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
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.
It is possible to converta string to a name?want to make a text to speech project that plays the sounds by name and i use the charAt function to split the text.[code]...
how to convert a string to an int...here's the thing when I use Number(myVar) it returns NaN. The string that I am trying to parse has a leading number followed by because I'm using loadVars and in order to make it more readable I'm trying to make a new variable on everyline....how I can do this I just need to remove the .
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".
i have a simple dynamic textbox and want to store the TotalTime-property (= seconds of the video) of my video (flvplayback component) into this textbox. how can this super-easy thing be done?
I want to convert a textbox value to numric value and i use a code like this :var n:Number = Number(myTextbox.text);when i trace the variable (n) it gives me 0. although when i trace myTextbox.text , it gives me the right value.
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);
How do I convert an integer to a string value? This must be easy. "Ya guys in SO are da best at explaining." I'm still working on these dumb counters.
NEED TO JOIN THIS TOGETHER
//My counter project "sends to dynamic text field" var timer:Timer = new Timer(10); var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0
Programming in Flex 4.5I'm getting a date as a String.I don't know what date or hour I'm getting.I want to convert the string to date and take only the hours & minutes.
