A while ago Orange Gold fixed me up with some code to navigate buttons by using a key pad I altered the code so I could get it to load an xml picture with each change of button. It works where when the down key is pressed the 'down' state of the next button is activated and the next xml image (in this case 'firstImage') is activated. *However the problem is that whenever the mouse is clicked outside of the button the image reloads. This would probably be an easy fix, however it is only leading me to frustration.
Code:
_root.onEnterFrame function() {
jms_btn.onPress = function() {

I want to load different .txt files into my flash movie, based on the url. ex: http:[url].....
flash would use: loadVariables("textfile1.txt");
create and send a variable called "return." But that conflicts with a word used in actionscript.[code]is there anyway to work around this naming conflict?
View 1 RepliesI have an MC object called with linkage to be treated as a class in the library,part of the code is what follows (what is relevant to this problem):[code]If I drag and drop the object from the library onto the stage to instantiate it and call the function from within the object, then there is no problem, and the code is executed with no problem. In the main movie clip, I want to create an instance of this class with code, add it to stage and call this function with the following code:[code]
Through the use of flags I have confirmed that we in fact enter the function setTable, and that this error is produced once I try to reference the cardArray.I do not declare the array outside that function because I need other functions in that MC to be able to see it. Relocating the declaration does not solve the problem, because then the interpreter advances to the lines where I reference other functions declared in the MC (which I want in there), and the same problem arise: it has not yet seen the declaration of functions like the custom shuffle function for arrays
I have a function inside of a class which is called by an event Listener I need access to a variable inside the function after the eventListener has been called.

I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

The problem over here is in the nextSong() function. I am unable to preserve the value of currentIndex. Although I am incrementing currentIndex every time the function is called, but the value remains unchanged.
Essentially I'm just trying to rotate an object (mc) clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the value of a variable called 'angle'.If 'angle' is positive it should go anticlockwise.If 'angle' is negative it should go clockwise.
Option 1
PHP Code:
if(angle > 0) {
mc.rotation += rotateIncrement;
}

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:

{
startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a custom function called "turnOn" with (name) as the function variable(?is that how I should refer to it?). This function is an if/else statement that will be called through an on(release) button event.
The if has a bunch of && conditions, if true gotoAndStop on frame two of specified movie clip. But I'm trying to write it put it in a function so that I don't have to put all this code on every single button. So i'm using the "name" function variable to specify the movieclip that should be affected by button action, but it won't work.[code]...
I am trying to add a Paypal Buy-It-Now button to my Flash site.The basics are simple enough:
this.cmd = "_s-xclick";this.hosted_button_id = "1234567";

...however, one of the button parameters to post is called 'return'.

I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?
I have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

If I set it to zero it doesn't get fired. What's the deal? Does anyone know why it wouldn't get called when setting it to zero.
