ActionScript 2.0 :: Joining Two Variables To Make One?
Jul 15, 2011
What i have on the stage are lots of balls each with there on name b1,b2,b3 etc. and i have something that is going to hit it with hitTest.
Insted of hardcoding all the balls into the hitTest i want to have a variable containing the first part of the objects name (_root.b) then add i on the the end and i would loop from 1 to how many balls are on the stage eg. 10.
so for my code at the moment I don't have a loop but using "i = 0"
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
i = 1;
j = "_root.b"+i+".ball2";
[Code]......
When i trace "mcName" it shows "_root.b1.ball2" which is the correct object, but the hitTest doesn't seem to see it and fails.
If i put mcName as "_root.b1.ball2" (hardcoding it) it works.
Ive tried so many different tweaks and just can't seem to get it to do it.

So created a Sprite to which I add other Sprites which are game tiles. Each tile is 60 x 60 px big. In result I've the Sprite with about 200 childs (those tiles).When I try to startDrag() the container sprite the lag when moving it is very noticeable..
Is there a way like to join the tile Sprites so the container would have only 1 child Sprite instead of 200? Because it lags so much probably cause it needs to move (change the x and y) all those 200 tiles.. Am I correct?In this case I can't use the cacheAsBitmap property, cause user can zoom in or zoom out the map..

how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file? i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again.I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.

i know i've seen this before, maybe on that flash experimental math site that was all black and white and had a picture of a kid swatting at some molecular looking flies? anyone remember the name of that/well anyway, what i'm trying to pull off here is like a circle of some sort, all of sudden growing a small little circle and then both of them dividing, or possibly, a two circles(modules, atoms, particles) join to be one.

I am trying to add two variables, but my AS is joining them
volume1=function(answer1){
aa=wtft*12;
aaa=wtin;[code]....
There is more to this script, but I cut it down to this in order to focus on the error, which results in a joining aa and aaa. i.e. aa=36 aaa=4 results in a=364, where what I want would be a=40

How can I make a bunch of variables from a for loop. for example for (var i=0; i<total; i++) {var bunch(i);}. that i make a bunch of variables named bunch1, bunch2, bunch3. I keep getting errors. I program and use so many different languages that I dont know if that can be done with AS3. my only other alternative i can think of is to create some sort of event dispatcher object array. but I dont know how to get them all to send events to one listener with there index number.

I am a dynamic site newbie, but have been making simple animations with Flash for some years. I have got a friend to give me a leg up to create a flash page full of input text boxes that write to a text file via PHP and are then dispayed in dynamic text boxes. [URL]. I want to replace some of the imput text boxes with combo boxes. eg if the combo box has the options of say "rigid" or "trailer" it would write which ever was selected in the text file so this would be displayed in the dynamic text box for the end user to see. It seems very simple but I have looked all over the options for combo boxes and can see no mention of variables.

I would like to make an Object that has key names taken from a variable. Probably this is not clear enough, so let me make an example.
I have two variables var str1:String = 'firstKey'; and str2:String = 'secondKey';
How can I make an object that would look like:
var obj:Object = {firstKey: 'some value', secondKey: 'some other value'}, note that firstKey and secondKey are values of variables str1 and str2.
Doing obj = {str1: 'some value', str2: 'some other value'} does not yield a result that I would like

Having some issues with some variables not adding together to make a new number. Instead they are appending to each other as if adding characters onto a string rather than a number. Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
var dispenserPos:Object = {x1:"41", y1:"180", x2:"283", y2:"180", x3:"530", y3:"180", x4:"775", y4:"180"};
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
[Code] .....
It should be tracing out 388 instead of the numbers appended onto one another.

I'm tryin to do catalog on CD using flash. There will be 15 pages of items w/ the selections. The coding I'm using for their options is from this: [URL] Now my question is, since I can't use a DB because it's on a CD, I have to pass the variables through flash. But when they are done making all their selections how do I make an externally loaded SWF using this command:

read the final values that were selected on the specified pages? I've read lots of the threads concering passing variables and none of them. Also if anyone knows of any way to hold a DB on a CD and be able to write to it as well as read from it lemme know

I have created movie clips using loops that names them box1, box2, box3.... via = i + 1;duplicateMovieClip (_root.box, "box" + i, i);but i then want to edit a textbox which is rooted inside each movie but related to the movieclip just produced. so if box1 had just been produced then:box1.textbox.text = " E cell = +j+"V";is done so effectively i am looking to do: box+i.textbox.text = " E cell = "+j+"V";

i need to make a little multimedia/presentation where depending on the options you take (normal buttons) a Mc plays and in the end you a get list of itmes depending on the choices you took. I cant remember how to do it, its been a few years since i last did something like this, is there any good tut where i can understand how to do it? cant find anything, basically what i want is to be able to save the choices the user takes during the "game" and with each lode a different .txt at the end. Is this possible with Fl8? its going on a USB Stick, and it'll be a .exe that will load a few swf . . .

I'm looking for will all happen in about two or three seconds. I'm re-building my own website using AS3 package classes. When the API loads I want everything to appear in sequence from invisible to visible. First the logo, a few lines drawing themselves, then all the navigation buttons at the top appearing in a quick-fire horizontal row, then the content rolls in, etc. I want strict, accurate control over about two or three seconds, of how and when everything on stage goes from invisible to visible in a quick-fire sequence. I know it can all be done with several timers for each alpha going from 0 to 1. But can all the variables going from alpha 0 to 1 be bundled into an Array? And the Array fired by ONLY ONE Timer using a For Loop? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? Should I just use a bunch of Timers? I want to avoid a Tween because I want very accurate control of the quick-fire invisible to visible effect. And I want it to be easy to change later. Can this effect be done by ONLY ONE Timer rather than several Timers? And if it can, how do I make the timer fire all variables in strict sequence? Do I use an Array with a For Loop? Or something else? I've been looking for a couple of days but still haven't found anything close.

I'm looking for the best way to be able to have a user input their name, age, etc, and then place that data into a Flash Story book, to make it personalized. For Example:Name:_____Age:_____BOY/GIRL:____and then for example if the user decided to Enter: (Cooper, 7, Boy) the story would add those variables, so it might say:"Once upon a time, there as a 7 year old boy named Cooper, who lived in flying shoe."Ideally, I would want to be able to have the text auto format so that it looks like a seamless paragraph, no odd line breaks or spacing issues no matter how long the name they entered was, so for example if they entered "Cooper" or "Cooper William Johnson III", either way the text would still flow correctly

I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.

I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.
