So I've defined my variable:_global.current = 1;And below i am accessing an MC called 'carousel_holder', which has an MC named 'bar' and inside this MC is a final MC named 'bar1'.So ive tested my path and can hard code it fine, so its not a paths issue but i think my syntax is incorrect:_root.carousel_holder+".bar"+current.gotoAndPlay(" start");

PHP Code:
_root.ImageViewer.loadMovie("deneme.swf");
Now can I do this? before calling the swf named deneme. When I press a button If I attain a number to a global variable with this code
PHP Code: on (release) {_global.myVar = 5;gotoAndPlay("CloseUpAnimation");}
Can I read this variable from the swf which I load into my movie?If I can read how can I write a If Statement that will gotoAndPlay according to that variable?

I would like some help on writing a piece of code.I need to write a function that if some movie clips are in some x and y value, then gotoAndPlay('end');
Code:
function gotoEnd() {
if
(tv_mc._x = 41.8;
tv_mc._y = 157.3;)
then
gotoAndPlay('end');
}
How can I mention in the actionscript 3 that the movie clip on frame no. 10 should play after the webpage loads (or after 1 minute)? then stops? The code would be on Frame no. 1.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {

Im working on a flash menu right now and I wan to create a dynamic gotoAndPlay. but I need to insert a variable into the target path right now here is what Im doing.
Code:
MyVar="FirstMC";
_root.Nav.MyVar.gotoAndPlay("out");
and right now Flash doesn know what to do with it... I would like to make this variable global also which is nothing more than throwing the _global command before my variable right?
for (var i=1; i<=arrayCount; i++){
var temp:String = "editremove_mc";
temp += i;

Haven't touched Flash in years... trying to do something simple, but it isn't working well. Guess I'm REALLY rusty. I have a flash video with 3 button. Initially, I set a variable (frame 2)
Code:

I try to include a variable in gotoandplay(); like:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(_root.strScene, 1);
}
it gives me an error and say it must be quted, i tryed everything and im sick of it and i will breack my pc
I need to have one variable contain the name of another variable so I can write the actual value using either variable.
On my main timeline I have this code:
var globalvariable = "blank";
On a movieclip I have this code:
on (press) {
var testsend = name._root.globalvariable;
testsend = "IT WORKS!";
trace(_root.globalvariable);
}
I'd like the trace to read "IT WORKS!" but it's always "blank". The reason for this is that I have a controls options page where users can change their key binding for the various controls of a game. There is a list of the actions in the game with a field for the currently assigned keyboard shortcut. When they press that field, it's a button that pops up a keyboard graphic which has buttons on it for every key. Clicking one of those buttons should assign that keyboard equivalent to the corresponding field.
So I want to have something like this actually work:
Click the MoveFowards field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Moveforwards has a value of "Spacebar".
Click the Jump field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Jump has a value of "Spacebar".
Click the Shoot field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Shoot has a value of "Spacebar".
So I need to pass the name of the variable to the keyboard graphic so that it outputs to the correct global variable and writes its output to the correct field.
I have set the variable in my page using <param name="flashvars" value="menustate=<?php $pagename; ?>"> which works perfectly fine when I use a dynamic textbox in flash with the var name menustate.
But I need to send a MC to frame 2 if 'menustate = 2'. Anyhow, I just want to know how to control a MC with an external var. I can't use loadVars () because this var is coming from any page, not just one.
I have trouble with a script for my game project. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. This is the code I'm using:
[Code].....
Now, if the variable enemie_life drops to 0 (which I'm tracking with a dynamic text box) it just ignores frame 241 and continues with the second part of the code. There I have another problem: from my understanding (and the way I'd like it to be) it should give me a 3/1 chance to go to 126 and otherwise go to 181. The latter almost never happens. It seems more like a 100/1 chance (and I tried it often ...).
I currently have a flash video player and I want to add some code that will update a variable in an external .as or .txt file. I then want to be able to pull this variable into a different .swf when required.
My variable I want to create will be CurrentVideo and it needs to be a number e.g. _global.CurrentVideo = 2
I want to simplify my coding of the below code:
var printImage1:MovieClip = new PrintImage1();var printImage2:MovieClip = new PrintImage2();var printImage3:MovieClip = new PrintImage3();var printImage4:MovieClip = new PrintImage4();var printImage5:MovieClip = new PrintImage5();var printImage6:MovieClip = new PrintImage6();
I tried everything I could think of but it still gives me compiling errors.
When a variable reaches 0 gotoAndPlay frame 4
ActionScript Code:
//Variable Name: ammo
if(_root.ammo = 0;
_root.gotoAndPlay(4);
Doesn't work maybe?
When the value of _root.mc1._currentframe is 10 I want the value of _root.mc2._currentframe to be written (sent or changed) to a variable which I can use in mc1. So I want to be able to use this variable in different clips but I do not want it to be changed until the playhead in mc1 is in frame 10. However I do want the variable to be valid even if the playhead is not in frame 10.[code]
View 2 RepliesI would like to know what's the difference when I write a temporary variable like this (these are just examples): version1
[Code]...
What's wrong and right? Currently I write it like version 2 and I'm not sure if I should change it to version 1. I know most developers write like version 1 but I'm a little bit confused because I am totally unaware about version 1. If I use version 1 does that mean that my value is stored explicitly in a temporary variable that is cleared in every cycle?

Here we go... i know, that i have to CAST them... but how? The idea is to add (adition) two strings...
a:String = "20";

I get c=2010 and not 30 as i expected... i guess i have to cast, but how?

View 1 RepliesI have created an item renderer spark list in flex , but i want to call a function on addition of new row in list and not afterwards. I am getting a data object in rendered list in it i am getting the type of data to be displayed in list ie. either text or image. So on addition of new data in list i want a function to be called up in rendered list that checks the type of data received and then it will either create and add an image element or a text element. So the main problem is how i get a function called on addition of data. I have tried events like datachange and added but they keep on calling the function over and over again when we scroll the list but i want the function to be called once only on addition of data and not after wards. Below is the renderer list code , maybe you will get a better idea of what i am trying to do:

how can I add number to a current variable in actionscript. My variable has data coming though php(numeric data) so I want to create an if statement to say this:
If the data number(let's use 5) is equal to 5+any number then do something.
Should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out right now, how can I say "any number" with code?
ActionScript Code:
if(myVar == myVar+1){
//do something;
}
Thing is the + number is uknown... so + 1 may not work cause the number may be higher than 1.

There is more to this script, but I cut it down to this in order to focus on the error, which results in a joining aa and aaa. i.e. aa=36 aaa=4 results in a=364, where what I want would be a=40
has anyone had any problems with addition? I'm trying to get two numbers to add and instead it is concatenating them together as a string, however when I multiply, divide, or even subtract them it works fine.
