Re: OT THANK YOU: Re: [Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence
Fuse, the animation engine from mosessupposes.com has a build-in Sequence class. I't easy to add commands to this sequence like method calls. You might want to look into it.

If your functions are motion-based, have a look at Fuse. It's a set
of Tween classes that lets you execute a lot of tweens in sequence. 2
can fire off when 1 finished if you want. You can tween position,
alpha, rotation and many more.
http://www.mosessupposes.com/fuse/
Sample code from Moses website:
var f = new Fuse(
{ start_alpha:0, start_x:150, start_y:10, ease:'easeOutQuint',
seconds:1 },
{ scale:200, x:'200', tint:0x123456, tintPercent:75 },
{ rotation:'-50', scale:0, ease:'easeOutBounce', seconds:1.5 } //
counter-clockwise rotation
);
f.target = box_mc;
f.start(true); // passing true sets all start-props before running
the sequence.

Trying to cut down on hundreds of lines of repeated code with
functions, but I have a real newbie question:
What is the best way to get functions to fire in sequence.

[Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence
Trying to cut down on hundreds of lines of repeated code with functions, but I have a real newbie question: What is the best way to get functions to fire in sequence. (have function 1 wait until function 2 is finished etc.) Right now the functions below all fire at the same time. function1 () function2 () function3() Thanks, --dan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence
function1() {
function2();
}
function2() {
function3();
}
You could also use onEnterFrame to conditionally check for flags
indicating the progress of execution:
var f1Fired = false;
var f2Fired = false;
var f3Fired = false;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (f1Fired) {
trace(f1Fired);
function2();
} else if (f2Fired) {
trace(f2Fired);
function3();
} else if (f3Fired) {
trace(f3Fired);
} else {
function1();
}
}
function1() {
f1Fired = true;
}
function2() {
f2Fired = true;
}
function3() {
f3Fired = true;
}
Or setInterval could be employed, but it sounds like you need
sequential executions of your functions, in which case setInterval is
inappropriate.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence
Thanks! I can tell right away that functions are going to save me a ton
of troubleshooting!
Do you know if they speed up player performance as well?

RE: [Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence
Nooo, don't start thinking functions are slow. They're just slower than inline code. Functions are the first step in making more reusable code, use liberally! :O) Ade -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dls Sent: 28 January 2006 22:20 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence That's a drag!

Re: [Flashcoders] How to call functions in sequence
Yes, don't think in terms of avoiding functions. If something needs to be repeated, it's a candidate for a function. Performance is important for a game, but if an app's object-orientated design makes it a millisecond slower than procedural (inline) code, that's acceptable if you get the benefits of reusable code (more functions). Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
