ActionScript 1/2 :: Pass Parameters Along With A Function That Is A Parameter To Another Function?
Sep 3, 2010
I'm having some trouble passing parameters with a function that is itself being passed as a parameter.In my application code I'm instancing that class five times:they are buttons in a menu.In that class, I've got an onRelease handler that does a number of things when a button is released, one of which is to invoke a function that is defined in the application level of the code.My problem is that I don't know how to send the function parameters.In my StandardButton class I have:
class StandardButton extends MovieClip
{
/* define properties */[code]..........
The function is successfully being "sent" to the StandardButton class, but without any parameters.How can I send parameters to the class instance with the way I've got this architected.

I'm just looking for clarification on the passing of a parameter and why/how it works.
In this example, it looks like you create a parameter to be passed in called 'evt', but I don't see it used anywhere in the function. [code]...

how to pass parameter to eventListener function.[code]

I�d like to know how could use the Timer class extended.I�m trying to pass a parameter to the constructor function, so I can use it inside the listener.
�
Here�s example:
�
[CODE]
package { import flash.utils.Timer import flash.display.DisplayObject public class ChangeColorTimer extends Timer {� � public static const CHANGE_COLOR:String = "changeColor";� � public var obj:DisplayObject� � public function ChangeColorTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int, obj:DisplayObject ) {�� super(delay, repeatCount)�� this.obj = obj � } } }
[/CODE]
�
That was the ChangeColorTimer that extends Timer.Now, I�d want to know how would I use ChangeColorTimer.I thought it was the same as using Timer.I�ve tried this:
�
[CODE]
public function changeColor(mc:MovieClip):void� {�� var colorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform()�� colorTransform.color = 0xEE0000�� mc.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform�� var changeColorTimer:ChangeColorTimer = new ChangeColorTimer(400, 1, mc)�� changeColorTimer.addEventListener(ChangeColorTimer.CHANGE_COLOR, setNormalColorListener)�� changeColorTimer.start()�� � }� private function setNormalColorListener(e:Event):void{�� trace("called")�� �� � }
[/CODE]
�
I called changeColor, but, I don�t get "called" in the output from the setNormalColorListener listener.

i want to pass by reference so i can use this variable outside the function.
�
What im doing is creating a global variable such as var cont:int; and then in a eventListener like enter_frame (stage.addEventListener..) calling a function called "mover", this function modifies "cont" value and i just want to print this value modified. The issue is i cant pass the value by reference just by const :S. The function is void, but if i change it to return int, its useless because each time i call the function, the value i want to return its created each time with a new value, beacuse i need to declare it so.. I read i can use a var such as Object but i really dont get it (im used to c++ i have to say)

Inside my function there is an if() statement like this:
if(passedValue < staticValue)
But I need to be able to pass a parameter dictating whether the if expression is like above or is:
if(passedValue > staticValue)
But I cant really pass < or > operator in has a parameter, so I was wondering what is the best way to do this?
Also if the language I am using matters its ActionScript 3.0

In as3, I am adding event listener and then attaching the anonymous function to it:[code]Now this whole piece of code is looped n times. Now, I have n myBoxes and whenever I roll my mouse over the box, it should alert the name. But, what I see is that the last value of count is used by each box. How can I pass parameter or value to the anonymous function? ( as roll over , I believe, expects only one variable)

I created a function to handle the size of a talk bubble for a chat application based on what's being loaded into the movie clip I want it to scale it's height that is. I have it working when like this
Code: Select allif (!gabChatBox.gabOp1.text == "") {
Tweener.addTween (gabChatBox.talkBubble,{height:200, time:1, transition:"easeOutElastic"});
}
[code]....
I am assuming that I must pass some sort of parameter over to the other function that is calling the resizeGabHandler()

function open(n) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
this["item"+n].play();

I have also tried calling a function from setInterval which in turn calls a function with a parameter...also didn't work!

I am attempting to get Flash - Javascript communication working using ExternalInterface.addCallback, using code found at http:[url].... I am trying to pass parameters into Flash using a javascript function, but it only works if I insert a 'window.alert' line into the code. Once I click OK, the parameter str is passed into Flash ok. The function is:
�
function sendToFlash(str) {������� ������� if (str=="tools"){����������� window.alert(str);��� ������� getFlashMovie("richFunctionality_corp").sendTextToFlash(str);[code]....
�
If I remove the window.alert, str isn't passed into Flash. Is this a browser speed thing? A value menu is passed out of Flash using getURL("index.php?pageID=239&menu=tools"), i.e. the page reloads and a php script� sends the appropriate str value to the sendToFlash javascript function based upon the value of menu.

I'm working with arrays in AS3 and some of the utility functions described in the livedocs such as filter() or some() would be very useful to me, if only I could pass parameters to them...
�
Actually, I cannot find a single example of the use of these functions with custom parameters passed to their callbacks. Everywhere, it is always used with constants ! E.g. on this page: [URL]
��
var arr:Array = new Array();var totalElements:uint = 100;for(var i:uint = 0; i<totalElements; i++) {��� arr[i] = Math.round(Math.random()*100);}function isLargerThan90(element:*, index:int, arr:Array):Boolean {��� return element > 90;}var highestNumbers:Array = arr.filter(isLargerThan90);trace(highestNumbers);�
�
What I need is a kind of "isLargerThan" function with "90" as an argument's value, not as a constant. Something like
�
function isLargerThan(element:*, index:int, arr:Array, param:Object):Boolean {��� return element > (param as Number);}I find it very odd that I cannot find no mention of the way to do this on the whole WWW, because that makes these utility functions absolutely helpless in many many cases and programming with arrays a real pain...

I have already created a custom mouse event which seems to work fine. It is simply a mouse event which passes an additional sound object. The problem is I am passing this event to another class which checks for collision of a movie clip with another and if true it adds the sound to an array. What I think is happening is a type conversion problem between my customEvent and the MouseEvent. [code]...

I know how to loop through the ...rest param to obtain their values but I'm struggling at how to construct the final gateway.call() which could have 1 arg or 10.

i have one movie clip named one_mc.And i have one function named thisFunction.to add an event listener, i would code:
one_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_SOMETHING , thisfunction);
1) I want to show a box containing some text when the mouse is OVER it. Of course, when its not over, the box should not appear
2) I want to give parameters to thisFunction in order to use it, the way i prefer!
I must make one eventlistener for MOUSE_OVER and another for MOUSE_OUT? How do I pass parameters for the function when i call it?

This will work:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar);
function addCar(evt:MouseEvent)
{
[code]...
... but I want to pass the a value when calling the function:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar(classVolvo));
function addCar(evt:MouseEvent, newClass:Class)
{
var car1:Car = new Car( 1, 1, classVolvo)
[code]...
This won't work. Because it then just passes the Class and not the MouseEvent. What should I write in the addCar(...) call function? Ie how to I manually pass an MouseEvent?

I'm trying to call a function in frame 1 of my SWF and also pass it a parameter.
I need to do this from elsewhere on the embedding HTML page using JavaScript.
For example call the function flashFunction(foo);
Does this require a listener in Flash that listens for the call, excepts "foo" and then calls the flashFunction and passes "foo" to it?
Can this be called directly without a listener?

I've got a main.as that loads SWF to the stage. the loaded SWF seppoused to pass a link to the main.as and trigger a javascript function to popUp that photo from that link.
I know there are two ways:
�
((root as MovieClip).parent.parent as Object).somefunction(parameters);
�
and to dispatch an event. inorder to pass parameters throug the event i need to extend it with another class.
�
isnt the (root as... )� more efficient if all i need is to pass a link?

i have couple of videos that i want to play in succession.� my theory on how to do this was to add an event listener that would call function to change the source of the FLVPlayback component and play once the initial video finished playing. The problem is that i don't know what parameters to pass to the eventlistener and the acting function. I just need someone to fill in the blanks to the following code

Forgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."

I have this class ('Scheduler.as'):
[Code]..
So as you see in your test-run the first two calls work fine, the one that calls a function that takes no parameters and the one that takes one parameter. The problem is when I need to pass more than one parameter! Solving the issue: Well, I know it'd be solved if I could simply retain the ...args as is, and pass it on to the this.m_function.call call. Another way, maybe is to have some sort of a foreach loop which would feed the designated ...args when the time comes, yet again, how would I refer/pass it?

I'm designing a game that uses this function;
function moveBars(Bl:Number,Gr:Number,Or:Number,Ye:Number)
{
blueBar_mc.scaleX += Bl;
greenBar_mc.scaleX += Gr;
orangeBar_mc.scaleX += Or;
yellowBar_mc.scaleX += Ye;
}
When moveBars is called, the length of the 4 colored bars change to indicate how the player is doing in different areas of the game, like so; moveBars(.1,-.2,.3,-.1)
My problem; I need to store the moveBars parameter arguments in XML like so;
<myArgs> .1,-.2,.3,-.1 </myArgs>
But I can't find the way to get those 4 numbers into the moveBars parameters from the XML doc. Is there a way to do this?
