adding and removing Enterframe handler on runtime

on initialize call :addEnterFrameCatcher()

removeEnterFrameCatcher() to stop enterframe actions on runtime

relistenEnterFrameCatcher() to resume enterframe actions on runtime

 

private var enterFrameCatcher:MovieClip;
private function enterFrameHandler(param1:Event) : void
{
// enterframe script
}
private function addEnterFrameCatcher(): void
{
    enterFrameCatcher = new MovieClip();
    if (enterFrameCatcher)
    {
       enterFrameCatcher.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
    }
}
private function removeEnterFrameCatcher() : void
{
    if (enterFrameCatcher && enterFrameCatcher.hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME))
    {
 enterFrameCatcher.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
    }
    return;
}
private function relistenEnterFrameCatcher() : void
{
   if (enterFrameCatcher && !enterFrameCatcher.hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME))
   {
 enterFrameCatcher.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
    }
}

access MovieClips Recursively

access MovieClips inside layers Recursively, the below is example to stop all movieclips recursively

private function stopMCRecursively(mc:MovieClip) : void
{
    var ind:uint;
    if (!mc)
    {
 return;
    }
    if (mc != this)
    {
 mc.stop();
    }
    ind = 0;
    while (ind++ < mc.numChildren)
    {
 if (mc.getChildAt(ind) is MovieClip)
 {
     stopMCRecursively(mc.getChildAt(ind) as MovieClip);
 }
    }
    return;
}

F3 Player

Hi, Click to have a look on MP3 player, i have created using AS3.0 with source code

Flexible MXML Editor

click here for AIR version of Flexible, for editing and modifying the MXML. Alternative for Flex Builder. This works as MXML Parser. I have plans to create SWF instead of mxml (on runtime).

Restart your flex Application

navigateToURL(new URLRequest(Application.application.url), ‘_self’);

Flex Error

Check MP3 capabilities of user system using
flash.system.Capabilities.hasMP3         Other wise you will be getting
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I was stuck because of that (my audio driver was not installed)

Applying Dynamic Properties for controls

Instead of using AS3 dynamic Class for assigning dynamic properties to the DisplayObject, the below line is best alternative:

DisplayObject['property']= value

Using this i am working on mxml parser, planning for swf generator from AIR

eval in AS3

To do this, you need to include the keyword “dynamic” as part of your class declaration, e.g., public dynamic class Foo. Then to make the call, just say:

var functionName:String = “foo” + bar;
if (this.hasOwnProperty(functionName))
this[functionName]();

SWF Loader (Flash CS3)

click here to see the code for loading anykind of swf files inside swf generated using Flash CS3, with Seamless effort. This example AS loads ‘1.swf’ to ‘8.swf’. For which u can control with buttons prev_btn, next_btn to navigate among them. swfLoader_mc is the movieclip used to load them. preloader_mc with loadbar_mc and myText(txt) shows the loading.
