I have a common problem trying to obtain a Number from an xml file.I have found several people with the same problem but I didn't succeed in finding a real solutionThis is my code
Code:
itemp = xmlCity.childNodes[2].childNodes[0]

Is it possible to parse variables between different swf-files? Say that Ive got this main movie to which I load an external swf-file. Can I then send data from this externally loaded swf to the main movie?

ActionScript Code:
for each (var sButton:XML in xml.datos.menus.label.submenus)
I was thinking about the possibility of changing the tag submenus for a variable? And in the next bit of code?
ActionScript Code:
sBotonMenu.btnText.text = sButton.submenus.toString();
is it possible at all using Flash/AS to get the html source code of a webpage and parse it to get some variables from a specific part in the html code..?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to import some variables set up in a .txt file. However the variables that I would like to behave like numbers are not doing so.
I have a variable in the text file called "&middleimg=1" when I pull this in and say do the following:
Code:
var numvar:Number=0;
numvar = _root.myvars.middleimg+1;
I get "11" rather then "2" as the result. I tried setting up my text file as such: "&middleimg:Number=1" but get an "undefined" result. Is there anyway to get imported variables to behave like a number instead of a string?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a known number of variables. So I set up this code in flash[code]...
It recive "antal"which is how many variables there are. The variables name are named produkt_0 produkt_1 produkt_2 produkt_3 and so on..
So it collect the varibales correct i've checked this by set loader.data.produkt_load to loader.data.produkt_0. But since I don't know how many I just can't set loader.data.produkt_load to loader.data.produkt_0. Insted I want produkt_load be a variable like it is in my code, but it seems that loader.data.produkt_load became undefined, why this? Can't you set a variable that change in loader.data.hereismychangingvariable?

ActionScript Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(30);
timer.start();
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
[Code]....
Now, this of course gives a run time error (access of undefined property snowSpeedX) due to the fact that snowSpeedX is declared in the function onTimer. The reason it is declared their is because i want it to change everytime and so each snowflake that falls, moves in the x axis with a different speed. If i declared the snowSpeedX variable outside of the onTimer function, i wouldnt get a different value for every snowflake, i would just get one.
So, how do i get the snow flakes to have a varying range of speeds?
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 have done some (like 2 hours worth) research and have come up short, so while I browse the forums for a bit more help Basically what I'm trying to do is create a number of variables, depending on how many items are in an xml document.For example, I am running a for(){} loop to pull all the data I need out, and I would like to store it in the format:photo1.filename = whatever; photo1.value2 = whatever;
and so on. All the object property names (filename, value2 in the example) would be the same (obviously the values would be different), but I need the number of objects (photo1 in the example) to depend on how many nodes are in the xml document.
I made a .fla file that uses an "include" to pull in a bunch of variables from a .as file. I would like to be able to count the number of variables in this file so that I can make the thing more "automatic" so that if someone else in my office adds more variables to the .as file it updates itself. Similar to the way you can count children using an XML file.
View 4 RepliesI have a set if variables:
Code:
var appleCount:Number = 8;
var bananaCount:Number = 5;
var carrotCount:Number = 2;
[Code].....
What I want to do is sort them by value.
Basically I have some fruit and veg objects, and I want to add 5 randomly to the scene. So the first time you run the application, you might get a banana, apple, carrot, kiwi and grape. Then another time it might be apple, kiwi, cabbage, pineapple and banana.
But I want to make it based on how many times they have been seen previously. So if the count variables are as shown above, how can I sort the fruit and veg objects in to order, so I only add the lowest 5? Bearing in mind, the numbers might all be the same. I.e. the first time it's played, the count for all objects will be 0. So I want to choose 5 random fruit/veg with the lowest value.
I assumed the best way to do this would be to put them in to an array, sort it and select [0], [1], [2], [3] and [4]. But how can I put the values in to the array and sort them without losing the fruit/veg they are associated with?
I.e. if I end up with an array of {2,3,5,5,5,5,8}, I have no idea which fruit and veg they represent.
If I want to add or substract number variables, how can I name them to indicate they are numbers and how can I do basic math with them? If I try adding common variables like
_root.answer = _root.var1+_root.var2;
and if var 1 is = 1
and var 2 is = 2
The answer is 12 not 3
I'm starting my progression from AS2 to AS3 and am running into a glitch that has me tugging at my hair.I'm basically trying to create a button that will generate a random number and place it into a text field. However, when I try to run the script as shown, It hits me with a 1067 Implicit Coercion error message.However, if I run the currently commented out String variable test it works fine but when I try to to run the Number variable code it errors out on me.The random number generation code is working (based on the trace) but for some reason won't show up in the text field (named myText).[code]
View 2 RepliesFor the calculator i am creating i have so far got all d buttons inputting into the display area such as the numbers and the operators. However for the operators when i try to store the value into two number variables 'num1' and 'num2', i traced them to test if they were working fine however they output as 'NaN'. here is the code i have so far and the highlighted area is what i am working on currently
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var btn:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {[code].......
I need to see if the number is stored when i click on d operator. In the trace It is meant to display the number entered after i click on a operator but it displays as 'NaN' I am guessing all of that function has mistakes. it is function pressOperator i am working with
I need a AS that will load n number of variables from a txt file, which will have string values assign to them, and then in fla, it will fade in - wait - fade out in a dynamic textbox all of them one by one, and at the end it will loop it.

So, I'm just starting a bigger AS3 project. I'm still learning AS3, transitioning from AS2 and I keep getting caught up on dumb stuff. I'm creating two variables to store a maximum and minimum value for a random number generator. Here's my code.

Dear Guys I Want To Generate A Random Number Between 2 Number BUT Without Generating 2 Same Number I Mean If For Example Already Generated Number "2" Next Time Did Not Generate It , Is There Any Solution
View 5 RepliesSo I'm loading a variable into my .swf from PHP (using loadVars) and adding two loaded variables together. However, when they are added they "add on" to eachother.
Example:
varOne = 1
varTwo = 3
varOne + VarTwo = 13 (????)
I was thinking the variable may think it's a string, but I don't know how to declare the variables sent in from PHP.

View 4 RepliesInside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
