Ray — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:24:35 +0000

A new code snipped of how to use a hyperlink text event, aka fire a function with a html hyperlink:

// create textfield
var testTxt6:TextField = new TextField();  
testTxt6.x = 100;        
testTxt6.y = 220;
testTxt6.autoSize = "left";
testTxt6.name = 'contentTxt';
testTxt6.border = true;
testTxt6 = testTxt6;
 
// use the href event: link
testTxt6.htmlText = 'kickMe';
myStage.addChild(testTxt6);
 
// create a listener
testTxt6.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, onHyperLinkEvent);
 
 
function onHyperLinkEvent(e:TextEvent):void {
 if (e.text == "kickMe"){
  trace("hey that hurts");
 }else{
trace("ty your nice");
 }
}

Alternative for Key.isDown() in actionscript 3.0

Ray — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:42:39 +0000

As 3.0 can be a pain sometimes if your used to as 2.0. Just like the case when you wanna use the easy Key.isDown function from the old actionscript 2.0

Here’s a little script to get the key.IsDown() effect with actionscript 3.0:

// create keyboard listeners
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyReleased);
 
// create an object to check witch key is down
var keyIsDown:Object;
keyIsDown = new Object();
 
function keyPressed(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
    //I wanna check for the a and the ctr key / keyCodes: ctrl = 17, a = 65
    keyIsDown[e.keyCode] = true;
    if (keyIsDown[17]==true && keyIsDown[65]==true){
        trace('Acces granted');
   }
}
 
function keyReleased(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
    keyIsDown[e.keyCode] = false;
}

Loop trough globals $_POST & $_GET

This are some script snippets for fast replacement POST or GET to normal values. It’ll saves the time of converting them by hand.

// change all the POST vars
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { // loop trough all post vars
        ${$key}=$value; //make $var = value from $_POST['var'] = value
        echo $key."=".$$key."
"; // display the list of varables from post
 }
 
// same as the above post only then with get
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
        ${$key}=$value; 
        echo $key."=".$$key."
";
 }

Timer Event Function

A simple example of a timer event function in actionscript 3.0

// if your not working from the timeline you should also use these imports. 
// if your as is on the timeline you can skip it
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
 
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1500, 1); // 1.5 second & repeates only 1 time
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, myaction);
myTimer.start();
 
function myaction(event:TimerEvent):void {
	trace("myaction() traces this msg @ " + getTimer() + " ms");
}
