ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Access Clip._alpha Through A String Var
Jan 7, 2011
I was trying to make a menu for a game, (and I succeded, it works fine) when I noticed that if I store a clip name in a string var I can't I acess it's alpha with varName._alpha (?) or some other ways I tried.
Is there anything wrong in my code, or is there a way to do it that isn't the one I'm trying?
The way I'm doing it, I have a MovieClip for each screen, that in turn contains all the MovieClips and Buttons, etc, that each screen must contain. So sometimes I must specify the path to things with "_root.MovieClipName.thatThing._blah". Although I think this has nothing to do with my problem there, since the vars are all declared in the stage's timeline...
If you don't quite understand how the functions work, here's a call swapScreen function example: swapScreen("overlap", "OptionsScreen", "options");
If "swap", it removes the screen I'm in, and attaches another one in place. If "overlap" it overlaps the current screen with an overlaper screen (like opening the Options menu ingame). restoreScreen() restores to the previous screen that has been overlapped.
ActionScript Code:
function swapScreen(swapType:String, ID:String, screen:String):Void
{
if (swapType == "swap")
{

I have a movie clip (dnk) 7 (not key!)frames long, with 7 different objects (mc's) inside, named dnk0-dnk6.Then, on the mc (dnk) I have:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
strDnk = "dnk"+(_currentframe-1);
alpha = getProperty(strDnk, _alpha);[code]...
So, the idea is, to have this mc's (dnk0-dnk6) fading one after the other in a sequence. Which happens as it is supposed to, but what I am trying to do now, is reverse it. With no luck, as you can see from the top script .I was thinking about a solution in a way of telling when _alpha is below 0, than the _alpha would start to rise, until it reaches a hundred, then it would start to fall again.

It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example

In AS2, you used to be able to access an array using a string variable by putting it in [].[code]...
Is there a way to do this in AS3 without having to create pointers and references?

Is it possible to access a certain digit in a string? For example, if i currently had a value '321' then if i clicked on a button for example it changed the 2nd digit in the string to say 5...making it '352'.
This is probably really easy to do but im not sure how to do it!

Is there a way to access a variable via a String? Something like this:
HTML Code:
var myVar1:Int = 1
var myVar2:Int = "myVar1" as variable name
This is obviously doesn't work (and in this case pointless), but is there a way to do this?

I'm not having luck setting alpha values with _parents that contain child textFields created dynamically. The text filed doesn't change its _alpha with the other objects in the movie clip.

I have this code. It works fine when i press a button.
if (_root.mc._alpha == 100) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 50;[code]....
I need to know how can I trace the _alpha value of the mc and when the value is 0 a movie clip is loading in the same mc.

Using e4x in flex:
var attr : String = "foo";
var xml : XML =
<resultSet>
<node foo="1"/>
</resultSet>;
How can I use the variable "attr" to access
xml.node.@foo
I thought I could do it with
xml.node.@[attr]
But this doesn't seem to work. How can I access this attribute by a dynamic value like this?
Both
xml.node.@[attr];
and
xml.node.attribute(attr);
work, as Constantiner suggested.
Updates:
Say I have an XMLList in this form:
var bar:XML =
<resultSet>
<node>value</node>
</resultSet>;
I want to filter the original xml above by matching "foo" attributes with the "value" from node in bar.
Essentially I want a sublist of the original xml such that
xml.node.@foo == bar.value
for each xml row in the original value
As Constantiner mentioned, I can filter the original list by the value in foo, but what if I want to filter on multiple values?
Can I do something like:
xml.node.(bar.node.contains(attribute(foo)) ? attribute(foo) : null);
Or perhaps a cleaner method instead of the null?

Now one of the functionality that's added to the player is the "Transcript Button", which shows subtitles in a small window.Well, what I've done is added text on keyFrames of the main timeline,so if the audio says "Hello good evening, welcome,....", I've made a new layer above the audio layer and during that particular part of audio I've added the text on the new layer in a keyFrame.I've done this for the entire timeline.I've used enterFrame and accessed this String value and displayed it in the small window.Everything seems to work well.But if a certain movieClip popup is added on the timeLine, which has its own audio.o necessarily I'll have to add the text to this movieClip as well, but I cant access the text, i.e, display it in the small window.Also I've tried using a global variable like this,...

I'm trying to create a quick access to a object with a String as it's key, so I wrote:
"var map:Object = {};
map["key1"] = object1;
map["key2"] = object2;
..."
Is there any difference about the performance between long key and short key(the length of the String used as a key)? If the key contains many charactors, will it slow down when accessing that object?

I'm developing a compiler generator in actionscript 3 with flash builder 4. I need to find a way to:
1.- Execute code inside of a string.
it could be very complex code, not just trace() functions but complete code
2.- Another alternative can be to tell to the actionscript compiler to compile the code autogenerated from my compiler generator.

I'm using AS2 (Flash 8), and I created a subclass of MovieClip - Card and attached an instance to the stage using attachMovie. However, I can't seem to make it invisible using _visible. Using _alpha works, however, but I would like to use _visible instead. where the problem might be? Here's the relevant code:

I have created a movieClip and placed two dynamically created text fields within it. These fields use embedded fonts and work when I first add text and the format to themThe issue I'm having happens when I change the _alpha of the containing movieClip to 0. After that I can not get the text to appear again, even though the _alpha on the containing clip traces out to 100.I am not using the tween class on the textFields or containing clip to achieve the _alpha. I am however using the tween class elsewhere.

I'm trying to fade a piece of text that I'm loading via XML in and out (as well as moving it's location in and out).* The fade out part is working fine, and as long as I have a _alpha.100 command where I'm currently calling my "slidein" function (really the fade in function) it works fine. No idea why! I've tried about 100 different placements and I'm stumped.. It's very perplexing.*

I have a dynamic text box and i want to mask it but its not working. i remember once someone was showing me something that had to be done to a dynamic text box to get _alpha effects on them and I wonder if its the same thing. Problem is, I don't know what that "thing" is.
