ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting And Passing A Variable?
Jun 1, 2009
im trying to set up a variable passing system where once the user clicks a button it sets a variable and then once the movie hits a certain frame an if statement checks the variable and sends the user off in the direction depending on what the variable is.
here is the code on the button
on(release) {
set("global", "variable1");
}
[Code]....
the code seems to be working on the first part as the movie goes to the "here" part but i cant get it to go to the "thisplace" section.
How do I set/access the "Text File" variable as shown in the two pictures. _root and _global don't work.I also tried to access it from _root.CrosswordPuzzle.cp_words_textfile.I don't get components.
What I am trying to do is create a root variable that can simultaneously equal a range of numbers. But I cant use the for command because the variable it will assign will only be confined to those brackets and can only be pulled from code inside the brackets
I'm using createTextField to create a textfield. I have also created a input textfield with a variable called textline1 (I don't create the inputfield with as).I want to display the letters in the created textfiled that I'm typing in the input field. So this in my AS coed:
_root.createTextField("text1",1,100,100,300,100); text1.variable = textline1; format1 = new TextFormat();
How could I set a Flash (Actionscript 3) variable using javascript? Or is it possible to call a flash function with parameters from javascript? I have tried ocument.getElementById('flash').SetVariable("data", "asdf");but it only works in AS2 and AS1.
I have loaded a movie clip from the library using the addChild Method. Now, from withing the main timeline of this loaded movie clip I'm trying to set the value of a curScore variable on the stage.
trying to get a variable set so that I can use it in another class.I am trying to set the class variable animate. My "intended" goal is that I am trying to load in an external SWF file that is a pulley In this external SWF file I have a function that stops the animation called "stopAnimation()". I want to be able to access this stopAnimation function in a couple of class files. So I pass this object to those classes and then I should be able to access the stopAnimation() function from where ever but I cannot seem to get the contentloader info into a class variable in order to call it from other objects.
PHP Code: azar pin:Number;pin=1234; enter_btn.onRelease = function(){if (pin=input_pin) {gotoAndPlay(3)}} It's a cash machine demo, if you were wondering about the "pin" variables. Basicaly there is an input textbox with the instance name "input1" and the "var" setting is "input_pin" the button has the instance name "enter_btn". If the pin number = pin number typed in, go to frame 3. But it dont work...
I have a flash file that has an XML driven menuing system to select and play various FLVs. I want to be able to craft different URLs to open the swf and start playing different FLVs. (The others will be accessible from the menu once the sfw is opened, but I am looking to control what plays on opening, dependent on what link a user click.) Not really sure about the best way to get the selection into the swf.
1.) A page with a question, including a "submit" button, and an Input Text field where the user can type in his answer.
2.) A page with "Correct" and a page with "Incorrect".I have already gotten the pages and graphics created. But for the life of me my Action script is not working. The tutorials I have looked at would help me if I were making the quiz one total page where when you answered the question there would be a comment that came up, but that's not the case.
I have a flash movie, which has two frames and constantly loops. On the first frame I have set my variable, and on the next frame I make it add 1 to that variable. Thing is, the variable is currently being set to "0" on frame one, added one, then set back "0" again as it goes back to the first frame. Is there a way, without adding extra frames to set a variable on Load but then to not set it again?
My actionscript is like this: Frame 1: count = 0 Frame 2: count +=1
I'm trying to set up a loop for a movieclip btn with the instance name "btnEnter". btnEnter is loading XML content from a file called menuDef.xml

How do you set a max and min value for a variable? I have defined a variable, myVar, to have a default value of 10 at run time. The user can then use buttons to increase and decrease the amount. How do I set the limits?
I have one timeline with two labels; "Sound" & "Mute". Is it possible to get the labels framenumber without setting variables as the movie plays? I need to "get" the framenumber directly when the movie is loaded.
In words if that makes it easier: When movie is loaded Get framenumber for label "Sound" Get framenumber for label "Mute" Done
I have an MovieClip star with a setup var X which is set to 0 for the thing I'm duplicating, namely star
===Star====== onClipEvent(load){ x=0; }
If I duplicate the clip a bunch of times so I have Star0....N. Is there a way to set the x value here to the i value of the loop for each object duplicated. Such that star0 will have its x=0, star2 has its x=1 and so on. setProperty wont do it or _root["star"].x=i;
How do you set a variable so that other layers can retrieve that variable. PHP Code: nick.onPress = function (){ set.my_txt = "nick"; gotoAndPlay(2); trace(get.my_txt); // This does return "nick"}; // Then in another layer after the animation :trace(get.my_txt); // this returns undefinedmaintextarea.text = get.my_txt + "'s Portfolio";
i have long string values how do i set it up ... like this
var longString:String = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

So when a user uploads their image, the file name of the file is passed to flash so that the image displays within the Flash UILoader application. Here's the PHP variable I'm trying to pass: $filename= ''; And here's where Flash's UILoader gets it's source (ActionScript 3.0): uiLoader.source = "freshly uploaded file.jpg ($filename)?";

I am using SWFObject2 and passing in a flashvar to the movie it is loading (preloader.swf). I can retrieve the flashvar in preloader.swf no problem at all.The issue is that I am loading another swf from the preloader.swf (lets call it loaded.swf) and I want to get the variable from preloader.swf into loaded.swf - but for the life of me I just can't work out how to do it.If I try and access the variable from the preloader.swf via loaded.swf I just get compiler errors because the variable I want in preloader.swf doesn't exist in loaded.swf
