ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Variable In Previous Player
Apr 19, 2011
I've got my variables set out in a layer on the main stage. I've also got a MovieClip which I want to write some code within but reference a variable in the main frame. I tried just referencing the variable name but it didn't find it. I then tried root.variable name but I'm now getting this error message:
ActionScript Code:
Symbol 'character', Layer 'CODE', Frame 1, Line 2
1119: Access of possibly undefined property deathReset through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

A few months ago, I started noticing a small annoyance in Flash and the Flash Player. This small annoyance quickly became a rather large inconvenience, so I recently started googling a solution. Nothing to be found, unfortunately.Here's my problem:When I open a swf file with the standalone Flash Player (any version), the size of the player is set to the size of the last swf file I loaded with the "File - Open" dialog. By the way, when I use the file dialog to open files, the player resizes appropriately.An example:I open a swf with "open with - Flash Player" and the Flash Player sets its size to 320x240 instead of the swf's size, 640x480. Or I open a swf that should be 550x400 and it opens at 320x240. The Flash Player always uses the dimensions of the last file opened with "File - Open."
This problem even affects the Flash CS3 built-in "Test Movie" player.The problem is a little difference within the "test movie" player. It seems to keep whatever the dimensions were the last time you resized the player yourself, and full screen mode doesn't work properly.I tried upgrading, downgrading, editing the

I'm trying to set something up that will print a bunch of boxes on a grid in a certain pattern, and set things up so that a path can be determined from the start to the end. Each grid square is a MovieClip with an instance name x0y0, x1y0, etc. for each coordinate of the grid. I want to set a variable in my grid square class to 1 or 0, depending on whether or not a box is in that square. So I have this code:
for(var j=0; j < row1.length; j++)
{
for(var i=0; i <= row1[j]; i++)

I have a simple function that dynamically creates text fields. My text field name is referenced by var thisTextField. Problem is, when I try to do things with my text field, actionscript shoots back an error as such: There is no property with the name 'text'. How am I supposed to apply properties to my object if my objects name is a variable?
Code:
function showProducts() {
var products:Number = 0;
var thisTextField:String = "product" + products + "_txt";
for (var itemID in _global.rtsData[_global.rtsPos]["products"]) {

I am in no way very knowledgable with ActionScript, so this might be very simple and I am looking in all of the wrong places... but basically here is my issue: Instead of accessing an objects attributes like this, _level0.thumbnails.thumbnail0._width = 500; I want to be able to access it with _level0.thumbnails. (this.id) ._width = 500; where as (this.id) is a variable that could be equal to "thumbnail0" or "thumbnail99" depending on which object gets clicked. I have everything working to if I hardcode thumbnail0 it works fine, and this.id does get set to whatever thumbnail I click's "thumbnail" + ID

fairly simple question (with a long explaination). I have an array, created from the results of another array and it's position in that array. There are actually multiple arrays It can be created from.
Eg.
Array1: clientName1, clientName2, etc.
Array2: clientType1, clientType2, etc.
Second Array: [clientName1,0], [clientName2,1] OR [clientType1,0] etc.
[Code]...
My issue is, I would like to be able to dynamically adjust the array that it is generating from. This would mean changing the bold bit of the code above. I have tried declaring a variable (type = names+"[i]") and using it in the linkArray declaration, however it will not see this as an array reference, only as a variable. What I want to know is, how do I reference the name of the original array as a variable so I can update it dynamically?

I have been using this line of code to fade in a movie clip:
new Tween(background_mc, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
Now, I want to accomplish the same thing, only this time by using an element from an array (bg_array[currentSlideNumber]) that stores the instance name "background_mc"
I've tried the following, but it doesn't work:
new Tween(bg_array[currentSlideNumber], "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);

This is a problem I thought I understood and was addressed in a previous thread [URL] but I have a new situation where the old solution isn't working.I have 3 instances on a "nested" movie clip. Their instance names are: b1, b2, and b3. When I trace these movieclips from the main timeline, I get:
trace(b1); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b1
trace(b2); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b2
trace(b2); // result = _level0.slide_mc.newMC.b3
From the main timeline, I want to fade up these movieclips using tween, but I need to do this by building the instance name in a variable:
var myInstance:String = "slide_mc.newMC.b"+ instanceNumber //(instanceNumber is equal to 1, 2, or 3)
Now, I thought using the variable in this manner would work:
new Tween (this[myInstance], "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
...but it doesn't.
I've checked trying to use the actual movie clip instance:
new Tween (this.slide_mc.newMC.b1, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
...and it works fine.

I have a player that loads both images and videos. I am having a problem removing the previous child from the holder and am close to using tricks to fix it. I'd rather not. Here's the code that loads the image:
Code:
var _mediaLoader:Loader = new Loader();
_mediaLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
_mediaLoader.load(new URLRequest("blah.jpg");
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void{
videoConsole.imgHolder_mc.addChild(_mediaLoader);
}
And my flv loader is a bunch of mumbo jumbo with this code at the end:
Code:
videoConsole.imgHolder_mc.addChild(flvPlayer);
So, how can I remove the previous child, if there is one, when loading the next item on the playlist?

I finally got the variable referencing between classes and custom event problems sorted out. Now I got a question regarding the Error #2044 and Error #2035. The error reads like this:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I've put all the swf in the same directory, so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be that my XML file is in another directory that's causing the problem? I also heard having quotes in the URL in the XML file could also be problematic. Is that true? Here are my AS and my XML file.

I'm trying to reference an instance through the use of a variable in my call to a prototype. The variable is myVar and contains the instance name to which I want to apply the resizeTo prototype. My syntax is incorrect.
Code:
on(release){
//disregard this line
this.swapDepths(this._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
//this is calling a prototype named resizeTo
this.resizeTo(150, -100, -100);
//Setting instance name of another movie
myVar = "green";
//Trying to drop that instance name into my next prototype call
this._parent.myVar.resizeTo(100, _parent.old_X, _parent.old_Y);

Is there a way to recall a variable from a previous frame? I have a variable that was mathematically calculated in frame 3, that variable was then used in a dynamic text field. The problem I am facing is that the text field then disappears in frame 4. The only solution I can think of is reposting the text field in frame 4 but I am having trouble recalling the variable from the previous frame.

Is there a way to reference multiple movieclips using a single variable name? For example,I'm making a side-scrolling game, and there's going to be many platforms, and I have some code that tells the player not to fall through these platforms, but I don't want to copy and paste the same "platform" code every time I add a new platform.

I am trying to load an image in to a dynamically created movieclip, which is:
_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i
but I can't seem to reference it. I can load the movie into _root.mySlider, but if I add the dynamic element (stripX2(band[i][0])+i) without quotes it it doesn't load. If I load with quotes i.e.
"_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i
flash doesn't allow strings in movieClip variables.The code I'm using is belowm, it's the second to last line thats causing the problem:
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> target_mc._width: "+target_mc._width);[code]......

movieclip.prototype.playBackwards = function(arg){
if(arguments.length>0) {[code]....
when it goes back, it goes back frame by frame without stopping but I want it to go only to previous Scene. instead of going to previous frame.Do i have to create a unique button? which i did but i didn't work?

After successfully creating a movie player following the tutorials, I am having problems getting a FLV file named in an XML file to play on the NetStream when called via variable as opposed to naming the FLV in the AS 3 code.
this is the code I have below, works fine when I keep the .flv after the ns.play, but when I remove the quotes and enter the variable name without quotes, nothing happens. The trace on the variable gives me the name of the file I am looking for, (I actually created two variables that trace the same thing), but for some reason, nothing happens.
