ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Movieclip Name To Function?

May 12, 2007

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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A MovieClip Reference To A Function In An External Class?

Mar 25, 2010

I want to create a MovieClip, pass this MovieClip to a function in another class where it will be modified.The problem is, when I pass the MovieClip as a parameter to a function and start making changes, the changes are only made locally. The "copy" of the MovieClip inside the function gets changed, but the "real" MovieClip back in my main game class remains unchanged. Here's the code from my Main class:

Code:
var resourceLoader:ExternalResourceLoader = new ExternalResourceLoader();

IDE :: CS4 - Passing XML File Name To Function

Aug 19, 2010

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>

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A Function To AddEventListener?

Sep 4, 2011

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Arguments To Function?

Oct 8, 2009

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A Sprite Into A Function

Jan 20, 2010

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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables Through A Function

Aug 5, 2010

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable To Function By Ref?

Feb 23, 2011

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?
