Many IF Statements Or One Sine Statement?
Hi, for my game i have a rotating man that moves in one of 16 directions. Now would it be better (in performance terms) to use 8 IF statements to control his movement or just one Sine calculation??
Bit of a conumdrum for me...
Loading Data From XMl File And Uses It To Run An If Statement. If Statement Fails.
[Flash CS3 (Flash 8 available as well)]
[Actionscript V2 (AS3 Not available for this project. End result must be in AS2. Plus I haven't learned AS3 yet)]
Hi
Sorry about running two posts so close together, but I couldn't change the other one to reflect the changes I've made in my problem.
The 1st post dealt with my theory that my IF statement wasn't written correctly, and so failed. But I've since disproved that.
Okay here is the situation.
I isolated elements from a larger app that I'm putting together and the problem still followed.
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.
The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)
Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)
Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//point to the first node with information
var track_xml = data_xml.firstChild;
//loop through each node
while (track_xml != null) {
//print out each node
test1 = track_xml.toString();
//point to the next node
track_xml = track_xml.nextSibling;
//Runs my code
//Define the contents of two text fields located in the movie
textOne = data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[3].firstChild;
textTwo = data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[5].firstChild;
trace("data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[3].firstChild = " + data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[3].firstChild);
trace("data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[5].firstChild = " + data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[5].firstChild);
/*dummyYes = data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[5].firstChild;
dummyNo = data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[6].firstChild;
dummyMaybeEmail = data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[3].firstChild;
dummyMaybeFax = data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[4].firstChild;*/
//Checks between the two text fields for a match
if (textOne == textTwo) {
trace("It is selected!" + textOne + " " + textTwo);
check_fax.selected = true;
} else {
trace("Ir is NOT selected!" + textOne + " " + textTwo);
check_fax.selected = false;
};
}
} else {
trace("error reading file");
}
delete data_xml;
};
data_xml.load("XML/dummy2 - email.xml");
};
After you read the code, you'll have noticed the trace commands I stuck in there.
They send this to the output panel:
Code:
data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[3].firstChild = 1
data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[5].firstChild = 1
Ir is NOT selected!1 1
So as far as I can see, it reads the XML file with no problems, it loads the text fields with no problem. But for some reason the IF statement refuses to recognize that both the XML nodes contain the same information.
If I alter the code like so:
Code:
textOne = 1;
textTwo = 1;
Then the IF statement works. It sees that the two text fields are identical in content, and the checkbox is selected.
So whats wrong with the Data from the XML file?
I haven't a clue.
I tried converting from a string to a Numeral using:
Code:
newText = Number(textOne);
But that didn't work, it just produced "NaN" when traced.
I tried populating the XML file with text versus numbers, still no luck.
What came from the trace:
Code:
data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[3].firstChild = hi
data_xml.firstChild.childNodes[5].firstChild = hi
Ir is NOT selected!hi hi
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.
CheckBoxes are mandatory.
But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
I'd really appreciate some help and suggestions with this, I think I'm out of ideas.
Thanks

Converting 'If Else' Statement To A 'switch' Statement

If Statements - Help Me
I have built this code to determine whether a button has been clicked to send it to a specific frame.
Trace(thisClick);
//Traces variable to return value as a test to me
if (thisClick=2) {
gotoAndPlay ("viewing");
} else {
stop ();
}
thisClick is returned as 0 but still the if statement runs.
For some reason Flash runs the code even though the variable thisClick is not equal to 2.
I have found that I must use this code instead but it is not as accurate and I would like to know why it is happening.
if (thisClick<>0) {
gotoAndPlay ("viewing");
} else {
stop ();
}
Should I use an else if ??
Thanks!
Help With If Statements
Basically for some reason I'm having problems with if statements - for some reason Flash wont allow me to use else if's it keeps saying it cant find matching if even though there is one directly above it - with correct amount of brackets andno syntax errors thoughout the script.
Other problem this is an extract of the code - i've traced it and it doesnt do the comparison correctly when sgoto = 1 it goes through the ==2 statemt too.
I've tried eq "1", ==1 and (eval(sgoto == 1))
but it still doesnt work any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

hi there hope you can help.
I have an input box which users type a name into and a function which then uses that name to create a seperate section.
BUT, if they type for instance "Bob" I want it to not do the function.
Normally this would be fine as i would do:
Code:
if (input_text ne "Bob"){
gotoAndPlay("myfunction")
}
the problem is that if someone types "bob" or "bOb" or "BoB" etc etc it does not get stopped by the error check.
It gets more complicated.... the "not allowed" words are longer than bob, between 3 and 6 letters long and there are around four of them so it would ridiculous to have to enter all combinations of the words in order to put them in to the error checkin thing.
Any ideas????

First off I have a button that when I roll over it it tells an mc to move to a certain location. What I want to know is if I have all ready rolled over it and the mc is in its other location, how would I tell that same button that if I rollover it and the mc is in that location not to do anything? Otherwise, if I roll over it again it jumps to the first frame and moves again, looks tacky...
Any help would be great, thanks william

Maybe someone can help me figure this out...
Below is my code. It is a movie to detect keypresses. Basically what it is intended to do is the following:
-if a person presses Ctrl/C (nested below), Q1=correct.
-If a person presses anything but that combo, Q1 is incorrect.
This means I have to check first for any key press other than ctrl, and mark that as incorrect.
The tricky part is then tracking if the person does hit ctrl, I have to make sure that everything but ctrl followed by c is incorrect (ei, ctrl/a, ctrl/b, ctrl/d are all incorrect - only ctrl/c is correct).
Any ideas on how to do this? Seems like when I nest the two key downs and add and else statement, the second keydown is ignored. Below is my script:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
pressed = Key.getCode();
if (Key.isDown(17)) {
if (Key.isDown(88)) {
_root.Q1 = "true";
_root.NextFrame();
}
}
}
Thanks!

I'm using Flash MX.
Apologies in advance for the how basic this problem is.
I have a navigation menu, that I want the user to have control over with a button called "menu". The nav. menu is a MC called "buttons". When the user clicks 'menu', I want to use an if statement to determine where the 'buttons' MC is, and whether to push it off stage or pull it on stage.
So, for example, to begin with the menu is hidden. When the user clicks 'menu', the menu slides onto the stage, when the user clicks 'menu' again, the menu should slide off stage.
This is this code I am using:
on (release) {
if (_x._root.buttons = -740) {
setProperty("buttons", _x, 5);
} else {
setProperty("buttons", _x, -740);
}
}
This allows the menu to show up on 1st click, but does not remove the menu on 2nd click. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I know my code is inconsistent - can someone help me clean it up a little?
Eventually, I want to tween this menu with actionscript, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Awright guys
right i amm trying to acumplish the same effect that can be found @ http://www.egomedia.com(NEW), The way the windows r minamized and maximized. I have it working fine but i have run into a small snag. When the windows r minimized they overlap each other when @ the same _x and _y but i have code setup to chack wether x_ is true or false, Wether or not it is available. have a look @ the code below
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.win1mx == "1") {// Checks to see if the min button has been pressed
_x += (_root.x1-_x)/_root.speed;//move
_y += (30-_y)/_root.speed;
_root.x1mx;// Makes x1 true(unavailable)
}
if (_root.x1mx) {// If not available goto x2
_x += (_root.x2-_x)/_root.speed;//
_y += (30-_y)/_root.speed;
_root.x2mx;// Makes x2 true(unavailable)
}
if (_root.x2mx) {// If not available goto x3
_x += (_root.x3-_x)/_root.speed;
_y += (30-_y)/_root.speed;
_root.x3mx;// Makes x3 true(unavailable)
}
}
x1=10 x2=110 x3= 220, are vairables postions along _x.
x1mx, x2mx, x3mx, are vairables to check and see if x1, x2, x3 are taken
I have this code on 3 clips
I hope someone can help me with this.

I have 5 different sections of my scene and each section has a different menu that slides in. When you click on a button to go to another section of the scene, I want it to play that menu sliding down, then the next sections menu sliding up.
I guess you would use an If statement that says if A is true then go play Adown then go to the next section. I tried getting it to work but had no success. I tried telling it when each condition was true then did an if statement but i guess I did it wrong.
So first it has to determine which menu is up at that moment, tell that menu to go to its corresponding menudown, and then go to the section in the gotoplay statement.
Could somebody help me please!

of course now it doesn't. i can't really figure out why...

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=22:Line 3: Syntax error.
3dmovie_mc.gotoAndPlay(13);
all i want is for my button to check if the movie clip is past the first frame and if it is tell it to go to the 13th frame. i'm sure it's something simple i just haven't learned yet or am forgetting.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

But that script isnt working, if you click it when Bio isnt at frame 28 then it plays the animation on frame 29 anyway, and when Bio is on frame 28 then when you click Home it doesnt do anything to Bio
'with' Statements
I am trying to find out if there's any way to list targets to apply a with statement's properties to.
I've tried the following: though only ever the last target in the chain is recognised and have the properties associated with it:
code: with (vert1,vert2,vert3,vert4) {
_y = 12
_height = 360
}
and
with ((vert1) && (vert2) && (vert3) && (vert4)) {
_y = 12
_height = 360
}
and
with ((vert1) || (vert2) || (vert3) || (vert4)) {
_y = 12
_height = 360
}
in cases 1 and 2, 'vert4' gains the y and height properties, whereas in the last instance, vert1 gets them.
i Need ALL of them! :P
Please Help
If Else Statements
I'm making a turn based fighting game, and in this part of the programming, I'm trying to take what ever attack the user selected (attack,defend), and make it affect how much HP is taken away when attacked by the enemy. Here is the code I have, and for some reason, it just dosn't work? -
code:
stop();
hitchance = random(3);
this.enemymc.gotoAndPlay(2);
if (hitchance == 2){
if(defense == 5){
playerhealth = playerhealth - 5;
this.p1bars.healthbar._xscale = playerhealth;
}
else if(defense == 0){
playerhealth = playerhealth - 10;
this.p1bars.healthbar._xscale = playerhealth;
}
}
Now, in the if statements, the defense var. was defined by the user clicking a button and selecting to attack or defend. Here is that code-
code:
on(release){
defense = 0;
this._parent.player.gotoAndPlay(2);
gotoAndStop(7);
hitchance = random(3);
if (hitchance == 1) {
this._parent.enemyhealth = this._parent.enemyhealth - 5;
}
}
Now the defense button-
code:
on(release){
defense = 5;
gotoAndStop(7);
this._parent.player.gotoAndPlay(74);
}
Can someone PLEASE explain why this isn't working, I'm guessing I just don't know how else if statements work... lol...
Thanks in advanced
EDIT: Changed your [ color ] tags to [ as ] tags. - jbum
Can You Have Too Many If/else Statements?
Is it possible, or more importantly UNWISE, to have too many if/else statements?
I am working on a site that is heavily animated and I needed to have a several checks to see if mc_a, mc_b . .. . mc_z. are at certain points on their resepective timelines.
Is there limits to these types of statemetns? Are they CPU hogs?
Thanks for you anyone's 2 cents.
If Statements...
X is set to 1, but this is not working. Why not?
if (x=1) {
_root.MC1.gotoAndPlay("go");
}
Thanks!
Help With If Statements
I have some text fields where the user must fill in their height and weight. Depending on the result i have told flash to play various parts of the movie using if statements.
However i'd like flash to play an 'error checking' section of the movie if any of the text fields have not been filled in by the user.
As im fairly new to actionscripting, how do i tell flash to do this?
Any help much appreciated
If Statements
I'm having trying to get some if statements to work. How do I set it up where I have an if statement, and if that is met, then I have another if/else, but if the first if statement isn't met, I want the mc to go to a specific spot.
I'm working on this mc that follows the mouse (x direction only). If the mouse is between 50 and 706, the other if/else statement needs to run. If the mouse is less than 50, I need the mc to be in one position, and if the mouse is greater than 706, the mc needs to go to a different position.
Any ideas?
p.s. Here's the code that I already have for the mc to follow the mouse. The mc is 100 wide so the -50 is to track to the center of the MC.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mx=_root._xmouse-50;
if (mx<_x) {
dx=_x-mx;
}
else {
dx=mx-_x;
}
moveSpeedx=dx/2;
if (mx<_x) {
_x=_x-moveSpeedx;
}
else {
_x=_x+moveSpeedx;
}
}
Help With If Statements
Im trying to load variables with a true or false value from a text file. If the value is true, I want it to set the alpha properties of certain buttons to 100%. I don't think im coding my if statements properly as regardless of the variable value, it sets them to 100%.
Anyone know a good tutorial that might cover this? Or could show me what the code should look like?
