I have an online app that allows a user to select as many strings as they want from a dynamic textbox, then run a function on them. Can you do that without a for loop so that it runs the function on them all at once?
View 4 RepliesI was just wondering whether it was possible to perform a function after a period of time.like +2 to hp every 6 seconds.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if this concept is doable:
Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)
Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)
every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:
if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....
this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc
"playbutton1"._visible=false;
doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.
My goal is to change the time for setInterval each time the function is called. Planning to replace myInterval = 5000; with a randomized number. My problem is getting setInterval to recognize the myInterval variable from the function.

View 3 RepliesI have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?
i have a class that has something like this
public class Foo {
public var f:Function;
public void method(s:String)

so i need to assign to the f a function that takes an argument f(s), something like
myFoo.f = thefunction
function(s:String)
how to do all this, so it will work correctly?
Does anyone know an url where I can get the current time as either a string or a number? Or how do I solve the problem that flash can't create an external time? Or does anybody have a
perl-file that they wouldn't mind sharing with me that could do the trick
Code:
//........
firstArray=myString.split("|");
for (i=0; i<firstArray.length; i++) {
secondArray.push(firstArray[i].split("#,"));
}
a piece of my code that creates a two dimensional array. I need to take this one step further and split(",") secondArray and create thirdArray
would anyone give me a hand with this or just get me on the right track?
I have a file uploader which I generate a random key with, and this key is used in the url to identify what file to download. But this key does not regenerate istelf between each upload unless I refresh the page.[code]
View 9 RepliesI'm developing a compiler generator in actionscript 3 with flash builder 4. I need to find a way to:
1.- Execute code inside of a string.
it could be very complex code, not just trace() functions but complete code
2.- Another alternative can be to tell to the actionscript compiler to compile the code autogenerated from my compiler generator.
I'm trying to use the Simple Encryption Key Generator Class found here - http:[url]..........Everything seems to working properly except the hash encryption key that is returned is the same string every time (as mentioned in the the comments of the link above). locate an updated version of this class.
View 1 Repliesi need to upload a ridiculously huge text file into Flash MX 2004 and turn it into an array. The loading part is not a problem: the issue is splitting the array.
The original string is approximately 531,000 characters long and needs to be turned into a multi-dimensional array of 3500 elements split into another 20 elements (array[3500][20]). Unfortunately when I try to make the initial split into 3500 elements (which I would later need to split again into 20 using a for loop) the Flash takes a ridiculous amount of time to load.Most of the time Flash just crashes: I tried splitting the string into just 50 elements and it took me around 7 seconds. My computer usually has no problems with basic tasks like these.
So, what should I do? Is there a way to change memory allocation to Flash? Should I split the string? Should I create multiple text files, load them into separate loadVars objects and split those? Or am I just trying to do something too big for Flash?
Given the following example SWF: Sample Notice how with the words "enthusiast" at the end of the first line and "write" at the end of the second line, that they start to type out on the first line but after a few letters they are bumped.
I understand this is the correct behavior, but is there a way for "enthusiast" to begin being typed on the second line, and "write" on the third line instead of being bumped during the typing?
Currently I am thinking of doing a search ahead mechanism, so it finds the next word in whole, then makes that the active word to print, temporarily print it, see if it increases the numlines, and if it does insert a line break and continue writing. But it seems fiddly.

Is there a good way to get the name of a function in as3 in a String or as a String. I have seen sneaky ways by forcing an Error call and stack trace, but that is not what I am look for.
View 5 RepliesI want to have a loader function that passes the loaded data to the correct function. So I can do this:[code]Is there any way to type the second variable to avoid the clumsy switch routine, like so:Function (sendTo) ();
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to call a function from a string? such as if I passed the name of a function to this function, is there a command to convert the string to a function call? :
function CallSpecific(passedFunctionName:String)
I used String, but it was just a guess...
Is there any way that you can pass a string to a function and use its value as the variable name you wish to change. For example.
Code:
var text:String = "Goodbye World";
function myfunction ( varToChange)
{
varToChange = "Hello World";
}
myfunction("text")
I'm trying to create a simple xml search function that searches an xml file for a string, and if that string is found in the xml, display the node which contains that string in a text box.I have the simple search function working, but what I can't do is return the specific node. Right now, the function is returning all the xml data instead. If someone could take a look and possibly lend some guidance as to how to return the specific daya, I would be much oblidged. Hope this makes sense, if not, let me know and I'll do my best to clarify.[code]
View 6 RepliesI am currently connecting to a PHP string in actionscript. While I'm having no trouble importing the variables like so:
Code:
this(variable);
I am having trouble referencing the same variable while inside a function:
Code:
_root.ButtonMovie.onRelease = function() {
this(variable);
}
I really need to reference the variable while INSIDE the onRelease function, because I need to apply some actions based on how many times the button has been pressed.
I have a class that has a timer function built into it. When this timed function is called, I would like to be able to call another function when the timer is finished (which I would do in the TIMER_COMPLETE handler).
If I pass the name of the function to my class function, could I use that string(?) to call the function at the end of my timer?

First post, frequent lurker. I'm wondering if it's possible to cast a string as a function in AS3, for example
var foo:String='myFunctionName';
var dynamicFunction:Function;
// pseudoCode (this used to be done with eval() in ancient versions of AS).
dynamicFunction=Function(foo);
dynamicallyCreatedMovieClip.addEventListener(Mouse Event.ROLL_OVER,dynamicFunction)

I would like to download a function as a string from my server into a Flash swf-document on the computer of a customer. So this download would be executed client-side. Then I would like to 'execute' the string, just as I do with the 'eval'-function in php/javascript.The important thing here is that the function is not stored client-side on the harddisk (like the swf-document) and that the function only remains in the computer memory.
View 12 RepliesI thought I would share a simple pad string function I created briefly... I know that there may be other similar functions already out there but I decided to make it anyway. It's basically a ripped off as3 version of the str_pad() php function.
Examples:
trace(stringUtils.stringPadLeft('7',4,'0','left')) ; // Traces 0007
trace(utils.stringPadLeft('whatever',2,'~','left') ); // Traces whatever
trace(utils.stringPadLeft('hi',20,'-','left')); //Trace ------------------hi

Does anyone know of a parser for math functions?
Basically, I want to be able ot take a string such as:
(x + (x - 3)/2 * 4)^2
and compute the answer. Before I make the parser on my own, I thought I'd check to see if anyone has something similar already made.
