I'm having troubles with getting my textfield to fade from alpha 0 to alpha 1 with Tweener.
Everything else works fine, so I suspect it has something to do with applying my textformats on the textfield?
This is my code
private function swapText(e:Event):void {
applyTextFormats();
addChild(_textContainer);
var textfromx:int = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].textfromx;
var textfromy:int = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].textfromy;
var textendx:int = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].textendx;
var textendy:int = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].textendy;
_textTimer.stop();
var texteffectDuration:uint = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].texteffectduration;
var texteffectType:int = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].texteffecttype;
_effectDelay = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].effectdelay;
if(texteffectType == 1) {
_textContainer.x = textfromx;
_textContainer.y = textfromy;
Tweener.addTween(_textContainer, { x:textendx, y:textendy, time:texteffectDuration, onComplete:function() { _slideTimer.start(); } } );
}
else {
_textContainer.alpha = 0;
_textContainer.x = textendx;
_textContainer.y = textendy;
Tweener.addTween(_textContainer, { alpha:1, time:texteffectDuration, onComplete:function() { _slideTimer.start(); } } );
}
}
private function applyTextFormats():void {
_textContainer.text = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].imgtext;
_textContainer.width = _imgWidth;
_textContainer.height = 40;
_formatsText.size = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].fontsize;
_formatsText.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
_formatsText.color = _xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].fontcolor;
_formatsText.font = _xmlData.#fontface;
if (_xmlData.image[_currentActiveSlide].fontbold == 1) {
_formatsText.bold = true;
}
else { _formatsText.bold = false; }
_textContainer.setTextFormat(_formatsText);
}
make sure you are embeding the fonts properly and to set textField.embedFont=true.

The way I've done the run in my game is it detects you clicked the run button which is a Movieclip, then it set the increased walkspeeds. If you lift your finger, or move it off the button, it reverts it back the default walkspeed is.
So, the problem is the run button only works when pressed prior to the directional DPAD.
How do I fix this?

EDIT:
Here's how I have done movement:
There is a movieclip thats binded to the coordinates of the player. This is what animations set their x and y coordinates to.
If a player starts moving, then an inMotion variable becomes true, and this means the player is moving.
A variable of the direction the player is going in also will change (if he's moving left goingLeft = true)
If the player hits something, or lets go of a direction on the DPAD, then inMotion is false.
This is done so that animations can be added to the stage at appropriate times, and be animated at appropriate times.
For example:
I press left DPAD
inMotion = true, goingLeft = true
If the left animation is not on the stage, add it to the stage.
left animation detects variables are responds to them accordingly:
inMotion && goingLeft
move left direction
!inMotion && !goingLeft
were idle then, do not animate
inMotion && !goingLeft
were moving in another direction, remove the animation
I press right DPAD
follows the same cycle mentioned above
This ensures the right animation is played at the correc times, and this code probably is longer than
it needs to be, but this is honestly shows the limits to what I know in code.
As soon as you see 2 blocks of code that look similar, know that code is bad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplicate_code. The formula less code = better is always right.
Empty blocks of code reduce readability:
// Bad.
if (condition)
{
}
else
{
// some code
}
// Good.
if (!condition)
{
// some code
}
You can also stack several conditions into one if case with logical and && and logical or || unless it becomes unreadable:
// Bad.
if (conditiona)
{
if (conditionb)
{
if (conditionc)
{
}
else
{
// some code
}
}
}
// Better.
if (conditiona && conditionb && !conditionc)
{
// some code
}
If your aim is to assign a single variable, instead of barrage of ifs you can use a ternar operator. Again, unless readability drops:
var foo:*;
// Block of ifs.
if (conditiona)
{
foo = 1;
}
else if (conditionb)
{
foo = 2;
}
// Ternar assignment.
var foo:* = conditiona? 1: conditionb? 2: foo;
// Ternar assignment in a more readable form.
var foo:* = conditiona? 1: (conditionb? 2: foo);
So, your code with all of above applied:
function setDirection(tox:Number, toy:Number):void
{
Game.goingUp = (toy < 0);
Game.goingDown = (toy > 0);
Game.goingLeft = (tox < 0);
Game.goingRight = (tox > 0);
main._Direction.y = Game.goingUp ? Game.upWalkspeed : Game.goingDown ? Game.downWalkspeed : 0;
main._Direction.x = Game.goingLeft? Game.leftWalkspeed: Game.goingRight? Game.rightWalkspeed: 0;
}
function onDown(e:TouchEvent):void
{
if (Game.player1 && !P1UAnim_mc)
{
var P1UAnim_mc:MovieClip = new mc_P1UAnim();
addChild(P1UAnim_mc);
}
if (Game.player2 && !P2UAnim_mc)
{
var P2UAnim_mc:MovieClip = new mc_P2UAnim();
addChild(P2UAnim_mc);
}
switch (e.currentTarget)
{
case main.up_dpad :
setDirection(0,-1);
break;
case main.down_dpad :
setDirection(0,1);
break;
case main.left_dpad :
setDirection(-1,0);
break;
case main.right_dpad :
setDirection(1,0);
break;
}
if (!Game.inMotion)
{
Game.inMotion = true;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
}
}
You can additionally spare yourself of programming UI layout by designing UI in Flash IDE (Animate or CS6 or whichever you have there). You design MovieClip in Library so that it has all interfaces you need in right places. All UI elements you need to have assess to must be given instance names. Then you create a class for this MovieClip:
package
{
public class Layout extends MovieClip
{
// Left, Right, Up and Down are instance names of the objects
// in your designed MovieClip. Their accessors must be public.
// Also you should understand what classes they should be:
// SimpleButton for button object, TextField or TLFTextField
// for texts, MovieClip or Sprite for containers.
public var Left :SimpleButton;
public var Right:SimpleButton;
public var Up :SimpleButton;
public var Down :SimpleButton;
// Then if you set everything right you can access then
// in the class constructor with no need to create them
// or set them up as they are already in their places by design.
function Layout()
{
super();
Left.addEventListener(...);
}
}
}

Hope it helps.
Your match() function is inside the onGuessButtonClick_2(MouseEvent) function.
So when you try it from anywhere else that is not the inside of the onGuessButtonClick_2 function, flash gets confused because it cannot find the function match() because it is only callable inside the onGuessButtonClick_2() function.
1180 errors are caused by Flash being dead.
1180 Error: Flash is Dead, please convert your code to HTML5 or do it natively.

Sorry if this question is a bit vague, but this has been driving me nuts recently. It's nothing too complicated, but all I want to do is have the variable 'targetVariable' be affected by a formula. The actual problem lies in the fact that the referenced variable, being 'masterVolume' in this case, is not getting affected by the formula, but rather 'targetVariable' instead. I run the 'makeSlider' function at the bottom of the script. Here's the code:
var masterVolume:Number = 0;
var panning:Number = 0;
function makeSlider(sliderType, X, Y, targetVariable) {
var sliderHandle:MovieClip = new sliderType();
addChild(sliderHandle);
sliderHandle.x = X;
sliderHandle.y = Y;
var dragging:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSlider);
function updateSlider(e:Event):void {
panning = (mouseX/(stage.stageWidth/2))-1;
targetVariable = ((sliderHandle.x-bar.x)/bar.width);
output.text = masterVolume.toString();
if (dragging == true && mouseX >= bar.x && mouseX <= (bar.x + bar.width)) {
sliderHandle.x = mouseX;
}
}
sliderHandle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag);
function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
dragging = true;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
function endDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
dragging = false;
}
}
function playSound(target, intensity:Number, pan:Number) {
var sound:Sound = new target();
var transformer:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(intensity, pan);
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
channel=sound.play();
channel.soundTransform = transformer;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, make);
function make(e:MouseEvent):void {
playSound(test, masterVolume, panning);
}
makeSlider(SliderHandle, bar.x, bar.y, masterVolume);
Okay, so I studied the Object class and found out that I could reference the variable by making it an object in the function. Here's the updated, working script:
var panning:Number = 0;
var masterVolume:Number = 0;
function makeSlider(sliderType, barType, soundType, hitBoxScale:Number, X, Y, targetVariable) {
var reference:Object = { targetVariable: 0 };
var slider:MovieClip = new sliderType;
var newBar:MovieClip = new barType;
addChild(newBar);
newBar.x = X;
newBar.y = Y;
addChild(slider);
slider.x = X;
slider.y = Y;
var dragging:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSlider);
function updateSlider(e:Event):void {
panning = (mouseX/(stage.stageWidth/2))-1;
reference.targetVariable = (slider.x-newBar.x)/newBar.width;
if (dragging == true && mouseX >= newBar.x && mouseX <= (newBar.x + newBar.width)) {
slider.x = mouseX;
}
if (reference.targetVariable <= 0.01) {
output.text = ("None");
}
if (reference.targetVariable >= 0.99) {
output.text = ("Max");
}
if (reference.targetVariable > 0.01 && reference.targetVariable < 0.99) {
output.text = (Math.round((reference.targetVariable*100))+"%").toString();
}
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag);
function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (mouseY >= newBar.y-hitBoxScale && mouseY <= (newBar.y + newBar.height)+hitBoxScale) {
dragging = true;
}
}
slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDragFromSlider);
function beginDragFromSlider(e:MouseEvent):void {
dragging = true;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
function endDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (dragging == true) {
playSound(soundType, reference.targetVariable, 0);
}
dragging = false;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, make);
function make(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (dragging == false) {
playSound(test, reference.targetVariable, panning);
}
}
}
function playSound(target, intensity:Number, pan:Number) {
var sound:Sound = new target();
var transformer:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(intensity, pan);
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
channel=sound.play();
channel.soundTransform = transformer;
}
makeSlider(defaultSlider, defaultBar, volumeIndicator, 10, 134, 211, masterVolume);
this follows on from my last question which I thought was answered but for some reason when I treat a child of my stage (display object) as a movieclip I can't then apply the usual functions that I want to:
var mc1:MovieClip = this.getChildByName("mc1") as MovieClip;
if(mc1) {
mc1.useHandCursor = true;
mc1.buttonMode = true;
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fillDriveway);
}
Any wisdom would greatly appreciated... and sorry for asking such a similar question as previous...
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the movieclip is placed on stage or actually converted to movieclip?
Try stage.getChildByName(). Where did you place this code? Inside a frame or inside a main document class? To be sure you can check the childs are added on stage and see what their names are.
You can use this code
for ( var i :int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++ )
{
babe = this.getChildAt( i );
if ( babe is MovieClip) {
trace( babe.name);
}
}
I've also seen this, not sure if it works.
if (stage.contains(mc1)) {
}
Wahoo! Figured it out!
By popping
var mc1:MovieClip = this.getChildByName("mc1") as MovieClip;
at the end of my AS I was referring to the child "mc1" before it existed - it isn't created until the user clicks somewhere on the "pic" movieclip. So the solution was to bung my actions for "mc1" (including declaring it as a MovieClip) into a separate function:
function createstartEndMC():void {
var startEnd:MovieClip = (this.getChildByName("mc1")) as MovieClip;
startEnd.useHandCursor = true;
startEnd.buttonMode = true;
startEnd.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fillDriveway);
}
and then to call this function AFTER "mc1" child is created:
function addNewPoint(e:MouseEvent):void {
n++;
pointNo.text = String(n);
if(n==1){
var nextPoint:MovieClip = new mcstart();
addChild(nextPoint);
nextPoint.name = "mc"+pointNo.text;
nextPoint.x = e.target.mouseX;
nextPoint.y = e.target.mouseY;
createstartEndMC();
}
Finally it works and "mc1" (or "startEnd" as I call it once it's created and made into an MC) finally behaves as a normal timeline MC should!
I'm so happy - thanks for all your guidance!

I'm trying to dynamically stack images that are being pulled in via an xml file. Below is what I'm doing, and it almost works. The problem is that it only seems to fire off the event complete function on the very last one, instead of going for all of them. Is there a way to make it run the even.complete function for each image?
function aboutfileLoaded(event:Event):void {
aboutXML = new XML(aboutTextLoader.data);
for(var l:int = 0; l < aboutXML.aboutimages.image.length(); l++)
{
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageSource = aboutXML.aboutimages.image[l];
if (imageSource != "") {
this.imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, aboutimageLoaded);
this.imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(imageSource));
//aboutBox.aboutContent.addChild(imageLoader);
//imageLoader.y = imageYpos;
//imageYpos = imageYpos + 50;
}
}
}
function aboutimageLoaded(event:Event):void {
aboutBox.aboutContent.addChild(imageLoader);
this.imageLoader.y = imageYpos;
imageYpos = imageYpos + this.imageLoader.height;
}
I use a simple Image class I wrote for loading all images.
public function loadImages(xml:XML):void {
for each(var img:XML in xml.images) {
var i:Image = new Image(img.src, img.width, img.height);
i.loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, positionImage);
}
}
/**/
private function positionImage(e:Event):void {
var i:Image = e.target;
gallery.addChild(i);
// Do the positioning.
}
In your code above, you could always just change your aboutimageLoaded function:
// In aboutfileLoaded() change all "this.imageLoader" to just "imageLoader"
function aboutimageLoader(event:Event):void {
aboutBox.aboutContent.addChild(event.target);
event.target.y = imageYpos;
}
each Loader can only deal with one job at a time, so either you want to stack the jobs to load one after another:
//Global vars
loadIndex:int = 0;
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, aboutimageLoaded);
loadImage();
private function loadimage(){
if(aboutXML.aboutimages.image[loadIndex] != null){
imageSource = aboutXML.aboutimages.image[loadIndex];
if (imageSource != "") {
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(imageSource));
}
}
}
function aboutimageLoaded(event:Event):void {
var holder = (ev.content as Bitmap).clone();
aboutBox.aboutContent.addChild(holder);
holder .y = imageYpos;
imageYpos = imageYpos + holder.height;
loadIndex ++;
loadimage();
}
or make multiple instances of Loaders, one for each:
for(var l:int = 0; l < aboutXML.aboutimages.image.length(); l++)
{
var imageLoaderTemp = new Loader();
imageSource = aboutXML.aboutimages.image[l];
if (imageSource != "") {
imageLoaderTemp.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, aboutimageLoaded);
imageLoaderTemp.load(new URLRequest(imageSource));
}
}
}
function aboutimageLoaded(event:Event):void {
aboutBox.aboutContent.addChild(event.target);
event.target.y = imageYpos;
imageYpos = imageYpos + event.target.height;
}
