ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables With Function - Makes A Variable Based On An MC's Name
Nov 23, 2004
I have some code that makes a variable based on an MC's name:
[Code]...
but it doesn't work, yet it traces "_level0.but1menu", and trying the function as this: _level0.but1menu.easeY(100) does work. I've also attached a mock up if you want to see what I mean. al input, this one seems weird to me - but I'm sure there is a completely logical explanation. I've used the same sort of idea to open external swfs with no issue.

If the province is zoomed IN when I click another province I want it to return to its original size and have the next province that I clicked on zoom IN. Each time I zoom a province IN I want to set a variable to the value 1 so that I can use it as an indicator to let me know the status of the other provinces. Ie: if variable ON (Ontario) has a value of 1, then when I zoom IN on Manitoba I will use an IF statement to determine that Ontario is currently zoomed in (ON has a value of 1) and will zoom Ontario out prior to zooming in Manitoba. When I zoom out Ontarion I will reset the ON variable to 0. My code for Ontario looks like this[code]...

say I want to declare a global variable in my main movie on a mouse event (button) and give it a value "functionA".
then I want to load an external .swf into a clip (with the same mouse event)
then I want some code in the loaded .swf to execute a function of the same name "functionA"
how would I code this?
this way I could load the same .swf but execute different functions depending on which button triggered the load... comprende?

How can I get a variable to change based off of a function? For instance.
var imageNumber = 1;
And when I click on the next button it kicks off roughly this function.
imageNumber ++;
Effectively adding to the image number. But it is confined only to that function. The imageNumber outside of that function didnt change. How can I get the next button to change the number outside of the function?

I'm working on an application and have the following button setup:
-a movieclip for the button
-a movieclip to play behind the button on roll over (referenced to by buttonSunArray[x])
-a sound that I'd like to play (starting slightly into the sound) when buttonSunArray[x] gets to frame 14
I've used the attached code used to that end. The problem is: if I quickly pass over a button (before buttonSunArray[] gets to frame 14) and go back and sit on it (until it reaches frame 14), the volume of the soundclip increases. If I pass over the button quickly 5 times and then go back and sit on it, it's extremely loud (increases by a certain amount 5 times, I'd suppose).I've tried a number of things, like adjusting the clip volume when timeHasCome is called, but it didn't help.[code]

The main AS timeline creates the enemy instance and calls them via the timer class. Inside the instance enemy movie clip there is some script to do a basic tween and there are functions to remove the enemy and to declare you've hit the enemy. The problem I'm having is when I try to call my KillEnemy function with a MouseEvent.CLICK (or MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP) event, it isn't registering, I realised this after testing the same function to listen for a MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_OUT, it worked perfectly.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? Not just that the mouse seems to be a little delicate, even with the roll over listener called it isn't registering the event unless it hits a specific part of the movie clip enemy, which leads me to believe the movieclip is somehow built incorrectly? But even when testing the game with extreme settings (i.e. leaving the enemies on screen for a long time) the mouse clicks aren't registering still. Something is broken! Here is some of code inside the enemy movie clip, the problem lies on line 11:

I am having trouble referencing a MovieClip based on certain variables in my code. I am using Flash Player 9 as the player setting and ActionScript 3.
I have a symbol with a name "Check1" set as a MovieClip, exported for ActionScript, I have ten of these on the stage with an Instance Name of ch0, ch1, ch2...ch9.
Each ch? has 21 frames on the timeline, each with a label name (named with a Number reference "00", "32", etc...) and a different image in each keyframe.
What I would like to do based on these variables:
Code:
iTurn = 1;
iLeft = 3;
iRight = 2;
This is how I would like to use it:
Code:
Check1.ch[iTurn].gotoAndStop(iLeft+iRight);
//iLeft & iRight as a frame label and not a frame number, so in the case I would like to access framelabel "32" which is frame 10 on the timeline.
I have tried many way to try and make this work with no luck, the only way I have been able to make it work is by using:
Code:
ch1.gotoAndStop("32");
Doing this, I would have 10 clips, each with 21 possibilities. I can do this with many lines of code but I have been unable to tighten it into smaller code.

I couldn't find a good, clear question and answer for this in StackExchange, so I'll pose this as clearly as I can and hopefully get a clear, concise answer.Suppose I have a .txt* file with variables for a bunch of objects of one type that I was to load into an ActionScript 3 program. I can use an import statement such as:
[Embed(source="test.txt",mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var testFile:Class;
for some of the places where I need to do this, but I also need to know how it's different for files chosen by the user from their local hard drive.n code, how can I convert this file, testFile:Class into an array, result:Array, of strings?*: If you have a solution using .xml or another format, please also include a sample of what the file's contents would look like and how you would get them into variables within AS3Edit: Below is a quick example file I threw together, test.txt:

I have written some code to read and compare variables and then to jump to a particular frame based on the results (pretty simple stuff). It works fine when I use a button to trigger the code but I want it to happen automatically.
I have tried using the OnEnterFrame thingy but it doesn't work and I tried just placing the code on frame 1 and letting it do its thang but that didn't work either....
I'm using the .swf in a third party program and using the API for that program to supply the values.
here is the code:
_parent.InitializeExternalVars();
var m_varStrEndSlide;
function display(){

I am building a very long and detailed flash training program. I need to get a MovieClip to goto a certain frame based on the value of a variable that is defined on a keyPress.
Here is the code:
fscommand("trapallkeys", "true");
trace(nmhho);//show the value every time this frame loads
if (nmhho == 1){
Nav_Mode_Hdng_Hold_Override.gotoAndPlay(2);
}else if (nmhho == 0){
Nav_Mode_Hdng_Hold_Override.gotoAndPlay(1);
[Code] .....
The MovieClip in question is "Nav_Mode_Hdng_Hold_Override" "nmhho" is a number variable that is already defined and set to 0 initially, on keyPress of 9 it changes to 1, and when u press it again it changes back to 0, the problem is that when the page loads the "IF" statement at the beginning does not tell the movieclip to go to the proper frame.

I have a variable defined as brushSize. Depending on the value of brushSize, I want to display text in a dynamic text field that relates to its value. For brushSize values of 3, 13, 23, 33, and 43 I'd like to display 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. I'm not really sure where to begin here, but I have tried and failed with something like this:

I'm brand new to actionscript and I've decided to try and make an overhead tile scrolling game. It's been going good so far, but here is my problem:
I have the level data stored in an array, where the number represents the corresponding tile.
I have movie clips in my library called "tile_1", "tile_2", "tile_3" etc.
Anyway, what I was thinking of doing was this:
var newTileContents:("tile_"+lvlArray[i]) = new ("tile_"+lvlArray[i])();
newTile.addChild(newTileContents);
Where, if the value in the lvlArray at [i] is 2, then it will create an instance of tile_2 etc.
But I am not sure how to to type the "tile_"+lvlArray[i] bit properly.

What I'm looking to do is have an image swapped with another depending on the value of a variable, but I'd also like it to choose the image automatically.[code]...
what i want it to do is when a function is called if the var == 01 it will automatically swap that image with pic_01, if the var == 02 it will swap it with pic_02. However is there a way of doing this without having to actually write an if statement for each of the pics as there is going to be around 700 of them.

I have a very weird idea, but i can't make it work.
Theres a Movie Clip, called "bar"
And there's a variable called "Points"
Whenever we get 2 points, the MC called "bar" is moves 1 frame.
To summarize: Whenever variable "points" increase by 2, "bar" MC's frame increase by 1.

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 making a game that is tightly integrated into a rest service. I want to set variables based on what the server tells me the variable should be.
[Code]....
but then the parseUserRank() method can't directly return the value to userRank, so there would have to be an event dispatched when its available, then update then finally update the variable value....
