Illustratedlife and deadlock32... your right! I bought it this evening and it has helped a ton. Much easier to read than Moock's book. Peter's book admittedly leaves alot out, but it gets you over...

Yeah, I almost bought it last week at Borders. Thanks for the recommend, Ill snag it.

Thanks for the info on the book. Ill have to check it out... and soon.

Awesome! I really appreciate your help. You have remove a huge amount of frustration on my part... hopefully Ill make some big steps quickly here.

Can you post your code for me to view? Thanks!

I am not familiar with that book. Recently, I bought Essential Actionscript 3.0 by Colin Moock and published by O'Reilly. It has a ton of information, but I am slightly frustrated and wishing it had...

Followed your advice but still having issues. No errors show up, but nothing is drawn on the canvas. Documented here:

Hi,

Sorry to be asking instead of answering questions, at one time.... ala the days of Actionscript 1, I was a master of all that lay before me. I have finally come to grips with the fact that I...

Thanks, that was exactly the problem!

Apparently, the scope of my clearInterval was incorrect I made sure that it was targeted to _root and everything works now! Answered my own question!

This version also creates an infinite loop, and clearInterval fails.


function timer(a, b) {
var intervalID = setInterval(a,b);
}

Hi folks,

I seem to be creating a loop with setInterval, even though I am using clearInterval. The deck MC and btnQuit MC appear repetitively. I see this same problem quite a few times in the...

How about _level0 instead of _root?

Thanks! I knew I used it in the past, but could not remember.

Ive never this written this way:

newclip._x = newclip._y = 120

Is that correct or should it be:

newclip._x = 120;
newclip._y = 120;

According to Colin Moock's Actionscript for Flash MX:

This is why it will not work when loaded in.

Try this instead:


on (release) {
newFrame = _root.currentframe + 1;...

In actionscript what command do I use to find out if a division operation results in a remainder?

ex:

result = (numItems/3)
if( result == WHOLE INTEGER ){ //decimal values ignored
do this;
}

Jbum, thanks for your quick reply. However, that does not change anything. numCircles still returns a Nan. Any other ideas?

Ill restate the function:


function makeJumpCircle(){
numCircles =...

I am running into a problem where I am getting a variable equal to NaN. How can I convert a string to an int.

This is from the db:

&num_entries=4&name_1=test......... etc. etc.

When I debug...

Thanks Jbum!

That got the first part of the data displaying. The rest still is not. Here is the code that is creating the htmlText:



function makeText(a){
if(a == 4){
for(i=1; i<=13;...

I can really use your help.

Simple question, is the following valid htmlText, or do I need a <P> tag?
