ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning Variables From mouse Event Function?
Sep 19, 2008
I am working with code where the variable "k" is a counter. I stripped out the extraneous stuff from the code below - so essentially when the function onExamPlusClick is called, the counter "k" and the minutes of an activity in an array both increment (as well as other things not shown). I'd like to return "k" as well as "activity[0].minutes" to the main program. Since the function is a MouseEvent, I'm unable to change "void" to "number"... and not sure how to return (pass) those variables back to the ain program.
This seems simple to do yet I can not find the right way to do it. I have a button here's the code: public function goForward(event:MouseEvent):void{ s++; if (s == xmlData.Player.length()){ s = 0; }}
Now all I want to do is have this function return a number so I can set up a new variable. I know I need to replace the "void" with "Number" data type and use "return" in the function. But I just can't find the right way to write the code. "s" is initially set to zero so basically all I want is when "s" increments up, it changes the new variable as well( call it newNum if you want).
import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var id:Number;
[Code]....
The variable id which is declared globally is changed in the function goNext. I need the variable to retain the value, but it gets reset as the function is not returning. I tried the return method but that's not working either.
I'm trying to return XML from an event complete back to the main function, but can't figure out how to do it.Here's the functions I'm calling:Main File:
public var mySendAndLoad:SendAndLoad = new SendAndLoad(); mySendAndLoad.sendData(url,variables) The mySendAndLoad class:
i am trying to return an XML object, but having issues. The object is only created via an Event.complete function. I need to return the XML created from my loadXML function via my grabXMLfromFile function.
Code: function grabXMLFromFile(attrPathToXML:String):XML { var fileUrl:String = attrPathToXML; var myUrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileUrl);
I have a question about making a function for two different kinds of event. It's not critical but I would like to reduce my lines of code and just be more efficient. Basically I have a button on the stage called "Enter". I also want the user to have the option of hitting the enter button. I don't have a problem making these two separate handlers for these events (i.e. one handler for the KeyboardEvent and one handler for the MouseEvent):
so today my question is how can we have 1 function triggered by both a Timer event and a Mouse event? 'm trying to avoid having to re-write/re-name a function just because I also have a Mouse event that triggers it and not just a Timer event.
Issue:
I have a addThis bubble fade in with icons on a button rollover, the addThis bubble will fade out after the timer is finished, but I also have a close button in that bubble which needs to use the same function that the timer uses. (want to avoid writing 2 exactly alike functions)
I'm hoping this there is an easy workaround for this like event:null or something.[code]./...
i have a password game where users need to select the correct 3 buttons to progress to the next stage. The 3 buttons that need to be selected are: pwd_btn1, pwd_btn2,pwd_btn3. After, the user must click on "submit_btn" to verify if they have chosen the correct buttons. So far everything works fine. So what i would like to happen is that once the 3 buttons are selected, and before the submit_btn is clicked, a function is triggered that will apply a glow effect to the submit_btn, indicating to the user to click on it.[code]
I have inserted two keyframes in the timeline, then i included scripts on each keyframe. The script in first keyframe is following:
stop();var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();mc.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,300,20);mc.graphics.endFill();addChild(mc);[code]....
The error which was reported while compiling is defined as follows: When i click on the movieclip 'mc' created in the first frame, an error like "ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on gallery_fla::MainTimeline/clicked(). Expected 0, got 1." is showing. Actually i need to go to the second frame while clicking on the movieclip on first keyframe.
I've decided to add keyboard capabilities to my program. All my functions I have written require a mouse event to be passed to them. I'm just wondering if there is a better way to run these mouse event functions rather than to take out the contents of these functions and create a new function that is called within a mouse event function OR a keyboard event function. What I mean is I am starting to change the mouse event functions I have to only have one line inside of them which will run a separate function. This same separate function I will run using a keyboard input as well.
How to create a mouse over event that call a function after 3 second?
I'm trying to create a function where when a mouse go over a sprite, it will count 3 second and call upon another new sprite, when mouse out before 3 second, the new sprite will not be called, how can i do this?
i am trying to activate a function within a class on a mouse rollover -this is AS2 in CS3 and i have the following in my Class.as:
[Code]....
the global.pane_array is specified in my FLA Obviously i would like to see the trace from the array, but nada.... if i put the movePanes() outside the rollover event, it works fine... however this does not achieve my goals
also if i declare the function as a global function from within my FLA, and then call it on the rollover e.g. _global.movePanes() - it works!

I hv make 4 movieclips and i wanna add mouse event but it is showing error on MouseEvent function, and the error is. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.
I am trying to essentially pass a string as a function name into an event listener, but I am not sure how to approach this. Is there a way to convert a string into a function?
Here is some code I have for me to show you what I am doing.
package{ //some import statements public class changes extends MovieClip{
in actionscript 2.0, one could call a mouseEvent function without actually having that event. For instance:
[Code]...
In this example, of course, rollOutHandler only does one thing, but this function could contain lots and lots of code, and I would not want to repeat all of it again inside the clickHandler function.
I'm having a problem getting my Flash project to receive a variable from a PHP file. I'm sure that the PHP file is receiving the data from flash, but nothing is returned. I have tried every method possible almost, and I still get nothing. It's been several days that I've been troubleshooting, and it's getting frustrating. I've googled for hours and done a pretty thorough actionscript.org search, but to no avail.Basic breakdown:I have a button that submits the score from a game, and then tells the user whether or not they have earned a high score. Flash uses URLVariables to tell the PHP the score, action (submit in this case) and the game the user is playing. PHP then returns a value for the variable '$status'. However, I can not seem to access this at all from flash.When I test the movie in flash, it generates this error:
There are 12 color variables, and each answer adds a number to each variable.At the end of the quiz, all the variables are put into an array, and sorted. Then the 3 highest variables are displayed. I have gotten this far. My problem is that I need to link the variable name (color) with the number it returns.[code]
I have a function that's called when a file download has reported progress:
private function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void { var percent:Number = Math.round((event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal) * 100.0); Alert.show(event.bytesLoaded.toString()); //pb.setProgress(percent, 100); }
Now, this should work fine but unfortunately, event.bytesLoaded is returning much larger values than it should. For a test file (8555 bytes), bytesLoaded goes all the way up to 8973384.

I am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query
