Actionscript 3 :: Variable Be Passed Into Function Name - Error #1034: Type Coercion Failed?
Jun 30, 2011In a 'for loop' I'd like to add an event listener to a series of buttons. For each button I'd like to define a different function. Is it possible to pass the variable through when the functions are being named? My buttons all have sequentially named instance names.Here's my code:
for (var cBut:int = 1; cBut < 4; cBut++)
{
this["c" + cBut].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ["orangeValue" + cBut]);
}
And the resulting error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@42f50a89 to Function.

Arrays :: Accessing Variable From Other Class Returns Null
May 10, 2011I did a separate levelData class to be able to flexibly add levels. I was happy with it until my supervisor ordered me to convert my levelData into XML. I did an XML version of the levelData's data (question, answers, correct answer...). I used the old class and converted it so that it fetches the XML.
All seems well, I did traces of my answers array and it printed nicely...
But the headache started when I tried this.
// This code appears in a different class with
// currentLvl:LevelData initialized in the constructor.
quizHolder.ansA.ansHud.text = currentLvl.choices[1];

ActionScript 3.0 :: Function Always Returns Null?
Apr 25, 2011I've got an object inside an object. The child object basically loads a variable from SQL into one of it's own public variables. The SQL works 100%, because it traces out correctly.Now I've wrote a function from the child.as
Code:
public get_var() : String
{
return var_yes_friggin_work;[code].....;
Of course the files arn't called Parent.as and Child.as I've just had to rename them because our work is monitored though checking the internet and I can't delete this form.The FilePathOriginal doesn't output anything unless the string is manually set from the child, does anyone know where I'm going wrong here? (I can't upload all my code because of the monoriting process)

Sep 18, 2011I have a movieclip I drawn, called Map. It has a child with the name Wall. I'm trying to make a function that returns a 2d tile array of if there is something in that tile or not, for pathfinding. The problem is, levelGrid is entirely false. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have filled the whole movieclip (Wall) with bright red, and yes it still returns false. The x and y of both Map and Wall is 0, so I don't think there should be issues with hitTestPoint accepting global x / y.

Actionscript 3 :: Div(X,Y) Function In C Which Returns The Number Of Times?
Nov 10, 2011I'm talking about the div(X,Y) function in C which returns the number of times X is reduced by Y. if you're confused, I'm talking about this:
div(30,5) returns 6 (30 is reduced 6 times by 5)
div(34,7) returns 4 (you can reduce 30 by 7 four times, leaving 6 behind)
Is there such a function?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Pop Function Returns Null
Jul 25, 2010ActionScript Code:

Does not work. Firstly it runs an error which says
"cannot convert [] to Card"...
Shouldn't it pop() return just ONE element?
Then I correct like this
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop() as Card;
//deck = array of Card
}
And now I get no errors but the function returns null.... why? If I try this:
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():void{
trace(deck.pop());
//deck = array of Card
}
It prints [Object Card] which is how it should be ....

ActionScript 3.0 :: How Ever Load Always Returns True And Write Always Returns False
Nov 4, 2011I have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.

Actionscript 3 :: Using Return Keyword In A Function That Returns Void?

Is there a possible reason for this, or is the developer who worked on this using some weird, self-taught practice?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Menu Navigation System - Dropdown Appears And Returns When The Dropdown Returns
Jul 15, 2004I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.

Actionscript 3 :: Get The Type Of Uninitialized Variable?
Jan 19, 2011The task was meant to be quite simple: I needed to initialize variable with new keyword dynamically, depending on it's type. For example:
public var object:Sprite;
...
object = new Sprite();
In this case type is Sprite, but it could be anything and a method which actually instantiates it with new, doesn't know with what type it was declared. Of course I could store type (or class name) in string variable and instantiate object with it. But I just wonder if I could get that type info from the object itself, 'cause it's declared in a class and logically thinking it's type info might be stored somewhere and be retrievable.
