ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking (data) Type Of Argument?

Mar 14, 2009

I have a function and it accepts an argument, it can be a MovieClip or an Array. How can I determine what the type is of the argument? I did an attempt, but it didn't work, my code currently looks like so:

Code:
var peopleArray:Array = new Array("Alfred", "Bob", "Casper", "David");
function myFunction (givenArray:Object) {
if (givenArray.dataType == Array) {
trace ("This is an array");
// do stuff where an array is needed
[Code] .....

ActionScript 2.0 :: Type Checking Data In Array?

Jan 15, 2006

I'm trying to do something such as:

Code:
var n:Node = openList.shift();

I know that all of the data contained inside openList is a type of Node object, but Flash returns an error. I don't know how to typecast such as placing (in another language)...

Code:
(Node) openList.shift();
...to tell Flash that the data returned will be a Node object.

Better yet, is there a way to specify, while declaring the array, the type of the data that will be placed in it?

I could just take the :Node tag out from my variable declaration, but this might be in a tutorial, so I should at least act like I believe half the stuff about proper coding I write about

May 16, 2009

I have figured out the following: Well, as you see the function moveStuff accepts three arguments, namely:

objectdurationeasingWhen easing has a default value, I get an error. But if it doesn't have a default value, then it works fine, the code would look like so then:

Actionscript 3 :: Declaring An Optional Argument Of Type Int And Testing Its Existence?

Aug 6, 2011

In ActionScript 3 you can declare optional parameters like this:function (i:int = 0, s:String = "", o:Object = null):void { }So you can check if the user passed parameters s and o because you can test against the empty string or the null object if(s && o)...But how do you allow an int to be truly optional? What if all values for i are valid, including 0, negative and positive integers? And what if you want to enforce integer (not use Number?)what's the best practice here? the (...) rest may work but then you can't enforce a certain number of parameters at runtime, nor can you make for useful code completion?

Warning: 5004: The file '/Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 3.0, could not be found. You may need to reinstall Flash.

what's particularly annoying is that playerglobal.swc file is present in that FP9 directory.� do i need to choose some arbitrary setting somewhere so Flash CS5 knows it's not 2008 and that i'm not deploying on Flash Player 9?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking Data With Database Using ASP?

Apr 22, 2011

I am a beginner using AS3. I'm trying to set up a simple Flash SWF validation of 2 text input boxes' data. In one box the user enters a username and in the second box they enter a password. This is sent to an ASP page which checks the name and password with a SQL Server database on my site. If their name and password are in the database, then the ASP send back to the SWF, "YES" and if not, "NO". The AS3 could then use an if/else: if "YES" then gotoAndPlay(2), or else display a message.The ASP script/page is completed. I've tested it with another program, and it works to check the DB and get back data.My AS3 is not working.e AS3 script to get it working.Here's the script so far. It get a trace of: [object URLRequest]. So I do not get any data back.

ActionScript Code:
stop()
nextBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextBtnClick, false, 0, true);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Checking Input Box Data For Specific Phrases?

Jan 10, 2006

I'm developing a diet checker that users enter their recipe into an input field and compares it to an external text file with a list variables of ingredients and then underlines or highlights certain ingredients that would not be good to eat.

I need to check this input box for certain words and see if there are specific words before or after those words.The word "egg" WOULD BE highlighted/underlined as a bad ingredient but "egg white" would NOT have the "egg" part highlighted The word "fried chicken" WOULD BE highlighted/underlined but "baked chicken" or "broiled chicken" would NOT be highlighted The external variable text file lists the words I'm searching for and the words to replace them with but, the code I have cannot yet determine if the word "white" is after the word "egg" and then not have the "egg" part of the phrase underlined.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Converting Data Type?

Sep 16, 2004

So I'm importing this file called tbox.txt and in that file it has a variable, num, which equals 3. Now when I run the debug window, it comes back as num = "3". So its a string. so I do num=num-0 to make it a number instead of a string. And it doesn't work so I do a trace on num and it comes back as undefined.... which is what I dont understand, how can it be "3" and undefined at the same time.

Flash :: Parsing X-amf Mime Type Data?

Nov 27, 2009

I have intercepted x-amf data being posted to a website from my computer by a flash application. I have the collected POST data in hex form. While some of it has translated directly to text, the rest is showing wierd symbols which probably means they're flash objects. How do I parse this data to get meaningful output outta it?

Basically, I need a script/program/anything that will take in amf data in the hex form, and output text and flash objects...

Actionscript 3 :: What Type Of Data Can I Send Via A NetStream?

Actionscript 3 :: What Is The Data Type From The Source Of An Image

Dec 29, 2011

I have a class with a contstructor that should only change the source of an image.

[Bindable]
[Embed(source='../pictures/test.jpg')]
private var _picture:Class;

[code]....

(the image is not an image, but a class)The problem is that when I call the constructor, let's say:

var test:Test = new Test(pictureAtStage.source);

Flashbuilder will give an error, becouse I can't tell the compiler what data type "newSource" at the constructor will have...

*edit:When i use _picture.source, the embedded source does not seem to be changed...?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Additions Of The Number Data Type?

May 1, 2008

I'm trying to get the sum of two number values in an XML file, so I'm doing this:

PHP Code:

_root.gallery_height�=�myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height;�//�'200'
_root.spacing�=�myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing;�//�'20'
_root.bar_y=�_root.gallery_height+_root.spacing;
trace(_root.bar_y);�//outputs�20020�

The answer is supposed to be 220, but it comes out at as 20020 because the interpreter treats then as strings.

I can fix the problem by casting the type using the Number() method this way:

PHP Code:

_root.gallery_height�=�myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height;�//�'200'
_root.spacing�=�myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing;�//�'20'
_root.bar_y=�Number(_root.gallery_height)+Number(_root.spacing);
trace(_root.bar_y);�//outputs�220�

This works fine, but is it *the right* way of doing it? Why is Flash treating my numbers as strings?

ActionScript :: Date Formatting (String Data Type)

Nov 16, 2010

I take a date (as a string data type) from the user. Now, I want to know if there is a a function in actionscript that will convert it to a date format. Right now, I am just parsing the string and concatenating the pieces back together. i.e.:

changeDateString = date.getFullYear().toString() + '/' + (date.getMonth()+1).toString() + '/' + date.getDate();

But for months like May, it will return "5" and not "05". I have similar problems for days like "9" or "7." Is there something in the library that will do this for me? (For the moment, I can go ahead and manually concatenate the "0" in front, but this seems like a hassle to do.)
