ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables Calling Variables?

Aug 4, 2005

dynamic text box and what is loaded into it. the function for my buttons defines a new variable "newChoice" and sets its value to the "this.varTitle". It then tells the movie clip containing the text box gotoAndPlay (2). At that point the text box should update to the value of "newChoice" but it doesnt work.if i tell it to update something absolute, like a string, it works, but i think there is a problem with the layers of variables i'm using.

main function:
playDots = function () {[code]......

AS3 :: CS3 - Calling Variables From Other Functions

Aug 20, 2009

If I have a function and I want to call a variable from another function (only 1variable), how do I do it? I know in the olden days you could set the variable to local or global, but that does not seem to work anymore. There is only 1 variable I need access to, but all the tutorials I have come across talk about making classes for multiple variables.

e.g. function2();
{
variable_b = variable_a;
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Movieclips Using Variables?

Apr 18, 2010

I have a series of movieclips stored in the .fla library

Clip1 (class: clip1)
Clip2 (class: clip2)
Clip3 (class: clip3)
Clip4 (class: clip4)
Clip5 (class: clip5)

I want to be able to add each clip to the stage using a function where the number is a variable that can be added to the "Add movieclip" statement.

For example:

var x:Number = 1;
var "Clip" + x:"clip"+x = new "clip" + x();

so that the program inteprets the above as:

var Clip1:clip1 = new clip1();
addChild(Clip1);

This was the only way I could think of adding a movieclip to a stage. I am open to any other option. I hope this was clear. I don't have any code to post because I'm just trying to work through the logic of the program. Adding movieclips to the stage when the name of the movieclip has a variable in it, is the part I am stuck on.

Php :: Flash - Calling Script With UTF-8 POST Variables?

Jun 8, 2010

AS3 documentation says that Strings in AS3 are in UTF-16 format.There is a textbox on a Flash Clip where user can type some data.When a button is clicked, I want this data to be sent to a php script.I have everything set up, but it seems that the PHP script gets the data in UTF-16 format. The data in the database (which is utf-8) shows some unrecognizable characters (where special characters are used), meaning that the data has not been sent in a correct encoding.

var variables:URLVariables=new URLVariables;
var varSend:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://website.com/systematic/accept.php");
varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling An Instance's Variables Directly?

Jul 21, 2009

I have two classes a main and one controlling a cloud graphic going on the stage. In the main class I am creating an instance of the cloud, adding it to the stage with an array and with a for loop I am setting the x speed (vx). I have noticed that if I set the vx in the cloud class and reference it directly then it does not work (clouds are drawn for a millisecond then a blank movie). I have to initialize the cloud.vx value in the main class to get it to work. Why can I not just pull the vx value from the cloud class without setting it to a value in the main class?

Main class

Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function And Passing Parameters Via Variables

Feb 12, 2010

I've got an XML file that is loading in data and is calling functions.
 
how to call the methods from classes with variables set from the XML file:
 
var functionToCall:String = xml.functions.func[0].to_fire.toString();
myClass[functionToCall]();
 
This calls the function perfectly.
 
I was wondering if there is anyway to pass parameters into the function as well through variables.  Some functions may have no parameters, some functions could have 5... so the xml could be like this:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Loader's Data Dynamically Using Variables?

Oct 25, 2011

ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining Variables - Unique To Load SWFs Instead Of Declaring All The Variables

Mar 21, 2012

I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.

Actionscript 3 :: Changes To Array Of String Variables Doesn't Update The Variables Themselves

Jul 30, 2010

I have a list of strings that I add to an array, then attempt to set those values in a for-loop using data that I read in. The array gets updated, but the values the array contains do not. I also have an array of buttons that I update this same way that works great, but strings don't seem to work the same way. I have tried moving the string array to give it full scope, and still nothing...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Data From Different Variables - The New Variables Come Back As Undefined?

Jun 15, 2010

I'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....

For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.

And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Variables, Variables Not Working Correctly?

Jul 11, 2011

There is a bird, and you control its upwards movement with a key. It has thrust, gravity, it works fine. The problem is I have a bunch of icicles that come at the bird that he is supposed to avoid. I tried this first with math random to use as an x coordinate and than move across the screen, but the icicles had the same x-coordinates sometimes. I tried does not equal(!=) but that doesn't work. I made an array and each number that came out of the array I assigned a different variable. This works fine. I put this variable into the x-coordinate such as mc.x=((n)*60)+480. I did this for five different icicles. All their differnt variables have a different value, and I put them into the same function for each individual video clip, but they still don't go to the right coordinate. Here is the test code just for the initial coordinate of each icicle before it moves...////////////////////////////Quote:

var temp:Array = new Array()
for (var i:int=0;i<8;i++) {
temp.push(i);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables Into Javascript Variables

Jun 30, 2009

I am making a simple math quiz game that generates two numbers randomly and then the user has a keypad to enter the answer. I trace not only the real answer to each question but also what the user punches in and I even have it so that it checks to make sure the user's answer is correct.

What I need now is to find a way to export that data into an html page. I think I can do so with php, but I really need it to go into javascript. Does anyone know how I can send this data, either in a string or as integers to Javascript? I believe that the integers would be best.

Variables :: Initialization - "proper" Place To Initialize Class Variables?

Is it "better" to initialize AS3 class variables in the class constructor? Or can I just initialize them to their default value when I declare them at the top of my class? I ask because when there's a lot of class variables, it appears inefficient to declare them in one place and then initialize them in another when I could easily do both in the same place. It one option is better than the other,
