anyone see why?

onEnterFrame = function() {
currentScore=(questionsCorrect/questionsAttempted) *100;
if (isNan(currentScore)) {
currentScore=0;
}
if (currentScoreDisplayed<currentScore) {
currentScoreDisplayed++;
}
if (currentScoreDisplayed>currentScore) {
currentScoreDisplayed--;
}
if (currentScoreDisplayed>9) {
percentClip._x=388.3;
}
if (currentScoreDisplayed>99) {
percentClip._x=408.3;
}
if (currentScore<20) {
currentRank="Go Ride a 10-Speed";
}
if (currentScore>19) {
currentRank="Rookie Rider";
}
if (currentScore>39) {
currentRank="Been Around the Block";
}
if (currentScore>59) {
currentRank="Open Road Vet";
}
if (currentScore>79) {
currentRank="Leader of the Pack";
}
if (currentScore>99) {
currentRank="HOG Legend";
}
};

[Flash 8] Dynamic Text Field Doesn't Return Value Calculated In ActionScript
Hello,

I am having trouble getting my dynamic text field to populate based on a countdown ActionScript. My dynamic text field's attribute name is time_txt and is set to Dynamic Text in the Properties panel. Here is my code:

Code:
this.onEnterframe = function() {

//Gets current date, year, and time
var today:Date = new Date ();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();

//Denotes target date that we are counting down to
var targetDate:Date = new Date (2008,06,12);
var targetTime = targetDate.getTime();

//Calculates the actual time left between the current date and target date
var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;

//Converst milliseconds into seconds, minutes, hours, and days
var sec = Math.floor(timeleft/1000);
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
var hrs = Math.floor(min/60);
var days = Math.floor(hrs/24);

//Stores remainders of seconds so 130 seconds doesn't look like 2 minutes, 130 seconds, but rather 2 minutes 10 seconds
//Converts sec to a string
//Accounts for sec values under 10 so that 5 reads 05
sec = string(sec % 60);
if (sec.length < 2) {
sec = "0" + sec;
}

//Stores remainders of minutes so 130 seconds doesn't look like 2 hours, 130 minutes, but rather 2 hours 10 minutes
//Converts min to a string
//Accounts for min values under 10 so that 5 reads 05
min = string(min % 60);
if (min.length < 2) {
min = "0" + min;
}

//Stores remainders of hours so 25 hours doesn't look like 1 day, 25 hours, but rather 1 day 1 hour
//Converts hrs to a string
//Accounts for hrs values under 10 so that 5 reads 05
hrs = string(hrs % 24);
if (hrs.length < 2) {
hrs = "0" + hrs;
}

//Converts days into a string
days = string(days);

//String together days, hours, minutes, seconds
var counter:String = days + ":" + hrs + ":" + min + ":" + sec;

//Update dynamic text field
time_txt.text = counter;

}
Any ideas?

Thanks!

[Flash 8] Old Actionscript Doesn't Work In Flash... Help Please
Hello,
I have found a old flash file with endles scrolling gallery. I want to use this and edit it in flash 8 but it doesn't work. So I hope that someone can help me out on this.
When i want to test the movie an error massage apears saying:

Quote:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 8: Syntax error.

}
Total ActionScript Errors: 5 Reported Errors: 5

Here's the action script (It's has 3 frames in the root):
Frame 1:

Code:

mx = getProperty("a1",_x);

set "a" add Number(i) add ":t1", i;
}
frame 2:

Code:

a1.onRelease = function() {
mc = _root.a1._x
if (mc>0 and mc<210)
{
for (i=1; i<=itemnr; i++)
{
mx = getProperty("a" add i, _x);
setProperty ("a" add i, _x, mx-15);

}

}
}

Actionscript Doesn´t Play
Ok, I haven´t done anything in flash for a few months. Just started a new project and *bang* I hit the wall. Just a simple thing and it drives me crazy because I can´t figure out, why.

Imagine two keyframes without names. The first displays a big "1", the second a big "2". The second has the following script assigned:

trace ("2");
gotoAndPlay (1);

But the script doesn´t work. No output from trace, no jump to the first frame. The small "a", indicating a script in frame 2 appears, though. Anyway what´s wrong? I know I´ll kick my ass if I read your reply because it has to be something simple...

Thanks, Hendrik

Why Doesn't This Actionscript Work?
Yesterday I made a post about random things happening when I try to switch between frames. I have taken it down to basics now:

I have 35 frames I have this code in frame 1:

Code:
stop();
gotoAndStop(5);

but will it stop on frame 5? Course it won't!

Any help gratefully recieved, thanks once again..

Actionscript Doesn't Load
Hi; I'm really getting mad.

I have a movie which has some buttons who load images within another movie; I have two of them. One works good both online and offline; the other doesn't load any pictures online (but it loads 'em offline!)! Though, I just modified the former (just stripped it from some frames, which didn't got any working function; it was just frills removed) in order to build the latter!

WHY this happens? :-(

Please have a look!

I really don't know what happens. The owner is beating me for this movie doesn't work, and I don't know how to resolve this problem. I'm in a real problem. Please help!

First Frame Of Actionscript Doesn't Run...
Hi, thanks for looking. I'm trying this in Flash 6.0 and don't want to upgrade.

Here's my goal: I'm trying to animate some eyes to recorded dialog. So, being a newbie, I figure why not create a movie with functions for each direction the eyes can look. up(), down(), etc.

Then in a layer with blank keyframes, I can tell the eyes where to point, even if they are moving in a tween.

_root.eyes.front();
_root.moreEyes.left();

HOWEVER, the problem is this: In the *first* frame the eyes exist, I call the functions, but the direction of the eyes doesn't change. If I repeat the call in the *next* frame, the eyes update where they are looking. The only problem is there is one frame where the eyes are wrong.

The debugger will stop if I breakpoint the function call. The problem is that the display isn't updating.

I tried putting an updateAfterEvent(); call below my actionscript, but that doesn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Beginner Doesn't Get This Actionscript Concept
Hi Folks,

I am attempting to learn the basics(very basic!) of flash programming and global variables.
Here's the scenario:
*********************************************

Frame one contains this actionscript:
var length=0;

Frame two contains this actionscript:
length=length+1;
trace("length in second frame is");
trace(length);
bar._xscale=length;

Frame three contains this actionscript:
length=length+1;
trace("length in third frame is");
trace(length);
bar._xscale=length;
if (length == 100) {
stop()
}
gotoAndPlay(2);
**********************************

Irrelevant of what I am trying to do, in frame three I expected the movie to stop once the global variable "length" reached 100 but this is not the case, the movie continues on.

Now if I make the following in frame 3:
***************************

if (length == 100) {
stop()
}
else{
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
***************************

instead of:
***********************
if (length == 100) {
stop()
}
gotoAndPlay(2);
***********************

all works properly.

Can someone explain to me what I am not understanding in regards to how actionscripting works? Obviously I am missing what seems to be a VERY IMPORTANT concept in actionscripting.

Thanks,

This Should Work, But Doesn't... ActionScript Issues
So I'm making this actionscripted thing to look like a cube spinning with externally loaded pictures. I haven't used flash in a little while, so I don't even know if there's an easier way to do this.

The zip I've added is the one that's not working correctly. It's like the movieClip 'holder2' is ignored. Now here's the wierd part..

If you delete frame one and uncomment the array called 'pics' (obviously the array loaded in from the text file pics.txt).. So all you have is one frame with actions and nothing else. Test the movie and it works correctly. What the??

Or even better, move the LoadVars() to the frame leftover after you delete the first frame and it will work, but the first couple images are undefined because the script is executed too quickly, hence the first frame...

What am I missing?

Actionscript Movement Doesn't Work In FP7
This is the first time i've used actionscript based movement like this for almost 2 years. I tried using this in Flash 7 with As2.0 and this no longer works. What happened that makes this no longer work?

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

speed = 8;
viscosity = 1.5;
// take care of our x position
difference = targetx-_x;
xvelocity = (xvelocity+(difference)/speed)/viscosity;
_x += xvelocity;

}

thanks.

ActionScript 3 XML Basics Doesn't Load The XML
Hey!
I have tried to follow Lee's ActionScript 3 XML Basics tutorial and everything works like a charm when I test it from within flash; the xml data loads and is displayed. But when I publish the files, upload them to my webserver and try the very same files the page stalls. I look in the activities panel of Safari and it says that the following file can't be found:

http://theflashblog.com/crossdomain.xml

Any explanations why this is?

[Actionscript 3] Doesn't Like Root.variables
ok I put this code on the main time line:

Code:

var myVar = "something";

if I make create a movieclip and on the first frame trace(root.myVar) I get this error:

Quote: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property myVar through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.

Why? Even if I use the target tool in flash and choose Absolute it gives me 'root' for my main time line.

How can I get my variable off the main time line with an absolute path?

Preloader Actionscript Doesn't Work On Macintosh?
I recently constructed a one scene Flash site with a 'totalbytes' and 'getbytes' preloader (code below). The swf file plays fine on both platforms (PC-n-Mac). BUT the problem is that the preloader loops when published and played in a Mac Browser. It will not advance to the correct frame when loaded (frame 16). I have read numerous reviews on Java and FS errors on Mac browsers, will the 'getBytesLoaded' work on Mac browsers?

loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1024);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1024);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
stopAllSounds ();
gotoAndStop (16);
}
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.frame);
}

Does this type of preloader / script work only on a PC browser? or is there something wrong w/ my script?

Note: Both browsers on my mac are current versions.

Thanks in advance for any help--Marcos

Actionscript Doesn't Work When Load Movie
I made an image scroller and it works fine. But then when I load the scoller in a movieclip in another flash file, it doesn't work, the buttons click but nothing happens. It works if I load it in the root level. but when I put the loadmovie actionscript within a movieclip the scroller does not work. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Actionscript Compiler Finds An Error But Doesn't Say So
Hi! I just spent about an hour very frustrated, because suddenly Flash was ignoring 100% of my actionscript. At first I thought I was having a bug like these people, but I soon realised it would still show compiler errors if iI introduced any typos into my script...

Long story short, I discovered my code would still compile if I commented out some of my actionscript, and I tracked it down to a single line: I had accidentally written
var endPt:Point = new Point(curX+=xOff,curY+=yOff);
A silly mistake, I simply wasn't paying attention..

the problem is, neither was the compiler?? I received NO Compiler Error messages, Output window messages, absolutely no feedback from flash at all, just a complete absence of ActionScript in my SWF. It took me a while to realise it was an "invisible" compiler error that was giving me an SWF without actionscript in it. The debugger obviously wouldn't help me either since there was no AS to connect to.

Why was the compiler unable to tell me what line it found a problem on? Why would it not even tell me it had found a problem, just silently running my SWF instead?

Actionscript: If Statement Doesn't Work Correctly?
Hi folks.

I've got a movie clip called 'soundToggle'. It's default position points to 9 (imagine a clock face). On click, it rotates via 12 and points to 3. Here comes the problem. When I click it again, I want it to rotate back to 9 (via 12) but it doesn't.

The first part works fine, but when you click it a second time it does nothing. I've traced the statement and I'm not sure why. Here's the code I use on a frame:

_root.soundToggle.rot = 0;
_root.soundToggle.music=true

_root.soundToggle.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.music)
{
if (this.rot < 180)
{
this.rot= this.rot+4;
this._rotation = this.rot;
}
this.music=false
}
else if (this.rot > 0)
{
this.rot= this.rot-4;
this._rotation = this.rot;
}
this.music = true
}
}

Any help would be much appreciated.

String Replace Via Actionscript, Doesn't Work...
Since there is no built-in string replace function for flash and actionscript, so I did the user defined function to take care of that. The user defined function is what I found from the the google search.

Code:

function strReplace(thisStr,what,byWhat) {
while (thisStr.indexOf(what)>-1) {
var tmp = thisStr.split(what);
thisStr = tmp.join(byWhat);
}
return (thisStr);
}

It was working great until it goes into an infinite loop when the parameters was used in strReplace() function like this...

Code:

test = strReplace(strData,"McDonald","<a href='blah blah'>McDonald</a>");

Then I found that in the function code above which showed that the loop that never reached the end of the string as it would start a new loop again once it is finished. So, I did a different function instead..

Code:

function strReplace(thisStr,what,byWhat){
var counter=0;

while (counter<thisStr.length) {
var startPos = thisStr.indexOf(what, counter);

if (startPos == -1) {
break;
} else {
var before=thisStr.substr(0,startPos)
var after=thisStr.substr(startPos+what.length,thisStr.length)
thisStr=before+byWhat+after
var counter=before.length+replace.length
}
}
return thisStr;
}

So, I tried it again and it still go into an infiinite loop. So, what did I do wrong? Need someone with a fresh eyes to see the codes...

Thanks,
FletchSOD

GotoAndPlay Doesn't Work As Actionscript On Main Timeline?
Hi,
I made this file when you get to the first frame, an Actionscript code tells a mc to play. The code is simple:
_root.my_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
The thing is, the mc starts, but then stops on the second frame. Why?

But then, when I assign my action to a button, it works...
Please help

Help--Flash Doesn't See My Fonts
I'm sure this is, embarrasingly, an elementary Windows issue but, for some reason, the Flash text tool isn't recognizing the new pixel fonts I loaded into my C:/Windows/Fonts folder unless, for yet some other unknown reason, I preview the fonts in ThumbsPlus (a thumbnail-reading program).

Background: when I download the fonts (.zip files), I unzipped the fonts directly into the Windows/Fonts folder.

Anyone know what I've done wrong?

THANKS!

ASPMail And Flash....Ya I Know...I'm The Only One Who Doesn't Get It
Hey all,

Ok, I have been trying and trying, and I can't seen to get this ASP mail thing to work.

In my Flash movie I have 1 Input text box with an instance name of "email" I have a button that is names "Submit" and the code is:

on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("aspmailthing.asp", "0", "POST");
}

Then I have that file named (for some reason ASPMAILTHING.ASP)
with the following code.

<%
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
Mailer.FromName = "email"
Mailer.FromName = "Contact Form On MMMYEAH"
Mailer.FromAddress= "signup@mmmyeah.com"
Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.mmmyeah.com"
Mailer.AddRecipient "Erling and Jeff ", "signup@mmmyeah.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Contact Form on MMMYEAH"
strMsgHeader = "Form information follows" & vbCrLf
for each qryItem in Request.Form
strMsgInfo = strMsgInfo & qryItem & " - " & request.Form(qryItem) & vbCrLf
next
strMsgFooter = vbCrLf & "End of form information"
Mailer.BodyText = strMsgHeader & strMsgInfo & strMsgFooter
if Mailer.SendMail then
Response.Write "l"
else
Response.Write "Mail send failure. Error was " & Mailer.Response
end if
%>

That is what I have, and nothing happens. Could someone please look over the code and see where my mistake might be?

Thanks,

Jeff

Flash Doesn't Update From PHP? O.o
Ok, in flash, I have one simple line:

loadVariables("system/scripts/menu_is.php", "_root");

It works great, PHP prints directly to the variable it's suppost to.
One major problem, which I hope can be fixed somehow. When I change the PHP file to print something else, the FLASH SWF file on the website does NOT update unless I'v closed out the browser and/or opened a new one to the site, or clear all temporary internet files and hit the refresh button on the browser. Those are the ONLY two ways it will update that flash file. Is there some way to fix this or get around it? Please, anyone that can help.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't Work Outside Of Flash

Safari - It Doesn't Seem To Like Flash
Right this is fast turning into the worst day of my flash based life.

Won't play in Safari - have tested it in modzilla on Mac, Internet (Hate) Explorer on PC, it works fine.

What am I doing wrong, here is a test file, it does the same thing as my movie (it's a little large so I'm only posting it if i get desperate).

The problem apears when externally loaded files (movies into movies, txt files into dynamic text boxes) don't load in.

Some body I know who works with flash said it might be to do with naming structures. But I've stuck to simple names - no dashes or spaces etc.

I just don't know, surfice to say I'm at my wits end.

Any help greatly appricated.

Flash Doesn't Load
Hi I have a hosting website, http://www.exonhost.com and I recently bought a new Template from TemplateMonster. It will load in IE but when on IE 6 if you try to go on a different page it screws up the HTML.

Also it just comes as a blank white box in firefox. However when I open it up on my own computer like from my desktop to firefox it's all right. Any ideas?

[CS3] Flash Animation Doesn't Appear After
I've made a flash animation and inserted it into a table in Dreamweaver. When I preview in the browser the animation appears, but having uploaded the html and swf files to the server the flash animation is no where to be seen. Where am I going wrong?

Font Doesn't Appear In Flash
Can anyone tell me what to do when you want to use a particular font in Flash (the font being Trajan-pro) but it doesn't show up on your fonts list? I've used the font for my main navigation buttons in Photoshop but of course I can't use them in Flash because they don't appear in the list. I thought the next best step would be to create graphics of the buttons in PS and import them into Flash as gifs (I also tried them as PNG's). They imported ok and looked spot on as symbols until I made them buttons - then they just turned to custard bascially and looked all bitsy. With the gifs the bottom part was cut off when converted to a button. What a nightmare. I'm new to Flash so I'm guessing there's a really easy solution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to get the ball rolling on this site. Cheers.

I've attached a file of the nav bar just in case I haven't explained what I mean clearly enough.

Flash In Div Doesn't Show Up
Here is the page in question: http://korbyimagery.net/
The header graphic should be flash (the candle in the logo should flicker and the right hand graphic should be a link). I have the same image only static in the background. If I remove the static image the header is black. Why isn't the flash showing up?

Flash Installs...but Doesn't
I can't see videos on such sites as YouTube, TMZ ect. I just get "You need Flash Player version 8 or higher to view this video".
I download (repeatedly) the latest version. I delete Flash and then reload Flash. Nothing. Same thing.
Even in the Adobe web site, whin I get the "Adobe Flash Player successfully installed" video message, I immediately go to another part of the site, and it tells me that I need Flash to view that content! Urgh! Help!

My Flash Doesn't Work On IE 8
I am a webmaster with an existing flash on http://www.patriciawells.com No changes to the flash in about a year. Works great on IE 7, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, etc....

Downloaded IE 8 Beta 2 this morning and the flash doesn't work.... Displays an x in the box (like a missing pix on an html page).

Called Microsoft and they basically told me take a long walk off a short pier.... So much for them caring about how their beta works....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
