ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Assign Object Properties To MC?
Dec 30, 2009This is a work around question:
lets say I have the following:
onstage:
this.someobject
this.someobject.x

is there a way to assign the x or y property
var xORybject;
so that the following is evaluated correctly

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Object Properties Dynamically?
Jun 21, 2007I have a custom property called Player (like a basketball player) that has properties for points per game (ppg), rebounds per game (rpg), etc.I'm designing a piece where users can get averages and compare players across many different categories.
I have a String variable "stat" that tracks which property they want to compare. I can use "stat" in a sorton function, but need to use it to access the object property. So when the user chooses "ppg" or "rpg" i can access Player.ppg and Player.rpg by using the stat variable. Player.stat doesn't work.
ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Data To Object Properties Dynamically
Feb 19, 2009When working with XML I find it best to bring in the XML document and then add the data to new objects so they can be easily referenced later. Previously I have done this by hard-coding the node names when I parse the XML and add the appropriate data to a property in my new custom object, allowing me to state what type of data it is, array, string, etc. I would really like a way to do this dynamically, so when I parse the XML it detects whether the node has children and makes an array, etc. Something was done by XML2Object in AS2.

Oct 24, 2009Is it possible to dynamically name properties on a custom object ?
something like:
Code:
o:Object = new Object();
s:String = 'abcd'; // the name I want for my objects property
o.[s] = '1234'; // 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftbracket.
trace(o.abcd) // 1234
EDIT I want to do this as an associative array, so if there is a better alternative then I'd be happy with that as well.

Sep 14, 2005Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 RepliesActionScript :: Xml - Setting Object Properties From Other Object Properties?
Jun 25, 2010i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

Jan 30, 2008I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Targeting A Path From A MC?
Jun 23, 2009I have a function and some textfields within a movieclip, and I need to reference those textfields dynamically. This worked when I'd had the TFs on the stage, but not since I've placed them in an MC.The TF naming convention works out to this:
Code:
t_t1c1r1
t_t1c2r1
t_t1c1r2
[code]....
So, to access them dynamically, I combine the letters with index numbers to be gotten through the function's arguments.
Code:
this['t_t1c'+i+'r'+ii].text;
Object(this)['t_t1c'+i+'r'+ii].text;
The numbers represented by "i" and "ii" are coming through fine in trace, but the path is still wrong. I've tried different combinations of _level0, etc., but it only works in my testing when I make an absolute reference to the field (e.g. Object(_level0.mc_instance)['t_t1c'+i+'r'+ii].text which is not a viable solution).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Dynamically Loaded Swfs?
Mar 21, 2006Having trouble targeting movieclips in a dynamically loaded swf. (Flash 8, Actionscript 2).I have a swf file, which contains a set of duplicated movieclips, that I am loading into another swf file (using the movieClipLoader() class), basically like this: "swfA" is loading into "swfB", and I have clips 1, 2, and 3, inside "swfA."I don't seem to be able to mouseover and click clips 1, 2, and 3, when "swfA" is loaded into "swfB". But when I run "swfA" on it's own, the clips are active and clickable.I've tried setting "this._lockroot = true;" at the top of "swfA", and tha in the duplicating script, but still no luck targeting the clips.I usually execute the duplicating script on the main swf (swfB), but I wanted to contain everything in a swf, thinking it might be simpler. But the targeting problem has me scratching my head.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Dynamically Created Nested Movieclips?

Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.
The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Clips On Layers - Change The Level Dynamically?
Jan 15, 2004[URL] Theres the example to work with....anyway....as you can see, im loading in movies externally...each on its OWN different level....what i want to do is make it so that when i click a menu option on the left, the current swf loaded on the stage closes and the new one comes up (to avoid the clutter of 10 differnt windows all scattered).....here are my thoughts:
1. have variables on the root timeline that are basically "currentLoaded" and "currentLevel" -- which basically will store the name of the currently loaded swf and the level that its on.
2. each swf would have code on frame one that would see if the 'currentLoaded' varible is blank, and if not...it will close the current loaded swf ....
my dilemma is that i dont know how to change the level dynamically...i know you could do the instance name like this:

Actionscript 3.0 :: Targeting The Flash Object?
Feb 2, 2010I succeeded with load external from other swfs to a stage of a main page when menu buttons are clicked. However, the main page's sub-menu buttons are not able to target the right flash objects such as movie clips from another swf (cultureContent), which is having panning background (x and y positions). The flash objects are four movie clips are in a movie clip on the stage of cultureContent. I set for that cultureContent:
// import Tween class
import fl.transitions.Tween;

This part is not working and I suspected that I may make wrong method for targeting. I looked for the right method that call swf and movieclip at the same time but I cannot find answers.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving Object Properties From Object Array?
Nov 11, 2007I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code]....
the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Movie Properties Dynamically?
Sep 3, 2003Currently I have a stage.swf (the parent) which loads child movies "inside itself" into an area called external.
Currently, for each of these movies I have to set properties in stage such as:
Movie Name,
Movie Title,
Length (how many frames)
Now, the annoying part of this is the length. If at any point I decide I want to add or remove a scene from a child, I have to reset the relevant "length" variable on stage.
what I really want to know is, is there a way that when each of the child movies load, stage can find out dynamically how many frames they have?
I can create a Movie Class to have all these variable declarations in one place, but that doesn't really solve the problem I have. I'd still have to manually go through and change variables ad hoc....
Actionscript 3 :: Targeting Specific JavaScript Object Instance From Flash
Jan 27, 2011first time poster. Let's say a have flash(swf) object on my page, and I have a specific JavaScript class (lets call it "JSClass")that works with that flash object. JavaScript class has some methods for communicating with the flash object. When the flash object is embedded in to page via swfObject, I create an instance of the JSClass, and give it the id of the flash object on the page, so that instance can specifically communicate with that flash object. I have more than one same flash file on the page, and I need to differentiate calls to specific flash objects. Something like this:

How can I call "flashControl1.onFlashReady()" from flash? Note that flash doesn't know which JSCLass instance to target. How can target particular JSClass instances from flash object.
