In this game I'm creating I want to be able to add movie clips to the stage but give them instance names which will increment per clip.To give you an idea of what I mean, here is some sample code (which in my mind should work):
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int=1; i<=10; i++) {
var root["enemy"+i]:MovieClip = new enemyBall();
[code].....
I have a string variable with definition I need to use as a variable name.
For example, this is super simplified:
var newVariable = 'it is working';
var partOne:String = 'new';
var partTwo:String = 'Variable';
[Code].....
Instead of tracing partThree as literally partOne + partTwo (which traces "newVariable") i'd like it to trace the Definition of partOne + partTwo (which is "it is working").
Any way that I could get a variable definition straight from a class (or some sort) without having to create an object and read it from the object. Basically I need to know a whether an object will have a specific true or a false variable definition but I don't need to create the object right away for anything else. It seems a bit of extra processing to create an object I may not use for sometime but just needed to know a true/false early on. I can give it the name of the class just hoping to bypass the object creation and hope garbage deletion will take care of it.
View 1 RepliesI just decompiled a .swf file and I am having a problem with this code
Code:
while (_loc_3 < _loc_13)
{
_loc_21 = _loc_11[_loc_3];[code]........
As you can see, what I want is just to make _loc_24.stabbingCount equal to _loc_25 or simply I want _loc_24.stabbingCount to have the same value as _loc_25 yet I am getting an error of a duplicate variable definition. Is there a possible to do this?
If I have the following AS3 code inside of a class:

I get a "Duplicate variable definition" compiler complaint. Obviously I could declare the i variable once within the function call to avoid the issue, but I shouldn't have to. The first i should be out of scope before the second for loop begins.
I have a navigation bar movieclip that has the following EventListeners in symbol definition:
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {event.target.root.gotoAndStop(1,"newsawards");
event.target.root.categoryName = "Transportation" <<<DOES NOT WORK}

I am facing a problem as Duplicate variable definition while compiling but it is not at all effecting my program.
Is there any way to remove compiler errors beacause it is coming every time when i run movie.
The code used to work fine but once I modified a text and a couple of lines from the script, I started having this "Duplicate variable definition." with a code totally unrelated with what I edited (I only edited the music player script that I was having problems with). The code I'm having problem goes like this:
var mufl:* = size + 0.2;
size = size + 0.2;
mufl0 = Math.sin(mufl) * 8 + 4;[code]....
I keep getting the error on the lins 1,2 and 3 (where the var is).The code uses some Math functions,etc... The main purpose of this code is to create a colorful waves (much like the the old Media Player 11 "Alchemy" visualization), but would change color and shapes everytime the user uses his mouse. The final purpose of this is to make a colorful, interactive music player for a online radio we are trying to build.
I've nearly completed my first ever game audio assignment in Flash but have one small error that comes up every timeThe error is: "Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 431Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition."The code is as follows with the offending line in bold:
Code:
//If the score is greater than zero
if (so.data.score == undefined || score > so.data.score)

Description:Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.Source: var _loc_1:int = 0;Loading swf file results in:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property _loc_3 not found on om.flashloaded.media.player.MediaList and there is no default value.
View 2 RepliesI have the following loop:
Code:
var disabled = new Array('RB0','RC0');
for (var j = 0; j < disabled.length; j++ ) {
var d : MovieClip = getChildByName(disabled[j]) as MovieClip;
var tween:Tween = new Tween(d, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0.25, 2, true);
} // Fade disabled
In this case I have only two elements in the array but in fact I will have 70.I get the error on tween:
Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.
I want only to apply the tween not store it in a tween variable.
I have a class definition as file. In it a variable gets passed to into a function (parameters). Then I want to use the name of this function to swapDepths with another movieclip.
Code:
private function alphaZero(clipToSwap) {
trace(clipToSwap+"+clipToSwap");

I've recently switched to CS4 and AS3. There is a couple of nice features in AS3. However,the more I do hacking (certainly you can't call it programming) the more frustrated I'm with AS3.Here is the most stupid thing I found so far.
Put this code in:
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++)
{

I have an xml snippet that contains an object hierarchy:

<InternalObject val1="13" val2="13" />

I'm seeing that here's how I need to write a for loop: for (var i:uint = 0; i<10; ++i) { trace(i) }
However, when I go to make another for loop using "i", I get an error saying "1151: A conflict exists with definition i in namespace internal." and another saying "Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition". My assumption then is that I can only use "i" once in a for loop? Blech. Alternatively, I found that the old way of doing it (below) works just fine in AS3 and I can use I in multiple loops till the cows come home.
for (i = 0; i<10; ++i) { trace(i) }
I am being a bit puzzled on figure out how to release temporary identifiers to recycle them.For instances, suppose that I have 2 loops to instantiate dynamic mcs from library like this:
Code:
var zz:Number;
for (zz=0;zz<=4;zz++)[code]....
If I run this snippet of code, the compiler will complain and tell that I have a "Duplicate variable definition".I cannot understand why it doesnt complain when it is redefined five times within the first loop, and just complain because the second lop.Anyway, there is a way to release the _mc identifier then I can reuse it? I am an addicted to standartize names and recycle code...
It think Flash is telling me that my array tabData is getting duplicated, but I only set it up once in the var section of my code:This is the line with the error:

I'm trying to make something that will show up in a dynac text field something like this:"[variable1] text text text [varibale2] text text text"I've linked the dynamic text field to a variable "resu" and set it to:var resu = variable1 + "text text text text" + variable2 + "text text text"The only problem is that when I make the variables random, they don't change
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip and in that movie clip there is a dynamic text box. I want that text box to display a dynamic variable name something like:
Quote:
_root.var_[this._name]
so the variable will be _root._var plus what ever the instance name of the movie clip it's in is, how can i do this?
[URL]
And in this flash movie, in a text area, it shows whatever you type in before the string ".youarelame.com".
How was this done?
Is it possible to pass a variable to a Flash Movie thru the URL?
Like, for example, if I were to do something like this: [URL]
could I process the "USERNAME" variable with some code somehow and get it to return my USERNAME back to me in the Flash movie?
Code:
// what i have
ans1 = pollSet.getItemAt(0).ans1;
ans2 = pollSet.getItemAt(0).ans2;
ans3 = pollSet.getItemAt(0).ans3;

How would I go about declaring a dynamic variable based on the field name like I'm attempting to? Of course I could leave it the way I have it, but for future reference, how would I harness the scope of "this"?
I've never had to deal with a mc inside of an mc this way before... Basically they're already on the stage and creating them dynamically would require recreating everything.... Not worth it.
Code:
//14 total
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 14; i++){

Using AS2. I have a variable defined:
activenav = "services";
I then want to reference the variable in a MC string. I've tried many variations of this:
_root.my[activenav]Clip.gotoAndPlay("Out");
Essentially, I want Flash to see this as:
_root.myservicesClip.gotoAndPlay("Out");
Getting syntax error.
I've tried to make a function that will allow me to change the value of any variable in my flash movie, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's my current code:

}
changeVar(score,"50");
