ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting String To Integer?

May 29, 2010

I'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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Converting String With Formatting To Integer?

Jan 27, 2009

I'm currently trying to convert a string that I get from a text box to an integer. Seems simple enough, but the string's got a pile of formatting on it.

This is the string (named answer):

Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Snap ITC" SIZE="20" COLOR="#FF0000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">80</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>

As you can see, I want the 80 from that.

After a lot of tinkering around, I used the following to get the number out:

Code:
trace(parseInt(_root.answer.substring(120)));

Reason I used this is because I knew that the formatting would stay the same so I can slice off the same amount each time.

What I'm wondering is, is there a more elegant method of getting the entry that I want out of that mess of formatting? If not, then is there a way I can minimize the formatting?

Note: I'm using Adobe Flash CS4, with ActionScript 2.0.

Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?

Flash :: Call String Or Integer From Another Function?

Oct 16, 2011

I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.

[Code]...

But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting XML To String?

I'm processing this code inorder to automatically add to the front or end of a line found in an xml file titled textXML.
 
Here is the processing code:
 
[Code]....

This traces the correct line of code from textXML, but the shows  up in the text and doesn't add the carriage returns.  The crazy thing  is, it works if I replace textAddition with "

".  I figure this is  happening because of some weird formatting issue.  So I've tried many  ways of formatting the textAddition var to a string.  Each time has had  no effect.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting A String To An Instance Name?

Jun 8, 2009

Code:
//declare variables and create arrays
var initx=80;
var inity=80;


[Code]......

Alright, what I am trying to do here is get 15 buttons arranged on the stage in a random order. The buttons are all named "butt1" "butt2" etc. First step, getting the numbers 1-15 in a random order in an array (successful). Then I concatenate "butt" before the number so the array contains the button names.

However, when I try to place them I get the following message:

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property x on String.
at numbersgame_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Flash is interpreting my array values as strings rather than the buttons they are supposed to be, and failing as a result. How can I fix this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting A String Name Into A MovieClip?

Sep 9, 2010

I had an old AS2 trick that I named "menuStatus" that I would use to for a file where I had several buttons. Each button would have it's over state, off state, and "current" state. When the button is in it's "current" state, it moves to a 3rd frame in the respective button (for this example - a basic color shift). I'll also eventually remove the listener when it is in this state. But first things first: I can grab a button's name using the "event.target.name" and assign it to a variable. But when I try to tell that variable to gotoAndStop(3), I get an error:[I]1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type String.

ActionScript Code:
stop();
var current:String = new String();
var myBtns:Array = [one_btn, two_btn, three_btn, four_btn, five_btn];

ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Code To A String?

Jul 8, 2009

Since Action Script is an interpreted language, and it is clear by decompiling animations that the code is still in there, is there any function that lists the code of a function or class as a string?asically, I want to create a suite of components for developers that lets them make modifications to or at least view the code behind a component while the animation is running, and that way make it easier to find bugs, instead of having to stop the animation, dig up the code for that class, and recompile it. It would be even handier if it was possible to edit code while the code was running, so the next time Flash encounters that code, it will instead run the new code. Yes, if used unwisely, that could cause a lot of problems, but the benefit outweighs the risk, and that feature is used in such development environments such as Visual Studio.

Likely, the only solution to that would be to give each class a "code" variable, likely a String. Then when the users click the button to view that certain source, it checks for the "code" variable and displays the contents. The problem is that you have to remember to update the variable each and every time Perhaps I can write an extension for FlashDevelop that does that automatically? It could just update that variable at compile time.
