we have this variable from the internet, val(0), in a dynamic text field we can see a digit from this variable. but when we use this variable in actionscript and test it with trace, the variable shows as undefined.how can we make this work without it coming up as undefined??

How can I test a undefined variablewith an if statement.
all a this did not work and I don't want to define a value for this variable.
name of the variable x.
if ((x == "") || (x == " ") (x == Nan))
{
trace("here");
}
Someone could find me the correct if statemtn to check an undefined variable on action script 1, mx 6..develloped with MX2004Pro.
In As2 i was used to just being able to put for example: Apple = House
and when i typed Apple As2 would see it as House, im trying that in As3 and it says "Undefined Property" which is obvious but,how would i be able to do this in As3? could i possibley make this a Variable? if so which do i use kind of variable do i use? Example: :Number:Boolean etc
take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

Lets say I have variable x = 5.
How can I use trace to trace "x" by feeding it the variable x, as in not the value 5 but the variable name?Since I need to know what variables were passed in my functions for debugging.
i have the movie clip name in a string;for example var="mc1";how can i trace the value _x of the mc1 using the var variable?i need to use this on a with(var) action.

View 5 Repliesa) thumbURL is a variable loaded from an XML file. The value is being passed correctly into Flash, as I have traced it and it outputs fine. thumbLoc is a number which increases through a for loop. So thumb0, thumb1, thumb2 etc. are the movie clips I want to load thumbURL into. The thumbURL I'm trying to load is in the format [URL] I have the following code:

I'm having a lot of trouble creating a manual variable trace for the following code.
[Code]...
i need to know the type of variable in the output with the trace(), so it could be something like so
[AS]var outputVar:String = new String();
outputVar = "this is a string";
trace (outputVar == String);[/AS]
well, i thought this was possible, but something must be wrong...
I'm just getting into this and can't seem to make the simplest thing work! I'm trying to learn to define and call functions. I get no errors but it won't trace the variable:

I'm trying to set up a test that will tell me whether a variable exists in memory or not. I'm running into the problem of my nested function preserving the local variable it uses, called "shouldBeDead". Here's my best effort, which doesn't work for me because the "shouldBeDead" variable is still alive[code]...
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to test to see if a variable is present anywhere in an array of an undetermined length.
I have people selecting things, and I want to make sure they do not select the same thing twice.
I have three randomly moving movie clips and one keyboard controlled movie clip which is meant to avoid the tree random flying clips.
I want to do a hit test that basically will do something if anyone of the 3 random clips hit the keyboard controlled clip.
in the hit test i want to be able to have this work for any of the three random clips (flying pumpkins with different instance names, pumpkin1 pumpkin2 pumpkin3). This is all done on an external document class.
I thought about an array but I have no idea really

Is there a way to test a string, such as the one below to see if it's an actual number value? var theStr:String = '05'; I want to differentiate between the string value above and one such as this: var theStr2:String = 'asdfl';
View 3 Repliesi have a for loop which increments a variable 'i' and then adds this variable to a string called 'test' like so..[code]however this does not work, it wont seem to add the variable 'i' when i trace (test). All i get is undefined?
View 1 Repliesf 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 have a situation where I am reading a wide variety of data from an XML file, and if a particular bit of data is not there, I simply want to hide a button. Before I go further, all my XML data in and out works fine, that's not a problem.
If I have this node in my XML:
Code:
<name1></name1>
read it in, assign to a variable and check that variable in the debugger I get this:
Code:
Variable _level0.assocImageName1 = undefined
This is fine. It has no value, so it's undefined.
Now, if I do the most simple of If statements this check just doesn't work. I've tried something like:
Code:
if (_root.assocImageName1 == undefined) {
_root.linked._visible = false;
} else {
break;
}
Now the odd thing, is that with quotes ("undefined") or without, this doesn't work reliably. It seems to just run right past the If and perform the hiding of the button regardless.
Also, if I put something in the XML like so:
Code:
<name1>data</name1>
I get this in the debugger:
Code:
Variable _level0.assocImageName1 = "data"
And check for that like this it doesn't work:
Code:
if (_root.assocImageName1 == "data") {
But oddly enough, if I take the quotes off it does work. What's going on there? I thought you also had to always use quotes when testing a string?

I've written a class in AS2 that extends the Object class It's an abstract class for debugging purposes. The class is defined in an external .as file. The problem is that in an .fla file, after I assigned a variable to a new instance of the class, and I trace that variable, it comes back as 'undefined' The reason it's a problem is that I want to call methods on the instance of the Debug objectIn the .fla, I have the following code:
//import any external classes
import Debug;
//Create general application properties

How would I make an if statement to check if something is undefined

It monitors the sliders position, however, it doesnt track it. It only tracks it if i change it from onLoad to onEnterFrame.
here is the set up. I'm working with three files. Main.swf which contains navigation.swf in a blankmc, empty mc called mcContent where navigation sleclected materials are loaded.

on my stage i have 24 instance MC Page created at runtime (when cliked the button execute 24 instance MC Page from the library). Each of those MC Page create an xml with infos (not important), this variable_XML created is nested inside each MC Page.. From my stage i want to call each XML from each MC Page for make 1 unic big xml, then send it to the server.
So from the main stage i created a button that call each xml of each MC Page (there is a definit number of Page only 24, no more, no less). So when the 24 instances of the MC Page are created I push there instance name inside an Array "Page_Array". Now in my function exportxml i use get ChildByName(Page_array[number]) for find them then i can apply my method to the according MCPage.. Until here no problem, trace(dispObject.name) work. but when i try to get my variable inside the MC Page : trace(dispObject.my_variableXML), it doesnt work..
here is my function (only 1 page for this example ):
function exportxml(evt:MouseEvent):void { dispObject=getChildByName(Page_Array[0]); trace(dispObject.name); //trace Page1 trace(dispObject.my_variableXML);// here it dont trace the variableXML
}
normally if i trace(Page1.my_variableXML); , it should trace "my_varableXML" no ??
I want to display variable myblock down 10 times and then test it for collison, I am using the variable I to store the blocks, If I manally set the variable i to lets say 1 and 2 and then test for collison it works, but when I use I from the for loop it only detects one object from the array, I think that there is something probably simple missing such as an extra variable, as you can see from the code I am trying to use the' i' to replace for instance addChild(blockarray[1]);
