ActionScript 2.0 :: Declare A Function As Global?
Apr 16, 2008
I was wondering something to do with global functions, it seems if you declare a function as global inside the first frame of a movieclip...and try call it from the first frame of the _root timeline it does not work.
Example.
This code is in a movieclip on the first frame of the timeline called "my_mc";
Code:
_global.Test = function(){
trace("Test ok!");
}
Then the code on the main timeline, first frame would be a call like this.
Code:
Test();

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"));

I have a function in my flash AS3 file. I'd like to pass a parameter when calling this function and have that parameter become the name of a new FLV playback component I'm declaring;
function newVideo(myVideoName){
var [myVideoName]:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();

I have a problem that I have read a few other threads about, but the solutions that are offered don't seem to work for me.
The solution offered was to declare the tween variables outside the function....
I have done this, but every now and then it doesn't finish the tween.
Here is my code for that part..
Code:
var alphaTween:Tween;
var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(150,0);
myTimer.start();
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addMC);

I am working with URLLoader and URLRequest in this case.
I have two buttons. One listens for the mouse click event and then runs the following function (less code not applicable to this question):
function loadURL (e:MouseEvent):void {
....
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("*URL*");
myRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
[Code]....
The other button, when clicked, calls another function, say resetAll, that then resets the "session" by clearing out all the current variables and canceling anything currently in progress. Within that function I want to call myLoader.close(myRequest); but myLoader is not accessible from within resetAll.
In this case, should I declare var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("*URL*"); and var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); outside of the function even if I do not need them yet?

When you click on the button something happens. However it seems redundant to me that in the declaration of myListenerFunction, the event object e of class MouseEvent, actually has to have its data type MouseEvent mentioned.

I have a simple banner which rotates through three different movieclips. I would like to create a function on the main timeline that controls the length of delay for each of the clips.
So far this is what I have on the main timeline, which is a single frame:
_global.displayTime = function () {
startTime = getTimer();
MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code]....
The function works when everything is on the main timeline, but not when I want it to drill down into a movieclip.

I'm an old C programmer been away from programming for years. Now we have a project requiring Flash and I've been elected. Just installed CS4. I have 16 panels in 4 sets of 4 that rotate left to right. (Big learning curve on that one - fading transitions in the right order...). Each panel must have a unique url when clicked. (16 urls).I've looked through many solutions, most of which seem unduly complex. I think that the simplest short of going to onRelease() with AS2 (Later I have to add mouseover changes in the graphics) is something like this:[code]I haven't found this solution out there. Is there a gotcha because the a#Link vars are accessed as global within the scope of handleLink? It doesn't feel right, but it works fine and 16 global variables doesn't seem too bad.

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?

I've currently got this script (see below). What I'm trying to do is make it so I can load several images from a loop. I've played with a few different things, but I'm not completely understanding how the listener works as it relates to the loader. It seems when I try and add a second image, it only enters the onComplete function 1 time, therefor i only get one Image loaded. As a side note, I've also been trying to dynamically change the x and y position, but I'm not sure how to modify a global variable from within that function, or better yet, pass in the arguements during the eventListener call to onComplete.[code].....

I have a global var

The only problem is it can't "see" myGlobals. I was wondering if someone could tell me why it can't see it! I'm sure it has something to do with scope.

I'm trying to send an object's name to a global actionscript function. It works with a listener in the action layer:
_root.ButtonName.onRelease = function() {
trace(this._name);
}
But there will be hundreds of these objects, so I'd like to have each one call a global function, so I tried code for each button like this:
on (release) {
GlobalFunctionName(this._name);
}
But for some reason, the value being passed is null. (Although if I switch "this._name" for a string, that works correctly.) Question: How can a drone object pass its name to a central function? Should I be using "on (release)" or should I use a listener within each object instead? Also, is it best to make them Buttons or Graphics or Movie Clips since there will be so many of them?

After having recently just discovered the delights of actionscript, I am at a loss to work this out. I'll explain:I have a series of buttons which, when each one is clicked, need to grab their instance name (this._name), strip the first three characters from it and send it to a global function in another mc within the swf.Instead of stripping the characters, I am happy to do:
if (this._name == dot1) {
dotVar = 1;
} else {
