I have a frame where there a 5 input text fields that the user can fill in. THey may not fill them all in though. In the next frame I want to push the fields that they filled in into an array.how do I determine what they filled in and what they didn't.
View 2 RepliesWhy does the trace in the loop below return false for every iteration, even though there ARE nodes named with 6 of the 8 possible values??? This only happens when I have a namespace. Is there some other way to check for the node values???

I have an array with some elements that may repeat themselves or not (this is actually because they're attributes retrieved from xml nodes, but you don't need to know that); what I want to do is: go through that array and check for elements and store them in another array according to the following condition (this is where it gets tricky): if that element does not exist in the final array yet, store it; if it does exist already, nevermind it.
I wrote this code:
//custom method for searching through array
Array.prototype.contains = function(searchValue){
for(i=0; i<this.length; i++){
if (this[i] == searchValue){
return true
[Code] .....
Trace returns lisbon, oporto, oporto, coimbra, oporto, coimbra wich means that the only element in the destinations array being prevented from getting pushed into the final array is the first element in the initial array (in this case, "lisbon")... but if it prevents the first one, how come it doesn't prevent the others, damn it?...
I'm using the FLVPlayback class to play my FLV files.
If I'm trying to play a FLV file which is not existed yet then I am getting a "VideoError: 1000" with message of Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server.
I want to check for the FLV file existence using the file URL or path, before playing that FLV by FLVPlayback.
I need to check for file existence in Flash on x number of videos. I've tried LoadVars and MovieClipLoader. LoadVars works but it actually loaded the entire video before reporting its done. Without a way of knowing that its started, I can't delete it before its done. I don't what to load the entire video, i just want to check that its there. MovieClipLoader has onLoadError and onLoadStart, which works because I can unload the MovieClip right after its starts loading and know its there and if there's a load error I know it's not there. Should work, but I need to run that x number of times to check for the other videos.
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best method to test the existence of an attribute on an XML object in ActionScript 3 ttp://martijnvanbeek.net/weblog/40/testing_the_existance_of_an_attribute_in_xml_with_as3.html is suggesting to test using
if ( node.@test != node.@nonexistingattribute )
and I saw comments suggesting to use:
if ( node.hasOwnProperty('@test')) { // attribute qtest exists }
But in both case, tests are case sensitiveFrom the XML Specs : "XML processors should match character encoding names in a case-insensitive way" so I presume attribute name should also be match using a case-insensitive comparison.
I am trying make a movieclip pan across the stage on a set path, I have 5 buttons, when button 2 is clicked, the movie clip is moved to position 2, its moved on a timeline so a function starts playing the movieclip, on the timeline inside this movieclip there are conditions on specific frames showing where the the timeline stops, so when button2 is clicked a variable is created which is "label2" and the timeline stops on this point, as seen the the condition below[code]....

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a simple non-XML-based slide show where the container MC dynamically loads sequentially numbered files (01.swf, 02.swf, 03.swf, etc). As you may already be gathering, I want to write a little loop that returns true if the file is there, e.g. if there's only files, 01.swf � 07.swf and the loop checks for 08.swf and doesn't find it, it returns false. BTW, in this particular case checking loader MC's _width won't work, so I need an alternative to that.
View 2 RepliesI have a parent.swf file that loads a child.swf. When the child.swf is running on it's own, I'd like it to do one thing, but if it has been loaded into the parent.swf. I want it do something else (i.e. change behavior). Is there a way for the child.swf to detect whether it has been loaded into a parent.swf or not?
View 4 RepliesI searched this a number of times, but I haven't found the answer was.I am new to scripting, so I am still finding what works and doesn't. So far I have added a number of variables in the engine I am creating. I want the player to click the button. Once press it will affect many of variables. The thing is I want to make the button unpressable if one variable is <= a number, lets say 100, and another term is true: number(_root.var2)/number(_root.var1) > 2).Here is what I have so far:
on (release) {
_root.var2 = number(_root.var2) + 1;
_root.var3 = number(_root.var3) - 1;

View 5 RepliesIm creating an online survery and recording all the answers as a variable in _root.vars.variablename where each question creates a new variable in the vars clip.
When the user answers a question the variable is created and given a value e.g.
_root.vars.variablename1 = 1
_root.vars.variablename2 = 1
_root.vars.variablename2 = 0
But I need a piece of code to check if the variable has actually been created. The reason for this is I have a next button the user has to click once they have answered, and I dont want them to advance if they havent answered. So I need to add something like if (_root.vars.variablename1 exists ) {gotoAndPlay("answered");} else{ gotoAndPlay("noAnswer");}
