ActionScript 2.0 :: Array Syntax Error Or Sheer Impossibility?
May 31, 2008
ok, I got this doubt wich is kinda making me wonder for a while. scenario:_I've got a movieclip with a bunch of buttons inside that invoke a function and send parameters to it.no sweat so far._those buttons are named with a specific word followed by "_btn". that word is the same as the one that goes in the parameter. for example:ode:gobbledigook_btn.onRelease = function() {_root.myFunction(gobbledigook)}question:I'd like to be this work with a for loop, so I don't have to repeat the code for every button. so this is what I did:
Code:
_root.wordsList = ["bafflegab", "esculent", "kakistocracy", "palimpsest", "quincux"]
for(i=0;i<_root.wordsList.length;i++){
[code].....

I'm trying to load data from an external text file into an array. I created an array and am able to load the data into an array if I explicitly say something like
ActionScript Code:
array[0] = event.target.data.uid1_name;
I can then do a trace statement on array[0] and it will output the correct name from the file. My problem is I'm trying to iterate through the variable names in the text file in the file by using an index variable. This is the code I'm using after doing all the URLloader, URLRequest, and so forth stuff:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 0; i<20;i++){
fArray
= event.target.data.uid_name;
}
This produces a syntax error. I've tried several other syntax variations but haven't been able to figure it out. I've also tried the following:
fArray
= event.target.data["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray = event.target.data.["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray
= event.target.data."uid"+i+"_name";
All three of those also give me errors. For the first one the trace statement outputs "undefinded" instead of "Doug". For the second I get "syntax error. Expecting identifier before left bracket". And for the third I get "syntax error, expecting identifer before uid.":
syntax to iterate the number after uid(uid1_name, uid2_name, uid3_name, etc)?

1.) I have the following exact code for a button in a keyframe on the timeline (not in the button itself and of course excluding the quotes)
"
on (release) {
getURL ("www.yoursite.com", "_blank");
}
"
and I get the following error when I try and preview in Flash CS3 1087 : Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.
2.) Also, I have another layer with a "stop" action taking place at the same time that this button occurrs, however, once I have the script in the keyframe for the button, it seems to override the stop action. So, basicly, IM looking to stop the movie and get this button to, once clicked, open a web address.

A friend of mine gave me this template that she want me to edit (change color etc) but when I try to export it, it gives me this error 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before 21431. (13 times - on every as file it loads from) 21431 = the name of the .fla file, also there's a folder called "21431_fla" where it loads a bunch of as files from. When I choose "Go to source" on one of the errors in the compiler it opens up a file (i.e. AboutPageContents_35.as) from the 21431_fla folder - and I guess the error comes from (and I did some searching on the web regarding this) it starting with the line;
ActionScript Code: package 21431_fla As I understand it reports the error because you can not load a package that starts with a number? I haven't change any code, so I'm curious how it could work before I edited the colors? And how do I fix it so it works I post a .zip file so you guys could check it out; [URL]

I have an array like this:
Code:
var myData = new Array();
myData["name"] = "John";
myData["Age"] = 35;
What is the syntax to loop through and get the key and value? I have tried for each and for in but they just give me the value of "John" or "35", how can I get the key e.g. "Name" and "Age"?

I've got this loop and can't get it to work. It won't read the trace so I know the array call in my function statement is wrong but I can't see it at the moment. What am I doing wrong here? The rollover works when I write it out repetitively for the four buttons.
var btnAction:Array = new Array (oneBut, twoBut, threeBut, fourBut);
for (var i=0; i<btnAction.length; i++) {
this.menuMC.btnAction[i].onRollOver = this.menuMC.btnAction[i].onDragOver = function() {
