ActionScript 2.0 :: Assigning / Writing The Contents Of A Variable?
Jun 28, 2006
so im defining a set of complex movieclips with onPress and onRelease etc using an array of them, and then looping through the array and giving them all the same code.the only problem is in the code for my buttons is one piece that needs to be unique for each button. when i assign all the buttons with N they get the code N instead of what N really is. i need to hardcode/write the actual value of N into their onPress function instead of just the variable N. is there any way to do this?

I have a LoadVars object called loadText in which an external variable is loaded from a text file. Now, the whole thing works, I just want to create a template to optimize the system, so here is what I need: The external variable (in an external text file) is called page1. I am assigning that external variable to a local variable (at this point the external text has already been loaded in loadText, of course):

I followed a dynamic gallery scrolling thumbs tutorial and then changed it quite a bit to fit my needs.
I basically added a previous and next button and image title box.
It all works great apart from one thing.
e.g. I click on thumb 5. I then use the next button and go to say... image15. I then click on thumb 9. When I use the prev or next button again it will resume from image15, but it should then carry on from thumb 9 as that was the last change I made.
I thought this would be as simple as assigning the thumb variable value to the image number variable. i.e myID = id; but it doesn't work. my variable myID actually loses its value when I click the thumb image (I used the trace to clarify).
Here is the code.
PHP Code:
function bttnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
bttn.gotoAndStop(1);
root.logo.visible = false;
myID = id;

I have a problem which i hope some one can help me with. I am loading in data from an XML file. This works fine, i can trace the contents of the XML file. The problem i have is this. I want to save each attribute to a class variable so i can call upon it with a getter method.The code is below:
Code:
package XML
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
[code]....
If i trace(path) inside the processXML() its displays as expected. but if i fire my getter method path() im returned a value of null.

I have a for loop - for (var i:int=0; i< results.length; i++)
and in this for loop a button is created - var multiplereportButton:Button = new Button();
I would like the integer value from i to be appended onto the name of the variable, so I thought this would work: var multiplereportButton + i:Button = new Button();

I've seen many times the following procedure to assign a variable name to a text field:
- We create a generic movieclip which contains a dynamic text field called "tittle" (for example)
- We add 4 instances of this movieclip to frame 1 in our main time line.
- We give them a different name (testMC1, testMC2, testMC3 and testMC4)
- We also add this little AS into frame 1:
testMC1.tittle = "Hello";
testMC2.tittle = "How";
testMC3.tittle = "are";
testMC4.tittle = "you";
If we run the fla we'll have the 4 movieclips on screen "Hello How are you". So far, it's ok, no problem and everything's understood. However I'm trying to implement a variation for this method which I need to use, but I'm not succeeding. I'd like to assign the variable values from a plain text file instead.
Hence, I create a plain text file called "Exampletext.txt". Inside this file I put the following variable values:
&variable1=Hello
&variable2=How
&variable3=are
&variable4=you
I add this piece of AS lo load the variables from the text file:
this.loadVariables ("Exampletext.txt");
And finally, I modify this bit too:
testMC1.tittle = variable1;
testMC2.tittle = variable2;
testMC3.tittle = variable3;
testMC4.tittle = variable4;
And well, it does not work at all!

I'm using Flash CS4 Professional. I'm new to Flash, taking an on-line college class, and we 've gotten to ActionScript. The entire second page of 'web site' is a movieclip. The mc includes 2 input text boxes and a button. Clicking the button is supposed to take the movie to page 3, a frame on the main timeline. Finally got that to work with 'with (_root) gotoAndPlay ("frame label")'. Page 3 contains 2 dynamic text boxes and I've tried several versions of _root and _parent dot syntax paths and tried 'with (_root)' but I cannot get values from the input boxes in the movieclip to show up in the dynamic boxes on the main timeline.

This could seem like a real easy noob question but I am trying to write a variable 'gcouter' to my dynamic textfield. I am converting it to a string but still nothing appears in the textfield. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Could someone please check out my code and point out the "blindingly obvious: that I do not see right now???
BTW I have not externalised my script/classes as its been a while since i did this and I'm still thinking timelines like AS2 so please forgive that part. The project timeline is pretty short and I wasted alot of time trying to get it to work with as files and document classes. Here is the code (it's for a simple click to spot game and gcounter purpose should be obvious):

I have a XML document that I have to hard-code into AS (Yes, I HAVE to). I am trying to assign this xml to a string but for some reason on the xml doc declaration is assigned?[code]...
When I trace out the xmlDoc string I always only get "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
I have tried putting the whole document in one string surrounded by 's and concatinating the string like above. Why is the string var only getting assigned to the first line?[code]...

I am currently develoing a flash game and I am trying to spawn 2 different symbols from a class. I have a Class called 'PLayerClass', which contains a variable called 'hero' which I assign a symbol to. This works fine with 1 symbol but I have no idea or if it is possible to assign a different symbol to the variable 'hero'. The 2 symbols are 'soldierOrange' and 'soldierGrey'. For both of these symbols I have matching classes (ie. soldierOrange.as).soldierOrange.as

I have generated a service call to a service called ServiceName.getService() - I can successfully pull data displayed inside mxml layout elements, but, instead of displaying it, I just want to assign it to a global.
I always get an error on the second line below - apparently the value has not been fetched yet. I have also tried adding a listener, and setting the global value on COMPLETE, but that is apparently never called. (I am guessing this generated service call stuff does not actually trigger a COMPLETE?)
Short question is: how do you simply assign a variable after you have loaded it via a service data call. (Not just HTTP)
getServiceResult.token=ServiceName.getService();
GlobalVars.variablename = getServiceResult.lastResult.variablename;

I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?

I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.

I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.

I have been struggling with this all week now. I am using as3 and within my movie I have a dynamic text box that contains a score.I need this score to be written to a text file preferbly in an array that only stores the highest 5 scores.I then need values from the array to be read and displayed on another movie which will act as a high score table. e.g. I will have a dynamic text box in my high score move that will display the 1st value in the array, and then the 2nd etc.
writing/reading data to text files.Alternatively if anyone else can suggest another method for a high score table please let me know. I only need a basic high score table that runs on a users local machine as the app i am making is desined to run on individual users machines.
