How many characters in my text Field - In my scrollingText

bmcc81 — Thu, 08 May 2008 13:16:40 -0700

Im trying to learn out how to find how many characters are in a text field and then make an if statement out of it.

I looked up TextField.textWidth and its says indicates the width of the text.
Well Im not sure if thats what I want.

Basically I want to use it for finding out how many characters in my text field so that I can stop a scrolling text.

CODE:

function resetPosition() {
if (trackInfo._width>=15) {
if (_root.firstload == true) {
trackInfo._x = 50;
_root.firstload = false;
}
} else {
trackInfo._x = 112-(trackInfo._width/2);
}
}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.trackInfo._width>=15) {
if ((this.trackInfo._x+this.trackInfo._width)<0) {
this.trackInfo._x = 145;
} else {
this.trackInfo._x--;
}
}
};

What would be the right way of going about finding out how many characters in the textField?
Thanks]]>

myList.selectedIndex = 0;
myPlayer.play(""+myList.selectedItem.data);
} else {
trace("if = else");
myList.selectedIndex = (ds+1);
myPlayer.play(""+myList.selectedItem.data);
}

How do I make it Play Again & Again & Again & Again

bmcc81 — Thu, 08 May 2008 07:21:53 -0700

What happens is the Function Do Random goes through the slideTo content_mc["section_"+i]._x; that moves along the _X axis

but once it gets to the end the It says

CODE:

if(i==6) var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);

I just wanna make this thing start over and play again & again & again.

CODE:

var i:Number = 1;

function DoRandom() {
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x;
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 );
i++;

if(i==6) var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
}

var intervalID = setInterval(DoRandom, 4000);

Much appreciated for any help,]]>

I wanna make this code better

bmcc81 — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:33:42 -0700

I just wrote this and it seems a little long. As if you could make it shorter. Anywayif anyone can help shorten this code, Id like to learn.

CODE:

var i:Number = 1;

function DoRandom() {
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x;
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 );
i++;
if(i==6) clearInterval(intervalID);
if(i==6) var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
if(i==1) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_0, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
if(i==2) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_0, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 50, 1, true);
if(i==2) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_1, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
if(i==3) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_1, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 50, 1, true);
if(i==3) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_2, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
if(i==4) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_3, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
if(i==4) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_2, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 50, 1, true);
if(i==5) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_4, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
if(i==5) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_3, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 50, 1, true);
if(i==6) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_4, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 50, 1, true);
if(i==6) var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_0, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
}

Fairly Basic (I think) ActionScript help

swanniebroo — Tue, 06 May 2008 05:01:10 -0700

I was wondering if any of you guys new an ActionScript code, something like the flash document attached. I want to make a timetable for school, and when i hover over each subject it tells me the Name of my teacher, what classroom im in, when my next assignment is due, etc etc. So yeah, if anybody can help, would be GREATLY appreciated.

EDIT: I cant attach stuff, so here is a link.
http://www.touchspin.com/chem/SWFs/pt2k61012.swf
This sort of thing would be GREAT, but even if it was like one of those hover pop-ups if you know what i mean. I just appears when you hover, and is gone when you dont hover.

Once Again,
THANKS]]>

Script crashes IDE and Flash Player but works in browsers

activa — Thu, 01 May 2008 12:20:44 -0700

Heres the code that crashes:

CODE:

// INITIALIZE LOADER AND ADD TO STAGE
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, isLoaded);
// DUPLICATE CLIP WHEN LOADED
function isLoaded (event:Event):void {
event.target.content.width = 100;
event.target.content.height= 200;
// THIS IS THE LINE THAT CRASHES
var copyClass:Class = Object(event.target.content).constructor;
var newThing:DisplayObject = new (copyClass);
addChild (newThing);
newThing.x +=50;
}
myLoader.load (new URLRequest(coloring/coloring1.swf));
