Basically, I would like to expose the interface of some Flash code via a textField. I can easily tokenize the string and get the method name and use eval to call the method. I am having trouble collecting the parameters and handing them to the method.[code]...

Is it possible to call a function from a string? such as if I passed the name of a function to this function, is there a command to convert the string to a function call? :
function CallSpecific(passedFunctionName:String)
I used String, but it was just a guess...
I have a class that has a timer function built into it. When this timed function is called, I would like to be able to call another function when the timer is finished (which I would do in the TIMER_COMPLETE handler).
If I pass the name of the function to my class function, could I use that string(?) to call the function at the end of my timer?
How do i go about this,
Lets say i have a variable _a:Number=5 and _b:String="_a"
I want to call a variable whose name is contained in _b
I am having an issue using a string as a key in an external call. Here's what's going down.I recieve an XML document, which gives me a list of ID's that refer to other objects in the database. When I pass that ID in as URLVariable, the backend doesn't recognize it and returns nothing.Say the ID was 124. I tried passing the string "124" as the key, and it worked, returning the proper resource. Confused, i do the following
Code:
trace(xml.id__ == "124"); // returns true
getResource(xml.id__); // returns nothing
getResource("124"); // returns correct resource
I know there are issues with using == as a comparator, but since it's returning true I figured it sees them both as the string "124" -- but why would it not work? I also tried String(xml.id__), Number(xml.id__), and some other stuff.
I am making a pretty basic flash game using AS3, its a 'fill in the blank' type. I think I basically have this code figured out, but I think I need a string variable for the 'word' part, but I've never coded that before, so I was looking for some guidance on that topic. Here is the code I have right now[code]...
View 3 RepliesI just want to ask if is it possible to call a movieclip using the String Class together with it's instance name to use gotoAndPlay() method.
I know how to use the instance name and the method but then what if I want to use a string together with the instance name and the gotoAndPlay.
on the mainTimeline if have a movieclip. inside this movieclip i have a script that loads text from database. what important note is: var myPageText: String
now if i place inside this movieclip a other label further in the time, and create a action to call out myPageText like: my_input_text.htmlText = myPageText; this works fine
now i want this to work inside a other movielip in other scene. is it possible to call myPageText???
I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.

View 2 RepliesIt is possible to call variables using this[ "stringname" ] for instance, to refer to a variable called "stringname".
However, when referencing a static variable by the name "stringname", the "this" attribute no longer works if applied.
Is it possible to use this technique with statics?
I'm wondering if its possible in flash to be able to call a static class function via its name as a string. I know for you're usual case you can do this to call the function 'func'
Code:
this["func"]();
func():void
{
trace("I'm a function");
}
However I'm wanting to do this from another static function and in a static function you obviously can't use the 'this' keyword. I've tried just omitting it, or replacing it with the class name but neither work.
I'm using the Gaia Framework to develop a website, I'm still getting used to it but it's been great so far. There's a part in a page class where I want to call certain functions to initialize some effects on every deeplink. I'm doing good, but I need to call a function through concatenating some strings. Please have a look at some code of my class and read the comments for a better understanding:
Code:
private function FUNC_que():Void{
SEC_que.b1._width = 0
stringTyper(SEC_que.t1, st1, 15, 8)
var ts2 = new TextShuffle(SEC_que.t2, st2,SEC_que.b1);

var new_content_string:String = content_string.slice( 0, -1 ); // After generating my string, I slice the last letter.content_txt.htmlText = HERE // Here is the place I want to execute my string
is there a way to execute code that is stored in a string?(i guess the operation would look something like this)

i think u can do it via XML and the CustomFunctions methods in flash... but id rather do it all in flash if possible. what i want to do is to treat a string as a line of code.
Code:
actV="trace('Red')"
someButton.onPress=function(){
actV.toCode()
}
I need to evalueate a string as code... let me show you an example...Lets say, that I have a string:
Code:
string = "Math.cos(var1)*Math.sin(var2)";
And what I need to do, it to use its contents as code and not string like here:
Code:
var3 = Math.cos(var1)*Math.sin(var2);
Since Action Script is an interpreted language, and it is clear by decompiling animations that the code is still in there, is there any function that lists the code of a function or class as a string?asically, I want to create a suite of components for developers that lets them make modifications to or at least view the code behind a component while the animation is running, and that way make it easier to find bugs, instead of having to stop the animation, dig up the code for that class, and recompile it. It would be even handier if it was possible to edit code while the code was running, so the next time Flash encounters that code, it will instead run the new code. Yes, if used unwisely, that could cause a lot of problems, but the benefit outweighs the risk, and that feature is used in such development environments such as Visual Studio.
Likely, the only solution to that would be to give each class a "code" variable, likely a String. Then when the users click the button to view that certain source, it checks for the "code" variable and displays the contents. The problem is that you have to remember to update the variable each and every time Perhaps I can write an extension for FlashDevelop that does that automatically? It could just update that variable at compile time.
I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners. I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:

I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)

I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.
I'm getting the following error message when I try to run the AS code below:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method string.
The error occurs at every instance of:
min = string(min % 60);
I think CS3 doesn't like this "string" format and that it probably different from that of CS2 in which the code was derived from.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var todayate = new Date();
var currentYear = today.fullYear();
