ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A String Then Use It To Reference A Variable In An External Text File

Jan 19, 2011

So i have an external text file organized like this:

/* $file: data.txt */
&title0=Sacrum
&detail0=Detail text for Sacrum
&title1=L5

[Code].....

There are 28 of these 'title' and 'detail' pairs. The 'title' text is to fill a dynamic text box and the 'detail' to fill another dynamic text box depending on which section the user is mousing over.

My issue is getting the text from the file stored into arrays. For my test loop I keep getting undefined as the stored value, and i know it has something to do with converting a string value to object..

var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = handleDataLoad;
lv.load('data.txt');
function handleDataLoad (success:Boolean) {

[Code]....

String :: Flex - Download A String Variable As A File To The Local Machine?

Sep 21, 2011

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):

var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Reference To Variable/function Using Strings?

Sep 18, 2009

I'm wondering how I can create a reference to a function/variable by using strings. Sorry if I'm not explaining the problem well, but let me show you what I mean in an example:You can create a reference to a class using strings by using the getDefinitionByName as follows:var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("myClass") as Class;var myClass1:classRef = new classRef();Similarly, how do you refer to functions and variables? The reason why I want to know is because I'm trying to implement a function which takes in the event handler name as the parameter, and what the function essentially does is that it adds an event listener with the associated handler (based on the parameter) to an object, something like this:

public function addListener(handler:String):void {
mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, "on" + handler);
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash : Reference Input Text Box String?

how to make a simple AS3 class.I've made a simple calculator application that allows you to add, subtract, multiply, and divide after entering 2 values into their respective text box.The problem, how ever, is once I moved it into it's own class, I cannot figure out how to reference the text fields. I have the movie clips referenced just fine, but, I cannot figure out the text fields.Here are the errors it's spitting out:

Code:
1120: Access of undefined property Number1_txt.
1120: Access of undefined property Number2_txt.
1120: Access of undefined property finalValue_txt.

And it does that for each instance of those in the Calculator.as

Reference Text With Variable?

Oct 20, 2009

I want to be able to reference the text of a text box within an MCThe MC is called "box1", the text field is called "field1"...I have many MCs (all with field1 in them)... box1, box2, box3 etc etcObviously I can set the text to being something by saying...box1.field1.text = "set_this_text"However, I'm using a variable to come up with the "box1" bit. (Using an array and a loop to figure out which box I want to update based on where the user clicked). So, let's say I have a variable... and I want to say..boxClickedon = box1 //will be defined by userSo I don't know in advance about box1... I can only access it through "boxClickedin" variable, but

boxClickedin.field1.text = "set_this_text"
or
[boxClickedin].field1.text = "set_this_text"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use Of A Variable To Reference A Text Box In An Instance?

Aug 16, 2009

Lets say I have 3 Movie Clip Symbols in  my Library : Movie0, Movie1 and Movie2
 
Each movie has a dynamic text box: "TextBox1"
 
I want to be able to write a function that can manipulate the alpha(or any attribute) of the TextBox1 in all three MovieClips.

In my limited experience I thought I could do something like the following:

for (var row:int = 0; row < dataArray.length; row++)
{
Movie(row).TextBox1.alpha = 1;
}
 
I hoped that this would loop through 3 times and set the alpha of the TextBox1 in all three movies to 1.
 
Is this possible? Can you reference an instance with use of a variable?

Professional :: Reference A Text Field With A Variable?

May 7, 2011

I have 10 text fields named "text1", "text2" etc;

I'd like to use a for loop to pulate each one, so that each text filed is populated with whatever i is:

for (var i:Number=1; i<=10;i++)  {
"team"+i.text = i;
}

I keep getting errors with regards to how the text filed name is referenced.

What is the correct way to increment the text filed name and reference it?
 
I've tried:

["team"+i].text = i;
"team"[i].text = i;

but they don't work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Specify Variable Type Via Text String?

Nov 27, 2009

i'm attempting to load data from XML and use this data as variable values. My problem is, loaded XML data is always a String, but sometimes I want to load other variable types.There are several boring solutions to this, such using typeof to determine the the datatype of a variable and then using a function and switch statement to convert the XML data to the appropriate data type. I'd love though if there's a sneaky 1 liner to do this using built in functions. Something like:var x:int = typeof(x)("123");Let me phrase the problem another way.Lets say we have this:

var x:int = new int;
var y:string = "123";
var z: othertype = "123"
