I am importing data using xml and getting incremented data that looks like this
peopleObject.name0
peopleObject.phone0
peopleObject.image0
peopleObject.name1
peopleObject.phone1
peopleObject.image1
And now i am trying to use that information using a for statement but i do not know how i can add the incremented number at the end. I tried to add a "+i" like this

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
I've got a variable that gets incremented by 1 every five seconds. I want to be able to, (on the click of a button), grab the current value of that variable and assign that specific value to another variable.
So basically I want to pass a variable by it's value and not it's reference. How do I do that?
I am trying to set up a series of URL links inside a cycling button. However, when I try to use the variable, the link sends me to the variable name instead of the URL. Below is a snippet of the code:

I am amateur in flex, and started my final year project in flex to learn it, I am stuck in place where I have to create rows of drop down lists when the user pressed add more, E.g.: like the ones in mail attachments. I think I have found a way to generate rows, I am not even sure whether it is a correct way, how I generate the rows:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="newRow">
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{cityDropdown}">
<s:DropDownList id="newbutton" creationComplete="hotelDropdown_creationCompleteHandler(event)" labelField="Name">
<s:AsyncListView list="{getAllHotelResult.lastResult}"/>
</s:DropDownList>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Now when I generate more rows the dropdownlist ids will conflict, so I want to know a way to generate ids, I think I cant even call a function in there.
I need to make a loop that can create (and use) incremented variable names. Basically I need to dynamically create a certain number of sprites and datagrids then I need to add these dynamically created datagrids and sprites to the stage. So the static code (which works, but I think is NOT the right way to go) would look something like this (I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but this should give you the right idea):

But I can't figure out the syntax and how to make it work... This MUST be possible! My knowledge is pretty thin in actionscript,
it worked once but stopped working when I added more information into the XML database. Anyway, I have a section of my xml that has a URL it pulls in, but for some, there's not website to link to so I wanted to leave it blank. In XML, it looks like this: <url></url> I have my statement set up in the following code. The else statement works fine, but the if statement calling for nothing doesn't. Here's the code:

Using Component Inspector, I can control input dynamically. But I can't find a way to control checkboxes.

I am loading data from php using the echo method into flash via the URL loader:URLLoader method. The data then gets assigned to an objectMy problem is that the loaded data is being imported in fine and I can trace it and even display it in a text box, but if I try and use this data in a conditional statement - the statement just won't recognize its value?
My PHP---v
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo "result=success";

The variable/data being imported in is indicating which measuring unit the user preferred - "inchs" for inch's or "cms" for centimeter's.The statement never seems to recognize this data and always proves false and 'else' is executed.However if I instruct the data to be displayed in a text box eg."display.text = n.unit;" The text box displays the correct result as if the data has came across fine?
View 3 RepliesHaving a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.
why this code won't work

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.

Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?
I have a script which is giving me a lot of trouble since I have no idea how to write another "if statement" inside another if-else statement. I keep getting errors, I guess I don't know where to put the braces exactly...
example:
if(bla == bla) {
<------------how would I write another if statement here?
}else if (bla == bla){
}
I have a movieclip on the screen called "mc_bg". Within this movieclip are 7 movieclips called "barrier1" through "barrier7".From main.as I want to be able to do this call:

trace("got here")
trace(mc_bg["mc_barrier" + String(i)])

Is it possible to use a if statement with a eventlistener in it?
eg
if(myBut_btn.addeventlistener(MouseEvent.CLICK)){
[code]....
So I've been reading a lot today about the with statement performance, readability and stuff like that but i'm still not sure whether i should or should not use the with statement in AS3.
Using the with statement seems the same as creating local var which would carry the reference.
I am sending my header location to some variables in flash from my php page.For example when i am in the homepage then the header is:
&from=sitemap&product_id=1
What i want to do is tell the flash to go to one frame if it is the homepage and to another for any other value of products_id.What i have in my actionscript is this:
Code:
var prod_num = product_id;
if(prod_num == 1){
gotoAndStop("s1");
} else{
gotoAndStop("s2");
}
It is getting the product_id....but for some reason it always goes to frame name "s2".
ive got an array of cards 2-10 plus jack, queen, king, ace and i'm pulling members from the array at random--in order to score it, i decided to check the first character of the string and see if it returns a number or not.if it's a number, add the number to the score, but if it returns 'NaN' (not a number) then it will just add 10 to the score--so even tho NaN is defined as a variable in flash, somehow my if statement 'char==NaN' isn't working...

I'm using a for-statement to add a series of movieclips.
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
attachMovie("myMC", "myMC"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
Inside the movieclips I have some code. In this code I need the index-number of the movieclip. I'm staring the code off with: var indexr:Number = _root.i; The for-statement is so fast that all the movieclips get number 9 in the index-variable! Is there any trick to manage this, like can I get the index from the name in some way? Or do I have to work around it in some more or less complicated way?
Is it possible to have more than one condition on an if statement?eg. if something is black and if it is 40cm then do the following..both conditions must be fulfilled before the action can occur.
View 3 RepliesHow would you use an if statement to say if you're on a certain frame do this.
if(frame is # 2){
something = true
}
if(frame is # 1){
something = false
}
I'm about to start a game/quiz project where the user must click several buttons, one after another (though not in any special order) to answer a question:[code]Is this the right approach and way to add variables in an if statement?
View 1 RepliesI have been asked by a local web development company to code some flash banners for use with there banner ad site they are doing. I have been sent a banner to add the actionscript and also the actionscript as well. What I have is a fla doc with a button that covers the whole banner. Then on the banner I have this actionscript:-
this.masterButton_but.onRelease = function(){ if (root.Hyperlink != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else if(root.clickTag != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else{ getURL("http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=3"); } }
When I test it the compiler errors and says in the description "Statement must appear within on handler".
on my main timeline i have a movie clip called "screen" within that i have a dynamic text box for inputing a number. var for text box is txt_1
on the same timeline i have another mc called "animation" withing that i have a mc called "prizes" there are 2 animations in the prizes movie clip that are supposed to run based on the if statement...i have an action assigned to the prizes as below:
//this.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (_root.screen.txt_1 == "11111") {
prizes.gotoAndPlay('prizes1');[code]........
but this is not working...basically i want to say that is the text that was inputed was "11111" play the first prize animation inside the "prizes" mc, and if its "22222" play the second prize animation in the "prizes" mc.what am i doing wrong?
i am working on a project where i am using the attach movie to load a clip from the library..
Actionscript Code:
regionListener.change = function(){ attachMovie(_level0.frameName + cbRegions.value,"clip",2);
Now i need to hide the sample_mc that is already on stage only if a clip is loaded... on the else statement sample_mc should be visible again..So...i dont know how to say that in AS2 language...
Actionscript Code:
If clip is loaded , sample_mc._visible = false; else sample_mc._visible = true;
I keep getting the "statement must appear within on handler" error when I try to add a gotoAndPlay event to my button...
