I am trying to return a movieClip to a project variable, so it can be retrieved outside of a function. However it fails.
I tried to simply set up a variable so when the function returns, it has a storage variable.
Then i tried for a function to retrieve the variable content
However when i call the trace(mc) it fails as undefined [code]...
is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access
ActionScript Code:
function stopShake(e:MouseEvent):Array
this array that function return.
I am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query

I have an external function that needs to return a customerID value. However, it seems to be returning the initial value instead of the value that I believe is being set within the function.[code]

I have the following function defined in a class:
Code:
vidNetStream.onMetaData = function(myMeta){
_root.totalDuration = myMeta.duration;
//trace(_root.totalDuration + "!");
}
totalDuration is a private variable defined in my class.... how can I get that function to effectively save totalDuration?
I have a variable which needs to be updated upon user input. It works inside the function, the trace function returns the correct type, but for a reason it wont pass it on the variable on the main timeline.[code]
View 5 RepliesSay I have four sub-classes of 'Car'. One for each color. I want to have one function that can build and return a 'color-car' sub-class based on the passed value. This is a dumb example, I know, but it is precisely what I am trying to do only on a smaller scale.
public class Car
{
}
public class BlueCar extends Car

Ok. You get it. This doesn't work for a reason unknown to me. I get 1118 errors which complain about conversion of BlueCar into Car, etc...
I want to make class which will import picture into UILoader and then will show it. It looks like that:
ActionScript Code:
package mob.kopertownik
{
import fl.containers.UILoader;
[code]....
And into the *.fla file I have got something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var myPicture:Picture = new Picture();
myPicture.CreatePicture(fileRef.name);
When I have got everything ready and the all requirements are fulfilled there is nothing happening.
I need to load data from a database, so I created the following function and placed it in frame 2 on the main timeline.
Code:
getQuestionSet = function (category:String, subject:String, level:Number, count:Number):Array {
var questionSet:Array = new Array();
var writeV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
[Code]...
Whenever I try to call the function, it fails to set the value of the questions array. It always appears empty(questions[0]-questions[10] have the value undefined). But, if I check the values from within the function after I have set them, it works, so I know that it is receiving the values. What am I doing wrong?
Code:
questions = getQuestionSet("Art and Music", "Art", 1, 10);
Here is an example of how I have would call the function.
I have a question regarding classes.[code]What i want is that clue() should return me the value of NetStatus which is generated in returnResult() when this function is invoked.Now in this case var "f" will become undefined because Clue() is not returning anything, so how can i find a way that value of NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS (in this case) will be returned from Clue().Although i can use ENTER FRAME EVENT to check when it has generated a status but i'm sure that there must be a better way.

I am using Flex's Alchemy library to generate SWC's out of C files. I have a byte array (unsigned char buffer[size]) in the c-layer that I'd like to return to the ActionScript layer as a ByteArray. Do I have to iterate through the array and explicitly call AS3_Set on each element or is there a way to just return the entire C array at once?

I need to get the value inside a handler..
ActionScript Code:
public function verifyUser(p:String):String{
var verify:String
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("verify.php");
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data = variables;
[Code] .....
It's always returning 'null'. because its not waiting for the completehandler to be completed and just passes the null value of verify..
ok so i've been stuck on this for a while...What i'm trying to do is create a function that updates a global variable (randomVar) that is itself a parameter in the function e.g
[Code]....
Basically, i thought randomVar and vari were the same so when vari was changed randomVar would too but that's not the case. So how do i make the parameter equal the new value(5). I want to repeat the function using different variables so putting randomVar = vari in the function is not possible.
I have 5 buttons that onRelease (= when clicked) calls the same function with each a different variable.
contentLoader(profile);
contentLoader(projects);
and so on.
the function is:
function contentLoader(sName:String) {
trace(sName);
}
Now the trace returns 'undefined'...I just do NOT see it anymore The idea behind is that I want to use a moviecliploader to load in the content corresponding with the clicked button (projects.swf, so it'll use myMCL.loadClip(sName + ".swf"); That trick always worked, but like I said, it keeps returning undefined. Did I make a mistake by strict data typing sName as a String?
I have a function that returns an object full of data pulled when an XML file gets parsed. But I also need to use an array object with additional data. That array also gets built in the same function. Is there a way to return both? I am trying to get both the "Obj" and "SlideTime[idx]" data to use as globals.[code]
View 4 RepliesI am working with code where the variable "k" is a counter. I stripped out the extraneous stuff from the code below - so essentially when the function onExamPlusClick is called, the counter "k" and the minutes of an activity in an array both increment (as well as other things not shown). I'd like to return "k" as well as "activity[0].minutes" to the main program. Since the function is a MouseEvent, I'm unable to change "void" to "number"... and not sure how to return (pass) those variables back to the ain program.

However, on a bright note its coming!!!! So far, everything is going well and I am now seeing the light with AS3I do have a question on returning a variable from a function that loads an external CSS. This particular function is located inside a LoadStyleSheet.as class along with another public function that sets text properties to fields when accessed. What I am looking for is accessing the stylesheet after its been loaded in another class. I know in AS2 I could use the Delegate method for something similar to this situation. Not sure what the next step is for AS3. Anyhow, function script is below.
ActionScript Code:
public function loadStyleSheetItem(loadStyleSheet_str:String):void {
var styleSheet_css = new StyleSheet;
[code]......
In C you can pass a reference to a data item as a parameter to a function. then within the function you can write to that address thus passing back a value to the caller. Can you do anything similar in AS3?
I know you can use the return statement but I want to return a status by that mechanism plus a value in a parameter.
i am trying to return an XML object, but having issues. The object is only created via an Event.complete function. I need to return the XML created from my loadXML function via my grabXMLfromFile function.

Is there a way to return the name of a movieclip which is being touched by the currently selected movieclip?I've got a variable called currentBall which is tracking a ball when placed inside a target zone (e.g. zone0_mc).How do I return the name of the target zone?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way that I can obtain the name of a clip's children just like I can obtain the name of it's parent by using _parent?
Basically, I have a whole bunch of MovieClips that I have created through a function that parses an XML file. Basically, it's a custom-made Tree.
I have them all set up in their proper horizontal and vertical positions, but the one thing I'm having trouble doing is closing a branch on it. I've tried storing values in arrays to help me sort all the MovieClips on the Stage, but I must confess that I'm not good with arrays at all, so is there some sort of obscure function somewhere that can return the child clips, so I can do something like:
Code:
myMC.onRelease = function():Void {
if (myMC.hasChildMovies() == true)
for (var i:Number = 0; i < myMC.childMoviesArray.length; i++){

I'm trying to construct a "getter" function in which a movieclip obtains it's childs current frame label, but for some reason I cannot get it to work.
Part of Block.as :

return (MovieClip(this.getChildByName(acs)).currentFrameLabel);[code]........
In Actionscript 2 I find that I cannot have a "private function set" without returning the error "A member attribute was used incorrectly." If I change it to "public function set" I'm fine but that defeats the goal of trying to protect the function from setting externally
View 2 RepliesIve embeded my game.as file as a movie clip into a new .fla which has 1 frame for the game, 1 frame for the win screen, 1 frame for the loose screen and 1 frame for the intro screen.
So at the end of the game I do MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
where my frame is either the win screen or the loose screen frame.both screens have a playagain button that returns me to the game frame.Sometimes I get the error after the first win/loss sometimes I get it after I do play again and then when I win/loose.
the error is at:MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
Im not exactly sure why or how to fix it though any tips?
I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts
