Actionscript 3 :: Concatenate Variables For Flash?

Apr 6, 2011

I'm trying to make a function which ideally you tell it to go to the next level and it sorts everything out to transition to the next level for you. Currently I use this to get from level 1 to 2...

Also I need to make it so it checks if levelText == whatever on press of the Enter key, as well as the mouse click on GoButton.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Add Array Variables Instead Of Concatenate

May 26, 2010

I have this code to push "Variable1" in to MyArray:
ActionScript Code:
_root.MyArray.push(Variable1);
Note:
"Variable1" is a number stored as a string.
When "Variable1" changes, the code above is called upon to add the new "Variable1" value in to MyArray. Then I have this code which is called upon to find the sum of all the values within "MyArray":

ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<=_root.MyArray.length-1; i++) {
_root.MyArray_Total = _root.MyArray_Total + MyArray[i];
}

My problem is that rather than adding the values contained within MyArray (as if they were numbers), the values are being concatenated instead.

Example:
If MyArray values were 1, 2, 3
I want the MyArray_Total to = 5
But instead... MyArray_Total = 123

I tried making a new variable named "Variable1_num", declaring it as a number, making it equal to "Variable1", and then pushing "Variable1_num" in to "MyArray"... but that didnt seem to work either.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Variables (concatenate With Delimiter)?

Mar 30, 2011

The course contain ten chapters that all have to report that when a user completed them. When they all are, the status is set
to "completed" for the course. First off the theory behind it:

1. I just completed a chapter.

2. Load a string with then numbers "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0", one for each chapter. All 0's, no chapter is completed, all 1's, all chapters are completed, you get the picture.

3. Add a 1 for, lets say chapter 5, would look like this "0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0".

4. Check if the course is complete, like this: "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1", or not.

5. If complete, set status to "complete", if not, set to "incomplete".

In practice:

import flash.external,*;
String(ExternalInterface.call("LMSGetValue, "cmi.suspend_data, TheCourseStatus"));
String(ExternalInterface.call("LMSSetValue, //..add the number "1" to

[code]....

So, after this rant. How do I,

1. Get the string.

2. Add the course number/value to the string

3. Then update the string, and..

4. ..set the appropriate status.

I found out that "I need to concatenate them together with a delimiter so I can separate the string on re-entry", but I don't know how to do that.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables Inside Names Again?

Dec 9, 2010

If I have a MovieClip called parent_mc and inside it I have another called child1_mc, I can use a variable for the "1" part of child1_mc and change the alpha for example like this:

ActionScript Code:
var myVar:Number = 1;
parent_mc['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;

What is the right syntax to use if child1_mc is not actually a child of anything and just sits on the stage? I have tried the following and it didn't work:

ActionScript Code:
['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;

and I tried:

ActionScript Code:
stage['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;

That didn't work either.

Flex :: Make Objects With Key Names From Variables?

How can I make an object that would look like:

var obj:Object = {firstKey: 'some value', secondKey: 'some other value'}, note that firstKey and secondKey are values of variables str1 and str2.

Doing obj = {str1: 'some value', str2: 'some other value'} does not yield a result that I would like

ActionScript 3.0 :: Making New Variables With New Names In A For Loop?

Jan 24, 2010

I can't create new variables within a for loop:

ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) {
var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite();
}

This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.

What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Tweens And Variables In Instance Names?

Oct 18, 2007

I am using the tween class to change the alpha value of a MC upon rollOver and rollOut. To refine the effect, I assigned a variable to the MC's alpha value so if the mouse moves off the MC before it has reached 100% alpha, it wont start immediatly fading from 100%, but from the value it had reached before the user stopped the rollOver action. Unfortunately, when I leave my mouse over the MC until it goes to 100%, and then I wait a second or two, the alpha snaps back to 50% (the starting alpha value).I can't figure out why this keeps happening, but I have run into it with other projects and I surmise it is the way I am using the tween class. Below is the code I used to make this happen.To see the problem, here is a link to the compiled file:

// image 1 Set 2
groupA.group2.image1.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("main_resized/1.jpg", pictureHolder);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Identify Names Of Likely Variables / Processes Required For System Generation

Aug 15, 2009

The question is about producing a learning package for users to improve their mathematical skills.One part of it is for times tables. So the user will enter their name and then a question will appear e.g. "What is 6 X 9?" The user then inputs their answer and the system will compare and process the input, storing the incorrect and correct responses and then giving a final score at the end.The question is to; identify the names of the likely variables and processes required for the system generation of a question and the subsequent processing of the user's response.(10 marks)Then it asks to write some pseudo-code to describe 10 consecutive question/response activities and their final results showing their name too. (15 marks)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parsing Together Movieclip Names?

Feb 19, 2010

In AS2 you could parse together movieclip names so that you could do things like this - Let's say you have a movieclip (clip1) inside a clip (clip2). You could do:

name1 ="clip" + 1;
name2 = "clip"+ 2;

and then when referencing the lower clip you could do: _root[name2][name1]._alpha = 50;

That doesn't seem to work in AS3, even if do something like
clip2[name1].alpha=.25;

I'm probably referencing the objects wrong, but can anybody shed any light on this? I'm having trouble parsing together paths and object names and it's driving me nuts.

I am trying to get the instance name that i gave to a dynamically created movieclip the movieclip was created using var zebra_mc:Zebra = new Zebra(); //creating a new instance of the zebra class The movieclip was then added to the stage using a for loop, as it was contained in an array. Each time a movieclip is added to the stage it is then added to another array (existingObjects) I then need to iterate through this array and pull out each objects names. I have tried using existingObjects[i].name, which returns "instance140" and existingObjects[i].toString, which returns functionFunction(){}, very useful. and existingObjects[i] which just returns the object.
