Im trying to create a very generic, very easy to use TextField subclass. I want it to be useable 'out of the box' without having to set any options beforehand. I also want the ability to set all kinds of options, if I choose. I'm implementing this by having a static Object, for which you can set any number of variables.

I have the movieclip:mcGrazerwith quite a few dynamic variables like this:mcGrazer.var1mcGrazer.var2etc.If I use:delete mcGrazer;it doesn't delete the variables.But if I use:delete mcGrazer.var1it deletes that individual variable.is there a way to destroy all information (variables) of a particular movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI am using a regular Flash object as a simple data container, and I want to remove a particular property of that object. Then that object gets passed on to a for..in loop. But even after using delete to remove the property, the key still shows up in the loop.
For example:
var obj:Object = { a: "a", b: "b", c: "c" }
delete obj['b'];
for ( var prop:String in obj ) {
[Code].....
So deleting the property seems to be the same as assigning its value to null.
Is there any way to immediately remove the property from the object altogether so that it is no longer looped over in a for..in loop?
It is not sufficient to check the property for a null value since a property with a null value is not the same as not having the property in the first place, and represents a different state. I don't want to set the property to null, I want to remove the property.
I have placed clips on the stage with attachMovie() via a loop when parsing XML. I want to delete these clips to place more in their spot. I have tried to just place the new ones over the old but if the new ones are fewer you end up seeing some of the old clips.

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
picture: [URL].. I am making a boardgame in flash Action Script 3 each position on the board is a buttons like this: button_1_1, button_1_2 etc. Whenever a character is selected you want to move it so the script has to add event listeners for positions around the selected unit
[Code]...
In the rest of the code I have:
function userClickedPosition(position_x:int, position_y:int) it selects or deselect a unit function selectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int):it uses the listentoButton(1) function to add 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)function deselectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int): it uses the listentoButton(0) function to delete 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)
My question: adding eventlisteners is no problem but removing them dont seem to work? What did I do wrong?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.

Why does this not work???
Code:
function myFunction(val0,val1,val2){
trace(this["val"+0);
trace(this["val"+1);
trace(this["val"+2);
}
myFunction("hello","test","hi")
All i get is undefined. If i just put "trace(val0)" i will get "Hello" -- so i cannot work out how to get the value of the dynamic variable inside hte function?
How am i to get the variables zombData.zomb0, & zombData.zomb1 from inside the "for loop"
I want this trace command dynamic
Quote: trace(zombData.zomb+i);
it works when i put zombData.zomb0 (a variable sent from a PHP script)but if i want to make it dynamic how it is; It fails & outputs NaN How do i make it dynamic for the loop?[code]...

I am trying to create dynamic variables.I read a file where I have this strings: building, restaurant and hotel.Then, will load them like
X = building.
Y = restaurant
Z = hotel.
Now I want to create variables like: building = 123; restaurant = "abc"; hotel = 2.5; So on how to use the value (building, restaurant, hotel) on naming or creating variables to use them later?
This is what i want to accomplish.This gives me syntax errors.Can you do something similar to this?
var ["Dp"+ event.target.name]:Boolean = new Boolean()

View 1 Repliesi've been trying to make stock program in flash. i searched if i could use database with as3 but i did not find any. than i created Objects in as3 and give them all their detail.
[Code]...
most annoying thing for me is as3 does not allow dynamic variables (i've searched a lot but could not find, and i dont think arrays can be used by the way). this is the whole plan. how it can be filtered (categorised)?
AS3 newbie here finally trying to make the transition from AS2. I have a little application that I am trying to build which has some basic math in it based on user input. I have the numbers stored in dynamic text boxes and now I need to have the results shown after the user hits submit.
I have this code on the results page frame.
ActionScript Code:
var resultsmin:Number = Math.round((Number(devsize.text))*(Number(typemin.text)));
var resultsmax:Number = Math.round((Number(devsize.text))*(Number(typemax.text)));
This probably wasn't even the best way to do it in AS2 but it worked, now in AS3 it doesn't. Something to do with the way var is used now?
This is what i want to accomplish.This gives me syntax errors. [url]...

I have a PHP script that dynamically passes some variables to my .swf. The variables come into the .swif named like: imageCount1, ImageCount2, imageCount3 etc. I am trying to put these into an array to work with. Heres what I have so far

The problem I'm having is when I goto .push the array it combines the strings instead of calling the imageCount variable with the correct number attached. Can anyone think of a technique to work around this or some where I can look to get an id.
How to do the: _root["file" + var] thing, I was wondering how to do a multidepth thing. I want to create a new movieclip in the location _root.scene.location called "box", and I'm using a function that I pass "_root.scene.location" under the variable location, so I could just use
_root[location].createEmtpyMovieC...
Unfortunately it doesn't work... I know I can use
_root["scene"]["location"].createEm...
But I don't need that...
How do you do something like
["button"+num].gotoAndStop(2)
eval("button"+num].gotoAndStop(2) doesn't work either?
Also how do you do _root.?

I am trying to loop through several lines of code and replace certain parts of the variables with a number in a loop. You can see what I have here:

switch (j) {
case 1 :[code]....
Is there a way I can trim this down? I have these cases through 7. It works the way I have it but it's obviously very poor coding. I know how to do it in AS2 but I just keep getting error after error in AS3.
Im looking to have something along these lines, different variables that build the path to the object so that I can have it change dynamically.I'd like to have something like:
function foo(e:MouseEvent):void {
var1.var2.var3+_button.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
