I have 40 movieclips, with the instance names p[1-40] (for example, p14 or p32). I want them all to do something in order, so I'm using a 'for' loop. In simplified psuedo-code, it looks like:
for 40 {
variable = variable + 1
p[variable]

How do I convert an integer to a string value? This must be easy. "Ya guys in SO are da best at explaining." I'm still working on these dumb counters.
NEED TO JOIN THIS TOGETHER
//My counter project "sends to dynamic text field"
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0

some lights on how to convert ByteArray into int?
View 3 RepliesI've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.
how do I convert a text string from an external txt-file to a integer s� I can use the number
(external file: var1=20)
(flash: loadVariablesNum("datafile.txt",0); ...it works but the var1=20 is a text string :-(
I need to convert an integer value to hex to use with the setRGB thingy. (I want a slide bar that controls the colour of a movie clip) I know that you can use parseInt to get an integer from a hex value but how do you do the opposite?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"
var res:Number = new Number(str);
But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?
I want to have a dynamic integer reference.
For instance
ActionScript Code:
var heart:int = 5;
var stalker:int = heart;
[Code].....
Obviously stalker traces as "5" while "heart" is "7". However, I need to make stalker a pointer reference to heart.
when I try to type cast something, there r 2 ways to do it:if var integer holds a integer (Uint)
text_txt.text = integer as String;or text_txt.text = String( integer );
but sometimes when I want to pass a value to a function both ways don't work and only one way works, when should I use option 1 and 2???
I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?
I'm slowly climbing the AS3 learning curve, I had a query about converting data stored in an Array:
My flash file contains six movieClips arranged into a grid, each movieClip is named with an instance name, increasing sequentially like so:grid1, grid2, grid3 ... etc
What I'm trying to achieve is to have one of the grid items randomly selected to play a contained animation every 2 seconds.[code]...
i have several button that should navigate to frames in my movie. the button have the same name as the frame's labels i need to convert the buttons' instance names to strings
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
this.Label1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN ,gotoLabel);
function gotoLabel(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop('label1AsString');
}
I have a Flash poetry project in which I have 49 separate dynamic text boxes on stage. Each has a separate instance name - "cell_1", "cell_2", "cell_3" etc. I use the following code to store instance names in an array -
var j:int;
for (j = 1; j < 50; j++) {
instances.push("cell_"+j)
[code].....
Is there a simple way to convert an instance variable to a String?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to turn an string into an instance name.
stage.focus = ["box_"+[i+1]];
this gives me back = box_2;
but I need it to be an object not a string.
In as2 I could use eval. How do I do it in as3?
so here's my problem. I've got an array (wall_inst[]) containing instance names of 3 objects (for now), however they are stored as text strings. I've got a moving 'ball' object too. The problem is, the values contained in the array are text strings and will not behave as instance names, when I try to get object properties off them etc. Eg, I can do this:
[Code]...
var txtI:TextField=new TextField();
txtI.text="Germany";
txtI.gotoAndPlay(2); // so this should mean Germany.gotoAndPlay(2)
how can I convert String to Array(Instance Name)?The code below works fine.
Code:
var gridArray:Array = new Array(sq1_btn,sq2_btn);
gridArray[0].visible=false;
[code].....
I have multiple buttons, I would like, when the user presses a button, the name of that button is displayed as text on another frame.[code]
View 14 RepliesDoes creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?
View 1 RepliesThis is just a simple problem, i have two integers (for example)
var myInt:int = 3357;
var myOtherInt:int = 10;
Then i ask flash to trace myInt divided by myOtherInt
trace(myInt / myOtherInt);
And in the output menu i get 335.7 as the traced number and i need to get an integer which would be 335.
I'm working on a game were your health variable will add 1 hp automatically every second if the health variable is not equal to 100. How would you do that?
View 1 RepliesSomehow I cannot get the value of an integer inside a for-loop.
I define the vars like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class Fig2 {
private var a1_m1:int;
[Code].....
This gives me a: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type int."
Is there a simple way to test whether an integer is odd or even withing a conditional statement? Example:
ActionScript Code:
if (integer /*insert code that checks for odd or even*/){
/*execute whatever*/
};
I've just seen a statement like this.
Code:
if (_root.map._width>"3000") {
_root.map.larger = 0;
}
Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?
I try to increment each 2 hours but I don't know how to proceed.
View 2 RepliesI'm having some trouble converting a string to an integer. Here is my code:
var str:String = e.currentTarget.name as String; // Getting values like "song1", "song2"
str = str.replace("song", ""); // Changes it from "song1" or "song2" to "1" or "2"
var num:int = str as int; // SHOULD be converting the "1" to 1 and "2" to 2
trace("num:" + num + ", str:" + str);
The trace is always outputting:
num:0, str:1
num:0, str:2
etc..
The str value is there, but when it gets put into num then it zeros out.
I was trying to display a number: 2893604342.00. But, when i am displaying it it is displayed as: -2893604342.
Following is the code snippet ...
avg += int(totalData[i][col.dataField]);
I have even replaced it with Number, but it's still showing the same negative number.
How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from.
myThoughts
- It needs to read XML "parse it etc"
- variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing values and function calls"
XML
//XML
<head>
<seq_no>text</seq_no>

How do I extract the numbers out of a string like this[code]...
Everything but the currency symbol. Or from something like this:
