ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 How To Write A Variable As An "if Else"
Apr 6, 2009
I have a set of questions then it shows the score. I want it to loop back to the questions to redo them if score is under 70 and loop to another section where the correct answers are shown if under 100 and over 70. I have 100 as a congradulations frame. The problem lies in the writing of the over 70 and under 100 part
I want to declare a variable on the main timeline that can be called from anywhere in my movie. So, _global var should be the right approach. I want to declare a movie clip 'MC1' "open", or "closed" so that when it is revisited, my flash file knows the user has been there before and performs a different task from the one it does when 'MC1' was first encountered. So, i need a 'if' statement to run from the variable, when the playhead encounters the movieClip.
I'm trying to make something that will show up in a dynac text field something like this:"[variable1] text text text [varibale2] text text text"I've linked the dynamic text field to a variable "resu" and set it to:var resu = variable1 + "text text text text" + variable2 + "text text text"The only problem is that when I make the variables random, they don't change
I need to have one variable contain the name of another variable so I can write the actual value using either variable.
On my main timeline I have this code: var globalvariable = "blank"; On a movieclip I have this code: on (press) { var testsend = name._root.globalvariable; testsend = "IT WORKS!"; trace(_root.globalvariable); }
I'd like the trace to read "IT WORKS!" but it's always "blank". The reason for this is that I have a controls options page where users can change their key binding for the various controls of a game. There is a list of the actions in the game with a field for the currently assigned keyboard shortcut. When they press that field, it's a button that pops up a keyboard graphic which has buttons on it for every key. Clicking one of those buttons should assign that keyboard equivalent to the corresponding field.
So I want to have something like this actually work: Click the MoveFowards field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Moveforwards has a value of "Spacebar". Click the Jump field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Jump has a value of "Spacebar". Click the Shoot field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Shoot has a value of "Spacebar". So I need to pass the name of the variable to the keyboard graphic so that it outputs to the correct global variable and writes its output to the correct field.
So I've defined my variable:_global.current = 1;And below i am accessing an MC called 'carousel_holder', which has an MC named 'bar' and inside this MC is a final MC named 'bar1'.So ive tested my path and can hard code it fine, so its not a paths issue but i think my syntax is incorrect:_root.carousel_holder+".bar"+current.gotoAndPlay(" start");
I currently have a flash video player and I want to add some code that will update a variable in an external .as or .txt file. I then want to be able to pull this variable into a different .swf when required.
My variable I want to create will be CurrentVideo and it needs to be a number e.g. _global.CurrentVideo = 2
var printImage1:MovieClip = new PrintImage1();var printImage2:MovieClip = new PrintImage2();var printImage3:MovieClip = new PrintImage3();var printImage4:MovieClip = new PrintImage4();var printImage5:MovieClip = new PrintImage5();var printImage6:MovieClip = new PrintImage6();
I tried everything I could think of but it still gives me compiling errors.
In my movie I load a swf to a movieclip with this code
PHP Code:
_root.ImageViewer.loadMovie("deneme.swf");
Now can I do this? before calling the swf named deneme. When I press a button If I attain a number to a global variable with this code
PHP Code: on (release) {_global.myVar = 5;gotoAndPlay("CloseUpAnimation");}
Can I read this variable from the swf which I load into my movie?If I can read how can I write a If Statement that will gotoAndPlay according to that variable?
When the value of _root.mc1._currentframe is 10 I want the value of _root.mc2._currentframe to be written (sent or changed) to a variable which I can use in mc1. So I want to be able to use this variable in different clips but I do not want it to be changed until the playhead in mc1 is in frame 10. However I do want the variable to be valid even if the playhead is not in frame 10.[code]
I would like to know what's the difference when I write a temporary variable like this (these are just examples): version1
[Code]...
What's wrong and right? Currently I write it like version 2 and I'm not sure if I should change it to version 1. I know most developers write like version 1 but I'm a little bit confused because I am totally unaware about version 1. If I use version 1 does that mean that my value is stored explicitly in a temporary variable that is cleared in every cycle?
I've got these 150 buttons on my stage which all do the same thing. They test their value against myVariable to see if there's a match. If there is, it's a right answer and the user gets a point. The myVariable may be anything between 1 and 150. I have my button code on a single frame now but I'm looking at duplicating it 150 times (1 for each button instance). This seems a wasteful way of doing things. Is there any way I can extract a variable from the instance name? The buttons named btn1~btn150.
Is there any way to: btn 1~150 onRelease var newVariable = [instance name - "btn"] I guess this requires some way to listen for an instance name.
I have one swf with a button which, when clicked, needs to go to another swf in a different php page but to a specific frame, not the start of the movie.In the first swf I have:
for example i have 2 swf file a.swf and b.swf can a.swf sending variable to b.swf? can a.swf control some movieclip in b.swf? in a case a.swf is loadMovie to b.swf...
the dynamic text is initially zero (0) and when i click the button it counts the clicks up to here every thing works right but...when .swf file previewed in html after clicks if refresh is pressed the number is going back to zero.i want to upload this file and use on webpage.
i have a movieclip called allBUTTONS which contains 18 buttons. This movieclip will be called numerous time on the CDROM I am creating, and each time the number of buttons visible will change. So instead of writing the following code numerous times for however many buttons i want visible:
Is there a way to recall a variable from a previous frame? I have a variable that was mathematically calculated in frame 3, that variable was then used in a dynamic text field. The problem I am facing is that the text field then disappears in frame 4. The only solution I can think of is reposting the text field in frame 4 but I am having trouble recalling the variable from the previous frame.
Basically, I wanted to 'save' the time thats been recorded in each of the 5 'games', so at the end there is a 'scores' page, with your times for each of the games.
I have managed to get the timer working for the games itself, but cannot find / work a method which saves them to the last frame?
I thought possibly converting the 'elapsed_time' into a different var (t1,t2 etc..) for each of the games? - doesn't seem to work timer_not_saving.fla
I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.
i have a variable take away another variable which makes answer1 variable i then want answer1 to be to the power of another variable how can i do this in flash
I have received this big client wants a gallery built for this website. Problem I do not know how to write in flash. How to make a write flash file? Please help me this big client to work.
I have a simple Flash/XML slideshow-esque presentation that uses images+audio.I want to hand it over to a client but I think managing the XML is too advanced for them.I'm thinking I might need to hand over an HTML form with some PHP to allow them to upload assets and add/delete slides. If I could make it in Flash, that would be even better. I'm thinking that if I do it in Flash, I can set an interval to keep reloading the XML in so the client can see their edits as they create a presentation.
