form = new Object();
form.change = function(eventObj) {

I'm using a Flash accordion component. This component is made of movies and includes text boxes whiach people can enter locations into.
These values are process on the main stage on the click of a button.
My question is, how do i get the value that was entered in the accordion movies into a variable on the main stage that the can be used.
At the moment i have a text box on the page, and have added this code to the first frame. Although i think the value is reserverd for use with the accordion movie and cant be accessed on the main stage.
keyword = varkeyword
Assume the main time line is A. On A I've got movie clip Z also On A I've got movie clip B and inside B I've got a movie clip C (I need it to be this way because it soft of a TAB meanu). My problem is the actionscript written in C makes few objects called planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 on A function well. But when I move planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 to a movie clip (planets_mc) it wont function! How can I put planet 1,2 and 3 in to one mc and still make the actionscript in C work? I've used the _root. command in the script C.
View 2 Replieshow you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access
ActionScript Code:
function stopShake(e:MouseEvent):Array
this array that function return.
Arrows moving on some path (to be determined by a function). Let's this path to be circle. I want several arrows (number of arrows must be determined dynamically so that arrows cover whole circle) to move on the circle and their speed to be controllable (all arrows will have same speed). But my knowledge in Flash is very-very little (I'm familiar with Java/C++ and other Computer Science stuffs, so you can give your advices accordingly). What I was able to achieve after 3 days of effort: Just one arrow moving along the circle. I've tried every possiblity (I saw), but still no success.
View 6 RepliesI have a character with multiple animations by way of movieclips, and I'm trying to have it move using the Key.isDown function. Now, my character is moving correctly, but when the key is released, the animation keeps playing. I tried adding a stop command at the end of the walkcycle animation, but that just causes the character to stay frozen on the last frame of the cycle.

I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this

public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {

I am using the following code to simulate a volume control bar filling on vol+ and unfilling on vol-. The dragger is a mask that causes the fill to appear and disappear when the mouse is pressed and dragged on the volume controller. It works well, but I would like to add a "switch" that moves at the same time and in the same location as the fill, but on top of it... I created the movieClip for the switch and tried all kinds of variations to the following code with its instance in the code, but cant seem to get it working... below is the code which works with just the mask filling / unfilling.
this.ratio = 0;dragger.onPress = function() {this.startDrag(true, 0, 0, line._width, 0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
ratio = Math.round(this._x*100/line._width);
_root.volume = ratio; }; };
dragger.onRelease = dragger.onRelease=stopDrag;
I'm making a game where if you hit something, an .swf appears over the game. During this time, I want the enemies to stop moving. The enemies are set up to move randomly onEnterFrame. I've tried deleting the onEnterFrame, but it doesn't appear to be working.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a function for a random moving clip (devined x position) with lets say 5 secons interval, that is also functioning as a mask. But the clips that need to be masked should change in opacity in stead of vissible or not vissible.

I am trying to dispatch an event but not sure when I should do it to get the right results. The first event "submitClicked" is in the right spot and works great. However, the second event "dataReady" seems like it might be a problem. I need it to be dispatched after this.compiledFormData is set.Does AS3 wait for each line of code in a function to be executed before moving on to the next line?

im currently making an "AS3 beat em up" ala streets of rage or double dragon.Currently i have my character moving and a few animations done and i am trying to figure out how to make attacks work.I have some "basic" animation for his attack, but im not sure how to get it to work correctley.What happens is, if you press control (the attack button) whilst the character is walking he just keeps moving and is stopped on the attack frame.I want the character to stop moving if the attack is pressed and once it is released start moving again.

I'd like to have a number of different functions named something like: "function1", "function2", "function3", all the way up to function100.
I'd like to be able to call them by adding the the number as a variable. For example:
type = 2;
function+type();
Which would call function2. I'm trying to avoid a huge if/else statement by only calling the functions I need.
Can a function be called if part of the function name is a variable? Is there another way to join "function" with the variable and then call it?
