I need to create an array inside a movieclip, so:
var Container:MovieClip = new Movieclip;
Then how do I make an array inside of the that movieclip. I've tried
Container.mCONTENT:Array = [];
But I get "Label must be a simple identifier"
My xml file contains a tag<bla:red>.I would like to go through all the content of an xml file. Something like:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){
content.text=myXML.bla:red;}
}
But i get error that label has to be a simple identifier. In my case i can NOT change the tag name. How can i do this?
Code: Select allstop();
door.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, go_door):void;
function go_door (e:MouseEvent);

View 7 RepliesI'd like to first say that I can program in C++ but this is a little new to me. So I did an internet search for this problem and I received "the main reason you get this error" and a couple other suggestions but never does it say what the error exactly means. why one would get the Label must be a simple identifier error on this line of code?

im learning as3 and am trying to understand arrays so could an array be used in this situation i have 5 buttons which all need a ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and CLICK mouse event is it easier to put all the buttons in an array and then use the array identifier to add the even listeners? or is there another way to do this? p.s if anyone can give me a few basic usages of arrays that you use in your experience. where to use arrays too
View 5 RepliesI designed a navigation menu that has 4 buttons. When you rollOver btn1 it goes to a nested movie clip and plays the frame label "a1" which changes its color. On rollOut it plays the "a2" which restores it to its original color. Very easy so far and common. onRelease the button is instructed to stay a a1 to indicate its on.Here is the twist. When you roll over btn1 part of the animation covers up the other buttons. Same thing is you roll on btn2 for example, it colors the buttons accordingly. So I started off by creating a variable and setting it to 0. Then I built my rollOver, rollOut, & onRelease code for each button and said if the variable is not != to whatever number then play the frame label using that logic but it has failed to fully work. The other button even though its covered up with a different color still works so it just makes a sort of glitch.[code]

When i try to add label components through a array to a single frame only the last one that was added shows up. Then if i was to comment out the 2nd array of labels. the first one will show.

I have six movieclip images ( nested in the movieclip "mainInsight") in an array. I am using event.currentTarget to trigger MouseEvent.CLICK event that reacts to a parallel array. The parallel array, uses current Labels, to go to the frame labels in the main movieclip "mainInsight". It's supposed to scale up the image that is clicked, by gouing to a certain label with tween functions, and scale down the others. My current code returns this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label TheCompetition not found in scene Scene 1.

I think that arrays are probably one of the more powerful tools available in flash,
mc with instance name but0
inside mc is a text box var name label , code is
[AS]label = _name;[/AS]
mc on main timeline code in frame 1 is:
subjects = new Array("page1","page2","page4","page4","page5")
butHeight = but0._height+5;
butNumber = subjects.length[code]....
What this code does is produce 5 buttons appearing one after the other, like a cascade effect, so far so good, I then want to insert the array elements into text box label, but all I get is subject, subject1, subject2 and so on.So, what do I need to do so that my buttons are called page1, page2 and so on.
Im having a small problem with a 2d array Ive been coding for sometime now previous to actionscript Ive programmed in Java and Ive always accessed 2d array elements in the following way
Myarray[column][row]
Column before Row
X before Y
Width before Height
Im working on a project where I want to pre declare array elements something I haven't had the need to do before and Im using the following syntax to achieve this
var myarray:Array = [[0,1,0],
[1,1,1],
[0,0,0]];
Im writing it this way so that its clear how the information will be seen on screen as the 1's in the array will be converted to images the 0' denote a absence of an image.The problem Ive got is in order to access these elements I have to write Myarray[row][column] And I would much prefer to access it column first Myarray[column][row] as its what im used to and its too head banging to change over.Is there anyway to declare the array how i am doing now ie
c c c
var myarray:Array = [ r [0,1,0],
r [1,1,1],
r [0,0,0]];
And then twist the array something like this (note! not code syntax just a visual representation)
c c c
[0 [1 [0 r
1 1 1 r
0] 0] 0] r
Is there a method in as3 to achieve this or does anybody know of any short simple code to do it with
I'm an AS2 convert and struggling. I can't figure out how to get my function to see my array. I keep getting an error that "i" is an undefined property.
var thingsToShrink:Array = new Array(

b3,

I currently use some code to break down a multidimensional array into a simple string like this:
Code:
var mapStr:String;
for ( var i:int=0; i < outArr.length; i++ ) {
for ( var j:int=0; j < outArr[i].length; j++ ) {
[Code]....
I want to be able to reconstruct the array from the string output from that.
Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});
[code]....
However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
making my image gallery, but it only works as each image in the array is clicked. Now I am trying to make the gallery move automatically to the next image in the array every 5 seconds while still giving the user the ability to click on an image to view the one that they want.Here is my code so far (like i said it works great, but only as a click-able gallery):

View 7 RepliesIs there any way to get some UNIQUE, unchanging value from the user's computer, such as MAC address etc, via ActionScript? IP Addresses change too often, and even though MAC addresses are fakeable, at least it is a bit of protection.I can find many uses for this, including making it more difficult for people to copy over SharedObject data from computer to computer.
View 3 RepliesI have a question regarding the use of variable identifiers when using SharedObjects, I will explain. I want to have the identifiers of a SharedObject as variable names, so: I create a variable: var destinationLoc = ["destination"+mySharedObject.data.numRuns]; I write to SharedObject: mySharedObject.data.destinationLoc=destination;
Unfortunately the above script does not see the variable, destinationLoc as a variable and instead views destinationLoc as a "hard-coded" identifier Is there a way to create a variable sharedObject identifier?
