ok so this is probably really easy. But how do you add a random end to a variable like say
Code:
for(i=0; i<5; i++) {
d = i;
}
but I want the variable not to be d but it create a new variable each time so I can

Is there a simple way to create a variable that contains the date & time such as:
October 23, 2002 4:45 pm
I want to have a variable which changes from time to time based on certain parameters.
For Example:
var poop:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){if(donkey==1){poop = 2;}
if(donkey==2){poop = 5;}
}
But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I'm currently working on an advanced preloader and i'm creating loads of different variables etc. based on the percentage loaded. I need the variables to be named Number + percentage, so in the end I will have Number1, Number2, Number3, Number4 etc. How can I create variable names using my percentage variable? Can't seem to find anything that answers my question.
View 2 RepliesI want to be able to have a number displayed on the screen that when one of the arrows next to it (up/down) is clicked it adds 1 to the original number (lets say 72). Then when they click the "save" button that really just takes them to the next frame (or a frame somewhere else in the movie), which is a confirmation page, I want the number they ended at to display on the confirmation screen.
I'm thinking that it is partially because I don't know what to search for.I know I have to create a variable and get the button to add one to that variable.

in the end of code i have 2 variables 'iconFace' and 'splice'.This variables without var.. so first question this is ok practice?
Second question: maybe need create 2 classes for this variables? and in class declare variable?
I've just taken and slightly modified a tutorial from actionscript.org. IT explained how to show the time in flash. I completed it and modified it to just show me the hours, minutes and seconds. I'm using it for a site I'm workin on. It was a tutorial for mx though, so I made a seperate swf an had it load into my site's mian swf using the loadMovie script. Now I want to take the time experiance and push it farther. I want to know how I can take the time from the loaded swf (which has a dynamic textbox ofcourse) and use it as a variable. I want to basically two things:

How to have a variable control the tint of one MC and the rotation of another.
I'm having a MC fill the whole screen and tint to represent the darkness/brightness of the day and I'm going to have a sun/moon MC rotate past the screen.
I would like to have a button that when clicked changes a variable for 30 seconds and then changes it back. For example:

how to set variable time for a single timer, like I first setup this timer:
private function timer():void{
var randomTimer:Timer=new Timer(time,0);
randomTimer.addEventListener("timer", somefunction);
[Code].....
So how can I influence the time inside the timer? Do I create a global timer, remove the listener and recall the timer function? Would this work since the timer has already been declared, I a re-declare a timer?
I'm making an Elder Scrolls type game and I want my enemies to hurt me after a certain time.So pretend like 5 seconds after they come on the stage they would take 5 hp off me.Then when one of the enemies die it stops until another enemy comes on the stage then it counts how long its been on the stage.This is what I have so far:

I've migrated from AS1 to AS3, and boy, a lot has changed... Anyhow, to learn and understand AS3, I'm modifying a slideshow I found through thetechlabs. I want it to play SWF as well as JPG. These files are passed through an XML file. I added an element called <delaytime> to the XML file that replaces the standard time a photo is shown in the slideshow.
I modified the onSlideFadeIn() function as follows:
function onSlideFadeIn():void { slideTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide); slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time); slideTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide); if(bolPlaying && !slideTimer.running) slideTimer.start();}
However, when I run it, I get this error message:
## [Tweener] Error: [object Sprite] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete'handler. TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/onSlideFadeIn()at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweenByIndex()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweens()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/onEnterFrame()
It stops at the first picture of my slideshow. When I push the 'next' button it displays the next pic, but I get the same error message again.When I comment out this line:
slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time);
the slideshow runs OK, but without the delaytime specified in the XML file.

I am trying to use the "define" mxmlc compiler option to embed compile-time constants into my SWF files.
<mxmlc ...>
<define name="NAMES::PluginCompileTime" value="Hello World!"/>
</mxmlc>
I can access this variable if I "hardcode" it into my codebase, as so: public static const PLUGIN_COMPILED_TIME:String = NAMES::PluginCompileTime; However, I would like to be able to do this at runtime using something like getDefinitionByName(): var value:* = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName("NAMES::PluginCompileTime"); This throws the following error: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable PluginCompileTime is not defined. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish loading a compile-time constant in a namespace at runtime?
Basically im making a completely flash/as3 website.I have a transition effect which lasts 2 second which is triggered every time some buttons are clicked.
My problem... The transition effect includes variables for x,y, size etc etc and if the button is clicked again inside these 2 seconds these values have not reset to their starting values and the effect gets screwed up.
I know it is unlikely that a user will click another page within the 2 second bracket, but they may double click the button by accident or decide quickly they want another section (and be a fast clicker ) etc.Is there anyway to 'lock' these variables until my effect has completed ?
I've been trying to create a script that pulls the current time and turns it into a variable, the problem is the variable keeps updating as the time changes, where as I need it to remain static as the time that is was when the variable was first created...it's just a simple:
Code:
var theTime = today.getTime();
Basically, I wanted to 'save' the time thats been recorded in each of the 5 'games', so at the end there is a 'scores' page, with your times for each of the games.
I have managed to get the timer working for the games itself, but cannot find / work a method which saves them to the last frame?
I thought possibly converting the 'elapsed_time' into a different var (t1,t2 etc..) for each of the games? - doesn't seem to work timer_not_saving.fla
When the button is first pressed, I can see in my debugger the data LocalID has a value, but why doesn't it write to the _root.PrimaryID until I press the button a second time?
submit1.onPress = function(){
getDatax.UniqID=UID;//Long string version of ID
getDatax.sendAndLoad("GetID.cfm", getDatax, "POST") ;
getDatax = new LoadVars()
getDatax.onLoad = function(){
if(this.writing=="Acquired") {
_root.PrimaryID=this.LocalID;
}}}
I have a problem with listed code that every time I click on btn1 the variable (num) will be initialize to 1. so what is the best practice in my case to initialize the variable (num) for only one time when the flash loaded.

View 3 RepliesI am using the attachMovie script in as2 and I want to use a counter variable to increase the depth each time so it doesn't replace the last one. Every tutorial i've seen for attachMovie mentions this but I can't find any information on how.
Also is it possible to use a different counter variable to change to y position of the attached movieclip, so that it adds another beneath the last every time.
I know how to stop and start a timer, but how can you capture the timer value to a variable and resume it from there at a later time? I tried capturing the currentCount of the timer to an integer variable, but i cant modify it.....it says its read only.
View 1 RepliesI would like that my executeShape function insert a new XMLChildnode called "adverts" to my Pages:XML via the evenListener of the execute_bt. I tryed copying the nodes and it works but it copy a blank "adverts" node in betwen each node copied. so i tryed with appendChild, but it works only once, then it say error. so i tryed with inserChildafter or inserChildbefore but this one doesnt work at all because "advert" doesnt exist. I understand why all my suggestions does'nt work (copied or append or insertchild), but i dont figure out how to get what i want . i love AS but im no advance in enought..

I am attempting create a class for the first time. My idea with this class is that you will be able to pick a colour scheme "warm", "cold" and all the code will be there for you when you need it. So with warm, I have it randomly selecting different warm colours.
I have the code working the way it should in an action script 3 file, but when I transfered it into a class I have gotten many problems which I probably half solved. If someone could take a look at my work and let me know what I might be missing that would be helpful.
Right now when I go to preview it it just shows a black box. I'm assuming its something to do with my "beginFill();" which just has a "1" in it right now becuase I can't seem to write anything correctly!!
