I have a problem with functions and variables.. how to get functions that i use every onEnterFrame. et c: A MC is using this:
[Code]...
As you can see it gets new variables onEnterFrame... How do i get around this?
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?
If i have a series of variables that are referenced on an enter frame function, is it better to declare the frequently used vars at the class level? Is there a performance benefit? What is the standard?
Example

I'm just wondering if there is a short way to declare variables at the beginning of a class if you have lots of them? [code]...

View 2 RepliesI 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 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;

}

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.

Does anybody know if it's possible to declare variables in a "for" loop or in a "for each in" statement? If it isn't possible, is there any workaround to this? I'm not entirely informed about single variable usability, e.g. having only one "Sound" variable and playing multiple files from only that variable.

I need to be able to use a function to change a variable outside of it, and it seems like global scope and the like went out with 2.0 and I need to use 3.0.I would just have the function return a value, but I'm using an 'addEventListener' which has the event and then the function inside.
Example:
Code:
var finished = false;
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
function done(evt:Event) {

I want to use the variable var_page3_title for dynamic text boxes in movie clips further on down the timeline. Of course I don't want to repeat this code for every textbox so my question is, how to I access the variables from the function loading();
I am new to AS3 and building a simple flash banner. There will be four movie clips consisting of just one word each (in the sample below I'm just using rectangle for now). When moused over each word will show a rectangle with a message in it, like a large tool tip. I have a rudimentary version working fine, see code below.
Question 1: Is there a way to just write on function which will work with all four buttons changing the message, say using variables like AS2?
Question 2: Does the code below look relatively efficient? I'm sure there are better ways to write it.Here's a link to the rudimentary version, http:[url]....
How do i pass variables in a function from swf to another swf?
View 4 RepliesI need to access the contents of a variable that is filled inside a function, but is declared outside the function.. [URL] says that if you declare the variable outside of the function the variable should be accessible even when its content is filled by a function. I have declared the imgs variable at the start, outside the function, as an array. After that the function retrieves a string from the URLLoader and splits that string into to the imgs array/variable.

Hello, I'm trying to minimize code, so I am trying to use functions, and need to pass some strings through them in order for it to work.I believe I may be doing this incorrectly, so could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? On one of my movieclips:

What that previous code should do is loop through all movieclips in the game and if it's not named player, move it in accordance to what "Direction" is.If the player is pressing the arrow down key, it will change "Direction" to "DOWN" and hopefully pass it.

How one would go about switching 2 variables around. For example if I have
Code:
a = 5; b = 3;
Then use the switch function and get:
Code:
a = 3; b = 5;
Is there any such thing?
Is it possible to define a variable inside of function where the actual variable name will change based on what parameters the function is called with? Take a look at this [code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm pretty new to AS, I understand that whatever variables you have inside a function will be discarded once the function finishes? I need the value of a variable that's inside a function, I've tried declaring it outside the function, and also give it an initial value, but it seems that when the function finishes the variable goes back to it's original value.
