ActionScript 2.0 :: Store The Result Of Calculation Of Function, In Variable Outside It?
Nov 11, 2005
I ve a bit of missunderstood about functions: as i read the functions works:
basically 2 types:
named (can be lonely)
unamed (need and object)
- can i define a function wherever i want? ( _root, MC...) and call it from everywhere?, before or after i created it?
- if the variables of a function are local variables of that function. How can i store the result of a calculation of the function, in a variable outside it?

I've created a series of calculations, and I've got that part down. Now, I just need it to show up in the movie.
I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:
stop();
var startDate:Date = new Date(2010,0,12); // use your startyear, startmonth, startdate in the new Date() parameters.var currentDate:Date = new Date(); // assuming user's clock is correct and in your timezone. else use server

I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

In the following example (yes, I am coding on my timeline while I try to work this out - I know, I know) I am loading an SWF in an HTML page and then directing the SWF to get the query parameters from the current URL. The query parameter will contain the source for the video to play.
This seems straight forward to me but I cannot get myURL = urlVars.videoloc; to work. More specifically, urlVars.videoloc seems to be undefined rather than holding the query parameter from the URL. All other variables are correct; both wholeURL and urlVars are defined.[code]...

How would I go about refferencing a variable and then turning it into a string (if that is the correct terminology). e.g:

I need the result of variable something to end up inside the speech marks without loosing its obvious refference to the variable.

I'm getting back into AS after a few years, and it's taking a bit to get used to the syntax of AS 3.0.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to the following in AS 2.0, so I wonder if it's even possible.
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to call a variable, the name of which is stored in another variable.
How would I write something like "NextToDisappear.alpha = 0;" and have it interpreted as "MC4.alpha = 0" instead of giving an error message complaining that variables don't have alpha properties?
In other words, is there a way to make it interpret a variable as its contents and not as itself when on the left side of an equals sign? Similar to the difference between quotes and no quotes when working with the contents of text variables.

I have a site that has a button on it and someone did a little javascript so that each time you click the button you go to a randomly selected URL from an array of links. Now, I was told to give my flash button the same functionality. I'm not really a coder, so instead of re-inventing the wheel, I'm trying to get the result of the javascript into my action script. So far, I'm completely unlucky.

Is it possible to store multiple variables of different types inside 1 object. It would be ideal to have a separate property for each variable, but not required. Is there a way to do this?

Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numOfItems; i++) {
var t:MovieClip = "item"+i;
t.onRelease = activator;
}
This returns an error saying that there is a type mismatch because "item"+i is a string. It is a string, but it's also the instance name of an MC on the stage.
Let's say I have 30 MC's on the stage named item1, item2, item3, etc. Instead of assigning an onRelease statement to each of these manually I thought I could just run them through a for loop. They are not dynamic clips though, not at this point anyway.

I have a AS2 netstream instance, in which I am loading various flv's into. The 'main' video has links to other visble when its playing. I want to be able to store the position of the flv (in seconds) so that when the user comes back to the 'main' video it remembers where it was and contiues to play. This is the code I have written so far regarding this (its probably massively wrong).
var remember:Number;
if(ns.play == ("flvs/reel.flv")) { ns.time = remember; trace ("stored"); }

The fill function that I made works as long as you only need one color. How do I make a variable that will store the color? flash keeps giving me an error for trying to do it the way I am doing it.

color2 = "0x"+color
_root.lineStyle(1, 0x666666)

I have a variable (array) in my ActionScript 2 file, called webshop.Is this possible to store in a cookie (or PHP session) so if a user visit my shop and add items to the basket (the variable webshop) and leaves the page, but then returns later on it will create the variable with the users already stored items?I think it would be most intuitive if it only stores the variable for the browser session, so if you close the browser and open it again it will reset the variable. But if you just leave the page it should save it.

I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.

I'm using the Alert.show in a function and I want to get the user answer from there. So how can I achieve this. The problem is the function that call Alert.show will return a true or false value depend the user answer.but It seem that in Alert.show it only allow to pass in a CloseHandler for this. that is a new function. and since that I can get the user answer from where it is call to return the user answer.

I'm building an app with transitions out of each page. I'm using the code below to store references to a function and parameters for that function to use. Is this the best approach though?
[Code]...
So, basically, the photo_btn is writing the references and variables, telling the transition to play, when it reaches the end, it calls the function that's stored in the __func ref and uses the parameters. I'm doing it this way because I have a bunch of nav buttons that all call different functions, and this is the only way I could figure out to get transitions to play and then call the desired function at the end.

I am writing my quest .as files for my RPG that I am making. At the present moment I am having issues with certain commands and how best to accomplish them. This pertains to my conversation system that I have in place. Currently, the conversations are stored as an array, with each index in the array representing a different "page" of the conversation. Now for my quests, at the end of each conversation (the last index in the array), I want a certain function to occur (receiving the quest, updating the quest, completing the quest). So my thought is to have a separate array with the same number of elements as the conversation array, and when the conversation text is updated to reflect the next page, it also will access the function array with that given index, and therefore only on the last page of the conversation will the function be executed.
Code:
var a:Array = [func0, func1, func2];
function func0():void{
trace(0);[code].....
Now my question is this, when is the code actually executed? When it is placed within the array, or when it is accessed with the for statement?
