ActionScript 2.0 :: Pass Instance Name To Function As A Variable?
Apr 24, 2006
the idea is that the site keeps tracks of whatever page is current and passes this variable to the alpha function which will target that movie instance to fade when moving to another page - then that page's name will be assigned to current.this is the code that i have now..
#include "alpha.as"
evolution.onRelease = function() {
this[current].gotoAndPlay(2);
[code].....

Here's what I'm trying to do:I have a parent container movie that has several buttons on it. As it stands now the buttons trigger an instance of a MC on the main timeline to play using the "with" action (no biggie)I would like to put a frame action in that MC instance that uses the "LoadMovieNum" action to load a particular external SWF movie into the container movie depending on which button the user clicked.In theory I guess I need to somehow associate each button with it's corresponding SWF child movie that is to be loaded (SetVariable?)Then I need to pass that information to the MC instance in the main timeline that actually uses the LoadMovieNum command to load the SWF file.

Is there any way that you can pass a string to a function and use its value as the variable name you wish to change. For example.
Code:
var text:String = "Goodbye World";
function myfunction ( varToChange)
{
varToChange = "Hello World";
}
myfunction("text")

I was just wondering if it's possible to pass a variable from one swf to a function on another swf?
I have 2 containers on my main stage, each one loads an external swf, I want one to send a variable to a function in the other container.
I simply tried calling the function by doing _root.container2.fncTest("works"); just to see if it works
and in container2 I have
Code:
function fncTest(test):Void {
myText = test; //dynamic text box on the stage
}
but that didn't seem to work.. Do I have to make the function public or that only works for classes?

I have an external log file which name changes each session, with the format XXXXX.log
I need to load it inside a swf to show its data, but each time the logs name is different, I need to open the .fla, changing the name of the file and then republishing the swf.
So I have made a simple script to load another .txt, to type manually in it the 5 number of the logs name and load it externally inside the swf:
Code:
var logNumLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
logNumLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
logNumLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedLogNum);
[Code]....
While I cannot assign the value of logNum to the last function, the .log cannot be opened.

How do i pass a variable to a function from an event listener which is inside a function Below is a function that is called when after loading some variables
function dataOK(mydataevent:Event):void{
var j:int = 0;
do {
trace(j);
[Code]....
This is a simplified version of the original code. The above function generates an error because j is undefined in the function. I am wanting to get the variable j when the button is pressed.
How do I pass the variable j to the Button_Click function?

How can I combine the following functions and still pass a different string to the buildUI(); function?
I have two functions that do the same thing only at the end they both call a function and pass a String value to the function. This string value is the only thing different.
Below is are my eventlisteners and functions as they are now:
female_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startFemale);
male_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMale);
//FUNCTIONS THAT DO THE SAME THING AND BOTH CALL buildUI BUT PASS A DIFFERENT STRING.

k the idea is that this movie keeps tracks of whatever page it's on using the variable current. when the button evolution is clicked it should jump to frame 2 of the movie whose instance name is contained in the variable current and also pass this variable to a function called alpha which fade that movie's instance when moving to another page - then that page's name will be assigned to current.
this is the code that i have now..
#include "alpha.as"
evolution.onRelease = function() {
this[current].gotoAndPlay(2);
this[current].alpha(5, 0);
};
all these buttons and movie instances are contained in the same movie clip and the variable current is declared in it too.

Trying to pass a variable as well and cant seem to escape to pass it. How can I pass using window.open as such: Trying to pass (pid) all i get back is (pid) and not actual pid.How to on a jscommand?
Code:
something.onRelease = function () {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.someform.php?proj= + (pid)','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); }
I can do a standard getUrl("http://www.someform.php?proj=" + (pid), "_blank"); works fine but no control over window properties.

I have a base class I've used on 6 different MC's. Then when I use these MC's my function runs an if statement to check which one to add.
if(id=design) var obj = new design();
if(id=team) var obj = new team();
I want to make it a bit more dynamic and use the id:String to evaluate which new instance to create.
ActionScript Code:
public function loadChapter(id:String):void {
var obj = new instance_of( id )();
}
