ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing A Variable To Global Function In Another Mc?
Sep 17, 2009
After having recently just discovered the delights of actionscript, I am at a loss to work this out. I'll explain:I have a series of buttons which, when each one is clicked, need to grab their instance name (this._name), strip the first three characters from it and send it to a global function in another mc within the swf.Instead of stripping the characters, I am happy to do:
if (this._name == dot1) {
dotVar = 1;
} else {

I have a movieclip on the stage, and in that clip I have a button that is supposed to turn a global variable from true to false, but the compile tells me:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property root through a reference with static type Class.
When I use this code:
Code:
function closeMSN(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.visible = false
Stage.MSNOpen = false
}
I know how to reference the movieclip itself by this, but how do I change the value of a variable on the main stage, from inside the movie clip?

I can then access it and get to to trace from anywhere like this:[code]However...I need to to go into something being converted to a string...like this...txt.load("xml/january/1.xml");Where the Janauary is replaced with the global variable. However, everything inside the quotations is being converted to strictly text, so that txt.load("xml/monthvariable/1.xml");Literally looks for the "monthvariable" folder instead of the January Folder. How can I put a variable into a string like this, so the variable is actually the variable and not the strict text?

I'm having an issue with a global variable. I'm trying to give it a value within a function and it isn't working.The variable is imageList. It's an XML List. I'm making it global so I can use it anywhere in my project. I suppose if someone has a better idea to avoid the global variable, I'm up for that too. But for now, it seems like the way to go.
Here's my .as file:
package
{
public class MyGlobal
{
[code]....
It's giving me the same same Error #1009 as above. It seems like a scope problem, but why? Shouldn't it work since it's a global variable?

I've currently got this script (see below). What I'm trying to do is make it so I can load several images from a loop. I've played with a few different things, but I'm not completely understanding how the listener works as it relates to the loader. It seems when I try and add a second image, it only enters the onComplete function 1 time, therefor i only get one Image loaded. As a side note, I've also been trying to dynamically change the x and y position, but I'm not sure how to modify a global variable from within that function, or better yet, pass in the arguements during the eventListener call to onComplete.[code].....

I have a global var
[Code]...
The only problem is it can't "see" myGlobals. I was wondering if someone could tell me why it can't see it! I'm sure it has something to do with scope.

The variable currentIndex is declared globally and initialized with a certain value say '0'. How do I hold the value of currentIndex which is incremented every time the function is called? In the given code, every time the function is called, the value is reinitialized.

I have a primary function that calls upon other functions, which call upon other functions, etc, each one creating different objects. I need to delete everything eventually and was thinking the easiest way to do this would be to have a global array to push() each object into. It would be easy to just put garbageArray.push(thisCreatedObject); into the for() loops of every function to grab all the objects so a deleteFunction() could just cycle through garbageArray to remove and null everything cleanly.
What I want to do:I could easily just create a global array to do this (code example 1), but I would prefer to be able to recreate this global array and delete it every time this primary function is called (code example 3) since it will be called upon a lot. It would be cleaner code to have it created from within the function as opposed to outside of it because I will have a lot of primary functions doing similar things that would require a global array like this.
I also know I could create one and simply pass it as an argument to every function (code example 2), but I would have to pass it to every single function. There are a lot of functions and a lot of calls to them, so this would require rewriting a lot of code and would be more work than it's worth. Making a global array outside of the function would be easier than doing this if it came down to it.
ActionScript Code:
//example 1 of global array. No passing as argument from
//primary to secondary functions. Multiple global arrays
//required for multiple primary functions in the future.

I have a button that I would like to enable and disable a function within my game. The button is called "flashBang". I'm thinking this may need to be done with global variables to make the switch do this procedure. How would I go about scripting this variable? Also I want to be able to target this function during gameplay, if this function is enabled do this line of code - _root.gotoAndPlay("flash");
The code needs to fit somewhere in here i guess.
//hitTest top + bottom wall
if (_root.ball.hitTest(_root.topwall) or _root.ball.hitTest(
_root.bottomwall)) {
_root.yspeed = -_root.yspeed;
_root.audio.gotoAndPlay("flash_bang");

The problem over here is in the nextSong() function. I am unable to preserve the value of currentIndex. Although I am incrementing currentIndex every time the function is called, but the value remains unchanged.

If I remember correctly, objects are being passed to functions by reference, so I wrapped my primitive variable into object but did not get the resilt I wanted. I combed this group to see the solution and found only this one:
function changeObjectStatus(obj)
{
return obj.status = true;
}
[Code]....
var v seems to be a new object rather then a reference to the old one. and changing v does not affect the original object.
Does this mean that if I want the function to work with several variables, I need to create a separate object for each variable?

It seems that with as3, the error compiler is just waiting to get you.I have a function that loads in an external swf. Which swf depends on which button they click. So, it could be pic1.swf, pic2.swf, pic3.swf, etc.
function loadMovie(){
my_mc.addChild(my_Loader);
addChild(my_mc);[code].....
When i test, I get "error: access to undefined property myVariable.

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.

I'm trying to write a robust "eventMaker" function that I can run with arguments that will then create an event listener based on the arguments.
However, I can't seem to get it to pass the arguments. Functions are impossible to pass; it can't convert string versions back to functions, and passing the function as type :function just yields "function() function{}".
The same is true with strings and class definitions - if I want it to refer to an object in my other .AS file called "helloWorld", I can't make it think of helloWorld as anything other than a string or an object, and when I write commands based on it I get errors.
So how do I contain classes, functions, et al in variables that I can then reference again, in code, as those functions/classes? How can I convert a string value to something that the code will know is a reference?

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
