I'm using flash MX, and this was written in the only frame. Before this, I had the function declared and then called, and the output was 1 then 2 then 3.With the function declared at the end there is no output.In both cases the movieclips never played.
Actionscript Code:
_root.McG1.onRelease=Select(1);_root.McG2.onPress=Select(2);_root.McCar.onPress=Select(3)[code].....
I have a loop that is supposed to run a set of functions and output movieclips on a main movieclip. Each of these smaller movieclip is supposed to be a tile. The code below is supposed to make 50 movieClips each one from a different reference on the tileSheet. However it outputs 50 of the exact same movieclips.
Code:
var tDMax:int = 50;
//Start Get tiles
function getTiles():void{
tList.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
tList.graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth * 5, tHeight * 10);
[Code].....
Strange enough whatever I made tDMax which is supposed to be the limit for the loop, that's what all the movieclips become. For example if I put it at 25, then all the movieClips become tiles from the bitmap sheet reference # 25. That leads me to think that it's not passing the variable to the functions correctly, and it's only doing it once the loop finishes. But when I trace things like rowT and colT the references to the bitmap are correctly. And when I trade tn within the other functions that's always correct also..

protected function start(){ var nfunction:Function = function():void var innerVar:int = 5; }}

"you cannot delete variables that are declared within a function with the var statement".Which, as it happens, is precisely what I was trying to doI want to delete the object because it holds a bunch variables that are no longer needed, to prevent potential speed/memory issues later on.it's impossible (probably with reason) and I know vars are local to a function, so now I'm wondering if it is actually necessary to remove local variables
View 3 RepliesI have a problem accessing a variable which is to store a frame label. Code has been shortened to relevant parts. The following is on the main timeline.

I have a movieclip called "sections" which loads different sections of the website.When the first section is clicked thencontainerCenter is true and the evt.target.name is loaded in to the nextSection variable.Now if a 2nd section is clicked then containerCenter is false. It plays the sections movieclip. Within that movieclip it will eventually play and come to the following script:
PHP Code:
gotoAndPlay(nextSection);
For some reason it won't pick up the variable "nextSection" within the movieclip. I'm getting the error message "Access of undefined property nextSection". It has no problem when it is in the main timeline.I know you can't access a variable declared inside a function, but I have it declared outside the function as you can see above. I've just amended the variable from within the function.
I am trying to access a shared object declared in a certain function, from another function. I am having

These two functions are taken out of my as class file, even though the setInterval is never cleared it only calls generateParticles 1 time. Someone please help me figure this out. I have been messing around with it over an hour but still can find why its only called once. emit is a private var Number declared outside the function in the class.

I've got a class where I'm using:

View 1 RepliesI am opening my mind to be lead down the path of the masters.I have created movie clips of hand drawn symbols; a1, b1, c1, a2, b2, c2...etc.I would like a text field to supply the input string, parse the string, then output the same string graphically with the MCs depending on a style (1 or 2).
ex: User inputs HELLO and selects style 2, on a button click a series of movieclips appears; h2,e2,l2,l2,o2.
I'm working through some tutorials from my instructor to eventually build a simple e-com website for a state park.

I don't have any practical need for this but just for learning purposes, is it possible and how to trace the name of the function to the Output panel?
View 6 RepliesThis simple code is not working properly:
ActionScript Code:
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
trace ("Message");
} Key.addListener(keyListener);
The message is only output when some keys are pressed, such as W, D, Space, etc. I don't know why. I am using Flash CS3 (AS2).
How do you send the output of a function to a dynamic text field on the stage instead of the output panel?I have used trace(); but that just sends the value to the output panel.

I'm doing a basic site with frame labels on the main timeline whose name corresponds to the btn names. A simple otoAndPlay(evt.target.name); I have a basic navigation setup of 7 mcs with mouse eventlisteners for CLICK, ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.
Example:
prepare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);plans.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);retire.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,

Does anyone know a better way to do this so when my mcs are clicked they display the rollover content/art? In essence I'm trying to achieve that when the user clicks a btn it goes to that "page" and the corresponding btn stays highlighted. Pretty standard web navigation technique but I just don't know what the best way to do this in flash is and with how my site is setup.

View 3 RepliesWhy does this program always output the text for "future" from function year()? In this case, with b+c equaling 56, var year should fall under (b+c) > 0 && (b+c) < 1000) and return "roman", but it instead returns "future"...I got this to successfully work if I add this:
var period:String = (year(b,c));
and in my body function, make the conditionals check the period. For example
if (period == "future")
but I don't understand why I need to do this. I am returning a string, why do I have to set another variable? There is no compiler errors so clearly its not syntactical?
var a:String = "Tim";
var b:int = 50; //CHANGE TO ANY INT YOU WANT
var c:int = 6; //CHANGE TO ANY INT YOU WANT
var d:String = "Kyle";
var sum:int = b+c;

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

I'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?

onClipEvent (load) {
if((_root. mc1._visible=true) and (_root.mc2=true)) {
_root.mc3._visible=true;
}else{
_root.mc3._visible=false;
}}
To achieve next: mc3 is visible only when mc1 and mc2 are visible else its hidden, but this dont work, with this script on load all clips are visible on stage mc1, mc2, mc3, inspite there is a script which is hiding mc1, and mc2...(they should appear on stage on mouse event and this was ok before a inserted script from beginning of post, now they are always visible). How should I write this to make mc3 visible only when mc1 and mc2 are both visible on stage.
trying to use a function on 7 movieclips..wrote it all down with 7 individual EventListeners..but it can be much easier.Tried this, but that won't work..trowing me an error:

So I've got 7 movieclips named Object1, Object2....Object7, and when I click on one the movieclip has to stick on the mouse and if it is released nearby the target movieclip it has to stick to it. If it is not nearby it has to go to a random place..

I have 3 movieclips on my main timeline - 1 MC for each frame. The movie clips are named image1_mc, image2_mc, image3_mc. I want to have all 3 mcs have this code on them:
[Code]...
I'm adding movieclips from an external .as class called GUI. But what I'd like to do is be able to load multiple GUIs - lets say GUI0, GUI1 & GUI2 - through the one class using a dynamic variable. So if I need to load a certain GUI i can just instantiate the GUI class and run newGUI.loadGUI(GUIname); and have it load the correct movieclip based on the variable.So, syntax aside, it would look something like this:
Code:
loadMenu(GUIname) {
GUItoLoad = GUIname;
var mcLoader:GUItoLoad = new GUItoLoad();[code]........
I've tried a few different things syntax wise, and have had a search and browse, but have come up empty handed.
