ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Variable Dynamically Through XML

Jul 22, 2009

How to add a child to the stage dynamically? I can get a child to add to the stage but not using dynamic variables. Is it possible?
Example:
var firstRoundWinner:String = "Redsquare";
var mc:MovieClip = new firstRoundWinner();
// want it to say = new RedsquareaddChild(mc);
With Redsquare as one of my movieclips and the linkage is working. I can add it if I hard code it. But I want to load the variable dynamically through xml.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing/loading A Dynamically Created Movieclip Variable?

May 23, 2008

I am trying to load an image in to a dynamically created movieclip, which is:

_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i

but I can't seem to reference it. I can load the movie into _root.mySlider, but if I add the dynamic element (stripX2(band[i][0])+i) without quotes it it doesn't load. If I load with quotes i.e.

"_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i

flash doesn't allow strings in movieClip variables.The code I'm using is belowm, it's the second to last line thats causing the problem:

var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> target_mc._width: "+target_mc._width);[code]......

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Loading External Jpgs Into A Dynamically Created MC?

May 18, 2009

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

As3 :: Flash - Dynamically Name A Variable On An Object?

Feb 11, 2012

So, if I need to give a custom variable name to an object how would I do that?

For instance, if I have a gameID that is 12345 and its rating is 3 I want to save a variable called gameRatings_12345 thats value is 3 in my shared local object.

//share object
protected var mySavedData:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("mySavedData");

I have the game id in a string

var gameID:String = "12345";

Then when I try to assign the value like this...

mySavedData.data.gameRatings_gameID = 3

I think it's literally reading it as "mySavedData.data.gameRatings_gameID" instead of "mySavedData.data.gameRatings_12345"

How can I give the variable a custom name?

Actionscript 3 :: Cast A Variable As A Type Dynamically?

Nov 1, 2010

Is it possible to cast a variable as a type dynamically, where the type would be a variable of type Class? Consider the following (invalid):

var myClass:Class = MyClass;
var myInstance:myClass = new myClass();

For context: I'm working in Flex (4) to create a modal manager that will control various aspects of creating modals (via PopUpManager) and I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. Components would be passed through the same functions, and rather than allowing any type of variable to be cast, eg:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referring To Variable LoadVar Dynamically?

Mar 31, 2004

I am reading a file with certain user defined variables like &x=30&y=50&z=100

Lets the variable is caught in a function as argument myVar

now depending on the variable the user passes I need to fetch the value. ie if the user passes x i need to read the value of x. how the user has named his/her variables.

What i need to do it get the value of that variable by using loadVar.

this.myVar; As such it gives me undefined. There is text present in 'this' myVar represents 'x' I have tried eval(this.myVar) as well as this.eval(myVar) but in vain

ActionScript 3.0 :: Generate Variable Names Dynamically To Get The X Coordinate?

Sep 28, 2010

I am trying to generate variable names dynamically to get the X coordinate for many MovieClips on my stage.
 
This sort of works:
 
stop();
var End_X_mcArm01_Dot0:Array = [];
for (var Four_counter:int=1; Four_counter<=1; Four_counter++)
{

[Code].....
 
It stores the X coordinate in the variable End_X_mcArm01_Dot0[Four_counter] which is great. But I want to store these values for use later in my FLA.
 
If you turn the comment off on the second trace it errors although it appears to have created a variable called "End_X_mcArm01_Dot01".

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Name A Variable Or Created Movie Clip?

Dec 10, 2009

Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.
