I'm working with 2 global variables and I need to compare them on 6 different button function clicks for a lot of different scenarios.[code]My function is starting to look like this;[code]only problem i see is that there are many different scenarios and this if statement could get very long. Is there a way to combine it somehow so there wouldn't be that many else if's?
View 3 RepliesFor login I need to compare two variables. One of the variables (passw) is loaded dynamically. The other one (pw) is set by a form the user hast to fill. I wrote the following code on a button in the frame where the user hast to type his password (passw is already loaded from a textfile):
on (release) {
if (pw == passw) {
gotoAndStop(4);
} else {
gotoAndStop(3);
}}
In frame 3 I wrote: "wrong password", code is stop ()
In frame 4: "welcome user", code is stop()
I tried half an hour to fix that but I always get "wrong password".
One more question: is a movie loaded with loadMovie(...) able to work with variables set in the main movie (in which I loaded it)?
I've got an xml file that contains some data (which will be created by an external file later on in the project) and i want to be able to check the data in that XML file against a variable stored in flash.
If the value in the XML is equal to or greater than the value in the variable i want to jump to a different frame. If the xml value is less that the variable value i want it to stop and tell the user a message. i've included my code below. I just cant get it to work. Regardless of if the value in the XML file is higer or lower than the variable in flash, it always continues to the final frame instead of stopping accordingly.
ActionScript
Code:
//Load xml file that contains amount of cash user has and populate cash_txt box with amount
function loadXML(loaded) {

I am making a scoreboard. On this scoreboard I will have 10 different scores. I want to compare the 10 scores and list the top 3 scores in another location. I was thinking at first
if(score1>score2&&score1>score3&&score1>score4 etc.....){
some function
}
But this will only give me the top score in the group. I would like to find the top 3 scores, and then list them.
I'm trying to compare two array variables and combine if they do. This is what I have in mind: (it's inside a "for")
Code:
var people:String;
if (arr[i + 1][0]==arr[i][0]){
people = arr[i + 1][6]+", "+arr[i][6];
[code]....
The "i + 1" obviously do not work.
var q4:Boolean = false; //Will have thirty-eight of these, q4-q41
function noRepeat() {
if (q(_root._currentframe) == true) {
gotoAndStop(randRange(4, 41));
} else if ((q(_root._currentframe)) == false) {
q(_root._currentframe) = true;
}
}
Now, my problem is the bits in red (yes, I know they don't work, that was just the best way I could think to describe what I wanted).
If I create a string that says "q4" then I find it won't compare that to the boolean variable, but I'm positive there must be a better way than putting one of these on every frame.
used to be able to handle variables and if else statements back in AS2.0, but I don't know how to go around them in AS3.0For instance, a code like this:

I'm having the hardest time getting this to work, I have the concept of how things need to be put together, but the code is wrong. I can't even get the first if statement to work.I have a menu that is going to be loading external swfs into an empty mc. It needs to check to make sure the external swf has gone through its stopping animation before loading something else. Here's what I've got so far... I hope this is clear enough...button:
Code:
on (press) {
//check if this is the first mc being loaded
[code]....
Is it possible to check many different variables in many different MC's without a billion if/else statements?

The AS3 documentation states that if you pass in a string to parseInt that is not a number it will return NaN. However, when I try to compare to NaN the compiler gives me the following error: Warning: 1098: Illogical comparison with NaN. This statement always evaluates to false. The statement is actually true. Comparing to NaN will always return false. How can I compare to NaN to detect if what was parsed was NaN?
if( parseInt("test") == NaN )
{// do something (never gets here)

comparing the two bitmapdatas?I'd like to have a function which returns an int (a value of how big the difference is), where 0 means they are identical.Right now I can do it with two for-loops, and getPixel. Then I compare the R-, G- and B-value separately. But it's slow if the images are big.

View 3 RepliesI'd like to know how to compare one array to another array with objects.
For example:
Array1 = [one, blue, car];
// there will always be only one entry in this array - no Array1[1], no Array1[2], etc.
Array2 = [product.number, product.color, product.type, product.cost, product.qty];
The actual content in Array2 would be something like this:
Array2[0] = [three, green, boat, 100, 5];
Array2[1] = [two, blue, truck, 200, 3];
Array2[2] = [one, red, car, 50, 20];
...and so on, up to about 60.
I'm trying to figure out to go through all of Array2 to determine if there's a match to Array1. Since none of the entries in Array2 are the same, there will always be one match.In this instance, I want to match array1 with product.number, product.color, and product.type. My example has them as the first 3 criteria, though that may not always be the case.
Something along the lines of this:
Code:
function findMatch () {
for(i = 0; i < Array2.length; i++) {
if(all 3 Array1 items equals items in Array2[i]) {
[code]...
Background: I've a combobox search that allows a user to select from drop-downs. After a user selects items from all 3 drop-downs, they click a submit button, and there's a check to see if the criteria in the drop-downs matches anything in the Array2 (which it should, if you can select it, then it's in the array).
After that, the matched information is used to populate a movieclip. There's actually about 20 pieces of information associated with each product. However, I only need to match 3 of them.I've searched and found comparisons for arrays. But I don't see how they'd apply to my issue as I'm using objects and there are more items in array2 than in array1. Of course, they may apply, and I'm just not understanding how. I could create a 3rd array and move only the items needed for a match from the array2 to it. Then I could do a straight comparison between array1 and array3.
I want to compare my two arrays.When both has the same object. they will trace out the name i give.This is the code;
var cap_array:Array = new Array(Sugar,Sugar,Milk,Cocoa);
function ingredients(evt:TimerEvent):void { var ing_mc:MovieClip = null; timer++;[code]......
There is no error in the code; but it can't trace out "cappuccino". Is it I should take the ingredients in order like in the array of the cap_array?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to position an image on top of another image based upon the make-up of the smaller image. The smaller image is a cut-out of a larger image and I need it to be positioned exactly on the larger image to make it look like a single image, but allow for separate filters and alphas to be applied. As the images are not simple rectangles or circles, but complex satellite images, I cannot simply redraw them in code. I have quite a few images and therefore do not feel like manually finding the position of each image every and hard setting them manually in actionscript. Is there any way for me to sample a small 5-10 sq. pixel area against the larger image and set the x and y values of the smaller image if a perfect match is found? All the images are in an array and iterating through them has already been set, I just need a way to sample and match pixels. My first guess was to loop the images pixel by pixel right and down, covering the whole bitmap and moving to the next child in the array once a match was found, leaving the matched child where it was when the perfect match was found.
View 4 RepliesI have one array with many elements inside.
ActionScript Code:
var all_id:Array = new Array ["56","42","35","64"];
I also have one cd id, which is dynamically created.Im trying to create a function, which checks if the cd id matches any of the IDs of the array.
ActionScript Code:
for(i=0; i<all_id.length;i++){
if(all_id[i] == id){
trace("ID MATCH");
[code]....
My problem is that - because I'm looping through the elements, I get several traces.Is there a way to get a result if any element matches?
