The gotoAndPlay option isn't kicking in here. The object "sam_MC" proceeds along the specified root. But when the if statement containing gotoAndPlay becomes true, sam_MC simply stops moving and no other action is taken. When sam_MC's x coordinate becomes less or greater than a specified amount, I want the flash movie to restart. My code is located on the first frame of a layer I have named "actions." Here it is.

I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
Code:
/stage variables
var sH:Number;
var sW:Number;
var _contentHolder = new Sprite();

I'm trying to declare a few variables in a for statement using the variable in the for statement. In older flash versions I would use something like this.
Code:
for(a=0;a<10;a++) {
_root["variable"+a] = "Some text "+a;

I would like to use variables in my flash app. The app is quite simple, has many buttons, and on each of those buttons I have a simple script: on-rollover and on-release. For both actions I use the same value, which I want to put in a variable. The following script results in an error message: Statement must appear within on handler. When I have to declare the variable inside the on-handler, I have to declare it twice, which makes it useless as I have to enter the value twice. How can I get this working?
country = "uk"
on (rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(country)}
on (release){ getURL("/"+country+"/", "_self");}

i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?
[Code]...
edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.

does anyone know if declaring new variables within a switch statement (inside of case: break actually creates new variables inside those switch statements, or are the variable declarations moved to the top of the function when compiled?
i know that when declaring new variables inside a for or while loop, the compiler declares those variables at the beginning of the function. is it the same for if or switch statements?

I am trying to run an if statement based on the a variables datatype
var theArray:Array = ['element1','element2'}];
var theString:String = "I am string";

// In php gettype() is what I use to get the type. Is there a similar function in as3?

I am having problems with the
getcoord = xycoordMap[x][y].split(":");
xcoord = getcoord[0].toString();
ycoord = getcoord[1].toString();
xcoord0 = xcoord + "";
ycoord0 = ycoord + "";
code... as you can see in the code I converted three times just to verify that I was working with strings. What happens if you run this script, the variables xcoord0 and ycoord0 magicly change in value when they are used in the IF statement (see the traces). What is going on?? what am I doing worng?? Is there an issue with my 2d Array?

I've read on the net that actionscripting from the action layer will result in a more readable file once published, as apposed to attaching onClipEvent functions which slow down readability.
For this reason I am trying to add variables to a MovieClip I have on the stage with an Instance Name of Player. However I wish to assign the MovieClip variables from the actions layer using the MovieClips Instance Name.

I have two movies: m1 and m2. In m1 I set a variable to variable="yes". Now, I want m2 to read the variable and do an action depended on the variable (see the example below).
This is the AS in m1:
on (release) {
docufield = "background.txt";
}
And this is the AS in m2:
this.loadVariables(docufield);

I am attempting to create what I call an 'On Air' rotator for a radio station. I would like to pull in an image file for each program when it is on air. I have the following AS 3 code that seems to work:
var now = new Date();
var day = now.getDay(); // Returns integer between 0 and 6
var hour = now.getHours(); // Returns integer between 0 and 23

The weekday programming is the same every day. We have some programs that are three hours in length. I would like to cut down on the number of statements I write. I am unsure how to combine the weekdays and have a range of hours in one conditional statement. Will the following work?
if (day >= 0 && day <= 4 && hour >= 6 && hour <= 10)
I'm attempting to express the condition "if the day is Monday through Friday and the hour 6 am to 10 am"

I am making a jigzaw and when all the pieces are put in the right place, another movie clip will be played.All pieces are buttons placed in different movieclips. The movieclips are then placed in scene 1.
In frame 1, I've written
_global.var1=0;
In frame 2, I've put movieclip1, and in movieclip1 I've placed button1, with the following actionscript:
on (press) {
startDrag ("_root.movieclip1");
}[code]..........
However, when the piece is in the right place, and the if-statement has been activated, _global.var1 is still 0 when I trace it in frame2.

Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.

I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?

How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
