View 1 RepliesI have some buttons named bt1, bt2, bt3 etc
They have a common function for when each is clicked called buttonclicked.
Within the function buttonclicked, I'd like to grab the number off the end of each button name so that I can compare the number to a global variable I have called global.data.clicker
so...
if (number at end of event.target.name == global.data.clicker) {take action...
Is it possible, and if so, what code do I need to put in the first part of the if statement to make it work?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to access Flashvars that I declare in my HTML from a SWF that gets loaded after an intro animation.
I am able to access one of my Flashvars in the opening SWF just fine, but when the next SWF loads, I'm unable to access my Flashvars.
HTML Code Snippet: Code: Select all<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject2.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swffit.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfaddress.js"> </script>[code].......
Am I not targeting it properly?Alternatively, I've tried storing the flashvars URL in a variable in my root SWF and accessing it from the loaded SWF, but I can't seem to grab it. How would I grab a variable that is declared in my root SWF?
Is it only possible by counting the number of white spaces appearing in the string?

View 3 Repliesim trying to grab the instance name of something on stage, set it to a variable then remove it.
iv tried:
Actionscript Code:
var something = object1something.removeMovieClip();
that works. problem is im setting variables at runtime depending on a user click.tried this too..
Actionscript Code:
var myvar;object1.onRelease = function() {myvar = this._name;}
tracing this out reveals that it is actually _level0.object1.also tried adding the string "_level0." + object1. still dosen' work.what im trying to do is click on objects. store there instance names into an array then remove them all when i do something else. such as press space.
I have an xml doc that has 6 categories that are colors and 4 questions that fall under each category. My question is I'm trying to create a quiz that will grab a question/answers based on a variable between 1-6 from the (6) categories in the xml doc. But the kicker is I want the user to have to choose from a different category if the 1-6 variables are different. And I need to walk down and grab a different question if they have been to blue before or maybe just a random question from the blue or green section.

I want to know if is possibile through regularexpression, count the numbers contained into a string and add a specified character near it.
For exemple, this is a string: Hello2all821abc13 This string contain 3 numbers: 2, 821 and 13 (note that the numbers contained into 821 and 13 are considered like an unique entity, not signle). I want to add near each of it the "-" symbol. Is it possible?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to restrict the number of characters in the Flex Rich Text Editor? I guess there should be, since it's possible in a textarea. So, if I could get hold of the textarea contained in the rich text editor, I would be able to do it
