ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable To Function By Ref?

Feb 23, 2011

If I remember correctly, objects are being passed to functions by reference, so I wrapped my primitive variable into object but did not get the resilt I wanted. I combed this group to see the solution and found only this one:

function changeObjectStatus(obj)
{
return obj.status = true;
}

[Code]....

var v seems to be a new object rather then a reference to the old one. and changing v does not affect the original object.

Does this mean that if I want the function to work with several variables, I need to create a separate object for each variable?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Instance Name To Function As A Variable?

Apr 24, 2006

k the idea is that this movie keeps tracks of whatever page it's on using the variable current. when the button evolution is clicked it should jump to frame 2 of the movie whose instance name is contained in the variable current and also pass this variable to a function called alpha which fade that movie's instance when moving to another page - then that page's name will be assigned to current.

this is the code that i have now..

#include "alpha.as"
evolution.onRelease = function() {
this[current].gotoAndPlay(2);
this[current].alpha(5, 0);
};

all these buttons and movie instances are contained in the same movie clip and the variable current is declared in it too.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing A Variable To Global Function In Another Mc?

After having recently just discovered the delights of actionscript, I am at a loss to work this out. I'll explain:I have a series of buttons which, when each one is clicked, need to grab their instance name (this._name), strip the first three characters from it and send it to a global function in another mc within the swf.Instead of stripping the characters, I am happy to do:

if (this._name == dot1) {
dotVar = 1;
} else {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Variable Types For Passing In A Function?

Mar 17, 2009

I'm trying to write a robust "eventMaker" function that I can run with arguments that will then create an event listener based on the arguments.

However, I can't seem to get it to pass the arguments. Functions are impossible to pass; it can't convert string versions back to functions, and passing the function as type :function just yields "function() function{}".

The same is true with strings and class definitions - if I want it to refer to an object in my other .AS file called "helloWorld", I can't make it think of helloWorld as anything other than a string or an object, and when I write commands based on it I get errors.

So how do I contain classes, functions, et al in variables that I can then reference again, in code, as those functions/classes? How can I convert a string value to something that the code will know is a reference?

CS3 Passing A Variable Through A URL Into A SWF
