[Flashcoders] Shared Objects -- help with troubleshooting,please!
I don't seem to be doing something correct. I am trying to set a Flash equivalent of a cookie then check for it. In my 1st movie: myNameStatus = (normal); myTutorialStatusSO = SharedObject.getLocal(tutorialStatus ); myTutorialStatusSO.data.thingIsave = myNameStatus; myTutorialStatusSO.flush(); In my 2nd movie (trying to read it now) //retrieve the shared objects... myTutorialStatusSO = SharedObject.getLocal(tutorialStatus); //give the results a name we can use... my01_01_01MapStatus = myTutorialStatusSO.data.thingIsave; My expectation is that my01_01_01MapStatus would equal normal. Instead when I view the variables I seem to have nothing...

[Flashcoders] OT- Flash Designer/Developer Needed Freelance
Hello All, I am looking for someone to help me with ongoing small animation/coding tasks in Flash. There would be a rather steady stream of work for the next month or so... Particularly I am hunting for someone who is very good (and quick) at producing nice motion graphics in Flash, I would like to pay a flat rate for each individual job, but that fee would be based on an estimate of around $30/hr. You must be located in the U.S. (Sorry, it's just too complicated tax-wise to work internationally now). I know this isn't thegravy train but I'm working with a client with rather shallow pockets, as I get work that pays more the $30 mentioned above could certainly go up. Please respond off-list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks!

[Flashcoders] if not working. (urgent help again?)
Don't know what's up, but the following if statement doesn't work...
both variables trace to be 5.
both values were loaded from an xml document and assigned variable names.
if(_root.c7parent == _root.c3id){
//do something
}
oddly, if I use the following code it works!!??? could this be some sort
of data type problem?
if(_root.c7parent != _root.c3id){
//do something
}
Thanks in advance

working with numbers loaded from XML was [Flashcoders] if not working. (urgent help again?)
I am really stumped and desperate here!
seem to be having trouble working with variables brought in from XML
the value of the variables are numeric.
when I reference them in code for comparison, they don't seem to work
example
_root.first traces to show 5
_root.second traces to show 5
if (_root.first != _root.second) {
do something
};
should fail, but seems to behave as if true
I'm thinking it's a problem with referencing the xml object instead of a
numerical value, but I'm at my wits end here.

Re: working with numbers loaded from XML was [Flashcoders] if not working. (urgent help again?)
Rob,
First, Thanks for your help!
I haven't used parseInt before, I'll start hunting for info on it right
away.
Anything you could share would be appreciated!
When I publish and use List Variables in the Debug menu the variables
brought in from xml show up as objects, not values.
my use of the XML object is shown below.
Please forgive my ignorance,
--dan
var myXML = new XML();
myXML.onLoad = processXML;
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load(school_list.xml);
function processXML(success) {
if (success == true) {
_root.first =
myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.second =
myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.gotoAndPlay(map);
}
}
stop();
It is hard to see how they are brought in from XML in your code extract.
Have you run the text through parseInt to convert them from strings to
numbers?

Re: working with numbers loaded from XML was [Flashcoders] if not working. (urgent help again?)
Would this be a correct use of parseInt? parseInt (_root.first) would parseXML parse all of the XML at one time? --dan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: working with numbers loaded from XML was [Flashcoders] if notworking. (urgent help again?)
Thank You, Everyone--- WORKING LIKE A CHARM! Now get away from your computers and go have a great Saturday! Would this be a correct use of parseInt? parseInt (_root.first) Yes, but it's usually a best idea to pass the number base as a parameter - in this case, 10 for decimal var xx = parseInt (_root.first, 10); If you don't, it will still work, but if you have some number with trailing zeros like 071 on the string it'll think they're octal numbers (on this example, converting it to 57 instead of yhe expected 71). - zeh ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] clearing variables from memory after use...
Might be counting angels on a pin head here, but: if I set alot ( think hundreds) of _global variables such as: _global.state1 = Wisconsin; I assume they slow the performance of my player. Is there a way to clear them after use? (or more specifically, the ones I don't need -- I could figure out how to specify that in the code) Thanks for putting up with my ignorance... --dan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] clearing variables from memory after use...
Thanks Roman! I will make it a practice to start dumping the variables after I don't need them! --dan Roman Blöth wrote: dls schrieb: Might be counting angels on a pin head here, but: if I set alot ( think hundreds) of _global variables such as: _global.state1 = Wisconsin; I assume they slow the performance of my player. Is there a way to clear them after use? (or more specifically, the ones I don't need -- I could figure out how to specify that in the code) Oh my, this really is a matter in Flash... Since we have often experienced variable's values not being cleared after use, we do the following: my_var = null; // This first step probably is useless, but ALWAYS use DELETE! delete my_var; If the value contained within the variable is a movieclip, then make sure that this mc has an onUnload-handler that does the above with all variables and to avoid instances from floating in memory after having deleted, unloaded and removed them, if possible don't use static values! I have made the experience that static instances stay in memory after there is no reference to them left, since I set them all to null and then deleted them. Then, when I re-create an instance of such static stuff, it isn't created anew, but Flash uses the old piece that rests in memory. Maybe it's just that I don't really, really understand the concept of static, but I know it can lead to unpredictable and hard-to-track errors.

[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
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?
--dan
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.
