ActionScript 3.0 :: Any Way To Convert String To MovieClip?
May 24, 2010
Is there a way to convert a string to a Movieclip. so if i have an item in the library called: A and a text field on the stage with a show button. And say I typed A and clicked the submit button it would show the A mc. I get an error...
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: charUC.
ActionScript Code:
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, up)
function up (e:MouseEvent):void {
var char:String=myText.text.charAt(0)
var charUC=char.toLocaleUpperCase()
trace(charUC)
var mc:charUC = new charUC();
addChild(mc);
mc.x = currentSpot;
currentSpot = currentSpot + 100;
}

How do I join two strings into a movieclip so that it works out to string1_mc.string2_mc i.e.
var monthID = "monthCal"+newMonth
var dayID = "day"+monthArray[newMonth][e].eventDate;
trace(this[monthID]._name) // this works and traces the correct name
trace(this[monthID].calendar_mc.this[dayID]._name); // this does not work.
the dayID is in calendar_mc, which is in the monthID

I'm trying to convert an variable that contains XML data to a String. Anyone have a clue on how to achieve this?
My main problem is that the XML data is formatted nicely, but I need to store it in the database without the linebreaks and tab stops and whitespaces.
I think converting it into string would work with .toString();, but that doesn't get rid of the XML formatting...

Code:
function f_choosePhoto(photoNum)
{
var photos:Array = ["photo0","photo1","photo2"];
[Code].....
I've cobbled the AS together from a couple of seperate tutorials, and if I replace "new this[path](560, 380);" with "new photo1(560, 380);" it works.

I want to simply some repetitive code like this:
letter1.gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random()*letter1.totalFrames));letter2.gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random()*letter2.totalFrames));letter3.gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random()*letter3.totalFrames));
I want to store letter1... into a string array. so I can call all of them with a loop.

So I am trying to take an XML document, load it in, then organize the elements into an array of Objects with the elements nodes as the properties of each object.All of that I am able to do so far.What is the real problem here for me is when I try to take one of the properties and try to assign it to a dynamic Textbox's .text property.I can trace the object property, but it will not go into a textbox.[code]Also, I noticed that when the code hits the first output error, it never executes the rest of the code in the changeQuestion function; or else I would have gotten more than one output error.

I have an array of string values that represent accessors to another array. I need to be able to use those to access the secondary array, so I need to find a simple way to convert the string to the actual array accessor.[code]...
However, it seems like there should be some way to cast the string into AS, that Flash can use to access the proper array, without having to do the complex string.slice statement.
Something like: var str:String = ActionScript(arr3[i]); would be much easier to type, as many times as I'm going to need it, than the .slice statements.

Is there a way to write a UTF-16 string into a ByteArray in Flash/AS3? Basically I have a string (var test:String="allan"; for example) and I would like to write that into a ByteArray with UTF-16(LE) encoding. In this case it would be "61 00 6C 00 6C 00 61 00 6E 00".
I've tried using utf16le.writeMultiByte( clipText, "utf-16" ); but it just comes out with what appears to be UTF8 (or just straight ASCII given the test string).

I need to convert a string such as "x*y+2" (from an input text field) into an expression x*y+2, so that it can be evaluated normally, eg f=x*y+2. The variables x and y are already defined and can have various values; I need to evaluate the strings as expressions.
I have tried f=Number("x*y+2") but it seems to work only when the string is actually a number such as "1.2e-4".

how do we convert string which we get by reading a XML into date type instance value???
so there is a XML which has modifiedDate as an atribute on one node of the XML and how i do put that value into a variable of date instance??
the timeformat in the XML is: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss => 12/31/2010 23:57:46
i choose this time format because i want to use the .parse() method which still cause some error but this is for another topic..

I have a string in XML format and I want to use this string as flex XML type as following : This is my string :
<Graph>
<Node id="1" name="1" nodeColor="0x333333" nodeIcon="center" x="10" y="10" />
<Node id="2" name="2" nodeColor="0x333333" nodeIcon="center" x="10" y="10" />[code].....
I cant pass this to an API, it complains that this is string and it expects an XML type. How can i convert this string to XML with minimum effort, ie: without iterating the string and the nodes etc. Is there such method as : var data:XML = new XML(str:String);
