Let's say I have

And I need that the 6 would go in place of (i) down below.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Combining Logical Operator With Variables Defined By Radio Buttons

Aug 7, 2008

I have completely hit a wall. Here's what I'm after. I have two sets of radio buttons, each of which controls what loaded swf appears on stage. Then, depending on which button is clicked in group one and which button is clicked in group two, a third swf appears. I can access the value of each radio button, and I'm passing it into a variable (I think - the trace command works) but when I drop it all together into an if/else statement, no data is passed.

Here's the code:
//printArea is a movie clip on stage, which has dynamic mc's attached via code
var thisFront;
//function for what happens when fronts radio buttons clicked
frontListener = new Object();
frontListener.click = function(evt) {

Flex :: Access XML Object In Restlet 2.0 Thats Wrapped Inside A Representation Object?

Jan 7, 2010

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 -

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Variables Across Classes?

Aug 18, 2009

What I am trying to do is pull data from an XML file so that I can store paramaters for my FLV player (i.e. flv link, dimensions, video name, etc) I can get the data from the XML file and story it in a dictionary but I am unable to access the data from my main class. I know it has to be something pretty simple but I think i have been looking at it to long to see it.
 
// Main.as
package includes.action{    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;    import flash.display.*;    import flash.events.*;    import flash.net.URLLoader;    import flash.utils.Dictionary;    import includes.action.XMLData;        public class Main extends Sprite[code]..........
 
basically with all my traces this is what I get back...
 
// Trace dataVIDOEXML COUNT: undefinedELEMENTS: nullMAIN:LINK: nullWe are in LoadXMLname - no get: mortgagename - get: mortgage
 
 The trace for Elements and Main:Link should give me back the name of the video but as of yet its either returning NULL or undefined.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access TextFields Through Variables?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Variables Outside Of Instance?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Concatenated Variables To Access XML Value?

Jan 29, 2010

Im working on an Actionscript 3 program where i will click through a tree structure of buttons and use the values of the particular set of buttons, to access its corresponding value in an XML file.As i click each button, I start forming a string eg.

[code]
Click1 = unit1
Click2 = lesson3. etc
xmlString = "myXML."+ Click1 + "." + Click2;

Everything works perfect up to this point except that xmlString contains the incorrect value.I want xmlString to contain the particular value within that particular element in the XML but instead it only displays the concatenated path. (myXML.unit1.lesson1)is how would i be able to use that "xmlString" value to refernce the particular elements value.everything else works perfect and if i have to pass that XML path directly, "myXML.unit1.lesson1" it functions correctly, thus it must be an issue with the concatenated string not being registered as an XML path.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Variables From Within A MovieClip?

Jun 10, 2010

I have 2 MovieClips, each with code on their timelines (I don't know if this is frowned upon).One of the MovieClips moves constantly in a biased random walk, influenced by a variable in its personal code. The other MovieClip has no specific instances, because it appears on mouse click, expands, then disappears after a certain amount of time.

I would like to change the value of a variable on the timeline of the first MovieClip, so it is more likely to turn when it hits the expanding circle. (Eventually influenced by the alpha of the circle, but just any effect is fine for now). My problem is that I can not access the variable from the main timeline or the circle's timeline, and all collision actions that I try end with error 1067, because I have not imported all of the necessary MovieClips and variables.[code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Variables On Different Frames?

Feb 8, 2011

I have a movieclip that is exported for actionscript and has a class linked to it.In the actual movieclip I have two dynamic text fields ex: tf1 and tf2. tf1 is on frame 1 of the movieclip and tf2 is on frame 2.In the constructor I pass two strings as arguments ex: s1 and s2, one for tf1 and one for tf2.So in the constructor I am trying to assign these values to the textfields i.e:tf1.text = s1;tf2.text = s2;But, because tf2 is on frame 2, I cannot access it.I think I read something somewhere that all variables and objects that are on frame 1 are global. But this is not what I am working with, I need to access tf2 which is on frame 2.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access Variables From The Timeline

Mar 25, 2010

I have a class called Butterfly that extends MovieClip and exists as an asset in my Flash CS4 library.

The timeline of Butterfly consists of different wing flaps for different segments of its behavior. One of the animations is the wings opening up. Once the wings are open, dynamic text is shown on the wings of the butterfly.

Code:
//Butterfly.as
...
private var _textForWings:String = "Text For Wings";

I don't seem to have access to that variable from frame 159 inside of the clip.

What is the right process for accessing variables defined in the class by the frames inside?

Currently I'm using a getter for the _textForWings variable and using

Code:
//getter inside Butterfly.as
public function get textForWings():String

[Code]....

In this instance this works, but this things that i specify in the class are not avaiable to me within the timeline where i need them issue is really causing some headaches.
