This shows all the processes (queries) running on the server at the moment you run it. Helpful if the server is running slow to see which queries might be causing the slowness.

show status like ‘qcache%’;

This shows several variables related to your MySQL query cache (see below). Important to note are the following:

• Qcache_free_memory – how much memory you have available for caching
• Qcache_inserts - if this number is larger than your Qcache_hits, it probably means your MySQL acche is not being used properly

//you need to import the VideoEvent (no idea why??)
import fl.video.VideoEvent;

//Add an EventListener – replace ‘myvideo’ with your video instance name and ‘VideoEndAction’ with the function you want to run.
myvideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoEndAction);

function VideoEndAction(evt:VideoEvent):void{
//some action here
}

Of course, replace ‘myvideo’ with the instance name of your video.

var myLis:Object = new Object;
myLis.complete = function(){
flvPlayer.play();
}
flvPlayer.addEventListener(”complete”, myLis);

Just drop that in a frame and make sure the Instance name of your flv is flvPlayer.

Found the code in the macromedia.flash group on Google groups, which also had AS3 code for the same thing (but I did not test it). Enjoy!

1. code for exit popup
2. code for smart exit popup
3. code for smart exit popup javascript

The first result from Gath Adams hits the nail right on the head: Code the perfect Exit Popup

I did notice a syntax error on line 36

alert(’Here is your popup!);

is missing the closing quote – so it should be:

alert(’Here is your popup!’);

Otherwise, his code works great. Thanks Gath (pronounced Garth)!

function gotoPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{

var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(”http://www.sitedesignmagazine.com/”);
navigateToURL(targetURL,’_self’);

}

skip_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoPage);

———————————————–

Replace skip_btn with the instance name of your own button.

NOTE: For some reason WordPress converts my quotes (both single and double) to smart quotes or whatever. You will need to change those when you paste or you’ll get syntax errors.

Here’s some basic, uncommented code that stops the movie, waits 2500ms, then plays the movie again:

stop();

import flash.utils.*;

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(2500);
myTimer.addEventListener(”timer”, timedFunction);

myTimer.start();

function timedFunction(eventArgs:TimerEvent) {
myTimer.stop();
play();
//trace(”Timer fired ” + myTimer.currentCount + ” times.”);
}

Learn more about the Timer class (with some documented code) here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.

Additional note:

If you want to use a stop(); command to stop playback later in the movie, you may need to add:

myTimer.removeEventListener(”timer”, timedFunction);

after your stop(); command. Um, I’m sure that’s because this is not the ideal way to pause a movie for a delay, but whatever… this still works. If someone has a better code sample to submit- please feel free!

var myTweenRotation1:Tween = new Tween(img1_mc, “rotation”, Strong.easeOut, 114, 184, 3, true);

And your movie clip img1_mc will rotate smoothly with easing and everything. As you can probably figure out, changing the “rotation” parameter to some other object property – say ‘”scaleX” and “scaleY” for scaling or “x” and “y” for position – makes this Tween class pretty powerful. I have yet to really explore all the options and parameters, but this Actionscript 3 Tweens Tutorial seems like it might come in handy.

Good luck.

1) Create your masking graphic and apply a gradient fill (I’m assuming you know how to make this masking graphic – if not, you probably need a different tutorial first)

2) Add this line to your main timeline:

cliptomask.mask = maskinggraphic;

About the easing classes

Easing refers to gradual acceleration or deceleration during an animation. For example, a ball might gradually increase its speed near the beginning of an animation, but slow down right at the end of the animation before it arrives at a full stop. Adding easing helps your animations appear more realistic.

Flash offers six easing classes for use with the Tween and TransitionManager classes:

• Back: Extends the animation beyond the transition range at one or both ends at once to resemble an overflow effect.
• Bounce: Adds a bouncing effect within the transition range at one or both ends. The number of bounces relates to the duration—longer durations produce more bounces.
• Elastic: Adds an elastic effect that falls outside the transition range at one or both ends. The amount of elasticity is unaffected by the duration.
• Regular: Adds slower movement at one or both ends. This feature enables you to add a speeding-up effect, a slowing-down effect, or both.
• Strong: Adds slower movement at one or both ends. This effect is similar to Regular easing, but it’s more pronounced.
• None: Adds an equal movement from start to end without effects, slowing, or speeding up. This transition is also referred to as a linear transition.

The previous six easing classes each have three easing methods:

• easeIn: Provides the easing effect at the beginning of the transition.
• easeOut: Provides the easing effect at the end of the transition.
• easeInOut: Provides the easing effect at both the beginning and end of the transition.

Note: The None class contains the easeNone method, as seen in the TransitionManager code example above.

If you want to open these classes in Flash or read the code in your ActionScript editor, you can find the class files in Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\projects\Flash\src\fl\transitions.

See the fl.transitions.easing package section of the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Component Reference for more information on the TransitionManager class.

One of the big things I noticed was that you no longer have actions assigned to buttons or movie clips. Everything is in one place. This is cool ’cause you don’t have to go poking around everywhere to find out where the code is, but it’s different since now everything has to reference something else. This referencing is not always simple as far as I’m concerned, and the errors that you get aren’t always helpful.

I’ll provide some samples in future posts, but for now, here is a link to the Actionscript 2.0 migration document.
