I have a problem with some code where it will not output exactly what I want.Here's a direct code copy of what I am trying to do. I think it might just be a syntax problem, but for the life of me cannot work it out.
Code:
var textFileData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
textFileData.onLoad = function(){
minNum_txt.text = textFileData.minNum; //minimum number specified for range[code].........
I'm working on a game were your health variable will add 1 hp automatically every second if the health variable is not equal to 100. How would you do that?

View 13 RepliesI'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to write a short AS3 script in CS4 that allows me to step backwards and forwards through an animation. I have a stop button a play button, rewind button and a forward button. The buttons work ok apart from when I hit the rewind button sometimes it jumps to the start of the timeline rather than just step back a frame at a time. When I use the stop button and the timeline stops where it is, the rewind button steps back as required.
But, if the rewind button is clicked first it jumps to the start of the timeline, I know the theory as to why I cant get this to work. I need to know how to increment an integer variable (counter) to increment as the animation players. i.e. the counter variable to match the frame number. Below is the code I have, how to match an integer variable to the current frame and tell me where to insert the line of code on the listing.
var counter = 1;
gotoAndStop(counter);
function setupevents(){
buttonplay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playbutton);
buttonstop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopbutton);

I want to have a dynamic integer reference.
For instance
ActionScript Code:
var heart:int = 5;
var stalker:int = heart;
[Code].....
Obviously stalker traces as "5" while "heart" is "7". However, I need to make stalker a pointer reference to heart.
when I try to type cast something, there r 2 ways to do it:if var integer holds a integer (Uint)
text_txt.text = integer as String;or text_txt.text = String( integer );
but sometimes when I want to pass a value to a function both ways don't work and only one way works, when should I use option 1 and 2???
I just started working with CS4 / as3 and I'm working on extracting simple text from an xml file. I got the code off youtube, and it seems that even after copying this guys code line for line, it doesnt work. More speficially, the trace/output doesnt want to output variables. I did use trace("hello") and that worked fine, so its not the omit output option, but it just wont display the values from variables.[code]...
View 5 Replies i need to know the type of variable in the output with the trace(), so it could be something like so
[AS]var outputVar:String = new String();
outputVar = "this is a string";
trace (outputVar == String);[/AS]
well, i thought this was possible, but something must be wrong...
I am traying to make some sort of a simple forum in flash. Problem occurs when I want to output contents of flash variable to file.
For example: I have inputText = "hello world how are you" variable. How can I output this inputText to an text.txt file, so that in text.txt will bi written "hello world how are you".
I'm quite new to AS3 (coming from php/c#) and like it very much. My problem: trace doesn't output anything in the Output window anymore?!

View 3 Repliesvar nextY = 0;

The type count is correct but the information for the project is wrong.
This is just a simple problem, i have two integers (for example)
var myInt:int = 3357;
var myOtherInt:int = 10;
Then i ask flash to trace myInt divided by myOtherInt
trace(myInt / myOtherInt);
And in the output menu i get 335.7 as the traced number and i need to get an integer which would be 335.
Somehow I cannot get the value of an integer inside a for-loop.
I define the vars like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class Fig2 {
private var a1_m1:int;
[Code].....
This gives me a: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type int."
Is there a simple way to test whether an integer is odd or even withing a conditional statement? Example:
ActionScript Code:
if (integer /*insert code that checks for odd or even*/){
/*execute whatever*/
};
I've just seen a statement like this.
Code:
if (_root.map._width>"3000") {
_root.map.larger = 0;
}
Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?
I try to increment each 2 hours but I don't know how to proceed.
View 2 RepliesI'm having some trouble converting a string to an integer. Here is my code:
var str:String = e.currentTarget.name as String; // Getting values like "song1", "song2"
str = str.replace("song", ""); // Changes it from "song1" or "song2" to "1" or "2"
var num:int = str as int; // SHOULD be converting the "1" to 1 and "2" to 2
trace("num:" + num + ", str:" + str);
The trace is always outputting:
num:0, str:1
num:0, str:2
etc..
The str value is there, but when it gets put into num then it zeros out.
I have 40 movieclips, with the instance names p[1-40] (for example, p14 or p32). I want them all to do something in order, so I'm using a 'for' loop. In simplified psuedo-code, it looks like:
for 40 {
variable = variable + 1
p[variable]

I was trying to display a number: 2893604342.00. But, when i am displaying it it is displayed as: -2893604342.
Following is the code snippet ...
avg += int(totalData[i][col.dataField]);
I have even replaced it with Number, but it's still showing the same negative number.
How do I convert an integer to a string value? This must be easy. "Ya guys in SO are da best at explaining." I'm still working on these dumb counters.
NEED TO JOIN THIS TOGETHER
//My counter project "sends to dynamic text field"
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0

How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from.
myThoughts
- It needs to read XML "parse it etc"
- variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing values and function calls"
XML
//XML
<head>
<seq_no>text</seq_no>

How do I extract the numbers out of a string like this[code]...
Everything but the currency symbol. Or from something like this:
rofl1.50lmao
Just asking if there's an existing function that I'm not a aware of.
The largest integer type in ActionScript seems to be a 32 bit uint (Representing values from 0 to 4294967295).I need something larger... ideally a 64 bit uint allowing values from 0 to 18446744073709551615.I was thinking of writing a class to represent these large numbers. I know there are classes for other languages (like bigint for perl) that can take care of this.

I seem to remember in an older version of Flash you could have a text field as an integer (whole number) and with a decimal point. Can someone please tell me how to do that in CS4?
View 0 RepliesI am trying to format a raw date input which is coming from an xml. Forexample: the input data is coming like date: 20090602. I wanna make it year:2009 month: 06 day: 02. I could only think 1 way to do it: by taking out the certain digits and assign them to seperate variables, or just 1 date variable. how to seperate certain digits?
