ActionScript 3.0 :: LoadMovieNum Not Working?
Aug 23, 2009For the past 7 years I have been creating a presentation in CS3 using Flash and ActionScript2. I am using a new plug-in that requires me to use AS3. I basically have about 20 different flash files, and to link all the swf files together I used to use:
stop();
loadMovieNum("gtradial.swf", "1");
When I use this now I receive this error:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method loadMovieNum.
what I need to add/change to make this work with AS3?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Any Way To Eval String Into Array?
Dec 9, 2010I 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 2.0 :: Using Eval To Check Through All The Objects?
Feb 25, 2003I 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.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Instance Name Not Eval'ing Correctly
Apr 28, 2003I 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]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Convert Eval() Flash 5 Code To It?
Jul 27, 2010I'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]...
View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Eval Methods - Dynamic Object Name Creation
Mar 9, 2009I'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?
JavaScript :: How To Dynamically Call Function At Runtime Without Using Eval
Nov 11, 2011I'm trying to build an API in JS that will perform some operations and then execute the callback that's registered in AS when it's done. Because it's an API, I am just providing a JS method signature for another developer to call in Flash. Thus, the callback name that's registered in the AS part of the code should be a parameter that's passed in to the JS API in order for JS to communicate back to Flash.
For example:
[AS3 code]
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashCallbackName", processRequest);
ExternalInterface.call("namespace.jsFnToCall", flashCallbackName);
function processRequest(data:String):void {
//do stuff
[Code] .....
Because the definition of the function is in AS, I can't use the window [function name] approach. The only way I can think of is to build the callback in a string and then use the eval() to execute it.

Mar 1, 2012I'm setting up a multi-lesson game and using it also as an opportunity to make the switch from AS2 to AS3. It's been a bumpy road but I'm getting it but think I've hit a roadblock.Is there an equivalent to the "loadMovieNum()" parameter from AS2? I have been merrily building all the individual games assuming I'd just swap them in and out of the same level so they purge each other as we go.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use LoadMovieNum() From AS2 Swf Contained Within It?
Sep 19, 2007Does anyone know if its possible to load a AS2 swf into a AS3 swf, and then have the AS2 swf load other AS2 swfs onto different levels (e.g. _level1, _level2, ect...).
