I am attempting to place an animated "block" wherever its defined number is called in the array. However, the movieclip, instead of placing 1 mc at each instance, moves the moviclip to the last position called any graphics drawn using action script I can spawn in multiples.
ie:
ActionScript Code:
//5 symbolises a movieclip block
var newPlacement;
[Code]....
How would I go about evaluating an array of strings as function calls?Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var my_mc:MovieClip;
var myArray:Array = new Array("function1()", "function2()", "function3()");[code]....
I get an error "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor".In this case, I'm trying to dynamically add linked movie symbols from the library. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way... ?
I have an array name region it has a couple of properties. "code", "name", "value"
I want to store this array in an indexed object called regions.
I would then like to access the object by referring to its sub property name
regions[1].code
regions[1].name
regions[1].value
I can set an array region.code, region.name and region.value but I can not set the regions values
regions[1].code = "abc"
regions[1].name ="alphabet"
regions[1].value =26
note: region is singular and regions is plural(many)
Can someone outline the variable definition and construct so I can access this information. Happy to replace the index field with the code value.
Can images be stored in some sort of array and then called to the stage randomly?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create an array, and this is the code I'm using:
Code:
function create_spiral(len, rad, turns, num, theArray) {
theArray = [];
var inx = len/num;
var iny = ((360*turns)*(Math.PI/180))/num;
var inz = iny;
[Code] ....
And I'm calling it with:
Code:
create_spiral(200, 10, 3, 100, points)
ideally, I would then have an array, called points, which would be full of numbers. But when I run a trace it shows as undefined.
The code below adds all the childrens of specific movie clip to the array called arrayBox. The next loop SHOULD loop through all the items inside arrayBox and check if any of those items (those items are all movie clips) is colliding with movie clip which isn't in array called avatar. If so, it should pop up the output and change some variable, but the point is that something with second loop is wrong...

I'm using an onLoad function (importing variables from a text file) and I'm creating arrays within a for loop in the onLoad function.
I'm using something like this:
Code:
this["dvdAry" + i] = this[indexAry[i]].split("##");
So say the first array is called dvdAry0 .
How can I access that Array from a function? Please note the function, the onLoad function and the arrays are all being created on the same timeline.I've tried tracing the array dvdAry0 from the function after the array is created in the onLoad function, but it comes up as undefined. Is the array created on the object that I'm using onLoad on?I'm using a loadVars Object called loadDVDsText.
I have a function that returns an array of search results. I have a limit of 7 per page. When they hit 'next' I want to show the next 7 results in the array.
View 7 RepliesI've got an XML Doc loaded in. I've created an Horizontal List and referenced the arraycollection as the Data Provider. But what I need to do now is then pull the data out from that. I have 3 nodes / variables. They are id, title, thumbnail. But when I go to pull through the data as : {videos.title} Flex Builder gives me the Error - "Access of undefined property videos". Now I know full well it exists, as when I set the dataProvider to {videos} it pulls through the data without issue.
My code is as follows :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

How do I go about getting the XML Node : title and of course the thumbnail too?
I have a program where a few traces will display needed information for test purposes. Within this trace I would like to show an array, but when I do trace
("Array = " + myArray);
It will just show every entry as:
Array = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc...
What I would like to achieve is:
Array = 1,
2,
3,
etc...
Is this possible?
I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:

View 2 RepliesI have an object which needs to be added to an array, but when it is, it doesn't show the string inside. However, when I alert the exact same object, I get the result I'm looking for.
Here's my code.
newArray.push(obj.responseData.results[i].phoneNumbers[0].number);
alertMe(obj.responseData.results[i].phoneNumbers[0].number);
The first line shows nothing in that location in the array, and the second pops up a phone number, just like I'm after.
why i keep getting Parameter child must be non-null. And my code won't display 5 enemyBlock objects onto the stage but only just one.
returns:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
Im trying to optimise my code a bit so i dont have ten lines of identical code on each button. Actionscript is not my strong point. Currently on each of the menu buttons there is this code:
// sets the vertical position of all scrollbars (name0) inside their content movieclips //(name) to _y = 0
on (release) {
setProperty("work1.carni.carni0", _y, "0");
setProperty("work1.dead.dead0", _y, "0");
[code]....
what i'd like to do is some kind of function like this, which does all the work in a frame on the main timeline. For example:
on each button:
// tells every "name0" mc to set _y to 0 within their respective content movieclips
on (release) {
vertical = (_y = 0);
verticalHold(vertical);
}
on the main timeline something like this:
// Get the command from the buttons and run the function and set all "name0" _y to 0
function verticalHold(vertical) {
setProperty(allName0Clips(vertical));
}
i've played around with this function for loading external swfs, but i have no idea how to make it set multiple _y positions. what about putting all the mc names into an array (called "allName0Clips") and doing it that way?
this is my code for photogallery.there will be 61 images loaded in this array.how can i make an AUTO button which will make a slideshow,showing all the images in array?

I have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.
