ActionScript 2.0 :: Returning Values From A Function?

Oct 12, 2005

I need to load data from a database, so I created the following function and placed it in frame 2 on the main timeline.

Code:
getQuestionSet = function (category:String, subject:String, level:Number, count:Number):Array {
var questionSet:Array = new Array();
var writeV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

[Code]...

Whenever I try to call the function, it fails to set the value of the questions array. It always appears empty(questions[0]-questions[10] have the value undefined). But, if I check the values from within the function after I have set them, it works, so I know that it is receiving the values. What am I doing wrong?

Code:
questions = getQuestionSet("Art and Music", "Art", 1, 10);

Here is an example of how I have would call the function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex Returning Values In Function Parameters

Apr 12, 2010

In C you can pass a reference to a data item as a parameter to a function. then within the function you can write to that address thus passing back a value to the caller. Can you do anything similar in AS3?

I know you can use the return statement but I want to return a status by that mechanism plus a value in a parameter.

PHP :: MySQLI Values Returning Bits And Ints As String

Feb 24, 2012

I have a project made in flex, using php data services to access a sql server database, and I need to convert it to mysql, I have changed all my php services from sqlsrv to mysqli. Something like this:

$this->connection = mysqli_connect(SERVER,USERNAME,PASSWORD,DATABASE); // Start Connection
$ssqlstring = "select * from Users";
$runssql = mysqli_query($this->connection, $ssqlstring);
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($runssql)) {
$users[$user["ID"]] = $user;
} return $users;

It worked fine on sqlsrv but with mysqli it returns to flex the INT, BIT or DATE values as string the main Datatypes on mysql are INT,VARCHAR,BIT(1),DATETIME,DATE (same as sqlsrv)
and on the flex the return types are mainly as object[]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning Incremental Difference Between Values In An Array

Jul 15, 2009

I'm making an activity that involves measuring the depth of a fictitious river at various points. I have an array containing those depths at the various points and a slider for traversing through the depths and outputting to a textfield.

As the user moves the slider up and down, they can see the depth of the river at that point and plot it onto a graph. What I would like to do is be able to figure out the depths inbetween the explicitly defined values.

here is the code, it's pretty simple:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning Values From An Event Listener Within A Class?

Jun 5, 2011

I am developing in Flash Builder 4.5 using as3.

I have created a class to connect, write and read to a TCP Socket using 'import flash.net.Socket;'

Within this class is an event listener which reads the incomming data:

Code:
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, readSocketData);
private function readSocketData(progressEvent:ProgressEvent):void {var response:String = socket.readUTFBytes(socket.bytesAvailable);
trace response;}

My problem is how to output this data back to my main application. Ultimately I want to process the data and output it in a text box.

Media Server :: Returning Values From Admin API / Connecting To FMS Without Flash?

May 26, 2010

I am trying to connect to an FMS application without flash (no SWF). To the best of my knowledge,the only way to accomplish this is thru the admin APIs, is that correct? If so, how do I return meaningful values from the admin API? I can call functions and stuff using the broadcastMsg API call but I can't seem to get back any values. All that is returned is a useless "Success" type message. I have tried using shared objects and the getSharedObjects API call, but the call doesn't return any info on the contents of the shared objects, just their names and some info on their persistance.
 
Is there another way of accomplishing my goal outside of the Admin API? If not how do I return meaningful variables from the Admin API? Is there a way to hack or extend the admin API?

public class Car

public class BlueCar extends Car

Ok. You get it. This doesn't work for a reason unknown to me. I get 1118 errors which complain about conversion of BlueCar into Car, etc...

Basically, i thought randomVar and vari were the same so when vari was changed randomVar would too but that's not the case. So how do i make the parameter equal the new value(5). I want to repeat the function using different variables so putting randomVar = vari in the function is not possible.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function Call Keeps Returning Undefined?

Oct 3, 2004

I have 5 buttons that onRelease (= when clicked) calls the same function with each a different variable.

contentLoader(profile);
contentLoader(projects);
and so on.

the function is:

function contentLoader(sName:String) {
trace(sName);
}

Now the trace returns 'undefined'...I just do NOT see it anymore The idea behind is that I want to use a moviecliploader to load in the content corresponding with the clicked button (projects.swf, so it'll use myMCL.loadClip(sName + ".swf"); That trick always worked, but like I said, it keeps returning undefined. Did I make a mistake by strict data typing sName as a String?

I'd like to return "k" as well as "activity[0].minutes" to the main program. Since the function is a MouseEvent, I'm unable to change "void" to "number"... and not sure how to return (pass) those variables back to the ain program.
