ActionScript 2.0 :: Comparing Values From XML To Variables In Flash?
Dec 8, 2009
I've got an xml file that contains some data (which will be created by an external file later on in the project) and i want to be able to check the data in that XML file against a variable stored in flash.
If the value in the XML is equal to or greater than the value in the variable i want to jump to a different frame. If the xml value is less that the variable value i want it to stop and tell the user a message. i've included my code below. I just cant get it to work. Regardless of if the value in the XML file is higer or lower than the variable in flash, it always continues to the final frame instead of stopping accordingly.
ActionScript
Code:
//Load xml file that contains amount of cash user has and populate cash_txt box with amount
function loadXML(loaded) {
[Code]....

I need to be able to compare the number of whole days between two dates in ActionScript, is this possible? I'd like to test if one date is 7 days or less after today, and if so is it one day or less (if it's before today this also counts).The workaround I have in place is using the .time part of the date field:
// Get the diffence between the current date and the due date
var dateDiff:Date = new Date();
dateDiff.setTime (dueDate.time - currentDate.time);[code].....
As I say - this is only a workaround, I'd like a permanent solution to allow me to check the number of whole days between 2 dates. Is this possible?

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this problem. I have 2 unsorted arrays that need to be compared, array2 must contain all elements of array1 and array2 can any number of extra elements without affecting the result. I don't see any benefits from sorting the arrays and comparing the string values as array2 can have extra information causing noise.

I'm having a problem with the supposed AI that I've created for a card game that I'm making. The purpose is to have the function meant for 'player 2' to run after the human player has put down a card. What the function is supposed to do is to compare the value of the card which is stored in a array, and then according to the value assigned the AI is supposed to compared with the 4 cards in its hand and decide on which is the best possible card to pick. Though the human player's code seem to work as expected, for some reason the function for the computer did not run and instead churned out a huge chunk of data in the output. I will attach 2 separate text files; one will include the portion of the code which I highly suspect is giving the problem, the second will be the supposed error message.

I'm working with 2 global variables and I need to compare them on 6 different button function clicks for a lot of different scenarios.[code]My function is starting to look like this;[code]only problem i see is that there are many different scenarios and this if statement could get very long. Is there a way to combine it somehow so there wouldn't be that many else if's?

For login I need to compare two variables. One of the variables (passw) is loaded dynamically. The other one (pw) is set by a form the user hast to fill. I wrote the following code on a button in the frame where the user hast to type his password (passw is already loaded from a textfile):
on (release) {
if (pw == passw) {
gotoAndStop(4);
} else {
gotoAndStop(3);
}}
In frame 3 I wrote: "wrong password", code is stop ()
In frame 4: "welcome user", code is stop()
I tried half an hour to fix that but I always get "wrong password".
One more question: is a movie loaded with loadMovie(...) able to work with variables set in the main movie (in which I loaded it)?

I am making a scoreboard. On this scoreboard I will have 10 different scores. I want to compare the 10 scores and list the top 3 scores in another location. I was thinking at first
if(score1>score2&&score1>score3&&score1>score4 etc.....){
some function
}
But this will only give me the top score in the group. I would like to find the top 3 scores, and then list them.

I'm trying to compare two array variables and combine if they do. This is what I have in mind: (it's inside a "for")
Code:
var people:String;
if (arr[i + 1][0]==arr[i][0]){
people = arr[i + 1][6]+", "+arr[i][6];
[code]....
The "i + 1" obviously do not work.

var q4:Boolean = false; //Will have thirty-eight of these, q4-q41
function noRepeat() {
if (q(_root._currentframe) == true) {
gotoAndStop(randRange(4, 41));
} else if ((q(_root._currentframe)) == false) {
q(_root._currentframe) = true;
}
}
Now, my problem is the bits in red (yes, I know they don't work, that was just the best way I could think to describe what I wanted).
If I create a string that says "q4" then I find it won't compare that to the boolean variable, but I'm positive there must be a better way than putting one of these on every frame.

I'm trying to make use of a given value from an XML node into Flash as a variable,
Code:
<image>(image link)</image>
<category>M</category>
basically extracting the value from the "category" tag. This is based on the XML Slideshow gallery tutorial on Kirupa. There doesn't seem t be anything wrong with my XML file as all the images load up as it should. The values of the category tag is either A, B, C or D. I traced (category[p]) and got the correct value tagged with the image in XML to show up in Output, but I can't seem to use that in an if statement like

I meant to call it "Convert a value to a variable". Using CS3, AS2: If I have a variable that's a string value = the name of another variable, can I extract the value and then look for the extracted value's matching variable name to get it's value?
Ex:
color = "blue"
box = "color"
(Assuming I don't know the value of box) How would I get the value of "box" out so I could search for the value "color" as if it were a variable? I need to convert a value to a variable name is what i'm getting at... I think.

I think this is very simple but I'm obviously missing something. I want to insert input data from Flash into a database through a PHP file but although I seem to be able to create new records in the db through this script, no actual data (in this case the value of a variable called "nombre") is recorded. What am I doing wrong? Here is the AS3 script:
[Code]...
This myVariables.nombre = name_txt.text; doesn't seem to be working although a new record is created in the db. The textfield is correctly named and everything but.

My intention is to have an array with several variables, each one with a different name, all of them of the type 'Number'. This I can do.What I can't do is to access the variables using the array's index.
Paste this on your frame 1:
Code:
trace("======at frame 1======");
//objects//
var objects:Array = new Array();
[code]....
As you can see, the code is changing the value of the array element and not the value of the variable inside the array element.

I'd like to know if there's anyway I can compare two BitmapData and get a "similarity percentage" (knowing how look-alike they are). I've done a bit of research and came across bitmapData.compare(otherBmd), but that only returns if they differ in size, or pixel, and not how much they differ. The point of this was to compare some Bmd obtained through a camera with a library image (so this is what I got so far):
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var img1:BitmapData = new monaLisa();
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var video:Video = new Video(camMock.width,camMock.height);
video.attachCamera(cam);

I am attempting to create what I call an 'On Air' rotator for a radio station. I would like to pull in an image file for each program when it is on air. I have the following AS 3 code that seems to work:

var day = now.getDay(); // Returns integer between 0 and 6
var hour = now.getHours(); // Returns integer between 0 and 23

The weekday programming is the same every day. We have some programs that are three hours in length. I would like to cut down on the number of statements I write. I am unsure how to combine the weekdays and have a range of hours in one conditional statement. Will the following work?
if (day >= 0 && day <= 4 && hour >= 6 && hour <= 10)
I'm attempting to express the condition "if the day is Monday through Friday and the hour 6 am to 10 am"

I am looking for a quick and easy way to store variables in a text file, rather than use amfphp to connect to a database all I need to do is increment values every time a button is clicked. Would be better if all the vars were in the same text file but if I have to have one per var that would be ok.

I have a program that uses a document class. The preloader.swf calls the main.swf. Problem is, the main swf uses FlashVars to set certain parameters. If I use preloader.swf to load the main.swf, FlashVars will no longer work.
So I need some way for preloader.swf to pass the FlashVars to the rest of the program.

how subclasses,instances,and inheritance work. The below code isn't actual project code, it's theoretical code, generalized to a simplistic level so that we can talk about the big issues.Let's say I have animals_app.fla, with a "Dog" class MC and a "Cat" class MC. Both "Dog" and "Cat" are subclasses of "Animals"; animals_app.fla uses document class "Main".
Intuitively, I think Animals should declare that every subclass should have some animalSpecies, and each subclass will define the value of its own animalSpecies. It wouldn't make sense for Animals to provide any default value, because it will always be different per subclass. Is this correct? I had tried out some code similar to that below, and was perplexed because it seemed like whenever a subclass tried to define a value for its own animalSpecies variable, it was actually changing the value of the variable in the Animal class, but that's not what I want. How do I rewrite this code so that each subclass defines the values of variables it inherits from its superclass, without altering the superclass? And how would I define the value of variables for each instance of a class, so that I'm only changing the values of that instance, without altering the subclass?
Animals.as
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]..........
Also, conventionally, what should be in my Main class? Only the addChild code which attaches MCs to the stage? Or should the values of variables be defined in Main? What am I missing? I recently read Foundation Game Design with Flash and didn't feel like the explanation was sufficient. I've tried scouring the web for OOP tutorials, but they're either too basic or too far over my head.where I should be defining values of variables for classes, subclasses, and instances?

I am building a custom shopping movie for a client. He sells wine and champagne glasses with customizable bracelets. He wants customers to first choose either a 2,4, or 6 pack of glasses, and then individually choose bracelets. My problem is I don't know enough AS to code the functions.
For instance, when a customer first orders 2 glasses, it adds them to the cart, and then sends them to a new frame of the movie, with pictures of the 4 possible bracelets and a text field below for quantity, each with a default value of 0. They can choose 2, and only 2, bracelets by adding a "1" to their desired text fields.
First off, I want nothing to happen until they add a "1" to 2 separate fields. Once they have done that, a specific 'add to cart button' needs to pop up, that will getURL the proper link to add that bracelet combo to the cart.The code, which is wrong, that I am using so far is this:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
if (AS2 + B2 + R2 + SL2 < 2)
