ActionScript 2.0 :: Add The BlockOneUp Variable To The _root.Block?
Jun 15, 2008I need some help with some variable problems. (AS2)
Code:
if (_root.Block+blockUpOne.dead == false) {
surroundingBlocks++;
}
I'm targeting a duplicated mc from another duplicated mc. The 'blockUpOne' is the variable of the number on the end of the duplicated mc (the "i" variable when the mc was created 20, the amount of blocks in the grid across). Basically I'm trying to target a block on top of the one with the code on. I need to add the blockOneUp variable to the _root.Block to made a string which targets a duplicated mc above the one with the code. Even more basically, I want to target an mc by adding a variable to the targeting code.
Example:
Block above: Block34
Block with code: Block54
if(_root.Block+(54-20) is alive){
do stuff
}

Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?
Mar 7, 2012how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:

I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Put The Character Variable And Info In The First Keyframe And Refer To These Via _root In Any Frame
Dec 29, 2010I am trying to make a game to learn actionscript. my game is going to have multiple keyframes, ie one for dungeon, 1 for a large map yadda yadda yadda. Things like the character i would like to be available to all keyframes. i am assuming i put the character variable and info in the first keyframe and refer to these via _root in any frame. However if i want to make a dungeon and use the dungeon scene variables i would use this.
right now since i am only on the making a dungeon part i can refer to anything using this or _root. Case: my dungeon scene consists of walls and paths. right now i can do something like if(_root["path" + yPos + xPos]) _root["path" + yPos + xPos].removeMovieClip;
i can also call the same code using this instead of _root and it works. when i add a main new main frame and move the dungeon scene from frame 1 to frame 10, will i still be able to inter use _root and this and have the same effect, or once i move the dungeon scene from frame 1 to frame 10 i will no longer be able to use _root. also i only have 1 layer.

Jun 22, 2010I admit I'm fairly new to flash, but I've almost finished an entire RPG battle system complete with music [etc. etc.] - but my problem is trying to add a preloader.. I have a basic page which says "Loading" and has a Dynamic text box below which should read the Variable "_root.loadText". In the first frame I have this code:

and in the second just "_root.gotoAndPlay(1);" for the updating process. I'm sure that's all okay. But when I export it, then upload the swf file to somewhere like SwfCabin to show people for testing purposes, they have to wait on just a blank white screen for 1~3 minutes.. -note: I use both Adobe flash CS3 [at home] and Macromedia Flash 8 [at school] - I can stick to just CS3 if needed.

I am able to access a local variable (xcorner) which is never declared before, at the condition that it must be declared after... in an "if" for instance. If I remove the declaration of xcorner, within the if, errors occur at compilation, but otherwise it works.

IDE :: Flash Pro 8 - Local File For Variable Storage?
Mar 28, 2009Presently I'm building an interactive CD-ROM based presentation for stand alone individual machines. I'm using AutoPlay Media Studio 7 to package a flash movie along with a licensed adobe reader and adobe flash player. One of the buttons on the autoplay package will install and create folders and files on a local machine.
I've uploaded a file for you flash gurus out there to look at, it may help to examplify what I'm trying to achieve. What I'd like to do, is to be able to use a file (perhaps XML?) that the flash movie can reference and make changes to. If this is possible then such file would be included in the AutoPlay package (see background info above) and installed on the local machine.Security is an extremely low key issue here and the username password is simply a means for flash to lookup and recognise an existing user (if there is one) and set the states of some variables.
Why? - The project is like an interactive training manual with questions and animated examples split into 8 modules. I would like to be able to provide users a means with the of not having to review previous modules by logging in at the login frame.
Code:
Assigned to 'signInUser' button
on (release) {
if (user_name == storedUserName) {
if (pass_word == storedPassword) {

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Select Variable Filename From Local Directory With Fn To Load XML
Aug 23, 2011I would like to select a specific xml file to load from a local directory. The file name is composed of "Title" + "number sequence". I know the Title (in this case its XLink07), but I need to select the latest number sequence or the latest by date stamp.
For example, the local directory has the following files:
XLink01[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298101].xml
XLink07[36735298100].xml
XLink07[36735298101].xml
In this example I need to select file XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml where XXXXXXXXXXX is the highest number within the XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml files. Title is Xlink07 and function should return Number sequence [36735298101]. Files with higher number sequence have later date stamps than files with lower number sequences. I need to select the highest number or the latest date stamp for the file that begins with XLink07.
My action script to load the local .xml file without any function to select the correct file is:
Security.allowDomain("*", "*")
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XLink07[36735298101].xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
