ActionScript 2.0 :: If Statement To Change Button Script?
Aug 23, 2011
I have an exam game with different categories of test, all linking to a single results page. I would like to be able to set the back button to return the user to the main page for category they were just in, in case they want to retake the test, or take another part of the test, as some are broken up into multiple parts. I imagine there must be a way to detect what test category the user came from and program an If statement that sets the back button direct them to the main test page/frame. Something like, if user comes from Test1, btnBack=mainTest1, else if Test2, btnBack=mainTest2, etc.
Clearly not the right syntax, but something along those lines in terms of function. I understand how these statements work, but I have just never written one from scratch before, or really done much of anything with them; and have no idea where to begin. At the very least, could anyone direct me to a reliable, easy to follow guide somewhere online that would point me in the right direction? I've seen some guides, but they're not always the easiest to follow, if you've never done what they're instructing you to do, before.

I want to change a variable when a button is pressed. lingo: if this button is pressed then check varexample what number it has if it has a number then gotoAndPlay("example") and add 1 to varexample else, do nothing I'm sure if I get this kind of example down, I'll be able to figure the rest out by myself. =S

i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?
[Code]...
edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.

i suspect the answer here is "no", but i'm wondering if it's possible to set the color of trace statements which appear in flex's console pane. ie, i have a few "levels" of log statements, and i'd like the warnings and errors to really stand out.

One of my objects is an orange ball so when I click on it the first time it will change to yellow color and I want it to remain yellow, and then when I click on it the second time it should change to green and remain green.And finally when I click on it the third time it should go back to its original color. So what I'm trying to say is that I can chooses which color ball I want. So do I use an if statement, that says if click one time then change to yellow? I mean is there such a thing as how many times you clicked, in mouse events?

sw1 = text input
asw1 = text input
My problem is that is sw1 when I put in "188" it gives me "28.73" instead of "209.43". If I put in "2" it gives me "28.73" instead of "21.78". So it really doesn't work. My other "If" "Else If" statement works.
Code:
protected function sw1_changeHandler(event:TextOperationEvent):void{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (sw1.text <= String ( Number("18.325")) && sw1.text >= String ( Number("1"))){
(asw1.text = String ( Number("21.78")));
} else if (sw1.text <= String ( Number("24.83")) && sw1.text >= String ( Number("18.326"))){

I am having problems with the
getcoord = xycoordMap[x][y].split(":");
xcoord = getcoord[0].toString();
ycoord = getcoord[1].toString();
xcoord0 = xcoord + "";
ycoord0 = ycoord + "";
code... as you can see in the code I converted three times just to verify that I was working with strings. What happens if you run this script, the variables xcoord0 and ycoord0 magicly change in value when they are used in the IF statement (see the traces). What is going on?? what am I doing worng?? Is there an issue with my 2d Array?

I'm trying assign two functions to one button. The first click does a loadMovieNum to level 1. The second click will unloadMovieNum on level 1. So the first click loads a movie, the second click unloads it. Pretty basic.
I'm guessing it's a simple if statement, but I don't know how to go about it.
Anyone want to take a stab?

How do you script a Pause of X Seconds on X Frame and also on that frame have a button release statement that can take you forwards or take you backwards, elsewhere in the timeline - Without affecting the 'Pause' statement... therefore not mucking up the timeline and causing it to jump around at the end when all catches up?I take it once a pause has taken place - a button that can take you elsewhere, if clicked on - does not Cancel the initial pause and therefore lies my problem?

I have a button which controls the horizontal movement of a movie clip and next to it I have a button, if the user clicks the button once it moves up half way and when they click it again I would like for it to move up the rest of the way.This script has been applied to the button
on (release) {
if (xpos = 0) {
trig.xposnew = -396;

I have a flash movie that plays through automatically pausing on each frame for a set amount of seconds.
I used the following code to pause the movie which works 100%:
stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(
function():Void {
[Code]....
But now i have several buttons on the movie as well, now what i want to happen is that when any one of the buttons is clicked it should ignore the above piece of code and not pause on the frame but stop on the frame.

i have 9 images. the one that loads in is based on the number established by the variable loopCount, which increases by 1 each time the main movie loops. Based on what value loopCount has at the time, i want a matching button to appear. For example:
loopCount has the number 5 assigned to it this time around image 5 loads in button 5 needs to load in to match. i am guessing its some simple if statement, but i am at a loss. here is my attempt at the code:

I am having a problem using an if statement in a button. What I want to do is go to a frame dependent on which frame we are already on. For example if I am on frame one and I press the button the first time it will take me to frame five, if I then press the button a second time the actionscript detects we are on frame five so goes to frame ten and so on.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
if (currentframe == 5) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
} else if (currentframe == 10) {
gotoAndPlay(15);
} else if (currentframe == 15) {
gotoAndPlay(20);
}}
When I first press the button it takes me to frame 5, the second time I press it goes to frame 10, but when I press after that instead of going to 15 it takes me back to 5 then 10 then 5 then 10 etc and is stuck between going from 5 to 10 and back again.

Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

I've been struggling with an issue for a while now and can't find a solution. I've got a series of movieclip buttons that I have going between states on ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and CLICKED. It's very straightforward - except for the fact that I can't get the CLICKED function to take precedence over the ROLL_OUT and I was wondering if there was a way to make the ROLL_OUT conditional on the click. ex:
ActionScript Code:
//this is coded on a series of 5 buttons, only 1 is shown as example:
paintings2000_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onPaintingsOver);
function onPaintingsOver(state)
[Code]....
So my issue is that I need the ROLL_OUT to be conditional based on whether someone has clicked the button or not; but I can't find a solution for how to do that in this context!

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
