View 1 RepliesI want to use the combobox function that MX has, but how do script it? The one that I've got from the help site is quite vague(I guess that is why I spent more time in flashkit and kirupa more than Macromedia site, even the help-forum is not that user friendly{personal commnets}), that is
function onChange(component){
if (componet._name=="check1"){
listBox1_mc.setEnabled(componet.getValue());{
else_if (componet._name=="check2"){
listBox2_mc.setEnabled(componet.getValue());}

I'm developing an AIR app that requires a menu to show only during the first run. In it the user will be able to choose the desired language for the app to run in.
I'm displaying this menu without a problem but I need it to stay visible until the "select language" comboBox is changed and then return the selected choice's data value.
how to return a value only after the combo box is changed.

View 2 RepliesI need to access the contents of a variable that is filled inside a function, but is declared outside the function.. [URL] says that if you declare the variable outside of the function the variable should be accessible even when its content is filled by a function. I have declared the imgs variable at the start, outside the function, as an array. After that the function retrieves a string from the URLLoader and splits that string into to the imgs array/variable.

I have been playing around with combining flash and PHP/Mysql for some time now, mainly sending one flash variable to a PHP file and then retrieving a result and turning it back into a different flash variable. My problem is i've got to the stage where I need to access these variables from other functions. Now I think I need to find some way of defining them outside of the function, maybe using global vars? Well i'm not gonna pretend I know anything about it. The two functions from which I access my PHP variables is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
function btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
[Code]....
So I need a way to access the phpVar1 variable in a totally seperate function

On my main timeline, i load all the image-file names, as variables.. using loadvars into thumbnails, which ive given instancenames Loader_1 to Loader_20, inside these thumbnails is the Loader component Thumb_1. Here is the code on the main timeline, to load these variables.
Code:
BigLoader._visible = false;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// load variable function

how i could make this more portable without -completely- changing the format its in [so i can still understand it]

My project is structured as following :
- a fla file with movieClips on the timeline , this fla is linked to the Main class
- a Main class who does some randomization of the animations
- a MenuItem class which function is to give each button menu the same functionnality
the problem is that I'm trying to access to the randomNumber function inside the Main class from the MenuItem class to prevent the rewriting of the function inside this class. I've made some research on Google and apparently I have to create a Singleton class so I can access the Main class from everywhere, I've followed those instructions but it still doesn't work, when I trace the Main class from the MenuItem class it gives me a Null result!Main Class code :

when i run these class i get the following error Test2.as(18): col: 10 Error: Access of undefined property testVar. this function works if i change [testVar] to a static variable , is there any other way to make this function work other than making the [testVar] variable to static?
I am creating a text scroller and am having problems with clearInterval - the text starts scrolling, but it won't stop after I try to clear it upon a button click.
1. I declare a var (uint) equal to a setInterval() call within a function (if the text exceeds the width of the textField)
2. I have a button that "turns off" the mp3 player (swf) and resets all the text fields.
3. I can't seem to access the setInterval ID var from within the click handler.
I have declared the var (uint) at the root level, then set it to setInterval() within the function. Then I tried to access it from the click handler. I thought this would work since it's global at that point, but it doesn't.
Here's a link to the page so you can see how it doesn't work [URL] (you have to click on the last link with the long client name)
Here's the code that's involved with this function (of course this is only the relevant code, but I would post the fla when done for anyone who wants to use it):
Code: Select all//::: SCROLL DISPLAY TEXT
function scrollDisplays():void
{
(trackTextField.textWidth > trackTextField.width) ?
