Flash :: How To Invoke A Function On DynamicTextField Change

Invoke A Global Function From A MC?
Hi,

I know this might be a question for the Newbie forum but here goes anyway -

In MX, I have a function on the main time line, which fades in a MC:

Code:
inertia = 5;

function Fadein(by) {
this._alpha += (by - this._alpha)/_root.inertia;
}
How do I call it from an onClipEvent handler?
Will it even work?
Do I have to target the MC I'm invoking it from?

Arrrggghhhhh help!

I know I'm missing the obvious.

Actually I may have approached it in the wrong way, so this is what I'm trying to do:

I have about sixty movieClips which fade (and eventually spin ,move, etc) in at various times in this projector - I just want to write a global function, so I don't have to re-write all the code in an onClipEvent handler every time.

Cheers in advance for any help.

Invoke A Function In An External Swf
Okay, I know it has to be possible one way or another...I want to be able to invoke a function in an external file from the host file and vis-a-versa. Here is what I have...three files:

Main Movie
External A
External B

The Main Movie loads in External A. In External A I have a button. On click it tells Main Movie to load in External B. I also want it to tell Main Movie to call a function within External B. Is there anyway to make this happen or really, anything that might help me?

Thanks...

Invoke Function After OnResize
hi.
i'm writing a dynamic scrollbar class and have run into some problems regarding the Stage.onResize function.
resizing itself works very well, though i would like to call a function _after_ (!) the resizing is done, like a callback.

ive been reading, googling and asking round but i cant get it straight.
is it impossible? i mean, come on, there must be workarounds..

i would rather not use an interval or an onEnter here (cpu issues), eventhough i know it can be solved with this..

thanks,
fred

Eval To Invoke A Function
Hello,

I have some functions named like sixtoone() sixtotwo() sixtothree() etc..

I am returning a value from those functions like this;

ActionScript Code:
this.cur = "six" // if this is onetosix() function for example
return(this.cur)

so what I am doing next is to add this value to invoke the other function on a button action like this;

ActionScript Code:
planning.onRelease = function() {
gimme = cur+"toone()"
trace(gimme) // this gives me sixtoone() but it don't invoke the funtion.

};

so you have already guess, how should I use eval to get this function invoke..

thanks in advance.

Dynamic Movie Clip Reference, Invoke Function In Mc
Happy new year all!!

I'd like to invoke a function inside a mc from it's parent, but I want to have the reference to the clip be dynamic. When I path the mc directly and invoke the function it works, how would I make that same reference work dynamically.

Here's a sample of what I'm trying to do:

Code:
var myArr:Array = new Array();
myArr[0] = "galleryContainer_mc.eventGallery1_mc.imgContainer_mc";
trace(myArr[0]);

// This works
toggle_btn.onRelease = function() {
galleryContainer_mc.eventGallery1_mc.imgContainer_mc.videoToggle();
}
// But this doesn't work
toggle_btn.onRelease = function() {
myArr[0].videoToggle();
}
I know I'm fried, but that seems like it should work, am I missing something really basic here? Any advice would be really helpful at this point. Thanks!

GotoAndStop(dynamictextfield)
Fingers crossed the subject of this thread alone will explain things.
I have a series of buttons that, when pressed, input info into a dynamic text field.
e.g:

on(release){
TAG1 ="task";
}

This part is fine.
But I also want it so that, after a couple more frames, the animation jumps to a frame label, as defined by TAG1.
e.g:

gotoAndStop(TAG1.text);

This part doesn't work. Can anyone help

(hope this makes sense. I have flu today and my head stopped working long ago)

Flash Gods, I Invoke You
in a nutshell:
i'm trying to move the 'playhead' on a timeline i created, thus changing the physical location of the playhead, and changing the values of dynamic text boxes which corrispond with the playhead's location.

(everything is already functional if you Drag the playhead along, but i'm trying to add an additional way to browse the
site, with a button that browses thru one spot on the timeline at a time)

****
this is what i want to do:

access the _x position of a MC called "1" (the playhead), find that number in the possible _x positions that "1" can snap to in an array called "xspot", and append that number's placement in "xspot"(0-9) to the variable "i".

i then add one to "i" (or go back to 0 if we are at the end of the array) and apply this value to the variable "nextstep"

now that i have "nextstep", i know which elements in the arrays "xspot" and another called "who" (both with 10 elements) contain the info for the next playhead position, both for the playhead's _x position "xspot", and the dynamic text's content "who"
****

this code is appended to a button, will that cause a problem?

something isn't working right...

got any clues? or better ideas to approach this oparation?

_____code_________________________________________ _______

on (release) {
// xspot is an array which contains the diff. x positions my MC "1" can snap to/park at
for (var i = 0; i < _parent._parent.xspot.length; i++) {
// i have a feeling there is something funny about this line
if (_parent._parent.1._x == _parent._parent.xspot[i]) {
if (i <= 8) {
_parent._parent.nextstep = i++;
} else if (i == 9) {
_parent._parent.nextstep = 0;
}
break;
}
}
name = _parent._parent.who[_parent._parent.nextstep];
if (name = "billybob") {
_parent._parent.1._x = _parent._parent.xspot[0];
_parent._parent.pictext.scroll = 1;
_parent._parent.pictext = "Text";
_parent._parent.biotext.scroll = 1;
_parent._parent.biotext = "More Text";
// there are many names, each with it's own dynamic text content, and coorisponding playhead position on the timeline

Can You Invoke Something After A Code Tween Is Done.
Just like animating something on a time line I did it with code. But would like to now if it is possible to do this or not?

I have my code tween here.

Code:
Landing_flying = function(){
var maxNumber_up = 80;
var easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
var begin1 = 50;
var end1 = 180;
var time = 34;
var Body_mc1 = body;
Flying1 = new mx.transitions.Tween(Body_mc1, "_y", easeType, begin1, end1, time, false);
// After tween invoke new function
//stop_flying(); // stops wing animations.
}

Right after it reaches the destination at the end of its tween I would like to invoke a separate function. But only after the tween is done.

If this is possible if so can some one point me in the right direction can some on pint me in the right direction.

[F8] Manual ContextMenu Invoke?
Hi all, quick question -

Can I Invoke MouseEvent With ContextMenuEvent?
I’m new to both Flash and AS3 so hopefully I can explain my problem correctly. And if anyone has ideas on how to better approach what I’m trying to accomplish, please offer up some suggestions.

I’m producing some training and have the students click through various ‘hot spots’ on several screen captures to simulate the actual steps. At one point they are required to right click and select an option which just takes them to the subsequent step. I’ve customized my context menu.

I have a showStep function call by MouseEvent.CLICK that advances through an image array and advances the array index. When the image is loaded a function then creates the hot spots. I’ve successfully added the custom menu to the correct hot spot and have an event listener using ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT that passes to a function I want to then invoke showStep again.

Here’s where I’m stuck. When I select the right menu item, it activates the contextMenuOwner hot spot that I can then click to advance the image. I want to advance the image by selecting the right menu item which calls the MouseEvent obj via showSteps.

Hopefully all of that made sense. Here are the snippets I think are appropriate.

Code:
//set hit areas
var newHitArea:Sprite;

//from customizingContextMenu
var myMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var mainTimeline:MovieClip = this;
mainTimeline.contextMenu = myMenu;

//rc menu to be used with hit area
var newRCMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
newRCMenu.hideBuiltInItems();

var createNode:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Create Node");
createNode.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, doMenuEvent);

function doMenuEvent(evtObj:ContextMenuEvent):void{
var tgtObj:DisplayObject = evtObj.contextMenuOwner as DisplayObject;
var tgtMenuObj:ContextMenu = evtObj.currentTarget as ContextMenu;
tgtObj.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showSteps);
tgtObj.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent("CLICK"));
}

function showSteps(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
stepImg.visible = true;
stepImg.load(new URLRequest("../images/"+imgArr[thisStep][0]));
stepImg.x = layerX;
stepImg.y = layerY;
addChild(stepImg);
makeHitArea(thisStep);
thisStep++;
}

function makeHitArea(currStep){
if (newHitArea){
removeChild(newHitArea);
}
newHitArea = new Sprite();
// ... make hit area
hitAreaType = imgArr[currStep][1];
if (hitAreaType == "rc"){
newHitArea.contextMenu = newRCMenu;
newRCMenu.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT, menuSelectHandler);
}else{
newHitArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showSteps);
}
addChild(newHitArea);
}

// borrowed from Adobe examples: Custom Context Menus
function menuSelectHandler(evtObj:ContextMenuEvent):void {
var obj:DisplayObject = evtObj.contextMenuOwner as DisplayObject;
var menuObj:ContextMenu = evtObj.currentTarget as ContextMenu;
menuObj.customItems = [];
menuObj.customItems.push(createNode);
}

Frame Names And How To Invoke Them
What would you have to do to have something happen once a movieclip reaches a particular frame?

I already got the answer to that question in a previous topic in case that something has to happen when the movieclip ends, but say you want to have something happen when the playhead reaches frame called, say, _now?

I can think of a way (involving the clculation of the ratio between _currentframe and _totalframes) but, isn't there a simpler -and more precise- way, namely, invoking the frame by its name? How would that be done (if possible)?

NOTE: I am assuming that adding code to the movieclip's timeline (instead of adding it to the main timeline) is a bad practice and should be avoided. Am I right at that?

Can My SWF Invoke A Local .NET Assembly?
Hello,

How do I get my AS2 code to interact with _local_ resources without using XML files? Here's what I mean.

My SWF file needs to be able to query a local SQLite database. But after a lot of searching, I'm convinced that this is not possible with just Flash8/AS2 (I have heard about something called SQLite Connector. But it requires SWF Studio).

As an alternative to having my AS2 code interact with SQLite directly, is there a way for my AS2 code to invoke a function in a .NET assembly or COM object, so that my locally-registered .NET assembly does the work of getting the data out of my
database and somehow return the record into my calling AS2 code?

Can my SWF call a procedure to a local .NET assembly and if so, where can I find out the details?

Thanks,

~McM.

How To Change This Function Into AS 2.0?

Invoke Server Side Application
Hi,

I am an experienced programmer (mainly C++ and Python) but fairly new to web/flash programming. I have a Flash application running on a client side browser which needs to read data from a C application running on the server. I'm told that there should be a library function to invoke the C code and provide me the output via a pipe of some sort. Can anybody elaborate on this?

Also, does anybody know of an online library reference (function descriptions, syntax examples, data structures summaries etc.) for Flash? I find it quite hard to program in a language without such a reference.

Colour Change Function
Hi
I have a colour change function which I need to link to a movie clip('menu')within a movie clip('menu_consultancy').
i.e. _root.menu_consultancy.menu

The only problem is the movie clip is blank up to frame
5. I would have thought it would have just picked up on the instance name, but this appears not to be the case.

- I will try explaining that one again:
Within the movie clip 'menu_consultancy' I have a stop action on frame 1 and another stop action on frame 5. In frame five I have the movie clip that i want to change the colour of) with an instance name called 'menu'.

this is the code for the colour function attached to a buttton on the main time line: -

on (release) {
object = new Color(_root.menu_consultancy.menu);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);

I have tried putting the 'menu' movieclip on the first frame of 'menu_consultancy' and the colour function works fine, but I need the movie clip to be blank on the first frame. What can I do??

Thanks,
Kaan.

Colour Change Function
Hello.
On my main timeline I have serveral buttons that change the colour of serveral movie clips on the screen. So, lets say I change the colour of my movie to blue and then go to a different scene, the colours are converted back to their orginal state for example red.

What I have tried to do is....
- create a verible called 'newColour' within the change colour function.
- on the first frame of the scene I am trying to jump to, I have created
an IF statement that checks if the newColour equals blue then set the colours to blue.
but for some reason the varible is not working how I planned...

here is the code for the main button that changes the colour: -
on (release) {
newColour = "blue";
object = new Color(background);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.window_final1.title_bar);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.window_final2.title_bar);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.window_final3.title_bar);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.menu_consultancy.menu);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
ect......

Now here is the code that is on the first frame on the scene that I am trying to jump to: -
if (newColour="blue") {
object = new Color(background);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.window_final1.title_bar);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.window_final2.title_bar);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
object = new Color(_root.window_final3.title_bar);
object.setRGB(0x00659C);
}

Where am I going wrong???

Change Variable From Within A Function
I want to change a variable's value from within a function, but the variable has to be itself a parameter of the function.
for example:

Code:
function myFunction(n) {
n = n-1;
trace(n);
}
x = 5;
_root.myButton.onRelease = function() {
myFunction(x);
};

Colour Change Function
trying to build a function that dictates what colour a mc should be on different states.

ActionScript Code:
function setColour(){
var changeColour:Color = new Color(this);
changeColour.setRGB(0xFF0000);
}
function setColourOg(){
var changeColour:Color = new Color(this);
changeColour.setRGB(0x999966);
}

one_mc.onRollOver= function(){
setColour();
}
one_mc.onRollOut= function(){
setColourOg();
}

At the moment it just changes all of the mc's that appear on the stage, I would like to have the function change just the chosen mc i.e one_mc not any other's.

(I know this is the old way of doing colorchange, it is now colorTransform)

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Change Button Function?
I have this movie created from a tutorial, but to start it you have to click a button, instead I want it to start automatically, how can I do that. Right now, this is the actionscript used to start it with a button:

call("/subroutines:start");
}

is there some kind of on load function for this?

Trying To Change The Value Of A Variable From A Function
I've been trying to find the answer to my question for about a week now. I've created a variable, what i want to do is change the value of my variable by clicking a specific function. The variable is being used inside an object variable, at least that's how i think i should word it. I've posted the code. I know the object can read the variable because when i make the variable equal 700, it does read it. But if i try to change the variable value through a function, the value doesn't change.

Code:
import com.reflektions.tween.*;

var sy:int = planet.y;
var abc:int;

var tween:Tween = new Tween();

var tobj:Object = {mc:planet,y:sy, dy:abc, r:0,dr:50,xscale:0.5,dxscale:1.0,yscale:0.5,dyscale:1.0};

button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, move_planet);

function move_planet(event:MouseEvent):void {
abc = 700;
tween.initTween(tobj);
}
As you can see i'm using an external tween library of some kind. I say of some kind because someone else started this project and i'm trying to finish it so i don't really have much of an idea about how the class works.

Change A Function's Function?
Hi guys,

is there a way how I can change a function's
function.
When I call the getURL(), flash should not open
the URL, it should set a Variable to a value.

getURL("Hello World");

current ---> open Browser with the document Hello World (wrong)
should ---> set variable "foo" to "Hello World" (thats what I need)

Maybe with some OOP, but I don't no how.

Invoke Action After Movie Clip Stops?
there is one movie clip on my stage with instance name : "myMC"
i have also 2 buttons: "buttonA" and "buttonB"

i have this code on my first frame:

friction = "0.2";
dif = 0;
targety = 0;
_root.onEnterFrame = function (){
dify = dif - myMC._y;
speedy = dify*friction;
myMC._y = Math.floor(myMC._y+speedy);
dify = int(targety)-myMC._y;
}

this code moves "myMC" up and down depends on value of variables: dif and targety,

actions on the buttons:

on buttonA:
on(release){
dif = 370;
targety = 370;
}

on buttonB:
on(release){
dif = 100;
targety = 100;
}

question: i want to invoke some action but only when myMC will stop,
i'd love to change this code to basically specify final position of myMC by assigning final _y value to the buttons (and than say: if (myMc._y == 100){ do this })
but as long as when i place myMC on postion 0,0 and after pressing buttonB it stops
on 100,0 that after pressing buttonA myMC stops on 366,0 and when i keep adding buttons
final position is not the same every time.

please help.

Can't Invoke Scene Play From Within A Movie Clip -- Please Help.
Hi!

I'm having the following problem and I'm desperately looking for help.

Here's the description:
My flash has a single movie clip and 5 buttons in seperate clips.

I want to invoke a gotoAndPlay function of a scene on the release of a button which is part of a clip in that scene (suppose the parent (and only) scene containing the clip (which in turn contains the button) is named Main). Normally this should work:

(Actionscript on the button: )

on(release) { gotoAndPlay("Main", 2) }

but it doesn't. Instead it opens a browser window with two tabs... Go figure...

Any ideas?

P.S. Check http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~diamanto/vac.fla for the original flash file...

Manually Invoke OnCancel Event For FileReference?
I'm using the FileReference class with PHP to allow users to upload images. I need to be able to restrict the size (pixels not bytes) of the images.

Currently, I have the following PHP script which handles the uploads and checks the width and height of the image before copying it to the server:

PHP Code:

<?php if ($_FILES['Filedata']['name']) { list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']); if($width <= 15 && $height <= 15) { move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], 'uploadedImages/' . basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name'])); } }?>

This works ok, but it does not provide a method to alert Flash if the image is bigger than the allowed values. It simply doesn't copy the file.

So, is there a way to call the onCancel event for the FileReference object from PHP? Or is there any other way I could alert flash of the status from that PHP file?

Even better than that - is there a way to determine the image size before it is uploaded? The PHP script above still has to wait for the temp image to be uploaded before it can perform the validation.

Cheers.

FLVPlayback Fail To Invoke CallBack OnMetaData
i'm using FLVPlayback in order to load a movie.
i keep getting this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onMetaData. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property duration not found on Number and there is no default value.

if i get it right, it means that inside built-in onMetaData there is no duration property.
so, i tried adding my own call back function:

//creating a custom client
var customClient:Object = new Object();
customClient.onCuePoint = cuePointHandler;
customClient.onMetaData = onMetaData;
customClient.onPlayStatus = onPlayStatus;

//loading the movie
_flvPlayback.source = url;

//replacing the custom client
_flvPlayback.getVideoPlayer(videoPlayerIndex).netS tream.client = customClient;

private function onMetaData(m:Object):void {
trace("m.duration " + m.duration);
}

and its tracing the duration!!!! >>

m.duration 8.05

and i keep getting the same error.....

any suggestions?...
