Unexpected 'eq' Encountered

Newbie: Unexpected '.' Encountered In Actionscipt 2
I am trying to use some code that works well when publised as actionscript version 1, but when I try to publish it as action script version 2. I get the following errors:


Quote:




**Error** Symbol=Side Slider, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 3: Unexpected '.' encountered
startDrag("", false, _x, ../:top, _x, ../:bottom);

**Error** Symbol=Side Slider, layer=Layer 2, frame=3:Line 1: Unexpected '.' encountered
../:amount = ((((_y-../:top)/../:scrolllength)*../:height)-(_y-../:top));

**Error** Symbol=Side Slider, layer=Layer 2, frame=3:Line 2: Unexpected '.' encountered
setProperty("this._parent.text", _y, ../riginally-../:amount);




I suspect its something to do with the '../:' way of refering to things? has been depreciated in Actionscipt version 2. How can I get resolve this.

TIA
Jubal

As3corelib - JSON - Unexpected Encountered
Hey Everyone,

I've been scouring Google for an answer to my question and I can't for the life of me figure it out...

I downloaded the as3corelib to do some JSON decoding, however, I always get this error


Code:
Error: Unexpected c encountered

I am reading the data from a file called config.dat... which looks like this...


Code:
config={
"actors": [

"actor2",
"actor3"
],

"decors": [
"decor1",

["song3", "music3"]
],
"intros": [

]
}
I've tried changing the config= to nothing and I get "Unexpected encountered". Reading a flickr feed (http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds...ex&format=json - as a test) and I get "Unexpected j encountered"

Can someone PLEASE help me out here?

Thanks,

[CS3] "Unexpected 'var' Encountered"
Hi guys. I'm trying to create a website entirely in Flash using a tutorial, and I copied the tutorial exactly. However, when I go to test it, it doesn't respond to my clicks. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to.

Anyway, my main problem is that when I enter script assist mode to check if my coding is all correct, I get the error message "Unexpected 'var' encountered" on line 4, with "var i = 1" highlighted in red.


Code:
sections.stop();
speed = 10;
target = menu.button1._y
for (var i = 1; i<5; i++) {
menu["button"+i].pageNum = i;
menu["button"+i].onPress = function() {
target = this._y;
sections.gotoAndStop(this.pageNum);
};
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
menu.current._y += (target-menu.current._y)/speed;
};


I looked over everything in the tutorial, and my code is exactly as it is supposed to be. I think my version is different from what the tutorial used, so that may be an issue. And maybe the tutorial is wrong. I have no clue.

The tutorial is located here(linking to the last few steps, including the script):
http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tut...-Website/34837

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could let me know what the problem is. Also, I'd appreciate it even more if anyone could link to any tutorials dealing specifically with creating web sites. I must not be able to search Google very well, since I can't find any good ones.

Thanks in advance!!

Has Anyone Encountered This?
I wrote yesterday about a .swf file that won't display after being FTPd.

The .swf file views in Dreamweaver, and in Flash Player, however in Fetch 4.0 , I slected the .swf, went to Remote>View Media File and nothing but a blank screen that is the size of the movie. Can I get around this? Is there anything that can be assesed by this behavior? I've tried everything, and I'm just about to rebuild the WHOLE .fla. I don't think I'm publishing it wrong, as I haven't changed settings from other files that have worked.

thanks in advance....

'{' Expected Encountered '{' - Why Is This?
HELLO

Im sure a lot of you have seen this script before. It is part of the swfobject1-4.zip which supposedly checks for the Flash Player version installed on the clients computer and upgrades it to the version needed to view the site if necessary.


PROBLEM

Every function of the other scripts in the pack seem to work apart from the ExpressInstall.as. When i check the code in flash it throws up an error on line 30 saying that '{' was expected encountered '{'. And it finds the '}' but doesn't anticipate it because the open wasn't found.


MY UNDERSTANDING

Seems mad, i have a small amount of experience with code and understand the principles of how action script works, but this seems strange to me and i don’t know why it wont read the '{'. i have tried moving it to different positions (below line 30 and changed the spacing between the end of line 30 and the bracket) and it still wont read the '{'.


The relevant line is highlighted in bold in the script below.


I hope this is clear and that someone has encountered this sort of error before, i would be grateful for your help. I have a client that is breathing down my neck. ;-)

Kind regards,

Paul Hudson

Problems Encountered With Preloader
Friends,

please check the URL http://personal.vsnl.com/daksh/preloader.htm

Note: after "Done" press "enter" key on the same URL address.

My preloader works fine, and loads all elements well. but after loading it don't jumps to the frame where it is assigned to move after loading process...my action script
on the preloader frame is

stop();
ifFrameLoaded(5)
{
gotoAndStop ("sound")
}

where "sound" is a frame label at frame no 10 where I've placed another movie clip.
your help will be appreciated...

[F8] Error 'else' Encountered Without Matching 'if'
Hi there...

I've found this script in a other forum. It should turn decimal values like 27.9 into 27.90 and 5 into 5.00, but I'm getting the error:


Code:
**Error** Scene=0_HOME, layer=Layer 19, frame=3:Line 24: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if ((i+1) == (strGetal.length-1)) {


Can any one tell what's wrong in this code?


Code:
strGetal = String(getal);
var returnval = "undefined";
for (var i =0; i<strGetal.length; i++){
if (strGetal.charAt(i) == ".") {
returnval = i;
}
}

if (returnval == 'undefined') {
strGetal += ".00";
} else if ((i+1) == (strGetal.length-1)) {
strGetal += "0";
}




Thnx,

Leon

SANDBOX/SECURITY? Bug With FLV Loading Across NAS Encountered
So I recently setup a Network Attached Storage device (very handy!), so I can have one hard drive act as a sort-of server for my various workstations around the office. Now a new (and extremely annoying) catch is that FLVs won't load into flash flvDisplay when attempting to test/access them during development. They'll load just fine if I take the directory and put them onto the local machine, but when attempting to access from the NAS drive, they won't load. The strange thing is that Flash will load FLVs across an internal windows network but for some reason there is a discrepancy when trying to do so through the Linksys NSL adapter and/or EXT3 formatted Seagate HD. (these devices do happen to utilize Linux formatted firmware).

If anyone has any idea about how to resolve something like this, I'd appreciate it so much. i'm hoping maybe there is a local Sandbox/Security tweak I could make, but i can't find any reference to this issue anywhere.

Thanks so much!!

Encountered Problems With A Hidden Button On A Loaded Movie...PLEAE HELP
Hi,
If anyone can give me a hint , anything ... on why is it that a loaded movie whose function is to scroll a menu ( it has a /tracker [hidden button])...is disabling my other buttons on the lower level. Before u rollover the menu, the buttons actually work..
I made sure that the button(hidden) is the same dimension as the scrolling menu.

I'm sure it has to do with the Drag...I am new at this ...actually I've tryied to work on another way to get a scrolling effect ...ja , no luck

If anyone knows of a thread for scrolling , that doesn't involve a hidden button ...please post it ...

Gracci tanti

Code To Resize Flash Content Based On Screen Dimmensions? Already Encountered Problems.
Ok Guys-

So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
www.nicksdesign.com/flash

I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in flash, and the problem is...
I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great- the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.

However-
I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see all the content on the 100% flash website.

My question-
Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML, based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same browser]

Any help would be SUPER appreciated

Best Regards,

Nick Smith

Unexpected Mc Reload. HELP
I have a masked mc that I have scripted to goto and stop frame 2 so as the mask tweens, it appears to reveal the mc.
As the last frame of the mask tween loads, it also forces the masked mc to reload and reset to frame 1.

I can't figure out why or how to correct this issue.

Anyone experience this?
any ideas?

Unexpected Format On .FLA
Hi all, first post so be gentle !

I have been passed an FLA to edit, simple stuff really but author unknown by provider, i have tried to open in both MX Studio and MX 2004 and get a loud beep (turn down that speaker) and a grey box saying UNEXPECTED FORMAT - any ideas ?

There is an outside chance that the file is corrupt, but the included SWF works fine.

Cheers all.

Unexpected Fileformat Why?
Im trying to open a old site i did in 2004 (probably in an older Flash version) because i have tu update it. But i get the message "Unexpected fileformat" when i try to open the .fla's

Im aware of that this can hapen if you go from Newer to older versions but to my knowledge it shouldn't happen when you go from a older to a newer!!!???

Does annybodey have a clue??? should a try an older flash version!??

can i probably go around it somehow?, or is my problem something else!?

please help fast, have to resolve this otherwise im screwd! :-(

Unexpected XML Behavior
I have an XML file with a list of photos which I need to step through and put the data into a couple of arrays. I am using a for loop and nextSibling to step through the data, but it takes 2 iterations to get to the next sibling for some reason, and that is messing my script up. Any ideas?

Actionscript 2.0 code snippet:
var numOfRooms = parseInt(photoData.firstChild.attributes.num);
aChild=photoData.firstChild.firstChild;
for (var c=0; c<numOfRooms; c++)
{
trace("c="+c+". Current node: "+aChild.attributes.path);
photoPaths[c] = aChild.attributes.path;
photoDescs[c] = aChild.attributes.desc;
aChild=aChild.nextSibling;
}

XML:
<photos num="7">
<photo path="1.jpg" desc="This first room"/>
<photo path="2.jpg" desc="this is the second room"/>
<photo path="3.jpg" desc="This is the third room"/>
<photo path="4.jpg" desc="This is the fourth room"/>
<photo path="5.jpg" desc="This is the fifth room"/>
<photo path="6.jpg" desc="This is the sixth room"/>
<photo path="7.jpg" desc="This is the seventh room"/>
</photos>

Output Window:
c=0. Current node: undefined
c=1. Current node: 1.jpg
c=2. Current node: undefined
c=3. Current node: 2.jpg
c=4. Current node: undefined
c=5. Current node: 3.jpg
c=6. Current node: undefined


I am perplexed, maybe my data is not formated quite right? Thanks in advance for any help. I'm using MX 2004 Pro.

I have been working with flash from vesion 4
(Not professional, just for fun)

Unexpected MouseOut
I have a menu item,...mouse over, and the sub menus will appear below. The architecture i was going for was,
1-mouse over main mc
2-mc adds an empty mc (a container) that will hold the submenu mc's
3-add submenu mc to container
4-user can mouse over submenu and select a submenu mc

the problem is a few: the container mc appears to be quite low, and then when i am to mouse over the subs (or the container) Flash responds as if it is a mouseOut on the main mc...any thoughts

i think this may be answerable (is that a word?) without the code, but i have attached the key methods as well


Code:

private function showSub(me:MouseEvent):void
{

var bx:bbb_Button=bbb_Button(me.currentTarget);
bx.upDown="down";
//find boxes below:
this.lowerGroup=extract(bx);

//add the submenus

var subContainer:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
subContainer.name="subContainer";
subContainer.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,positionSUBS)
bx.addChild(subContainer);
//start the flow:

bx.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,roll);
}
private function positionSUBS(ev:Event):void
{
var bx=ev.currentTarget.parent
var subLength:Number=bx.xml.sub.length()

for(var y:Number=0;y<subLength;y++){
var subMenu:bbb_SubButton= new bbb_SubButton(bx.xml.sub[y].toString(),bx.xml.sub[y].attribute("url"))

subMenu.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,positionAndPrep)
ev.currentTarget.addChild(subMenu) ;
}
}

Where Did These Unexpected Errors Come From?
Hi,

So the project I'm working on has started throwing errors for apparently no good reason. It tells me one of the classes is trying to reference something it can't, but nothing relating to it has been changed. I haven't so much as touched the class files and documents that were publishing before (and haven't been changed) are now throwing these errors too. It also happens whether I use Flash 8 or CS3.

I've tried replacing the classes from a backup, just in case they'd got corrupted somehow, and clearing the ASO cache but to no avail.

Please, does anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Unexpected '/' In RegExp
Thanks for reading this, I am trying to match values from a texfile using Zinc 3.0 to import the text file into a string. If you read the following page,

http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=183562

it will explain what I've done so far. But I am working in AS2.0. So how can I solve the Unexpected '/' encountered that I am getting on this code?

Unexpected Results
I'm not getting the results I expect with this code: var numPoints:uint = selectedPieces * selectedPieces * selectedPieces;

Tween, Unexpected End
Hi,
I'm trying to simulate ocean waves for a presentation. In order to make it look random I've added 2 waves with a coded tween each. Once a tween is over it gets recalculated and moves to the other edge. And so and so.
The problem here is sometimes this tweens comes interrupted with no reason and neither a TweenEvent is dispatched. So... why does my tween end unexpectedly or how can I detect it in order to make it run again?

Thanks a lot

Unexpected Mc Reload Problem
I'm scripting a masked mc to goto and stop frame 2,
but when the mask finishes it's tween to reveal the mc, it reloads the masked mc which has a stop on frame 1.
so I can see the mc as the mask opens and as soon as it stops, the mc goes to and stops frame 1.

Any idea how to overcome this?

Unexpected Pauses In Scenes ..?
I am having an issue with a FLA i am working on. The movie contains lots of scenes (by neccesity) and there are only simple goTo label commands in the movie. The playhead seems to stop at acertain poins, and in particular one scene (the menu scene). I have re-written and checked through the actions in the movie, but to no avail.

This movie was doing the same thing a while ago, but in a different place, and i changed the position of some of the labels.. and it seemed to just start working again. This situation didn't last long, as the problem started to crop up elsewhere??

The scene that is the problem will load, but it just stops as soon as it hits frame 1. I have tried different labels names, and going to a frame rather than a label, but it makes no difference.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force and a scene to play?? i have even tried putting 'play' actions on the first few frames.. but NO..

err... any help would be very much appreciated.

The scene that is the problem will load, but it just stops as soon as it hits frame 1. I have tried different labels names, and going to a frame rather than a label, but it makes no difference.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force and a scene to play?? i have even tried putting 'play' actions on the first few frames.. but NO..

err... any help would be very much appreciated.

Unexpected File Formats
Hello!

I had a Flash movie that I made on a PC, then altered it on a Mac OS 10, and now it says "unexpected file format" when I load it back on my PC. Before, I did this with no problems. Any help on how I can get my movie back?

Thanks

Unexpected File Format
Hello,

I was working on flash mx (on a mac) at work and I sent the file to myself via email because I thought I could work on it at home (on a pc). When I tried to open it, it said unexpected file format.

Is there anyway I would be able to work on this file on my PC?

Unexpected File Format ?
I don't understand why I am getting this error message when trying to open a .swi file. Nothing has changed since then (ie. no new updates to swish, etc) I have been working on the movie every day..and suddently today I get this message. I have a lot of time invested in this, I really hope it is not gone forever! Does anyone know what could be wrong/how I can fix this?

Thank you for any feedback.

Unexpected File Format
Hey guys .. I am having this issue. I wanted to look at an FLA that someone posted here, but when I tried to open it (in 7.0), it says "UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT." So I updated to 7.0.1, and now they work! But all my files that were created in 7.0 are now not openable!

Im going insane I just lost my whole homepage design, because no one is going to have v7.0 to download.
