Flash :: Getting Error From Book Code

SitePoint Book Error?
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code.
I have reviewed it many times but it doesn't seem to work like the book shows it to work...This is the VERTICAL NAVIGATION from COOL EFFECTS AND PRACTICAL ACTION SCRIPTING....
The clips that I created act weird, could it be that I am using Flash 8?
It's driving me nuts...Thanks for your help =)

_global.speed = 1.3;
_global.stickiness =8;
_global.baseX = 5;
_global.finalX = 30;
function moveOut()
{
this.xStep = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if (this._x < finalX)
{
difference = finalX - this._x;
this.xStep = (this.xStep + difference * speed)/stickiness;
this._x += this.xStep;
}

I have just added these three lines to a previously working fla:

import flash.net.LocalConnection;

var sender:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sender.send("_exampleChannel", "example", "a string", 6.5, true);

My intent is to test passing data back to another fla. Right now the data I'm sending is nonsense. I'm just trying to test the connection and get it working. Any help is appreciated.

Here is the entire block of code:

import fl.controls.RadioButton;
import flash.net.LocalConnection;

var seqNum:Number = new Number();
var question:String = new String();
var actual_answer;
var submit_answer;

var end_result:uint = new uint();

function setVariable(quext:String) {
trace("Quext = "+quext);
Question_display.text = quext;
}

//*************** from the parent program ***************************
seqNum = 1;
//question = "New York is the capitol of the USA."
actual_answer = "FALSE";
//*******************************************************************

Question_display.backgroundColor = 0x0000FF;

//********* EventListeners for the buttons **************************

}
else {

}
//*************** send to the parent program ********************
trace("Your conclusions are "+end_result+".");
//*************** send to the parent program ********************
var sender:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sender.send("_exampleChannel", "example", "a string", 6.5, true);

}

Submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sub_answer);

Easy Code From A Book. But Does Not Work
Hey guys, I got this code straight out of a Flash Actionscript book but I can't get it to work. The output panel does not show an error, but the code does not do what it should. It is a mouse trail

Any thoughts, would be appreciated

Quote:

onClipEvent(load){
//CREATE 10 CURSOR FOLLOWERS
for(var i=0;i<10;i++){
_root.attachMovie("glitter","glitter"+i,i);
}
//START THE ARRAY
trail = new Array();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//MARK THE MOUSE LOCATION
cursorLoc = {x:_root._xmouse, y:_root._ymouse};
//ADD THE NEW LOCATION TO THE ARRAY
trail.push(cursorLoc);
//DELETE THE OLDEST LOCATION
if(trail.length > 10) trail.shift();
//CHANGE THE POSITIONS OF ALL CURSOR FOLLOWERS
for(var i=0; i<trail.length; i++) {
_root["cursor"+i]._x = trail[i].x;
_root["cursor"+i]._y = trail[i].y;
_root["cursor"+i]._alpha = i*10; //CHANGE BLEND TO
}
}

Where Is The Code Archive For The Flash Anthology Book?
I just recently downloaded this book but cannot find the code archive anywhere on this site. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks.

Where Is The Error In My Code...?

dama -> the name of button (I have 4 buttons but different numbers on the end)
ok -> name of a movie clip

The problem is that ok is shown even if i only click dama button once.

Thanks for your help!

myData.onLoad = function() {
devonhouse1text.html = true;
devonhouse1text.htmlText = this.devonhouse1;

Error In Code
I have run into this problem a couple of times in different parts of my code.
I keep getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main_final_fla::MainTimeline/onEnter().

I am now trying to access a movie from my main timeline so that when the movie reaches frame 54, the main timeline goes to frame label begin.
Here is the code that I am using on the main timeline:

stop();

introAnim.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);

function onEnter(event:Event):void
{
if (introAnim.currentFrame >= 54)
{
gotoAndPlay("begin");
}
}

Thanks for any help with this.

Error With Code - Why?
Hi all

I have a simple function below which is passed a number as an argument. I use this argument as part of a line of code which tells 1one of four movieclips (instance names of 1, 2, 3 and 4) to move to a specific frame label, however it hasn't been working and I only found errors were being generated when I changed the line of code (you can see where I commented out my old line of code):

function MoveToFrame(frm) {
_global.kbc = frm;
//_level0.picHolder_mc.frm.gotoAndStop("used");
_level0.picHolder_mc.2.gotoAndStop("used"); // here i hard coded to see if it made a difference
}

The error I am getting is as follows:

**Error** Symbol=textContent, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 6: Syntax error.
_level0.picHolder_mc.2.gotoAndStop("used");

Why is there an error occuring and how do I rectify it?

Thanks in advance.

Error Code For My AS3
I have a button that I tween the alpha 0 - 100 over a series of frames and
on the last frame I place a stop action on another layer. I name the button
btnproducts and I want it
to link to another frame, so I use this AS3 code:

btnproducts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick2);
function buttonClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(54);
};

When testing it, I get this error:

The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded.

What is wrong?

Thanks!

Php Code Error
Ok so I have one input text box and a send button next to it. when u type your email addy in the box and hit send i want it to email your addy to my address. Ok everything is lookin coded correctly except my php, here it is: i know this is completely wrong but its my sad attempt

Can U Find The Error In This Code?
I have this code that causes the movie clip to jump to a specific frame, depending on which radio button the user selects.
The problem is, for the first radio button (rfss) it only works once, and only if it is the first choice for the user. If the user selects one of the other radio buttons first, then they cannot select the first RB (it just won't jump to the frame, although the RB is visually selected).

Also, if the user does select the first RB first, the RB is not visually filled in (selected), even though it jumps to the right frame.

//CODE

stop();
function onChange(component){

if (forms.getValue()=="rfss"){
gotoAndStop(2);

}else if (forms.getValue()=="newid"){
gotoAndStop(3);

}else if (forms.getValue()=="terminate"){
gotoAndStop(4);

}else if (forms.getValue()=="authprod"){
gotoAndStop(5);

}else if (forms.getValue()=="helpdesk"){
gotoAndStop(6);

}
}

Can anyone help me out?

THANKS!

Help, Help, Need To Solve The Error In My Code.
I attached the fla.

Here is the query:

on a MC (call it MC_a) placed on a mask layer (inside another MC, call it MC_main) I have the following code:

Movieclip.prototype.floatTo = function (speed, endx, endy) { var dist_x, dist_y, vel_x, vel_y;speed = "."+speed;dist_x = Math.round(endx-_x);dist_y = Math.round(endy-_y);vel_x = dist_x*speed;vel_y = dist_y*speed;_x += vel_x;_y += vel_y;};

I placed MC_main on the root timeline (a parent to the child MC_a which has the above code). On MC_main I have the following:

on (release) {

floatTo_a(3, 235, 0);

}

The problem is that MC_a on the mask layer moves partially, and does not "float" to its end x. each time I release, MC_a moves in increments to the end x.

I've used this prototype before and it has woked well.

Can anyone help me make my MC float to its end x?

Thank you

Typing Code Error
I've been reading tutorials and I see that I need to type in some code. My problem is that when I try to start the code, the program isn't giving me any place to type in the code.

I'm simply trying to make a sprite move around the screen. Basic up, down, left, and right movements. I see what the code is to do so...just don't know why I can't type in anything. Am I doing something wrong or is flash acting funny on me? Thanks!!!

[F8] Need Quick Fix For Code Error
Hi. I have a movieclip button which when pressed directs the playhead to another frame. This is the code I use:

PHP Code:

_root.submit.onRelease = function() {
    if (answer == "silence") {
            gotoAndPlay("correct");
            result += 1;
            questionNum++;
    } else {
        gotoAndPlay("incorrect");
        questionNum++;
    }
}

However, I also need to add a keypress action.
This is the code I used:

PHP Code:

_root.submit.on(release, keyPress "<Enter>") = function() {
    if (answer == "silence") {
            gotoAndPlay("correct");
            result += 1;
            questionNum++;
    } else {
        gotoAndPlay("incorrect");
        questionNum++;
    }
}

IT DOESN'T WORK!
Returns a 'expected field name after (.).

How would I write this simple bit of code?

Cheers folks!

[CS3] AS2 - Code Gives Error In Flashplayer 9, But Not In 7
Hi there,

I just imported a fire animation to my flash movie from another flash movie(copy-paste). It gives the following error:

Quote:

')' or ',' expected - duplicateMovieClip("mcFlame", "Flame" add index, index);

When I set my movie to play in flashplayer 7 it has no error(only other things..), but in flash 9 it gives this. Can I re-write the code or something?

This is the code:

Quote:

duplicateMovieClip("mcFlame", "Flame" add index, index);

xcoord=Math.random()*10;
xStretch=Math.random()*50;
yStretch=Math.random()*100;
opacity=Math.random()*60;

setProperty("Flame" add index, _x, xcoord);
setProperty("Flame" add index, _xscale, xStretch);
setProperty("Flame" add index, _yscale, yStretch);
setProperty("Flame" add index, _alpha, opacity);

++index;

Hi All,

could any one help me to load the swf through MovieClipLoader.

Code:
var holder_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth())
var cliploader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader()
var cliploaderlis:Object = new Object()
cliploaderlis.onLoadStart = function(clip:MovieClip) {
trace ("loadstart")
clip._width = 300
var init:Object = {_x:60, _y:60}//{_x:Stage.width/2, _y:Stage.height/2}
_root.attachMovie("loader", "loaderclip", _root.getNextHighestDepth()+1, init)
}
cliploaderlis.onLoadProgress = function(clip:MovieClip, bytesloaded:Number, bytestotal:Number) {
trace (bytesloaded + ", " + bytestotal)
}
cliploaderlis.onLoadInit = function(clip:MovieClip) {
trace ("loadinit - " + clip)
}
cliploaderlis.onLoadComplete = function(clip:MovieClip) {
trace ("loadcomplete")
}

cliploader.addListener(cliploaderlis)
cliploader.loadClip("EarlyMiser_330x340.swf", holder_mc)

Code Error Only In Flash 8
Hello,

When I publish the code below in Flash 8 I get the following error message.

Quote:

**Error** Symbol=part3_mc, layer=Action, frame=1:Line 4: ')' or ',' expected
duplicateMovieClip(tremble, "tremble" add c, c);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Code:
a = 5;
b = 9;
c = 14;
duplicateMovieClip(tremble, "tremble" add c, c);
tremble._x = random(a);
tremble._y = random(b);
tremble._alpha = random(45);
tremble._rotation = random(a);
When published in Flash 7 it works just fine.

I can't seem to figure out exactly what syntax it wants and where. If anyone could lead me in the right direction to make it work in Flash 8 I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, Jason.

player1.speed = 5;
player1.onEnterFrame = moveStuff;

[code]

it works fin but when we use the frase "gotoAndPlay" it doesn't it just goes to that frame and stops, can someon tell me whats wrong with it?

Error In Cluster Code
Hi,

I'm trying to cluster pictures on time, which means that if a picture is made within 5 min after the previous one, they will be clustered together, the more pictures, the larger the cluster. I've already have function that sorts the pictures into two groups namely clusterpics and doubtpics. doubtspics contains pictures that doesn't belong to the previous picture/cluster, but could belong to another cluster. Therefore it has to be checked wether the latter situation is true and if not, they have to become linepics. Now my error will be in the next code, where I want to seperate the doubtpics. The code does find that some doubtpics still belong to the clusterpics, but the weirdest part is that the other doubtpics won't become line pics.

Code:
function ClusterDoubtPics() {

var match = false;
var t:int = 0;
var u:int = 0;
var v:int = 0;
var w:int = 0;
var counter3 = 0;

for (t=0; t < doubtpics.length; t++) { // it is still possbile that there are clusterpics among the doubthpics so they have to be seperated.
match = false;

for (u=0; u < clusterPics.length; u++) { // it will run for each doubtpic

if (doubtpics[t] == clusterPics[u]) { // when there is a match
match = true;// doubtpic will become clusterPic
doubtpics[t] = clusterPics[u];
trace ("doubtpic " + clusterPics[u] + " is a clusterPic");
}
}
if (match == false) {// if not
doubtpics[t] = linePics[counter3]; // doubtpic will become a linePic
counter3++;
trace ("doubtPic"+ linePics[teller3] + " is a linePic");
}
}
}
There are eight doubtpics, of which 5 clusterpics and 3 linepics. When I trace I'll get the following result:

doubtpic IMG_3380.jpg is a clusterPic
doubtpic undefined is a linePic
doubtpic IMG_3386.jpg is a clusterPic
doubtpic IMG_3392.jpg is a clusterPic
doubtpic IMG_3396.jpg is a clusterPic
doubtpic undefined is a linePic
doubtpic IMG_3401.jpg is aclusterPic
doubtpic undefined is a linePic

these undefined should be pics 3384, 3400 and 3404, which means that the order is okay, but why does flash see them as undefined.

Find An Error In My Code
Hi, I know this is probably asking a lot but could someone check my code for errors?

The error is get is:

}
}
} else if (what=="f") {

}
}
return closest;
}

//Returns the distance of two objects
function getDistance(o1,o2) {

}

giveFunction("red","queen");
giveFunction("blue","queen");

It was all going smoothly when I got normal syntax errors and such and then this....
I'm new to AS3.0 and would appreciate any help.
Thanks ahead.

Custom Error Code
We are using server side action script to perform authentication to block certain users from streaming our videos.

We want to display a meaningful error message on the web page/flash player if the authentication fails. The manual briefly mentions that error status codes can be used for error-handling scripts. Can someone provide some more details? In our case, we want to have a custom error status code and somehow the status code can be propagated to the client such that the appropriate message can be shown. Thanks.

Code Error For Hyperlink
I am in flash 9 and creating a basic hyperlink on one of my text layers.
I converted the text to a button and then went to the actions panel and entered the following code:
on(release)
{
getURL("

Error Code For Hyperlink
I have a menu that is made out of a street sign. it is layered on top of my flash file. I created the flash and now need to do my hyperlinks for the menu within flash9. I did some more research on the internet for tutorials on creating buttons.

I created an invisible button over the text following this tutorial:
http://www.developingwebs.net/flash/...blebuttons.php

The only thing thas I'm confused with is that when I click on the button on the stage and then go to actions, I don't see the button on the menu on the left. I copy and past the following script:

getURL("http://www.southbridgesecurity.htm. ", "_self");

and it won't work. I never set the invisible buttons on any layer (I followed the tutorial to a "T".

Please help!!!! I'm so close to getting it finished but this is holding me up.

Thanks!
