ActionScript 1/2 :: Detecting A Change To A Variable?
Oct 31, 2011
Can I detect a change to a variable (a data string)?
I am making a AS2 SWF (player level 7) with a combobox page navigation. I have a page name variable that I am changing from outside of the SWF with Director and Authorware using (I believe) FlashVars. The variable (internally) is set by default during SWF initialization. The external variables values allowed are always one of the combobox's data field values. The combobox default variable is not always index positon 0 (zero). Or the order of the data either. The variable can get changed internally by the nav combobox used for navigation independent of the external variable. - this works When the shared nav var is changed from the external source, the combobox needs to change to the match the corresponding combobox's data variable. This is what I am trying to do. I can change the combobox setting programatically (index) but not get it to recognize it as a change event. Or tell it programatically
Can the combobox be selected by the data variable or is the only option to use the index (and loop through index values to match variable to data field)?
And update the combobox selection (and as a result the nav page) by triggering a change event programatically?
Detecting the var change cleanly without the OnEnterFrame trick is my goal - if it even works in the version I have to use (flash palyer 7).

I define a global variable in a swf and then launch a child window which will alter the value of the global variable and I want the parent to detect that event and take specific action. How should I go about this? Can global variables launch events?

I'm trying to make this fluid preloader that uses tween classes to change the size of the bar instead of just using something likegotoAndStop(percent)I have the tween class working but need a way for it to detect the change of the percentage variable. Here's what I'm trying to get it to do:Current percentage is at 55, this is set as the "currentPercent" variable. It suddenly jumps to 65%, the "currentPercent" variable would change to 65 while the "prevPercent" variable would stay at 55 so the tween class could have a beginning and ending value.

What event would signal that the visual content of an SWFLoader had changed or how would you detect that.
Actually if the visual content changes there is in fact a "render" event broadcast in the parent application, but I don't know how to determine which SWFLoader caused it.
Say you have one SWFLoader on a page that contains some sort of input control but its just sitting there doing nothing until a user presses something on it, and then there is a render event in the parent application. However, if there is another SWFLoader that contains a continually playing VideoDisplay, then there will be continal render messages being broadcast in the parent application (I verified this.) My point being that the parent application is getting signaled somehow the instant the visual content of some embedded SWFLoader changes. But the question is how does my code determine specifically which SWFLoader changed.

I thought this would be easy but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I've got a button with a text field in it, simple old dynamic one, not an input. I need to be able to change the htmlText value of that text field and detect it so I can change the size of the button to fit. I thought using Event.CHANGE would do it but I'm not getting the callback:
Code:
private function setListeners():void{
this.btn_text.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, textChange);
[code].....

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).

I'm creating a board game which has 3 variables, p1Move, p2Move and activePlayer.
p1Move and p2Move store the p1 and p2 location on a game board. activePlayer stored who's turn it is at the moment.
I am loading a value in from a text file which changes the value of move. This all works fine when i designate a player directly:
ActionScript Code:
p1Move = [insert variable name],
but i want to designate dynamically based on who's turn it is.
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root["p"+activePlayer+"Move"] = Number(this.varAmount);
so that flash changes the value of p1Move (or p2Move depending on who's turn it is) to varAmount. varAmount is the variable being read from the textfile.
Hopefully that all makes sense. Basically i want flash to change the variable associated with the active player only.

I have one swf file that containes a mc using an easing function to move an arrow around. That mc has the instance named myruler. The arrow moves based on the value of a variable named "y". This swf also has a mc that I use as a container to load movies into. The movies that are loaded into the container mc have buttons that I would like to use to change the value of the variable "y" in the movie clip named myruler found in my base swf. Did that make sense? [code]...

I have a flash movie being loaded inside a parent movie. Inside the loaded movie is a variable called lvl, and its refered to as loadedmovie.lvl in the parent movie.
So if i'm wondering what the lvl is in the loaded movie, I just use loadedmovie.lvl to get the variable.
But I want to know when this variable CHANGES. How am I able to detect when this lvl variable changes? Inside the loaded movie, it's been set to change almost every frame in the movie, but I'm not going to call a function inside every frame of that movie to find out when it changes.
how do I detect a variable change and then make it call a function?
