ActionScript 3.0 :: Return Variable From Loop?
Sep 15, 2009
I am trying to make a hangman game and have made an array with words and picked one at random each time the movie is run and then taken that word and broken it apart into each letter. I then made a loop to create a new TextField for each letter. Then I set them all to "visible = false"I want to get to the point where if the user selects a letter that is in the word that that TextField with said letter will become visible. Only I cannot figure how to get a function outside of the loop to see the variables (i.e. instance names of the TextFields) inside the loop.Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var words:Array = new Array("HELLO","WORLD","JOE MAMA","ALIENS","ATTILA");
var letterArray:Array = new Array();
[code].....

I'd like to have my movie clips on the stage and run a loop to return their x and y positions, these positions will be stored in an array (startPos:Array) for use later in some other script. I have 7 movieclips on the stage, each with an instance name startobj[a number]
AS2.. Nice all works:
var numberOfElements:Number = 7;
var startPos:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numberOfElements; i++) {
var startObjs = eval("startobj"+[i]);
[Code] .....
But when I trace all I get is 0,0,0,0. Is this something to do with in AS3 there is no connection between names and things?

I have a problem with returning variable between classes. As far as I know there are some ways to do it but in this particular case I tried to use Getter.
So I have an XML file (content.xml), a class to read XML (LoadXMLExt.as), a class to display images, and the main class which first call the LoadXMLExt to get the information from and then call the displayimage class including passing the information from LoadXMLExt.

I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.

I am trying to add a Paypal Buy-It-Now button to my Flash site.The basics are simple enough:
this.cmd = "_s-xclick";this.hosted_button_id = "1234567";
this.getURL( "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr", "_blank", "POST" );
...however, one of the button parameters to post is called 'return'.

I am trying to pass the text from an input text box to a sender variable called variables. The first line of code works fine, but how do I make it dynamic so I can use a loop to load the "first" names into variables.first1, variables.first2, etc.This works great...
variables.first1 = this["first"+i+"_txt"].text;
But when I try to make the left side of the statement dynamic, it does not work.
this["variables.first"+i] = this["first"+i+"_txt"].text;

i need to create an arbitrary number of display objects using a for loop because the number of objects will depend on the number of items in an xml file.
so i want to control the objects using actionscript. in as 2 i could create a temp variable in the for loop and use attachMovie() and assign an instance name. i know in as 3 you can use the .name property, but i heard you had to use the variable handler to control the object.
so i can't do this because it generates an error:
var numOfItems:uint = 5;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < numOfItems; i++)
{
var mc[i]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
}
