ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Dynamics To A Function From Within A Loop?
Feb 22, 2010
I want to call a function and pass a different array value each time. bit difficult to explain but see below:
Code:
var mnu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
mnu.hideBuiltInItems();[code].......
This just uses the context menu as an example. If you run it & right-click on a, b, or c, you get #a every time.What am I missing?! Why is it always #a? I have also tried using apply() but it gives me the same result.

for(var i=1;i<=2;i++)
{
var mc=attachMovie("mc_name","obj"+i,i)
mc._x=200*i;
[code]....
this code places two objects obj1 and obj2 and two buttons button1 and button2
button1 is expected to return _level0.obj1
button2 is expected to return _level0.obj2
Instead they both return _level0.obj2. Obviously, each button is passed the object corresponding to the last "i" in the loop. How shall I sort this out? One of the obvious solution sis to attach each button to its object
mc.mc=mc.attachMovie("button","button"+i,i+10);
but this is not acceptable for some other reason I also have to use this for(var i=1;i<=2;i++) block because in the final application the number of objects will be variable and set by the user at the run time.

I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

I'm trying to create four cubes in Papervision using a for loop. The cube class requires, as its first parameter, a MaterialsList. I've created four different MaterialLists in my code with the names materialsList1,materialsList2, materialsList3, & materialsList4. In a for loop, I'm trying to pass those variables as the MaterialsList parameter. It's not working. If I use the variables themselves in the code, it works fine, so I know my problem has something to do with how I'm trying to data type the dynamic name (see Actionscript below)The Actionscript:
PHP Code:
for (var i:int = 1; i<5; i++) {
[COLOR="red"] var cube:Cube = new Cube(("materialsList"+i) as MaterialsList,396

I'm using a few for() loops to populate my game. Now, I have 2 versions of each function, one that executes when my variable "debug" exists, and the other that activates only if "debug" does not exist.Looks kinda like this:
ActionScript Code:
// first, if debug exists, the script will execute for the single instance of my movie clip "myBox_0".
if(debug){
// assign a value to the string "myTarget"
[code]....
Now, on the line I starred*, if I enter "images/0" instead of what you read there, then it works. But when I try to use the variable "i" then it gives me the error "Error opening URL 'images/undefined.png'" I ran a trace statement to track "i" through the code and it works up until I enter the tellTarget statement... how can I get my script to pass that variable through that statement?

I'm new to AS3, I have an index.swf that loads thumbnail images from this file (projects_list.xml). When the user clicks on a thumbnail image I want it to pass the selected thumbnails "link" node information to the callFull function. You can see that I have managed to get it to work when I use the real path name. I just can't figure out how to pass the link node text.
Projects_list.xml file set up
Code:
<project id="0" name="Con" thumb="portfolio/images/con/thumbs/web_1_200pix.jpg" htm="" link="portfolio/xml/desc/desc_con.xml"></project>

I have 2 methods in a class and 2 properties. The first method fetchXMLData() gets data from an XML file. In the addEventListener method on the urlLoader object, I pass it a listener which tries to set the returned data to the xmlData property. However, it never sets it, and I know the data comes back because I can alert out urlLoader.data using the mx.controls.Alert component.

I have a movie clip that contains several movie clips, only one of which should be shown at a time. Which one is shown, depends on what buttons the user selects.Having trouble with the syntax for passing the argument in a button to the function that controls the tweening of the clips. (When I hard code the references into the function, it works, so I know the basic function is ok).There's a clip called 'slide1_mc' which contains various MC's to be shown based on user selection (in this case, using 'system' clip as the first one already showing). Here's the code in the parent clip of that item:
Code:
var currSection = slide1_mc.system_mc;
function changeSection(newSection):Void {
TweenLite.to(currSection,.3,{_yscale:200, _xscale:200, _alpha:0});
[code]....
Here's one of serveral buttons that will control the content to be seen:
The code in the button is:
Code:
var changer = slide1_mc.software_mc;
smallButton.onPress = function() {
_parent.changeSection(changer);
};
So - the initial part of my function works so I know my 'external' initializing of "currSection" is working (that clip is zooming/fading out)... but then the clip that I want to fade in isn't doing anything.

I'm creating a jeopardy like game and have run into a problem. when you click on the dollar amount a create a sprite on the fly and inside the sprite is a shape and some textfields. One of the fields is an input box. once you enter in an answer and press enter I create another sprite with a textfield inside it to let you know if the answer is right or wrong. Herein lies the problem. once your told if your right or wrong, I want the sprites to stay on the screen for 3 seconds then disappear.
I can get them to stay on the screen, but I can't get then to disappear because I can't pass the sprite to the function that I created to remove them. So everything works except the remove function. This is the error I get when the remove function runs: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'd post some code but its broken What I'm looking for is just information on how to assign a sprite to a variable so I can use it in a function. if thats not possible then is there a better way to do what I need done?

Hello, I'm trying to minimize code, so I am trying to use functions, and need to pass some strings through them in order for it to work.I believe I may be doing this incorrectly, so could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? On one of my movieclips:
[code]...
What that previous code should do is loop through all movieclips in the game and if it's not named player, move it in accordance to what "Direction" is.If the player is pressing the arrow down key, it will change "Direction" to "DOWN" and hopefully pass it.

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?

when doing something like passing an array of movieclips to a function then trying to access the name of the movieclip (a[i].name) why does it give instance names instead of the names passed in.
Here is example code from a function I'm trying to use to enable whatever navigation movieclips i pass into it:

Here is the code that I have right now (it obviousvly doesn't do what I want it to):
Code:#include "lmc_tween.as"
orig_x = mc_01.black_bkg._x;
orig_y = mc_01.black_bkg._y;
function buttonIn() {
What I want to be able to do is pass the name of the movie clip (ie mc_01, mc_02...) to the function, and have the function effect that particular movie clip. I had this code that didn't work
