ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Up Dynamic Variables From MovieClips
Oct 21, 2007I've been building a web based order form and my client want the ability to add items (as many as you want) and for them to be totalled up. I've used Kirupas Scrollpane with Dynamic Mc's tutorial to add my products, but I can't seem to add them up! Each product adds up it's subtotal in the dynamically attached Mc and outputs the variable 'subtotal' In my root I have this function to call the subtotals, but I can't seem to get it to add up each of them to output a total...

Actionscript 3 :: Add And Remove EventListeners With Dynamic Name And Dynamic Variables?
Jan 14, 2010picture: [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?

Passing Variables Between MovieClips?
Sep 6, 2010I'm trying to develop a site map, which draws a tick over the sections of my app that have been completed. I've figured out how to draw the tick and how to pass variables from root to the MovieClip that the function is in.
To make the tick appear only after an mc has been watched, I tried setting a variable equal to 1 ino the last frame of the MovieClip, and telling the function to run if that variable was 1.
I'm not getting compiler errors, but I'm also not getting the tick. And I'm definitely completing the Movie
Here's what I've got so far: In root

AS3 :: Accessing Variables Between 'movieclips'
Jun 16, 2008I have finally started with AS3 and flip-'eck its a different animal that AS2
I have a swf called login.swf and in it have declared the variables var total:uint=0; and loginState:Boolean=false
All my scripts for logging in sending/receiving variable from/to server scripts are all working!
So... when a user supplies a correct password another swf (userLogged.swf) is loaded (note: in AS3 this process is seriously different than in AS2) swf dont seem to be loaded 'into' another movieclip anymore... and this leads me to the puzzle!
How do I access variables declared in the project.swf, from within the userLogged.swf!
the old AS2 way = trace (_root.loginState);
or trace (_root.project.loginState)!
I am stumped by this new approach of AS3 of loading in other swf files. The _root. options is no longer available in AS3 (that much I've descovered, some tuts say use root. but I cannot get that to work)
trace (root.loginState)
or
var userLoggedIn=root.loginState
gives me the error
1119: Access of possibly undefined property loginStatus through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
when I try to publish the userLogged.swf

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Movieclips Using Variables?
Apr 18, 2010I have a series of movieclips stored in the .fla library
Clip1 (class: clip1)
Clip2 (class: clip2)
Clip3 (class: clip3)
Clip4 (class: clip4)
Clip5 (class: clip5)
I want to be able to add each clip to the stage using a function where the number is a variable that can be added to the "Add movieclip" statement.
For example:
var x:Number = 1;
var "Clip" + x:"clip"+x = new "clip" + x();
so that the program inteprets the above as:
var Clip1:clip1 = new clip1();
addChild(Clip1);
This was the only way I could think of adding a movieclip to a stage. I am open to any other option. I hope this was clear. I don't have any code to post because I'm just trying to work through the logic of the program. Adding movieclips to the stage when the name of the movieclip has a variable in it, is the part I am stuck on.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Variables Inside Other Movieclips.?
Nov 22, 2004I'm currently learning OOP through Sen's information here at Kirupa, and I've decided to try out his "creatures" exercise mentioned in his Best of Senocular thread...The situation is a random number of sprites are created, and they move around the stage, interacting. They all have a certain amount of "health," defined as a variable in a MovieClip prototype applied to the MC. When they hit, I want their health to go down a little bit, so how can I access a particular MC's "health" variable while I'm outside of the MC itself?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Global Variables Within MovieClips
Dec 9, 2010I'm working on a Flash game (AS3) and have come to a point where I need to change the value of a global boolean variable from within a movieclip. After searching all over I have yet to find a solution. Essentially, the problem is that I have a movieclip that contains a section of animation for my game. When this movieclip is told to begin its animation, it checks these global variables to see which of six animations to play. When it finishes any of these animations, I need to set the associated variable and increase the score.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Relative Variables Of Movieclip Instances From Root Or Other Movieclips
Feb 1, 2010In AS3, how can you access a relative variable within a specific movieclip on the stage?I have a test file that changes the variable "myVar" in one of the displayobject movieclips drawn on the stage. I want to simply trace the current value of this displayobject's myVar for additional purposes.In AS2, you would achieve this by calling the instance name and then the variable contained within.Assuming 3 movieclips existed on the stage named Container1¯, Container2¯ and Cotainer3¯trace(_root.myContainer2.myVar);// returns Hello which is value of variable "myVar" within the movieclip instance named "Container2".How would you do this in AS3?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove The Dynamic Movieclips?
Nov 9, 2009I've created an XML thumbnail gallery, and would dearly love to add a simple looping preloader animation to each of the thumbnails whilst they are still loading. I'm struggling to remove the preloader movieclip, once the corresponding image has been loaded.
I'm currently creating the new movieclips within the loop, so I'm having problems referencing them in the following load complete function. I gave naming the "spin_loader" instances a go (i.e. spin_loader.name = "spin" + i), and then trying to remove it in the "thumbLoaded" function ( i.e. project_mc.removeChild(getChildByName("spin" + spinNum)), where spinNum is the equivalent number to "i"), but I just can't seem to crack it.
