ActionScript 3.0 :: Evaluating Contents Of Textbox And Responding
Feb 9, 2011
I have 25 textboxes on stage. I am using a for loop to point to each textbox and evaluate the contents. When I come across a textbox that has the letter "Y" in it I want to place an object called colorbox at a certain location. To do this I have assign the value in each textbox to a variable called tf and then evaluate the variable tf to see if it contains the letter "Y". When I trace this variable outside of my if statement it correctly shows the contents of the current box, however within my if statement it doesn't. Also the colorbox doesn't get placed at the designated coordinates and I get the following error message:[code]

I have 25 textboxes on stage named sw1 through to sw25. I want to evaluate the contents of each box using a for loop. How can I do this. Note the following code does not work for me.
for(var i = 1; i<26;i++)
{
var t = "sw"+i
trace (t.text)
}
I get this error message when I run my program:
Property text not found on Number and there is no default value. at Mastercalendar_fla::MainTimeline/frame1(E)

I'm very new to Flash, and I'm not a programmer, I have an Input text box named txtNe2 where a user will type an answer to a question. I want to evaluate the answer when the user pushes the Enter key and respond by sending the movie to either the "Ne2C" frame or the "Ne2I" frame (for the response to the correct or incorrect answer).

I have 31 squares on stage named square1-31. Each square is defined as a movieclip. . Each square has a textbox within it named txtbox1-31. I also have an object in my library called marker.I am using a for loop to cycle through the squares. I need to evaluate the contents of each textbox in each movieclip and if it is not empty, addChild an object to the current square location. So far my cod is not working as AS3 doesn't recognize the name of my textboxes or their locations.

I have a php script that calls a result from the DB and gives it a variable. I then have a dynamic text box in flash that I want to say "goto read.php, find the variable and display the variable's contents in this text box"...

I want to check the contents of 25 textboxes on stage. Each textbox is embedded inside of a movie clip. Using the counter on a for loop I want to cycle through all 25 textboxes and if they have text in them, i want to place an object overtop of that movie clip . For this example I will only use 3 movieclips, each containing a textbox. The movieclips are named mov1, mov2 and mov3 and the textboxes within them are named text1,text2 and text3
for(var i:uint = 1; i < 4; ++i)
{
var xloc="mov"+i.x
var yloc="mov"+i.y

I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing.
2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does.
3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.

my code is pretty straight forward. i can't get the 'if...then' statement to fire correctly. var t DOES equal "_level0.item" + sel at some point, as seen in my second code snippet, but the for loop doesn't ever see it and only the false code is executed.
Code:
_global.heck = function(sel) //sel will be a number sent from another function

I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.

I start an eventListener on frame 73. If I stop my movie and test animations in the flash player (going back to frame 1 for instance), the movie starts throwing errors because the listener is basically trying to listen on an object that doesn't exist anymore. So I was wondering if I could try somekind of "try {stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, myfunction}". I tried that with a catch statement but of course "try {}" doesn't work with asynchronous events. How would I go about that?

I have that function in the class:
private function fireItemCreated(data: ByteArray): void {
setTimeout(function(): void {
var event: ItemCreatedEvent = new ItemCreatedEvent(data);
dispatchEvent(event);
}, 1000);
}
This function called to dispatch item created event when image thumbnail created.But it delays event on some time to prevent user interface freezes. And I'm guessing what could be happen if garbage collector executes after fireItemCreated function call but before timer event. Does the closure will be removed or it stays until it will be executed?

I have a json object where I don't know some of the values at compile time, but I do know that all objects will be valid at runtime. So in the example below, the first trace will output "50" and I want the second trace to output "100", the value of someObject.someparam, which gets defined at runtime.
var plan:Object = { "testParam": 50, "testParam2": "someObject.someParam" }
var someObject:Object = {"someParam": 100}// this actually doesn't get defined until runtime
trace ("testParam " + plan.testParam);
trace ("testParam2 " + someSortOfInterpreter(plan.testParam2);

I am creating headerText for a datagrid (dgTop250). How do I get the variable headerStr to evaluate correctly in the last line of the function? With the code below I get the entire string as the column header in the datagrid, not the evaluated expression that I need. Variable colName is evaluating correctly. I tried creating an Object of headerStr and using Object.valueOf() in the last line, but got the same result as before.
public function get250(event:ResultEvent):void {
(var i:int = 0; i <= dgTop250.columnCount; i++) {
var colName:String=dgTop250.columns[i].dataField;[code].......

i have a small challenge calculating and evaluating a predefined path
here is my challenge in short.
- i got a path as a single color line on a white background (bitmap object but could as well be a vector shape)
- the path is a closed loop path (like a twisted and bend circle, let's call it a bean shape).
- i then need to move an object along this path in x steps but only once and stop exactly where it started
This means, i need to:
- find a start end point
- calculate the length of the path
- set keynodes along the path with X amount of spacing between (length/x)
- it got to be semi precise (within 1-2 px.)
one idea could be to loop throught the pixels till to find a color pixel and use this as the starting point, then use an vector with a predefined length (ex. 5 px) "rotate" it till it find a new color pixels and mark this as a new node, repeat the process till you get close to the starting point, and by using Trial and error you'll eventually have mapped the path, but this method is clumsy and not very accurate, if you don't hit the starting point spot on the first time, you'll recalculate everything over again.

I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I'm following a simple tutorial on making a platformer, but I ran into a problem. This is the code I'm using in a player movie clip:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(this.character.hitTest(_root.bg.ground)==false) {
this._y+=_root.gravity;

When I press the keys, nothing happens, but if I replace the if statement with a 1 then the code executes fine.
