Wanted to know if it is possible to make a bool-variable in flash that is set to 'false' by default. It then checks if a file exists at a certain location, and if so, the bool-variable is set to 'true' ?
Something like:
if (c:/myTextfile.txt == true){*do stuff here*;}
What would be the correct code?
How do you verify if a variable contains a specific set of characters. Let's say: my_var="My name is Peter and I like apples";
How do I test if my_var contains de word "Peter"?
I am trying to pass a variable from a text file into a variable in flash and trace it to screen. This is what I have done so far, but its not working. I have created a text file in the same folder as my flash. In the text file I have this:
loadedtext=hello
flash code:
function myFunction(){
trace("Data is loaded");
} var container:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
container.onLoad= myFunction;
container.load("demo1.txt");
trace(container.loadedtext);

I'm trying to check to see if a variable exisits using:
if (_root.displayCurrentvar.length > 0)
is there a function I could use like isNull ?
if (XMLData.product[i].image[0].thumb) {thumbURL = XMLData.product[i].image[0].thumb;}Returns: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.Same withif (XMLData.product[i].image[0].thumb!=undefined) {thumbURL = MLData.product[i].image[0].thumb;}
View 2 RepliesI'm getting the "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." error on my application. Is there a function I can use to detect this before it causes an error... maybe something like:
isValid(variableName);
I know there's one, because i've used it before, but i can't remember what it is right now.
I have an array that has a lot of values including a lot of 'false' values.Is there any way of removing the 'false' values that is faster than this[code]...
View 1 RepliesIn flex, how to check if a variable exists? I have tried using
if (this['some_variable'] != undefined) {
//do something
}
There is a run time error saying the property some_variable does not exists. I have checked with null instead of undefined, still the same error.
Based on the replies I have used this.hasOwnProperty('variable_name'). I found that its returning true if variable_name is a public but false if its private/protected. How to check for a private variable?
I'm attempting to make a platform game. Each level is contained within it's own MovieClip, which has it's own class. Each of these classes extend the Level class, which provides basic functionality for all levels.
Each individual level has a numPlatforms variable which stores the number of platforms in that particular level. I currently have a for loop that runs from 1-numPlatforms and sets the level area (the image, more or less) the platform contains:

Is there any way to check if a variable exists within a MoveClip? I've trying comparing it to null and also to undefined, but neither works.
1- Variable Scope : Accessibility and existence are used almost interchangeably in various documents I've read. I'd like to know if a local variable physically exists (in memory) outside of the function it was declared in, and is not accessible from other methods, or if its existence ceases outside the function.
2- Classes : When do you create an instance of a class versus importing it only, specifically in the case of classes used only as say, calculators ?
How can I verify an swf has loaded, then tell it to do something?
loadMovie("clip.swf", "mcHolder");

View 1 RepliesI am working on a CD project in flash. I have a main Projector(.exe) file which call other swf files. I compile all these files(.exe and swf) to installable CD which copy all the files on the local hard disk and make a shortcut on the desktop.
Now the problem is that I want to run my .exe file only if CD is in CDROM otherwise it loads another swf(from the local hard disk) which shows the message "please insert the CD and restart the application".
What I want to do is what parseInt and parseFloat does..basically I want to take ANY string and a radix value from 2->36, and then cut the leading part of the string that makes it a value in that radix.Let's call this method "cutValueFrom( str:String, radix:uint ):String".[code]and yes I could technically bang this out in some long ugly loop... but I want it faster then that. parseInt does it speedy like, I'm looking for something comparable, hence my desire for a good RegularExpressio.

I am a total newbie and just learning from resources available here.. Today i was trying If statements to verify if the password entered in input box named "pass" . I code is as following..
on (release){
if (pass =="acc"){

}else{
gotoAndPlay(15);

Even if I enter the correct password it displays the content in frame 15.
Using Flash CS4, whenver I try to publish anything, I get this message:
The file 'toplevel.as', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 2.0, could not be found. Please make sure the directory '$(LocalData)/Classes' is listed in the global classpath of the ActionScript Preferences.
$(LocalData)/Classes is listed, and toplevel.as is in C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS4CommonFirst RunClasses
What is the problem? How do I verify or change the value of $(LocalData)
I am uploading files, jpgs, pngs, gifs, using filereference ... no problems.
my concern is the validity of the files that a user might upload.
for instance, I took a .txt file, changed it's extension to .jpg, and filereference was able to upload it to my server ( furthermore my php script was able to create a copy of it, resize the copy, and save it also ).
I have made my contact form and it works, but I need some kind of script to work with the "email" text field. I need it to only send me mails with real email addresses.
Btw. the form is off of this: [URL]
I want to verifiy if user insert an email. example:

I'm working on a simple non-XML-based slide show where the container MC dynamically loads sequentially numbered files (01.swf, 02.swf, 03.swf, etc). As you may already be gathering, I want to write a little loop that returns true if the file is there, e.g. if there's only files, 01.swf � 07.swf and the loop checks for 08.swf and doesn't find it, it returns false. BTW, in this particular case checking loader MC's _width won't work, so I need an alternative to that.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a form in actiocsript that verifies correct user input before submitting. So far I have the form checking that NewEmail contains characters, an "@" symbol and a "." symbol. However is there code that can check that the layout of the email is correct before submitting i.e. <"sometext"@"sometext"."sometext">
Also I need to insert a seperate name verifier to check that there are no numbers included in a text box. This is my code so far:
_global.detailsCheck = function() {
if ( _root.NewEmail.length == 0 | _root.NewEmail.length == "" | _root.NewEmail eq "") {
// Alerts the user that their password is incorrect
_root.Guide2 = "Please Fill All Detail Fields";
