The fill function that I made works as long as you only need one color. How do I make a variable that will store the color? flash keeps giving me an error for trying to do it the way I am doing it.
Code:
fillit = function (d, e, f, g, color) {
color2 = "0x"+color
_root.lineStyle(1, 0x666666)

I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

I'm getting back into AS after a few years, and it's taking a bit to get used to the syntax of AS 3.0.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to the following in AS 2.0, so I wonder if it's even possible.
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to call a variable, the name of which is stored in another variable.
How would I write something like "NextToDisappear.alpha = 0;" and have it interpreted as "MC4.alpha = 0" instead of giving an error message complaining that variables don't have alpha properties?
In other words, is there a way to make it interpret a variable as its contents and not as itself when on the left side of an equals sign? Similar to the difference between quotes and no quotes when working with the contents of text variables.
I want to store the name of an xml node in a static var like so:[code]but when then i go and wrtie for example:myxmlList:XMLList = myXml.NODENAME;it is non working.what kind of variable do I need to use??
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to store multiple variables of different types inside 1 object. It would be ideal to have a separate property for each variable, but not required. Is there a way to do this?
View 2 RepliesCode:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numOfItems; i++) {
var t:MovieClip = "item"+i;
t.onRelease = activator;
}
This returns an error saying that there is a type mismatch because "item"+i is a string. It is a string, but it's also the instance name of an MC on the stage.
Let's say I have 30 MC's on the stage named item1, item2, item3, etc. Instead of assigning an onRelease statement to each of these manually I thought I could just run them through a for loop. They are not dynamic clips though, not at this point anyway.
i also has another problem here is the senario .first i select the square (there are too many object one of is square )then click the button now my event target is button previous one is square so i need to change the square(object) using that button.
View 10 RepliesI have a AS2 netstream instance, in which I am loading various flv's into. The 'main' video has links to other visble when its playing. I want to be able to store the position of the flv (in seconds) so that when the user comes back to the 'main' video it remembers where it was and contiues to play. This is the code I have written so far regarding this (its probably massively wrong).
var remember:Number;
if(ns.play == ("flvs/reel.flv")) { ns.time = remember; trace ("stored"); }

I am new to ActionScript 3.0, I am facing a problem in storing the data from one frame to another whenever the button is clicked to switch between the frames. The original frame content is set to default.
View 1 RepliesI have a variable (array) in my ActionScript 2 file, called webshop.Is this possible to store in a cookie (or PHP session) so if a user visit my shop and add items to the basket (the variable webshop) and leaves the page, but then returns later on it will create the variable with the users already stored items?I think it would be most intuitive if it only stores the variable for the browser session, so if you close the browser and open it again it will reset the variable. But if you just leave the page it should save it.

View 5 RepliesI ve a bit of missunderstood about functions: as i read the functions works:
basically 2 types:
named (can be lonely)
unamed (need and object)
- can i define a function wherever i want? ( _root, MC...) and call it from everywhere?, before or after i created it?
- if the variables of a function are local variables of that function. How can i store the result of a calculation of the function, in a variable outside it?

View 2 Replieshow can i get the value of a color from a variable. if i click the button, some rgb value should be stored in a variable and through some function i should get it. i wrote the function something like this:

var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(myVariable);
}

but it's not working.
I read the tutorial on this site about changing the color values of an object, or of a movie clip. My question is: How can I get the value of a color from a variable. If I click the button, some rgb value should be stored in a variable and through some function I should get it. I wrote the function something like this:
on (press) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(myVariable);
}
But it's not working.
I want to use a variable to set the color of text and graphics input by the user. I use the following code to set the variable:
var setColor:String;setColor = "0xff0000";
strokeColorBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, setStrokeColor);
function setStrokeColor(event:MouseEvent):void { setColor = "0xCCCCCC"; trace ("the new color is " + setColor);}
This works, and I am able to use the variable to set the color of type in a text field:
textFormat.color = setColor;
But when I try and use the variable to set the color of a graphic element:
designContainer.graphics.beginFill(setColor, 0.1);
I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to and unrelated type uint.
So I thought that I might have to cast the String as a uint, so I tried the following:
designContainer.graphics.beginFill(setColor as uint, 0.1);
That eliminated the error message, but it does not change the color.
I have two variables:
var defaultMainHexidec:Number = 0xFFFFFF;
var mainHexidec:Number;
If a value isn't assigned to mainHexidec I assign the default value as follows:
mainHexidec = defaultMainHexidec;
trace("mainHexidec = " + mainHexidec);
The trace returns the same value as the value returned when tracing the defualt value. But if I use mainHexidec as the fill for a rectangle, the color is black while the default value is white (or any other color). If I set the color using the default variable the fill appears correctly. If I set the number using the number traced in either defaultMainHexidec or mainHexidec (it traces the same number) the color is correct.
I have an XML file that is passing the color that is needed on a movie clip.I can make the color variable in the XML the actual HEX number and that works fine.Example:
Code:
//XML

The Idea is i want to make avariable that stores his value after i close the swf and open ti again,
an example:
i make acounter
var i:int = 0;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.start();
[Code]....
the value of i will increase but after i close the application and open it again the value will return to 0 , keep the variable stores his value after closing the application ?
