ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Boolean Var From XML Node?
Mar 2, 2010
I have an AS3 program that is loading an external XML file. I seem to be having a problem setting Boolean values from the nodes with true or false in them. When I set a Boolean var from a node in the XML it always traces as true. When I trace out all of the XML I can see that those nodes do indeed say false, but the trace shows true. I don't seem to have this problem with uint and String, only Boolean.
'm trying to do: I have a number of buttons on stage. When you rollover, a movie clip is attached. If you roll out, it disappears; if you click, it stays. Then you can drag it around. I'm using a boolean for the rollout disappearing trick. I've set these up in named functions.
[code]function attachBar(word) { var showIt=false; i++;
I know how to use setStyle to change the defaultLeafIcon, but how can I modify a node's leaficon at runtime so that all my child nodes can have seperate linkage icons instead of using the defaultLeafIcon every time?
[code]I am trying to define a DataGrid such that the row nodes will represent new rows in the DataGrid and the column nodes will be used to auto-populate the DataGrid's columns. I am having a problem setting the dataField for each of the DataGridColumn ojects created.The DataGrid is created but the cell values for row 1 are all 0.51 and row 2 are 0.61.
I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.
[Code]...
My Problem: I want to know the new node where the leaf was dropped. Actually i would have expected that in the event there is a property like dropParent. This is not the case.
I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Is there a better way to do use a use a boolean with visible? I'm setting up animations that have conditions for visibility, and I don't want to use something that performs poorly. This animation blinks 30 times and stops. It works without error, but takes a moment to load. I would like to learn other ways of using visibility with conditionals.
This is what I used 'waits before playing' if(condition=5){ box.visible = !box.visible; This works fine 'no pause' if(condition<6){ box.visible = !box.visible; [Code] .....
ok so i am trying to change a boolean with a keyboard event
my code is this:
Code: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyPressed); function keyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void { if (evt.keyCode==Keyboard.SPACE) { if (!gamePaused) {
Been trying to get a flash map to zoom in and out but I can't seem to get it working, it'll zoom in fine, but not zoom out.I'm zooming into a particular area of a map (Uganda in this example) with a function for a button, I'm using a boolean value to check if I am zoomed in and it registers whether it's true or false (checking with a dynamic textbox). [code]
having an issue with a variable set. It is set as a string to default "no" on the very first frame of my movie, as follows:
var myaccess:String; myaccess="no";
Within my movie, there is an object. When this object is pressed, it is to change the _root.myaccess="yes"; I am tracing the variable within the movie clip and it shows me: I do not understand why it is changing my string definitition from "no" to false. Because of this, my variable does not seem to change to "yes' on object (button) pressed.
I'm using the following array to storing multiple variables for similar movieclips: public var ballPlaced:Array = new Array(false, false, false); ....however, its not storing the boolean value properly in the array? I'm using the following code in the ZoneFill and ZoneEmpty to assign it a value of true or false, e.g;
For instance, what if I had an object, say obj1, and I didn't just want to say, "Hey, is obj2 touching obj1?" But I wanted to say, "Is there any object touching obj1? Which object is it?" If there are lots of objects and you just want to know which object is touching object 1 without asking about every single possible object on the stage
if (DeviceDisplay.IsSpeedAvailable == false){ DeviceDisplay.IsSpeedAvailable = true; }
or
DeviceDisplay.IsSpeedAvailable = true;
I thought I saw that flex/as3 does an internal check on booleans before they are assigned to make sure you are re-assigning stuff but I can't find it to confirm.
Currently I have a rotating globe with 2 buttons. when i click on "right" button, it will go to next frame. when i click on "left button", it will go to prev frame. I have no problem making it rotating fully.
But now I'm trying to make the globe rotate itself when I mouse over the button. And globe will stop when I mouse out.
Basically I have an XML doc with certain tags that contain true or false. Flash returns these as strings, even if I specificy the tag as a boolean. I've tried everything I know.
I've been trying to get a flash map to zoom in and out but I can't seem to get it working, it'll zoom in fine, but not zoom out I'm zooming into a particular area of a map (Uganda in this example) with a function for a button, I'm using a boolean value to check if I am zoomed in and it registers whether it's true or false (checking with a dynamic textbox).

I have four possible directions on a grid (right, left, up, down) and I've already determined how to make a Boolean array to determine which positions are possible, returning something like (true, true, false, true). What I'm trying to figure out now is how to randomly choose one of these without choosing a false one. I've tried several permutations of If and While to no avail.
This is the closest I've gotten:
var rOrient:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*orientArray.length); var orientDecider:int = 4; while (orientDecider >=3) {
[Code].....
but the problem is, that by splicing the Falses from my Array, I can no longer match up the index number to (Right, Left, Up, Down).
I have started my movie with the var "nowPlaying" to be true because "mySuper_mc" will be playing at start. I have then created a Timer function that will tell the "mySuper_mc" to stop playing after given amount of time and to also set "nowPlaying" variable to false, however the setting the variable to false doesn't seem to work. I can mouse over in the begging of the movie before the timer has stopped it and will still get the trace statement that "The Movie Is Stopped"
PHP Code:
stop(); var stopTime:Timer = new Timer(500); var nowPlaying:Boolean = true;
I want to trigger a sound from my Library (linkage is: INM_Alarm). I have a problem with the code below. When I click the button a second time the sound should stop, but I get an error like this: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at M_fla::MainTimeline/alarmFunction()[M_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:48]
Code: alarm_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alarmFunction); var sndAlarm:SoundChannel; var alarmPlaying:Boolean = true; function alarmFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void{ if(alarmPlaying){ var sndAlarm:INM_Alarm= new INM_Alarm(); sndAlarm.play(); [Code] ......
I would like to toggle my boolean value when I click my button. My boolean var looks like this: var playAllOn:Boolean = false; Then I have a button that calls a function to set the playAllOn to the boolean value it currently is not. So, if for example if playAllOn is false, I would like to call:
[Code]....
I know I could do this with an ifStatement in the myToggleBtn.onRelease, but am wondering if there is a better more efficient way to write this. Something like setPlayAllBtn(!= playAllOn); <!-- Obviously that one does not work...
