ActionScript 2.0 :: Finding Part Of A Value In ._droptarget Name?
Apr 14, 2011
I'm doing a drag and drop type interaction. When the user drops an mc on another mc it will reveal a hint on screen. I want to determine the hint to display by the number contained in the _droptarget name (dragObj_mc1, dragObj_mc2, dragObj_mc3 etc). I'm then splitting that string into an array, converting each index back to a string and using indexOf to determine the number. I've got the following code which works but there must be a better way
ActionScript Code:
hintReveal_btn.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();

Is there a way of telling a null value in the _droptarget property?
Basically I've got 9 draggable objects, and what I want them to do is if there is no _droptarget when you release the drag, flick back to it's riginal position.

var tfNum_mc:MovieClip = tl.attachMovie("tfID","tfNum_mc_",tl.getNextHighestDepth());
If I'm to assign the above code to a dragDrop action. Is there a way to change the font size of tfNum_mc_.tf? I've tried;
tfNum_mc_.tf.size = 12;//did not work
var format1:TextFormat( = new TextFormat();
format1_fmt.size = 12;
tfNum_mc_.tf.setNewTextFormat(format1);//did not work

Ok perhaps ive bitten off too much here...I know you are not supposed to parse xml/html to regex but the thing is there just arent many other options.Im using AS3.im parsing the source of textflowlayout text to a different format.
string to parse :
< fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold"> some text < fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontStyle="italic"> some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic"> some text
what i really need is:
< fontname=Verdanabold encoding=unicode> some text < fontname=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialitalic encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialbolditalic encoding=unicode > some text
logically i think of it as taking apart the string into substrings
checking if there are fontWeight or fontStyle in the substring
if there is then appending the font name with the weight or style so so that the font name becomes font NameWeightStyle.then rebuilding the string.The font could be any font with variouse styles or weights..so far:
pattern = /<(.*?)>/gixsm;
var matches:Object = pattern.exec(str);
var finalstring:String = "";[code]...........

I need to find an instance of a movieclip that is on my flash file. It is really big and uses a lot of memory. It says on the number of times used that there is one instance of the object on the flash file, but I can't find it. I thought I deleted them all but there must be one left. How do I go about finding it? It's a really large flash file with many layers, and I don't want to just delete the library file. Is there any way I can find where the object is placed in my file?

We have a client server architecture where a C++ server talks to Flash clients. I'm developing the server and would like to send through tcp an xy coord to simulate a button press where the receiving flash client would find the topmost visible object at that coord and send a mouse event to it such that we could simulate play without a human present. I'm told this is incredibly difficult, but it seems to me that there must be a way to do this. Am I off the mark? Or is there a mechanism in flash to iterate through all objects regardless of parent child relationships to find a visible button at an x, y coord and signal a press event?

This should be a simple one. I am running an IF statement that needs to check the 5th value in a pre-populated array. I'm finding it hard to find the right method of searching the array.
[Code]....
indexOf seems to just return where the value is...but I already know where it is! I just want to know WHAT it is! There will also be values that are exactly the same in other positions in the array. I have to focus in specifically on the 5th value.

I need to break a number down to be represented by a randomly ordered sequence of 2s and 3s.[code]I'm currently doing this with a loop in ActionScript 3 but have been looking into the possibility of using some kind of mathematical formula to save me a few lines of code. I'm a bit of a sop when it comes to Math and I've not yet found anything suitable.

At some point I will have created a MC on the stage. Later on, I want to put a different on in its place. The original MC may, or may not, be there.So I need to first check and see if it is there, whack it if it is, then add my new one.I know the name of the variable I used to create the MC, but I think the problem is I did this from INSIDE another clip. When I am trying to find it and remove it, I am outside that clip, so I don't think the main timeline knows of that variable. So when I try:if(ribbonEGM) removeChild(ribbonEGM);[code]How can I test and remove the ribbonEGM clip from the main timeline?

I have made a few posts now, and I'd like to especially Prid for not only answering them, but for giving me guidance on how to learn AS2. I am progressing very nicely, and have made a couple of simple games without any tutorials, but theres one thing I couldn't find. I have this character which can move, up and down, left and right. I also have an enemy trying to shoot at him. However, this enemy needs to know where the character is. I already have the shooting code (Prid), but it was for shooting in the direction of the mouse. What I need now is to replace the bit of code that finds the mouse coordinates with code that finds the coordinates of the player.
The shooting code is on the frame (doubt that is important to say, but still) and the instance AND name of the Character is, well, Character. So basically, I need a code to calculate coordinates of a movie clip that does not have a fixed position. Oh and one more thing, should I post simple stuff like this in the beginner section, because I've seen waaay more complicated stuff there than in the AS2 section.

My main loads an external swf. Then it creates a bunch of ball movie clips on the stage. I need to reference the content from labeled frames in the external swf. In AS2 all you had to do was use _level.

I am wondering if Flash has a built in way of finding if a value in an array exists. IndexOf only works with string values, but I couldn't find any function that tries to find a value of any data type in an array.
If there isn't one, I will just end up using this:
Code:
contains = function (array, input) {
for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] == input) {
return 1;
}
}
};
I am trying not to use my own functions for things that Flash already has built-in, so I just want to double check with you all in case I missed something
