ActionScript 2.0 :: Variable Is Number But Acts Like String
Apr 15, 2006
So I load a variable, length, into a LoadVars instance.
Code:
trace(this.length); //outputs 3
var tempLength:Number = this.length; //tempLength should be the number representation of the loaded value
thisObj.buttonLength = tempLength+2; //I need to add 2 onto the this.length value
trace(thisObj.buttonLength); //outputs 32, which kind of makes sense, but I need it to output 5.
thisObj.buttonLength is declared as a number, and Flash does not output a type mismatch.

Is there a way to test a string, such as the one below to see if it's an actual number value? var theStr:String = '05'; I want to differentiate between the string value above and one such as this: var theStr2:String = 'asdfl';

I would like to make a dynamic button on a website I am working on. I would like one button to update a variable, and another set of buttons to add 1 or subtract one from the variable I have buttons on the left side of the page for some bands that load conent into an empty movie clip.
The website: [URL]
I would like to set up some forward and backward arrows above that content on the right, so users can also scroll through the content in order. So if someone loads the content for soul asylum, and click the back arrow, it goes back to the Wailers, and if they click the forward arrow, it goes to Swollen Members. So there is an order of pages: 1. Wailers, 2. Soul Asylum, 3. Swollen Members, 4. Passafire, 5. Beats Antique, 6. SFM Kind of an order of importance. The idea is if somebody starts by clicking #3 Swollen Members, my application will know that it is on #3 and the arrows will go to #2 or #4.
Is there a way for the main artist buttons on the left to reset a variable for the current slide? So if someone clicks on the Swollen Members picture button, a variable called currentselection equals 3 And then when the forward arrow is clicked, it will ad 1 to the current selection and load movie #4
So in VB the main Swollen Members button would be something like: im currentselection as int = 3 Which would reset the current page as 3
Then the forward arrow would have code like:
Dim Nextselection as Int
Nextselection = & currentselection +1 & ".swf"
And the button in flash would be something like:
on (release) {
loadMovie("Nextselection", "rightcontent_MC")}
Which would load 4.swf the slide for passafire.
So how would I do this in action script 2.0?

I have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)

Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:

f 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 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;

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?

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?).

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.

I created a movie clip that i want to act as a button. Inside that movie clip i place 2 graphic symbols (in different layers) that each have a tween of 30 frames. In a different layer i put a stop(); at frames 1 and 30. Then i create a fourth layer writing the following code for all 30 frames:
Code:
var rewind:Timer = new Timer(10);
var rootButton:MovieClip = MovieClip(parent);
rootButton.RR_mc.buttonMode = true;
rewind.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, rewindHandler);
[Code]...
1. On mouse over the movie clip (RR_mc) start playing normaly untill frame 30 where stops.
2. On mouse out the movie clip starts rewind going frames backwards. Now if i put my mouse over the movie clip, before rewind reach frame 1 the rewind stops and the movie start playing again. 2b. If the movie clip reach frame 1 after rewind, then is not stopping and continues to give frame 1 (if you put a trace(this.currentFrame(); you get infinite 1s). On mouse over the movie clip afterwards i can see that trying to start play but it's progress is max 2-3 frames before the rewind routine pull it back at frame 1.
3. If i transfer the timer and it's function to the parent directory then everything work fine.
I want to write all the code for the button inside the child directory of that button, is it possible?

I've moved back to AS2 fairly recently since it's web compatible and a nice break from C++. Anyways, what I was trying to do is to create a battle system that shows the amount of damage that you've hit. The best I could do, though, is make a static textfield that randomly goes around the enemy and show a different number since the "attack" hits multiple times at once. I originally used a MC with 15 frames, one for each number, and animated them accordingly as well as using attachMovie() to create the effect that I wanted, but that didn't work for much larger numbers in the hundreds.

I have a problem sending a String as a number..
I have a text field called score0 :-
var score = score0.text;
The string (score0.text) will have an "s" at the end as the time is counted in seconds and tenths, so I will be receiving something along the lines of "8.1s" as a value.. I would like to take score0.text, remove the "s" then *1000 the amount as a number before use..

Im looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)
