ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function And Passing Parameters Via Variables
Feb 12, 2010
I've got an XML file that is loading in data and is calling functions.
how to call the methods from classes with variables set from the XML file:
var functionToCall:String = xml.functions.func[0].to_fire.toString();
myClass[functionToCall]();
This calls the function perfectly.
I was wondering if there is anyway to pass parameters into the function as well through variables. Some functions may have no parameters, some functions could have 5... so the xml could be like this:

I have a function gameTimerInterval() set to run every half second. Every x of those intervals (the value of x varies in this situation), it creates another interval that calls the function birdTimerInterval() every y of these new intervals. Basically, gameTimerInterval() determines when a new flock of birds will enter, and then birdTimerInterval() controls how each individual bird in the flock comes in (one at a time). The thing is, there can be multiple flocks coming on the stage at the same time, so birdTimerInterval() will need to receive a parameter so it knows which group of birds to control. The only way I could see achieving this is doing something like dynamically passing the name of the interval that's calling the function, as I don't know how I could use global variables or arrays to distinguish which flock should be moving.

Code:
function enableButtons():void
{
for (var i:uint=0; i<40; i++)
[Code]...
I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.
However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:
Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));
Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Look at the simple code below:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,traceMe);
function traceMe(evt:MouseEvent)
{
trace ("hello world!");
}
What if I want to pass a parameter to the traceMe function? There is a way to do that?

hboxvar.addEventListener("mouseDown",dosomething(1 2342));
public function dosomething( somenumber:Number ):void {
//do something here
}
I try to do above function but I need to pass variable from hboxvar but not from inside function suggested by macromedia.
any one frustated with this way of passing multiple parameter which depends on what to pass in flex 2 using addEventListener ?

Passing additional parameters to function listeners You can pass additional parameters to function listeners depending on how you add the listeners. If you add a listener with the addEventListener() method, you cannot pass any additional parameters to the listener function, and that listener function can only declare a single argument, the Event object (or one of its subclasses).

I am wanted to know how can i pass a parameter to the function which I'm calling using Delegate class. I know to pass params having static values such as true / false or a static string "hello".
Code:
var myFunc:Function = btn.onRelease = Delegate.create(tihs, releaseHandler);
myFunc.str = "hello";
function releaseHandler()
[code]....
Here str can be retrieved as 'arguments.caller.str' inside the function.But in case i want to pass the reference of the 'btn' button. Then how can i do this ?

I have an FLVPlayback component with several ActionScript cue points designated along its timeline. I've written a listener that successfully executes a function whenever the video reaches one of my cue points. However, I'd like it to do different things depending on which of the cue points it has reached.
Here is my code:
Code:
// these are the cue points that I'm adding to my video
_root.thevid.addASCuePoint(33, "show1");
_root.thevid.addASCuePoint(43, "hide1");
[Code]....
Essentially, I would like for the function to accept a String name from the cue point, and then decide which action to take (either showing or hiding something). I don't know the correct syntax for accepting information from the cue point. Should I pass the cue point into the function as an object, then parse its name from within the function?

I have benn programming in AS2 for a while, but I'm moving to AS3, and I'm having some trouble with syntax and mostly with management of parameters and variables (actually I tried to work with functions in packages without good results T.T). The game has four different types of shooters, and all of them use the same bullet (shoot function). I have succeeded on disappearing the target (a coin in this case) when it is hit by the bullet, but the problem is that I can't quite find the way to dissapear the bullet properly. I keep receiving this message:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I'm making a function, and I want to pass it's handling less restrictively, kinda like jQuery I guess.
Code:
function cfunc(min, max)
{
return (Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min))+min);

Now I know that alternately, I could pass them individually to the function and then join them all together as one, but I'd prefer to use one variable and pass the data through it, kinda like a scripting engine.

Hello, I'm trying to minimize code, so I am trying to use functions, and need to pass some strings through them in order for it to work.I believe I may be doing this incorrectly, so could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? On one of my movieclips:
[code]...
What that previous code should do is loop through all movieclips in the game and if it's not named player, move it in accordance to what "Direction" is.If the player is pressing the arrow down key, it will change "Direction" to "DOWN" and hopefully pass it.

I need to dynamically pass 2 parameter to an swf movie to make it work properly, they are a number and a boolean. To do this I've changed the html page which contains the movie to php, I pass to the page the parameters' values through GET. The values are correctly passed to the page, I've tried to print them.
I build the call to the swf in this way collpreloader.swf?connid=<?php echo $_GET['connid'] ?>&animazione=<?php echo $_GET['animazione'] ?>
collpreloader.swf correctly reads the connid parameter, but animazione results always true.

The published html is below, and my question is how to call the SWF from Actionscript 2 rather than HTML? I believe I can figure out the rest of the mechanics to a recent education .

So I have an MC that has 6 labels and 6 buttons all with different names. When you click on a button, it needs to direct you to it's appropriate frame label in the MC. Now, since AS 3.0 has done away with inline functions, how the heck do I code it so I don't have a function with a bunch of if statements inside of it in addition to all of my eventListeners that I have to add to each of my buttons? In AS 2.0, I would have done it like so:
Code:
function movePlayhead(whichOne:String):Void{
this.gotoAndStop(whichOne);
} button1_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label1");
};
button2_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label2");
};
Etc...
With AS 3.0, you have to add eventListeners to each of your buttons where each eventListener calls a function, but how can I write it so I don't have to write a bunch of if statements inside the function the eventListeners are calling in order to test for which button is being clicked? Like so:
Code:
button1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
function movePlayHead(event:MouseEvent):void {

I created code based on a site I found that puts the XML into CSV's, here is the code:
var myXML:XML = new XML(); // instance of XML Obj.
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load(config.xml)
[Code].....
So after all of that, my question is, if that one tag XML file that I gave an example for has 100 or so lines, is there a way to call it without having to know the line it is on so you don't need to put the array value in all of the time?
