ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Flash8 Global Function?
Sep 11, 2010I have a function in a mc and I want to use it in another mc.
But I does not seem to call it.
I guess I can make the function global in some way, or?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Get Global Function To Be Seen
Jan 29, 2009I have a simple banner which rotates through three different movieclips. I would like to create a function on the main timeline that controls the length of delay for each of the clips.
So far this is what I have on the main timeline, which is a single frame:
_global.displayTime = function () {
startTime = getTimer();
MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code]....
The function works when everything is on the main timeline, but not when I want it to drill down into a movieclip.
IDE :: Referencing A Global Var Within A Function
Apr 18, 2009I'm an old C programmer been away from programming for years. Now we have a project requiring Flash and I've been elected. Just installed CS4. I have 16 panels in 4 sets of 4 that rotate left to right. (Big learning curve on that one - fading transitions in the right order...). Each panel must have a unique url when clicked. (16 urls).I've looked through many solutions, most of which seem unduly complex. I think that the simplest short of going to onRelease() with AS2 (Later I have to add mouseover changes in the graphics) is something like this:[code]I haven't found this solution out there. Is there a gotcha because the a#Link vars are accessed as global within the scope of handleLink? It doesn't feel right, but it works fine and 16 global variables doesn't seem too bad.

Aug 24, 2009I'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

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?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Declare A Function As Global?
Apr 16, 2008I was wondering something to do with global functions, it seems if you declare a function as global inside the first frame of a movieclip...and try call it from the first frame of the _root timeline it does not work.
Example.
This code is in a movieclip on the first frame of the timeline called "my_mc";
Code:
_global.Test = function(){
trace("Test ok!");
}
Then the code on the main timeline, first frame would be a call like this.
Code:
Test();
ActionScript 3.0 :: Modify A Global Variable Within A Function?
Sep 24, 2009I'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].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Sending Its Name To A Global Function
Jun 22, 2009I'm trying to send an object's name to a global actionscript function. It works with a listener in the action layer:
_root.ButtonName.onRelease = function() {
trace(this._name);
}
But there will be hundreds of these objects, so I'd like to have each one call a global function, so I tried code for each button like this:
on (release) {
GlobalFunctionName(this._name);
}
But for some reason, the value being passed is null. (Although if I switch "this._name" for a string, that works correctly.) Question: How can a drone object pass its name to a central function? Should I be using "on (release)" or should I use a listener within each object instead? Also, is it best to make them Buttons or Graphics or Movie Clips since there will be so many of them?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Global Variable From Inside Function?
Oct 11, 2011I 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Kind Of Global TextFormat?
Jul 18, 2003as u probably know TextFormat has no global style like FStyleFormat so i thought i could make one?
1. idea) i could wrap createTextField() in some fns which then assigns automaticly some TextField-propertys and sets setTextFormat.
THE PROBLEM with that is that not all of my TextFields are generated via script, some r created by authoring-time.
2. idea) is to change the prototype."someproperty" of the TextField,THE PROBLEM TextField is not created via standard "new" constructor
so something like TextField.prototype.embedFonts=true; DOES NOT WORK as well.
3. idea) i could simply traverse all instances on stage and ask if the instanz is TextFeld and then assgin some fns which makes the formating.THE PROBLEM i dont know how to do that?
couse if i ask
trace(typeof t_txt.__proto__);
it just givs "object" not TextField or so
---------------------------------------------
does anybody knows how to make kind of global TextFormat for createTextField()-generated as well as for authoring-time generated TextFields?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Global Variable - Enable / Disable Function Within Game
Oct 23, 2004I 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");
