ActionScript 2.0 :: Reference All MCs From Outside The First Function Correctly

Jul 31, 2006

Got a list of MCs being populated from an XML file. Basically a list of two different types of information. Some are type A, some are type B.

Want to have a couple buttons that filter based on type (so if I push the button for type A (called "typeAbtn" below), only those MCs appear and type B MCs go to _alpha = 0 or something).

Can't seem to come up with a function to do it. I can't figure out how to reference all my MCs from outside the first function correctly.

terrible attempt:

Code:
function showMCs() {
for (var j = 0; j<stuff.length; j++) {
MC = timeline_mc["MC"+j];

Function Not Reading 'if' And 'else' If Conditions Correctly

I've got a function which is constantly running to see if a set of movie clips (ball0_mc, ball1_mc etc.) have been placed in a target zone.  Once the ballPlaced[#] value is true for a partiuclar moive clip, the movie clip starts acting in different ways depending on which other balls have been placed in a target zone (i.e. their ballPlaced[#] value is also true).

The 'if' and 'else if' conditional statements are contained within the playVideo() function which is constantly running through the ENTER_FRAME event. [code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Array Index To Function Correctly (xml)?

i can load xml, get what i want out of the nodes, attach mc's accordingly, etc. but i'm having trouble figuring out the best way to build a function for a button inside each dynamic mc that works correctly.I can build the function (which should load the corresponding variable's value for the array's position) but when the button is clicked it actually loads the variable associated with one array index position up.so if i'm clicking on the button that's supposed to load [0], I get the value for [1]'s variable. make sense?ode:

ActionScript 2.0 :: ClipEvent - Reset Or Refresh (unload, Reload) This Function So It Works Correctly Everytime Load A New JPG?

Sep 1, 2006

I have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?

//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc,
//resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter
onClipEvent(load) {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Null Reference From A Function?

Jan 30, 2012

I thought I understood this stuff by now; the objects within a function are onlyaccessible within that same function, unless you return it to whatever called the function.However I dont think that you can do that for a function called with an eventlistner, so I set up what I thought was a global variable and set its contents within the function, thinking that the contents would be accessible later:

ActionScript Code:
var bmpd:BitmapData;
var URLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sample.jpg");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass A Reference Parameter In A Function?

Mar 29, 2011

i want to pass by reference so i can use this variable outside the function.
 
What im doing is creating a global variable such as var cont:int; and then in a eventListener like enter_frame (stage.addEventListener..) calling a function called "mover", this function modifies "cont" value and i just want to print this value modified. The issue is i cant pass the value by reference just by const :S. The function is void, but if i change it to return int, its useless because each time i call the function, the value i want to return its created each time with a new value, beacuse i need to declare it so.. I read i can use a var such as Object but i really dont get it (im used to c++ i have to say)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Reference Each Array Name To Pass Into Function?

Nov 12, 2004

var myArray2:Array=new Array(value,value,value...)
var myArray4:Array=new Array(value,value,value...)

What I'm trying to do is use iteration to reference each array name to pass it into a function.
Like :
function doSomethingWithArray(arrayToPass){

//Later somewhere in For loop... :

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Reference To Variable/function Using Strings?

Sep 18, 2009

I'm wondering how I can create a reference to a function/variable by using strings. Sorry if I'm not explaining the problem well, but let me show you what I mean in an example:You can create a reference to a class using strings by using the getDefinitionByName as follows:var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("myClass") as Class;var myClass1:classRef = new classRef();Similarly, how do you refer to functions and variables? The reason why I want to know is because I'm trying to implement a function which takes in the event handler name as the parameter, and what the function essentially does is that it adds an event listener with the associated handler (based on the parameter) to an object, something like this:

public function addListener(handler:String):void {
mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, "on" + handler);
}
