ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A String Then Use It To Reference A Variable In An External Text File
Jan 19, 2011So i have an external text file organized like this:
/* $file: data.txt */
&title0=Sacrum
&detail0=Detail text for Sacrum
&title1=L5
[Code].....
There are 28 of these 'title' and 'detail' pairs. The 'title' text is to fill a dynamic text box and the 'detail' to fill another dynamic text box depending on which section the user is mousing over.
My issue is getting the text from the file stored into arrays. For my test loop I keep getting undefined as the stored value, and i know it has something to do with converting a string value to object..
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = handleDataLoad;
lv.load('data.txt');
function handleDataLoad (success:Boolean) {

String :: Flex - Download A String Variable As A File To The Local Machine?
Sep 21, 2011I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?
Mar 7, 2012how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change String Variable To A MovieClip Variable?
Oct 10, 2008I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
ActionScript 3.0 :: String Variable In Place Of Int Variable?
Jan 2, 2012This is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.
[Code]...
Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".
To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

strVarName = "Var" + i;
var strVarName = new Array();

Jan 28, 2010I want to be able to have a number displayed on the screen that when one of the arrows next to it (up/down) is clicked it adds 1 to the original number (lets say 72). Then when they click the "save" button that really just takes them to the next frame (or a frame somewhere else in the movie), which is a confirmation page, I want the number they ended at to display on the confirmation screen.
I'm thinking that it is partially because I don't know what to search for.I know I have to create a variable and get the button to add one to that variable.

String Variable With GotoAndPlay?
Apr 8, 2009I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Variable To String Mapping?
Oct 13, 2009I'm new to flash and working to embed the flash player in a .NET application. It's going "well" for the definition of "well" that adding the COM control and getting it to play a movie was easy and took about 3 minutes.What's not going well is that I cannot find documentation on the variable to string mapping used the SetParameter variable parameter. To coordinate between the apps, I want to be able to say: "flashPlayer.SetVariable("flash_variable", "value_to_set"). Obviously SetVariable does this. What's not obvious is how "flash_variable" is constructed.
For example, in the actionscript for a button called "OneBigButton" I have the following code:
OneBigButton.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick );var testSetValue = "value";function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void { trace("got the click " + testSetValue); outputText.text = testSetValue;}
When I try this:
flashPlayer.SetVariable( "testSetValue", "foo" );
The results do not get set in testSetValue.
I'd love a pointer to the documentation on how namespaces, class instances, etc affect the string construction used in SetVariable and GetVariable as I can't find it anywhere.

loadData('search.php',"quest=name",'usr_id='+usr_id);
