ActionScript 2.0 :: Call A Variable From Within The Array ?

Feb 15, 2009

I have global variables:

_global.var1Array
_global.var2Array
_global.var3Array
_global.var4Array

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...

I'm just getting the hang of AS2 OOP, after avoiding it for all this time, and I have set up my first couple of classes.

One class generates an array, and the other class takes this array, and uses it it to place MC's on the screen, and gives each mc an onEnterFrame function. I have a stack of these onEnterFrame functions, named 'avoidIt1()-avoidIt11()'[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using An Instance Name To Call A Variable?

Sep 25, 2007

I am using Flash2004 MX

I thought this would be simple, but it hasn't been.

I have a seris of hidden MCs named star1, star2 etc.

I want them to become visible when I call this function.

star_fn = function() {
starcount++
starshow=("star" + starcount)
starshow._visible=true
}

But it is not working.

I thought maybe it was like converting variable info to a number format, but using a text scenario instead.

Flash :: Call Variable Inside A Function ?

Sep 25, 2011

I'm trying to pass a variable through a function, but I'm getting it's value 0. Here's my code:

thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToCategory);
function goToCategory(e:MouseEvent) {
trace(c);[code]....

this trace gives me value of 0. Normally I would do goToCategory(c) and inside that category I would get it's value, but in this case I'm calling this function with an event, how can that be done?

var c is declared globally, so I'm using it above this code in different place... is there smth like global $c like in PHP.. or there's some other way to do it?!

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Call Different Class Based On Value Of Variable

Sep 29, 2009

I'm brand new to actionscript and I've decided to try and make an overhead tile scrolling game. It's been going good so far, but here is my problem:
I have the level data stored in an array, where the number represents the corresponding tile.
I have movie clips in my library called "tile_1", "tile_2", "tile_3" etc.
Anyway, what I was thinking of doing was this:
var newTileContents:("tile_"+lvlArray[i]) = new ("tile_"+lvlArray[i])();
newTile.addChild(newTileContents);
Where, if the value in the lvlArray at [i] is 2, then it will create an instance of tile_2 etc.
But I am not sure how to to type the "tile_"+lvlArray[i] bit properly.

For example:This is what I want to accomplish: (However I do not have the slightest clue as to how to go about doing the below...)

ActionScript Code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using A Variable In Movie Clip Call?

Aug 4, 2011

I want to use a variable in my movie clip code. Right now I generate a random U.S. state name and assign it to "correctAnswer". Then I want to assign that to myMovieClip.correctAnswer.gotoAndStop("down"); The problem is that the variable is not recognized and is seen as correctAnswer instead of the U.S. state that was assigned to it. My code is below.

ActionScript Code:
// Correct answer is randomly generated and can be any U.S. state name
correctAnswer = "utah";
// Using the variable correctAnswer this should come out as myMovieClip.utah.gotoAndStop("down");
myMovieClip.correctAnswer.gotoAndStop("down");
