I need to set a variable and create a loop with this to optimize.I can get it to trace what I want, but the code isn't working properly.
mainAccordion.s1.menu_btn1._alpha = 90;
mainAccordion.s1.menu_btn2._alpha = 90;
mainAccordion.s1.menu_btn3._alpha = 90;[code]....
I wished to create multiple copies of a variable in a loop.such as:
var pots:String = thisString [i]
and then i wish to reference one of these loop generated variables.Now how would you set it up so you could have all those variables of "pots" had their own names so one could reference say: "pots1" "pots2" or "pots17" ? This kind of situation would bee seen in a situation where I would be bringing in many array values and assigning certain parts of them to the variables. such as array[i][name]
I want to create a var that concatenates some text with my loop counter, this doesn't work:

I need to make a loop that can create (and use) incremented variable names. Basically I need to dynamically create a certain number of sprites and datagrids then I need to add these dynamically created datagrids and sprites to the stage. So the static code (which works, but I think is NOT the right way to go) would look something like this (I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but this should give you the right idea):

But I can't figure out the syntax and how to make it work... This MUST be possible! My knowledge is pretty thin in actionscript,
I would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".
Should I declare the _mcContainer var before the loop or no? (performance increase?)
for(var i:uint = _startIndex; i <= _endIndex; ++i){
var _mcContainer:MovieClip = _mcParent["i_" + _position];
}

I have some code that seems to have a problem. I can't seem to pass the x variable from one loop to within another loop.
Code:
var myLv = new LoadVars();
var myNv = new LoadVars();[code]....
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I'm currently working on an advanced preloader and i'm creating loads of different variables etc. based on the percentage loaded. I need the variables to be named Number + percentage, so in the end I will have Number1, Number2, Number3, Number4 etc. How can I create variable names using my percentage variable? Can't seem to find anything that answers my question.
View 2 RepliesI want to be able to have a number displayed on the screen that when one of the arrows next to it (up/down) is clicked it adds 1 to the original number (lets say 72). Then when they click the "save" button that really just takes them to the next frame (or a frame somewhere else in the movie), which is a confirmation page, I want the number they ended at to display on the confirmation screen.
I'm thinking that it is partially because I don't know what to search for.I know I have to create a variable and get the button to add one to that variable.
I have a [code]...
in the end of code i have 2 variables 'iconFace' and 'splice'.This variables without var.. so first question this is ok practice?
Second question: maybe need create 2 classes for this variables? and in class declare variable?
I want to create several variables (actually tween objects) in a for loop. I want the variables to get names like "variable1" when i =1, "variable2" when i = 2 etc.
for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
}
How do i do this?
I am trying to pass the text from an input text box to a sender variable called variables. The first line of code works fine, but how do I make it dynamic so I can use a loop to load the "first" names into variables.first1, variables.first2, etc.This works great...
variables.first1 = this["first"+i+"_txt"].text;
But when I try to make the left side of the statement dynamic, it does not work.
this["variables.first"+i] = this["first"+i+"_txt"].text;
I have this code:

i need to create an arbitrary number of display objects using a for loop because the number of objects will depend on the number of items in an xml file.
so i want to control the objects using actionscript. in as 2 i could create a temp variable in the for loop and use attachMovie() and assign an instance name. i know in as 3 you can use the .name property, but i heard you had to use the variable handler to control the object.
so i can't do this because it generates an error:
var numOfItems:uint = 5;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < numOfItems; i++)
{
var mc[i]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
}
Code:
save_all.onRelease = function(){
for(var n=0;n!=cArr.length;n++){
///some other stuff
[Code].....
I want the php file to be sent the variable and loaded as many times as the length of the array cArr... lets say cArr is 16 pockets long... only the 16n from textsave array gets sent to flash via the lv5.specialVariable... I'd like the script to run 16 times, each time with the value of n getting sent as the specialVariable..
Trying to pick up a movieClip instance from my library and set it on stage and make it clickable, (dropdown/dropup) menu).

for(var i:Number=0;i<MenuItem1.length; i++){

here is the wrong script:
var Var1:int=1;
var Var2:int=2;
var Var3:int=3;

I have an actionscript Tween that travels from the top of the stage to the bottom.I want to have a variable that displays the Y coordinate. To do this i have tried an if statement and a for loop, but none seem to work.[code]
View 5 RepliesI am trying to make a hangman game and have made an array with words and picked one at random each time the movie is run and then taken that word and broken it apart into each letter. I then made a loop to create a new TextField for each letter. Then I set them all to "visible = false"I want to get to the point where if the user selects a letter that is in the word that that TextField with said letter will become visible. Only I cannot figure how to get a function outside of the loop to see the variables (i.e. instance names of the TextFields) inside the loop.Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var words:Array = new Array("HELLO","WORLD","JOE MAMA","ALIENS","ATTILA");
var letterArray:Array = new Array();
[code].....
this is what I have:
[Code]....
In other words, I want the variable to increase by one each iteration of the loop. I'm sure there is a simple solution to this and I am currently banging my head against my desk
I'm attempting to use a for loop to set the onPress functions of all the buttons on a keyboard. Here is what i'm using so far:
Code:
Target.text = ""
Letters = Array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z", "_")

I am trying to replace all of the code below with a for loop.I also want to do the same thing with number variables as apposed to sprites.I have tried a bunch of things but nothing works yet.

var lineDrawing3:Sprite = new Sprite();[code].....
I have the following code:
PHP Code:
on (release) {
cNum = cNum+1;
for (b=1; b<8; b++) {
trace(["box"+b]);
["btn"+b]._y = ["btn"+b]._y+25;
[code]....
on release, the objects labeled btn1, txt1, box1, btn2..... should all be shifting 25pxs. It doesnt do anything.
I have a query regarding assigning values to buttons in a for loop, I will explain:This is a string which I want to assign to a button value via getURL:
