Flash :: Please Check Script

Reality Check: Flash CS3/AS3 Check Syntax
I need a quick reality check. I've finally started playing around in CS3/AS3 on my Mac. Whenever I click "check syntax" I get a very limited error response: specifically, I get actual syntactical errors (e.g., a missing brace or paren), but I get NO COMPILER ERRORS (e.g., use of an undefined method or property). These compiler errors trigger at runtime, but not having them during authoring makes coding and debugging unnecessarily difficult.

Is this really how it's supposed to work?

In Flash8/AS2, we had compile-checking right in the AS file. If I attempted to access an undefined method or property, the error-checker would catch that right away. No time-consuming compile was necessary to catch these obvious errors (see example below). But AS3 doesn't seem to be as clever.

Am I missing something?

Thanks much!

-------------EXAMPLE---------------

Attach Code

import flash.display.BitmapData;

class myClass{

var _bmp:BitmapData;

function myClass(){
_bmp = new BitmapData(500,300);
_bmp.methodNotDefined();//unknown method of BitmapData triggers an error
myVar = 5;//unknown property of myClass triggers an error
}
}

HELP Check Box W/ DYNAMIC Check Value?
I was wondering if you can make the Check Box component have a dynamically-loaded check value.

I would like to have it read the "&price1" variable from a text file.

If you know how to do this, please help.

thanx!

CHECK IT OUT IT'S MY FIRST
I JUST finished my very very first fully actionscripted movie. It's a very very small file, the swf itself is LESS than 1kb, and I'm so very proud of it. Check it out here http://www.skycastleprod.com/demo/aboutintro.html
Anyways, I know this is soooo easy for some of you guys, but I'm so happy and proud of it that I thought I'd post it here. It's generated randomly every single time, and all of it is done using one movie clip. Anyways, I'm just really happy!!!! Have a nice day!

Can Somebody Please Check This
Hello,

I have just about had it with this thing. I am not that proficient in actionscript and would really love to learn a few things for starters:

I have two buttons forward & next

Next button:

on (release) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(_currentframe -1);
}

&

Forward button:

on (release) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(_currentframe +1);
}

I have a text box on my main timeline called text and I am calling external files with links above it. How do I get these buttons to work properly? Is it possible to record which page the user has last viewed in a textbox.

Any advice on this would be very helpful. I already have the links working to load the files it is the functionality that I put on those buttons that is giving me lots of trouble.

Thanks

I basicly have a puzzle. I have buttons inside of MC which are the pieces to puzzle, with the script below on each button. Everything works fine except the _rotation part. Is my logic wrong or syntax??

Note: The z is and instance of the same MC. It is used to have to pieces snap into place.

on (press) {
grab = true;
if ((_x != _parent.z._x) && (_y != _parent.z._y)) {
startDrag ("");
}
}
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
if (grab == true) {

"Summary:
Although multimedia has its role on the Web, current Flash technology tends to discourage usability for three reasons: it makes bad design more likely, it breaks with the Web's fundamental interaction style, and it consumes resources that would be better spent enhancing a site's core value. "

while trying to find out how to link to applications/folders on the user's computer in Flash, i found this:

http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/art_htm.html

check the last paragraph on section 1, where he says:

"If you would like to use scripts (onClick...) change the url by scripting using window.location.href="run:x:pathexecutable.exe"; or if this doesn't work (?) with a double url change: window.location.href="javascript:window.navigate( "run:"+appName+"")";. In this case don't forget to double the backslashes if you use them. You can download a zipped .js file containing a small Open() function that does this here."

there's gotta be a way to make this work in flash, to get a button in Flash to link to a file/application/etc. is there any way?

.txt Check
I have a movie with 4 scenes with 4 points each that come up one at a time that runs from a set location (not online) so the content being pulled is a .txt file in the same location using the loadVariables.

Now, I want to use actionscript to check the .txt file before each point to determine if it should A. continue (because there IS a next point) or B. go to the next scene (because there IS NOT a next point).

Any help would be appreciated.

http://blake.prohosting.com/~tektips...ript/dhtml.htm

I've set up this movie with a javascript detection bit, that monitors the mouse being over the movie area or not.
If you hover the bottom of the movie, a nav bar should appear, and it should close if you hover upwards, if the mouse cursor remains within the movie area.
Now, on the other hand, if you leave the movie area through the bottom or sides of this nav bar, the hitTest is no longer detected, so the nav bar stays up.
I've thus coded this so that a mouse click on the movie's surrounding html area (or on the "target" button), closes the nav bar.

This all works fine for me on Windows, and IE5.5...
What I'd like to know, is does it work for you all or not, and on what OS and/or browsers, does it work or not...

Thanks!

Check Box Php
Hi.

I'm using a standard flash check box component as part of an information form. I want to be able to set up the check box so that when it is selected the associated php script shows that the box has been ticked when the user choses to email the information.

I understand how I would do this if it was text in a input text box. But does anybody know how to get the same effect with a check box component? What do I need to do to the component and what do I need to add to the php?

The php script is shown below. Name, email and telephone are gathered from input text boxes in flash.

PHP Code:

<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$telephone = $_POST["telephone"];
$message = str_replace("
", "
", $_POST["message"]);
$message = "THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS SENT:

name:        $name
email:        $email
telephone:    $telephone


$message

";
mail("something@something.com", "WEBSITE FORM TEST", $message, "From: $email");
?>

Also, would the same principle work for a combo box?!

Thanks

Okay, I created a transition effect and now I really want to know what people think about it. Check out the .fla file I attached.

I'm curious if you who are reading this, could recommend a better way to create the transition. I have a feeling that the way I created it is sloppy and my stage would end up being very cluttered and confusing if I was to add more buttons that linked to additional scenes... Is this true? Or is the way I did it the only good way that exists?

I checked the kirupa.com tutorials but they won't work for what I need because the project I'm working on can't use external SWFs. It has to be one single projector.exe file when I'm all done with everything.
