ActionScript 2.0 :: Making A Variable With X And Y Position?
Feb 12, 2009
I am working on a client who wants a "Game-like" tour of their facilities on their website. I can use flash and do some very basic actionscript ..especially cutting and pasting
At any rate, I have character that moves on the main tour map and he starts in the parking lot...he can go from one screen ( scene ) to another. But when the character returns to the main tour map he always starts at the same location. As opposed to starting where he just came from. Such as if he just went into the "Process Plant" he should start on the main map at the "Proccessing plant" ... Can I set the X Y coordinates in some type of variable that remembers where he came from when he exits another scene and returns to the main map...?

I am pretty new with AS3 . I am making a liquid layout in flash using as3, it worked pretty well with the following code, for the movie clips that are going to be on stage from the very beginning.
[Code]....
as you can see I have defined the variables Width adn Height inside the function as well and I am using WIDTH/2 to define the x position, Well it laods in the exact position but won't float as I minimize the stage

I am making a widget in AS3, looks like a equalizer.
I'm having the problem when swf reloads, everything will reset. Is there a way to keep this from happening. I was thinking maybe XML.
I am thinking as the user scrubs it is writing the XY coordinate to the xml doc but i dont think that can work because the xml doc would then haft to be saved.
Any thoughts on what key words I need to search for in the net.

I have bought some code to make a starry night in my animation but I need to make this either only appear inside a movie clip, or on a certain part of the stage, can anyone tell me how to alter the below code so I can do this? do you I need to add in some x, y coordinates?
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var maxStars:Number = 25;

I've moved to actionscript 3.0 from PHP, and there are some things I just do not get. For example, making a variable name with another variable.Let's say I have movieclips called object1, object2, object3 and so on. I used Math.round() and Math.random() to get a random integer number, and I want to select one of my movieclips according to this number I get.
In php, you can do this:
PHP Code:
<?php
$objectNumber 1;//Let's say this is a random number

Basically I'm trying to load a variable from an external file and then make that variable available for anything.
Code:
var where;
locSource = new LoadVars ();
locSource.load("source.txt");[code]....
I've tried all the variations of this I can think of. I've defined "where" as a global variable both outside and inside the function, tried to define a separate global value within the function (and changed the syntax of the trace accordingly in either case), nothing works. Basically, the function is being loaded properly; if I put the trace inside the function it shows up perfectly, but the variable isn't available for anything else, which is what I need to happen.

it's possible to have AS take the filename of itself and make it a variable. I need it to be done by AS only. I know it's possible in PHP, but I'm not sure about AS. I'm guessing if it's possible it's one line of code. I'm using Flash 8 but publishing at Flash 6, AS 2.

var myNumberArray:Array = new Array;
myNumberArray[1] = new Object;
myNumberArray[1].myProperty = 10;
[Code]....
This obviously traces out the string "myNumberArray[1].myProperty", completely disregarding that there's already a variable/property called myNumberArray[1].myProperty, which has a value of its own.
Tracing out this[myStringVariable] just gives an 'undefined'.
Is there any way to get it to trace "10", using only the 'myStringVariable'? In other words, to make AS understand that myStringVariable contains the name of another variable/property?

I'd have thought this to be simple, but nothing works. I have a game I'm working on, and in it, there will be a speed stat. The fast you are going, the faster everything else has to move to make it look like you are moving faster.The problem is, the speed stat (obviously not called speed) is one of the upgradable stats, and needs to be available for the class handling upgrades for it to be changed, and it needs to be read by the class handling moving objects.The second class however, has absolutely no idea the variable even exists. I've tried for weeks to look up a tutorial on it, but there doesn't seem to be any at all that I can find. (I am using public variables, and have tried various ways of trying to point at the class it's from but apparently I must be using the wrong syntax)

I'm making an Elder Scrolls type game and I want my enemies to hurt me after a certain time.So pretend like 5 seconds after they come on the stage they would take 5 hp off me.Then when one of the enemies die it stops until another enemy comes on the stage then it counts how long its been on the stage.This is what I have so far:
Actionscript Code:
var tmr1:Timer=new Timer(2800); var tmr2:Timer=new Timer(5000);

AS3 says you need to load variables into a class?my variables look like this... (the whole point of playing around with variables was that if I had to make a change I could access one place and change them but now I realse that I can't access or call them outside the movie clip they are in.[code] The Wholesale price. A wholesaler is usually a big shed where goods are stored.

I've got an animation that plays, and then at the end of the timeline plays a movieclip. This movieclip displays a piece of text, which is extracted from an XML file, the piece of text is selected at random currently out of a list.
Then when the clip is pressed (button), it goes back to the previous timeline, and then plays through again, including the movieclip, and now a new piece of text is picked at random and displayed.I now want to make the pieces of text display sequentially, but am having some trouble.
put in a counter, and the text that is displayed from the array corresponds with the number on the counter, unfortunately, this gets wiped every time it plays, because the counter gets remade. Is there any way to create a variable outside of the timeline maybe, in a actionscript file maybe, so that I can just add to this. I have been running a trace, and can't seem to get it to not wipe.

I am trying to create a variable in Actionscript 2 that will record the position in the timeline, so Flash knows the user's last position on the timeline.The first line in the mc is: var portfoliostate;On frame 20 of the timeline, I have the following actionscript: portfoliostate = "1_ portfolio";When a button is clicked, I want Flash to recognise if the user has been on frame 20 or not. The code on the button is:this.onRelease = function()[code]However it does not seem to be working. I am implementing this correctly?

I have the following working line:
moveMC.y = twn.bounceBall01.y
It successfully gets the y value of bounceBall within the MC twn, and applies it to the y value of moveMC. How do I replace the 01 in bounceBall with the following global variable: globals.data.clk? I've tried using a way that Ned successfully showed me for a different situation, plus tried some other permutations, but Flash says "no way dude".

I have a AS2 netstream instance, in which I am loading various flv's into. The 'main' video has links to other visble when its playing. I want to be able to store the position of the flv (in seconds) so that when the user comes back to the 'main' video it remembers where it was and contiues to play. This is the code I have written so far regarding this (its probably massively wrong).
var remember:Number;
if(ns.play == ("flvs/reel.flv")) { ns.time = remember; trace ("stored"); }

I mostly use flash for the animation, so my action script tends to be mostly functional.
I am now however having an issue, i am using a variable called language which I am setting in frame one as "dutch", "english" , "german" etc... Im then using this to set dynamic text as appropriate in each frame as necessary.(and yes i may switch this to case statements )
if (language == "dutch")
{ tcMC.peasantBubble1.peasantSpeech.text= "Bescherm je een schat?"};
My problem is however that one Movieclip does not see the language variable.
Is there anway in CS4 i can direct it to where it is, or define the varibale instead to be global (perhaps id have to change it from a string though)?

public class Vehicle extends Sprite{ protected var _position:Vector2D; public function Vehicle(){ _position = new Vector2D(); draw(); } protected function draw():void{ graphics.clear(); graphics.lineStyle(0); [code]....
I don't understand following code,because I only define _position and don't define position variable,why I can use position.x? x = position.x; y = position.y;

I cant get this to work. I think its pretty self explanatory what I want to do, set _x to a random position (b1 - b6)
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
stop();
b1 = 462;
b2 = -462;
b3 = -1388;
b4 = -2314;
b5 = -3240;
b6 = -4166;
} onClipEvent (load) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6);
_x = ["b" + RanNum];
}

i've got two classes and i'm not extending to MovieClip. I like to attach the mc in the constructor just because i'll be working with different MC's that have the same purpose.
however, im using private var loadedMC:Movieclip and now i've got another class that needs to be able to access the instance's variable.
for example, myClass.loadedMC , but this would mean having to make it public and I rather not go that route.

I have flash create an empty movieclip, screen_1, then attach 4 different colored movieclips to the empty one: box_1, box_2, box_3, box_4.Now I am trying to change the position of one of the boxes with the number of the box as a stored variable. So say:
boxNum = 1
this["screen_1.box_" + boxNum]._x = this["screen_1.box_" + boxNum]._x +1600
I can get this to work on the main movie clip.. but not on the movieclips inside of it.
