I'm pretty new to AS, I understand that whatever variables you have inside a function will be discarded once the function finishes? I need the value of a variable that's inside a function, I've tried declaring it outside the function, and also give it an initial value, but it seems that when the function finishes the variable goes back to it's original value.
View 5 RepliesI know that as long as a I declare variables inside a function I can only call them as long as the scope of the function is active. Outside of that function the variables don't exist. Is there any way I can create those variables inside a function and use them outside of it?
View 1 RepliesI have an AS3 function that runs when a URLRequest fails. I need to be able to use this function to assign global variables that I can then check against using other functions. How do I assign global variables inside of a function?
Edit:This is the variable (soundFile2Exist) I am trying to get outside of my function:
function onIOError(e:IOErrorEvent):void

I have attached the actionscript file on stage, however I can't access function or variables inside movieclip. Instead I can access them on main timeline, is there a way to access function and variables inside movieclip
View 2 RepliesIn the code below i want to change the _root.broj and _root.logo variables inside the function which returns values from .php file. Inside the function everything works fine and all values are correct but when i trace var broj outside the function it's still 0.

var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var broj:Number=0;

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

var speed:int = 4;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,MoveRight);
function MoveRight(event:Event):void{

I have an AS3 function that loads and audio file and then plays it. I have the pre-loader for the first audio file working - now I need to run the pre-load function before the 2nd audio file starts.
myMusic.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress2, false,0, true);
myMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playMusicNow, false, 0,true);
myMusic.load(soundFile, myContext); //This code works

I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) {
var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",

i was expecting the name of the function caller witch is a btn dynamicly created on stage (see exemple)

i know i could put the url right there instead but i have a lot of btn who would use that function
I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this
ActionScript Code:
public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {

I need to activate some lines of code inside a function because that is where the object name has been made.Would a boolean work well? If so how exactly would i implement it? I tried booleans but had no success because i am not experienced with them..

if I add a button to open a uiloader with a marker google with a xml dataprovider in data grid, how can I set this function?

I have this variables in my movieClip
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
myVar1 = 200;
myVar2 = 100;

Even i click the button it doesn't add variables inside the Movieclip I tried it outside the movie clip and it works.
On my main root frame i have this [code]...
i have a symbol called character and inside that symbol i have a symbol called head and inside that symbol i have a variable called headtype... i want it to set to 5 from the main frame.
If I have a MovieClip called parent_mc and inside it I have another called child1_mc, I can use a variable for the "1" part of child1_mc and change the alpha for example like this:
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:Number = 1;
parent_mc['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
What is the right syntax to use if child1_mc is not actually a child of anything and just sits on the stage? I have tried the following and it didn't work:
ActionScript Code:
['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
and I tried:
ActionScript Code:
stage['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
That didn't work either.
I am doing my first simple game using Flash CS5 and Actionscript 3.0. In this game the player would be able to create a new quiz where it would create an array and add sets of questions and answers to that array. I have been looking on how to do this or anything like it and it doesn't seem to be possible (at least in this way).

I'm programming an AS3 application where I'm loading an external SWF file to a movie clip in my stage:
var bgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file.swf");
bgLoader.load(bgURL);
addChild(bgLoader);
My question is this: how can I read a variable inside the embedded swf (probably through the bgURL, but I can't figure out how)
I'm using a few for() loops to populate my game. Now, I have 2 versions of each function, one that executes when my variable "debug" exists, and the other that activates only if "debug" does not exist.Looks kinda like this:
ActionScript Code:
// first, if debug exists, the script will execute for the single instance of my movie clip "myBox_0".
if(debug){
// assign a value to the string "myTarget"
[code]....
Now, on the line I starred*, if I enter "images/0" instead of what you read there, then it works. But when I try to use the variable "i" then it gives me the error "Error opening URL 'images/undefined.png'" I ran a trace statement to track "i" through the code and it works up until I enter the tellTarget statement... how can I get my script to pass that variable through that statement?
i want to query about a point here,
Now, When i make a loop for example a "for" loop
ActionScript Code:
var i:int;
for (i=0;i<4;i++){
// Looping Code For 4 Times
}
in the looping code, when i use a variable, for example "myVar"
Can i make the variable name be "myVar0" in the first time looping, and the name be "myVar1" in the second time looping, and so on ..

I'm currently learning OOP through Sen's information here at Kirupa, and I've decided to try out his "creatures" exercise mentioned in his Best of Senocular thread...The situation is a random number of sprites are created, and they move around the stage, interacting. They all have a certain amount of "health," defined as a variable in a MovieClip prototype applied to the MC. When they hit, I want their health to go down a little bit, so how can I access a particular MC's "health" variable while I'm outside of the MC itself?
View 1 Repliessome variables are inside of a movie clip, and i can't seem to access them from the main timeline.
