I am running an if statement to determing whether the data entered by a user is a number or a combination of letters and/or numbers. How could I determine whether the data is just numbers? Like:
PHP Code:
if (textbox == notanumber) {
do something
}
I have tried using NaN and "undefined" without much success.
I want to implement paging in a spark text area. For that I want to find out the number of lines a spark textArea can hold before the scrollbars appear and just feed that much lines to the text area.
View 3 Replies- I have an array of ~200 buttons. - Each button pulls individual info from a file online:
/routes/801/
/routes/802/
/routes/803/
...- My pseudocode looks something like this:
Code:
var myURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/routes/"+butNum);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, infoLoaded);
[Code]....
My problem is this: Let's say the user clicks 5 buttons. Since data doesn't load immediately, I can't assume infoLoaded is being called in the same sequence in which the user clicks the buttons, but I need to know which file just loaded. Is there a property I can get from ev:Event so it'll give me the URL I used to load myURLLoader?
Any algorithm to see how many different variations there are within a set of data... For example, if I had:
1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 1 1 4
The algorithm could figure that there are 4 different "types". I don't mean 4 numbers, because there are obviously more, but 4 varieties; of course, how to go about count how many of the different types.

View 2 RepliesI have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?

View 10 RepliesI have used a trick which has worked fine so far in our company's project.here how it works:
NOTE:
If you want to use AS1, ignore my soloution and just use isDown("18") with combination of othjer keys.
if you want to use AS2, you can not use isDown("18") in AS2.
if you want to use AS3 read the following:
1) Trap Alt keys using .isDown("18") in a SWF published as ActionScript 1.0;
3) In a SWF (AS 1.0) defined your keys like (All the letters you need, ex: A,B,...) with combination with Alt
4) Create a SWF published as Action Script 3.0.
5) Create an instance of the Local Connection Class available in SWF(AS 3.0)
6) Create an instance of the Local Connection Class available in SWF (AS1.0)
7) Talk between AS1 and AS3 using the local connection
NOTE: In order for your key combination to happen only once but not continusly, you need to do a trick like the following: THIS IS Action Script 1.0 SWF
stop();
var lastKey = 0; var keyListener = new Object(); var sending_lc = new LocalConnection(); var resetFromAS3 = new LocalConnection();[code].........
I need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.

View 5 RepliesI am currently putting together a simple game where people have to pass my tests to join a club. At the end I would like them to be given a unique name. I imagine this could be done if I make 3 lists of 50 words, and right a piece of code that randomly selects one word from each list to create a unique combination almost every time. I am using actionscript 2 because I am fairly novice and this is about as complicated as my code is going to be, but is this to bigger job for action script 2?

Can an action be initiated through pressing a key combination? Here's a snippet instructing a MovieClip to move right when SHIFT+Z are pressed...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, testFn);
function testFn(event:KeyboardEvent){
if(event.keyCode == 16 && 90){
dot.x += 5;
}
}
Only the first key is recognized, i.e. the dot moves when SHIFT only or SHIFT+Z together are pressed; the swf's ignoring the second key.
The objective is when user clicks on any combination of 2 buttons you would then gotoAndPlay a new page based onthe two specific buttons you have selected? Ideally user would be able to intermix the button combinations. Code below only works for two specific buttons, but doesn't allow to intermix button clicks.

I've followed the thread there: [URL]
I understand that this class allow the script to detect when keys are pressed in combination.
But what is exactly the implementation when a key is used both in single and combination states. Let's say that you've the "q" key used alone and "shift-q"...how would one proceed to achieve this detection?

I have a movie clip = circle
When the user clicks the circle I want the user to be able to drag and drop a new instance ie circle1.This whole process needs to be repeatable.......ie next time user clicks the original circle ie circle the code must know the last instance number ie circle1 exists and when the user clicks circle that circle2 is created dragged and dropped.....so on and so on.
This is easy you may say - duplicatemovie and startdrag etc........the problem is that when the user clicks on the original circle the mouse focus is on the original circle and not the new instance just created ie circle1 which then needs to be dragged and dropped.Just to complicate things the user needs to be able to delete a circle at any time by using the keyboard 'del' key.

how can I add number to a current variable in actionscript. My variable has data coming though php(numeric data) so I want to create an if statement to say this:
If the data number(let's use 5) is equal to 5+any number then do something.
Should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out right now, how can I say "any number" with code?
ActionScript Code:
if(myVar == myVar+1){
//do something;
}
Thing is the + number is uknown... so + 1 may not work cause the number may be higher than 1.
I'm having a total brain freeze this Monday morning... ugh. Anyhow. I'm trying to convert a string from an XML file to a number so that I can use it in equations. It isn't working. What is the proper syntax to do that?
This is the relevent code:
Code:
xArray[z] = xmlNode.childNodes[z].childNodes[2].firstChild;
xDest = xArray[0];
trace(Number(xDest))
Not working, it returns NaN. What stupid mistake am I making?
