why is my variable not being passed into my function?
Code:
dealerLocate.urlButton.linkButton.onRelease=function(webAddress){
web=webAddress
trace("this is web "+web);
[Code]....
the webAddress variable is from the exact same timeline making it one level up from this function. it traces out correctly too so I know the variable is there... just not getting passed!
I have a basic XML file and a parser in as3.
So far, I can get it to parse and trace data from the xml file:
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var tester = xml.item;
[Code].....
My objective is to pass in a bunch of variables from my XML file that I can use anywhere in the flash project.
My code seems to produce an error (7 times - same code) "1120: Access of undefined property xmlMarker." This appears on all occasions where the variable 'xmlMarker' is called outside of the function ('showData') where it was first produced.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>[code]............
I have a feeling that I shouldn't refer to the variable as a 'MovieClip', but I am unsure what else to pu thee if that is where the fault lies.On the stage there are several buttons relating to the place names attributes (works perfectly), dependent upon which button is pressed, the scene then jumps to a frame (again this works well), however within that frame there will either be 'myMarker_mc', or myMarker_mc2' (this does not work!).
In c++ if I have a function that takes a class I have defined elsewhere as a parameter like so:void moveto(CPoint2D point) { ... }I can invoke it and pass along data to it like this:moveto(CPoint2D(0,0));basically creating the object and invoking it's constructor to be passed to the functionIs there an equivalent to this in AS3?if I have a function like this:function initialize(min:Point, max:Point): void { ... }how do I do something along the lines of :initialize(Point(0,0), Point(10,10))This throws an error im assuming because it thinks I want to cast something to a point and the notation I found earlier to do something similar only seemed to work if using the basic Object class.
View 1 RepliesBasically I want Javascript to pass a variable to Flash according to resolution. I realize my syntax might be off, but something like:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if (screen.width <= 800) {
expand = "false";
[code]....
Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't know exactly what I need to put in the <param> and <embed> tags, and how Flash would detect if the variable was true or not.
In a 'for loop' I'd like to add an event listener to a series of buttons. For each button I'd like to define a different function. Is it possible to pass the variable through when the functions are being named? My buttons all have sequentially named instance names.Here's my code:
for (var cBut:int = 1; cBut < 4; cBut++)
{
this["c" + cBut].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ["orangeValue" + cBut]);
}
And the resulting error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@42f50a89 to Function.
Why isn't the "finco" not recognised/passed to php? I'm not getting the text results!!
Code:
var finco = "motors01";
XMLParser.load("[URL]"+finco, onFinish);
function onFinish($success:Boolean, $results:Object, $xml:XML):Void {
if ($success) { category.text += $results.category[0].value;
namez.text += $results.namez[0].value;
[Code] ......
Passing an XMLList to a function to layout text and link that text as a button.[code]...
So it displays fine but every link that is set up in the MouseEvent.CLICK is the last one that gets processed, even though it displays the text for every link correctly.
I have traced it inside and outside the MouseEvent and its all fine, but anytime i click any button it always goes to the one link (the last one processed)
Is there a way to look at each variable passed into the paramaters of a function. For example, taken the given code.
Code:
package {import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class Dot extends MovieClip {
color:uint;
dotSize:uint;
[Code] .....
So in this instance it would loop through color, dotSize, doughnutSize, and doughnutHoleSize and set the paramaters of the class to be the same value.
Example for each loop:
Code:
for (var key:String in object){
trace(key + ": " + object[key]); // object[key] is value
}
So, is this possible?
I've created a simple script in PHP for retrieve the list of files contained in a directory. After that, i need to pass the "lista" variable to ActionScript.

Oddly if I use a quoted string, like
loadMovie( "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf" , 1);
it works fine
But if I pass in a variable:
var fullpath:String = "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf"
loadMovie( fullpath , 1);
it fails ???
Can't find anyone else's comments on such an issue.

My employer is making a flash card and they want to customize it by passing a variable in the url that links to the card in order to fill in a dynamic text box.So the URL will have ?me=Bob on the end to but Bob's name inside the card.I've done this for them in the past but that was AS2 and I'm trying to use AS3 for this card. oward a code snippet or tutorial on the best way to accomplish this. If we could use an embedded font that would be a bonus.

In my case I have 6 movieclips and 6 corresponding text fields (all 12 objects are on the main timeline) and the movieclips are named thumb1_mc, thumb2_mc, etcetc, and the text fields are named text1, text2, etcetc.I have a method:mcl_mcl.onLoadProgress = function (targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes)in which I need to change the appropriate text file's text depending on which movieclip is targetMC.The trouble is I can't find a way to distinguish which mc it is, so I can't pick which text file to change.I tried using properties but that doesnt work because everything about the movieclip gets obliterated the moment I load something into them.

I'm trying to make a game that is turn-based and allows players to first be selected, then click on a grid square to move there. However, I can't get a way for a variable storing whether the player is selected to be passed back to the actual grid class. I want the grid class to have an event listener that when the grid is clicked on, it will move the player there only if the player is selected. But whenever I try to declare a global variable either inside the grid class or even a document class or even access properties of the character class I'm trying to move I get errors.

My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

View 1 RepliesI have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

is it possible to declare function this way
