ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Value To Variable From Within MovieClip
Dec 24, 2010
Using AS 3.0 I have declared a variable on the main timeline
var thescore:int=0;
From within a movieclip I now want to increase the value of that variable and display it in a text box.
var thescore:int=thescore+10;
Object(root).myscore.text=thescore.toString();
The above code only displays ten and doesn't increase when the movieclip loops.
If I change the code to
thescore=thescore+10;
Object(root).myscore.text=thescore.toString();
I receive an error undefined property.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

I have a variable i that I'm setting to 5. i = 5. Simple enough, I have a dynamic box on the screen so I know that's working.
On the same screen, I have a button, that when you click it, it should do the function i = i + 1. I know this isn't working because when I click it, the number on the screen doesn't change.
Also I have a second button that is a collection of if/else if statements. Basically, if i=1, goto 10, else if i<1, goto 40, else if i>1, goto 40. I know that since I'm setting the initial value of i to 5, it's impossible for i to be equal to 1. Yet every time I click this button, I goto 10 even though i doesn't equal to 1.

I want to declare a variable on the main timeline that can be called from anywhere in my movie. So, _global var should be the right approach. I want to declare a movie clip 'MC1' "open", or "closed" so that when it is revisited, my flash file knows the user has been there before and performs a different task from the one it does when 'MC1' was first encountered. So, i need a 'if' statement to run from the variable, when the playhead encounters the movieClip.

im using PHP with MySQL to send information to my flash file using GETs.Using FlashVars i have managed to get the users 'id' with this i can send my questions/searches to a PHP script which access the database and returns the information to the html page.What i would like to do now is add the information sent back to the html page to a variable inside flash for example:
var usr_name = get_user_name(id) || 'Unknown'; // "Unknown" should just be for offline use.
but this just returns 'Unknown' this is the function used:
public function get_user_name(usr_id){
loadData('search.php',"quest=name",'usr_id='+usr_id);
}[code]......
If i just type the URL into a web browser i get the name outputed.

I have a scrollpane in my library.Inside a movieclip, I create an image gallery and add it to the scrollpane.I do this in this function.[code]Now everything works fine, and no problems occur.I do however get the runtime error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::ScrollPane/endDrag()It doesnt seem to affect my file, but I am sure it would be better to try and get rid of it.I think it has something to do with adding my movieclip to the main movieclip, and maybe.I am not removing it when I add a different movieclip.Whenever I add a movieclip to the main one, I use container_mc.addChild(...);Does addChild check to see if a movieclip already exist, and remove it if it does? Or do I need to remove my clips beforehand?

I have a MovieClip called chipmovie which I have exported to a class method called ChipMovie, when I try and add it to another movieclip, for some reason it doesn't display.
I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:
init y = -151 height is 0
for all the ChipMovie objects I try to add.

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).

Basically, I have an input box on a widget that sends information via PHP.
One of the input boxes is phone number. Everyone inputs number as normal, but without the country code.
Is there a way of me taking their normal number from the input box, removing the '0' and adding the country code before sending it (i.e. within a calculation/function/formula).

I have the following working line:
moveMC.y = twn.bounceBall01.y
It successfully gets the y value of bounceBall within the MC twn, and applies it to the y value of moveMC. How do I replace the 01 in bounceBall with the following global variable: globals.data.clk? I've tried using a way that Ned successfully showed me for a different situation, plus tried some other permutations, but Flash says "no way dude".

The Code bellow is a simplified version of what I am trying to do. My actual code involves copying an item from one array to another (which I am able to do). Then displaying the contents of both arrays on the stage.
//blueCircle is a library object with proper linkage set up.
var ball = new blueCircle();
ball.x=100;[code]....
When I run this code only 1 ball appears on the stage at (200,200).Is there another way to assign one value to another so that it will be duplicated rather then just adding a pointer to the original variable? if not is there a way to copy the instance of ball and add it to them memory location of another ball?I know that I could call:
var anotherBall= new blueCircle();
but this won't work for the application I am writing because the contents of the array I am trying to copy from are all different types of objects.

So basically I've got a MovieClip called Jug and when the egg is clicked and dragged to the Jug I want it to disappear and then re-add itself in the place it first started. Aswell as this I want a variable to be added by 1 in value. I have tried fiddling around with this for a while now and I can't figure it out since when I remove child it gets errors. Here's the code:

I want a variable I have in the document class called 'minute' to basically display its value in the text field on my stage.
This is what I have in my document class, obviously the text part is wrong can anyone point me in the right direction?
var minute:int = new int (60);
this.countdown.text = "";
I also have a textInput box on my stage with an instance name of countdown.

I've been trying to add quotation marks to a variable for the past hour or so, but I haven't been having much luck. Basically, here is what I am hoping to create:
Code:
blarg = W71;
temp = magic code that I can't figure out
trace(temp); // displays "W71"
I stumbled on a previous case of this [URL], but that method didn't work for variables when I tried it. Adding a + symbol before and after blarg gave me an error.simple way to incorporate quotation marks around my variable?

I working on a flashbanner. It is a dynamic textfield called "regnr" where the user is supposed to add a registration number (of their car) before clicking the send button. This code is on the button:
Code:
on(release){
//getURL("[URL]"+regnr.text);
getURL(_root.clickTag+regnr.text,"_blank");
}}
It works when the domain is hardcoded but doesn't work when I am using the clickTag. Is it possible to add variables like this to a clickTag? How could this be done to actually work?

On my stage I have 5 items labeled item1_mc, item2_mc, item3_mc and so forth...they all have two keyframes on their respective timelines, one labeled "active" and the other "inactive". My code contains 2 arrays, inactiveArray and activeArray and a variable known as energy that regularly goes to and from 0 - 100.What I am looking to achieve is basically the function of...if energy >= "insert given items 'active threshold' 20, 40, 60, etc..." then add it to the activeArray, if it is not, remove it and add it to the inactive array.
all objects in activeArray gotoAndStop("active");
all objects in inactiveArray gotoAndStop("inactive");
I have tried many different ways of achieving this effect but I always end up with duplicates and extras or something doesn't move when it's supposed to, where it's supposed to, it just ends up into a giant cluttered mess and I start from scratch.

The portal in my game is suppose to be unlocked after you collect all the coins. The portal is locked but when I go over a coin it neither adds to the variable or removes the movie clip by instance name of coin1 coin2 and coin 3.also if the remove movie clip doesnt need _root I've already tried it without it I know that is not the problem.
var openportal = 0;
function moveStuff() {

I have a client who wants to add something to a flash presentation that is almost done. There is a root swf that is pulling in a nav screen swf, which in turn is pulling in the text screen swf of that corresponding nav swf. So at the start, the root swf automatically loads nav1.swf, and nav1.swf automatically loads text1.swf. Once that plays, the next button loads nav2.swf into the root swf, and in turn, nav2.swf automatically loads text2.swf onto it. I hope that makes sense. So all the text is going to be on the screen with pix, etc, and we are going to have a VO speak the text. The VO will be on the text swf files since there is fading of pix, text, etc and we need it to match. With it almost done, the client wants a mute button added to the thing.
The question is, if the mute button is on every text swf file, is there some variable that I can pass that would keep the next text swf file from playing it's VO? The client doesn't want people to have to keep clicking the mute button with every page. I know, I know, if I knew they wanted a mute button, I never would have built it this way. It's going on the web, and I figured for loading purposes, this was the best way. Now I think Im screwed... Or rather, they are. They approved this. But can it be done? Can I pass a variable from either the root swf or the navs swf files that tells the incoming text swf files to stay muted?

Is it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.
