Can This Code Be Written Better Than I Have

Is This Code Written Wrong?
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var time = new Date();
var month = time.getMonth()+1;
var day = time.getDate();
var hours = time.getHours();
var minutes = time.getMinutes();
var seconds = time.getSeconds();
var milliseconds = time.getMilliseconds();
this.hour._rotation = 30 * hours + minutes / 2;
this.min._rotation = 6 * minutes;
this.sec._rotation= 6 * seconds;
this.mil._rotation= .36 * milliseconds;
this.month._rotation= 30 * month;
this.day._rotation= 360/31 * date;
}

For some reason, all the hands work except the month and the day. How come?

ActionScript 3.0: Can This Code Be Written Better Than I Have?
hi everybody.


once in a while I try to stop and see if I can learn anything from what I have made.
today I've made this simple picture gallery;

Code Hints For Own Written Classes?
I was wondering if there is someway to get code-hints from your own classes. For example MyClass:


Code:
class MyClass
var id:Number;
var word:String;

function MyClass(thisId:Number, thisWord:String):Void{
id = thisId;
word = thisWord;
}

function setWord(thisWord:String):Void{
word = thisWord();
}
}
When working in any AS edit window I would much like to have code hints for this class. Like this:


Code:
foo = new MyClass(1,"name");
foo.[codehint here]
Does anyone know if this is possible? I know it is possible to edit the codehint XML, but that is not quite what i'm looking for...

Can This Be Re-written?
Hi,

I was wondering if you knew if this can be re-written?

I use XML which is:

PHP Code:



var x:XML = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;

var urls:Array = new Array();
var captions:Array = new Array();
var whoIsOn:Number = 0;

x.onLoad = function(success) {
    var number:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    for(i=0;i<number.length;i++) {
        urls.push(number[i].attributes.url);
        captions.push(number[i].attributes.caption);
        trace(urls[i]);
        trace(captions[i]);
        mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_"+i, i);

    }
     
        whoIsOn = 0;  
    Download_On_Itunes.caption.text = captions[0];
    //    mc.attachMovie("my_mc"+((i%12)+1),"urls"+([i]+1),1);
  

}




But this is what I want to re-write. I'm having problems getting the images which are pushed here

PHP Code:



urls.push(number[i].attributes.url);




To get inside my my_mc.


PHP Code:



mc.attachMovie("my_mc"+((i%12)+1),"urls"+([i]+1),1);




Can anyone tell me what I can do?
Thanks

Could This Be Written More Efficiently?
hi there all you scripting masters! ok so I've got this piece of AS that I'm sure can be much simpler than what I've got. Firstly I'll explain what it does:
I have a number of thumbnails that are movie clips named "afpthumb, dtsthumb, etc etc etc" - then some more movieclips that are the highlights for these thumbs. So when you mouse over the thumbs, the highlights turn on (named afphigh, dtshigh etc etc etc). Then if a user clicks on a thumbnail another movieclip appears, named, afpblog, dtsblog. Does that make sense??? Also, if a thumbnail is click, its highlight stays on until another thumb is clicked.



Code:
activetvc = none

afpthumb.onRelease = function () {
if (activetvc != afpblog) {
activetvc.gotoAndPlay(13)
afpblog.gotoAndPlay(2)
activehigh._alpha = 0

activetvc = afpblog
activehigh = afphigh
}
}

dtsthumb.onRelease = function () {
if (activetvc != dtsblog) {
activetvc.gotoAndPlay(13)
dtsblog.gotoAndPlay(2);
activehigh._alpha = 0

activetvc = dtsblog
activehigh = dtshigh
}

}

afpthumb.onRollOver = function () {
afphigh._alpha = 100
}

afpthumb.onRollOut = function () {
if (activetvc != afpblog) {
afphigh._alpha = 0
}
}

dtsthumb.onRollOver = function () {
dtshigh._alpha = 100
}

dtsthumb.onRollOut = function () {
if (activetvc != dtsblog) {
dtshigh._alpha = 0
}
}
this way is working for me, but there are many more thumbnails to apply it to.

if you go to www.bearcage.com.au/test/ and then go to the TVC section you can see what I'm trying to do.

Thanks!

I Need A Forum, Which Is Written In Flash/PHP
Hi guys

I'm looking for a Forum which is written in PHP and the *.fla should be downloadable.

If you know such forums plz tell me.

This is my favorit:
http://www.onlinewebservice.de/board...424&badword1=&

but I can't use this forum , because my homepage is only in flash written. And thís URL is html. So my forum should be an integral part of my flash homepage.

Please, Help Me With The Weirdest Script I've Ever Written
Please, help me with the weirdest script I've ever written!!!
The goal:
I have a grid, with 7 positions at X and Y. This make 49 positions total, right?
So, I want to place 49 instances of someMC, one in each position. Of course, I cant repeat them....
Some considerations:
X = new Array(7);//the number of positions for X and Y
Y = new Array(7);
occupied = new Array(X.length*Y.length); //the amount of positions for occupied
X[0] = 40; //the initial X and Y positions, has to be like this
Y[0] = 40;
for (i=1; i<=6; i++) { //the others are plus 80:
X[i] = X[i-1]+80;
Y[i] = Y[i-1]+80;
}
for (i=0; i<=6; i++) { //store the pairs like: 40e40, 40e120,40e200 etc, total 49 iterations
for (z=0; z<=6; z++) {
occupied.push(X[i]+"e"+Y[z]);
}
}
The scrIPtcH:
for (i=0; i<=49; i++) {
attachMovie("someMC", i, i);
entraX = X[random(X.length)];//X[0] is 40, remember?
entraY = Y[random(Y.length)];
for (z=0; z<=occupied.length; z++) { //test for all the occupieds
if (entraX+"e"+entraY == occupied[z]) {
setProperty(i, _x, entraX);
setProperty(i, _y, entraY);
occupied.splice(z, 1); //if they are equal, I take this value of occupied
}
}
}


Of course this is not working....

AIR Problems With Written As3 Calendar
Hi there,

i am currently writing an event calendar in AIR, completely done in As3. Included in this program is a As3 Calendar which is basically a enhanced version of this one here: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=281250
i have changed some things but not too much...

Now the calendar with all his functions shows up pretty nice when i Test the Movie directly in Flash, but when i export the whole thing to AIR and install it, the calendar is gone... below is the script which loads the calendar.

Is there anything in AIR to look at or to write different?! Maybe AIR cant handle the date() thing?

The funny thing is that everything works perfect in Flash but ONLY the Calendar is missing in AIR...

Anybody has a solution?!


Code:
var monthsOfYear:Array = new Array("Jaenner", "Februar", "Maerz", "April", "Mai", "Juni", "Juli", "August", "September", "Oktober", "November", "Dezember");

Form Written By Thomas Watson
I use form written by Thomas Watson in a new designed website. I encountered an error which I am not able to solve even few hours effort has been thrown. The effort, however, is in vain.

If the swf form is individually used in an pop up html, i don't have any problem in sending it.
http://www.baptain.com/appointmentcgi1.html

However, if I'm using it through load movie on level 1, the error box showing 'a text field is not filled' will kept popped up, even all the text field has been filled. Below is the url
http://www.baptain.com --> ENTER --> appointment

would appreciate if any of the expert around can help me solving this problem. Thanks a million

Written In An External File With No Php And No Sharedobject
Hi,

I need too use persistant variables to store user's preferences.

The swf is basically an advanced slide show for photographers to show their work to their clients.

The variables have to be received and posted from the same swf on a local disc.
Then, when user has set up his preferences on local, he copy the swf file on a cd.

First I used a txt file to store the variables.
Problems:

- do not know how to write or change the txt file from the swf.
- txt file is visible and external people can modify the swf behavior by changing the txt file.

Then I used the sharedobject wich solved those two problems but came out a new problem :

- When I copy the swf to the cd, sharedobject does not "follow" because it's not the same domain...

Arghhh... to make it short :

Considering those, how to use persistant variables on local and then copy evrything to a cd and make it work too?

Thanks

AttachMovie Over Written Current Mc Content
Not sure were i am going wrong. Hopfully someone can help.

I am using Flash 8 new upload feature(works fine)
The problem starts when i load the image back into flash.

Here is the function that i am using to load the image back in.
code:
function downloadImage (event:Object):Void {
//Generate random number so no 2 instances have the same name.
randNum = random (100);
trace ("random number=" + randNum);
imgHolder.attachMovie ("shootsHolder", "sHolder" + randNum, imgHolder.getNextHighestDepth (), {_x:0, _y:imgHolder._height + 1});
imgHolder["sHolder" + randNum].imagePane.loadMovie ( imageFile.name);
addMore._visible = 1;
upper.loadBar._xscale = 0;
upper.statusArea.text = "";
upper._visible = 0;
}

The first download of the image works but when i upload another image the first image that was downloaded into "imgHolder" is cleared. i hope that makes sense.

Anyone.

Well Written Tutorials Kirupa... Hooray...
i've just completed the 'add thumbnails' tutorial. and i have to say, it is one the best tutorials i have come across in my feverish exploration of the net to find what i needed...

i'm building the gallery into a portfolio....
my plan was to reload the xml actionscript into each new frame on the main timeline to create new galleries.

but i'm finding that the old actionscript doesn't clear despite changing the name of the xml file loaded.

have tried renaming etc. how would i clear previous frames to allow the new actionscript to work on each new page?

i realise this is probably an incredibly easy thing to do... i feel a bit like the village idiot...
can anyone help me?

NewWindow.focus();void(0);

if(w.indexOf("%")!=-1){
w = sysW*parseInt(w);
}
if(h.indexOf("%")!=-1){
h = sysW*parseInt(h);
}
}
on bttn:

Code:
on (release)
{
centerPopup("http://www.html.it","html","menubar=no");
}
This works great in the Firefox browser.
In IE it will give me a popup, LEFT TOP 400*400

Someone with a solution to make the same what FF does?

AttachMovie Over Written Current Mc Content
Not sure were i am going wrong. Hopfully someone can help.

I am using Flash 8 new upload feature(works fine)
The problem starts when i load the image back into flash.

Here is the function that i am using to load the image back in.

ActionScript Code:
function downloadImage (event:Object):Void {
//Generate random number so no 2 instances have the same name.
    randNum = random (100);
    trace ("random number=" + randNum);
    imgHolder.attachMovie ("shootsHolder", "sHolder" + randNum, imgHolder.getNextHighestDepth (), {_x:0, _y:imgHolder._height + 1});
    imgHolder["sHolder" + randNum].imagePane.loadMovie ( imageFile.name);
    addMore._visible = 1;
    upper.loadBar._xscale = 0;
    upper.statusArea.text = "";
    upper._visible = 0;
}

The first download of the image works but when i upload another image the first image that was downloaded into "imgHolder" is cleared. i hope that makes sense.

Anyone.

Thanks
Paul

IE Installs Components On Javascript Written Object Tag
I am linking via html to new window in a frameset with no scrollbars and with zero and 100 percent columns so I can put the swf right to the page edge in fullscreen.

The swf page then uses javascript to read the screen res and scale the swf accordingly so it goes full size at 1024 by 768 or 800 by 600 or whatever. It works okay but it takes a few seconds for the swf to appear fullscreen because the browser (IE6) says it is 'installing the components' that is, the flash player in the status bar. Why is this? It can't be my browser coz' it loads fine in the normal object/embed tag. Here is the javascript code that writes the problematic object tag. Any one any ideas?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

// the variables
flName = "scale.swf";
flHeight = '"'+ screen.Height +'"';
flWidth = '"'+ screen.Width + '"';



document.write(
"<OBJECT"
+ "CLASSID=clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
+ "WIDTH="+flWidth
+ "HEIGHT="+flHeight
+ "CODEBASE='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0'>"
+ "<PARAM NAME=MOVIE VALUE=" + flName + ">"
+ "<PARAM NAME=PLAY VALUE=true>"
+ "<PARAM NAME=LOOP VALUE=false>"
+ "<PARAM NAME=QUALITY VALUE=high>"
+ "<PARAM NAME=MENU VALUE=false>"
+ "<EMBED"
+ " SRC=" +flName

Input Fields Written To Txt File (Shout Box)
I'll try to make this as least wordy as possible...

I have three input fields in a Flash movie: Name, Email, and Comment. The user fills in all three fields, and clicks a "submit" button. I want to have all of that information written to a txt file in the following format:

Code:
<b><a href="mailto:<email_field>"><name_field></a></b><br><comment_field><br><br>
If another visitor fills in the information and submits it, I would like the same format above to be added to the TOP of txt file, making it like this:

Code:
<b><a href="mailto:<email_field_newest>"><name_field_newest></a></b><br><comment_field_newest><br><br>
...
<b><a href="mailto:<email_field_oldest>"><name_field_oldest></a></b><br><comment_field_oldest><br><br>
So the newest entry is on top and it goes down to the oldest at the bottom.

Whew, now, how in the world would I accomplish this? Would it be through an external PHP script or something? I know nothing about that... I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

So Close Yet No Data Being Written To One Field In Database
I have 5 text fields & 1 list box component. I have found lots of examples of databases passing data to Flash but not vice versa.

I realized that unlike the text inputs I had to set a variable for the list box I call OnlineAdTypes. I feel like I am very close because I do now see undefined rather than a blank field

Here is my AS


Code:
on(press){
function doSubmit()
{
userData = new LoadVars();
var myListbox = OnlineAdTypes;
userData.Name = Name;
userData.Advertiser = Advertiser;
userData.TypeAd = TypeAd;
userData.When = When;
userData.NonAdCustomOnline = NonAdCustomOnline;
userData.OnlineAdTypes = OnlineAdTypes.getSelectedItems();
userData.send
("processForm.asp",0,"post");
gotoAndStop(5);
}
my script processForm.asp


Code:
<%@language = "VBScript" %>
<%
strName = Request.Form("Name")
strAdvertiser = Request.Form("Advertiser")
strTypeAd = Request.Form("TypeAd")
strWhen = Request.Form("When")
strOnlineAdTypes = Request.Form("OnlineAdTypes")
strNonAdCustomOnline = Request.Form("NonAdCustomOnline")

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"DBQ=\contentmain_datasharedDBonlineAdCounter.mdb;"
SQL = "INSERT INTO contacts (Name, Advertiser, TypeAd, When, OnlineAdTypes, NonAdCustomOnline) VALUES ('"&strName&"','"&strAdvertiser&"','"&strTypeAd&"','"&strWhen&"','"&strOnlineAdTypes&"','"&strNonAdCustomOnline&"' )"
conn.Execute SQL, recaffected

Response.Write(strName) & "<br>"
Response.Write(strAdvertiser) & "<br>"
Response.Write(strTypeAd) & "<br>"
Response.Write(strWhen) & "<br>"
Response.Write(strOnlineAdTypes) & "<br>"
Response.Write(strNonAdCustomOnline) & "<BR/><br/>"
Response.Write(recAffected)
%>

Info Written To Text File For Printing Or Emailing
hi
I need a way to log mouse clicks/choices from on screen (Flash 5 pls!)to a text file of some description.

The aim is to produce a list of choices from a pictorial gallery (ie click on a picture, the name of which gets sent to a txt file accrued in a list format.)
This will then be avaialble for printing direct to printer or alternatively hitting another button will email this list direct to the client.
I will be accessing this text file (or whatever) from various swf files so that should be considered also pls.

This sounds like it is two processes at least and I can't think of a way to do this. Any ideas would be greatfully recieved.

If anyone has ordered shopping on line from tescos will know what I mean when I say email a list of choices made.(I just want a printout facillity too!)

thank you

External Text In Flash AS2 But Written In Other Languages (Greek_Chinese- Etc)
Hi...i cant make this work... even though there must be a simple explanation to this...

This code works fine
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
myText_txt.text = this.content;
};
myData.load("Tips.txt");

stop();

It loads from a Tips.txt file...but it works only when the content insight is written in English... i tried other languages like Greek for example.. and it wont load the text.. Any ideas how to fix this?

i tried saving the .txt in UTF-8 and also ANSI but still nothing... do i have to change something on the FLA or in my txt file?

Thank you Good People

Interactive Image Panning - Question Re: Tutorial Written By Kirupa, By Krilnon
I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, sorry first time here.

I've been looking at the tutorial provided by Krilnon on 02 July 2006 named Interactive image panning. A very neat little tute, but I'd like to develop the actionscript to suit a project I'm currently working on. Unfortunately my understanding of Actionscript is poor...

In the original tutorial Krilnon uses Stage.width to keep the scrolling image within the boundries of the stage.

I would like to use an image which is the same width as the stage and get it to scroll only marginally. The image is behind a mask which it must scroll within the boundries of.

To make things a little bit more complicated, I actually have 3 images behind a mask which I'd like to scroll at different speeds.

I've uploded a swf which illustrates the idea, but uses different actionscript and (as you can see) the images move whereever the mouse goes with no constraint.

http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?i...itytestfe4.swf

I think what I need to do is replace the Stage.width in Krilnon's code with the dimensions of the mask, but I don't know how to do this.

Can anyone help???
