ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing The Name Of A Function Stored In An Array?
Oct 6, 2006
I have a "back button" scheme that includes using an array to store references to functions.However, when i have to troubleshoot something like this, one of the things i'd like to be able to trace is the names of the functions that are in the array. If i trace a for loop through the array i just get [type Function] for each function. I would like to look at it's name.Right now, im using a workaround that places objects with a func property and a funcName property, which is a string that needs to be indicated manually.

i am making a few object of action script..,what special about this object is that in the contructor function of this object is that i make it to send a sprite parameter which will act as it's parent..,var anObject:myObject = new myObject(parentSprite);and in my main project i used those object and store it in an array after adding it to the stage.i do store it to an array cause i need to be able to refer back to it..everything was fine up until i need to call function inside that object which i already stored in an array. how should i call the function in that object from an array that stored the object?

I need to create an Array of movieclips so that I'm able to read / modify / add its properties. I thought the best solution was to create an Array of strings with each movieclip's name and then using this to convert the string to an expression, but I don't really know what to do when I want to access one of its properties. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
var room:Object = new Object
room.objects = ["mcObj1", "mcObj2", "mcObj3"]
mcObj1.Description = "It's a ball and it bounces"
[Code]....

How would one go about calling a function of an object that is stored within a multidimensional array? I keep getting TypeError: Error #1006.
Code calling the function:
ActionScript Code:
_board[i][j].drawPiece(xPos, yPos);
Code of the function:
ActionScript Code:
public function drawPiece(xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void{
_piece_mc.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000);
[Code]....
The object is there. When tracing out the array for specific index it provides:
[object Piece].
Or would it just be best to use a single dimensional array? End goal is to have a board class to be able to use for checkers and then potentially chess.

does anyone know if it's possible to target values stored in an array in a function from anywhere in a movie? e.g var Pressed:Array = item trace(Pressed)
if i trace the Array name within the function it spits out values, but when i try and access the Array from outside of the function it doesn't work.

I am new to action script working with flash cs4 with action script 3.0. How do i access a UI object(stored in .fla) in action script. I have already linked these two files. It is working fine. I have a button as UI object, that was converted as symbol and instance name has already given. I cannot access the button using the instance name in actionscript. If i tried so there is no intellisense. How do i access it in script. I am using oops style of coding.

Is there a way that i can access Local SharedObject using a swf from the net.
For example, i have a .swf that creates SharedObject running locally on my desktop computer.. But when i'm somewhere else, i need to access some of the shared objects in my desktop, is that possible?

Once a button is clicked in a submenu called SelectChar(a menu class extending my menu base class), it dispatches a custom event carrying an array of variables. This event is then listened for in the main Document Class called Engine, where the value of the passed variable can be used. For testing purposes im only passing 1 arguement in the array.
my Error when trying to trace the passed variable in isolation "trace(e.arg[0]);": 1119: Access of possibly undefined property arg through a reference with static type flash.events:Event.
Okay, i hope that made sense... heres the relevent code:
custom event class: passCharEvent.as
Code: Select allpackage com.asgamer.snipergame
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class passCharEvent extends Event

I want to extend the dictionary class. Everything works so far except that in some of my methods that need to reference the dictionary's content I make a call like:
this[ key ]
It doesn't like that. It just tells me that there's no property 'key'. Is there a way to way to access the data within this class?Also, I'm using an integer for the key.
Edit: I've found that the same behavior happens when you extend Array.
var myArray : Array = new Array();
trace( myArray[ 0 ] );
var myArrayExtender : ArrayExtender = new ArrayExtender();[code]....
Where in this case, myArray returns "undefined" and myArrayExtender throws error 1069. ArrayExtender is an empty class that extends Array and calls super() in the constructor.

Anyway, I am having problems with storing movie clip objects in an array because when I try to access them, it kinda loses its properties as a movie clip. Say, i have mc_1 stored in the array,and in the course of the flash movie, a button is triggered to change its visibility to "false".. what i do is, arr[0]._visibility = false.So here's what I'm really trying to do with my school project: I have 24 movieclips, i named them field1, field2, ..., field24. I stored them in an array. Initially, they're invisible. Then, a button is clicked to show one field. If the button is clicked again, the second field is displayed, and so

I want to write a function that will load all of my external sounds stored in an array which are just strings of their filenames ie:
var soundList:Array = new Array();
soundList = ["sound1.wav", "sound2.wav", etc];
And create a new array with sound Objects that will have the sounds loaded in them (for later execution). After loading all of the sounds in the soundList array, the function should return or just set a _root value to 'true' ie:

I'm having a problem with the supposed AI that I've created for a card game that I'm making. The purpose is to have the function meant for 'player 2' to run after the human player has put down a card. What the function is supposed to do is to compare the value of the card which is stored in a array, and then according to the value assigned the AI is supposed to compared with the 4 cards in its hand and decide on which is the best possible card to pick. Though the human player's code seem to work as expected, for some reason the function for the computer did not run and instead churned out a huge chunk of data in the output. I will attach 2 separate text files; one will include the portion of the code which I highly suspect is giving the problem, the second will be the supposed error message.

I have a little bit of code that makes a nifty kaleidoscope effect, but I would like to take it one step further by having each star in the kaleidoscope gradually shift color as it expands outwards. Right now, I create randomly colored "star" movieclips by drawing 6 different triangles within the movieclip, and then add those individual "star" movieclips to a "stars" array.
What I'd like to do is use a "for...in" loop to grab the .color property of each of the "star" movieclips and change it slightly (using colorTransform?) at each ENTER_FRAME. How can I go in and access the star.color property (or is it star.transform.colorTransform?) of each of the movieclip objects that are now stored in my "stars" array?
Would it be:
Code:
for (var i in stars){stars[i].transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
}OR
for (var i in stars){stars[i].star.transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
}

I have a long timeline with a series of slides arranged along it with a labeled frame at the beginning of each slide.These slides do not have any standardized length so instead of counting out frames and jumping a set number I am trying to navigate with my previous and next buttons to frame labels stored in an array.
This works GREAT!Or rather...it works great if you're rapidly hitting the Next and Previous buttons to step through the area.The problem comes when you sit and try to watch the whole thing play out and then try to use the next button.If you have passed framelabel2 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2.If you have passed framelabel3 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2. Clearly the problem is that it does not know it has gone past framelabel1 and is thus gotoandplay-ing the next frame in the array...which is 2.I need to make it check its current position in the array before adding 1 and advancing the playhead.
var fLabels:Array = new Array("start1", "start2", "start3", "start4", "start5", "start6", "start7");
var cLabel:Number = 1;
function nextPlayClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {[code].....

I'm looking for a good method to compare a single bitmap data instance against an array of stored bitmap data objects. I need to figure out how I can compare and arrive at the conclusion that the result either means that the images are of the same object/aka similar or if they are two totally different images. I tried checking threshold of the result of the compare() function but my efforts have failed so far.

ive come across this method 'as' and I dont get it.I am following a tut, and i have an array with my objects stored in it(for reference to control these sprites).They are instantiations of my sprite class 'Ball.as'
Code:
for(i=0;i<3;i++){
var myMCs:Ball = myMCs[i] as Ball;
}
when I remove it - flash doesnt seem to mind its absence.
