I have this line of [code]...
MOBNAME is the variable that contains the name of the monster that attacked me, and I need to know what I need to put to use the value and not the name of the variable.[code]...
I'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected. My question is, how can I pass the variable so that the resulting line of code doesn't have the quotes around the variable value.
var playnoyes='true';

I was wondering how you can make variable code within code, for example, normally, you can use this["blabla"+variable]; to make the code say blablavariable. But now i want to make new variables by using this code, within a for loop [using teller1 as the increasing value] this["var ringsegment_mc:Ring_"+teller1+"=new [Ring_"+teller1+"]()"]; which i basically want to have say:var ringsegment_mc:Ring_1=new Ring_1();
but this doesnt work, it doesnt make a variable called ringsegment_mc. why I want to do this, is because i need to make an add child which makes 16 parts, from 16 different movieclips.

Well basically what I want to do is have my code figure out that a variable has changed value and then call a function to store that value in my class.I have a component with a text box in it that displays a value gotten from either typing in the box or moving a slider. I then need the last value (where they stop sliding or typing) to be stored in my class
View 4 RepliesI've been trying all morning to figure this out but I'm really not the best when it comes to actionscript. I've looked around and I just simply don't have a clue how to adopt other code to fit my own .I have the following code
Code:
function reActivateTopMenu() {
_root.top_nav.btn1.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.top_nav.btn1.enabled = true;[code]....
I just can't figure out the exact way of writing the code in "flash" talk and not "dave" talk!
Flash CS3, AS 2.0 so I have an XML file containing the number 72, and this script:
Code:
var imageNumber = new XML();
imageNumber.load("imageNumber.xml");
Then later, this script:

The problem is, the variable doesn't carry into my second bit of code. I can add a button and use trace to display the correct variable in the output box, so I know it's getting into Flash. The problem is that it's not applying itself to the second piece of script. Triple checked that the code with by putting in the number manually and using a normal variable, only when I use the XML file as a variable does it refuse to work. I'm very new to Flash so sorry if I've left any important information out, but can anybody shed some light on this?
In other language I can use this kind of sentences:

How can achieve this? because the above code does not work.
I am having a big problem with some drag and drop code I am trying to write. Basically I have two lists of draggable components, the components and their symbols. The user has to drag the correct component with its matching symbol on drop area which are labelled.When the user gets the right component in the right drop point it has a counter which keeps track of which single part is in the right place.I am having trouble in making a counter which increases when two matching components are placed correctly and to decrease when either of the components are taken out of their correct place...my problem is that it will decrease when a components is just picked up and dropped back into the correct place.If anyone understands my problem and can have a look at the code below Code fr one drag object (in this case a off switch)
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this.dropped = 0;

I run a demo code,it extends Sprite,like follows:
public class Vehicle extends Sprite{ protected var _position:Vector2D; public function Vehicle(){ _position = new Vector2D(); draw(); } protected function draw():void{ graphics.clear(); graphics.lineStyle(0); [code]....
I don't understand following code,because I only define _position and don't define position variable,why I can use position.x? x = position.x; y = position.y;
How do I change the application state in code, using a variable? when I provide a static string it works fine, but not with a variable.

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.

I am being a bit puzzled on figure out how to release temporary identifiers to recycle them.For instances, suppose that I have 2 loops to instantiate dynamic mcs from library like this:
Code:
var zz:Number;
for (zz=0;zz<=4;zz++)[code]....
If I run this snippet of code, the compiler will complain and tell that I have a "Duplicate variable definition".I cannot understand why it doesnt complain when it is redefined five times within the first loop, and just complain because the second lop.Anyway, there is a way to release the _mc identifier then I can reuse it? I am an addicted to standartize names and recycle code...
I have trouble passing a variable from HTML to Flash.I use swf-object2.2.how to code the variable in the html-file and how to receive it in the as-file?Its a simple shopId = 110
View 3 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".
As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I've created a simple Flex application to fetch an XML file. I need a Flex variable "id" to grab the "letters" value from the tag in the XML code, then show the id in an Alert window. When I run this code now (with the full code), the Alert box is blank.When I run the application in Flex Debug mode, this is what Flex sees: http:[url]....Below is the Flex and XML code (edited to only show what's not working):

here's a part of my code:
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (enemy0.hitTest(this)) {
enemy0.speed = 0;
} else {

Note the red code, I need to repeat this an unknown amount yet multiple times but with the number on the end of enemy incremented by 1 each time. It starts with 0 as you can see the code just above the red. I heard about for loops using 'i' but im unsure about how to use it.
edit: ah, this forum isnt letting me highlight red. Everything in this editor is also failing. well, when I say code in red i mean this code:
if (enemy1.hitTest(this)) {
enemy1.speed = 0;
} else {
enemy1.speed = 1;
}

View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a workaround to the "AdSense does not let you choose only images but no flash" issue. I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.
View 1 RepliesI have attached a simple test fla.I am trying to centralize my code in all my movies using dot notation instead of spreading my code all over the place. It never works, I must be doing something wrong.The test .fla has a movieclip with a timeline animation. I used the linkage identifier to name it 'reload' AND named the instance 'reload'.
_root.reload.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The pointer doesnt even change to a hand.
Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

I've literally been staring at this for 7 hours. I'm missing something.I have two movie clips on the stage. The instance name of the first is puzzleAK. The instance name of the second is pieceAK.The first is linked to a custom class called GeoPuzzle. The second is linked to a custom class called GeoPiece.The code compiles but throws an error (as explained).The code in the main timeline:

Is there a way to make code on the timeline and code in a separate AS file communicate with each other?I have two buttons, a yes button and a no button.I have a confirm box which is a movie clip. In the movie clip I have the two buttons on it and code so that every time one of the buttons is clicked it runs a function.I have the rest of my code for the movie (so the code to make the confirm box appear) on a separate AS file.Is there a way I can define the functions on the movie clip and run the functions with the separate AS file?
