ActionScript 2.0 :: Global Variable - Enable / Disable Function Within Game
Oct 23, 2004
I have a button that I would like to enable and disable a function within my game. The button is called "flashBang". I'm thinking this may need to be done with global variables to make the switch do this procedure. How would I go about scripting this variable? Also I want to be able to target this function during gameplay, if this function is enabled do this line of code - _root.gotoAndPlay("flash");
The code needs to fit somewhere in here i guess.
//hitTest top + bottom wall
if (_root.ball.hitTest(_root.topwall) or _root.ball.hitTest(
_root.bottomwall)) {
_root.yspeed = -_root.yspeed;
_root.audio.gotoAndPlay("flash_bang");

I have two functions, I need one that of them at the start would be disabled and after decent amount of time or when x = 1000, function would be enabled and become active. How can I do that?

I'm having an issue with a global variable. I'm trying to give it a value within a function and it isn't working.The variable is imageList. It's an XML List. I'm making it global so I can use it anywhere in my project. I suppose if someone has a better idea to avoid the global variable, I'm up for that too. But for now, it seems like the way to go.
Here's my .as file:
package
{
public class MyGlobal
{
[code]....
It's giving me the same same Error #1009 as above. It seems like a scope problem, but why? Shouldn't it work since it's a global variable?

I've currently got this script (see below). What I'm trying to do is make it so I can load several images from a loop. I've played with a few different things, but I'm not completely understanding how the listener works as it relates to the loader. It seems when I try and add a second image, it only enters the onComplete function 1 time, therefor i only get one Image loaded. As a side note, I've also been trying to dynamically change the x and y position, but I'm not sure how to modify a global variable from within that function, or better yet, pass in the arguements during the eventListener call to onComplete.[code].....

I have a global var
[Code]...
The only problem is it can't "see" myGlobals. I was wondering if someone could tell me why it can't see it! I'm sure it has something to do with scope.

After having recently just discovered the delights of actionscript, I am at a loss to work this out. I'll explain:I have a series of buttons which, when each one is clicked, need to grab their instance name (this._name), strip the first three characters from it and send it to a global function in another mc within the swf.Instead of stripping the characters, I am happy to do:
if (this._name == dot1) {
dotVar = 1;
} else {

The variable currentIndex is declared globally and initialized with a certain value say '0'. How do I hold the value of currentIndex which is incremented every time the function is called? In the given code, every time the function is called, the value is reinitialized.
function nextSong(e:Event):void
{
sc.stop();

I have a primary function that calls upon other functions, which call upon other functions, etc, each one creating different objects. I need to delete everything eventually and was thinking the easiest way to do this would be to have a global array to push() each object into. It would be easy to just put garbageArray.push(thisCreatedObject); into the for() loops of every function to grab all the objects so a deleteFunction() could just cycle through garbageArray to remove and null everything cleanly.
What I want to do:I could easily just create a global array to do this (code example 1), but I would prefer to be able to recreate this global array and delete it every time this primary function is called (code example 3) since it will be called upon a lot. It would be cleaner code to have it created from within the function as opposed to outside of it because I will have a lot of primary functions doing similar things that would require a global array like this.
I also know I could create one and simply pass it as an argument to every function (code example 2), but I would have to pass it to every single function. There are a lot of functions and a lot of calls to them, so this would require rewriting a lot of code and would be more work than it's worth. Making a global array outside of the function would be easier than doing this if it came down to it.
ActionScript Code:
//example 1 of global array. No passing as argument from
//primary to secondary functions. Multiple global arrays
//required for multiple primary functions in the future.

I am trying to make a simple mp3 player using flash. The songs are loaded using an XML file which contains the song list. The following code is inserted into a new keyframe.
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]...
The problem over here is in the nextSong() function. I am unable to preserve the value of currentIndex. Although I am incrementing currentIndex every time the function is called, but the value remains unchanged.

I bought a license for a 3D Carousel component HERE. What I'm trying to do with it is load movie clips when the user clicks an image using a lightbox effect that I built in Flash.Everything is working fine except that when the movie clip loads on top of the site, I want the buttons of the carousel component to be disabled so the user can't load another movie until the one active is closed.I know how to disable a button, which I'm assuming would work here, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the button instance names out of the component to disable them.[code]Does anyone know if I could modify this event to give me button instance names instead of obj.id? Or, failing that.if there is a way to just disable the whole damn thing?

enebling and desabling MC�s(as buttons) and levels.Frequently I see websites that when you click on one menu item, until something loads the menu is disabled, or in other cases is usua� to see in gallerys, when you click an image the image open on top of things, and you can�t access the button or links being the image.
1- is to put a tranparent button on top of the movie or image that loads whit some closing actionscript, but i think this way is not nice;
2-the second one I though is to write some function for enabling and disabling things, but if I have lot of elements it�s not nice, and the third one is to add a Listener to Stage whit some onMouseDown event that closes the level or the swf loaded.

I have a meny here with 5 buttons. They are called "undermeny1.btn1", "undermeny1.btn2" etc. What I need to add to this code is that when I click Button 1, this button gets disabled, and if I then click lets say Button 4, Button 1 gets enabled and Button 4 disabled. Maybe an easy one but I just cant think straight.
Here's the code for my buttons ("undermeny1" is the mc in which the buttons live);
for(var i=1;i<=8;i++){
var meny = undermeny1;
_root["meny"]["btn"+i].ivar=i;

So I have a series of movie clips(info_mc) with a movie clip(hover_mc) and buttons(info_btn) inside them. The reason I did this is because I had problems controlling a movie clip in a button.
So what I would like to do is group the buttons together somehow so that when one is pressed the others go .enabled=false; I think setting up an array might be the way to do this, but I don't know how to set one up correctly.
But wait, there is more What I also want to do is have another series of buttons, that when pressed allow the array of info buttons to become enabled.

I want to create some AS to disable and enable a button. Let's call this ButtonX. I want this button to appear disabled at first, and then allow the user the option of enabling this button (ButtonX) by clicking another button. Let's call this ButtonY. I cannot get this to work. I am attaching the code I am trying. I have this AS added to ButtonY and ButtonX is the instance name for the button I want to de-activate-activate.

I d'like to have your opinion about the best and effective way to enable/disable properties on a list of MC buttons.Let's say I got a menu of 5 MC links and I click on one of them. I want to disable the mouseEnabled propertie on it and change its color. But most important reset all the other ones.That's what I have so far but I feel it's not the best thing to do:
Code:
selectedButtonId = e.target.id (get the id of the clicked button in the buttonsArray)
for (i=0, i<buttonsArray.length, i++) {

I have custom context menus that I wish to disable when I do a certain action in the application, and re-enable them again once the action is finished. Kind of like using save as in a program. When the save window comes up all parts of the program is disabled except the save window.
When the window appears in my application, it doesn't cover the movieclips that I want to disable context menus for. So can I do this with Flash alone?

I'm doing a presentation flash and in my presentation, I don't want to show my mouse movement.
I have a text input box for me to enter text. The text box property is set to dynamic.
I have create a keylistener for me to press "I" or "i" and when I press "I", I want my text input box to enable me to type text in.
How can I code in AS to achieve this action?
Initial state of text input box is disabled, when I press "I" or "i" text input enabled and I can type in text. After that, I press another key, will disable the typing of text again.

As an AS3 beginner, I'm trying to translate an old AS2 trick into AS3. I want to disable then re-enable any kind of interactivity with all the display objects on the stage, at once. For example while waiting for external assets to load or after a user clicks on a menu item.
This what I used to do with AS2 :
protect_mc.onRelease = function():Void {};
protect_mc.enabled = false;
protect_mc._alpha = 0;
protect_mc._visible = false;
Then switching protect_mc._visible to true or false.
(protect_mc being an empty movie clip with the stage's height and width, at the highest depth)
My first idea is registering a listener with the Stage for the capture phase of MouseEvent.CLICK that stops all input events propagation (mouse, focus, text...), when a "lock" static variable is set to true or does nothing otherwise. Second idea is using a Custom Event...
