my code is pretty straight forward. i can't get the 'if...then' statement to fire correctly. var t DOES equal "_level0.item" + sel at some point, as seen in my second code snippet, but the for loop doesn't ever see it and only the false code is executed.
Code:
_global.heck = function(sel) //sel will be a number sent from another function

I'm trying to do a math exercise, but with images (MCs) instead of variables. For 1+1, I want them to drag into the answer box a MC that corresponds to 2 (a picture with 2 apples on it) I'm OK with most of that, but how do I evaluate the MCs to tell them they got the problem right? or is there
View 12 RepliesI need to evalueate a string as code... let me show you an example...Lets say, that I have a string:
Code:
string = "Math.cos(var1)*Math.sin(var2)";
And what I need to do, it to use its contents as code and not string like here:
Code:
var3 = Math.cos(var1)*Math.sin(var2);
I start an eventListener on frame 73. If I stop my movie and test animations in the flash player (going back to frame 1 for instance), the movie starts throwing errors because the listener is basically trying to listen on an object that doesn't exist anymore. So I was wondering if I could try somekind of "try {stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, myfunction}". I tried that with a catch statement but of course "try {}" doesn't work with asynchronous events. How would I go about that?
View 9 RepliesI have 25 textboxes on stage. I am using a for loop to point to each textbox and evaluate the contents. When I come across a textbox that has the letter "Y" in it I want to place an object called colorbox at a certain location. To do this I have assign the value in each textbox to a variable called tf and then evaluate the variable tf to see if it contains the letter "Y". When I trace this variable outside of my if statement it correctly shows the contents of the current box, however within my if statement it doesn't. Also the colorbox doesn't get placed at the designated coordinates and I get the following error message:[code]
View 1 RepliesI have that function in the class:
private function fireItemCreated(data: ByteArray): void {
setTimeout(function(): void {
var event: ItemCreatedEvent = new ItemCreatedEvent(data);
dispatchEvent(event);
}, 1000);
}
This function called to dispatch item created event when image thumbnail created.But it delays event on some time to prevent user interface freezes. And I'm guessing what could be happen if garbage collector executes after fireItemCreated function call but before timer event. Does the closure will be removed or it stays until it will be executed?
I have a json object where I don't know some of the values at compile time, but I do know that all objects will be valid at runtime. So in the example below, the first trace will output "50" and I want the second trace to output "100", the value of someObject.someparam, which gets defined at runtime.
var plan:Object = { "testParam": 50, "testParam2": "someObject.someParam" }
var someObject:Object = {"someParam": 100}// this actually doesn't get defined until runtime
trace ("testParam " + plan.testParam);
trace ("testParam2 " + someSortOfInterpreter(plan.testParam2);
I am creating headerText for a datagrid (dgTop250). How do I get the variable headerStr to evaluate correctly in the last line of the function? With the code below I get the entire string as the column header in the datagrid, not the evaluated expression that I need. Variable colName is evaluating correctly. I tried creating an Object of headerStr and using Object.valueOf() in the last line, but got the same result as before.

i have a small challenge calculating and evaluating a predefined path
here is my challenge in short.
- i got a path as a single color line on a white background (bitmap object but could as well be a vector shape)
- the path is a closed loop path (like a twisted and bend circle, let's call it a bean shape).
- i then need to move an object along this path in x steps but only once and stop exactly where it started
This means, i need to:
- find a start end point
- calculate the length of the path
- set keynodes along the path with X amount of spacing between (length/x)
- it got to be semi precise (within 1-2 px.)
one idea could be to loop throught the pixels till to find a color pixel and use this as the starting point, then use an vector with a predefined length (ex. 5 px) "rotate" it till it find a new color pixels and mark this as a new node, repeat the process till you get close to the starting point, and by using Trial and error you'll eventually have mapped the path, but this method is clumsy and not very accurate, if you don't hit the starting point spot on the first time, you'll recalculate everything over again.
I have 25 textboxes on stage named sw1 through to sw25. I want to evaluate the contents of each box using a for loop. How can I do this. Note the following code does not work for me.

I'm very new to Flash, and I'm not a programmer, I have an Input text box named txtNe2 where a user will type an answer to a question. I want to evaluate the answer when the user pushes the Enter key and respond by sending the movie to either the "Ne2C" frame or the "Ne2I" frame (for the response to the correct or incorrect answer).
View 4 RepliesI would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.

Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function. Currently, it's set up to increment blank_mc._y by whatever value is returned by [j]. But for some reason this doesn't work. I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.

wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a pause within a 'for loop' before it runs through the next loop? heres the script i've built up so far, i'm running off other variables and arrays to pull in the logos and the animating in is working fine except that they all run in at the same time, basically what i want is that they would run one after the other with a 5 second gap between them..[code]so i did that and put wait(delay); after the var boxcounter=2; in each of the If statements.. but no luck... can anyone shed any light? or suggest a way it get it to hold for a few seconds before running though the loop again? or am i going about this in completely the wrong way??!

i can fully see how things work up until i hit the FOR LOOP EVALUATION: child !=null at that point the loop is broken and the trace statements with xxxxx and yyyy come into play but why is there 4 lots of x and y traces? if the loop is broken and child = null which it does why does the statement carry on 4 more times - should it not just return? i understand that the update part of the for loop will execute only at the end of the loop but this still does not show why it should carry on like this?
