[Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 Coding Niggles
Hey guys,
Having problems on the coding side of what I thought would be a very simple
task.
The task is:
I am creating a navigation bar for a website. On the navigation bar, when
the user does a mouse over on a certain area of the bar (invisible button),
a specified movie will play once and will not play again unless the user
does a mouse over again. When the user clicks on the invisible button, it
will perform the action of a link and direct the user to another page.
In a bit more detail:
In flash I have created a document (actionscript 3.0). On the document for
this example, there is a piece of text called labelled 'home'. This text has
been converted into a movieclip labelled home_mc. Inside the movie clip
there are 7 frames. Frame1 = home font size20 | Frame2 = home font size21 |
Frame3 = home font size22 | Frame 4 = home font size23 | Frame 5 = home font
size 22 | Frame6 = home font size21 | Frame7 = home font size20. As you can
probably tell, I am trying to make a growing text effect in flash.
Coming out of the movieclip to Scene 1 I have created another layer called
invivisible button1. This has then been converted to a button called
home_btn and made 'invisible'.
What I have been trying to do with actionscript is make the movieclip
home_mc play once when there is a mouse over event with home_btn (invisible
button), but with all the code I have tried so far nothing has really worked
and when I test the movie, the movieclip home_mc is just constantly playing
and looping back on itself.
The latest code I have tried is:
**Start code**
var home_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip ();
//home_mc = someClip you embedded;
text_mc.name = myButton;
home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver);
home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOut);
//adds event listeners
funtion mouseOver (event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace (event.currentTarget.name + mouse over);
// the trace event is asking for the name property (which is like a
method) we set that property above.
//otherwise tracing event.currentTarget just tells us the type of object
we are dealing with = MovieClip
event.currentTarget.play();
//this function can be used on ANY subject that has an event handler -
addEventListener
}
funtion mouseOut (event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace (event.currentTarget.name + mouse out);
event.currentTarget.gotoandstop(1);
}
**end code**
I have had some vague help previously and have read and looked at
tutorials/books but still don't quite get this. I am after all trying to
learn a new programming language without any previous experience with
programming languages.
Any help with this hopefully simple problem would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Ali Hitch

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 Coding Niggles

Re: [Flashcoders] Lint for ActionScript?
flex develop has a bit more of the 'you did something wrong' warnings before compiling. But frankly, I find it just plain annoying. I love hitting ctrl-s every few seconds, and after each hit flexdev will check and find new errors of unfinished code lines.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 Coding Niggles
just put a stop() on the last frame (when the text is big)

Re: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes
One way to do it is to look for the child elements which id is *not* b. Then replace the original child elements with the new ones, or in other words, set the remaining elements as the children of the parent: var s:String = 'parentchild id=a /child id=b /child id=a /child id=b //parent'; var xml:XML = new XML(s); trace(before: , xml.toXMLString()); trace(--); var elements:XMLList = xml.child.(@id != b); trace(elements: , elements.toXMLString()); trace(--); xml.setChildren(elements); trace(after: , xml.toXMLString()); //output: before: parent child id=a/ child id=b/ child id=a/ child id=b/ /parent -- elements: child id=a/ child id=a/ -- after: parent child id=a/ child id=a/ /parent regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Joel Stransky j...@stranskydesign.com To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 4:38 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes I have some xml nodes where I need to evaluate their attributes and delete them if they meet certain criteria.
