ActionScript 2.0 :: Identify An Object Passed Into A Function?
Oct 13, 2010
In my case I have 6 movieclips and 6 corresponding text fields (all 12 objects are on the main timeline) and the movieclips are named thumb1_mc, thumb2_mc, etcetc, and the text fields are named text1, text2, etcetc.I have a method:mcl_mcl.onLoadProgress = function (targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes)in which I need to change the appropriate text file's text depending on which movieclip is targetMC.The trouble is I can't find a way to distinguish which mc it is, so I can't pick which text file to change.I tried using properties but that doesnt work because everything about the movieclip gets obliterated the moment I load something into them.

I have a page with multiple flash objects which are written by a third party and thus can't be changed. They call a JS function but don't seem to pass any identifying parameters. Is there any way to determine inside the function which flash object called it?

I have a basic XML file and a parser in as3.
So far, I can get it to parse and trace data from the xml file:
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var tester = xml.item;
[Code].....
My objective is to pass in a bunch of variables from my XML file that I can use anywhere in the flash project.

why is my variable not being passed into my function?
Code:
dealerLocate.urlButton.linkButton.onRelease=function(webAddress){
web=webAddress
trace("this is web "+web);
[Code]....
the webAddress variable is from the exact same timeline making it one level up from this function. it traces out correctly too so I know the variable is there... just not getting passed!

My code seems to produce an error (7 times - same code) "1120: Access of undefined property xmlMarker." This appears on all occasions where the variable 'xmlMarker' is called outside of the function ('showData') where it was first produced.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>[code]............
I have a feeling that I shouldn't refer to the variable as a 'MovieClip', but I am unsure what else to pu thee if that is where the fault lies.On the stage there are several buttons relating to the place names attributes (works perfectly), dependent upon which button is pressed, the scene then jumps to a frame (again this works well), however within that frame there will either be 'myMarker_mc', or myMarker_mc2' (this does not work!).

In c++ if I have a function that takes a class I have defined elsewhere as a parameter like so:void moveto(CPoint2D point) { ... }I can invoke it and pass along data to it like this:moveto(CPoint2D(0,0));basically creating the object and invoking it's constructor to be passed to the functionIs there an equivalent to this in AS3?if I have a function like this:function initialize(min:Point, max:Point): void { ... }how do I do something along the lines of :initialize(Point(0,0), Point(10,10))This throws an error im assuming because it thinks I want to cast something to a point and the notation I found earlier to do something similar only seemed to work if using the basic Object class.

Basically I want Javascript to pass a variable to Flash according to resolution. I realize my syntax might be off, but something like:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if (screen.width <= 800) {
expand = "false";
[code]....
Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't know exactly what I need to put in the <param> and <embed> tags, and how Flash would detect if the variable was true or not.

I have a flash movie on my index page but as the user navigates through the site and then goes back to the home page, I don't want the intro to replay. I have fixed that using shared object so that if it has already played, it skips to the end of the animation...here is my code:
function VisitCheck() {
var myLocalSO = sharedobject.getLocal("visitRecord");
if (myLocalSO.data.visited == null) {
myLocalSO.data.visited = 1;
gotoAndPlay(3);
trace("visit 1");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("visit2");
}}
VisitCheck();
Works great, except now, the intro animation on the index page NEVER plays again; I would rather have the cookie expire after the user closes the window or a certain amount of time has passed (say 30 minutes).

regarding DOM object name/id updates by JavaScript, and accessing them from flash. Let me explain.
I have made an actionscript that tests if externalinterface.objectid is null. If it is, I call a JavaScript that gives names/id to all unnamed shockwawe-type <EMBED> and <OBJECT> tags.
My problem is that, although the Javascript does what it is supposed to, the SWF's ExternalInterface.objectID property remains null.
In other words, although the DOM is properly updated, that update is not propagated to the ExternalInterface object.
- Is this normal ?
- Can I "reconsctruct" the ExternalInterface object to have it updated too ?
- Could I have my SWF reload itself, and how?
- More generally, what should I be doing to be able to access the newly JS-modified id from my SWF movie ?

I'm trying to understand how the Flex framework draws objects (Button, Label, Image, etc.). The Button class seems to draw itself by addChild()ing its ProgrammaticSkin. However, where in the framework is the Graphics object being passed around in the hierarchy to achieve the drawing. I want to get to the level of 2D API.

In a 'for loop' I'd like to add an event listener to a series of buttons. For each button I'd like to define a different function. Is it possible to pass the variable through when the functions are being named? My buttons all have sequentially named instance names.Here's my code:
for (var cBut:int = 1; cBut < 4; cBut++)
{
this["c" + cBut].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ["orangeValue" + cBut]);
}
And the resulting error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@42f50a89 to Function.

I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?

I'm retrieving variables from a DB via PHP via the URLRequest, and the formatting is set to variables (URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES) and matches the structure "myVarName=myValue&myOtherVarName=myOtherValue&... ".
My question is; is there a way, within Flash, to identify the variables and their values, without having to know their names?, are there methods within the loader class that allow this?, such as the variables count etc?
(I can access the variable "copyrightTxt." via the syntax: loader.data.copyrightTxt because I know its name, but I'd like something like
loader.data.variableSent[45].name = "copyrightTxt"
and
loader.data.variableSent[45].value = "@ 2009"
and
loader.data.variableCount = 98

I have the following:
function ShowSlide(event:TweenEvent) {
m= getChildByName("tag"+slideIndex+"_mc");
m.visible = false;
if (slideIndex < 4) {
slideIndex++;
[Code] ....
And I want to do for "tagInitW" the same thing I do for "m" being given that I already have "created tag1InitW", "tag1InitH", "tag2InitW", "tag2InitH..." So is there anyway I can dynamically target a variable? This was easy in AS2, but because of the strict dataType the vars have in AS3, I can't do it like I was doing it in AS2.

in ActionScript 3, if I loop through the children of a movie clip, it will return a DisplayObjectContainer, which is a list of DisplayObjects. However, the AS3 typeof cannot identify MovieClip as MovieClip is now an object, instead of a data type. How can I correctly identify MovieClip?I found 3 solutions online: First set the MovieClip name to a specific name, then in the iterate process, check the name of children using child.name.indexOf("specificName") > -1
Solution 2:use child.hasOwnProperty("numChildren") to identify a MovieClip
Solution 3: use 3rd party plug-in like FlashDevelop

Basically, I'm making a very simple turn based battle game using ActionScript 2.0. I'm VERY new to code, with only very limited Visual Basic knowledge, so I'll happily admit I don't really know what I'm doing. I've got a start, but I decided to rewrite the entire thing because I wouldn't be able to cycle enemies and levels easily.I've spawned the same enemy twice using _root.attachMovie, and identified them as Enemy1 and Enemy2. After spawning them, I tried to make them identify themselves with:
_root.Enemy1.identify = "Enemy1"
_root.Enemy1.identify = "Enemy1"
Using the debugger, this apparently works (within the movieclip, they have a variable called identify which correctly labels them), yet when I try to use an if statement so I can put them in their own individual positions, it simply does not work; it skims straight over. The code I have within the movie clips is:
if (identify == "Enemy1") {
function poschange() {
[code]....
The poschange functions works fine for the player characters, it's just this if statement to identify which enemy it is apparently fails. So my question is: is there any easier way for a movie clip to identify its own ID so I don't have to use this method, or is there just something wrong with my code?
