I have a code with statements like this
Code:
mc1.onRelease= mcfunction
mc2.onRelease= mcfunction
mc3.onRelease= mcfunction
mc4.onRelease= mcfunction
[Code]....
Is there a way to cut down the number of statements in this case?
I'm trying to declare a few variables in a for statement using the variable in the for statement. In older flash versions I would use something like this.
Code:
for(a=0;a<10;a++) {
_root["variable"+a] = "Some text "+a;
[code].....
I want to set multiple conditions for an if statement, but I don't want the conditions to all have to be true, I want to say if (a or b or c or d, etc. is true) then do this. I don't want to say if (a && b && c && d, etc. is true). Is it possible to have an if statement with an "or" in the condition? If so, what's the proper syntax for that?
View 1 RepliesThis is my code
Code:
if (mp1._y != 555) {
new Tween(mp1, "_y", Strong.easeOut, 650, 555, .5, true);
how/where can I ad a second condition like
Code:
mp1._alpha!=100)
to that same statment before that tween plays

View 1 RepliesI am trying to do a multiple if statement checking to determine which frame label within a MC (NE) and is located on frame 3 of the main timeline, to display. In the main timeline frame 1, I have declared a new var:
var n_e;
button1.onRelease = function (){
n_e1 = 1;
main timeline go to and stop at frame 3
}
[Code] .....
But it doesn't seem to work, and most of the time it lands up on Ne("2") instead...
I'm afraid I know the answer but I wanted to check first.
I want to run a single function based on multiple values.
[Code].....
I have a conditional statement (if) that I am trying to use contingent on multiple variables being true. So the AS I have right now is:

But when I run that I get the following error message: "Error 1050: Can not assign to a non reference value" What do I need to change so that once 1,2 and 3 have been visited visitComplete is set to true?
I want to make a function that will remove every single mc symbol I've previously attached to a "mask" movieclip. So i created this:
removeAll = function(){
for(a in _root.mask){
a.removeMovieClip();
}
}
I thought if i do that itll remove each "a" it encounters but I guess I'm missing some part of that "for..in" syntax. Not sure how that works.
I have a button that I want to play first one frame label in a movie clip, and then another, depending on a variable.
The problem that I am having is that the movie does not wait for the first part to finish before jumping to the next.
Here is an example of the code
on (release) {
if (_root.busMove.bus == 2) {
_root.busMove.gotoAndStop ("A2beg");
_root.busMove.gotoAndPlay ("Bbeg") ;
}
}
It goes right to Bbeg, flickering briefly over A2beg which will not do!
I have a menu movieclip and an externally loaded swf on my main stage. The menu mc needs to control the externally loaded swf. For example the swf plays and pauses, then when any of the menu buttons are clicked the swf needs to play thru and be removed. currently I am dispatching an event for each button clicked with a switch statement. In the main timeline I need to listen for each of theses events and based on what button is clicked proceed to the correct content frame. How can I listen for different events and run one function that based on which event is registered perform a task with a switch or if statement?
View 4 RepliesThis shouldn't be too difficult. Heres my code:
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
var box[i]:Object = new Object()
box[i].id = [i]
box[i].name = "default"
box[i].location = "default"
box[i].type = "default"
But its not working. I keep getting error messages concerning the var box[i] statement.
Where and how I'd put the rest for the score tracker? I'm going to be making 3 of these multiple choice questions, so what would be the best way I lay that out and transition from one question to another?[code]...
View 1 RepliesHaving 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.
if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code
[Code]...
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.
The following doesn't work (although it gives no explicit error), but why not?nd... Is there really no way around it, strictly using the with statement? Forget using for / foreach.
with (object1, object2) {
attribute = value;
method();
}
Why the code above gives no syntax error, doesn't work but is accepted by with?If it's possible, how could we change multiple objects with same attribute using with?
var object1 = { attribute: 3 };
var object2 = { attribute: 2, method: function() { alert('blah'); } };
var object3 = { method: function() {alert('bleh'); } };
[code]....
why this code won't work

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.
View 13 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is create an else if argument for each object in an array based on a user set number
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?
I have a script which is giving me a lot of trouble since I have no idea how to write another "if statement" inside another if-else statement. I keep getting errors, I guess I don't know where to put the braces exactly...
example:
if(bla == bla) {
<------------how would I write another if statement here?
}else if (bla == bla){
}
How do I shorten this into a "for" statement?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var bttn = "0";
if (_level0.bttn == "1") {
_level0.mask2._y = _level0.btn1._y;

Is it possible to use a if statement with a eventlistener in it?
eg
if(myBut_btn.addeventlistener(MouseEvent.CLICK)){
[code]....
So I've been reading a lot today about the with statement performance, readability and stuff like that but i'm still not sure whether i should or should not use the with statement in AS3.
Using the with statement seems the same as creating local var which would carry the reference.
I am sending my header location to some variables in flash from my php page.For example when i am in the homepage then the header is:
&from=sitemap&product_id=1
What i want to do is tell the flash to go to one frame if it is the homepage and to another for any other value of products_id.What i have in my actionscript is this:
Code:
var prod_num = product_id;
if(prod_num == 1){
gotoAndStop("s1");
} else{
gotoAndStop("s2");
}
It is getting the product_id....but for some reason it always goes to frame name "s2".
ive got an array of cards 2-10 plus jack, queen, king, ace and i'm pulling members from the array at random--in order to score it, i decided to check the first character of the string and see if it returns a number or not.if it's a number, add the number to the score, but if it returns 'NaN' (not a number) then it will just add 10 to the score--so even tho NaN is defined as a variable in flash, somehow my if statement 'char==NaN' isn't working...

I'm using a for-statement to add a series of movieclips.
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
attachMovie("myMC", "myMC"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
Inside the movieclips I have some code. In this code I need the index-number of the movieclip. I'm staring the code off with: var indexr:Number = _root.i; The for-statement is so fast that all the movieclips get number 9 in the index-variable! Is there any trick to manage this, like can I get the index from the name in some way? Or do I have to work around it in some more or less complicated way?
Is it possible to have more than one condition on an if statement?eg. if something is black and if it is 40cm then do the following..both conditions must be fulfilled before the action can occur.
View 3 RepliesHow would you use an if statement to say if you're on a certain frame do this.
if(frame is # 2){
something = true
}
if(frame is # 1){
something = false
}
