Alright, thanks. Life goes on. :P

If there isn't such a code (which I doubt), life goes on, I get over it. :)

I've been looking for a code in JavaScript that will close a window that isn't a pop-up. I hadn't found any that worked, so I'm not sure if it's Firefox, but I want to make sure that the code works on all browsers.

I checked Google for ... a long time, looking for the right code, and I got nothing. The trouble that I was having was that the JavaScript code "close window"

(

javascript:self.close();

)

was not working for me. I found out that the reason was that the window I had open was not a pop-up. So, after more searching, and no results, I came here.

Basically, all I need is a code that will close a window that isn't a pop-up. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Not really ... It just fucking scared me.

Agreed. Sweet. :]

I got one from Newgrounds, but I think it's a bad omen.

This whole thread is a conspiracy! Tom Fulp doesn't give handshakes! He only high fives.

Actually, yes they did. The normal Flash 08/09 textbox would not automatically auto-kern. I didn't realize this was the problem until I actually went over everything in your "fixed" file. The problem is that Flash 10 auto-auto-kerns, while Flash 08 and 09 DO NOT.

No need to be an asshole. :)

You still have to assign your textfield an instance name, and measure the text property of it, rather than assume the variable is going to cover it.

Here. Fixed.

Thank you very much. I don't know why this is happening to me now, as I have done this in the past, and everything has ended up okay, not screwy. I appreciate the help, but I wish that Adobe would have announced that they were going to change AS2 when they released 10.0 ...

Here.

Seeing as you're using AS2 in that last post, mind saving down a few versions for those of us without CS4?

One moment... :\

Okay, earlier I posted a topic about certain "if" statements. in a thread called "Is Flash Faulty?" I got a load of helpful feedback, but now I am 100% SURE that Flash is FAULTY!

Before I get feedback saying "write '.text'", I want to tell you all that I already have.

All you need to do is put either '_root.' or 'this.' in front of the enterframe action.
This will make flash recognize the usernamelogin variable. I don't know what you're trying to do my making if change Greth-of-D to Greth-of-Destruction, but this should make it work... i think.

SHIT i forgot,

if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-D" , passwordlogin == "a") {

you need to change that comma to && or something, because otherwise it wont work.
Hop this helps

I'll definitely try it. If it works, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, if not, thanks anyway. :)

Do you mind if I private message you if I have any problems?

Put a trace somewhere tracing usernamelogin or what ever it is. On another note, is this a variable or a textfield's instance name?

Feel free to call me a Flash retard, but I have no idea how to "trace" something. The "usernamelogin" is the variable; there is no instance name yet, as I don't have to move it around.

Not in the slightest bit.

Here's an example. Just don't press the spacebar while running the .swf, otherwise it will perform a function that isn't completed, and, as such, is still glitchy. Click "login", type "Greth-of-D" under the username, type "a" as the password.

I've tried both ways. I prefer not having a button.

Tried it. Nope. Besides, I haven't had to do that in the past.

I'm still not getting anything new. Does anyone here know what's wrong?

Actually, yes it does. I understand your writing format as I have used it before. It still needs editing. You need description.

Alright. Thanks for the comments. I'll definitely be sure to brush up on my strings then. :]

This waz Harold.

I was wondering what the "contains" code in Flash was, and if it does what I think it does.

When I type "contains" in the actionscript box, it turns blue, indicating that it is a piece of coding. I'm thinking that it searches a variable text box, looking for an indicated letter or word, such as "a".

ex:

if(variablename contains "a"){
	gotoAndStop(2)
}

If it does do what I think it does, then I'm in business. The reason that I haven't been able to figure out for myself is that Flash is glitching on me. So, can any of you helpful Flash people help me?

I see Benny, silent meditative Benny, running across the store's entrance with the bat in hand. I'm not sure if he yells in anger or yells to make sure someone hears him, to make sure he's alive. Before reaching the torso that scrounges for the asphalt, he leaps, bat held high over his head. For a second he floats then crashes down, bat first, landing the aluminum between the torso's shoulder blades. The former employee's shirt ripples as bones shatter. As ribs break, all I hear is the sound of a handful of snap pops hitting the ground. Another childhood moment overshadowed by death and violence.

That paragraph needs a SHITLOAD of editing. I'm not trying to offend you, but you need a better style of writing than that.

Besides that, what are we supposed to be doing for you?

Sorry, I meant to post:

if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-Destruction" and passwordlogin == "a") {
		gotoAndStop(4);
	}

to

if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-D" and passwordlogin == "a") {
		gotoAndStop(4);
	}

As the title asks, I am asking the question "Is Flash Faulty?"

I have been running some "if" codes in flash for a while now, and any time that I do, it seems to glitch up on me.

Here's an example of what I am experiencing:

I put the code

onEnterFrame = function(){
	if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-D") {
		usernamelogin = "Greth-of-Destruction";
	};
	if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-Destruction" and passwordlogin == "a") {
		gotoAndStop(4);
	}
};

However, when I actually type in Greth-of-D into the username bar, it does not change to "Greth-of-Destruction". Nor does it go to frame 4 if I change

if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-Destruction" and passwordlogin == "a") {
		gotoAndStop(4);
	} to 	if (usernamelogin == "Greth-of-D" and passwordlogin == "a") {
		gotoAndStop(4);
	}

Does anyone know what is happening? I have the feeling that this is Adobe's fault. That, or I might need to get the full version of Flash (Flash fucked on my machine, so I'm using another one for now).
