Feb 15, 2011so I've been working on this project that uses about 10-15 frames of AS3. On each frame the 'total' variable is updated (added to). By the end, the user is supposed to be taken to another frame (1 of 2) based on the value of 'total'. I have used the trace() method and up to that point the 'total' variable appears to be updating properly, but then when I get to this page it ALWAYS directs them to frame 18 no matter what their total is. Is there an error in my code? (I assume so lol..)
Code:

Flex :: Global Variable - Updating To Current ID
Aug 10, 2011I am trying to work with a global variable in Flex and it does not appear to be working correctly. In my default mxml file I declare the following
public var appID:int;
This variable keeps track of the session ID across my application for SQL purposes. On another mxml page I call the following code which should update the global variable to the current ID.
// Get the ID
sqlStatement.text =
"SELECT Max(id)FROM applications";
sqlStatement.execute();
var result:SQLResult;
result = sqlStatement.getResult();
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID = result.data[0];
Lastly I run a SQL Update query using the ID as a parameter. My problem is that the FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID is always 0, for some reason the global variable never gets updated, I have checked to ensure that result.data[0] is correct but the value never gets passed to the global variable.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating A Variable Which Is Held In An Array
May 23, 2011I'm using the following parallax class, which I downloaded from fuoridalcerchio.net, but it's no longer available:[code]I created a mc container named parallaxContainer, which holds the parallax items, and defined it's class as ParallaxBox. Then, to initialize the class, I used (as per the instructions that once were posted on the site I mentioned):[code]
Right now I have just added one item for testing purposes (bg) and it works perfectly as long as I don't resize the browser window. I'm no programmer, but as far as I can tell, the class adds items to the array "theObjects" using the function addParallaxItem. The first value is the instance name of the object to add, the second is the horizontal range in pixels which the object is allowed to pan (set to 960 since my stage is 960px wide) and the third is the vertical range(which is set to 0). I can't post the link since my post count is less than 50, but the thing is if the browser window is larger than 960px, the "bg" movieclip shouldn't travel 960px to either side to reach the edge. I'm not very good at math, so I don't know how to calculate the new distance it should travel, which should be less. If someone wants to help, I can PM the link so that you can see what I mean.[code]Obviously, even though the value of the variable is updated, it's not passed to the array.
ActionScript 2.0 :: _visible.variable Not Updating Correctly?
Feb 28, 2009I am a little new to actionscript and I have run into a wall that I can't break down. Basically, I am using the _visible. command to turn on and off some overlapping movie objects (it's a complex actionscript button). The actionscript works just fine click on a button and it turns red click on another button and the first button turns black while the latter now turns red. The problem is that something in my actionscript is causing the following to occur. I click the first button and it goes red. I click the second button and it goes read. The first button stays red until I rollover my mouse on the button (I don't have any rollover functions) and all of a sudden it seems to refresh and go back to black as it should have done automatically..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Variable In A Path To A MovieClip?
Apr 20, 2010using a variable in a path to a MovieClip.
I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want it to open and the previous one to close.
I'm storing the previous tab as a variable (_previousTab) but am having trouble adding the variable to the path to the MovieClip of the previous tab. The error Flash gives me is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

If I replace mainframe[_previousTab] with the name of the MovieClip it works fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the variable being a String perhaps?

How can I make the variable "hide_hotbox" and others like it accessible and changeable from any movie clip -- whether they be nested in other movie clips or on the main timeline, etc?
