Action script hi! how can i start learning the action script the easiest ways, since i have no background in programming?....

Installation
The scripts communicate with the Jandy system through a USB Serial Adaptor (e.g. the Keyspan USA-19HS USB Serial Adapter) connected to the Jandy Aqualink RS Serial Adaptor.

In order to use these scripts with SerialX, you will need to separately download and install SerialX as a Scripting Addition. As currently written, you will also need to determine the exact name of your serial connection and edit the following statement in both scripts:

property SerialConnectionName : "/dev/cu.USA19H47P1.1" -- Replace "dev/cu.USA19H47P1.1" with the name of your USB Serial Adaptor.

After editing, drag the Jandy Aqualink attachment script into the folder: /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4/Scripts/Attachments
and the Jandy Aqualink background sync script into the folder: /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4/Scripts/Background Tasks
Initiating use of the background script is typically accomplished by establishing a Trigger Action that activates on Indigo Server restart.

Usage
Assumes a Jandy Aqualink RS-4 or RS-8 Pool/Spa combination with auxiliary 1 set for pool light and auxiliary 2 set for spa light.

Unlike the previous version, the background script will now automatically execute periodically after being initiated (typically with a Trigger Action that activates on Indigo startup), will create variables as needed, and will update the status of those variables. By default the updates occur every 30 sec for most items using a single "#LEDS?" command, and every 30 min for the temperatures, with error detection if something does not update correctly. If the Spa is heating, temperature updates default to every 2 min. Variables created include AirTemp, ErrorFree, NextTempUpdate, PoolHeatEna, PoolHeatOn, PoolLightOn, PoolPumpOn, PoolSetPoint, PoolStateOn, PoolTemp, SpaHeatEna, SpaHeatOn, SpaLightOn, SpaSetPoint, SpaStateOn, SpaTemp.

You can get many tutorials on youtube and i do have some in my blogs http;//blog.browseforart.com and http://video.browseforart.com

You can get help from:
http://www.flashkit.com/
But before that you can download some useful PDF file include learning of Action script.You can get them from these links:
www.flashclassroom.com/docs/documents/276_actionscript1flash8.pdf

www.dropnet.com/aktuell/bibliothek/pdf/ActionScript.pdf

https://internal.shenton.wa.edu.au/ITResources/Flash/Internet%20PDFs/ textanimatescript.pdf

Good luck

you're going to need some 'if then statements' linked to the color of the city. and some global procs for them so that they can tell the program what state they are in.
on mouse down-action x-
action x
if city.rgb=(rrr,ggg,bbb)
then city.rgb = (rrr2,ggg2,bbb2)
end

Here is the simpliest of them all:

this.createTextField("myText", 1, 0, 0, 100, 25);
this.myText.text = "Hello world!";
This script writes Hello world! on the screen, and if you want to get to know ActionScript better, here is a great way to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActionScript
Read that page, visit some of the external links you find there and later you may search Google for terms like "Action script tutorial" or "Action script examples"

Hope this helps. Ask again if you need more help.

I might have something for you:

The easiest and fastest way to learn the basics of any of the main office programs is with multimedia tutorials. Ranging 5-10 times faster than text. More can be learned in this way in a shorter time.
In regards to VBA, if you only want to work with macros and scripts within an application, a minimal knowlege is all that is necessary. If you are wanting to use VBA across applications, you will need a little more depth of knowlege (at least in my case) is needed. May I suggest Microsoft's 'inside out' series of books. It looks intimidating but you only need the section you are studying.
There is something special about getting tutorials and learning information from the actual program manufacturer. They are the authority and free.
Okay, my suggestion is to first go to Microsofts website and view the tutorials available for your application: MS Office tutorials
Then, if you find your thirst for knowledge unquenched:

• Third party online tutorials are often quite good. But often the depth knowledge like VBA will turn into a 'tips and tricks' rather than the foundation needed.
• Get some of the multimedia learning, all it takes is a few 20 minute segments. Titles like Mastering Access 2003 by Magic Media, includes VBA.

Learning some of these applications can be very daunting. It is estimated that your typical user will use only around 10% of the programs capabilities. And they keep adding capabilities! Anyway start easy and work your way up to the complexity you want.
For the other users that have similiar problems, the real answer is to learn the above. But to convert numbers to words you need to redefine the field as text, and enter numbers.
And if you are setting up a search criteria for multiple text boxes using IF condition, it depends on what you are comparing. If you are comparing to a set quantity it would look something like this: IF field/text box = "Fixya" THEN performed action. Endif. If you are comparing two or more text boxes to each other it may look something like this: IF field/textboxA = fieldtextboxB or fieldtextboxC THEN action Else action. Endif

Hope this helps!

Dear nic_hk, in macromedia there is an option of removing the intro by checking the skip this box or by checking the box that says 'dont show me this screen again'

About flash action script this is a complete resource for learning it along with embedded java scripting.

If that has helped you please press 'fixya'
