ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Object Name Dynamically?
Jun 27, 2010
Anyone know how to access a var name dynamically with an object? I need to be able to get myObject.objValue1. But I want to go through a whole bunch of them in a for loop from value 1 to 50.
I have stored name of a property of an object as a string. In PHP, if the object were named $object and the property variable was named $key, it could be accessed with $object->$key. How can I dynamically access properties in ActionScript?
It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I am developing an application with Flex for the GUI and Restlet for the webservices. I have a strange problem. I put my XML as a property on a generic object, and send it as part of a POST request. But in the Restlet webservice, this XML is irretrievable. How do I retrieve it? I tried initialising the received Representation object to a DomRepresentation, but thats not working. If I put the received Representation object into a Form object, then getFirstValue is returning that XML as a string! I noticed that the contentType of the HTTPService was application/www-form-encoded so I set it to application/xml and its not helping either. I use restlet 2.0m6 and here is the code snippet that I use -
I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline). Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA(); var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB(); objectA.addChild(objectB); addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?
So I have two movie clips linked with classes- one with the class "theList" and one with the class "challengeBar". I need to use a function in challengeBar to access a function in the theList. They are both immediate children of the stage.so for now I have this (in the challengeBar class)-
public function populate(){ this.textBox1.text = myList.dequeue(); }
should it be something along the lines of root.myList.dequeue? or stage.myList.dequeue? How can I access that function?
I have problem with accessing object created by function imported from another package. I have 2 packages DragDrop and UserInterface. In UserInterface I create methods for buttons and later add them in DragDrop . I make it in two different ways: One(this one works):
Can I access these attributes dynamically? I've got a number of which sound I want to play, and I want to do something like this: SndFx["s"+numberStr+"s"].play();
In one area of my application I am creating a display that builds itself with actionscript during a loop. (in my actual app there are A LOT of nested children and my function might be looking for any of those children) In that AS I assign each item an ID, but when I try to access that item by it's id it fails. What gives? and how can I accomplish finding a UI component without having to go through knowing all of it's possible parents? [code]
I'd like to be able to dynamically access objects from with in a function. In javascript I might say something like window[objectName] and assign it to a temp var or call a method from it. How can I do this in AS3?
Use case:I have a currentReport var that holds the name of the currently active report. When a new report is called I want to unload the current report then load the new one and finally set the currentReport var to the new value.
I posted something about this a couple days ago but maybe it was a little too messy to understand. Here's a simplified attempt: I have a multidimensional array like this:
[Code]...
and if I wanted to find 'triangle' from the first row I could do something like this:
ActionScript Code: trace(level[0][2]);
What I'm trying to do though, is access elements based on a variable. Here's just an example of what I'm trying to do although it doesn't work:
My movieclip clipArt_mc receives movieclips that are loaded dynamically from a listbox selection using:
[Code]....
I would like to access the nested or loaded in movieclip inside of clipArt_mc that has in it a movieclip named color_mc so that I can apply color directly to it instead of clipArt_mc.
How do I access the methods of a dynamically created movieclip/object?
For simplicity sake I didn't post code on how I dynamically created the movieclip. Instead, assume its already created. It is an object. It is called field_2. Below it is referenced by using getChildByName('field_' + field.id);
Check_box_component.as
public var testVar:String = 'test'; public function testReturn() { return 'value returned';
[Code]...
When I trace temp.testReturn, why does it show "function Function() {}" instead of "value returned"?
Given this:public namespace foo;foo var bar:String = "baz";We can access the property "bar" like so:[code]It gives me the following error: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property foo::bar not found on MyClass and there is no default value.On further inspection of the foo namespace I can see (in the debugger) that the URI is in the format {package}:{type}/{name}. If I try to replicate this by doing the following:[code]Does anyone know if it is possible to get access to namespaced members like this? I don't have compile time access to the namespace, but I can look up it's uri (and prefix) dynamically at run time.
basically, this is a menu with a scrollPane and clips inside for each line.I have to colorise the line if it is the current line.here is the code :
ActionScript Code: // this gives l1, l2, l3 ect... no pb with that var lineToColorise = 'l'+ArtAPI.GetCurrentSlide(); // here is the pb eval('container.scrollPane.content.'+lineToColorise).setColor('mycolor');
the thing is, when I write
eval('container.scrollPane.content.l10').setColor( 'mycolor') for example instead of lineToColorise it works.
So i have a problem using the dynamic value ... but why ?
I've got clips being attached using attachMovie (clips are in the library with linkage id's).
inside those clips are two functions. I'm trying to access those functions after I attach the clips, but not getting anywhere.
I assume that the methods of my attached clip (the functions) aren't available immediately, but rather after the clip actually 'loads' to the stage they are.
