All of the variables that i define in frame one appear to no longer be defined in frame 2.
Here is a snippet of the actual code from frame 1 and frame 2 in case I'm missing something.
Frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
function init() {
var markedFrom = myVariables_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
//trace("Marked From: " + markedFrom);
[Code].....
What I mean by that title is, how would I define a variable name, with a variable, and some text, for example.
ActionScript Code:
var i:Number = 0
var ["test"+i] = "Test"
Where i changes to continually give me different variables, and, in this case, I would have the variable test0.
The above gives the error "Identifier expected". Oh, and it would also be useful to know how to do it in AS3, but I mainly need to know it for AS2.

I am trying to add an init() function to a MovieClip, but when I run the function from scene1 the variables that were set in the MovieClip are not defined yet... The MovieClip was dragged to the stage from the library.scene1:

I have been playing around with combining flash and PHP/Mysql for some time now, mainly sending one flash variable to a PHP file and then retrieving a result and turning it back into a different flash variable. My problem is i've got to the stage where I need to access these variables from other functions. Now I think I need to find some way of defining them outside of the function, maybe using global vars? Well i'm not gonna pretend I know anything about it. The two functions from which I access my PHP variables is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
function btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
[Code]....
So I need a way to access the phpVar1 variable in a totally seperate function
The problem which i have is about using variables (specifically "myVar") defined in one as3 class file, in a separate class file. After searching for this via google and on this forum i have not (maybe because i have been searching for the wrong thing), so here is my situation which i think should be simple to solve:Inside a fla called "Main" i have 2 MovieClips. The first is called Main and has a class linking to the com/Main.as file which has this code:
ActionScript Code:
package com{
import flash.display.MovieClip

it's not working. why not?

Here is the problem:I have 2 external as3 files in a "com" folder next to the FLA within which i am working. The first of these ( "Main.as") is the document class. The second ("events.as") contains variable definition "myVar:Number = 0" which i want to be able to access and change inside Main.as. I am sure that this is possible, but i can't get it working (flash very keeps pointing out that I have made an error. Specifically that old classic: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: myVar." which has puzzled me since the dawn of time.
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to get these variables that are defined inside this XML Array, outside of the XML array using _global, so that i can use them else where in the animation, but i'm not getting any purchase.

The following bit of code outputs that 'myRequest' and 'i' are not defined.
Code:
//Load external asset
function loadfail():void
{
[Code].....
after a bit of reading I find that it is because 'myRequest' and 'i' are defined within functions, and so those variables are not available outside those functions. How can I get around this? Make a class?
What im going to be doing is replacing the bottom info with just a link-strip, unfortunatly I didn't want to have to sift through ten dynamic text fields re-animating every one with tweens to the way I wanted them so I set them all to a parent variable defined as "mt", such variables being as follows:HomePortfolioDocumentationDev BlogCase StudiesSupport For
View 4 RepliesI have completely hit a wall. Here's what I'm after. I have two sets of radio buttons, each of which controls what loaded swf appears on stage. Then, depending on which button is clicked in group one and which button is clicked in group two, a third swf appears. I can access the value of each radio button, and I'm passing it into a variable (I think - the trace command works) but when I drop it all together into an if/else statement, no data is passed.
Here's the code:
//printArea is a movie clip on stage, which has dynamic mc's attached via code
var thisFront;
//function for what happens when fronts radio buttons clicked
frontListener = new Object();
frontListener.click = function(evt) {

I am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),
edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .
I am trying to use buttons to jump to frame labels. They jump to the label just fine, but they won't stop when pressed again. Below is the code I am using to have the button rest when pressed again.

My flash document that has multiple frames that the user can navigate by clicking buttons. Each frame has unique symbols that will zoom to full screen when the user mouses over the thumbnails. The problem I am having is that the LAST picture that is "rolled over" stays on the page, no matter the frame.
For simpicity's sake let's say one frame has pictures of dogs that go fullscreen on rollover. The second frame has pictures of cats that go fullscreen on rollover. So when you go to the cat page, you will still have a symbol of the last dog picture you moused over from the previous frame sitting there on the cat page.The way the rollover effect is being done is a movie clip symbol. The actionscript is as follows:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(zoom == true){
prevFrame();
}
[code]...
I think it has something to do with the "this.swapDepths(100)" command. keep the symbols from "following" the user around multiple frames and, instead, just stay to their propper frame?
how to make a button stay in its over state when it's clicked, and then go back to it's up state when another button is clicked?
i can't remember how to do this.

I have a new web page I've doing that works fine except that when one clicks on a link then you have to go all the way back to the introduction of the site. What would the code be for allowing one to "stay in the same window" after clicking on this link?

I have an image that will double as a button to make it larger if you click it. on the rollovers I have a plus and minus sign depending on which size the image is currently.if you click the image and it gets larger the cursor will probably still be on the image. Therefore the minus_mc won't play until you move your cursor off then back on the image. How can I have the rollover refresh without having the cursor move off of the image?

View 6 RepliesI am trying to simulate adjusting an LCD screen's contrast using two buttons.
The LCD is one graphic on ONE key frame that runs the entire length of the timeline.
Not sure how to start with the action scripting for this... i would like to use hex values if possible, but had no luck so far with my AS2.
The hard part is that i have a text box on top of the LCD on many different keyframes and the color / brightness of the this will have to change accordingly with the LCD screen.
I am making flash segments for one of my professors for online teaching and the way he has his server set up, whenever there are interactive segments, the segments are done on one frame. Right now I am trying to make an interactive segment where you click on input variables to an AND gate (in circuitry) to change the input from 0 and 1, and then based on these inputs it will show the output.
Basically I want to start out by having them all display ?'s, and then if you click on the ? it turns into a 1 and then clicking again goes to a 0 and 1 and 0 etc. How can I either change what these buttons look like or how can I change the buttons to go from the ? button to the 1 button while all staying on one frame? I am very very new to actionscript (I know how to AddEvent Listener, etc, I just need to know what to write for my function)
I trained on flashMX back in the day and haven't done anything since so now I've got CS5 it's a bit like being at school again! I have a circular dial sat in the middle of the screen with an arrow placed on it's edge. How do I get the dial to rotate so it always faces the mouse pointer?
View 7 RepliesI have two identical-length videos that I need to stream and play back concurrently while staying in sync. The best I can do so far is keep them about a second apart, but I'm wondering if there's a way to force them to actually stay in perfect sync? Oh yeah: I'm using AS3. (Ideally, I'd just have a series of JPGs instead of the second video and load the relevant image via cuePoint, but that aspect is out of my control.)
Second, what's the best/ideal method of knowing what I can only think of as "percent buffered"? These videos I'm loading are hosted on a Flash Media Server (which I don't have control over or access to, short of loading files from it), and while bytesLoaded/Total works for progressive stuff, I know it doesn't work for streamed stuff. Full disclosure: I know very little about working with serving video in Flash (obvious, I'm sure)(I'm not using the FLVPlayback component.)

this compiles fine, but when I run it in ADL, I get:

NativeWindowRenderMode should be available in AIR 3.0?
