How do you pass variable values between functions where the addEventListener is in the first function? I am trying to get the color value passed into my event handler. [code]...
View 6 RepliesI'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:
var idVideo:String = "12";
var urlVideo:String;
[code]....
in this example why the values of (12) and (21,39) are lost at the geo and geo1 functions

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
Trying to pass a variable as well and cant seem to escape to pass it. How can I pass using window.open as such: Trying to pass (pid) all i get back is (pid) and not actual pid.How to on a jscommand?
Code:
something.onRelease = function () {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.someform.php?proj= + (pid)','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); }
I can do a standard getUrl("http://www.someform.php?proj=" + (pid), "_blank"); works fine but no control over window properties.
I have a function that I want to get an array out of. Do I just return the array to the function, and when I call the function set it equal to a variable?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected. My question is, how can I pass the variable so that the resulting line of code doesn't have the quotes around the variable value.
var playnoyes='true';

I know PHP, JavaScript and AJAX. All of these other languages easily allow me to pass variables through a function, but I can't seem to work out how to do it in ActionScript 3. As you can see from the code below, I have created a variable called 'flag', this variable is set to 'notAdded'. However, once the function is called, I want to change the variable to 'added'. This for some reason does not work, the variable update only works within the function itself. There seems to be no global scope for functions.
Code:
var flag:String = "notAdded";
bobRunning.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , bobRunningUp);
if (flag=="notAdded"){function bobRunningUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ bobRunning.width = 30;
bobRunning.height = 30;
flag = "added";
}}trace(flag);
Pass additional parameters to this type of functions?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am trying to set up a function that makes the hit areas for buttons. The text is visible, but the hit area rectangle underneath the text is not, but detects the hit; my previous version, the mouse had to be over the actual descenders and ascenders of text to register, to the rectangle makes it easier to click. I have the invisible part of the hit areas visible right now, by commenting out the line to make them invisible, but the end result will have them invisible. Instead of explicitly defining every rectangle, I am successfully passing the x,y,height, and width params to newbut function. But I also want to pass the names for each button, otherwise it seems to just change the coordinates on the same button. I am trying to pass the names as strings, but not working. Not sure what to do!!! PS this is my first time on this or any other Flash board, so please be gentle.[code]...

I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....

I need to ask your advice, I am developing a site where music is uploaded by unsigned bands.I would like the player to be developed in flash.I would want an area where you can search for music and also would like the user to be able to generate play lists when they are logged in.I was going to put the filenames into the database and use PHP to grab them and display them and then use JavaScript to pass the values into the flash player.But I think this will not work on the play list.So should I get the list of tracks using PHP and use Flash to display them?Or should I be using XML and not put the filenames in the database or even both.I have spent a bit of time Googling this and thinking about how I am going to attack this so my question to you guys is what would be the most efficient way of doing this.

View 1 RepliesI'm starting to get a handle on some AS3 basics in terms of building nested classes or packages or whatever the proper syntax terminology is.
Now I have two instance functions:
1 - parseXML
2 - loadImage
I have these 2 functions working together using an eventHandler. Once the XML is parsed the aim is to load an image. Sounds pretty common right?
When the image loading commands are in the parseXML function they work fine. But then when I put the image loading commands in separate function titled loadImage and trigger it using an eventHandler onComplete, it loses my variable and instance definitions.
I've got this external class that I'm loading into a function, it traces. But then I try to use the already loaded class in another function it tells me that I'm trying to access something that's not defined[code]...

I currently have a basic application where we have multiple buttons, which have functions activated by "click" event listeners on those buttons. The issue is that each button does more or less the same function; just the data that is loaded for each button is different. How do I make it so I'm able to recycle the same function? In Javascript or AS3 something along these lines would be done...
<s:Button id="btn_1" x="378" y="601" label="Button 1" click="photoSwap(event,"image1.jpg")"/>
<s:Button id="btn_2" x="350" y="601" label="Button 2"
[Code].....
But that's obviously not how it works. I've tried trouble shooting the issue but haven't been able to find anything. It works when I have each button having its own function, but that seems really silly and shouldn't need to be done.
I've created some dynamic movieclips. When I click and hold on one of them, I'd like a different library linked MC to appear, and the new MC to be draggable.
I can make the new MC appear, and I can make it draggable. However, I'm a little lost when it comes to telling Flash to forget about the old clip, and make the new one the 'live' one.
In other words - after a click-hold, I want the new movieclip to be movable without the user having to mouse up and then click again.
How do I pass values by reference inside a for each construct in AS3? Basically, I want something equivalent to the following code in PHP:
foreach ($array as &$v) {
$v = $v + 1;
}
This would allow me to change all elements of the collection $array through a single loop.
I am wondering if it's better to pass an instance of a whole class to another class or just specific properties of that class. For example if I want the height property of class A in class B do I pass just the height value into class B or the whole instance of the class and use classA.height in class B?
