ActionScript 2.0 :: Call A Function From A Concatenated String?
Mar 11, 2011
I'm using the Gaia Framework to develop a website, I'm still getting used to it but it's been great so far. There's a part in a page class where I want to call certain functions to initialize some effects on every deeplink. I'm doing good, but I need to call a function through concatenating some strings. Please have a look at some code of my class and read the comments for a better understanding:
Code:
private function FUNC_que():Void{
SEC_que.b1._width = 0
stringTyper(SEC_que.t1, st1, 15, 8)
var ts2 = new TextShuffle(SEC_que.t2, st2,SEC_que.b1);
[code]....

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

Is it possible to call a function from a string? such as if I passed the name of a function to this function, is there a command to convert the string to a function call? :
function CallSpecific(passedFunctionName:String)
I used String, but it was just a guess...

I have a class that has a timer function built into it. When this timed function is called, I would like to be able to call another function when the timer is finished (which I would do in the TIMER_COMPLETE handler).
If I pass the name of the function to my class function, could I use that string(?) to call the function at the end of my timer?

I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.

I'm wondering if its possible in flash to be able to call a static class function via its name as a string. I know for you're usual case you can do this to call the function 'func'
Code:
this["func"]();
func():void
{
trace("I'm a function");
}
However I'm wanting to do this from another static function and in a static function you obviously can't use the 'this' keyword. I've tried just omitting it, or replacing it with the class name but neither work.

I worked out a way to call a function whose name is in a String variable. That is:
function myFunction()
{
trace("Hello!");
}

I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.

I'm working on a function that replaces an existing movie clip with a symbol from the library and then designates an "updater" function for the new instance. I have the first part working as intended, but I'm not sure how to approach creating the "updater" function.I've considered using event listeners, but I'm not sure if that is my best option.The following is a excerpt from my code. This code is on the timeline of a movie clip. The movie clip is on the main timeline with an instance name of slideUpPanel_mc.
ActionScript Code:
var window_mc:MovieClip = window_mc; //window_mc as it exists on the timeline
var windowUpdateFunc:Function; //reference to updater function in window_mc

Im working on an Actionscript 3 program where i will click through a tree structure of buttons and use the values of the particular set of buttons, to access its corresponding value in an XML file.As i click each button, I start forming a string eg.
[code]
Click1 = unit1
Click2 = lesson3. etc
xmlString = "myXML."+ Click1 + "." + Click2;
Everything works perfect up to this point except that xmlString contains the incorrect value.I want xmlString to contain the particular value within that particular element in the XML but instead it only displays the concatenated path. (myXML.unit1.lesson1)is how would i be able to use that "xmlString" value to refernce the particular elements value.everything else works perfect and if i have to pass that XML path directly, "myXML.unit1.lesson1" it functions correctly, thus it must be an issue with the concatenated string not being registered as an XML path.

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.

I have an enterFrame action that I use on a graphic:
[Code]....
Because I want to use the above code more than a few times, I tried to make it a function.
[Code]....
But for some reason the function call does not work when I call it via an action on a graphic where initially the code worked when it was explicitly written and not called as a function.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
fadeOut();
}

why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:
CallTag.as , Line 10 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method init.

I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.

I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?

I was wondering if this concept is doable:
Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)
Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)
every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:
if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....
this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc
"playbutton1"._visible=false;
doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.

I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?
