ActionScript 2.0 :: Refering To Variable LoadVar Dynamically?
Mar 31, 2004
I am reading a file with certain user defined variables like &x=30&y=50&z=100Lets the variable is caught in a function as argument myVarnow depending on the variable the user passes I need to fetch the value. ie if the user passes x i need to read the value of x.lso keep in mind i dont havehow the user has named his/her variables.What i need to do it get the value of that variable by using loadVar.this.myVar;As such it gives me undefined. There is text present in 'this' myVar represents 'x'I have tried eval(this.myVar) as well as this.eval(myVar) but in vain

I am trying to create a game in Flash. There are 43 spaces of irregular shape in the game and I already know the X and Y location. I defined them as a class which extends movie clip, I put them on the main timeline to start and I gave them all an instance name. I want to initialize them when I am starting a new game. I defined methods to set and get the properties, those methods work when I use the instance name, but many of the spaces share the same properties. The instance names are all I+some numberm I1, I2, I3. When I try to use a variable name such as space_Id = ("I" + i) to reference the instance name I get an error "Call to a possibly of undefined method. I tried the old actionscript 2 solution of putting an eval function eval (space_id) in front of the method but that didn't work either. It resulted in the same error plus a warning. I1.My_Method (); // works but it would require 20 or so blocks of almost identical code
var space_Id:String = "I1";
space_Id.My_Method (); // doesn't work
_root.space_Id.My_Method (); doesn't work

In my program, I have multiple children of the same movie clip. Each movie clip has a text field inside it which shows data relating to that movie clip. However, I need some way to update that data at run time to reflect changes that may be taking place. My problem comes to, how am I supposed to target that specific child of this movie clip since there are around 40 of them on the stage at the same time?

this problem has been solved. i only had to remove the "else{ return false;}" bit. I'm an animator who kinda wants to be able to do some actionscript but who isn't that good at it. atm I'm trying to make something which contains a hitTest() which should check if my movieclip (doll_mc) is touching any instance of "ground".
My attempt to make a code for this has dramatically failed and this is all I managed to make which does make a bit of sense: var nrOfgrounds:Number = 2; /*this is the number of instances, which should be kept up-to date with the project, of course.*/
setInterval( groundCheck(doll_mc), 25);function groundCheck(obj:MovieClip):Boolean{ /*returns boolean groundCheck(<objectName> [in this case, "doll_mc"]); */ for (var i:Number = 1; i <= nrOfGrounds; i++) { /* <- i've got a feeling like this bit ain't working properly*/
[Code]...
just to see what would happen, and yes, this time groundCheck(doll_mc) would only be true when doll_mc was touching ground2_mc, but not when touching ground1_mc. therefore there must be something wrong with that one bit of code, but I can't figure out what!

i have a swf that is a email form. it works great if you just load this swf on to the server. but i have another swf that loads the email form swf into it. all of it shows up and seems to function except that it doesnt actually send the email. im guessing the problem is that the code on the send button isnt working with the new pathway. I cant figure out the path. heres the code that works in the email form

I've build several movies which all work fine, but ultimately they need to run inside a Main movie which acts as a holder for the various child movies which load into it.Everything is working fine but not when they're loaded into the main movie. The main problems seems to be that the main movie has common component which relate to all the loaded child movies.Consequently the main movie has several instances - but how do I refer back to them in the child movieclips?I can't get the child movie clips to compile if I remove the references but ultimately the child movie clips need to speak to instances and functions in the main movie.Also, I've got a global function to hold the global variables but this method seems frowned on. But I need the global variables all the time and in all the movie clips.

I posted this on the FLASH forum but the only answer I got was that it can't be done and I should use a server-side script. Flash should be able to tell if a load failed or not..yes.

im just wondering for the best way to read variables of a .php page into flash
[Code]...
but that dident work either the real problem is, i guess that i need it to read in the variable array[0,0]=1 just like that and not use sumthingrather=(myVars.varname) because there will be a hell of alot of variables, and the variable ammounts will switch and i cant do a sumthingrather=(myVars.varname)

How to add a child to the stage dynamically? I can get a child to add to the stage but not using dynamic variables. Is it possible?
Example:
var firstRoundWinner:String = "Redsquare";
var mc:MovieClip = new firstRoundWinner();
// want it to say = new RedsquareaddChild(mc);
With Redsquare as one of my movieclips and the linkage is working. I can add it if I hard code it. But I want to load the variable dynamically through xml.

So, if I need to give a custom variable name to an object how would I do that?
For instance, if I have a gameID that is 12345 and its rating is 3 I want to save a variable called gameRatings_12345 thats value is 3 in my shared local object.
//share object
protected var mySavedData:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("mySavedData");
I have the game id in a string
var gameID:String = "12345";
Then when I try to assign the value like this...
mySavedData.data.gameRatings_gameID = 3
I think it's literally reading it as "mySavedData.data.gameRatings_gameID" instead of "mySavedData.data.gameRatings_12345"
How can I give the variable a custom name?
