I have a variable in the _root called section.Now I want to call hemmaAnimation(); within a the global function (see below).So I set the section variable to hemma & tried these:
_global.sectionAnimation = function(){
this[section+"Animation"]();
};
[code]...
but no luck.
It's slower to call a function this way than calling it directly?
What I'm wondering is if the function names are all hashed, so calling it with bracket and string would just be a hash look up or is flash actually iterating through all the function names (and maybe all variable names) and doing string comparison to find the right function to call.
I have a form with 3 input fields: Name, Email Address, and Contact Number. These have the following instance names: iFullname, iEmail, iContact When the user clicks submit, I need to store this data and then call it later into another form. There are 3 input fields with the same instance names as the first form.This form is in an external movie loaded into the main movie where the original data was stored.

I am running into problems with a custom class I have written. I did a search on the error message here, but didn't find a solution that quite fit what was going on. I think my problem is in how I'm tying the class to the movie script in the library, but I'm not sure.
I have a MovieClip symbol in the library named nav1. It is set to export, with the class name being nav1, and the base class being the custom class I created. In the base class I have a function:

I want to monitor a variable. Whenever the variable value changes I want to call a function. In actionscript 2 I can use "watch" but in as3 what can do ?

I'm wondering how do u call a variable that has a variable name.
[AS]

For (i=1; i<=max; i++)
{
[Code].....
how can i do that? how do i address a variable name which is variable?
I have used a trick which has worked fine so far in our company's project.here how it works:
NOTE:
If you want to use AS1, ignore my soloution and just use isDown("18") with combination of othjer keys.
if you want to use AS2, you can not use isDown("18") in AS2.
if you want to use AS3 read the following:
1) Trap Alt keys using .isDown("18") in a SWF published as ActionScript 1.0;
3) In a SWF (AS 1.0) defined your keys like (All the letters you need, ex: A,B,...) with combination with Alt
4) Create a SWF published as Action Script 3.0.
5) Create an instance of the Local Connection Class available in SWF(AS 3.0)
6) Create an instance of the Local Connection Class available in SWF (AS1.0)
7) Talk between AS1 and AS3 using the local connection
NOTE: In order for your key combination to happen only once but not continusly, you need to do a trick like the following: THIS IS Action Script 1.0 SWF
stop();
var lastKey = 0; var keyListener = new Object(); var sending_lc = new LocalConnection(); var resetFromAS3 = new LocalConnection();[code].........
I need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.

View 5 RepliesI am currently putting together a simple game where people have to pass my tests to join a club. At the end I would like them to be given a unique name. I imagine this could be done if I make 3 lists of 50 words, and right a piece of code that randomly selects one word from each list to create a unique combination almost every time. I am using actionscript 2 because I am fairly novice and this is about as complicated as my code is going to be, but is this to bigger job for action script 2?

Can an action be initiated through pressing a key combination? Here's a snippet instructing a MovieClip to move right when SHIFT+Z are pressed...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, testFn);
function testFn(event:KeyboardEvent){
if(event.keyCode == 16 && 90){
dot.x += 5;
}
}
Only the first key is recognized, i.e. the dot moves when SHIFT only or SHIFT+Z together are pressed; the swf's ignoring the second key.
The objective is when user clicks on any combination of 2 buttons you would then gotoAndPlay a new page based onthe two specific buttons you have selected? Ideally user would be able to intermix the button combinations. Code below only works for two specific buttons, but doesn't allow to intermix button clicks.

I've followed the thread there: [URL]
I understand that this class allow the script to detect when keys are pressed in combination.
But what is exactly the implementation when a key is used both in single and combination states. Let's say that you've the "q" key used alone and "shift-q"...how would one proceed to achieve this detection?

and so forth.The issues is I need to call a variable from within the array but depending on an option the user has chosen it needs to call the right one.At the moment I am trying
end = "_global.var"+userOption+"Array["+array#+"]";
userOption being the needed array
array# being the needed entry within the array.
However when I try and use this I of course just get it like a string, not as a variable...
