I want to monitor a variable. Whenever the variable value changes I want to call a function. In actionscript 2 I can use "watch" but in as3 what can do ?
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to make a simple class that I use to debug some of my code at runtime. I use a function in my debug class to pass a variable from another class that I want to monitor in realtime. For simplicity sake I am only passing Stings at the moment. I can pass the variable that I want successfully but I am stumpted as to how I to get my DebugClass to monitor that variable in realtime. Since the variable is being altered in another class, what would I needto do to have the debugClass monitor that variable without having to call a new function everytime the varible changes, which could be 300+ times a minute.
This is the current method I use to add the variable to my displayList:
protected function addDebugData(stringToAdd:String):void{
var debugText1:TextField = new TextField();
debugText1.border = true;

i want to call a function from within a function using a variable representing its name...

I'm just getting the hang of AS2 OOP, after avoiding it for all this time, and I have set up my first couple of classes.
One class generates an array, and the other class takes this array, and uses it it to place MC's on the screen, and gives each mc an onEnterFrame function. I have a stack of these onEnterFrame functions, named 'avoidIt1()-avoidIt11()'[code]...
I'm trying to pass a variable through a function, but I'm getting it's value 0. Here's my code:
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToCategory);
function goToCategory(e:MouseEvent) {
trace(c);[code]....
this trace gives me value of 0. Normally I would do goToCategory(c) and inside that category I would get it's value, but in this case I'm calling this function with an event, how can that be done?
var c is declared globally, so I'm using it above this code in different place... is there smth like global $c like in PHP.. or there's some other way to do it?!
I need a way to call a function from a function. It's not that hard, I know, but the name of the nested function is a variable passed into the first function. Like in setTimer() and other functions in flash, where you have the name of a variable to call. I'm going to have a lot, so doing some cheap if(funcname == blabla){blabla();} won't work.

View 2 RepliesI just need to call a variable or function from a movie clip to main timeline. In AS2 I would use something like:
_root.myvar = "Hola";
or
_parent.myfunc(4,2);
But this doesn't works on AC3. I tried to remove the "_" but its the same.
Let's Say I Have This Class:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Main extends Sprite{
public function Main(){
trace(getAverage(1,2,3));
trace(getAverage(1,2,3,4));

I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
I have a public variable and I am trying to set it, then read it from a different function:

My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.

Is it possibile to call a field of a object using a variable? Something like:
[Code]....
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".

View 3 RepliesI have global variables:
_global.var1Array
_global.var2Array
_global.var3Array
_global.var4Array
and so forth.The issues is I need to call a variable from within the array but depending on an option the user has chosen it needs to call the right one.At the moment I am trying
end = "_global.var"+userOption+"Array["+array#+"]";
userOption being the needed array
array# being the needed entry within the array.
However when I try and use this I of course just get it like a string, not as a variable...
How do i go about this,
Lets say i have a variable _a:Number=5 and _b:String="_a"
I want to call a variable whose name is contained in _b

I want to create a variable that I can call in a path. For instance:
Code:
var myVar = "varHome";
Then, to use in code:
Code:
_root.mcContent.varHome.gotoAndPlay(1);
Can you do that? This way obviously doesn't work (because I've tried it). Is it possible at all?
I am using Flash2004 MX
I thought this would be simple, but it hasn't been.
I have a seris of hidden MCs named star1, star2 etc.
I want them to become visible when I call this function.
star_fn = function() {
starcount++
starshow=("star" + starcount)
starshow._visible=true
}
But it is not working.
I thought maybe it was like converting variable info to a number format, but using a text scenario instead.

I'm brand new to actionscript and I've decided to try and make an overhead tile scrolling game. It's been going good so far, but here is my problem:
I have the level data stored in an array, where the number represents the corresponding tile.
I have movie clips in my library called "tile_1", "tile_2", "tile_3" etc.
Anyway, what I was thinking of doing was this:
var newTileContents:("tile_"+lvlArray[i]) = new ("tile_"+lvlArray[i])();
newTile.addChild(newTileContents);
Where, if the value in the lvlArray at [i] is 2, then it will create an instance of tile_2 etc.
But I am not sure how to to type the "tile_"+lvlArray[i] bit properly.
