ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Var Returns Null In TextField

Aug 13, 2010

I have a small issue, which is important for my project though. Namely my global var returns null when I need it. I have a global var class:
Code:
package {
public class Global {
public static var premiseGlobalName:String = new String();
}}

In another class I'm setting this var like so:
Code:
public function onButtonRollOver (event:MouseEvent):void {
Global.premiseGlobalName = "My home";
this.addChild(premiseMenu);
}

The second line in the method calls another class to the stage which uses the global var. I trace the global var:
Code:
public function initPremiseMenu():void {
trace("GLOBAL: " + Global.premiseGlobalName);
}
But it returns an empty value.

I want to use the global var in a textfield like so:
Code:
premiseTip.text = Global.premiseGlobalName;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Get Global Function To Be Seen

Jan 29, 2009

I have a simple banner which rotates through three different movieclips. I would like to create a function on the main timeline that controls the length of delay for each of the clips.

So far this is what I have on the main timeline, which is a single frame:

_global.displayTime = function () {
startTime = getTimer();
MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {

[Code]....

The function works when everything is on the main timeline, but not when I want it to drill down into a movieclip.

IDE :: Referencing A Global Var Within A Function

Apr 18, 2009

I'm an old C programmer been away from programming for years. Now we have a project requiring Flash and I've been elected. Just installed CS4. I have 16 panels in 4 sets of 4 that rotate left to right. (Big learning curve on that one - fading transitions in the right order...). Each panel must have a unique url when clicked. (16 urls).I've looked through many solutions, most of which seem unduly complex. I think that the simplest short of going to onRelease() with AS2 (Later I have to add mouseover changes in the graphics) is something like this:[code]I haven't found this solution out there. Is there a gotcha because the a#Link vars are accessed as global within the scope of handleLink? It doesn't feel right, but it works fine and 16 global variables doesn't seem too bad.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Variable Within Function?

Aug 24, 2009

I'm having an issue with a global variable. I'm trying to give it a value within a function and it isn't working.The variable is imageList. It's an XML List. I'm making it global so I can use it anywhere in my project. I suppose if someone has a better idea to avoid the global variable, I'm up for that too. But for now, it seems like the way to go.
 
Here's my .as file:
package
{
public class MyGlobal
{

[code]....
 
It's giving me the same same Error #1009 as above. It seems like a scope problem, but why? Shouldn't it work since it's a global variable?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Declare A Function As Global?

Apr 16, 2008

I was wondering something to do with global functions, it seems if you declare a function as global inside the first frame of a movieclip...and try call it from the first frame of the _root timeline it does not work.

Example.

This code is in a movieclip on the first frame of the timeline called "my_mc";

Code:
_global.Test = function(){
trace("Test ok!");
}

Then the code on the main timeline, first frame would be a call like this.

Code:
Test();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Modify A Global Variable Within A Function?

Sep 24, 2009

I've currently got this script (see below). What I'm trying to do is make it so I can load several images from a loop. I've played with a few different things, but I'm not completely understanding how the listener works as it relates to the loader. It seems when I try and add a second image, it only enters the onComplete function 1 time, therefor i only get one Image loaded. As a side note, I've also been trying to dynamically change the x and y position, but I'm not sure how to modify a global variable from within that function, or better yet, pass in the arguements during the eventListener call to onComplete.[code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Sending Its Name To A Global Function

Jun 22, 2009

I'm trying to send an object's name to a global actionscript function. It works with a listener in the action layer:

_root.ButtonName.onRelease = function() {
trace(this._name);
}

But there will be hundreds of these objects, so I'd like to have each one call a global function, so I tried code for each button like this:

on (release) {
GlobalFunctionName(this._name);
}

But for some reason, the value being passed is null. (Although if I switch "this._name" for a string, that works correctly.) Question: How can a drone object pass its name to a central function? Should I be using "on (release)" or should I use a listener within each object instead? Also, is it best to make them Buttons or Graphics or Movie Clips since there will be so many of them?

Actionscript 3 :: Calling A Global Function With Out 'new' Or Having A Static Method

I'm creating a utility function for debugging/logs, which I access by importing the class and calling

new Log(params);

Alternatively I change the function to a static, and rename it to It,

then I can call it by Log.It(params)

I'm wondering if it possible to set it up so I can simply call Log(params) similar to the trace command?

function:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Global Variable From Inside Function?

Oct 11, 2011

I have a primary function that calls upon other functions, which call upon other functions, etc, each one creating different objects. I need to delete everything eventually and was thinking the easiest way to do this would be to have a global array to push() each object into. It would be easy to just put garbageArray.push(thisCreatedObject); into the for() loops of every function to grab all the objects so a deleteFunction() could just cycle through garbageArray to remove and null everything cleanly.

What I want to do:I could easily just create a global array to do this (code example 1), but I would prefer to be able to recreate this global array and delete it every time this primary function is called (code example 3) since it will be called upon a lot. It would be cleaner code to have it created from within the function as opposed to outside of it because I will have a lot of primary functions doing similar things that would require a global array like this.

I also know I could create one and simply pass it as an argument to every function (code example 2), but I would have to pass it to every single function. There are a lot of functions and a lot of calls to them, so this would require rewriting a lot of code and would be more work than it's worth. Making a global array outside of the function would be easier than doing this if it came down to it.

ActionScript Code:
//example 1 of global array. No passing as argument from
//primary to secondary functions. Multiple global arrays
//required for multiple primary functions in the future.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Global Variable - Enable / Disable Function Within Game

Oct 23, 2004

I have a button that I would like to enable and disable a function within my game. The button is called "flashBang". I'm thinking this may need to be done with global variables to make the switch do this procedure. How would I go about scripting this variable? Also I want to be able to target this function during gameplay, if this function is enabled do this line of code - _root.gotoAndPlay("flash");

The code needs to fit somewhere in here i guess.
//hitTest top + bottom wall
if (_root.ball.hitTest(_root.topwall) or _root.ball.hitTest(
_root.bottomwall)) {
_root.yspeed = -_root.yspeed;
_root.audio.gotoAndPlay("flash_bang");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Pass Touch Event To Class Defined 'global' Function

May 12, 2011

I have a class file defined in my package as MyGlobals.as.[code] (I have tried adding/removing "static" and "dynamic" to no effect.)I am trying to call a touch event from the main timeline in this way:myObject.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, MyGlobals.myFunctionName);(I have tried removing the class name to no effect.)When I compile I get the error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TouchEvent. This error occurs on function definitions in the class file.What syntax/concept am I getting wrong? The functions were working fine when I was using constants in the timeline, but I need to be able to reuse these functions over and over again, so I wanted them to be able to take touch event variables so that I didn't have to write a different function for every touch event.I tried googling "error 1046" but I can't find anything useful.
