I just started working with CS4 / as3 and I'm working on extracting simple text from an xml file. I got the code off youtube, and it seems that even after copying this guys code line for line, it doesnt work. More speficially, the trace/output doesnt want to output variables. I did use trace("hello") and that worked fine, so its not the omit output option, but it just wont display the values from variables.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI've gotten these sliders to work but can't get the output values to add up. For instance, depending on the values for slider 1, 2 and 3, I need the total to show up in a separate text box. I keep getting a NaN message in the text box.Here's the code I have so far:
//item 1
sliderOne.width = 600;
sliderOne.value = 0;[code].....
I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?
View 5 RepliesI have this little loop that creates buttons. My aim is to change value of variable 'thevalue' on everytime button is pressed, first button should give value 0, second 1, third 2 and so on.
Code:
for (jo=0; jo<xmlData.firstChild.childNodes.length; jo++) {
value1= xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[jo].attributes.value;
_root.attachMovie("button", jo, (1000-jo), {_x:20, _y:20+(jo*20)});

i am using FlashDevelop and i have created 2 very simple classes, [code]When i create an instance of the Vehicle class in my VehicleOnly.as file and send the values to my constructor, and run the appplication, it does not show any output to my Output panel.[code]
View 4 Repliesi have a drag and drop exercise that will output a value based on the drop positions of 2 points. What I would like is to be able to add a button that basically has a whole new set of outputs based on the same drop positions. Here is an example. If I place an object on drop target 1 and 3. The output says something like "good job". Now if I click a button and place and object on 1 and 3 the output would say "try again".
View 4 RepliesThis includes some code and some traced output. I've been looking at this for 2 days and it stupifies me. I'll elaborate: There is a game object, its a dictionary object containing a screen tile with index/name tile_x_y So i can look it up using the x and y coords. The object contains lost of stuff but in this case especially: x, y , width, height, xtile, ytile (self explanatory i assume) & xmove, ymove (-1,0,1 depending on direction.)
So, now these objects move around the screen (yes its just a game) and check if they hit the screen bounds and if they try to move onto tiles that are occupied/non traversable. It goes fine for most objects but sometimes, or for some objects (no clue why and it changes on restart), halfway the boundaries check, the object internal x and y values go ballistic and i end up with a reference error on the dictionary object because tile 280 30 just doesnt exist.

I have a problem with some code where it will not output exactly what I want.Here's a direct code copy of what I am trying to do. I think it might just be a syntax problem, but for the life of me cannot work it out.
Code:
var textFileData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
textFileData.onLoad = function(){
minNum_txt.text = textFileData.minNum; //minimum number specified for range[code].........
i need to know the type of variable in the output with the trace(), so it could be something like so
[AS]var outputVar:String = new String();
outputVar = "this is a string";
trace (outputVar == String);[/AS]
well, i thought this was possible, but something must be wrong...
I am traying to make some sort of a simple forum in flash. Problem occurs when I want to output contents of flash variable to file.
For example: I have inputText = "hello world how are you" variable. How can I output this inputText to an text.txt file, so that in text.txt will bi written "hello world how are you".
Is it possible?!Here is an example:
for (var i:Number = 1; i<nTest; i++) {
var test + i..
}

Another thing: how to access array values from outside of function?
This one is tripping me up. I'm creating a simple 10 question 'quiz' with simple "yes" or "no" radio buttons for each question. If they picked "yes" the value is 5, while "no" is 0. I want them to be able to choose all of the answers and then click submit. On submit it would add up all the answers and save that number as a variable named "score".
I know how to setup all of the radio button groups, calling each group question1, question2, question3 etc and giving the values to each yes and no radio button. I just don't know how to capture the values on submit, add them up and save to a variable.
Is it possible to get values for a variable from an array.How would i do this?

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to write an "ANY" conditional statement? For example, I want to write an IF statement that if the user presses ANY of 10 specified keys, I want to execute the same bit of code.However, the only ways I know to accomplish this is by
1) writing a switch statement, which seems unwieldy because I'll have 10 separate cases which all duplicate the same [code]...

I'd like to enable the user to enter several parameters within the flash plugin. These influence the flash movie. The flash file itself works perfectly fine. But now I also want to access and process these parameters on a Javascript function.
I tried the external.Interface and navigatetoURL method but couldnt achieve the required result. (The 'link' between flash and javascript doesn't seem to work...)
So how / which is the best way to transfer parameters from AS3 to Javascript on the server ?
I'm trying to do something simple in actionscript as simple as this:- Create a variable: var urlVideo:String;- Use that variable inside a function and give it a value: urlVideo = ideoElemento.url.text();- Then create a new variable and give it the urlVideo value: var url:String = urlVideo;
Here's my code:

I have three conditions for three possible values for a variable. In the mxml code i would like to display a different datagrid for each instance.Is there a shorter way than writing three boolean functions for each possible value, and then using the boolean value returned by the method as a parameter for whether each datagrid will be loaded?

View 6 RepliesI have run across a really weird problem when posting URLVariables from a as3 flash file to a php script.The issue is that sometimes the key and value doesn't match from the swf to the php, for instance:I post name, email and verificationcode to php from the swf,Name: Daniel123456789then the php script could get something like this:name=>DanielE-mail => ielIt's the same field that fails consistently, and it usually takes parts of a value from the other variables. It's a lot of foreign characters envolvoled, can a ampersand in a URLVariable value screw things up?

Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
if (userWord.text == word){
score = score + 1;
trace(score);
}
That will constantly add one to "score" when a certain word is typed into a text box. How do I add one to "score" without stopping the application or playing it once?

View 4 RepliesI have two document classes. One is Main.as the other is Step2.as. I want to declare a public variable in Main.as then need to give it a value from Step2.as. That value will later be used in my next Document class Step3.as How would I write the code that gives the value in my Step2.as and then how would I write the code that retrieves the value in my Step3.as?
Note I can't import my Step2/ or Step3 document class into my Main.as.
I want to know how to save some variable values into a local machine... as for example a save button. Then the user plays the movie again the variables show up as he left them. I think this is done by SharedObject or something like that...
