I'm sick of writing long scripts or being locked in certain cases to not being able to use dynamic features because I don't know how to use things like eval on the left side of the equalsHere's an example
Code:
base.mitem1y = mitem1._y
base.mitem2y = mitem2._y

I wrote an application in flash AS3, and when I trace from flash the total memory usage of the total application is only about 9MB, But at the same time Task Manager Shows the memory usage as 110MB. Around 100MB difference.Flash Trace Method System.totalMemory difference of the Trace from the Beginning of the application to end of the application.

View 8 RepliesI have an array of objects. What I would like to do is get the last index of an object whose property equals a certain value.
Ex:
// this occurs on a mouse click
var stockObj:Object = new Object();
stockObj.ID = "an_id";
stockObj.category = "a_category";
array.push(stockObj);
//psuedo
trace(array.lastIndexOf(stockObj.category=="a_category"));
I would like this to trace the index of the object whose category property equals "a_category"
I'm having problems placing an equals character in my locale file.I have to do something like this:
#greater value
greater_value = the value must be ( >= ) than the corresponding value
but when the thing is displayed in the ui the text after the second equals is missed.how do you place an equals character in a flex locale file?
edit: I have already used, escape characters, ascci code, html codes and unicode unicodes.
I am having quite a bit of trouble with one of my classes not working with the custom PixelPerfect-Class. Looking into it I found the error occurring in this line:
Code: Select allbM:Matrix = objB.transform.matrix.clone();
It's throwing a 1009. Playing arounf with trace I have come to the point, that the hero in my little game has no transform.matrix (it's null). This is not related to the CollisionClass, i traced it independently of that.
I need the img_n variable below to be equal to a text value when hover_n equals different intergers.
img_n = ("i"+hover_n+"_caption");
For example, if hover_n=23, then img_n = i23_caption;
Is there a text equivalent to eval() or something that can return this value?
I am very new to flash, I got a player, and the idea is for a top down shooter kind of thing, I got the player to rotate with left and right, and its rotation equals its direction, now how can I make it move forward in its current direction when I press up?
View 3 RepliesI have an array. I have a button, when I press on it I want to be able to loop through every item in the array and see if EVERY item is equal to true, if so I want something to happen.
var allIsTrue = false;
_global.myArray = [false, true, false, true, false, true, false, false, false, false, false, false, false,false,false,true]
///would not do something
[Code].....
I thought I could loop through each one and if a false statement if found, the loop stops and the variable allIsTrue = false. But if the loop cycles all the way through allIsTrue = true.

when I use hittest and eval?
View 1 RepliesBasically 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]......

View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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]...
