I'm trying to express this syntax:
Code:
container0.picture._alpha = 0;
by looping through a variable named "p", like this:
Code:
["container"+p]picture._alpha = 0;
But I get no result (and no error message).
using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.
I have taken a bottle of Excedrin due to the headache I've developed from this problem I am having. I have some variables:

the following script brings me a problem:
w = this["ha", "hb", "hc", "hd" ];
w.onPress = function() {
myClip._visible = true;
}
How to assign to variable "w" values from the square bracket that are separated by comas to be assigned either one of them and not only the last value "hd". In this case whichever value is pressed makes myClip visibility true.

whats the correct syntax for declaring a variable thats name changes according to a different variable.
I'm trying to build a little question/answer program in flash using XML data as the source of information.I'm trying to build it in such a way that I only have to alter the XML, not the .as files.So, for example, I have

After I run it gives me these two errors : Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 25 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon. Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 27 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon. Also in the output tab I get these errors : ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TLFTextField is not defined. ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined. I've been trying to figure this out for about 30 minutes but wasn't able to.
I'm sure it's possible I'm just writing it wrong. Can anybody clue me in the correct way of writing it? I get compiler errors this way...
ActionScript Code:
for(b=0; b<=15; b++)

var ["ping" + b]:Boolean = false;

So I'm trying to clean up some banners I've worked on to put in my portfolio online, and the banner itself sits inside a "shell", so when called for, it loads into an empty mc. This is actually the method I prefer instead of loading it into levels. That's the setup, here's the problem.The banner itself has some repetitive action set up through a variable that if a certain action happens 3x, then move on to the next sequence and play out the rest of the timeline, otherwise go back and do the action until it occurs said 3x.
That part works fine. What happens at the end is that the variable hasn't "cleared", so once it hits the final frame, without doing anything or clicking on the "replay" button, it goes back to the first frame, and as a matter of fact, the action starts playing automatically instead of when the user clicks the "go" button.On an odd occurrence, when this has occurred within the shell of my portfolio link, it causes everything in the shell to "act screwy", playing everything at a faster frame rate, (that may be unrelated), but also making the main flash movie shell start from the very beginning.Like I said, I worked on this project, though I didn't do all the coding, so the part with the variable and how it affects the rest of the playback I can't control, nor know the first thing of how to fix it, (though I've tried).
Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
if (userWord.text == word){
score = score + 1;
trace(score);
}
That will constantly add one to "score" when a certain word is typed into a text box. How do I add one to "score" without stopping the application or playing it once?
I would like to create a collection of movieclips in the main timeline, but would like to declare them in a loop instead one by one, something like this:

var ["mc"+zz]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
Instead:[code].....
I know that my sample doesnt work,
In the new Flash CS5 Actionscript editor, there's a bug with the auto close bracket. If I have an existing pair of brackets, when I hit the Return key in the same line as the opening bracket, the editor automatically inserts a closing bracket even when it is not needed. However if I press Return on the line after the bracket, it will not close the bracket. I don't seem to experience this in Flash Builder. One possible way is to disable the auto close bracket option but I find the auto close bracket is useful despite the slight annoyance mentioned above. I expect the editor would be able to detect if there's already a closing bracket and not insert a new one.
View 1 RepliesI've seen the embed tag used before the class definition, but I just saw that Keith is using these..

Is there an extension or mod available to allow Flash CS3 have bracket highlighting? I just think it would be very useful and save split seconds of confusion.

I have to take a number and figure out which "tier" it falls into.For example, let's say I have a table that has three tiers "economy" "typical" "deluxe". From 0-12 is economy, 13-20 is typical, 21-30 is deluxe. My actual table has many more levels, but this is the concept.
What's the fastest and easiest way to do that? I was going to use a switch statement starting with the highest, but it doesn't look like that can be done
This is a snippet of my code which is giving me

What I'm trying to do is create a an array from the amount of "players" and then for each player in the array, add another array into each level of the array that has 3 levels which are all set to '0'. When I remove: var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0]; the error stops.
ActionScript Code:
public var players;
public var playerScoreArray:Array;
public function gameSetup() {
var playerScoreArray = new Array(players);
for (var i = 0; i < players; i++) {
var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0];
playerScoreArray[i] = scoreArray[i];
}}

I have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"];
Rather than:
this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void
{
if(!isTokenable(property))
_tokenables[property] = true;
}
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String
{
_token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

View 1 RepliesI've got a for loop and some fuctions working, but can't get one line of code to work. The red line below is what I'm having a hard time with. I'm calling a function called "moveit". If I insert moveit(x1, y1); then it works, and my movieclip is moved to the x and y positions that I specified for item #1. Though I want it to work for 10 items (I only have coordinates for two here, and will add the rest later).
I've searched my ActionScript book and just can't figure out what the syntax should be for calling that function.
