For my calculator i am having trouble storing a number inside a string variable.
Calculator, Layer 'actionscript', Frame 1, Line 1441061: Call to a possibly undefined method append through a reference with static type String.
Code:
var currentNumber:String ="";
function pressNumber(e:MouseEvent):void{
display_txt.appendText(e.target.num);
currentNumber.append(e.target.num);//error here
}
For my calculator i am having trouble storing a number inside a string variable.

Calculator, Layer 'actionscript', Frame 1, Line 1441061: Call to a possibly undefined method append through a reference with static type String.
I have made a variable and am trying to store it as a number that the user enters from an input text field. I am trying this, but it does not work:
var myNumber:Number = myTextField.text;
when i trace myNumber, it comes out blank. How do i get the variable to be the number that is typed in the myTextField?
explain this...
var i:Number = 7059467160524343000;
trace(i);
i = 7059467160524343700;
trace(i);
i = 7059467160524343999;
[Code]...
So I load a variable, length, into a LoadVars instance.
Code:
trace(this.length); //outputs 3
var tempLength:Number = this.length; //tempLength should be the number representation of the loaded value
thisObj.buttonLength = tempLength+2; //I need to add 2 onto the this.length value
trace(thisObj.buttonLength); //outputs 32, which kind of makes sense, but I need it to output 5.
thisObj.buttonLength is declared as a number, and Flash does not output a type mismatch.
I want to add some input fields together and can't seem to do it..
test_btn.onRelease=function(){
total = Number(input1) + Number(input2);
}
In the total field I get 'NaN'
Is there a way to test a string, such as the one below to see if it's an actual number value? var theStr:String = '05'; I want to differentiate between the string value above and one such as this: var theStr2:String = 'asdfl';
View 3 RepliesI would like to make a dynamic button on a website I am working on. I would like one button to update a variable, and another set of buttons to add 1 or subtract one from the variable I have buttons on the left side of the page for some bands that load conent into an empty movie clip.
The website: [URL]
I would like to set up some forward and backward arrows above that content on the right, so users can also scroll through the content in order. So if someone loads the content for soul asylum, and click the back arrow, it goes back to the Wailers, and if they click the forward arrow, it goes to Swollen Members. So there is an order of pages: 1. Wailers, 2. Soul Asylum, 3. Swollen Members, 4. Passafire, 5. Beats Antique, 6. SFM Kind of an order of importance. The idea is if somebody starts by clicking #3 Swollen Members, my application will know that it is on #3 and the arrows will go to #2 or #4.
Is there a way for the main artist buttons on the left to reset a variable for the current slide? So if someone clicks on the Swollen Members picture button, a variable called currentselection equals 3 And then when the forward arrow is clicked, it will ad 1 to the current selection and load movie #4
So in VB the main Swollen Members button would be something like: im currentselection as int = 3 Which would reset the current page as 3
Then the forward arrow would have code like:
Dim Nextselection as Int
Nextselection = & currentselection +1 & ".swf"
And the button in flash would be something like:
on (release) {
loadMovie("Nextselection", "rightcontent_MC")}
Which would load 4.swf the slide for passafire.
So how would I do this in action script 2.0?
I have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)

The assignment is to create an application for playing a card game, I have to create an MXML component that has two variables, one variable stores the image of the back of a playing card, the other variable has t store all 52 options of a front facing card (the second variable will store over 50 images).
I've written the variable for the back of the card image like this:

View 1 RepliesI'm parsing out a greensock easing function as a string from an XML (as in "Strong.easeOut"), but then I need to store that in a variable as a Function type to call later. how is this done?
everything else i've found has been how to call a function from a string, as in this["functionName"](). i don't even know if using "this" is the correct scope for a static function in another class?
I have some binary data and I can't store it in a string, as such I'm using a ByteArray. The problem is that I need some functionality that comes with strings, to be specific I need the charAt, substr, indexOf and substring methods.
View 1 Repliesi'm getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.

This script from MC 1 loads an template from the library and then creates as many instances as the XML says.
It also creates a dynamic variable called ppp. This variable i want to store in each of the newly ceated instances and then use it in another movieclip to load the right path where i want to load another xml file in Flash....
This is what i want to accomplish:
xmlData.load("albums/album"+ppp+"/images.xml");
This code is in another movieclip (MC2) and gets loaded in frame 5 of MC1.
Another soltuions is if it is possible to read the value that is loaded in the dynamic textfield nummer_txt from the template:

There is a combo-box by the name "cbJobs" and it gets its value from the XML file named "data.xml".. I want to store the value transferred from this XML file into a variable.. so basically someone told me to use the code
on (change) {
_root.subject = this.getValue();
}
the only problem with this code is that it gets activated only after I "change" the value in combobox by pulling it down.. I want to use this value obtained from _root.subject as a subject in the script
getURL("mailto:abc@abc.com?subject="+_root.subject);
I am trying to create a navigation where a button is highlighted with a glowfilter when clicked and then unhighlighted when another is clicked. I have this code that I think should be working, but for some reason the variable lastClicked is never assigned and always returns null.[code]

View 7 RepliesI have a movie clip and inside that movie clip there is a button. I will be copying this movie clip 40+ times. When you click the button it must seek out the reference name of the movie clip it is nested in. The point of the script on the button is to make all other boxes but its self vanish. The script needs to know what box it is so it can make all boxes but it's self vanish. I know that _name returns the name of the object the code is on but what about the movie clip the object is in maybe _parent._name?

I'm trying to convert a string to number and no matter what I do, get strings still.
var lastDigit:Number = Number(e.target.name.charAt(e.target.name.length-1));
trace ('lastDigit is number = ' + lastDigit is Number)
And this traces false. I also tried parseInt and get a type coercion error.
I need to hold a couple of variables in an outside file that can be incremented by user activity -- not just during one interaction with the swf, but with every one.I have no problems with using loadVars and I get the loadandsend process; it is just that I have
no background in cgi or asp for holding the variable and being able to update it.I know I cannot write to a txt file -- that is what I have been using thus far with loadVars for importing values, but this will not help me here. I know it should be a fairly simple script -- I also know I ought to pick up php, but for the moment -- until a greater amount of time comes my way -- I turn to you.
PHP Code:
var awd:Number = 1;
var dwa:Number = 0.5;
var aaa:Number = (awd * dwa).toFixed (1);
Implicit coercion of type String to type Number. I'm using toFixed cause 0.14 * 50 was giving me 7.000000001 instead of 7.
Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:

I have a Flash Builder 4.6 project that is referencing an external ActionScript calculation library (swc). I am having some annoying issues when trying to convert a number to a string for display.

The first assignment of totalFuelCosts is fine, but the second to totalEmissions constantly gives me the following error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Number I initially used toString() which worked fine, then about 10 minutes later gave me an error. So I switch to String() which again works fine, then about 10 minutes later gives me an error. I have also click 'Project' 'Clean' and cleaned all projects, this clears the error, but it comes back again about 10 minutes later.
lets say that when you click on a button the variable number goes up 1 or 2 but it picks it randomly
how would i do it

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I'm trying to make a game that is turn-based and allows players to first be selected, then click on a grid square to move there. However, I can't get a way for a variable storing whether the player is selected to be passed back to the actual grid class. I want the grid class to have an event listener that when the grid is clicked on, it will move the player there only if the player is selected. But whenever I try to declare a global variable either inside the grid class or even a document class or even access properties of the character class I'm trying to move I get errors.
