pressstart.swf

The Trove console title / main-menu screen displayed after boot, showing the account name and a navigable list of options (Play, Credits, News, Switch Profile). It handles platform-specific visibility (NX/Durango) and drives a loading animation on the decorative cube.

Document/main class: PressStart (extends _kiwi.Core.UIComponent) SWF-specific classes: 4 (1 logic-bearing, 3 trivial asset wrappers)

Main class: PressStart

PressStart is the root document class. Its constructor registers Iggy callbacks, initialises state, uses listenForFrame to defer building the selectable-item list until the timeline reaches targetFrame, and stops the decorative cube clip. The component has a two-frame timeline (frames 1 and 11, both stop()).

Public methods

  • setAccountName(param1:String) : * — writes the player's account name into accountNameText.
  • setLatestNewsStatus(param1:Boolean) : * — colours the News entry yellow (Colors.LIGHT_YELLOW) if there is unread news, or white otherwise. Safe to call before setUpSelectableItems runs (guarded by newsIndex != -1).
  • setHighlight(param1:int) : void — moves the visual highlight (and yellow tint) to the given selection index; called by the engine for controller D-pad navigation.

Key fields

Field Type Role
accountNameText TextField Displays the logged-in account name
centerTextPlay MovieClip "Play" menu entry clip
centerTextCredits MovieClip "Credits" menu entry clip
centerTextProfile MovieClip "Switch Profile" entry (Durango only)
centerTextNews MovieClip "News" entry (hidden on NX)
cube MovieClip Decorative spinning cube; plays on triggerLoadingAnimation
btnBackground MovieClip Background graphic
currentSelection int Index of currently highlighted item (default 0)
selectableItems Array Ordered list of menu-entry clips, built at targetFrame
newNews Boolean Whether there is unread news (affects News entry colour)
newsIndex int Position of the News entry in selectableItems (-1 until built)

Frame scripts / timeline

  • frame1 — stop() (initial hold frame).
  • frame11 — stop() (second state frame, likely a transition end).
  • listenForFrame(this, targetFrame, setUpSelectableItems) — deferred init: builds selectableItems array after the timeline reaches targetFrame.

Runtime dependencies & integration

ExternalInterface.addCallback registrations:

  • SET_ACCOUNT_NAME → setAccountName
  • SET_LATEST_NEWS_STATUS → setLatestNewsStatus
  • setHighlight → setHighlight
  • triggerLoadingAnimation → starts cube.play()

Platform guards:

  • IsNX() — hides centerTextProfile and centerTextNews entirely on Nintendo Switch.
  • _platform == PLATFORM_DURANGO && !IsNX() — adds centerTextProfile to the selectable list on Xbox (Durango).

Colour constants used: Colors.YELLOW (highlighted item), Colors.WHITE (normal), Colors.LIGHT_YELLOW (news indicator).

Other game-specific classes

  • Play — UIComponent subclass; embeds /_assets/assets.swf#symbol15. No logic beyond constructor.
  • Credits — UIComponent subclass; embeds /_assets/assets.swf#symbol13. No logic beyond constructor.
  • SwitchProfile — UIComponent subclass; embeds /_assets/assets.swf#symbol11. No logic beyond constructor.

Notable logic

  • setUpSelectableItems runs after timeline reaches targetFrame, ensuring the named child clips exist. The News entry index (newsIndex) is captured at build time so setLatestNewsStatus can colour it without iterating the whole array.
  • Highlight state is purely visual: each entry clip is expected to have child clips named highlight (alpha toggled), button_console_south (alpha toggled), and textField (colour toggled).
  • triggerLoadingAnimation simply calls cube.play() — the animation runs until its own timeline ends, presumably looping or landing on a hold frame.
