I have a function in my flash AS3 file. I'd like to pass a parameter when calling this function and have that parameter become the name of a new FLV playback component I'm declaring;
function newVideo(myVideoName){
var [myVideoName]:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
}

View 2 RepliesI am trying to do is declare a variable in PHP and pass that variable to my flash file. Right now i am simply trying to do 1 easy variable, more will happen in the future but i need to figure this out first.I have used other forums and they say try this and that, but nothing i do seems to work. here is my code.
PHP Code:[code].....
For the record I am running Flash CS4, but am using actionscript 2.0 (its just what I know, and I don't feel like learning 3.0)-So I'm making a contact list, and each of the names will be clickable to bring up more information. There's going to be a lot of names, so I'm trying to keep the actionscript concise. The code is shown below in a simplified form, but essentially I have created a variable for the hexadecimal color, and I have created a function which will change the text color of each of the name buttons. This works, I have tested it. But, I don't want to have to tell the function to run for every single name button
(eg. changeColor (option1 , testColor);
changeColor (option2 , testColor);
changeColor (option3 , testColor);
etc..)
SO - I tried to create a for loop that would run the changeColor function for each button without typing it a million times. The one below should run from "option1" to "option5" for instance. I originally tried entering the equation "option" + i as a parameter, but it did not work. So I tried the code below where the for loop creates a variable which is assigned the value option1, option2, etc. as it runs through the loop. I added the trace code, and it is showing me that MCname is holding the correct value. However, the changeColor function still refuses to insert the MCname variable as a parameter. The testColor parameter is a variable, and that will work, so why not the MCname one? I also tried replacing the MCname variable with the name of a button (option1) and it runs fine. I just don't want to type in every single option name for the entire list.Sorry for rambling, but I'm trying to fully explain the situation.. If the code is all correct, why won't the changeColor function accept a variable for the first parameter? Is there a way I can get this to work without having to copy and paste the changeColor(option, Color) code for every button (there could be over 100 options)
CODE:
var testColor:Number = 0x33ff00;
function changeColor(buttonName , myColor:Number){

I need a way to wait running the parseCSV command until the readFile event has updated the content of importData. I have seen a few things about custom event dispatchers but cannot quite figure out how to use them in my situation.
private var importData : String;
public function importFile(event:MouseEvent):void {
var data:String = chooseFile();
parseCSV(importData);

I have a function with three parameters, that works fine when I type in the parameter values. The function is tweens(MCname, targX, targY) and it runs properly when I use tweens(btn1, 150, 200) for instance. I need the function to move 6 different movie clips, one at a time, and I am using a variable (Counter) and an if statement to tell the function to run again after one of my tween classes finishes. The code all works, and it will run six times with the same clip if I just type in one of the movie clip's instance names as the MCname parameter. BUT, if I try to use a variable (BTNname) to serve as the MCname parameter, it will not work, making it so I cannot apply the function to my 6 different movie clips. I put a trace on the MCname parameter, and it returns the correct value (btn1, btn2, btn3, etc) but it is not moving the corresponding movieclips. I've tried a number of different methods, but nothing will work..[code]
View 4 Repliesok so i've been stuck on this for a while...What i'm trying to do is create a function that updates a global variable (randomVar) that is itself a parameter in the function e.g
[Code]....
Basically, i thought randomVar and vari were the same so when vari was changed randomVar would too but that's not the case. So how do i make the parameter equal the new value(5). I want to repeat the function using different variables so putting randomVar = vari in the function is not possible.
Though this works:

View 1 RepliesIf I wanted to create a function called printMe, what's the proper syntax so that it prints what the function information prints?[code]...
View 1 Repliesf you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
Simple question that I wanted to ask before I actually implement it and run into possible problems. Is it possible in AS3 to declare a function within a function, just as it is possible in javascript?

I'm trying to get a value from a function which is a URLLoader COMPLETE event but even with declaring variables outside of the function will not allow me to get the value out. I'm stuck.It seems that the Asynchronous nature of Flash makes it impossible to get a value out: e.g. this works:
// Initialise a URLLoader to get XML data from XML file
var myFPBLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myFPBLoader.load(new URLRequest("flightPlannerBoard.xml"));

View 6 RepliesI need to create a variable and declare it (I presume you need to declare in Flash?)Basiclay my buttons on the site will link to lots of different movie clips which contain content for each button. For example teh About button will tell the about MC to play. For my transitions though each MC has a beginning, middle and end seqence so i wangt to create a varibale that goes something like this. I am wriing in my crazy logic not actions cript. "MyCurrentMC" is my intended variable and is the name of a movioe clip (instance?)

View 6 RepliesI want to declare a variable in a class for an instance of an object that was added in the Flash IDE.
Example:
I have symbols for several types of panels that all subclass Panel.
To each panel symbol in the library, I add a button and give it an instance name "defaultButton."
This is really convenient, however, I want a defaultButton property for for my Panel class, and cannot find a way to do it. If I try adding a defaultButton property it throws errors:
ActionScript Code:
public class Panel: extends MovieClip{
public var defaultButton:Button; //as an example. Getters and setters also don't work
}
I also cannot check for the existence of defaultButton in code:
ActionScript Code:
public function GetDefaultButton():Button {
if(this.defaultButton)
return this.defaultButton;
else
Throw new Error("Panels are supposed to have a Button instance named 'defaultButton' added using the Flash IDE");
}
...possibly undefined error.
Is there any way for my class to enforce/ recognise the existence of the defaultButton instance added using the IDE in my Class?
Instead of this code:
var bomb1:Boolean = false;
var bomb2:Boolean = false;
var bomb3:Boolean = false;
Would it be possible to use an array like this? var bomb:Array = [false,false,false]; Or would it be better in another way? Isn't it necessary to declare the variable/array to be boolean or number if it would be that type in the index? Could I also use an array for the movieclips like bomb[0].visible = true; ? But how di I declare that array?
I am starting to learn coding the class... I tried to declare a movieclip variable in a class file. But it shows an error.[code]
