I have a movie clip on the main timeline that includes a button.When pressed, I want this button to conduct an if statement to check the contents of a textbox on the main timeline and if equal execute the statement.So far I have this but the text does not seem to 'read'. Do I need to pass the textbox contents into a string variable rather than read directly from what is in teh text?[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to have the whole of the argument in an if statement represented by a variable string. Is this possible? I am yet to get the code to work:
Code:
var featureLimit:String = "featureType == "logo_ci4" || featureType == "logo_ss2" || featureType == "logo_db"";
//if statement contained in a for loop which gathers the featureType variables
if(featureLimit){
//Do something
}
I want to declare a variable on the main timeline that can be called from anywhere in my movie. So, _global var should be the right approach. I want to declare a movie clip 'MC1' "open", or "closed" so that when it is revisited, my flash file knows the user has been there before and performs a different task from the one it does when 'MC1' was first encountered. So, i need a 'if' statement to run from the variable, when the playhead encounters the movieClip.

This may be an obvious search, but I'm not totally sure on the proper syntax... basically what I want to do is:
private function makeISchedule(data:Array, label:String = null):ArrayCollection{
var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
for (var i:int = 0; i<data.length; i++){

I have a project that returns a serial #. I simply need to validate that the serial number has an _ "underscore".
Can anyone provide a sample if statement that will return a bollean if the string has an _ .
Is it possible to do a statement such as if(string == undefined) { }?I'm pulling the strings from XML. I'm just trying to not have to go through and put x=" " for each empty childNodes in the XML where this variable isn't necessary.
View 1 Repliesf you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I want a way to pass a string statement from one base class to an other. The two classes are CLICK and READ.What's an easy way to do this? I haven't worked in classes that often to know some of the simple tricks.

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

If i have an ASP page that is returning variables (and I can see them in the debugger) how do i consentrate a string to call that variable?
ie:
variables being returned are named:

Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(imageArray[j][1],"gi"); trace(imageArray[jTemp][2].replace(re,"-"));
imageArray[jTemp][2] is a string imageArray[j][1] is a string as well I'm not getting the result I expect. I would like trace above to return 'permanentContainer-' Here are the traces for the above variables
permanentContainer-temporaryContainer- temporaryContainer
Code 2 assume that main = main + sub even if it doesn't exist outside the if statement, that's obvious since sub is an empty string.

I need a solution to this simple problem.
var myName:String = "Pink Floyd Sound";
var i:Number;
myFig = new Array();[CODE]....
I want to display the string text 10 times using the for loop. I did this, and all I get is undefined.
What I'm trying to do is simply this:
<variable> = mvcShip
var ship1 = _root.attachMovie( <variable>, shipName + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth() );
What i am trying to attempt here is to make the variable equal to the name of an item in my library. (Im using this to use different ships in an old arcade-style vertical shooter). This is meant to make a ship appear on stage.
When <variable> is replaced with a library item (eg. mvcShip), it works fine, but if the variable is in place, i get a trace value of ship1 as "undefined", and the ship doesnt show up on the stage.
how 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?
Somewhere in code i have decalred variable:
[Code]...
if I use in statement xml-child distinct of nameWin (summa, e. g.), it works good. But with nameWin, e4x compares local variable nameWin (which not interested for me at all at this time) with "necessary name" instead of compare item's nameWin with "necessary name".
i am trying to find out if it is possible to check on more than one variable in an if statement at a time as i am usure how, so is it possible in as2 to check on more than one varialble if answer is equal to the number 1 and answer is to the number two and also the number three perform a function
var answer1:Number =1;
var answer2:Number =2;
var answer3:Number =3;
if(answer == 1 ) and answer == 2 and answer ==3);
if(answer == 1 and answer == 2)
How can I test a undefined variablewith an if statement.all a this did not work and I don't want to define a value for this variable.name of the variable x.

i'm getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
How can I test a undefined variablewith an if statement.
all a this did not work and I don't want to define a value for this variable.
name of the variable x.
if ((x == "") || (x == " ") (x == Nan))

trace("here");
}
Someone could find me the correct if statemtn to check an undefined variable on action script 1, mx 6..develloped with MX2004Pro.
In my movie I load a swf to a movieclip with this code
PHP Code:
_root.ImageViewer.loadMovie("deneme.swf");
Now can I do this? before calling the swf named deneme. When I press a button If I attain a number to a global variable with this code
PHP Code: on (release) {_global.myVar = 5;gotoAndPlay("CloseUpAnimation");}
Can I read this variable from the swf which I load into my movie?If I can read how can I write a If Statement that will gotoAndPlay according to that variable?

This is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.
[Code]...
Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".
To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

I would like to dinamically create array variables, depending on a XML file. The problem I have is that I don't know how to create them dinamically using a name I have constructed into a string variable. What I would like is something like this:
var strVarName;
...
strVarName = "Var" + i;
var strVarName = new Array();
...
So I would have n arrays called Var1, Var2, ... Varn.
In the following class
Code:
package
{
public class Factory
{

A break point on the "Okay" line shows that x1 is null but x2 is equal to "<entity id="DRONE" points="100"/>".
If I take the whole block out of the switch statement, both x1 and x2 are equal to the expected xml.
Given this: if(myVar){}, what will pass as true or false?In JavaScript for example, false are values like null, undefined, 0, '' (empty string), false.
View 2 RepliesI want to change a variable when a button is pressed. lingo: if this button is pressed then check varexample what number it has if it has a number then gotoAndPlay("example") and add 1 to varexample else, do nothing I'm sure if I get this kind of example down, I'll be able to figure the rest out by myself. =S
View 5 RepliesThis shouldn't be too difficult. Heres my code:
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
var box[i]:Object = new Object()

box[i].location = "default"
box[i].type = "default"
But its not working. I keep getting error messages concerning the var box[i] statement.
I have a for statement, using an incrementing variable "a." A dynamic amount of herbs are generated, so here is the for statement.
Code:
for(a=1; a<_global.herbAmount+1; a++) {
var herbMC = _root["herb"+a];
trace(herbMC);
}
When I trace "a," it traces 1, 2, 3 or however many numbers there are up to the global herbAmount number. When I trace _root["herb"], _level0.herb pops out. When I add "a" onto _root["herb"], undefined is traced....why?
