ActionScript 2.0 :: Basing A Numeric Variable On A Loaded Variable?
Dec 21, 2009
Working in AS2, using CS3 Flash Pro I've simplified this to just the one little thing I'm trying to do.
countervariables.txt has this text in it:
[Code]...
The trace shows itemsPerMili as 'NAN' and totalForYear as 'undefined'. I know itemsPerMili yields 'Not A Number' because totalForYear comes up undefined, but oddly, the loaded variable does show up correctly in a dynamic text field assigned to the variable. I don't understand why it should show up in the dynamic text field correctly when it won't trace.
I want to see the number "3.80517503" in my trace for itemsPerMili.

Why can't I assign a numeric value to a variable from a variable in a text file?
text file contains HowManyBands=3
actionscript is as follows:
loadNumVar = new LoadVars();
var NumOfBands:Number = new Number();
loadNumVar.load("Performers.txt");
[Code]...
within the if statement, the trace reports 3, however, if I try to use the variable later or trace it in the next frame of my video, it thinks it's 0. How can I get the Variable to hold onto the value throughout my animation?

An onLoadProgress listener object is returning a variable I am using to tell the user what percentage of the movie has been loaded. I am happy with the results of
Code:
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(empty10MC:MovieClip, loaded:Number, total:Number):Void{
//setText();
var percent:Number = loaded/total*100;
loadingTxt.text = beginTxt + percent + endTxt;
however the number returned is like 15 digits long! Is there any way I can limit the variable to display only 1 or 2 decimal places?

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

Is it possible for my swf to get a variable value from the url in which its loaded?
Example: If 'mypage.swf' is loaded in 'mypage.html' and its url looks like this:[URL]...then, is it possible to get the value of 'myvariable' from inside swf?I tried using this code on the first frame of my swf:
Code:
var myurl= this._url.split("?myvariable=");
var urlvalue=myurl[1];
... but it shows undefined

I have a problem accessing a variable loaded from another swf. Actually the variable is a singeltone class, which needs to be initialized.It has structure presented in the last part of the message.The project has the following structure:
- main.swf - this loads all the other swf files and is their holder.
- assets.swf - contains some common elements and initializes the SingleTone class
- interface.swf - contains some interface elements and needs to use the SingleTone class
- all the three swf files have access to a common class structure, where the SingleTone class is defined.
Now, the problem I have is accessing the SingleTone class from the interface.swf file. If I try to send the SingleTone.singleTone. property parameter to the class I get "Type coercion failed: cannot convert from ClassName@.. to ClassName". If I try to access the SingleTone class directly from the interface.swf file i get "Cannot access a property or reference of a null object...". Both errors I get seem logical:
- if I send a parameter, I send the reference to that object, but the interface.swf file does not have access to the assets.swf domain;
- if I try to access the SingleTone class directly from the interface.swf file, I get the null error because the class is not initialized over the interface.swf domain.
Is there any work arround? I know a simple solution may be to initialize the variable over the interface.swf domain, but what if there is a variable that can only be instantiated in the assets.swf? Can I access that variable from another swf, or can I change the ApplicationDomain?

I am trying to place a condition statement so that it will only do an action if the swf loaded into the varaible is the same or empty. I start of with loading the sample1.swf into the movieclip swf_holder
Code:
var loadSwf:Loader = new Loader();
swf_holder.addChild(loadSwf);
loadSwf.load(new URLRequest(sample1.swf));
loadSwf.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
In order for me to get the sample1.swf to play, I create a variable so that I can just call on it

Seems simple and I've searched but can't find the answer to this simple problem.
Loading map-.swf into main.swf. I want to use a variable from main inside map-1 to indicate which xml file to load.
First problem, I'm coming to AS3 and if a variable isn't declared, then errors, can't compile. So do I have to declare this variable in both swf files?
And well I've tried declaring the variable in the loaded swf and it still doesn't work.[code]...

i am using claudio's scrollbar to scroll an rss feed (compiled into an XML file). i have a variable h2 which is equal to the height of a box within the movie clip containing the scrolling content. the height of the box is equal to the maxscroll of the externally loading XML file. the box *does* resize properly (tested with trace), but only after the variable h2 is already defined... so variable contains the original size of the box and not the new size. how can i get the variable to update so that the entire external file can be seen with the scroller?

I have been playing with this for a day and haven't been able to figure out the proper path to load this variable.So I have a main movie, a menu (movie clip) in it, and each menu option loads an external swf in a movie clip instance (called content) in the main movie.Loading the movies works fine.My problem is I want assign a variable that I have declared in a loaded movie in the 'content' instance.
Main Movie

- Menu (MC)
-onrelease -loads movie.swf, assigns defaultpage var a value

Here is the onrelease code I'm using
on (release) {
this._parent.content.loadMovie("company.swf"); //this works
this._parent.content.defaultpage = "somevalueinhere"; //this doesnt

I'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected. My question is, how can I pass the variable so that the resulting line of code doesn't have the quotes around the variable value.
var playnoyes='true';

I want to declare a variable on the main timeline that can be called from anywhere in my movie. So, _global var should be the right approach. I want to declare a movie clip 'MC1' "open", or "closed" so that when it is revisited, my flash file knows the user has been there before and performs a different task from the one it does when 'MC1' was first encountered. So, i need a 'if' statement to run from the variable, when the playhead encounters the movieClip.

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.

I'm still learning flash and actionscript 3 and i am having trouble with variable and object names. I need to be able to combine variable names together (in the same way as php can combine by doing var1.var2).
My swf contains 4 loaders (image1_loader, image2_loader etc..) which are a child of (image1_content, image2_content etc.....)
I then have 4 buttons which load an image into the loader and while doing so they define the currently active loader.
Finally i have 4 control buttons - scale up/down and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise which should only control the currently active loader (as set by the buttons above)[code]...

I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

So my buttons as well as loading the image have the event listener:
image1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrentSelection);
image2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrentSelection);
(and so on..)
function setCurrentSelection(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]...
So within the rotateClockwise and rotateAntiClockwise functions i need to be able to recognise which is the currently active loader and have that number instead of the X - so if it is image1_loader - it needs to be image1_content, if 4 - image4_content... I had tried to do it as this but it doesn't like it being a string:
rotateAroundCenter((activeLoader+'_content'), 10, ptR);

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
