for (i=1; i<menuArray.length; i++) {
var menuSelect = menuArray[i]+"Open";

I am using AS 2 in Flash CS3 and XML. I have the function named in the XML file which I would like to be called via a rotating banner. However I can't seem to convert the string (read via the XML file) to convert to the function name. a trace reveals that the correct string is being called: _parent._parent._parent.loadFunction. urls[count] is the array that stores the function name. Here is the script:

There's an array, lets called it arr1. There is a switch, that pushes argument to this array, but after the switch ends, I'm stuck at join("").split("");
var arr1 = [];
switch (myString) {
case "apple": {
arr1.push("apple");
break;
}}}
arr1 = arr1.join("").split("");
I know is simple, but I never had experience with arrays in flash before, I just realized join("") was used to convert the Array to string, but isn't split reversing this?
I'm just trying to make a utility function to convert an array collection into a string.
Supose my item within the array collection (named 'ac') is something like:

I can get the items property if I use a 'for' loop like:
Code:
var acToStr:String = "";

I'm trying to convert an variable that contains XML data to a String. Anyone have a clue on how to achieve this?
My main problem is that the XML data is formatted nicely, but I need to store it in the database without the linebreaks and tab stops and whitespaces.
I think converting it into string would work with .toString();, but that doesn't get rid of the XML formatting...
Code:
function f_choosePhoto(photoNum)
{
var photos:Array = ["photo0","photo1","photo2"];

I've cobbled the AS together from a couple of seperate tutorials, and if I replace "new this[path](560, 380);" with "new photo1(560, 380);" it works.
I want to simply some repetitive code like this:
letter1.gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random()*letter1.totalFrames));letter2.gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random()*letter2.totalFrames));letter3.gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random()*letter3.totalFrames));
I want to store letter1... into a string array. so I can call all of them with a loop.
Been searching for a simple way to do this but it's not out there, or is it?
I simply need to convert a sting to an int. The string will be a number, that is a given.
So I am trying to take an XML document, load it in, then organize the elements into an array of Objects with the elements nodes as the properties of each object.All of that I am able to do so far.What is the real problem here for me is when I try to take one of the properties and try to assign it to a dynamic Textbox's .text property.I can trace the object property, but it will not go into a textbox.[code]Also, I noticed that when the code hits the first output error, it never executes the rest of the code in the changeQuestion function; or else I would have gotten more than one output error.

View 5 RepliesI have an array of string values that represent accessors to another array. I need to be able to use those to access the secondary array, so I need to find a simple way to convert the string to the actual array accessor.[code]...
However, it seems like there should be some way to cast the string into AS, that Flash can use to access the proper array, without having to do the complex string.slice statement.
Something like: var str:String = ActionScript(arr3[i]); would be much easier to type, as many times as I'm going to need it, than the .slice statements.

I was wondering if this concept is doable:
Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)
Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)
every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:
if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....
this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc
"playbutton1"._visible=false;
doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.
Is there a way to write a UTF-16 string into a ByteArray in Flash/AS3? Basically I have a string (var test:String="allan"; for example) and I would like to write that into a ByteArray with UTF-16(LE) encoding. In this case it would be "61 00 6C 00 6C 00 61 00 6E 00".
I've tried using utf16le.writeMultiByte( clipText, "utf-16" ); but it just comes out with what appears to be UTF8 (or just straight ASCII given the test string).
I need to convert a string such as "x*y+2" (from an input text field) into an expression x*y+2, so that it can be evaluated normally, eg f=x*y+2. The variables x and y are already defined and can have various values; I need to evaluate the strings as expressions.
I have tried f=Number("x*y+2") but it seems to work only when the string is actually a number such as "1.2e-4".

how do we convert string which we get by reading a XML into date type instance value???
so there is a XML which has modifiedDate as an atribute on one node of the XML and how i do put that value into a variable of date instance??
