How Do I Define The Greatest _x Position Based On A Loop, Assuming I Know The Last Element Of The Loop?
Hello,

This may be complicated,

I've a loop that creates emptyMovieClips
then I use one function to onRollOver _xscale them += 10

Now I want to move another movieClip based on the greatest _x position of my previously _xscaled elements, how do I do that?

example

for (var i = 0; i<my_array.length; i++) {
_root.menu_.createEmptyMovieClip("btn"+i, i+1);
}
//
_root.menu_["btn"+i].onRollOver = function() {
this._xscale += 10;
//
MY_DRAGER._x = HIGHT._x;
}

Can this be done?

Thanks,

I Would Like My Sound Loop To Continously Loop Without Looping Over Itself When I Repeat My Images.
I have a sound loop moving along with my flash images. When the flash images finish and I send it back to frame 1, my sound doubles. How can I play my sound loop once, but allow my images to continously loop.

Is there away to just run one loop of sound, and let the image aspect continue to loop.

I would like my sound loop to continously loop without looping over itself when I repeat my images.

LoadVars In A For Loop Not Executing .load Function Until For Loop Completed?
Ok so I have a simply for loop: ID[i] is a global array



Code:


for (i=0;i<12;i++)
{
var loadInfo:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadInfo.onLoad=function(success:Boolean)
{
if (success)
{
trace("whatever:"+loadInfo.myname);
}
else
{
trace("Nope");
}
loadInfo.load(ID[i]+".txt");
}



the problem I'm having is that the function doesn't execute until the for loop completes and then it executes 12 times in a row. Output is 'whatever: undefined' 11 times and then 'whatever: Bobble' (which corresponeds to the last .myname value as it should). Why is this? And how can I fix it? To be continued...

Loop Inside Loop... Why Doesn't Work Properly?
In order to cause a delay, I have put a loop inside another loop. Here it is:

for (a=1; a<6; a++) {
for (b=1; b<10000; b++) {
}
}

Flash delays to show the page but in the end I just see both variables with the maximun value. The point was to see variable "a" growing with delay. What have I done wrong?

Thank you

Function Inside For Loop; How To Give It Parameters Of The Loop
Hey!

This is the code:


Code:

for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("temp"+i, 1+i);


_root["temp"+i].beginFill(0xFF0000, 20 + (20*i));
_root["temp"+i].moveTo(0+(60*i), 0+(67*i));
_root["temp"+i].lineTo(100+(60*i), 0+(61*i));
_root["temp"+i].lineTo(100+(64*i), 100+(65*i));
_root["temp"+i].lineTo(0+(55*i), 100+(80*i));

_root["temp"+i].endFill();

_root["temp"+i].onRelease = function() {

trace("button Number = " +i);
}
}


So I made butttons and assigned each one an onRelease function. But each one needs to have assigned a variabile by the value "i" in the for loop.
When I write it like this the function itself is defined only after I click it and it ofcourse asigns all the buttons the same "i", the last value of "i" in the for loop.

How do I do it so I get first button with variable 1, second with 2,... ?

Thx.

Loop Help: XML Attribute Doesnt Stay On Each Object Of The Loop
Hi, i'm working on a gallery that loads thumbnails from an xml file into 3 columns and when you click on a thumbnail it opens a new window with the fullsized image in.

I have modified code from a gallery tutorial to load the thumbnails from a xml file. They are going in 3 columns at the moment (I don't understand why but they are) but only the last image has a hand cursor when you rollover it, and then when you click on it, it traces "undefined" into the output box.

I have put
Code:
trace(images_arr[i].attributes.fullsize);
just below the bit where it loads the thumbnails and it traces the right path from the xml file for each image.

Can someone help me get it to trace the right path from the xml file when you click on ALL the thumbnails, not just the last one.

Thank you so much in advance!



Code:
function GenerateThumbs() {
images_arr = images_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
gap = 10;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb_mc",100000);
thumb_mc._y = 10;
thumb_mc._x = 10;
for (var i = 0; i<images_arr.length; i++) {
trace('generating thumbs'+i);
this.thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb"+i+"_mc", i);
this.thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb"+i+"_tmp_mc", 300);
this.thumb_mc["thumb"+i+"_mc"]._x = ((i%3)*(67+gap));
this.thumb_mc["thumb"+i+"_mc"]._y = Math.floor(i/3)*(67+gap);
this.thumb_mc["thumb"+i+"_mc"].loadMovie(images_arr[i].attributes.thumb);
this.thumb_mc["thumb"+i+"_tmp_mc"].no = i;
this.thumb_mc["thumb"+i+"_tmp_mc"].onEnterFrame = function() {
var _mc = this._parent["thumb"+this.no+"_mc"];
var l = _mc.getBytesLoaded();
var t = _mc.getBytesTotal();
if ((l>=t) && (t>1) && (_mc._width>1)) {
_mc.onRelease = function() {
trace(images_arr[i].attributes.fullsize);
};
}
};
}
}


var images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
images_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
GenerateThumbs();
} else {
trace("Error loading XML file");
}
};
images_xml.load("gallery.xml");

My Sound Loop Is Repeating Itself Ontop Of Previous Loop
Here is a link to a movie that I am working on:


LINK-
http://blue-title.com/v2/


My client says that when you first start the movie, the loop starts fine but when he clicks on one of the three buttons at the bottom (Home, Florida, Alabama) the initial first loop continues to play and a new loop is beginning to repeat while the first one is still playing.

It works fine for me in Firefox and Safari on a Mac.

Any solutions?

Simple For Loop Please Help
Here is my loop with syntax errors
PHP Code:

["Bn" + i ]onPress=function(){gotoAndPlay("_down");
}
["Bn" + i ]onRelease=function(){gotoAndstop("_down");

["Bn" + i ]onRollOut=function(){gotoAndStop("_up");

["hit" + i ]_mc._visible = false;
};




I've been fiddling with the code but I feel like I'm just hacking away. I've read through all my Flash books, 5 in total, and I still can't figure it out.

This should be basic programming correct?

Help With Simple For Loop
Hi there. i am making a simple photo gallery where when a button is clicked (in this example the button is 'custom'), then a function is called with the variables type and num. it will then make a menu based on type (the folder to open the pics from) and num (the number of pics in that folder). it is easy to understand i think. the problem is that the for loop doesnt work. i have a trace in there that never gets 'traced. can anyone help me with this?

thanks,
chris


Code:
custom.onPress = function() {
openpics("custom", 5);
};
//stop movement
stop();
//define the function - type of pic defines the folder that you
//want to open the pictures of, and num says how many pics are in that
//folder. the pics are numbered "1.jpg","2.jpg"... so they can
//be loaded easily with a for loop from the links created
function openpics(type, num) {
//create 'clickable' numbers to display each pic
for (var i = 1; i>num; i++) {
i = 1;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("number_"+i, i);
number_i._x = 15*i;
number_i._y = 10;
trace(i+" "+number_i+" "+type+" "+num);
number_i.createTextField("text_"+i, i, 0, 0);
text_i.font = "Arial";
text_i.size = 10;
text_i.color = 0xFFFFFF;

//change text color and style of number onmouseover
number_i.onRollOver = function(){
text_i.color = 0x999999;
text_i.underline = true;
}
number_i.onRollOut = function(){
text_i.color = 0xFFFFFF;
text_i.underline = false;
}

//add the number to the textfield
text_i.text = "["+i+"]";

//on click of each number/button, display corresp. pic
number_i.onPress = function(i) {
delete pic_holder;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("pic_holder", num+1);
pic_holder.scaleContent = true;
pic_holder._x = 15;
pic_holder._width = 285;
pic_holder._y = 20;
pic_holder.loadMovie("/images/"+type+"/"+i);
};
}
delete i;
}

Simple Loop
I was creating a loop to handle parsing this XML file and it doesn't seem to be working. This is probably some logic problem so I didn't look for resources. This loop begins at 1 because node 0 is used for something else. Help me understand where I may have goofed.Thanks for the help in advance.

code:
for(i=1; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++){
var song:String = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
var textBox = "text" + i + "_txt.text";
textBox = song;

Do While Loop ?... Should Be Simple....
for some reason, the following do while loop isn't scrolling continuously while the respective buttons are held down... take a look:


Code:
d_btn.onPress = function() {
scrollcheck = 0;
do {
myText.scroll += 1;
d_btn.onRelease = function() {
scrollcheck = 1;
};
} while (scrollcheck=0);
};
u_btn.onPress = function() {
scrollcheck = 0;
do {
myText.scroll -= 1;
u_btn.onRelease = function() {
scrollcheck = 1;
};
} while (scrollcheck=0);
};
there must be some simple logical error. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

In any event, can anyone help me consolidate this portion of an actionscript l'm working on. I just can't seem to get this to work in a for loop, each of them is the same...

30 if statements in all each of them preforms the same task, just with a different value for the target movie clip (mark[i])... can anyone help me write up a quick for loop to make this code much smaller, and easily managed?

Simple For Loop Help
I've been experimenting with a simple imageViewer class, implemented like this:

var viewer1:thumbLoader = new thumbLoader(target_mc);
viewer1.loadImage("whatever.jpg");

my question is how would i use a for loop to make twenty viewers (1-20) load say, twenty elements from an array. One problem is that if I use a string like ["viewer" + i], the class file is expecting a movieclip and throws up a type mismatch. I would guess it's done something like this:

for (var i=0; i<20; i++) {
var this["viewer"+i]:Thumbloader = new thumbLoader("target_mc"+i);
}
but obviously this doesn't work. any help much appreciated.

(simple?) Sound Loop
ok well i guess to understand this you might need to see my site(or might not?) http://www.fospher.com
my problem is when my sound pauses - it doesnt really pause - its just that u cant hear it - and it keeps going. i need the sound paused though. here's the code i used to start up the sound:

s = new Sound();
s.attachSound("cky");
i = 1;
function timeme () {
now = new Date();
var hours = now.getHours();
var minutes = now.getMinutes();
var seconds = now.getSeconds();
_root["nowtime"+i] = (Number(hours)*3600)+(Number(minutes)*60)+seconds;
_root.newstarttime = _root["nowtime"+i]-_root.nowtime1;
i++;
}
s.start(0, 99);
timeme();

the code i use the pause the sound:

on (release) {
s.stop();
timeme();
}

and the code i use to start up the sound again:

on (press) {
s.stop();
s.start(_root.newstarttime);
}


so - once again if you know how to actually PAUSE this code please help!!!

Simple Loop For Question
Code:
// DUPLICAETS MC
for (Count=0; Count<(diasdelmes+1); Count++) {
_root.DiaDelMes.duplicateMovieClip("coso"+Count,Count,Count);
trace("I DUPLICATED THE MC");
set(eval(("coso"add Count)._x), 50*Count);
trace("I PUT IT IN PLACE");
}
this is a simple for loop that duplciates a MC and then it places al the Mcs 50 pixels apart from each other...problem is, it does duplicate them but it places them all in the same location (on top of each other) i know that the part where i set the ._X for the Mcs is somehow wrong...how is the right way for it to work?

i tried without the eval but same result...

Please Help Me Loop This Audio (should Be Simple)

Simple Little For Loop Problem -- PLEASE HELP

code:
for (var i = 1; i<arraySize; i++) {

//this code omitted


//trace 1
trace(_root.productURL[i]);

this["foo"+i].onRelease = function() {
getURL(_root.productURL[i]);

//trace 2
trace(_root.productURL[i]);
};
}


productURL is an array defined at the root.

Trace 1 returns the element at the last index of the array
Trace 2 return "undefined"

I just want the mc cannon to rotate when I press the button. As long as rotation is less than 100.

Im ready to thrash the monitor so a quick response is appreciated..


var i:Number = 20;
_rotation = 0
but_mc.onPress = rotatecannon;
function rotatecannon ()
{
while (_rotation < 100)
//condition test
trace (_rotation);
cannon_mc._rotation = _rotation + 1;
i++;
//increment
}

Simple For Loop And This Question
Hey Everyone,
I have a pretty simple task which requires me to have the value of a variable be constantly updated. The value of i in this case always stays at 3 since the for loop runs through everything one time. Ideally I want it to constantly reflect the "i" as associated with the ball that one is rolling over. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the help.


for (i=0; i<3; i++){
theball=this["ball"+i];

theball.onRollOver=function(){
_root.thetextbox.text="Hello " + i;
}
}

Simple Loop- Missing Something
hi all, while continuing my quest to "sample colors" i made a small little test app with the following code.

Code:
function getSample() {
bmp.draw(mcHolder);
sample = bmp.getPixel(_xmouse, _ymouse);
newColor = sample.toString(16);
//return newColor;
changeBoxColor(newColor);
//hexadecimal formula- can use this variable later to pass to new color
}
//____________________________________________________________________add mouse listener
var oMouseListen:Object = new Object();
oMouseListen.onMouseDown = function() {
getSample();
};
Mouse.addListener(oMouseListen);
//____________________________________________________________________ change sample box to selected color
var box = sampleBox_mc0.theBox;//make 5 instances of this guy
var txBox:TextField = sampleBox_mc0.txSample;
var border=sampleBox_mc0.mcBorder
function changeBoxColor(newColor) {
thisColor = "0x"+newColor;
var boxColor:Color = new Color(box);
var txStyle:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txStyle.color = thisColor;
boxColor.setRGB(thisColor);
txBox.setTextFormat(txStyle);
}
box.onRelease=function(){
setBorder(this);
this.selectedBox=true;
}
works fine. However, i would like to add 4 more instantces of "box" . i was trying to do this with a loop, but not finding success...any ideas


Code:
//____________________________________________________________________ get pixels function
function getSample() {
bmp.draw(mcHolder);
sample = bmp.getPixel(_xmouse, _ymouse);
newColor = sample.toString(16);
//return newColor;
changeBoxColor(newColor);
//hexadecimal formula- can use this variable later to pass to new color
}
//____________________________________________________________________add mouse listener
var oMouseListen:Object = new Object();
oMouseListen.onMouseDown = function() {
getSample();
};
Mouse.addListener(oMouseListen);
//____________________________________________________________________ change sample box to selected color
box = [];
txBox = [];
function changeBoxColor(newColor) {
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
var txStyle:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
thisColor = "0x"+newColor;
box = sampleBox_mc[i].theBox;
txBox = sampleBox_mc[i].txSample;
boxColor = new Color(box);
boxColor.setRGB(thisColor);
txBox.setTextFormat(txStyle);
txStyle.color = thisColor;
}
}
box.onRelease = function() {
};

Very Simple Mp3 Loop Player
Hi !

I'm currently working on my music website and have a request for help.
I just designed a little interface on flash for a loop player. As you can see on the image it's just 5 numbers (one loop each) that can be played by clicking on a number, and the square on the right is the "stop" button.

Is it complicated to make this loop player with Flash 8?

Thanks.

Stumped On A Simple Loop
OK, this should probably go in the newbies section 'cos I'm sure that there is a simple answer but I've been wrestling for 24 hours now and getting nowhere...

I have a simple loop to make a series of MCs transparent but for some reason it doesnt happen.

In the output panel everything looks OK and when I just write the same thing in the code, hey presto! it disappears.

All my MCs are identical and instanced r1, r2, r3 ....r18

the loop is:

onClipEvent (load) {
for (i=1;i<10;i++) {
var img='r'+i;
img+='._alpha=0;'
img='this._parent.'+img
trace(img);
img;
}
}


The trace shows exactly the correct string i.e: (AND when I type these strings into the code, yes it works!)

this._parent.r1._alpha=0;
this._parent.r2._alpha=0;
etc.


but nothing disappears. I have tried various different use of variables to build up the appropriate string eg

var img='r'+i
var img='r'+i+'._alpha=0'
var img='this._parent.r'+i
etc.

but nothing seems to work. What's the catch. I am sure that there is something that I just haven't considered but for the life of me I don't know what it is....

HELP

Simple Loop Question
hi

i am trying to make mc's appear on the stage one by one then stop after they reach 100.

so far they only appear all at once:


Code:
for (i=0; i<100; i++) {
var ballmc:MovieClip = attachMovie("ball", "ball_mc"+i, i);
ballmc._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
ballmc._y = Math.random()*Stage.height;
}
how would i make them appear one by one and stop when the count reached 100?

thanks!

Simple Move And Loop
I know this is very noob, but I need a simple AS move and loop.
Move an object across the stage (left to right) and once out of site, loop and start over again? It needs to be a slow and endless loop.

Please explain as simply as possible.

Simple For Loop And If Problem...
Hi I have a problem with the following script. I'm sure its really simple but I'm feeling pretty brain dead at the moment and just can't sort it. Can anyone help?

All i have is a text file with some variables in which are either sold or sale. I want to read these in and perform some actions depending on what the string is.

Here is my script....

Code:
statusVar.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done");
for (i=0; i<numberOfPlots; i++) {
plot = "plot"+(i+1);
statusOfPlot = statusVar[plot];
trace("status: "+statusOfPlot);
if (statusOfPlot == "sold") {
trace("SOLD");

}
if (this.statusOfPlot == "sale") {
trace("SALE");
}
}
}
};
The problem is that the if statements are only being tested for the last statusOfPlot value and I want them to be tested each time a new statusOfPlot variable is created.

Thanks

Simple For Loop Question
I'm trying to get this for loop to trigger a number of movieClips to go to the same frame. My script should be working, but isn't. Here is the code:

for (i=0; i<_parent.generalNavArr.length; i++) {
_parent.generalNavArr[i].gotoAndStop(1);
}

The information is coming through from the array just fine...if I control each individual movieClip with this following code it works fine:

_parent.art.gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.web.gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.ad.gotoAndStop(1);
...etc

Any help would be great! Thanks.

Loop Flv Video (simple)
How do I get my video to loop with this code?
Currently the video plays to the end and stops.
This code calls/plays the video from the desktop, there is nothing in the library? I have tried many things with no luck. What else do I add?
Are there any working fla files somewhere for download to see how they action script 3.0 can handle video?
//-------------------------------------
var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
videoConnection.connect(null);
var videoStream:NetStream = new NetStream(videoConnection);
videoStream.play("duck_float.flv");

var metaListener:Object = new Object();
metaListener.onMetaData = onMetaData;
videoStream.client = metaListener;

var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachNetStream(videoStream);
addChild(video);

function onMetaData(data:Object):void
{

Simple For Loop Question
I'm making a transition to AS3 and have a question about referencing the names of the children. I'm attaching a number of items onto the stage with a for loop and, once they are on the stage, I'm having trouble accessing them. "p" is the name of the item and if I trace "p" after I place everything on the stage it only accesses the last item. How can I access, for example, the 13th item? I can't seem to figure that out...I'm thinking the solution is easy.

Thanks in advance.

var xLocation=-4000
var itemRotation=-65;
for (var i:uint=0; i<25; i++) {var p:Plane = new Plane(bam, 234, 236, 2, 2);
scene.addChild(p);
p.x = xLocation;
p.y = 500;
p.z = 500;
p.rotationY = itemRotation;
xLocation=xLocation+350;
itemRotation=itemRotation+5;}

Help With Simple Loop Problem
Hey everyone,

I'm trying to loop through my xml file and retrieve each <img> nodes firstChild, which is promo1, promo2, promo3, etc.
I have copied a short piece of xml that's similar to mine.
I have my .fla looping through and fading in and out the image node. My problem is that when I go to loop and fade in the text, which is really fading out the mc, it doesn't loop to the next node. Which is promo2.

eg.
-The mc fades out revealing the text(promo1).
-After the mc fades back in hiding the text
-It should loop down to the next node, fading the mc back out, revealing the text(promo2).
-etc. and continue looping as long as thier are childNodes.

It's looping but not correctly!

Here's my AS:

Code:
load_xml = new XML();
load_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
load_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
process(load_xml);
} else {
trace("Something is wrong, we're not opening!");
}
};
//Load up the XML file into Flash
load_xml.load('images.xml');
//---Function that will be called when xml loads succesfully
//xmlDoc_xml is now a reference to the XML object where our information is stored
item_arr = new Array("img", "startdate", "enddate", "url");
var cnt=0;
function process(xmlDoc_xml) {
mc.fade(0,7);
var count=0;

for (var n = 0; n<xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; n++) {
if (xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[n].nodeName == "promo") {
var cnt1=cnt;
for (var i = 0; i<xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[n].childNodes.length; i++) {
if (xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[n].childNodes[i].nodeName == item_arr[i]) {
trace(xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[n].childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue);
}
}
trace("Is it working "+xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[count].childNodes[0].firstChild);
output = xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt1++].childNodes[0].firstChild;

}

trace("Come to poppa " +xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[count].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);
count++;
trace("here count=" + count);

//This is where the loop ends
}

}
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(endAlpha, speed) {
trace("called11");

if (this._alpha>endAlpha) {
speed *= -1;
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Math.abs(endAlpha-this._alpha)>Math.abs(speed)) {
this._alpha += speed;
} else {
this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
myInterval = setInterval(beginFadeOut, time());
this._alpha = endAlpha;
}
};
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function(begalpha, speed) {
trace("called22");
this._alpha = 0;
if (this._alpha<begalpha) {
speed *= -1;
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Math.abs(begalpha-this._alpha)>Math.abs(speed)) {
this._alpha -= speed;
} else {
process();
this._alpha = begalpha;
}
};
};

function beginFadeOut() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
mc.fadeIn(100, 7);
}
function time() {
sec = ((30/5)*1000);
trace("seconds called");
return sec;
}
//function loop(){
//if(count!=null){

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<images>
<promo>
<img>promo1.jpg</img>
<startdate>01/02/2003</startdate>
<enddate>01/03/2003</enddate>
<url>website</url>
</promo>

Can't End A Simple Rainstorm Loop (doh)
Been away from Flash for quite a while and have gone rusty. I have a raindrop movie clip that is duplicated randomly to generate a rainstorm. I want to end the rainstorm then start another movie.

I'm so dang rusty I can't figure out how to end this very simple loop.

Here's the ActionScript that duplicates the raindrop:


n = Number(n)+1;
setProperty("drop", _x, -1+Math.random()*763);
setProperty("drop", _y, -37+Math.random()*30);
duplicateMovieClip("drop", "", n);


The loop is generated by Frame 2's script of going back to and playing Frame 1.

Of course, that's the problem. Eventually the rain has got to end. Been sitting here reading Foundation ActionScript for hours but cannot find how to keep this loop going for a while then ending it and moving on to a sunrise or something.

Any suggestions? Any help is always greatly appreciated.
