ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Put The Data From .txt File Into A Global Variable

Nov 25, 2007

i've finally gotten the LoadVars() thing down, but the only problem is IT WON'T LET ME STORE THE DATA IN VARAIBLES! I can't put the data from the .txt file into a _global variable and access it outside of the onLoad() function. Any help? I can't really explain it that good so I have included the files for it. [code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Copy Bitmap Data And Store As Global Variable

Jun 27, 2010

I am having problem to recall the copied bitmap data to show on another private function which is difference from the private function which copy the bitmap process. I am new in AS3 so have no idea how do I make the copied bitmap data into a global variable..

Heres my snippet of code:-
private function export():void {
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(216.2, 468.29);
var a_matrix : Matrix = new Matrix() ;
a_matrix.translate(-242,-130);
bmd.draw(stage,a_matrix);
[Code] .....

This is the problem I am facing, I need to separate the copying process and showing process because I want my flash to show the copied image later on...

Professional :: Loading A Text File Into A Global Variable?

Jan 6, 2011

From all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into, then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
 
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
 
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?
 
PARAMS.TXT:
monthNames=January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September ,October,November,December&dayNames=Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Th ursday,Friday,Saturday

[Code].....
 
How do I access these values after loading from the external file, after the load?

AS3 :: Xml : Declare A Global Variable?

Feb 28, 2012

I'm trying to get a value from a function which is a URLLoader COMPLETE event but even with declaring variables outside of the function will not allow me to get the value out. I'm stuck.It seems that the Asynchronous nature of Flash makes it impossible to get a value out: e.g. this works:

// Initialise a URLLoader to get XML data from XML file
var myFPBLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myFPBLoader.load(new URLRequest("flightPlannerBoard.xml"));

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Value To Global Variable

Aug 11, 2009

I have a movieclip on the stage, and in that clip I have a button that is supposed to turn a global variable from true to false, but the compile tells me:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property root through a reference with static type Class.

When I use this code:
Code:
function closeMSN(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.visible = false
Stage.MSNOpen = false
}

I know how to reference the movieclip itself by this, but how do I change the value of a variable on the main stage, from inside the movie clip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Variable Within Function?

Aug 24, 2009

I'm having an issue with a global variable. I'm trying to give it a value within a function and it isn't working.The variable is imageList. It's an XML List. I'm making it global so I can use it anywhere in my project. I suppose if someone has a better idea to avoid the global variable, I'm up for that too. But for now, it seems like the way to go.
 
Here's my .as file:
package
{
public class MyGlobal
{

[code]....
 
It's giving me the same same Error #1009 as above. It seems like a scope problem, but why? Shouldn't it work since it's a global variable?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Global Variable Not Targeting?

Jan 8, 2010

I am trying to set up a global variable. On the root of my timeline, I have this;

_global.floorVar = "0";
trace(floorVar);
 
which seems to trace fine to say 0.
 
Then, inside of a movie clip on the main timeline, I have a button function:
 
floor1.onRelease = function() { _global.floorVar = "1"; trace(_global.floorVar) _root.gotoAndStop(2);};
if (_global.floorVar == 1) { trace("it works");
}
 
It traces as 1 once I press the button, but the if statement doesn't trace "it works" is my global variable set up wrong?

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Use Global Variable Declaration

Feb 24, 2003

I am trying to use the global variable declaration. Up to know I've been using the x coordinate of a movie clip to pass variables between different movies, and I thought it was time to learn properly! Just to get it to work, I am trying a flash file with two movies in the root. One movie defines a glabal variable on load;
_global.numb = 6;

And then I am trying to just get the other to trace it on enter frame, so the code attached to the other movie (on enterframe) is...
trace(numb);
(And I tried trace(_global.numb) as well, but I was under the impression that you only had to define it as being a property once.). All that happens when I run the movie is nothing is traced.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Hanging The Value Of A Global Variable?

Mar 17, 2006

I'm having a problem changing the value of a global variable.

I'm using the xml photogallery thats available on Kirupa. I have 2 movies on the main timeline: the galley movieclip and a navigation movie clip. I want the buttons in the navigation clip to change the global varable 'section' and this to be passed to the galley xml load function. So far i have this for the button:

Code:
gallery1button.onRelease = function(){
_root.nav.select(0);
_global.section= "gallery1";
};

I am using php to deliver the xml data dynamically to flash so I only have one xml file for several galley section. the AS looks like this:

Code:
xmlData.load("photos_xml.php?section="+_global.section);

It doesnt seem to be working though.
