I'm trying to declare a few variables in a for statement using the variable in the for statement. In older flash versions I would use something like this.
Code:
for(a=0;a<10;a++) {
_root["variable"+a] = "Some text "+a;

I have a conditional statement (if) that I am trying to use contingent on multiple variables being true. So the AS I have right now is:
[Code]...
But when I run that I get the following error message: "Error 1050: Can not assign to a non reference value" What do I need to change so that once 1,2 and 3 have been visited visitComplete is set to true?
I just want to know if there is a way to assign multiple variables, and if there is a way to check multiple variables.
I want to be able to assign variables to false and then check if all the variables are false.
I'm about to start a game/quiz project where the user must click several buttons, one after another (though not in any special order) to answer a question:[code]Is this the right approach and way to add variables in an if statement?
View 1 RepliesI would like to use variables in my flash app. The app is quite simple, has many buttons, and on each of those buttons I have a simple script: on-rollover and on-release. For both actions I use the same value, which I want to put in a variable. The following script results in an error message: Statement must appear within on handler. When I have to declare the variable inside the on-handler, I have to declare it twice, which makes it useless as I have to enter the value twice. How can I get this working?
country = "uk"
on (rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(country)}
on (release){ getURL("/"+country+"/", "_self");}
I've just been searching the internet for some code to check several variables in one big If Statement, I just wanted to double check here whether the code I found is correct! Is it right to type it like this?

does anyone know if declaring new variables within a switch statement (inside of case: break actually creates new variables inside those switch statements, or are the variable declarations moved to the top of the function when compiled?
i know that when declaring new variables inside a for or while loop, the compiler declares those variables at the beginning of the function. is it the same for if or switch statements?
Using Component Inspector, I can control input dynamically. But I can't find a way to control checkboxes.

Im building a sample pad type instrument for a project, i have four channels for four different instruments the interface has four buttons to select the instrument, when the button is selected the image should be green but when another instrument is selected it should go to the second frame of the movie clip which is a red button to signal them instrument is off.
Line 23 i added a conditional statment for the variable associated with the channels it doesnt spit out any errors but also doesnt change the image when i click another button anyone know where im going wrong

I am trying to run an if statement based on the a variables datatype
var theArray:Array = ['element1','element2'}];
var theString:String = "I am string";
trace(gettype(theArray));
// In php gettype() is what I use to get the type. Is there a similar function in as3?
I am having problems with the
getcoord = xycoordMap[x][y].split(":");
xcoord = getcoord[0].toString();
ycoord = getcoord[1].toString();
xcoord0 = xcoord + "";
ycoord0 = ycoord + "";
code... as you can see in the code I converted three times just to verify that I was working with strings. What happens if you run this script, the variables xcoord0 and ycoord0 magicly change in value when they are used in the IF statement (see the traces). What is going on?? what am I doing worng?? Is there an issue with my 2d Array?

Is there a way to cut down the number of statements in this case?
I am attempting to create what I call an 'On Air' rotator for a radio station. I would like to pull in an image file for each program when it is on air. I have the following AS 3 code that seems to work:
var now = new Date();
var day = now.getDay(); // Returns integer between 0 and 6
var hour = now.getHours(); // Returns integer between 0 and 23
[Code].....
The weekday programming is the same every day. We have some programs that are three hours in length. I would like to cut down on the number of statements I write. I am unsure how to combine the weekdays and have a range of hours in one conditional statement. Will the following work?
if (day >= 0 && day <= 4 && hour >= 6 && hour <= 10)
I'm attempting to express the condition "if the day is Monday through Friday and the hour 6 am to 10 am"
I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
Code:
/stage variables
var sH:Number;
var sW:Number;
var _contentHolder = new Sprite();

I want to set multiple conditions for an if statement, but I don't want the conditions to all have to be true, I want to say if (a or b or c or d, etc. is true) then do this. I don't want to say if (a && b && c && d, etc. is true). Is it possible to have an if statement with an "or" in the condition? If so, what's the proper syntax for that?
View 1 RepliesThis is my code
Code:
if (mp1._y != 555) {
new Tween(mp1, "_y", Strong.easeOut, 650, 555, .5, true);
how/where can I ad a second condition like
Code:
mp1._alpha!=100)
to that same statment before that tween plays

I am trying to do a multiple if statement checking to determine which frame label within a MC (NE) and is located on frame 3 of the main timeline, to display. In the main timeline frame 1, I have declared a new var:
var n_e;
button1.onRelease = function (){
n_e1 = 1;
main timeline go to and stop at frame 3
}

But it doesn't seem to work, and most of the time it lands up on Ne("2") instead...
I'm afraid I know the answer but I wanted to check first.
I want to run a single function based on multiple values.

I want to make a function that will remove every single mc symbol I've previously attached to a "mask" movieclip. So i created this:
removeAll = function(){
for(a in _root.mask){
a.removeMovieClip();
}
}
I thought if i do that itll remove each "a" it encounters but I guess I'm missing some part of that "for..in" syntax. Not sure how that works.
I have a button that I want to play first one frame label in a movie clip, and then another, depending on a variable.
The problem that I am having is that the movie does not wait for the first part to finish before jumping to the next.
Here is an example of the code
on (release) {
if (_root.busMove.bus == 2) {
_root.busMove.gotoAndStop ("A2beg");
_root.busMove.gotoAndPlay ("Bbeg") ;
}
}
It goes right to Bbeg, flickering briefly over A2beg which will not do!
I am making a jigzaw and when all the pieces are put in the right place, another movie clip will be played.All pieces are buttons placed in different movieclips. The movieclips are then placed in scene 1.
In frame 1, I've written
_global.var1=0;
In frame 2, I've put movieclip1, and in movieclip1 I've placed button1, with the following actionscript:
on (press) {
startDrag ("_root.movieclip1");
}[code]..........
However, when the piece is in the right place, and the if-statement has been activated, _global.var1 is still 0 when I trace it in frame2.
I have a menu movieclip and an externally loaded swf on my main stage. The menu mc needs to control the externally loaded swf. For example the swf plays and pauses, then when any of the menu buttons are clicked the swf needs to play thru and be removed. currently I am dispatching an event for each button clicked with a switch statement. In the main timeline I need to listen for each of theses events and based on what button is clicked proceed to the correct content frame. How can I listen for different events and run one function that based on which event is registered perform a task with a switch or if statement?
View 4 RepliesThis shouldn't be too difficult. Heres my code:
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
var box[i]:Object = new Object()
box[i].id = [i]
box[i].name = "default"
box[i].location = "default"
box[i].type = "default"
But its not working. I keep getting error messages concerning the var box[i] statement.
Where and how I'd put the rest for the score tracker? I'm going to be making 3 of these multiple choice questions, so what would be the best way I lay that out and transition from one question to another?[code]...
View 1 RepliesHaving a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code
[Code]...
I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
The following doesn't work (although it gives no explicit error), but why not?nd... Is there really no way around it, strictly using the with statement? Forget using for / foreach.
with (object1, object2) {
attribute = value;
method();
}
Why the code above gives no syntax error, doesn't work but is accepted by with?If it's possible, how could we change multiple objects with same attribute using with?
var object1 = { attribute: 3 };
var object2 = { attribute: 2, method: function() { alert('blah'); } };
var object3 = { method: function() {alert('bleh'); } };
