ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Number From Instance Name?
Jun 14, 2010I am really not sure what to call this problem / search for to view an old solution. So if I am being redundant, simply link me to an old thread / lock this.[code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Dynamic Number To A Instance Name?
Jan 11, 2010My name is Bryan i am 17 years old and i'm from the Netherlands. As i am trying to become a web design and developer i decided flash was a MUST to know, so i started trying flash and messing about. Now i'm trying to get into Action script 3.0 deeper. Currently i am trying to fix an externaly (XML) loaded image gallery for my self, except i'm a little stuck right now.Up to now all my code has worked. I've got 3 UILoaders set up for 2 jobs: Loading thumbnails (2 of them) and the other is for loading a 'full' version. I got that working. Except if i get huge images like a wallpaper etc. it screws up the size, so i set scaleContent to true.
- Set all the images dynamicly, with that i mean it loops trough all the thumbnails and gets the first 2, it dumps them into the UILoader wich is already the part i am failing at XD
- Check for the width and the height of the image (wich i either will include in the XML document or can i use something like: XMLData.image[ *number here* ].img_thumb.width (as a example)?
- Check if these are less than the UILoader's size and if they are less dissable scale content, if they are more enable it
So as i said im already failing at trying to dump the images in the thumbnails.I've got the following setup:
Root document has a MC: mc_content.
Inside mc_content we have: loader_image (full size of the image loader)
loader_thumb1 and loader_thumb2.
So what i want:
- Load the XML (works)
- Set some limits using variables (works)
- Start a for loop (works)
- get the thumbnail for the current image number (wich is a variable set and maintained in the for loop) (works)
- load the image into the loader_thumb *insert current image number here* (fails)
here is my current XML function:
ActionScript Code:
// Function that is called upon loaded complete
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{
// get the XML Data from the file

Change Frame Number Of Graphic Instance?
Nov 19, 2005I'm stuck on this annoying bug of Flash:to animate a character i have different graphic symbols of hand positions inside a single container graphic symbol; that way instead of having to swap different symbols while animating and tweening, i just have to change the number on the "single frame" input box on the properties of the symbol.
It worked fine a few sessions ago, but now it won't let me change the frame number if there's a tween before that keyframe; tha keyframe isn't participating on any tween, and may even have some frames between the previous tweening one. The only way it will change is if i remove the first tween or add a blank keyframe between them, wich of course isn't an option when animating... i know it would work if i add a new layer and continue there, but it'll add a lot of mess to the already busy timeline.
The strange thing is that it remains working on some frames, from the previous session, and if a cut and paste them i can change the frame number freely; but if i try to build a secuence from scratch, it won't let me, even on a new document.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects - XML - Creating A New Instance Of An Object That Uses An Identical Name To An Older Instance Delete The Previous Instance?
Mar 20, 2009Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

Jul 14, 2011Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:

Mar 14, 2006I am wrapping my brain around OOP in AS2. I am making two posts on two different subjects. My question here is: when should I use local instance variables, and when should I attach new properties to the instance object? (Feel free to correct my terminology.) Let's say I have a class for a scrolling background, which scrolls when I mouse over its edge. I want to put these values somewhere:
1) How wide is the border in which a mouseOver makes it scroll? This is basically a semi-constant I set it up once and keep it the same, unless the user changes it in an options menu to make the border wider or narrower. Call this scrollBorderWidth.
2) How fast is the background scrolling now? I want to track this so I can smoothly change the scroll speed over several frames. This is often changed. Call this scrollSpeed.
It seems I have two ways I can store and access these values and darned if I know which is better practice. METHOD A: Make them local variables in the class, so the scrolling background instance has them as local vars. I set them up thusly:
