Nov 4, 2009The bold below is what I would like to work, however it does not. It might not be able to happen like this at all.
basically on mouse down I take the event.target.name and perform a string manipulation to get the number out of the target and add some string to front and end to get the name of the movieclip I would like to effect. Is it possible to insert the value of dotName into the path?
eventName = event.target.name;
stringManip1 = eventName.substring(13, eventName.indexOf("_")); //get the Number before the _
dotName = "dot" + stringManip1 +"_mc"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Variable In A Path To A MovieClip?
Apr 20, 2010using a variable in a path to a MovieClip.
I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want it to open and the previous one to close.
I'm storing the previous tab as a variable (_previousTab) but am having trouble adding the variable to the path to the MovieClip of the previous tab. The error Flash gives me is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at MenuRun/menuOpen()
[Code]....
If I replace mainframe[_previousTab] with the name of the MovieClip it works fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the variable being a String perhaps?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Alternatives To _global Variable Path?
Jun 8, 2009through out a very old complicated fla there are buttons which set variables using _global paths
such as:
function menu1_2(Event:MouseEvent) {
global.mode = "hide_hotbox";
MovieClip(this).gotoAndStop("stage_1_b");
}
How can I make the variable "hide_hotbox" and others like it accessible and changeable from any movie clip -- whether they be nested in other movie clips or on the main timeline, etc?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loadinf Swf With URL Path As A Variable From A Class?
Oct 18, 2009I need to load an external SWF into a movieclip, and get the name of the SWF from a variable from a class. The variable is called getSWF and is defined as the following in the class
public var getSWF = "movie.swf";

var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
I get the error:

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadMovie Fails When Path Is Passed In Variable
Mar 14, 2009Oddly if I use a quoted string, like

it works fine
But if I pass in a variable:

loadMovie( fullpath , 1);
it fails ???
Can't find anyone else's comments on such an issue.

Jun 23, 2009One movie, named Gallery_1, with hotpots via which external swfs are loaded into a container mc of the main timeline of the Gallery_1 movie,
Via another button function the Gallery_1.swf is loaded into a container mc on the timeline of the main swf, which works alright as well, but when one then clicks the hotspots of the Gallery_1.swf one gets following error message:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable GallerySite not defined.

The traces in the eventHandler function work alright.I wildly imported all relevant classes I could think of, e.g. the GallerySite class to the WebSite class and vice versa, and tried various variable definitions, but am at a loss by now as to where to define the GallerySite variable.

View 3 RepliesFlash :: Mxmlc Compiler - Source-path Preferred Over Library-path?
Nov 9, 2011the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
