If I have the name of the function I want to run in a string called function_name and the params I want to pass to the function in another string called function_params, how would I could this to go in a button with the following code:
mc.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, button1_handler);
function button1_handler(Event:MouseEvent):void {
// Dont know what to put here

I have found little to no flash to C++ documentation, let alone Flash to C++ over the internet. What I want to do: -Have flash send a string (or number) from a website to a server running a C++ program -The C++ program will receive the data and do something with it -After that, the C++ program would send back a response -Flash would then accept the response My goal is to make a simple MMO, but I can't start it without a server program to handle the players. I don't need a super-complicated example, just something simple, kinda secure and coded in AS3 and C++.
View 0 RepliesI follow some sample code which uses trace("Hello World"); to print out something in ActionScript 3.0, in Flash Professional CS5.
But nothing seems to get printed out (in a browser). Is the trace() function deprecated / removed?
Is it possible to build an application in flash that can then be exported as say an exe and then be used in the background while another application is running? I know that sounds complicated so let me further explain. I currently dj with an application and would like to create another application with flash that allows users to play some custom sounds (drops) while running the primary dj application. I believe someone out there already has created an application via flash that does this (have to read up on it more). But from the research I did do there is no way to interface with the flash application unless you alt-tab to it. Is there someone way to build a flash application that can be assigned windows shortcuts (say f1 funuctionality) while another windows application is running?
View 5 RepliesI was wondering if this concept is doable:
Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)
Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)
every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:
if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....
this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc
"playbutton1"._visible=false;
doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.
I have two functions, both are puting objects on stage and few seconds removing them, after decent of period of time mc steps to 3 frame where movie should stop, but those objects still appear on third frame, but I don't need them there. How to stop those functions?

I've got a bit of an odd issue. I have a class called UIObject that has a private property called _id. I have a getter/setter for it, and I extend UIObject by a class, lets say,MenuButton. Inside of MenuButton I have this function:

I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.
I am using AS 2 in Flash CS3 and XML. I have the function named in the XML file which I would like to be called via a rotating banner. However I can't seem to convert the string (read via the XML file) to convert to the function name. a trace reveals that the correct string is being called: _parent._parent._parent.loadFunction. urls[count] is the array that stores the function name. Here is the script:

I have 2 swf's:
Section.swf (to be loaded in main)
Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this:
[AS]
onLoad = function(){
// start doing stuff
}[/AS]
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run!
In _root exists function "path=load_Path()" which is triggered when an button is pressed. The result of this function can be "photos/folder1/image.jpg" or "folder1/textpage/" or any other path. What I'm trying to find out is how to get value of "path" automatically when it's changed or get callback whenever function "load_Path()" is triggered.
I don't have possibility to access this function because it's in _root SWF which I can't edit.reply.
I am trying to index a series of movie clips with their own unique index number for accessing through AS3. The example below is what I would like to achieve, when a user clicks on Topic1, I can trace back the index of 1, when a user clicks on Topic2, I can trace back an index of 6:
Topic1 (Index = 1)

1- i have class and i called its before and its running on runtime. i need to call function inside this class from another class, but without call the first one again, because if i called it, it will run default class function again is this doable ?
2- What super() mean ?
I want to be able to stop a function from running by the press of a button. Is there such an inbuilt function? Like "stop function(myFunction);" or something..?
View 5 RepliesI have a loop that is supposed to run a set of functions and output movieclips on a main movieclip. Each of these smaller movieclip is supposed to be a tile. The code below is supposed to make 50 movieClips each one from a different reference on the tileSheet. However it outputs 50 of the exact same movieclips.
Code:
var tDMax:int = 50;
//Start Get tiles
function getTiles():void{
tList.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
tList.graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth * 5, tHeight * 10);
[Code].....
Strange enough whatever I made tDMax which is supposed to be the limit for the loop, that's what all the movieclips become. For example if I put it at 25, then all the movieClips become tiles from the bitmap sheet reference # 25. That leads me to think that it's not passing the variable to the functions correctly, and it's only doing it once the loop finishes. But when I trace things like rowT and colT the references to the bitmap are correctly. And when I trade tn within the other functions that's always correct also..
I've seen similar threads on here but nothing quite works for me, so sorry if this has been previously answered.I'm creating buttons dynamically in functions, and I want to load them ALL in randomly as you enter the frame.Let's say I've made an array, and it looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var ButtonsArray:Array = new Array (6);
ButtonsArray[0] = ZeroButton;

I have a query regarding OOP and Movieclips and custom classes (something I haven't been able to get the hang of). I will try and demonstrate my question with an example (I can't think of how else to explain it).
1. I have created a custom class with a variables and a function
function myNote(myNumber){
var myNumber;
}
2. I have then added a prototype of the movieClip class
myNote.prototype = new MovieClip();
3. Created another function
myNote.prototype.onMouseUp = function(){
trace("The number of the note you have clicked is: "+ this.myNumber);
}
4. Finally I have registered the custom class with a movieclip in the library
Object.registerClass("note", myNote);
5. Then I create a few instances of the movieClip on stage
attachMovie("note", 'n0', 100, {myNumber: '1'});
attachMovie("note", 'n1', 101, {myNumber: '2'});
attachMovie("note", 'n2', 102, {myNumber: '3'});
THE PROBLEM: Now that I have three instances of the movieClip on the stage, so when I click on any of them, the function (onMouseUp...) is summonded and the number (myNumber) of the movie clip is traced in the output window.But instead of showing the number of the movieClip i clicked on, I get the numbers of ALL the movieclips on stage.Why is the function running for all the movieclips on stage? Where am I going wrong? You see ultimately I would like that whichever movieClip i click on, it should change a varibale flag (which will be defined in the class) to activated, but if I face the above problem, then all movieclips will have their flag values changed to activate irrespective of which i click on.
I am trying to run some code after the XMLConnector triggerfunction is completely done loading all of the xml data into theflash file and the bindings are updated.

this.play();

I am loading various swf library component/classes during run time. All of these components have the function 'remove()' in them. Not all of these components are MovieClips, many extend Sprite instead. I have them in an array that I loop through and call remove() on each of them.
I would like to keep strict mode on if at all possible:
Usually I can just do this
Code:
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{
MovieClip(i).remove();
}
but I am wondering what happens if I type a class that extends Sprite as a MovieClip to avoid the compile time error in order to call the remove function on it?
remove() does things like remove all listeners, stop sounds playing etc and finally parent.removeChild(this);
I'm new at AS3. I'm pretty good when it comes to PHP, MySQL or HTML but I'm totally lost in AS.I have a project in Flash Builder 4 that I'm trying to add something to that was built in Flash Professional. It's supposed to loas a couple of external AS files, then execute functions from them at a certain point in the application. I know where I want the functions to execute in the application, and I have linked the AS files to "test.as" which is the main AS file for "testapp.mxml". The problem is calling the "Detector" function from inside "FaceDetector.as" which is one of the external AS files. What is the best way to do the following.[code]I want to start the script and let it do what it's supposed to do inside the application at that given time.

Why: until my animation stops, so the user won't activate some other animation, there for I want to ignore any clicks he might do.
I wrote it through the equation (n, k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!).But I found it will loose precision quickly after 12th row.So I change the way. I tried to use the properties of triangle(each row is the sum of previous row)Than I get slow in running when function reach higher degree.
I just keep changing a little and a little... try to make it run faster.
