ActionScript 2.0 :: [F8] Shortening An 'if' Statement With 'for'?
Jan 9, 2010
at the minute I have an array which holds 6 elements, each of these elements change depending on a series of 6 buttons pressed on stageI have a 'if' statement that checks if certain elements in the array have change, there are 4 different combinations that I want to trace as correct. I can do this fine, but I will need to develop this to be able to accept 90+ different combinations and I dont want to write out a massive if statement listing all the possiblites, can anyone help me write the current 'if' statment I have it to neater code that I can then expend in the future
Code:
row0 = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
onEnterFrame = function(){
[code].....

I've got two functions running that change the colour of certain objects within my stage. I'm wondering if I can combine them into one which would half the code (and eventually quarter the code because I'm planning on adding two more colours).

Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code
[Code]...
I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out

what I'm trying to do is create an else if argument for each object in an array based on a user set number
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?

I have a script which is giving me a lot of trouble since I have no idea how to write another "if statement" inside another if-else statement. I keep getting errors, I guess I don't know where to put the braces exactly...
example:
if(bla == bla) {
<------------how would I write another if statement here?
}else if (bla == bla){
}

So I've been reading a lot today about the with statement performance, readability and stuff like that but i'm still not sure whether i should or should not use the with statement in AS3.
Using the with statement seems the same as creating local var which would carry the reference.

I am sending my header location to some variables in flash from my php page.For example when i am in the homepage then the header is:
&from=sitemap&product_id=1
What i want to do is tell the flash to go to one frame if it is the homepage and to another for any other value of products_id.What i have in my actionscript is this:
Code:
var prod_num = product_id;
if(prod_num == 1){
gotoAndStop("s1");
} else{
gotoAndStop("s2");
}
It is getting the product_id....but for some reason it always goes to frame name "s2".

ive got an array of cards 2-10 plus jack, queen, king, ace and i'm pulling members from the array at random--in order to score it, i decided to check the first character of the string and see if it returns a number or not.if it's a number, add the number to the score, but if it returns 'NaN' (not a number) then it will just add 10 to the score--so even tho NaN is defined as a variable in flash, somehow my if statement 'char==NaN' isn't working...

I'm using a for-statement to add a series of movieclips.
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
attachMovie("myMC", "myMC"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
Inside the movieclips I have some code. In this code I need the index-number of the movieclip. I'm staring the code off with: var indexr:Number = _root.i; The for-statement is so fast that all the movieclips get number 9 in the index-variable! Is there any trick to manage this, like can I get the index from the name in some way? Or do I have to work around it in some more or less complicated way?

How would you use an if statement to say if you're on a certain frame do this.
if(frame is # 2){
something = true
}
if(frame is # 1){
something = false

I have been sent a banner to add the actionscript and also the actionscript as well. What I have is a fla doc with a button that covers the whole banner. Then on the banner I have this actionscript:-
this.masterButton_but.onRelease = function(){ if (root.Hyperlink != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else if(root.clickTag != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else{ getURL("http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=3"); } }
When I test it the compiler errors and says in the description "Statement must appear within on handler".

I have FLV files that continue playing when I leave the frame that they are on. I can stop the playing FLV by putting this code on the following frame:
if (demo.playing) { demo.stop();}
Where .demo is the name of the instance of the .flv component.
Here is the problem - I have many frames with many flvs, and when I tell flash to stop multiple FLVs, for instance:
if (demo.playing) { demo.stop();}
if (demo2.playing) { demo2.stop();}
I get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
As far as I know, flash is telling me that since the instance of "demo2" has not started playing yet (ex. the user only went to the page with the "demo" flv, but not the "demo2" flv yet) that flash has no idea what demo2 is yet. I thought using a conditional statement would remedy this, but I suppose the .swf can't stop playing something it does not yet know exists.
Is there any way I can introduce all of the flv's at the beginning of the file, yet not have them play and not have flash "forget" about them so that I can stop them using the code above? Or is there a way to have the conditional statement not error in the event that the referenced instance has not yet been "introduced"?
I really wish they would have added an "exit frame" command in AS 3.0...

What I'm trying to do is simply this:
<variable> = mvcShip
var ship1 = _root.attachMovie( <variable>, shipName + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth() );
What i am trying to attempt here is to make the variable equal to the name of an item in my library. (Im using this to use different ships in an old arcade-style vertical shooter). This is meant to make a ship appear on stage.
When <variable> is replaced with a library item (eg. mvcShip), it works fine, but if the variable is in place, i get a trace value of ship1 as "undefined", and the ship doesnt show up on the stage.

I have a button which makes a panel flip 180 on the x axis if its name is not in an array called "panes", it determines this by running an if statement. If its name is in the array then the button should run some code to make the panel flip back. However it isn't. It will let the panel flip one way, but doesn't run the code to flip it back. I was wondering if someone could take a look a see if they know why.
