ActionScript 2.0 :: Casting String Gotten From Xml To A Number Type?
May 1, 2007I have parsed the data from an xml doc to global vars in flash and need to use a few of them as numbers for things the position of "nodes" on the screen. However I can not cast the data stored as a var to a number or int value.
For example in the code below when the set Node button is pressed it traces the "Node's" current X value, then the value in the global var gotten from the xml, which contains the x position of where to place the Node.
Next it creates a new var of Number Type and assigns it the Number value of the string in global var. It then traces the new value of SNtopLeftX and sets the x pos of the Node's movie clip to the value of SNtopLeftX However the Node doesn't move and this is the output I get from the traces
Start Node is at x = -734.5
nod_topLeftX is 16
TopLeftX = 16
SN TopLeftX = NaN
I do not understand why I am getting NaN when the string of nod_topLefX is 16, any ideas?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my Code
butNodeSet.onRelease = function() {
trace ("Start Node is at x = " + mcStartNode._x);
trace ("nod_topLeftX is " + nod_topLeftX);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Number Of Elements In Array - Length Property Doesn't Work
Feb 3, 2010I am using an array to return data to an application and as the array is filled with data using a loader and the order is important it happens that data in slot n is inserted later than data in slot n+1. How do I know that the array is full as I know the number of elements to be loaded? The length property doesn't work for this. I could go through the array each time I put something in and look if every slot is full but that seems ineffective.

View 4 RepliesProfessional :: Casting String To Movie Clip?
Jan 14, 2010I've been reading about this issue on the forums today, but I still don't understand what i'm doing wrong here:var theMC:String = "mcMenuItem1";var myX=[theMC];trace("myX = "+myX);myX.gotoAndStop(2);From what I've read, this should cast theMC string into a movie clip that exists on the stage, but I still get the error:TypeError: Error #1006: gotoAndStop is not a function.What am I doing wrong here? Or what is it that I've missed?
View 4 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Casting A String To Be A Resource Path?
Mar 18, 2011I have a situation where I am trying to build a path to an xml node like this:
Code:
var personName:Object = ["xmLoader.xmlData.profilepage.p"]+num+[".p1name"];
Where "num" is a number passed into to the function. What is happenning is when I trace out personName after this code I get:
"xmLoader.xmlData.profilepage.p2.p1name"
instead of the value that resides at that node name (I can trace out p1name which is John from my processed xml earlier in the code).

ActionScript 2.0 :: "Number Of A String VS Number Of A Number" AKA Conversion
Jul 14, 2011Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Width Doesn't Work - How To Make It Work
Apr 21, 2010I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

Dec 14, 2010I have a problem sending a String as a number..
I have a text field called score0 :-

The string (score0.text) will have an "s" at the end as the time is counted in seconds and tenths, so I will be receiving something along the lines of "8.1s" as a value.. I would like to take score0.text, remove the "s" then *1000 the amount as a number before use..

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Find Number Within String?
Jul 28, 2011Im looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)
