ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Control State Of Boolean Variable
Jan 27, 2011
have movie clips on the stage that I have addressed as buttons[code]...
For some reason when I call the select function the variable flips from false, to true and then back to false again which causes the animation im trying to play to hitch and stop 1/2 way through.
I have used the exact same script on other objects in the file but with different instance names and they ALL work fine, this is the only one I can't get working. I have tried removing all other scripts to isolate this one but it makes no difference.

i am trying to assign boolean variables to my script that i have made, basically i have never done it before so i have no idea how to add them to my script. i am controlling movieclips using alpha levels so when a key is pressed it makes a mc =100 and when the key is released it takes the alpha back down to 0. My mc work fine along with the keypresses, its just i need more control over what has already come up.
I want to use the boolean variables so that they control the mc and stop them from playing after a certain amount of times the key is pressed. here is some of my script:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(65)) {
trace("It's an A");

I have only set up an event listener Mouse Input and Keyboard input. How do I set up an event listener for a Boolean's state? I change the Boolean state in other classes using:
main(parent).meVariable == true;
So, how do I set up an event listener in main to jump to a function if that turns to true? something like...
ActionScript Code:
if (myVariable == true){
myFunction();
}

having an issue with a variable set. It is set as a string to default "no" on the very first frame of my movie, as follows:
var myaccess:String;
myaccess="no";
Within my movie, there is an object. When this object is pressed, it is to change the _root.myaccess="yes"; I am tracing the variable within the movie clip and it shows me: I do not understand why it is changing my string definitition from "no" to false. Because of this, my variable does not seem to change to "yes' on object (button) pressed.

I'm sure it's possible I'm just writing it wrong. Can anybody clue me in the correct way of writing it? I get compiler errors this way...
ActionScript Code:
for(b=0; b<=15; b++)
{
var ["ping" + b]:Boolean = false;
}

I have a boolean variable, projectsLoaded that is set to false when my application loads. As i'm sure you can imagine, when the final project module loads, I set the variable to be true. Is there a way I can trigger a series of functions to run once that variable is set to true?

Instead of this code:
var bomb1:Boolean = false;
var bomb2:Boolean = false;
var bomb3:Boolean = false;
Would it be possible to use an array like this? var bomb:Array = [false,false,false]; Or would it be better in another way? Isn't it necessary to declare the variable/array to be boolean or number if it would be that type in the index? Could I also use an array for the movieclips like bomb[0].visible = true; ? But how di I declare that array?

I am trying to switch a boolean variable to true after a mouse click on a movieclip.
I want an animation to continue after the user has clicked both btn1 and btn2.
After researching this topic it appears that changing a variable inside a function will only effect code within that function and not the code outside of it - therefore my main Btn1Var and Btn2Var do not update to flase.
ActionScript Code:
stop()
var btn1Var:Boolean = false;
var btn2Var:Boolean = false;
[Code].....
Is there an easy way to change the original variable for each button to true after being clicked?

I have a flash menu.It has 8 buttons on the stage.Each button has a up state and over state.To show the user how this menu works i want to simulate a mouse over on each button, from button 1 through to button 8. With perhaps a few seconds delay between each mouse over. I found some action script that advances the frame after a specified time but it doesn't actually trigger the mouse over state.

Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?

I've hit a very strange issue in adobe flex and I'm not sure how to solve it. I have a popup box that is called on creationComplete before startup of my main application. The popup simply asks for an email address and then the application is enabled showing the email address in a label component.
However, when I try to access the email address from the label component called UserID.text in the application, it is always null even though it is visually present in the label box...It seems like it loses state somehow...so HOW in earth can I keep it from losing state? I need to access the label or some variable throughout the use of the application and everything I try always ends up in a null variable?The main part of the application that sets the label is here:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:controls="com.iwobanas.controls.*" xmlns:local="*" creationComplete="showWindow(true)">
private function showWindow(modal:Boolean):void

Im currently programming a game and having the character animation respond to the spacebar to play a jump animation.
To cut the code down here is the bit that's the problem:
ActionScript Code:
var space:Boolean = false;
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE && space == false)
[Code]....
The script works great, apart from when the animation is over, the variable 'space' is set to true, but I need it to go back to false after the function has been applied.

Basically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)

It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.

I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?

I'm using Flex 4.5 and trying to take advantage of the new state groups feature. I have two States (call them readType1 and readType2) that both belong to the same stateGroup (call it readOnly). There are several places where I'd like to do something based on the current state, and it would be the same thing for the two read states. [code]...

I want to fade all the elements of the next state when transitioning from any state.I tried different things but I can't get it to work. And I don't want to manually add transitions for every state.
Something like:
<s:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">
<s:Fade target="*" duration="500" />
</s:Transition>

In my view I have a welcome screen:

Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:

Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?

I have several MCs, each one with a different _name.
when a Mc is clicked a variable is defined to it. Like:
Code:
on (press){
_root.clicked = this._name;
}
Also have a function on the main timeline that will reduz the MCs scale, but not all the other MCs. How can I make the function call the Mc according to it�s variable? (just scale the MC with the variable clicked == this._name.)

I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?
