ActionScript 2.0 :: Using _global With Functions?

Aug 28, 2008

I am using _global to declare my vars and funcs. On the whole it makes things easy for me. However, I have come up against something that I cant fix.

Code:
_global.swipeCount = function() {
if (c >= 3) {
text01_mc._visible = 0;
text02_mc._visible = 1;

[code]....

This function is called from some MCs that have a simple single-layer, timeline-tween with an action at the last frame calling this function. The problem is that _root.swipe_mc.stop(); never executes. The MC keeps playing. I can however make it _visible = false; So it is finding the correct path.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Different Between _root And _global?

Jun 4, 2009

difference between _root and _global when dealing with variables or point me in the direction of a good explaniation on the web? I feel like there is something basic I am missing. For example the other day I was working on making some scenarios. In a nut shell I was setting up dynamic text boxes where the text would changed based on what the student selected (via buttons).

When the varible was changed (by clicking the button) the text wouldn't refresh when it was a _global, but would refresh when it was _root. Everything is working fine but I've been trying to understand the "why" it works this way.

ActionScript 2.0 :: _global Good Or Bad?

Mar 4, 2004

I recently read an article about prefacing your variable w/ _global.

And I think it rocks!!!

Why is this practice taboo?

Why do so many tutorials insist you remember the scope of every movie clip?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Inserts The FIRST _global Property?

Apr 9, 2010

I have a button with a list of _global settings:

_global.practiceName = pName.text;
_global.practiceStreet = pStreet.text;
_global.practiceCity = pCity.text;[code]....

Then I have a MC with a dynamic text box with some AS:

practiceInfo.text = practiceName+' - '+practiceStreet+", "+practiceCity+", "+practiceState+" "+practiceZip+" - "+practicePhone+" - "+practiceSite;

The problem I am having is it ONLY inserts the FIRST _global property! Only the pName.text goes in. Am I missing something here?The practiceInfo.text works great if I manually state:

practiceName = "AbC";
practiceStreet = "1235 Way";

ActionScript 3.0 :: Alternatives To _global Variable Path?

Jun 8, 2009

through out a very old complicated fla there are buttons which set variables using _global paths
 
such as:

ActionScript 2.0 :: _global Won't Listen (get The Globals Set By Projector.swf)

I have Flash site with different .swf's.

[Code]....

In projector.swf I have a movieClip with 2 buttons for language: nl_btn & eng_btn. Clicking makes the _global.taal change to "dutch" or "english". menu.swf gets the global and responds, but all the movies loaded in _level0.container_mc won't get the globals set by projector.swf. Now that menu.swf is in as1 i thought this would be the problem, but changing the _level0.container_mc movies into as1 I still couldn's trace the _globals.

AS3 :: Flash - Simulate AS2 _global Variable Using A Simple Class?

Feb 14, 2011

I have recently started making (and am still making) the transition from ActionScript 2 to 3. I have used the _global variable in an AS2 project as I needed a variable to be accessible from within ANY swf loaded into my main movie. This worked like a treat.

However, along came AS3 and whipped that from right under my feet. After much Googling, a few people suggested making use of a simple class with a simple variable that can be publicly set and retrieved. I made a simple class, imported it and manipulated the value, and all went well, however the instance of the class I create in my main loader movie is still not accessible from within a second SWF that gets loaded into my movie. If I re-instantiate the class in the SWF that is being dynamically loaded, the value reverts to the default value in the class code, not the new value set in my parent (first) movie.

Here is my class code, stored in an external .as file, is there any way I can simulate the ostype variable being a global variable?

package{
public class ostype {
public var ismac:Boolean = false;

[code]....

it's used as a simple identifier as to what operating system this flash app is being used on (mac or windows) and as a result let's me server content - such as saving files - in a different manner.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX 2004] Access _global Variables Between Domains?

Apr 6, 2005

Is there or is there not possible to access _global variables between domains? on [URL] i have index.html and index.swf. Index.swf then loads main.swf from [URL].In index.swf i have a _global variable that i want main to use. When calling for it all i get is undefined. The only way to access it is if i call for it using _parent or _root.

I have allowed the domains to communicate using

System.security.allowDomain("http://www.Domain1.com");
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.Domain2.com");

I have also put a crossdomain policy file on both servers..cross domain policys since i CAN access the variables and functions using _parent and _root...or is it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Error 1120: Access Of Undefined Property _global?

I can't understand this stuff. A global variable is a variable I can read from anywhere in the document right? if I make a mc and in the action frame I type:

_global.myVar=5;

After that in the action frame of the main timeline I try to trace the variable with this sentence:

trace (_global.myVar);

and I get this error 1120: Access of undefined property _global.It's just me or the help menu or live doc are really useless?The examples I found are not working. The definitions are not really clear etc etc

ActionScript 2.0 :: Access The _global Object, Which Was Created In The Main File?

Apr 5, 2005

Here's some background: I am working on a project in which we have one main Flash file that loads other Flash swfs into an empty movie clip within the main file.The main file instantiates a class I've made (stateManager) into a _global variable.This object keeps track of the most recent states of the other individual files so users can navigate between them all and come back to the same status they left it.Here's the issue:In the sub files, I need to access the _global object, which was created in the main file, many times so I would like to use the 'with' construct to reduce typing. However, because the 'with' statement needs an object to reference, I am unable to publish my files .I've tried adding an if-statement at the top of each file (if(_global. stateManager == undefined){ ), but this doesn't work either.I've included a portion of my code for you.

Code:
import classes.stateManager;
if (_global.stateManager==null) {
_global.stateManager = new classes.stateManager("./InitFiles/global.xml");[code]....

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Variables - If-statement Has Been Activated, _global.var1 Is Still 0 When I Trace It In Frame2?

May 25, 2004

I am making a jigzaw and when all the pieces are put in the right place, another movie clip will be played.All pieces are buttons placed in different movieclips. The movieclips are then placed in scene 1.

In frame 1, I've written
_global.var1=0;

In frame 2, I've put movieclip1, and in movieclip1 I've placed button1, with the following actionscript:

on (press) {
startDrag ("_root.movieclip1");
}[code]..........

However, when the piece is in the right place, and the if-statement has been activated, _global.var1 is still 0 when I trace it in frame2.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Inheritance / Interface - Override A Function That Return An Object Of Class A And Make It Return An Object Of Class B Which Extends A?

Aug 4, 2009

I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

ActionScript 2.0 :: Styling Components: _global.styles.Label.setStyle("autoSize", "true"); Does Not Work

Feb 23, 2007

According to the Flash 8 Actionscript Bible, it is possible to set a style that will affect all instances of a certain component class by typing the following code:

ActionScript Code:
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
_global.styles.componentClassName = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.componentClassName.setStyle("styleAttribute", "value");

A disclaimer says that "[this style technique] will work with almost all of the component classes. However, the following classes will not allow you to set a class style object: List, DataGrid, Tree, and Menu." (ch 29, pg 644)

So why does the following do nothing:
_global.styles.Label = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.Label.setStyle("autoSize", "true");
