ActionScript 2.0 :: Way To Reference Functions By Number?
Jan 21, 2008
i'm working on, i've been tweaking my code and i've realized that i could simplify my code in a couple of areas if i could just assign functions numbers and have them called based off of a variable.here's an example of code which could be simplified: for my enemy AI, i have four functions and i want one of them to run, depending on the value of a variable [code]instead of doing all those checks, it'd be a lot simpler if i could number my functions (run_left would be 1, attack would be 3, etc) and replace the above code with something simple like " run function(ai_int) ".
Code: cnx.addEventListener(CNXConnection.DIGITAL, onDigital_10); function onDigital_10(e:DigitalEvent) {
[code]....
While debugging everything works properly if I'm testing that frame.But, pushing a button in another frame, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at "frame number:raw number"
I'm quite sure that the problem is that the variable e.Join changes its corresponding e.Value pushing a particular button in another frame (as must be). Any ideas how to link that information to the frame that create the error?
it's just some little white 'snowflakes' that fall from the upper end of the screen)
ActionScript Code: var timer:Timer = new Timer(30); timer.start(); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
[Code]....
Now, this of course gives a run time error (access of undefined property snowSpeedX) due to the fact that snowSpeedX is declared in the function onTimer. The reason it is declared their is because i want it to change everytime and so each snowflake that falls, moves in the x axis with a different speed. If i declared the snowSpeedX variable outside of the onTimer function, i wouldnt get a different value for every snowflake, i would just get one.
So, how do i get the snow flakes to have a varying range of speeds?
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++) { var newChoice:MainButton = new MainButton(function(){ trace(this["func" + i])} ); }
[Code]...
However, I get func3, which I assume is do to it finding the value of i. But shouldn't it pass by value since it's a number? How do I get the wanted result?
I have an array for my navigation bar (btn1, btn2, btn3 etc) where when the user clicks on a button, it goes to the correct page, and all is good. Now, I when the user clicks on a page, I want it to play a funtion where the button (movieclip) goes to frame2, and the button is disabled. How do I say 'if user clicks btn1, and is on page1, now disable btn1'. My code is below:
Im working on a multiplikation test in flash as a school project. I just wondering what the problem of this action script can be?The point with this script is that if svar1_txt equal to the number 10 that the user type in, it should give one point and number one is gonna show up in po�ng_txt.
var po�ng:Number = 10; if (parsetInt(svar1_txt) = 10){ po�ng++; po�ng_txt=String(po�ng); }
I'm working on a project where I have 10 movieclips on the stage, each with a different instance name. I'd like to use a random number generator to play each one at random, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've been looking for the topic online but all I can find is loading them randomly to the stage... my movie clips are already on the stage. I want them to stay on the stage but only play when called upon* EDIT:ere's what I have. Super simple but I'm a little lost I guess.At the moment I'm referencing a function when I should be referencing a variable but I'm still not sure how to fix it.
function randomMC(low:Number=1, high:Number=10):Number { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1+high-low)) + low;
there is a movieclip named movie with instance name movie.Inside this movie there is a textbox in frame 1.I want to give properties and methods to that textbox.
Dear Guys I Want To Generate A Random Number Between 2 Number BUT Without Generating 2 Same Number I Mean If For Example Already Generated Number "2" Next Time Did Not Generate It , Is There Any Solution
I have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.

I have a series of calculations i'm doing over a bunch of objects stored in a array. Each function is pretty CPU demanding but if you only run one function, it just works fine.
I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?
I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?
I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code: item.onRelease = function() { myButton.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://google.com", "_blank"); } talk = this.txt; } the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong. First, here's my ILode interface:
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?
My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:

Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.
Functions embedded inside other functions? In all my years of ActionScript programming, I've never seen this (this is part of legacy code written by someone else which I am adapting):
Its a complicated senario for me. I have a sound management singleton with an asset like dictionary storing all referances to my urls and assets and the guff inside it-
I have a function called addItem(id:String, url:String):Object
I would love to do something similar as soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).play() or soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).stop() of which it'll both add my item to my dictionary, and begin playing the sound
Let's I have a class Square that has a several functions. I want to call it from a class Grid, which is a group of Squares.So in the class file for Grid, how would I do this:
Code: public function doSquareFunction(thisFunction:Function):void{ square1.thisFunction();
I have a function with 4 necessary arguments (aka parameters) in order to perform the actions. I would like to have the ability to pass the same function to itself as an argument (sort of like a recursive function) along with its arguments. Basically I want to "base" to engage an onMotionFinished event handler if there is another function passed as an argument. Something like...
[Code].....
Would there be a way to use listeners to do this or the AsBroadcaster?
Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
