when doing something like passing an array of movieclips to a function then trying to access the name of the movieclip (a[i].name) why does it give instance names instead of the names passed in.
Here is example code from a function I'm trying to use to enable whatever navigation movieclips i pass into it:
ActionScript Code:
function enableNavButton(a:Array):void
{
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
{

i can load xml, get what i want out of the nodes, attach mc's accordingly, etc. but i'm having trouble figuring out the best way to build a function for a button inside each dynamic mc that works correctly.I can build the function (which should load the corresponding variable's value for the array's position) but when the button is clicked it actually loads the variable associated with one array index position up.so if i'm clicking on the button that's supposed to load [0], I get the value for [1]'s variable. make sense?ode:
Code:
stop();
holderMc._visible=false;

I want to have an array, where each value is a function, where each function also has a set of arguments.
What is the correct syntax for setting a value of an array as a function?
Lastly, how do I pass arguments into the array's value?
Code:
var funcA = new Function(a:Number, b:Number){return a + b};
var funcB = new Function(a:Number, b:Number){return a - b};
var funcC = new Function(a:Number, b:Number){return a * b};

anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing.

Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

I have a multi-dimensional array that I'd like to pass to a .php script (to generate a printable .html page). If I load my .php with LoadVariables, would it automatically understand the structure of my array and be able to loop through it in the way I expect it to?I've only passed strings and numbers to php in the past.

When the user clicks on a thumbnail image I want it to pass the selected thumbnails "link" node information to the callFull function.

Passing a JavaScript array to Flash?I want to pass an Array from JavaScript to a Flash movie. My goal is to create an Array of URLs to pass to Flash and once the Array is in Flash, I can access those URLs in the movie.I know how to send a variable to Flash using the "Embed" and "Object" tags using "FlashVars".
<PARAM name=FlashVars VALUE="song=song_URL">
but I want to somehow send and array, or maybe can I call a function that creates the Array I want to send?My reason is to have an HTML developer come back and change the Array values and that will change the Flash Array, so they don't have to edit the Flash movie.
You can do this:
PHP Code:
public function (args ...)
To take in any number of arguments. Is it possible to then give the content of that args array to a new function:
PHP Code:
public function bla (args ...){
pleh( changeArrayIntoArgs(args) );
}
So that that would be the same as just passing arguments manually. lets say bla got 3 arguments:
PHP Code:
bla(v,vv,vvv);
So that bla then executes:
PHP Code:
pleh(v,vv,vvv);
I created a custom button component that accepts an array as a property. I set the property as follows:
titleDims="[{Month: comboBox1.text, Year:comboBox2.text, Sales Order:comboBox3.text}]"

Wat is wrong with the array syntax?
What is the difference between both:

var arrVertrek = [myDropDownText,arrCity25000[0],arr26000[0],arr26220[0]];
How do you pass instance names into arrays? I've got a bunch of movieClips of states.
They all have instance names.. alabama, arkansas, delaware, florida, georiga, etc..
I am trying to send them all to an array because I need to be able to disable the movieClips all at once and I don't want to call each one separately. I setup an array and a "for" loop, and it properly gets each value in the array:
ActionScript Code:
states = new Array(alabama, arkansas, delware, florida, georgia);
stateslength = states.length;

It took me hours to figure our why this was returning the wrong value - when assigning one array to another it passes by reference not Value. I need a way to force it to pass by values. e.g. copy the existing array and have the second array reference it, so i am free to modify the first array without changing the values of the second.[code]From the example above You see that in Actionscript when assigning one variable to another it does it my reference not value. So when you chage the value of one array it changes the value of the other automatically.I need to have the "test2" variable reference the "test1" array only by value so if modify "test1" the values of "test2" won't be modified.
View 7 RepliesI'm going to post the full code of the two functions, disregard the "fluff" unrelated to the two functions as it is all working flawless, I've tested this HEAVILY and cannot understand why it keeps setting the entire array to undefined!
Code:
// processReplace Function
function processReplace(transferFiles) {
var processArray:Array = transferFiles.slice();
[Code]....
Basically it's supposed to check to see if the file exists and return as true if it does and add it to a replace array, then the replace array is processed into a single string and put into a dialog box through the flash wrapper prompting them to "replace the files or not".
It makes the replace array just fine, it actually even has the right "count" in it but it's setting all the "filenames" to undefined because of the exists = processSearch function.
I even tried to make a new array and run the search just from that one and set the values from the old one and it's still failing.
Is it because of the "break" or can anyone figure it out? Iknow it's hard because you can't use the code

How do I pass mulitple variables from a function using AS3? Does this have to be done using a Class?

This is a function on the first frame of a .fla updated to AS3 from an old AS2 file:[code]When the function is called it should set "max_messages" to 600 in AS3, right?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 methods in a class and 2 properties. The first method fetchXMLData() gets data from an XML file. In the addEventListener method on the urlLoader object, I pass it a listener which tries to set the returned data to the xmlData property. However, it never sets it, and I know the data comes back because I can alert out urlLoader.data using the mx.controls.Alert component.
