If I have a FLA compiled as say "myfile.swf", how do I output in a trace the name "myfile.swf"i.e var rootname:String = thisIsTheThingIWantToFind;I am trying to display to a user the embed code for a widget and need to put in the string the name of the widget.I could hard code the name in (as I am currently doing) but I want to make it dynamic for when I change the filename.
View 1 RepliesI'm familiar with AS2 and just now beginning AS3. I have a main or root SWF that will call other SWFs. In the past I would put them on levels but now I know with AS3 that isn't so. I will only load one swf at a time. Each will replace the other. I'm using addChild and it seems to work.I really want the Stage SWF to check inside the added child SWF for a String. What is the correct syntax for that in AS3. I have done many attempts but nothing. The last trace I ran was:trace(MovieClip(clipLoader.content)); and that gave me [object MainTimeline]. FYI - The string is "BtnName".[code]
View 1 RepliesBasically I'm trying to output the contents of an XML document into a dynamic text field (as loaded - not just its node values and content - the entire thing - into a variable called _root.log). The text field is set to show the variable value of _root.log.This is the actionscript...

I am learning actionscript, and right now I am trying to trace the first character of a string I've declared.
Code:
var myString:String = "Informationsvidenskab";
trace(myString.charAt(i:myString=1):String;

Multiple markers at this line:
-String

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I've been trying this for hours with no prevale. I can only presume I'm over complicating things.
I've generated a awkward looking string using variables, and arrays:
Code:
var someVar:string = "hello";
var myArray:Array = new Array("test0", "test1", "test2");

I'm having alot of trouble tracking down the name of an object on the display list so i can removeChild Is there a way to trace every object on the display list so i can get its name and remove it? my stage is changing dynmically and i can't jut trace each object through a whole whack of code.
View 4 Replieswe use "document.write" in javascript, similarly i use "trace" in flash. But, what if i want it to get displayed in the swf itself. Will i have to use a "dynamic text box" (if yes, how) like writing " mytxtbox.text= ..." or what else is the way. The point being that the result that gets displyed in the output panel because of trace should come in the 'swf' so that someone using the swf to test would not need my .fla
View 3 RepliesA client is running into some problems with an application, and cannot install the debug flash player, meaning debugging is very hard. Does anyone know of a way to display the system's trace messages in a textfield on the stage for example? This way I could find the error by having it trace to their screen. I suppose a workaround would be to try/catch all over the application but that is not ideal and very cumbersome.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create an array (1-35), mix that array and display the results with a trace. I am getting an error with the following code.

Here are the files:[URL].. Even weirder, if you triple-click on the text field the moment it appears on stage, it will start to display.
Even more weird, if you right click, select all, copy and paste it onto somewhere else, the correct value will display.
Weirdest: Another textfield refuses to display at all, even the text I set in the flash IDE.
is it possible to trace/get a variable that's defined in a "main" .swf, from an external SWF that has been loaded onto the "main" SWF?
for example, if i have 2 SWF files called "main.swf" and "sub_page.swf"..
the code in "main.swf" is:
Code: Select all // create and define a variable
var currentInformation:String;

i tried putting "Object(root)" before "currentInformation" and it still wont work...

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

Is it possible to display a multiline string in a Flex DataGridColumn?i.e. Display:
Text line one.
Text line two.
I've tried putting "
","
"," " when storing the string but nothing seems to work.Currently only "Text line one." is displayed and the rest is hidden in the cell. I would prefer not to use "wordWrap=true" to emulate this behaviour in the cell, but instead be able to manually put in newline breaks (although I could turn on wordWrap to avoid long text from hiding due to cell dimensions).
