ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Items Called As Functions?
Oct 26, 2009
How would I go about evaluating an array of strings as function calls?Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var my_mc:MovieClip;
var myArray:Array = new Array("function1()", "function2()", "function3()");[code]....
I get an error "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor".In this case, I'm trying to dynamically add linked movie symbols from the library. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way... ?

This probably is not possible however its worth a try! Would there be anyway to trace out the functions that are being called by the SWF? for example.[code]I know you could simply add a trace into the actual functions but thats not an option!

Is there a way to do that without using a bunch of "if" or "switch" statements, like shoving them all in an array?I have a rough idea of how it would work, but I have no idea how it would look in code.And just to clarify,I mean an order than can be changed.Otherwise I wouldn't need to think about this at all.

I have a function that I want called when different mc's are rolled over.
img_hover = function (n){
_root.icap = _root.i+(eval(n))+_caption;[code].....
The "n" is an interger (ex. 1-200) that I need passed to this function with the rollover of an mc:
on (rollOver) {
_root.img_hover.apply('1');
}
I can't get this to work. I'm not sure of the proper way to pass the n value to the function in the img_hover.apply() code.The function should produce the following (ex. with n=23):
img_hover = function (n){
_root.icap = _root.i23_caption;
_root.idate = _root.i23_date;[code]...........

Imagine I have Class A that is listening to an Event on Class B. This listener will call Method X in the Class A. Inside Method X, "this" refers to the Instance of Class B, I'm not in the context of Class A. Isn't this a bit awkward, or am I getting everything wrong? Is there a way to make the listener call my method in the context of A?

I currently have a class that has a method that creates new duplicates of a clip on the screen, changes some of their properties (such as color, and text display), and then arranges them in a straight column.Inside that method, I have some clipEvent Statements for each button.
Code:
currentButton.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 70;
expandButton(this);[code]....
Now, the two functions that are called, expandButton() and shrinkButton(), will not execute. (they are other functions built into this class.)

I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

I started making my first complex game and ran into a problem that made me just stop everything I was doing and I have laid the project to rest until I can find out how to fix it.The problem is simple. I have a timer in a public class. The timer is private, but the function to start the timer is public. Only one class calls it. But as soon as the program starts, the timer function executes.Now that aside, why are some public functions being called at the time of the program being executed? The class that executes the function isn't even called until later/instantiated.

I am working on trying to collect data within an array (which works) and this data is collected when a button is pressed or selected. I also want the ability to remove an item from the array if the button is pressed again. Currently, I have these buttons dynamically generated and everything works well. The buttons have ids applied to them. SO what I am trying to get working is, if I select button 0, 2, 3 (0 indexing), the data array created holds [A., C., D.]. I want to remove A. after I click button 0. Instead, it seems to cause problems. What I am doing wrong with splicing??? trace statement:
A. items so far selected
selected items are: 0
A.,C. items so far selected

The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?

I am attempting to place an animated "block" wherever its defined number is called in the array. However, the movieclip, instead of placing 1 mc at each instance, moves the moviclip to the last position called any graphics drawn using action script I can spawn in multiples.
ie:
ActionScript Code:
//5 symbolises a movieclip block
var newPlacement;

I have an array name region it has a couple of properties. "code", "name", "value"
I want to store this array in an indexed object called regions.
I would then like to access the object by referring to its sub property name
regions[1].code
regions[1].name
regions[1].value
I can set an array region.code, region.name and region.value but I can not set the regions values
regions[1].code = "abc"
regions[1].name ="alphabet"
regions[1].value =26
note: region is singular and regions is plural(many)
Can someone outline the variable definition and construct so I can access this information. Happy to replace the index field with the code value.

I'm trying to create an array, and this is the code I'm using:
Code:
function create_spiral(len, rad, turns, num, theArray) {
theArray = [];
var inx = len/num;
var iny = ((360*turns)*(Math.PI/180))/num;
var inz = iny;
[Code] ....
And I'm calling it with:
Code:
create_spiral(200, 10, 3, 100, points)
ideally, I would then have an array, called points, which would be full of numbers. But when I run a trace it shows as undefined.

The code below adds all the childrens of specific movie clip to the array called arrayBox. The next loop SHOULD loop through all the items inside arrayBox and check if any of those items (those items are all movie clips) is colliding with movie clip which isn't in array called avatar. If so, it should pop up the output and change some variable, but the point is that something with second loop is wrong...

I'm using an onLoad function (importing variables from a text file) and I'm creating arrays within a for loop in the onLoad function.
I'm using something like this:
Code:
this["dvdAry" + i] = this[indexAry[i]].split("##");
So say the first array is called dvdAry0 .
How can I access that Array from a function? Please note the function, the onLoad function and the arrays are all being created on the same timeline.I've tried tracing the array dvdAry0 from the function after the array is created in the onLoad function, but it comes up as undefined. Is the array created on the object that I'm using onLoad on?I'm using a loadVars Object called loadDVDsText.

I need to sort String items in an Array. Actually I need to organize children of a MOvieClip inside an Array.
I have a "menu" mc object which has 8 children with names "m1", "m2", and so on..... the last one is "m8" . They are NOT created dynamically.
the children are even organized in layers alphabetically.
i've already tried:

I have an array that contains movieclips. All of the movieclips have te type and they are all positioned on the stage next to eachother.
Above the displayed movieclips i have 3 buttons, each simbolizing a type, what i want to do is: i click on one of the buttons and all of the movieclips that dont match the right type should be removed from the stage, the remaining movieclips should then tween so that they are next to eachother again. If i click the button again then the movieclips should be displayed again to where they were and should all be positioned again next to eachother.

I'm a bit green when it comes to code and I have a specific thing I need to do which has had me going round in circles (no laughing at the back!). It must be pretty simple but I'm stumped! Basically I have 6 movieclips on the timeline with instance names 'btn1', 'btn2' etc to 'btn6'. These movieclips have an "on" and an "off" state (frame labels)
