ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Value Multiple Strings In A Variable?
Dec 3, 2006
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. ";
I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code: var myArray = new Array(); myArray.push (Snivvle); myArray.push (Kirupa); myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
I would like to compare a string variable to multiple strings. Is it possible?I wrote a pseudo code of my own which doesn't cause an bug/error report,but it doesn't seem to work properly either:[code]
I have the following: function ShowSlide(event:TweenEvent) { m= getChildByName("tag"+slideIndex+"_mc"); m.visible = false; if (slideIndex < 4) { slideIndex++; [Code] ....
And I want to do for "tagInitW" the same thing I do for "m" being given that I already have "created tag1InitW", "tag1InitH", "tag2InitW", "tag2InitH..." So is there anyway I can dynamically target a variable? This was easy in AS2, but because of the strict dataType the vars have in AS3, I can't do it like I was doing it in AS2.
How do I refer to a variable using strings and other variables? What I mean is, for example, you can refer to an instance of a MovieClip on the root level with instance name "mc1" by doing this[code]...
I have multiple mc's that contain input textfields. I want the results of these to appear one after another in the same dynamic textfield. Later they will be sorted alphabetically.
So far, I've been able only to get one item to appear at a time in the dynamic textfield--the next item replaces the first. A for loop didn't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the new text string to be added to the previous text string rather than to replace the first text string?
Anything at all similar I've seen creates a shared object instead of writing multiple strings to one dynamic text field.

Im using a tween engine, and its syntax for use is as follows::
[Code].....
How can I write "_x",100,1,"easeout",0,callback as a string?? I have tried to put "these" around the text. The problem seems to be that "_x" and "easeout" which are effectively strings inside the string! -- but for the tween engine to work - I need to declare that.
I have a list of txt files and when one is selected it is read and assigned to a string variable. this string is then pushed to a view : pushView(viewer, string), where the string is displayed in a textarea. I want to also pass the relative path of the file also. Is this possible to pass two strings?
i need help with Strings and URL variables.i created lot of languages in Strings panel (xml filesand folders created too).swf?lang=en.i need help with how to add this variable to as3 -using the strings panel from Flash.if .swf?lang=en - then selected language is english "en" write manually to browser if type "fr" like .swf?lang=fr.
I'm wondering how I can create a reference to a function/variable by using strings. Sorry if I'm not explaining the problem well, but let me show you what I mean in an example:You can create a reference to a class using strings by using the getDefinitionByName as follows:var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("myClass") as Class;var myClass1:classRef = new classRef();Similarly, how do you refer to functions and variables? The reason why I want to know is because I'm trying to implement a function which takes in the event handler name as the parameter, and what the function essentially does is that it adds an event listener with the associated handler (based on the parameter) to an object, something like this:
public function addListener(handler:String):void { mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, "on" + handler); }
I'm wondering if theres a way I can turn a variable of strings (separated by commas) into an array?I'm using the loadVars object to import variables from a text file that I'd like to import to flash as an array.For example if the variable I import from the text file looks like this:&myVar=charlie,dog,cat,test&I'd like to get it into an array in Flash like thismyArray = new Array["charlie","dog","cat","test"];
what I need to do is combine 5 arrays with 5 individual strings (which have come from a JSON webservice) into one single list item in FlashBuilder Burrito. [code]I've pulled these out successfully and each one traces in the debugger, although as I need them all in the same list I'm struggling to establish them as a dataprovider together.If I push the strings and arrays together it is impossible to read properly, as the main Titles are at a different level to any descriptors for the products which are in the arrays.
I'm completely new to this forum, and would like to ask your help for one issue. I am working on an interactive flash map, I was able to set all the countries borders with the help of fireworks (awesome tool), and import them back to flash and set each country as a button. I would like to set all of the buttons to have the same properties for example : All the buttons have default red color, and will have a mouse hover frame that will change the color of the button to blue. I DO NOT want to set each button manually, because I would like to have the choice to change the mouse hover color to a different one, and would like to avoid passing each button and changing each one's mouse hover frame.
Is there a way I can built a template of a frame, and for each button set its mouse hover frame as the template frame I built ? And then if I make any changes to the template frame, all of my buttons would be automatically updated ?
lets say i have 3 MovieClips: Tank1, Tank2 and Tank3. And i want to set them hittest or other setting. Its not wery dificult to do that, but i dont want to write the code if i create Tank4... I want my code to get all the tanks with a number, ant set them a setting, because there may be hundreds of tanks... I know it's posible on AS2, but i don't know about AS3.
I am trying to create a puzzle made up of nine pieces each named piece1, piece2 etc. each is a movie clip with an imbedded button. I am trying to make the pieces scramble upon load and be dragable, but I want to have them return to their original x and y coordinates when the viewer presses a button.
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...
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.
