I'd like to first say that I can program in C++ but this is a little new to me. So I did an internet search for this problem and I received "the main reason you get this error" and a couple other suggestions but never does it say what the error exactly means. why one would get the Label must be a simple identifier error on this line of code?

The Quartz class is an extension to the movieClip class. It adds an image to the stage. I want to be able to write code to add 3 images (without having to do it manually) and access their x and y properties.The error on is for line 2 and says: error 1078: Label must be a simple identifier.
I'm getting the "Label must be a simple identifier" when trying to add to my arraywhy?
// var roundOne: set outside of function on main timeline

My xml file contains a tag<bla:red>.I would like to go through all the content of an xml file. Something like:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){
content.text=myXML.bla:red;}
}
But i get error that label has to be a simple identifier. In my case i can NOT change the tag name. How can i do this?
Code: Select allstop();
door.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, go_door):void;
function go_door (e:MouseEvent);

door.gotoAndPlay(door_open);

I'm trying to hyperlink in Actionscript 3.0, I thought this would would work.
goToHotmail_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK. gotoGoogle);
function gotoGoogle(e:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com")):
}
But I'm getting 'use simple identifyer' and that my closing brace is unexpected.
I designed a navigation menu that has 4 buttons. When you rollOver btn1 it goes to a nested movie clip and plays the frame label "a1" which changes its color. On rollOut it plays the "a2" which restores it to its original color. Very easy so far and common. onRelease the button is instructed to stay a a1 to indicate its on.Here is the twist. When you roll over btn1 part of the animation covers up the other buttons. Same thing is you roll on btn2 for example, it colors the buttons accordingly. So I started off by creating a variable and setting it to 0. Then I built my rollOver, rollOut, & onRelease code for each button and said if the variable is not != to whatever number then play the frame label using that logic but it has failed to fully work. The other button even though its covered up with a different color still works so it just makes a sort of glitch.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm having what's probably a very basic problem, but I keep getting this error message: Error 1079: Label must be a simple identifier. I'm trying to have AS navigate through a panorama I made in photoshop and turned into a movieclip (panorama_mc). I want it to move from end to end (registration point is in the center) without going past the end of the photo on either side. I also want to make sure that when you get to the end, you can navigate back in the other direction.

1. I make a simple movie (call it movieClip) first frame has stop(); action, second frame has label playMovie, last frame has action gotoAndPlay(2); (so that movie not stop anymore2. Now I place movieClip on stage3. Question... what is code to make movieClip play frame label playMovie?
I already try to put many different type action in frame one of stage
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("2"); //NOT WORK
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay(2); //NOT WORK

Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});
[code]....
However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
Lets say I have 5 text boxes that are named t1, t2, t3 etc. I would like to use the variable "i" in the array below as part of the identifier to populate the field is this possible to use an incrementing variable as part of the instance identifer? for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {t(i).text = i;}

What I mean to find out is what is shown in the Identifier section of the symbol properties.

View 7 RepliesIs there any way to get some UNIQUE, unchanging value from the user's computer, such as MAC address etc, via ActionScript? IP Addresses change too often, and even though MAC addresses are fakeable, at least it is a bit of protection.I can find many uses for this, including making it more difficult for people to copy over SharedObject data from computer to computer.
View 3 RepliesI have a question regarding the use of variable identifiers when using SharedObjects, I will explain. I want to have the identifiers of a SharedObject as variable names, so: I create a variable: var destinationLoc = ["destination"+mySharedObject.data.numRuns]; I write to SharedObject: mySharedObject.data.destinationLoc=destination;
Unfortunately the above script does not see the variable, destinationLoc as a variable and instead views destinationLoc as a "hard-coded" identifier Is there a way to create a variable sharedObject identifier?

I'm a beginner to Action Script and I'm going through the lessons in the Adobe Classroom in a Book. I cannot get past this one code line error:
Expecting identifier before a right paren.
Of course I'm just copying what the book is giving me to do the lesson. I have already come across a line of code that is wrong in the book, so now I'm thinking this line may be wrong as well.
I'd like to use a variable I'm pulling from XML to compleet a property like so[code]...
I could of course construct some large switch statement to account for every blending mode, but why wont this work - and how might it?
Googling and trying, I've found: Variables identifiers cant begin with numbers and can only contain letters, numbers and the _ character. I was wondering if there is a length restriction.
View 7 RepliesI have no such code in my ActionScript window.It says the error stems from tempInit, line 20.Is Flash responsible for tempInit (whatever that is)? 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before semicolon.
