How can I call a funtion and set a parameter to call a variable and load that information inside other function?
ActionScript Code:
//LOAD XML TEXT TO AS3 VARS
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData=new XML(e.target.data);

I have some buttons in the scene (inside the .fla) that change a variable "counter" after being clicked. In a separate class there is a function "showPage" that loads a xml-file according to the value of the variable "counter". My problem is, that I dont get the variable "counter" from the fla-file into the function of the .as-class.
Here is my code:
Inside mcMain.as
Code:
class mcMain extends MovieClip
{
//public var counter:Number = 1; //Das hier soll durch den Button getan werden :(

I am making an array and I would like for the array to gather the information from an input box inside the array. How would I get the so called array to add the information from name_txt?
Actionscript Code:
var word = new Array("Hello" + _root.name_txt,"How are you today?");
I'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?

I am reletively familiar with XML and how to load them in flash, but I have a new kind of file, XMP, and I was wondering if it could be loaded and used in flash similar to XML. My XMP's are automaticly generated by the new Adobe Lightroom software and look similar to XML's - a copy of a file below
Image002.xmp
Code:
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Toolkit 3.3-016, build -num-, -date-">
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">

All the XMP's are created the same with just the information changed and have the same name as the image the information is about. So can flash phase this kind of file? I want to use some of the information in an XML gallery with details of the pic shown from the AutoGenerated XMP file (current relevent info highlighed). Has anyone attemped to use XMP metadata in flash?
To simplify what I said above Every pic has an xmp file of the same name in the same folder as the pic. I want to use the generated information to display details about the image in an information box I am yet to create . The highlighted information is what I need to load at the moment but other information may come in handy when i get the page developed.
I want to load information from a Text file and then want to use in action script as a variable.What I did. I make a file with the name Text.txt and write there TextFld=You are Good Boy In flash I make a getText.fla in which i build a Text box at stage and set it to dynamic and the name of this variable is also TextFld Instance Name is Txt. Write the following code at main timeline
loadVariables("Text.txt",_root);
pretty fine it shows this information in flash but i want to use this variable in action script to do more action i.e i want to make flashy text. I want to store this information in a variable and then use that variable for other purpose.
I have a web page with a couple of Flash Input TextFields. When I press a button on my web page, I am using javascript (jQuery) to get all the values from the text fields and checkboxes etc on the page.
In order to get a value out of my Flash TextField, I understand that I have to use the ExternalInterface API. I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
In the flash IDE, I have a layer with just the textbox instance and another layer 'actions', which has all the actionscript.
As soon as I put: import flash.external.ExternalInterface
in my code, then the textfields full functionality does not seem to work on the webpage.
I assumed what I had to do was something like:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getFlashFieldText", getText);
function getText():String {
return myTextField.text;
}
then I thought that perhaps I had to call a javascript function to return the textfields value like so:
function getText():void {
var word:String = myTextField.text;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", word);
}
but nothing is working, and I think it is strange that the textfields functionality (some letters being styled) does not work as soon as I import the ExternalInterface class. I have tried putting the ActionScript 'actions' layer in a package, but it didn't help. As you can probably tell I am new to Flash and Actionscript, and I would be very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction.
I have seven movieclips that I want to load individual ChildNode information into from an XML file. Is there a way to pass that XML info into individual MovieClips for each individaul ChildNode?
Here's the code I have so far.
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();myLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);function processXML(e:Event):void {myXML = new XML(e.target.data);trace(myXML.*);}
I am trying to send some information to a javascript function on the same html page as the swf file is in. I used the tutorial here on Kirupa but for same way it doesnt work.
ExternalInterface.call("fillForm('"+ l.x, l.y +"')");
ExternalInterface.call("fillForm", l.x, l.y);
These are the variations I tried.
I'm kinda noobish when it comes to getting information from XML information sent to my flash file from the socket server. OK so for example the server sends me this:

I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.
I want to build a program built around my pc specs. Is there a way to access such information as how much ram I have or how much cpu usage is being consumed, etc.?
View 2 RepliesI'm currently writing a feature for an interactive periodic table which dynamically displays the name of the element and other properties when you hover over the element. I have thought of three ways to do this and I am wondering which is the best, memory-wise and speed-wise, for loading this information.
make a class with an array ( new Array("hydrogen", "helium", "lithium",...etc.)), instantiating it, then accessing the info with object.arr[i] make a class with a static array (otherwise, same as no.1), importing it, then accessing the info with class.arr[i] put the information into an external xml file and accessing it from there. The 3rd method seems excessive as you have to go through the hassle of adding event listeners for URLloader every time. Is there any difference between the 1st and 2nd way? (What is happening in terms of memory when you are importing a class - is the entire array added to memory?)
WHen I was learning AS2, it seemed incredibly easy to double it with PHP, but I am having a pretty hard time with AS3.Basically, all I need to do is do the same kind of thing that loadVars could in AS2. Just need to send a few pieces of POST information, and then load up the output of the script.I found this piece of code on the internet:
ActionScript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/feed/myfeed?query=youlike&start=34");[code].........
But it doesn't work (when I replace the url with my URL, of course.)
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code].....
var speed:int = 4;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,MoveRight);
function MoveRight(event:Event):void{
[code]......
I have an AS3 function that loads and audio file and then plays it. I have the pre-loader for the first audio file working - now I need to run the pre-load function before the 2nd audio file starts.
myMusic.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress2, false,0, true);
myMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playMusicNow, false, 0,true);
myMusic.load(soundFile, myContext); //This code works
[code].....
I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).
ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) {
var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",
[code].....
in this case this.name return me root1
i was expecting the name of the function caller witch is a btn dynamicly created on stage (see exemple)
var facebook:SimpleButton = new socialIconFacebook();
addChild(facebook);
facebook.x = 134;
[Code]....
i know i could put the url right there instead but i have a lot of btn who would use that function
I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this
ActionScript Code:
public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {
[code]....
Is this "kosher"? a was declared in the private function but added to something outside the function..?

I need to activate some lines of code inside a function because that is where the object name has been made.Would a boolean work well? If so how exactly would i implement it? I tried booleans but had no success because i am not experienced with them..

public function Function_One()

if I add a button to open a uiloader with a marker google with a xml dataprovider in data grid, how can I set this function?
function completeHandler(event:Event):void { var myLoader:URLLoader = event.currentTarget as URLLoader; var xmlDP:XML = new XML (myLoader.data); XML.ignoreWhitespace = true; dp = new DataProvider(xmlDP); dp.sortOn("name", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE); aDg.dataProvider = dp;

Can I somehow, stop the enter frame in function 2 with some code in function3? I know that is not the better practice, but in this case is really needful to have a function inside another.
how can i call a function that is inside another function.like:

function abc() {function uvw() {
}
function xyz() {[code].....
I'm having a major issue with my XML.. I want to load it up and then be able to use it elsewhere outside the function that is called by the loader.. but so far haven't had any luck on this whole thing. I've tried static, global, etc. Even did a return within the "gotList(evt:Event);" function... so how do I use the information that gotList provides outside of gotList itself? Full code is below.

It seems that I can have a function inside a function and my code compile fine. (by the way, this is a Flex question....not sure if that matters or not on here)But when I try to define a Resize from the inner function it complains....is it possible to do this? I'm really just trying to find a way to contain my functions inside functions that pertain to each other.
PHP Code:
public function Close():void{
function Resize():void{
