ActionScript 2.0 :: Eval And [] Differences (looping Fct)
Jul 25, 2008
I'm not really good at figuring out how to do some things in Actionscript and I'm confused about looping throught functions with thins like eval. Here's my code :
[Code]...
I'm trying to loop to dynamically create functions. I have 5 boutons and I don't want to duplicate 5 times the same code. This code works but I don't seem to be able to use the same eval trick on the variable "blnBtn05". Anyone knows why and how can I be make it work?

I want to do a for loop that grabs values from different variables. This function works nicely without the eval() statement (using the commented line below it) but not with it.
function saveData ()
{
saveUrl = "savedata.php?";
for (count=1; count<=numberOfVariables; count++)

Basically I want to eval() a string like _level0.mc._x-=dist; where the "-" or "+" is a variable.You can paste this straight in and it should work.. only the last part (where it's doing the eval) doesn't.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
_level0.mc._x=200;
_level0.mc.createTextField("txt",_level0.mc.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,200,200);[code]......

I'm developing a simple Flash animation using Flash Professional CS5 and I'm writing some ActionScript code. I noticed there's a choice between using different versions of ActionScript.Wondering what the key differences are between 2.0 and 3.0...?

From a developer's point of view, are there other differences between Flash and AIR to take into account, apart from the certificate and AIR not supporting ActionScript 2.0?

I recently learned beginner grade skills for AS2 via Macromedia Flash. it had only AS2 so i thought i'd be good to programin that.well i completed my project (a minigame for a bigger game was the first time i programmed ever actually. Was really fun and you can find my "work" in the attachment) changing to adobe flash on the way its what the workstations in my u have. well i there saw actionscript 3 too. also, sometimes when i asked for help on here they told my i "should switch to as3" soon. now im about to work myself into as3 but first I'd like to know.what are the main differences and could someone show me a code in AS2 and the same code in AS3 or link me to a tutorial that makes good use of AS3 (possibily by using AS2 references to clarify the structures?)?why is As3 "better" than AS2?

I have a response coming in from a server that contains a ton of strings that I need to eval to have them replace arrays already set as globals. So program fetches response, evals string into an array, and then we do stuff with the array. I've played around with little tests and can't get it working.
ActionScript Code:
var superArray= new Array('3','4');
var testArray="superArray=['1','2']";
function testEval() {
eval(testArray);
trace(superArray);

I was reading another query on this board about NOT using eval, as it had become deprecated, for attaching a name to a new MC. I have been using eval to check through all the objects, and to add ones with a certain name to an array.
for (i in this) {if ((typeof (eval(i))) == "movieclip" && substring(i, 1, 5)== "names") {
would there be another method of doing this using dot notation? sorry if this question seems a little muddled. I am new to flash, some things in it make a lot of sense and others are still confusing me.

I have a global map, when the user selects a continent it loads a seperat swf for that area. The continents grab variables from a database, and bring a bunch of variables into the movie.
One group is for the names of countries. It grabs the country name and it's 2 letter code. Then passes the country name to the local movieclip with that same instance name.
This works well for the most part. A couple countries don't load. Right now I'm looking at Asia. The country od Malaysia with it's code of "MY" produces errors half the time. Well most of the time.[code]...

I am passing flash a variable in string format and it looks like this
var stringVar = "new Array(new Array(1,3,4),new Array())";
Now i need to make an array out of it. I tried this:
var stringArray = eval(stringVar);
but had no success.

stuck on a bit of code, trying to transition a program over from JS to AS2 flashlite 3.1.So here's the deal, I have a response coming in from a server that contains a ton of strings that I need to eval to have them replace arrays already set as globals. so program fetches response, evals string into an array, and then we do stuff with the array.I've played around with little tests and can't get it working. This is a dumbed down version of what I need to happen.[code]

I used Jamie Durrant's tutorial for making a chat bot in flash. Everything works fine, but one thing which makes the bot remember people works only if the fla file is published in Flash Player 6 version. There are 4 symbols: a button, user, reply and custid: user is the textbox where the user inbuts the text, reply is the textbox that displays the bot's reply and custid displays the id of each person. If the version is newer than flash player 6 it says "undefined". It's a local shared object, I think. Could this code be edited to work in later versions or I have to stick with flash player 6 (the graphics are worse even at lossless compression)[code]

We have lots of log information (syslogs, database logs...etc) which is in CSV format. I need to present this information to key management about the activiites from the logs in Visual format but still has dynamic links. For the management sake, I need this application to be cross platform (Windows, MacOSX, Linux).What tool do I need to use Flash, Flex or (something else like Java)?

I have created a flash 3d racing game which relies heavily on AS3's Math functions (sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan). It also makes heavy use of Matrix3D and Vector3D functions. The game works great on a PC, but the cars flip around and display innacurate positions on Mac computers. I know this is an issue due to the note on the Math docs page: [URL]
which states: "Note: The Math functions acos, asin, atan, atan2, cos, exp, log, pow, sin, and sqrt may result in slightly different values depending on the algorithms used by the CPU or operating system. Flash runtimes call on the CPU (or operating system if the CPU doesn't support floating point calculations) when performing the calculations for the listed functions, and results have shown slight variations depending upon the CPU or operating system in use."
how do I get this game to work on a Mac? I've tried using lookup tables and inline FastMath style approximations. But lookup tables still create the same problem, and the inline approximations I have found are not accurate enough for my game. I've also tried rounding values with floating point errors, but that has not seemed to help (in my implementation) either. I think the specific problem is with the use of Math.atan. I have not found an accurate approximation for this.. but I maybe that is not even necessary.

I have been moving over to JavaScript (esp. canvas) from Flash / Flex / ActionScript 3 (JavaScript is a more open platform), and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on differences between the two platforms, important things to note, pitfalls, optimizations, etc.

I'm having problems in setting three variables using a for loop and then passing these variables to my function. I think it's something to do with the set function I'm using, because my colorFadeTo function claims it's being passed an undefined variable.

var current = circles[i];

I have a clip containing 8 MCs, named id1, id2 etc, each of which contain a dynamic text field with the variable thisNo. I want to run a loop that inserts each digit from a randomly generated number into each of these MCsPatID is the random number, IDLength is it's character length.
for (i=1; i<(IDLength+1); i++) {

I'm trying to update an old flash 5 site I made years ago so that I can put video clips in it. I opened the file is flash cs3 and compiled just to see if it would work as is before modifying. It's hanging on a bunch of code, all which have eval() in them. It's been a loooong time since I coded actionscript so while I know that the bracket syntax is what I should be using, after trying various ways of writing it I just can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how the following should be written in Actionscript 2.0 and I can extrapolate from there?[code]...

I have two text boxes on the same window. They are both set to Arial 14 Regular but they both appear very differently. To see what I am referring to: [URL] and go to the Conversion Tools at the bottom of the page. Click on Surface Finish and type in a value in the two different fields and click calculate. I really don't see anything that could be causing this difference in appearance.

I'm currently upgrading an app from Flex 4.1 to 4.5.We've noticed that the Arial font is rendered differently between the two versions when used at small sizes.Here's a simple app example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"[code]....
When run against the 2 different sdks, here's an image of the font rendering we get:
Note that in 4.5 the font looks slightly squashed.
What's the cause of this, and how do we resolve it?

i've got a large video (48MB) that after 7% is loaded, it starts playback. on a pc it takes 10 seconds before it will start to play and it plays all the way thru with no problem. on a mac it takes 30 seconds before it will start to play and sometimes playback is choppy. why does this happen? what are the differences with playback of video on a mc and pc? is there some way i can get around this?

I'm having problems with my usual eval methods of creating objects to read off dynamic values programmatically using concatenation. I've found the set command doesn't seem to work with objects that are dynamic....
Code:
function createobject(item){
//create it and store something in it
set ("_root.item"+item.stored, "data storage test for item "+item);
}function checkobjects(){
for (i=1;i<5;i++){
checkit=eval("_root.item"+i);
trace("_root.item"+i+".stored="+checkit);
[Code] .....
Running this produces the output of...
Code:
_root.item1.stored=undefined
_root.item2.stored=undefined
_root.item3.stored=undefined
_root.item4.stored=undefined
How to do this - basically I'm trying to load data, then use that to create dynamic objects and values within it, then I'm trying to work with those values by again using loops to read off the dynamic values during runtime. Obviously if these were "fixed" variables, then it would be easy, problem is that its impossible to use the new Object() command with dynamic names!
Previously I've used this:
Code:
checkit=eval("_root.item"+i+".stored);
trace("value is "+checkit);
Is it my imagination, or was this stuff a lot easier to do in AS1?
