i'm trying to determine whether the value of a certain variable has changed...basically the code is something like this:
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (loaded != filesize) {
[code].....
I have a "var counter:Number;" that changes when a function runs I need to know when that variable changes and what it has changed to so another function can use it
View 3 RepliesHow do I listen from the main class to a sub class for a variable change?
package {
import flash.events.*
public class DataBase extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
This is what I have so far for the sub class but I can't seem to figure out how to listen to this variable change from Main() or even if I am dispatching the event properly.
if there is a way to listen to a variable for changes? I've seen that you can listen to a change in a component, but I've not found any examples of variables?This is what I have tried, to no avail....
Code:
var myVariable:Number = 0;
var myListener = new Object();
myListener.change = function(change) {
trace("variable changed");
[code]...
I have also tried .onChange instead of just .change but get the same results.
I'm working on a game where multiple laptops (16-20) will be playing the same swf file in flash player.
I need to know if there is a way for the flash movie to listen to a mySQL database for a value change.
For example:
The flash movie is stopped and checks the database if a value has change from 0 to 1. Once the value changes to 1, it will play the next frame.
I need a control where all 16-20 laptops play the next frame at the same time. One admin will dictate this action.
i have 5 submit buttons for example. When each submit button is clicked, a portion of the application is done. When all 5 portions are completed(or when 5 variables == true) I want something to happen.As of right now, on my submit buttons I am checking to see if all variables are true like so...
Code:
mySub.onPress = function(){
someVar1 = true;
if(someVar1 == true && someVar2 == true){// 3 more conditions here....
// do something
}
}
Is there a way to "watch" these variables, and when all are true do something, instead of having these conditions on my submit buttons?

I have an Object in actionscript which has a few dozens of properties each of which is defined to be bindable and has its own change event. I would like to listen to any changes made to this object without having to add a listener to all of its properties. Is there a way in actionscript using which I can listen to any change in the values of an Object ?

View 2 RepliesI have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
I'm trying to achieve something i thought would be extremely easy, but i can't get it to work!

I'm creating a board game which has 3 variables, p1Move, p2Move and activePlayer.
p1Move and p2Move store the p1 and p2 location on a game board. activePlayer stored who's turn it is at the moment.
I am loading a value in from a text file which changes the value of move. This all works fine when i designate a player directly:
ActionScript Code:
p1Move = [insert variable name],
but i want to designate dynamically based on who's turn it is.
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root["p"+activePlayer+"Move"] = Number(this.varAmount);
so that flash changes the value of p1Move (or p2Move depending on who's turn it is) to varAmount. varAmount is the variable being read from the textfile.
Hopefully that all makes sense. Basically i want flash to change the variable associated with the active player only.
I have an flash movie with on the main timeline a movieclip "MC1". In this movieclip I have another movieclip "MC2". On the first frame of MC1 I have declared a variable x and I want to give this variable a new value when I click on MC2 but it doesn't work?!
Main timeline: 1 frame with MC1
MC1: 1 frame with MC2
Codes implemented on the timeline:
MC1:
x;
MC2:
onMouseDown = function() {
_root.x=1;
}

View 9 RepliesI have one swf file that containes a mc using an easing function to move an arrow around. That mc has the instance named myruler. The arrow moves based on the value of a variable named "y". This swf also has a mc that I use as a container to load movies into.

View 3 RepliesI have a flash movie being loaded inside a parent movie. Inside the loaded movie is a variable called lvl, and its refered to as loadedmovie.lvl in the parent movie.
So if i'm wondering what the lvl is in the loaded movie, I just use loadedmovie.lvl to get the variable.
But I want to know when this variable CHANGES. How am I able to detect when this lvl variable changes? Inside the loaded movie, it's been set to change almost every frame in the movie, but I'm not going to call a function inside every frame of that movie to find out when it changes.
how do I detect a variable change and then make it call a function?

Can I detect a change to a variable (a data string)?
I am making a AS2 SWF (player level 7) with a combobox page navigation. I have a page name variable that I am changing from outside of the SWF with Director and Authorware using (I believe) FlashVars. The variable (internally) is set by default during SWF initialization. The external variables values allowed are always one of the combobox's data field values. The combobox default variable is not always index positon 0 (zero). Or the order of the data either. The variable can get changed internally by the nav combobox used for navigation independent of the external variable. - this works When the shared nav var is changed from the external source, the combobox needs to change to the match the corresponding combobox's data variable. This is what I am trying to do. I can change the combobox setting programatically (index) but not get it to recognize it as a change event. Or tell it programatically
Can the combobox be selected by the data variable or is the only option to use the index (and loop through index values to match variable to data field)?
And update the combobox selection (and as a result the nav page) by triggering a change event programatically?
Detecting the var change cleanly without the OnEnterFrame trick is my goal - if it even works in the version I have to use (flash palyer 7).
I need to change one variable at the click of a button the problem is that when I enter the first frame i declared a _global var _global.conteudo =null;

But when I click a button , i need change my _global var for example:

However I do want the variable to be valid even if the playhead is not in frame 10. This should be so simple.
