ActionScript 1/2 :: Displaying A Variable On Stage?
Nov 9, 2009
I've got a Global variable here in my flash project, which is stated like this,_global.swfloaded = "home";This variable then changes throughout the project, depending on what buttons are pushed.One example of the change is when a button labelled Classic is clicked, taking the user to the Classic page, the variable is changed like this - swfloaded = "classic";I then have a dynamic text field with the instance name of 'output' on the stage, which I want to display the variable, the code I've used for that is - output.text = swfloaded;The problem is the 'output' field doesn't update at all, no matter what is clicked.

The problem is the 'output' field doesn't update at all, no matter what is clicked. How I can quickly and easily get the field to update when the global variable itself is changed.

I'm trying to display on the screen the value of a variable during the swf reproduction. I do not need a function like "trace", because I would to view the variable value on the swf player. Here the code, I've to display the value of click_point variable.

onClipEvent(load){
secondTime = 2560;

I have a tiny spaceship and I can control its direction and speed using the arrow keys. Its only a test for the moment so it looks pretty basic.
Anyway, now that I have that working I am trying to put in a dynamic text box which will display the speed of the spaceship as it slows down or speeds up. I've put the text box in a movieclip called "caption" on the same timeline as the space ship but I can't get a reading.
The variable that holds the speed is called "speed" and the textbox in which i want to display the speed is called "carspeed". I thought this might do it:
_root.caption.carspeed = speed;
However I just keep getting "undefined" in the text box.
I've attatched the .fla so you can have a look.
Press the up arrow to go fwd and the down arrow to slow down and move backwards.

I have a variable defined as brushSize. Depending on the value of brushSize, I want to display text in a dynamic text field that relates to its value. For brushSize values of 3, 13, 23, 33, and 43 I'd like to display 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. I'm not really sure where to begin here, but I have tried and failed with something like this:

I've been animating with flash for a while but I've recently wanted to get into game programing. I've learned a lot in the past month and I'm trying to create a fairly simple point and click adventure game with some basic stats and scoring. I'm facing a somewhat simple problem and I'm not sure how to get it to work in AS 3.0.
At the beginning of the flash I've established my variables to keep score while exploring the game.
var Health:Number = 1000;
var Day:Number = 1;
var EXP:Number = 0;
var Money:Number = 1000;
What I'm trying to do though is set up a movie clip with menu options that, when clicked, brings up a screen that displays those stats as well as a couple extra menu options. What I can't figure out to do is how do I display those variable inside the movie clip.
When I create a dynamic text field and place "info_day.text = String(Day);" i get an error unless I create a variable within that movie clip. And when I do that the variables in the movie clip are not affected by the chances of the variables in the main flash.
how do I have the variable in the movie clip to accurately display the variables established in the main part of the flash?

I'm making an interactive animation for my project and I need to display chinese characters on stage. I've already installed the neccessary Window XP features to display chinese and it does display chinese anywhere I go. The strange thing is that the chinese characters are displayed as little white squares on stage but not in my library. In other words, I can read chinese in my library or any other places in my computer besides those that were set on stage.

I was wondering if there was a way to display emptyMovieClips created in Actionscript while working in Flash? I don't mean on run time but rather in real time, as you're working on the Stage in Flash. Basically, I drew a couple of things in Actionscript since I work with banners in varying sizes for different countries. I figured that it would be easier to draw the redundant things in AS and have them adjust automatically to the sizes of the banners rather than to do it for every single one. However, the downside is that myself and the other designers would like to see what we're working with on the Stage.

I have an small app the generates pdfs. In order to generate the pdfs I need to make a screen shot of the stage. I want to integrate this generator into my air application. I would prefer to not show the stage of the generator project, but only output the pdfs file. Is it possible to make a screenshot of the stage without displaying it ?

I have a DynamicText movie clip call mcShotsText. In my .as file I'm creating an instance via:
private var _mcShotsText:MovieClip;
_mcShotsText = new mcShotsText();
_mcShotsText.x = 300;
_mcShotsText.y = 300;
addChild(_mcShotsText);
If I make the symbol so that it starts with text, it displays that fine. I want to alter it in code throughout the course of the game. I was hoping this would work:
_mcShotsText.text = "I am a cample";

I have a datagrid on the stage with an instance name of dg. When I add a element to it, the data-grid adds it correctly (like it shows an empty row) just the data isn't shown. It's like the font is invisible or something. Do I need to like set a font on a datagrid component I have on the stage?

I have code for the user to enter their name in a text box. Once the submit button is clicked I want the name entered to be dispatched with an event as well as displayed on the stage. The reason I want the text field input name to be dispatched is because the text box to enter your name is on the main menu which is loaded and unloaded in order to play through various games.Below is the code to enter your name into the text box.
Code:
var NameTextField:TextField = new TextField();var MyFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
MyFormat.size = 20;
NameTextField.defaultTextFormat = MyFormat;[code].....

In my flex 3.5 project, I have a class (MyItem) extending Canvas. In this I have declared a private variable named itemInfo which is type of ItemInfo (which is another subclass of Canvas).
I wrote code to hide/show the iteminfo when the mouse is over/out of MyItem. I am not getting any error but it is not showing the itemInfo as expected, when debugged the code, surprisingly the variables tab in debug window does not have the variable itemInfo at all.
I have declared a dummy:int variable and it is also not visible.

I am having a really frustrating problem with creating 2 random numbers. When I run the program, everything works fine, until I hit my object and go to the screen "math". Once there, all it shows is one number in one of the 2 boxes. Below is the code used to generate the numbers. I used the "trace" command to see if it was actually generating the numbers, and it is. The problem seems to be with pushing that number into the variable and displaying it to the user.

how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<

Taking this thread to the next level and now making a Main.as class to display different "screens" of my game.For right now I only have 1 screen called ControlPanel, but this will eventually have multiple levels (each level will be a separate screen) and a level selection screen, etc. added. So at this point I'm losing control over how to give things access to the stage (in other words... it's getting really thick with multiple levels and this noob's brain is being overloaded lol).
To start off, I took all of my graphics that were on the stage by default (buttons, lights, meters, score text, etc.) and created a new symbol (MovieClip) that I called ControlPanel and checked off "Export for ActionScript" with a class name of ControlPanel. So now my games fla stage is black and I made it's document class Main.as. which looks like this:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
public var controlPanel:ControlPanel;
public function Main() {[code].........
Running this worked perfectly in that my Control Panel screen popped right onto the screen. Of course all the buttons didn't work yet but that is the next step. So I modified my old Game.as to now be called ControlPanel and read like so:
public class ControlPanel extends MovieClip {
private var docRef:Main;
private var _player:Player;[code]...........
this is a hodgepodge of ideas torn between the docRef and the View idea. I need to have access to the stage for my mouse and keyboard listeners, but then I also need access to the buttons in the ControlPanelView symbol. Do I need to pass both the view and the docRef here? How to I maintain access to the stage and the ControlPanelView graphic?

So I am trying to add a variable from my library to the stage. My variable is a chunk of text saved as a movie clip titled KatText. The issue is I can add it straight onto the stage via this code:Code: this.addChild(KatText ());However when I try to add it as a variable so I can position the text I get the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject.This is the code I am trying to use to define the varible from the library:[code]

In my Flash Application (AS3), I want to get the stage size and use that so my objects (which the user controls) can't go outside of the screen. However, when I use:stage.stageWidth;stage.stageHeight;The values I get aren't actually what I want. They give me the stage size, but if I resize the window, the numbers change as well. Now, in a html page, I don't think that will matter, because the user can't resize it... however, I'd like for it to be more solid than relying on the window size.stage.width;stage.height;However, those gave me "801" and "601", one greater than my actual stage size. Those values did not change when I resized the window, but they were one greater.

I'm having problems with deleting what a variable creates on stage!I have a random image loader as seen below.This creates a random image from the list I give it (only 4 in this example) and puts that picture on the stage.[code]Depending on the image the right or left door is the correct door (tr is the left doors name).The code below works fine, it even inserts the _whatPicture randomly again but the problem is the new picture overlaps the old picture, I can't figure out what to type so it will delete / remove the first _image, so that the new image is the only one there.[code]
