ActionScript 2.0 :: Displaying Numeric Variables - Up And Down Keys
Oct 30, 2004
I am working on a file that displays two variables, a and b. The two variables are percentages, and they both start at value 50. Now what I want to do is to display both variables, and when the user presses the 'up' key a should go up and b should go down. When the user presses the 'down' key, it should be the other way around. And a+b= always 100.
I made this little action script:
var a:Number = 50;
var bNum:Number = 50;
if(Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {
a++;
b--;
[Code] .....
Then I've made two text areas, both in their own layer. I've put them both on 'dynamic text' and where it read 'Var:', I have entered 'a' for the first and 'b' for the second. In both text areas, I entered '50'. Obviously, it doesn't work. I test the movie, and nothing happens when I press the 'up' or 'down' keys.

I'm constructing an ArrayCollection that I want to be completely dynamic. I do not want to hard-code in name/value pair values to create it. I've written up a program that grabs some XML from an exterior source and then assigns values from it. The ArrayCollection is being used as the source for a chart.
This example works, but is not reuseable:
ActionScript Code:
projects = new ArrayCollection([
{Project:"On Time", Percentage:60},
{Project:"On Time With Developer Exception", Percentage:20},
[Code]....
and the expected values are assigned in the [0] members of the variable structure. Basically it's the exact same thing, but with the values buried a level deeper. So my question is in two parts. The first is a plea for general help with this problem. The second part is in regards to the ArrayCollection's addItem function. Is it required to hard-code in the keys to the ArrayCollection? That severly limits its usefulness. Since the key appears to be interpretted as a string, even though it's assigned without double-quotes, I would think that a string variable could be used instead.

I need to display a few different variables inbetween static text in a dynamic text box. In the movie the users click on pick 1 of 3 characters and 1 of 3 backgrounds. The variables are set onRelease of the button, ie
function pickname(){
if(charSelected == "char1"){
_root.textBox.CharSelectText.text = "Nutmeg";
} else if(charSelected == "char2"){ //else if

To display their name in a tester dynamic text field with just their name in it and no static text
Underneith the images of the characters and bg's is a sentence that gets filled out after you make your choices, ie "One day, [character name] went to the [lbackground name]."
I also need to have the character name and background name different colours from the rest of the text, is there a way to hook up a css file to give just those words different properties from the rest of the text?

I have read a few tutorials about adding variables to the text within a dynamic text box. However none of them work for me. I would like the box to display the Score of a game (called Score in my code, var Score:Number = 0). I can calculate the score fine, but it is not displaying in the Box. I need to load my Level Complete screen, with the text box inside. Could i do this by creating it using AS3 every time (by defining its properties in the code), or can i add it to my library (and define its properites there) and then declare an instance of it?

whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?

This issue is my constant pain, and has set my project back some time. I'm creating a message system for my game, it's supposed to record events that happened during travel, 3 vars per message (topic, in game date, content)All the vars are in an external as file and a public class. The problem is they return blank in the mc's textfields while displaying correctly on the main timeline textfields at the same time. This is the code sitting inside the mc that doesn't work.
Code:
import Variables;
var variables:Variables = new Variables();
function setMsgSlot (e:Event) {[code]....
on the main timeline, even in the same frame, works perfectly, and i can't figure out why.

I have a question regarding ActionScript 3.0 and using buttons to change numeric values in a Flash project. I am trying to create a program that adds and subtracts numbers when buttons are clicked. Here is the code that I have written for the first button that I want to use:
Code:
//Number values//
var withdraw = 0;
Amount_total.text = withdraw;
[Code]....
However the problem I have is that the K200disp text only displays 1,2,5,10,15 etc while the Amount_total text seems to randomly display 200 or lots of 0s!

In my flex 3.5 project, I have a class (MyItem) extending Canvas. In this I have declared a private variable named itemInfo which is type of ItemInfo (which is another subclass of Canvas).
I wrote code to hide/show the iteminfo when the mouse is over/out of MyItem. I am not getting any error but it is not showing the itemInfo as expected, when debugged the code, surprisingly the variables tab in debug window does not have the variable itemInfo at all.
I have declared a dummy:int variable and it is also not visible.

In one of my Action Script 3 projects I need to create package names having numerics in them. For example I am writing one of the package name as com.projectname.activity101.view.*
My query is whether it is okay to have numerics in the package name as in the above example. I am asking this query as once working with Flash 7 I had used the package name ending in number that gave me some issues. When I changed the package name to have only alphabets in it the issue was resolved.

nTest = 1 //numeric
sTest = " test" //string
sFinal = nTest & sTest //string
I get an error with this, because sFinal is a string, and im tryin to put in an numeric value. How can I create this code so that it will work? I want the sFinal to contain "1 test". This code is useless, I know, but this is just an example.

I am trying something where I have 2 Numeric Steppers. One numeric stepper holds values from 0-230 and the other from 0.00-0.99. My question is how to change the value of the first numeric stepper when the second numeric stepper goes from 0.99 to 0.00. Suppose the first numeric stepper has a value 10 and the second numeric stepper is being incremented continuously. As it reaches 0.99 and on mouse up on the up arrow, 10 should change to 11 and this numeric stepper goes to 0.00.

I am loading data from an xml file into several different arrays. Once its all information is in the arrays I then sort one of the arrays (called percentage) numerically from highest to lowest. What I can't figure out is how to reflect the changes in position in the other arrays to what has happened in the percentage array.

Is there a way to extract a numeric value from my variable using concatination.
var i:Number = 1;
var test1value:Number = 3;
trace(this["test"+i+"value"]);
I tried all kinds of tricks but I just can get the string name of the variable instead of the value it holds.
