SetInterval, Trace Progress?

[AS2] SetInterval - In Progress?
I'm wondering if anyone here has encountered a boolean or code that you could check if a setInterval is actually running, without writing an extra code of "running = true" type of code.

Best example I could give if that I have a clock running via setInterval, ticking a second off the clock every 1000 ms with:
TickTock = setInterval(ClockTick, 1000);

So is there a way to call something that would essentially tell me "yes, the setInterval TickTock is in progress" ?

Loading Multiple Jpg's And Check Progress With SetInterval
Hi All,
I've had a look at a few examples but can't find what I need:
I am loading multiple jpg's of which I want to display the total % loaded by sending it to a dynamic text instance.
As this is all done in FMX I wanted to use the SetInterval method.
Has anyone some sample script that I may use for this?
I found this one http://actionscript-toolbox.com/samplemx_loadjpg.php but am not sure how it works as I can not figure out how this passed variable "mc" works.
I would greatly appreciate some tested code. And maybe it will inspire me to write a tutorial for this as there is not much to find about it.

This is a thread that discussed a fix to re-apply clip handlers
, http://www.actionscript.org/forums/...&threadid=13830

but uses the onLoad handler and I thought it was simpler to use setInterval.

Thanks,

[flash 8]Adapting 'Auto Trace Mouse' Script To Perfom 'Atuo Trace Object'
Hello everyone..

I am new to flash and I am hoping the good people of this forum will help.
I have this sript for auto tracing a mouse position (got from this site) but i would like intead of trcing the mouse...to get it to trace a random moving object from another script!

mouse script:

createEmptyMovieClip("Line",1);
Line.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
onMouseDown = function ()
{
Line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
onMouseMove = function ()
{ Line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);}
}

onMouseUp=function()
{
onMouseMove=null;
}

Random moving object:

loops = 0;
_root.target_x = Math.random()*450;
_root.target_y = Math.random()*300;
_root.xdiv = (_root.target_x-_root.circle._x)/20;
_root.ydiv = (_root.target_y-_root.circle._y)/20;
loops++;
_root.circle._x += _root.xdiv;
_root.circle._y += _root.ydiv;
loops++;
_root.circle._x += _root.xdiv;
_root.circle._y += _root.ydiv;
if (loops<20) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

I guess there is a way I can do this or it can be done...? Help will be much appreciated.

Thankz

Progress Bar For Showing Progress Of Loading Data From A CFC?
Hi all,

I wondered if anyone knew any way of showing a progress bar when calling a CFC through actionscript? I have a CFC which returns a ton of data, and so would like to show the progress of the data being loaded.

I know you can do this when loading a webpage, through using URLLoader, and getting the progress by listening to the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS event. However, when I call the CFC, I don't use the URLLoader class. My code for calling the CFC service looks like below


Code:
var service : RemoteObject = RemoteObject( ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService( "productService" ) );
var responder : GenericResponder = this.initResponder( getProductOptionListResult, getProductOptionListFault, resultHandle, faultHandle );
var call : AsyncToken = service.findOptionsForProduct( product );
thanks in advance for your help!

AS3 - Coding A Progress Bar To Show Progress Of A Timer.
Coding a progress bar to show progress of a Timer.

I have a timer that is set for (8000, 0). Pretty much what I would like to do is show the progress of where the timer is at but with a graphic. Something simple like a loader bar. Pending on where the timer is at the progress bar would load accordingly.

I am going to give it a try with out help but thought I would ask on the forum incase someone has an idea of how to do this before I go on a wild goose chase. Anyhow here goes the chase. If I figre it out before someone can help me I will post my code here.

Thanks,

Custom Objects And Internal SetInterval Loops -> A Problem Stopping The SetInterval
Let's say I had a class like this:


PHP Code:



var someVar = new Widget();

function Widget() {
    // Some variables, etc...
    this.int_someCommand = 0;
    // Activate the function on instantiation
    this.someCommand();
};

Widget.prototype.someCommand = function() {
    clearInterval(this.int_someCommand);
    this.int_someCommand = setInterval(this, 'someCommandLoop', 50);
};
Widget.prototype.someCommandLoop = function() {
    trace("THIS IS A WIDGET LOOP!");
}; 




...now, I was always under the impression that if you delete an object in Flash, the setInterval loops associated with it would die as well. But when I try to:


PHP Code:



// At some other point in my timeline...
delete someVar; 




or:


PHP Code:



someVar = new Object(); 




...the original loop is still running (I can tell just by reading the trace). How do I go about properly terminating a setInterval loop inside an Object without having to call a clearInterval()? Or is a clearInterval() the only way?

Thanks.

Tween Class, Does It Use Setinterval? Getting Strange Setinterval Type Problem
I have a gallery with small thumbnails. Upon clicking a thumbnail, I am using the Tween class to pull clips from an array and fade them between each other, loading the clips into a container.

When I click the thumbnail it loads the .swf fine and plays the Tween Class animation just as it's supposed to, however if I click any other thumbnail and go back to that first one the timing gets totally screwed up and the fades get jittery and overlap each other, much like it does with setInterval if you don't clear the intervals.

Is there a way to clear the Tween Class? Does it's timer run on setInterval?


This is the code I am using for the tween class


Thanks!


Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

//content movieclips put into an array
var mcArray:Array = new Array(content1, content2);
for (var k in mcArray) {
mcArray[k]._alpha = 0;
}

// tween class has something called "OnEnterFrameBeacon" and it is added to the stage
// when we import the as file, so I wanted to get rid of it.
var n:Number = 0;

function playFades() {
if (n<mcArray.length) {
var tween_handler1:Object = new Tween(mcArray[n], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true);
tween_handler1.onMotionFinished = function() {
//trace("motion finished by "+mcArray[n]);
//n++;
var tween_handler2:Object = new Tween(mcArray[n], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 100, 0, 3.5, true);
tween_handler2.onMotionFinished = function() {
//trace("motion finished by "+mcArray[n]);
n++;
playFades();
};
};
} else {
n = 0;
playFades();
}
}
playFades();

Progress Bar Not Showing Progress
Hi all

I have putted the code below in frame1, and then the actual movie in frame 2. The problem is that the code below doesn't show the progress unless i put the movie to start from say frame 5. Could someone please tell me why that is and any good progress bar code with percentage? I've actually tried a few tutorial sample and only this one works but need to move to higher frame no.

// stop the movie from continuing
stop();

// create a function called onEnterFrame
// with this name, it is an event handler
// and is called automatically by the flash
// player every frame at intervals specified
// by the frame rate of the movie
onEnterFrame = function(){

// percent loaded is loaded/total
var percent_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();

// assign percent loaded to preloader movie clip
// in the form of the variable named value
preloader_mc.value = percent_loaded;

if (percent_loaded == 1){

// delete the onEnterFrame event handler
// so that it is no longer being called
// every frame
delete onEnterFrame;

// tell the main timeline to play
play();
//gotoAndPlay(12);
}
}

Trace Cmd?
Got this from one of you guys. I'm tracing a in MC instance to see if anything's loading into it. Last night it worked great, today it's looping (just keeps repeating the output). Where or how did I make it do this?



Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = this.getBytesTotal();
loaded = this.getBytesLoaded();
trace("TOTAL: "+total+" bytes");
trace("LOADED: "+loaded+" bytes");
}


What would make it never end output?

URL Trace
I am building navigation (FLASH MX) for a Java CMS tool that is not finished yet. The page URL's will be supplied by the CMS tool. Is there a way to write an external file (XML or PHP) where you can trace the URL from the external file when you click the appropriate button (Flash Nav)? When the navigation is published, I just want to change the URL in the external file not in Flash.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help

Trace
I'm having problems with the trace action in MX 2004 as in it doesn't seem to work at all. Are there some settings to switch it on and off apart from the omit the trace actions checkbox in the publish settings. I'm trying to load a text doc with multiple variables in and then split it down into an array to load data into a form & it's proving to be near on impossible without the trace action.

Using TRACE
onClipEvent (load) {
i_counter = 0;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
trace("a_pos[" + i_counter++ + "] = [" + _x + "," + _y + "]");

i want to find the coordinates of the animation i did in a movie clip... tho i cant find it... can anyone tell me how to use this actionscript? do i insert any other numbers in it?

[F8] Using Trace();
Hi I've made a little scroller that works, for the most part. I'm stuck on some code though. I'm trying to use the trace() to insert a numeric value in a dynamic textfield. As of yet, I haven't been able to link the trace to the dynamic textfield, any ideas?

//Code:
var dTx:Number = new Number();
var rVal:Number = new Number();

awr.onMouseDown = function() {
startDrag(this, true, -143, -16, 143, -16);
}
awr.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
if(awr._x >= -6 && awr._x <= 8.6) { // 0
awr._x = 0;
dTx = 0;
}
else if(awr._x >= -48.4 && awr._x <= -34.5) { // -3
awr._x = -39;
dTx = -3;
}
else if(awr._x >= -34.4 && awr._x <= -19.3) { // -2
awr._x = -24.5;
dTx = -2;
}
else if(awr._x >= -19.2 && awr._x <= -6.1) { // -1
awr._x = -10;
dTx = -1;
}
else if(awr._x >= 8.7 && awr._x <= 21.2) { // 1
awr._x = 15;
dTx = 1;
}
else if(awr._x >= 21.3 && awr._x <= 35) { // 2
awr._x = 29;
dTx = 2;
}
else if(awr._x >= 35.1 && awr._x <= 49.1) { // 3
awr._x = 43;
dTx = 3;
}
//trace(awr._x);
trace(dTx);
rVal = dTx;
}

I've also tried:
if(awr.MouseUp == true) {
rVal = dTx;
}

[F8] Trace A Var When It Changes?
Hi,
I am trying to help someone who has a problem. Their movie is big, very big. There is a var that gets set on the _root named f. It gets set from many places. I would like to trace it.

I was going to put a trace in a onEnterFrame but that would crank out values in my output window.

Is there a way to trace f just when it changes?
thanks

Trace()
Can someone explain to me why my trace output is always scrolled up.

If I were to trace


enterFrame = function(){
trace(a)
a+=1
}



I wouldn't see 'a' getting larger. I would see the first few entries and I would have to scroll the output to see the rest.

Trace() ?
I've been doing a tower defence game but I've noticed one day that when I tried to put a trace() action to debug, it didn't work. creating dynamic text fields just to do the job is quite boring and I'm wondering if it had to do with that I published the .fla file. Even then I continued to use Test Movie to test the game. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Where To Put Trace()?
With the script below, I have been getting the following error:
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

Then, I have tried tracing e.target.data before passing it to URLVariables constructor... But I'm not sure where to place it!

Any help? THANK YOU

Trace XML Bug?
Hi
I'm trying to trace a XML object in Flash AS3. the trace function only works XML got childnodes.

// -- Output ---
<Gallery pageIndex="1">
<Image>54</Image>
</Gallery>

// -------- Example 2 ----------
var XMLData:XML= new XML('<Gallery pageIndex="1"></Gallery>');

// -- output ---
// well, nothing ?????

Shouldn't it trace something like this????
<Gallery pageIndex="1"/>


In AS2 it traces <Gallery pageIndex="1"/> like it should!

Anyone, please?

Bad Trace
Why can I not trace the width of one of any of the vars in the init function below?
The init function is called in the registered MainWindowClass function; while the drawShapes is called in the init function. The trace happens but the result is "undefined":


PHP Code:



#initclip
function MainWindowClass() {
    this.init();
    depth = 0;
    this.boundingBox_mc._visible = 0;
trace(panl._width);
}
MainWindowClass.prototype = new MovieClip();
MainWindowClass.prototype.init = function() {
    var hldr = this.hldr.createEmptyMovieClip("windowHolder_mc", depth++);
    var fram = this.hldr.createEmptyMovieClip("frame_mc", depth++);
    var panl = this.hldr.createEmptyMovieClip("panel_mc", depth++);
    this.drawShapes();
};
MainWindowClass.prototype.drawShapes = function() {
    // Draw Shapes
    tellTarget (fram) {
        a = 0;
        b = 300;
        c = 250;
        moveTo(a, a);
        colors = [0x5C5E83, 0x1B1C3F];
        alphas = [100, 100];
        ratios = [0, 0xff];
        matrix = {matrixType:"box", x:-200, y:-200, w:600, h:600, r:(90 * Math.PI) / 180};
        beginGradientFill("radial", colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);
        // left
        lineStyle(0, 0xABA9CD, 100);
        lineTo(a, b);
        // bottom
        lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 100);
        lineTo(c, b);
        // right
        lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 100);
        lineTo(c, a);
        // top
        lineStyle(0, 0xABA9CD, 100);
        lineTo(a, a);
        endFill();
    }
    tellTarget (panl) {
        a = 0;
        b =this._height - 6;
        c = this._width - 6;
        
        moveTo(a, a);
        colors = [0xceceff, 0x9191db];
        alphas = [100, 100];
        ratios = [0, 0xff];
        matrix = {matrixType:"box", x:-250, y:-250, w:500, h:500, r:(90 * Math.PI) / 180};
        beginGradientFill("radial", colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);
        // left
        lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 100);
        lineTo(a, b);
        // bottom
        lineStyle(0, 0xD0CEE3, 100);
        lineTo(c, b);
        // right
        lineStyle(0, 0xD0CEE3, 100);
        lineTo(c, a);
        // top
        lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 100);
        lineTo(a, a);
        endFill();
        //this.panl._x=this.width/2;
        
    }
}
Object.registerClass("FMainWindowSymbol", MainWindowClass);
#endinitclip 




Ph, and why does tellTarget work in this situation but not with?

Trace ?
Is it possible to trace more than one variable in the trace property? I tried something like this but it only returns the last variable.

ActionScript Code:
trace("g"+geek && "g1"+geek1)

---

A Trace ?
In the code below the only trace step that shows in the out put window is

PHP Code:



trace("the retail playList: "+playList); 




the other trace statements do show anything. Not even "undefined". Why wouldn't they appear?


PHP Code:



on (release) {if (back<=1) {myBtn.enabled = false;} else {//MyLoadCID = new LoadVars();MyLoadCID.load("CdTypes/ID.txt");MyLoadCID.onLoad = function(success) {if (success) {//trace("goo")FDR = MyLoadCID.ID;ID.text = FDR;//trace("ID = "+FDR);info(FDR);} else {trace("not loaded");}};function info(myVar) {MyLoadVars = new LoadVars();MyLoadVars.load("CdTypes/"+myVar+"RETAIL.txt", "CG");MyLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {if (success) {//trace("googoo")/////////////////////// START ARRAY /////////////////////////////////////////// name0 = this.name0;name1 = this.name1;name2 = this.name2;name3 = this.name3;name4 = this.name4;name5 = this.name5;name6 = this.name6;name7 = this.name7;name8 = this.name8;name9 = this.name9;//////////////// TEST ARRAY ///////////////////////////////////////// playList = new Array();for (i=0; i<15; i++) {if (this["name"+i] != null) {playList.push(this["name"+i]);// tells me what movie clip is currently playing//trace("currently playing "+this["name"+i]);}}trace("the retail playList: "+playList);trace("name "+name0)trace("this "+this.name0)///*if (this.name0 == null) {gotoAndPlay("CloseRetail");} else {if (this.name0 == +this.name0) {_root.gotoAndPlay("giftB");}}*/// } else {trace("not loaded");}};}////trace("back var "+back);//trace("current frame "+this._currentFrame);//back--;//_root.gotoAndStop("ba"+back);//MC.removeMovieClip();}} 




p.s. What happened to the [as] tags, didn't we use to use them on this forum?

Trace (011) = 9
Flash says that 011 traced == 9...

Why is this?

Is it binary?

How do I get it to display 11 as a number from that?:

---

Possible To Trace?
Hi, just wondering if it's possible in flash to do a trace output of the " sign, as it's a reserved symbol right?

Cos' I needed to output something like "pic1.jpg" and not pic1.jpg.

Thanks!

No Trace() In AIR
"Verbose" is OK., "Omit" is OK. I see trace() results in normal Flash documents. I see no trace() result during testing AIR documents: Control/Test Movie. Even when it is only one line of code. Output window doesn't start. If I open panel manually - it is empty.

For ... In... Trace
so i used to do simple little things like:

for (var p in _root) trace( p + " : " + _root[p] );

but that doesnt seem to work with AS3. what can i do instead?

---

Trace
AS3 is killing me. How do you trace and change a varibale in a parent movie. I have a loaded movie using
var PageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(page);
var PageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I want to be able to trace a parent variable from the loaded movie.

Can't Trace
It was still working some hours ago but now, it is not. Before that, I could still trace message and the output window will just pop up and show the message. But now, no matter how I trace, it don't show up in the output window anymore! I dont think my syntax has any problem. This is what i typed:
trace("test");
I put this code at the first frame of the stage's timeline and ran it.
I tested this on both Flash MX and 2004 and they both don't show the output window with the message at all. I tried opening the output window and then run but the output window shows blank!

After this, I tried it in Flash 5 and it worked well. The output window showed the word "test". Kinda weird? Did I accidentally set anything I didn't notice that caused this?
I am a little new to actionscripts as I am always into tweening until recently. Hope somebody can help me...thanks...

---

Trace
This is a ridiculous question but here goes. if I put this in my actions..first frame on the _root

ActionScript Code:
num = 2trace(num);


I should get the number 2 in my output window right? I am trying to use it in a more complicated postion, but it won't work so I tried this little test and it seems it won't even work there. Am I missing something really rudimentary? I even looked for tutorials and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Am I crazy? What am I missing? Probably something embarassing.
Please help.

What Is TRACE
It may be a newbie question, but what is trace and how do i get it working?

I think it is similar to JS alert(); no?

If so how does it work?

Thanks in advance,

Won't Trace?
hey, im pulling in data from an external txt file created by php. I can't get it to trace anything out... at all. It's weird because its an example from the help area in flash... argh.
Anyone have any ideas?


ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;import flash.net.*;var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("http://localhost/media_gallery/loadinfo.php"));function completeHandler(event:Event):void{    var myLoader2:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);    var myVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(myLoader2.data);    var galleryimageArray:Array = myVariables.galleryimages.split("|");    trace(galleryimageArray);}
