How can I prevent concatenating when using the addition operator? totalCost_txt.text = (firstCost_txt.text + secondCost_txt.text)I can replace the "+" with any other operator and it works. (huh?)
View 3 RepliesHow do I concatenate variable names in AS3?Something like this:
for(var i:int=0 ; i<5 ; i++) {
var "myVar"+i:Array = new Array();
}
When I use the code below the "!" never appears in the output text field. I tried removing nameInput.text and then the "!" will appear. But with nameInput.text in the code, any string I try to add after it does not appear.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a function which ideally you tell it to go to the next level and it sorts everything out to transition to the next level for you. Currently I use this to get from level 1 to 2...
[Code]....
Also I need to make it so it checks if levelText == whatever on press of the Enter key, as well as the mouse click on GoButton.
I'm starting out with AS3 and migrating some old code. I have several dynamic variables in AS2 but they are using _root which isnt available in AS3.How would I go about switching the following variable to AS3? I have at least a dozen different variables similar to this one.
Code:
for (i = 0; i < (k-1); i++) {
pivot = _root["AI"+i][i][i]; // existing AS2 code

I have this code to push "Variable1" in to MyArray:
ActionScript Code:
_root.MyArray.push(Variable1);
Note:
"Variable1" is a number stored as a string.
When "Variable1" changes, the code above is called upon to add the new "Variable1" value in to MyArray. Then I have this code which is called upon to find the sum of all the values within "MyArray":
ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<=_root.MyArray.length-1; i++) {
_root.MyArray_Total = _root.MyArray_Total + MyArray[i];
}
My problem is that rather than adding the values contained within MyArray (as if they were numbers), the values are being concatenated instead.
Example:
If MyArray values were 1, 2, 3
I want the MyArray_Total to = 5
But instead... MyArray_Total = 123
I tried making a new variable named "Variable1_num", declaring it as a number, making it equal to "Variable1", and then pushing "Variable1_num" in to "MyArray"... but that didnt seem to work either.
I'm trying to concatenate a name and variable number. Then trace it, so answer3 should output from my loaded xml data "water". Instead all I can get to trace is the word "answer3". If I type "answer3" in the trace I get the variable im looking for. If I type [this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()] in the trace I get number 3. How do I go about concatinating the word answer and a dynamic number.
Heres my code...
Code:
trace("answer"+[this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()]);
It is possible to reference an array inside of an image file name, here's the scenario.
I have a list of images that only differ by the number at the end of the name (for example. orangeimg1.jpg, appleimg2.jpg, strawberryim3.jpg, etc. Is it possible when referencing the image that I could somehow reference the array in the file name rather than repeating the same code over and over again?
I have two different arrays set up one for fruit which has (orange, apple, stawberry) and I have another array with the numbers (1, 2, 3). I have jpg images for each of these combinations but how to I reference that in one line when I'm trying to refer to these images. I thought something like source = "[fruit].img.[number].jpg" would work
Again I've found some information on the web but it doesn't refer to how it would work if I was coding a source for my images.
The course contain ten chapters that all have to report that when a user completed them. When they all are, the status is set
to "completed" for the course. First off the theory behind it:
1. I just completed a chapter.
2. Load a string with then numbers "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0", one for each chapter. All 0's, no chapter is completed, all 1's, all chapters are completed, you get the picture.
3. Add a 1 for, lets say chapter 5, would look like this "0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0".
4. Check if the course is complete, like this: "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1", or not.
5. If complete, set status to "complete", if not, set to "incomplete".
In practice:
import flash.external,*;
String(ExternalInterface.call("LMSGetValue, "cmi.suspend_data, TheCourseStatus"));
String(ExternalInterface.call("LMSSetValue, //..add the number "1" to
[code]....
So, after this rant. How do I,
1. Get the string.
2. Add the course number/value to the string
3. Then update the string, and..
4. ..set the appropriate status.
I found out that "I need to concatenate them together with a delimiter so I can separate the string on re-entry", but I don't know how to do that.

View 9 RepliesI have a submit button that I'm pulling in from XML.
It needs to be XML because it is translated.
Therefore... the length is varying depending on the language.
I simply want to add an arrow to the end of the word using Webdings #4 (it looks like a solid arrow, not like > but solid)..
I have the following code in actionscript 3:
var async:AsyncToken;
async = bridge.retornamenu();
The bridge is a remote object, instantiated. The retornamenu() is the function that I want the remote object open in amfphp.
However the retornamenu() is a dynamic function, which turns another function, but I can not run it at runtime,
example
var stringfunction:String = "retornamenu()" // this name is dynamic.
var async:AsyncToken;
async = bridge.stringfunction;
But this way does not work, not perform the function retornamenu();
I can't for the life of me come up with anything that works...
function setCurrentCMI(id){
if (_level0.strInteraction+id==""||_level0.strInterac tion+id=="undefined") {
//does nothing, user hasn't been here yet

Is there any way to concatenate E4X expressions? If I store "half" a path in a variable, can I concatenate the way I do with Strings?

Is there any simple way to use a plus or minus operator in AS2?

I'm developing some photo viewer app for some web site in flex 3. One of the demands made by my customers is preventing of their unique visual content from copying at least by standard Windows tools ("Print Screen" button). Are there any tricky techniques capable of doing this?
The first thing occurred to me is handling "Print Screen" button of keyboard doesn't seem to be as effective as my client needs.
I stayed up all night building an application on cs5.5 that needs to keep running for up to an hour without the screeen dimming or the device going to sleep. After a lot of googling I could not find anything. Is there a way to emulate or trick the system and make it think that there is user interation ? Or is there an option I can change to make this work? I am testing on an ipod touch 4g
View 3 RepliesI'm working on the Java backend for a Flash webgame - the client and server communicate using Action Message Format (AMF). A few weeks ago, another team in our company had their product hacked by a user who decompiled the Flash client, and used an altered version to flood the backend with bogus requests. We want to prevent this kind of attack in our new game.(More details: webserver used is Tomcat, AMF client is BlazeDS.)I'd like to know what the best way to prevent this kind of attack would be. Some ideas I had:the nginx configuration seemed like the best place to handle rate limiting, but I cant find any resources on how nginx interacts with AMF. Do the AMF requests just get sent straight to Tomcat?most requests involve a userId param for the relevant user. Rate-limiting requests involving overused userIds might be one approach - however, an attacker who just wants to flood the server could easily spam random userIds.
