Here's a really easy (Not so easy for me) question for you. First person to answer rules the. I have a button that switches a variable from 0 to 1.
on (press) {
_root.pageone = 1;
}
I want the same button to switch the variable off. I've been trying "if else", but my syntax is rubbish. How do I code this statement On Press Button > if _root.pageone = 1 change to 0 > if _root.pageone = 0 change to 1.
I just started in as3 after a long break from flash and I have run into a slight problem and couldn't find any readily available solutions online so I thought I'd ask, I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
switch(characters[ps[1]])
{
case 0:
[code]....
I want to create a different object of the same variable name with the switch statment but it gives me "1151: A conflict exists with definition player in namespace internal" which is of course because I'm redeclaring the variable. I'm not 100% sure it technically exists in the current scope though (but it must because I am getting this error.) I also tried a few ways of initializing as just MovieClip up topside and then just try and typecast it down here but as can be assumed that didn't work either.
Is there a way to get my intended effect or am I gonna have to make some like an above class containing all these other classes on it's various frames and just instantiate those?
In the following class
Code:
package
{
public class Factory
{
[Code]]....
A break point on the "Okay" line shows that x1 is null but x2 is equal to "<entity id="DRONE" points="100"/>".
If I take the whole block out of the switch statement, both x1 and x2 are equal to the expected xml.
I am trying to switch a boolean variable to true after a mouse click on a movieclip.
I want an animation to continue after the user has clicked both btn1 and btn2.
After researching this topic it appears that changing a variable inside a function will only effect code within that function and not the code outside of it - therefore my main Btn1Var and Btn2Var do not update to flase.
ActionScript Code:
stop()
var btn1Var:Boolean = false;
var btn2Var:Boolean = false;
[Code].....
Is there an easy way to change the original variable for each button to true after being clicked?
I have made a button to function like a switch in that it has both an on and off state. However, I can only get it to switch between the on and off state once when it's pressed, with nothing happening after it has been turned off.The code is as follows:
Code:
switch1.onPress = function() {
switch1.gotoAndStop("on");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
[code]....
is there a way to make it so that the switch works continuously, not just one time?
never really used checkBoxes much and wondering what the best AS2 is to use one as a "switch" ?
i.e. place a checkbox which is default unchecked and if the user checks it {do something} and if the user then unchecks it {undo that something}.
I'm thinking about the _alpha of a button or an MC as an example / test.
Check the box: anMC = _alpha 100, unchceck the same box: anMC = _alpha 50.
I'm happy either way with code on the checkbox or an even listener on a frame (preferred) but would like to learn how to use checkBoxes as a switch.

I am really new to Flash n Actionscript and have been dropped in to make a switch that will make a light come on in the first click and off on the second, on on the third and off on the forth etc... I have created the switch as a button and the light on/off as two movie clips....
What coding would i be looking to add to make this switch work...
Previously I have been given this... but its not working
//this is for the button (switch)
on(release) {
if (_root.light_on:active == 1) {
setProperty("_root.light on", _visible, "1");
_root.light_on:active = "0";
} else {
_root.light_on:active = "1";
setProperty("_root.light_on", _visible, "0");
}}
//This is for the light on
onClipEvent (load) {
active = "1";
setProperty("_root.light_on", _visible, "0");
}
I'm a designer struggling to learn advanced actionscript. It's quite a challenge,
One of the challenge i'm having right now is: I have my main timeline(swf). i'm loading in 2 separate swfs into two separate holders on the main stage/timeline/swf. whatever it's normally called. One of the loaded swfs is a menu and the other is a page. Basically i'm designing a learning application. The menu alllows you to jump to a specific place in the course rather than a next button of sorts which is also in the course.
When a different page is loaded i need for a button(movieclip) that's located in the menu swf to swith out with a new button that's located off the stage somewhere.(these buttons are located in the menu swf off stage) so i need the loaded page swf, to talk to the other loaded swf(menu) everytime it or another page is loaded. I've seen simular references to having a loaded swf talk to the main timeline swf but i haven't been able to find a reference for two loaded swfs thats loaded inside holders, to talk to each other.

View 1 RepliesI'm pretty new to this and racking my brains on the following problem: I have a movieclip-button, with 3 states (normal, over and clicked). I want to disable the functions in actionscript 3 that switch between the normal and over-states after the button is clicked, and not enable these functions for this button until another button is clicked. What's the best/ simplest way to do this?

View 3 RepliesI want to be able to have a number displayed on the screen that when one of the arrows next to it (up/down) is clicked it adds 1 to the original number (lets say 72). Then when they click the "save" button that really just takes them to the next frame (or a frame somewhere else in the movie), which is a confirmation page, I want the number they ended at to display on the confirmation screen.
I'm thinking that it is partially because I don't know what to search for.I know I have to create a variable and get the button to add one to that variable.

I'm working on a game, where if you click an answer, it will double check to see if that's the one you really want. So I tried to set a variable when that button is clicked. On another set of buttons, I placed an if / else statement, but it doesn't seem to be working.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have several buttons I need to turn on and off (visibility and alpha) but the function I have written that determines if a given button should be turned off works based on a few variables. I need to be able to control which button is turning on and off with these variables.
I have tried this ("btn" + i)._visible or alpha but does not work. how I can accomplish this?
