ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters To A Function From Within An EventListener
Feb 26, 2009
Code:
function enableButtons():void
{
for (var i:uint=0; i<40; i++)
[Code]...
I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.
However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:
Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));
Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

I am trying to to attach a function with parameters to the timer but it says "unrelated type function" is there any way to get around this??

var redoTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
redoTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, saySomething("helloo"));
redoTimer.start();
this wont seem to work but is there a way to pass on arguments???

i have couple of videos that i want to play in succession. my theory on how to do this was to add an event listener that would call function to change the source of the FLVPlayback component and play once the initial video finished playing. The problem is that i don't know what parameters to pass to the eventlistener and the acting function. I just need someone to fill in the blanks to the following code

I'm attempting to write a performance testing function that can take any function, run it X times and spit out how long it took that function to run in AS3. I've got it working just fine if a function doesn't take any parameters but it comes up with an error otherwise.Here's the code:
public static function testFunction(targetFunction : Function, object : Object, ... parameters)

Look at the simple code below:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,traceMe);
function traceMe(evt:MouseEvent)
{
trace ("hello world!");
}
What if I want to pass a parameter to the traceMe function? There is a way to do that?

Consider the function below:
function personal(Name:String,age:int,city:String):void{ trace(Name+" is "+age+ " years old and lives in "+city+ ".")}
The parameters can only(???) be passed in the order they are declared in the function as

I've got an XML file that is loading in data and is calling functions.
how to call the methods from classes with variables set from the XML file:
var functionToCall:String = xml.functions.func[0].to_fire.toString();
myClass[functionToCall]();
This calls the function perfectly.
I was wondering if there is anyway to pass parameters into the function as well through variables. Some functions may have no parameters, some functions could have 5... so the xml could be like this:

hboxvar.addEventListener("mouseDown",dosomething(3 43));
hboxvar.addEventListener("mouseDown",dosomething(1 23));
hboxvar.addEventListener("mouseDown",dosomething(1 2342));
public function dosomething( somenumber:Number ):void {
//do something here
}
I try to do above function but I need to pass variable from hboxvar but not from inside function suggested by macromedia.
any one frustated with this way of passing multiple parameter which depends on what to pass in flex 2 using addEventListener ?

Passing additional parameters to function listeners You can pass additional parameters to function listeners depending on how you add the listeners. If you add a listener with the addEventListener() method, you cannot pass any additional parameters to the listener function, and that listener function can only declare a single argument, the Event object (or one of its subclasses).

I am wanted to know how can i pass a parameter to the function which I'm calling using Delegate class. I know to pass params having static values such as true / false or a static string "hello".
Code:
var myFunc:Function = btn.onRelease = Delegate.create(tihs, releaseHandler);
myFunc.str = "hello";
function releaseHandler()
[code]....
Here str can be retrieved as 'arguments.caller.str' inside the function.But in case i want to pass the reference of the 'btn' button. Then how can i do this ?

I have an FLVPlayback component with several ActionScript cue points designated along its timeline. I've written a listener that successfully executes a function whenever the video reaches one of my cue points. However, I'd like it to do different things depending on which of the cue points it has reached.
Here is my code:
Code:
// these are the cue points that I'm adding to my video
_root.thevid.addASCuePoint(33, "show1");
_root.thevid.addASCuePoint(43, "hide1");
[Code]....
Essentially, I would like for the function to accept a String name from the cue point, and then decide which action to take (either showing or hiding something). I don't know the correct syntax for accepting information from the cue point. Should I pass the cue point into the function as an object, then parse its name from within the function?

I have benn programming in AS2 for a while, but I'm moving to AS3, and I'm having some trouble with syntax and mostly with management of parameters and variables (actually I tried to work with functions in packages without good results T.T). The game has four different types of shooters, and all of them use the same bullet (shoot function). I have succeeded on disappearing the target (a coin in this case) when it is hit by the bullet, but the problem is that I can't quite find the way to dissapear the bullet properly. I keep receiving this message:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I'm making a function, and I want to pass it's handling less restrictively, kinda like jQuery I guess.
Code:
function cfunc(min, max)
{
return (Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min))+min);

Now I know that alternately, I could pass them individually to the function and then join them all together as one, but I'd prefer to use one variable and pass the data through it, kinda like a scripting engine.

I'm sorry if this seems too common, but I tried to search it and didn't have yet good answer for this. Let's say I have 2 objects in iteration and both got the eventListener.
Code:
for (i=0;i<10;i++)
{
a[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,clicked);
[Code]....
I know about e.target or e.currentTarget, but that only removes the listener from the object that was clicked, not its counterparts too.

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

I need to dynamically pass 2 parameter to an swf movie to make it work properly, they are a number and a boolean. To do this I've changed the html page which contains the movie to php, I pass to the page the parameters' values through GET. The values are correctly passed to the page, I've tried to print them.
I build the call to the swf in this way collpreloader.swf?connid=<?php echo $_GET['connid'] ?>&animazione=<?php echo $_GET['animazione'] ?>
collpreloader.swf correctly reads the connid parameter, but animazione results always true.

I've somewhat decided n Anvsoft flv player for a flash website project. There seem to be many of these players free and otherwise, but they seem to all publish for HTML, not from anothe SWF.. The published html is below, and my question is how to call the SWF from Actionscript 2 rather than HTML? I believe I can figure out the rest of the mechanics to a recent education .

So I have an MC that has 6 labels and 6 buttons all with different names. When you click on a button, it needs to direct you to it's appropriate frame label in the MC. Now, since AS 3.0 has done away with inline functions, how the heck do I code it so I don't have a function with a bunch of if statements inside of it in addition to all of my eventListeners that I have to add to each of my buttons? In AS 2.0, I would have done it like so:
Code:
function movePlayhead(whichOne:String):Void{
this.gotoAndStop(whichOne);
} button1_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label1");
};
button2_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label2");
};
Etc...
With AS 3.0, you have to add eventListeners to each of your buttons where each eventListener calls a function, but how can I write it so I don't have to write a bunch of if statements inside the function the eventListeners are calling in order to test for which button is being clicked? Like so:
Code:
button1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
function movePlayHead(event:MouseEvent):void {

What I want to do is to pass parameters from the browser to flash. I searched and seems like the best way is FlashVars. However, I have tried different codes and can't get Flash to detect the parameters. I decided to follow the example here and just copy and paste the whole thing (just changing the "main.swf" to my swf name): [URL]. The flash loads, but it only shows "param:" without anything else. I gathered that it probably is a more fundamental problem. (e.g. the way I am debugging, or some settings, etc.) I am using CS4 trial version AS3.

I want to open a .swf file with a parameter for instance test.swf?beer=good and set "good" (the "good" parameter is going to constantly change) as a variable in the script so that I can add it to the stage in the swf file. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to read the parameter so that it can be placed in the script.
For instance I have it set to:
var beer = "";
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com/search?&q="+ beer , "_self");
}
