I can't figure out what the syntax is for this in Actionscript. Basically, I have a variable I want to add into a string that will call a certain frame based on user's language selection.
[Code]...
I have a extremely simple problem here but my mind is not working at all today. I have the following code:
ActionScript Code: var myMessage:String = "Copy the notes "; on the main scene, but i want to change the text in the string when it loads a different frame or scene. I generated a new scene and in the first actionscript layer i used:
ActionScript Code:
myMessage = "Scene 2 loaded"
but it doesnt work.
im using PHP with MySQL to send information to my flash file using GETs.Using FlashVars i have managed to get the users 'id' with this i can send my questions/searches to a PHP script which access the database and returns the information to the html page.What i would like to do now is add the information sent back to the html page to a variable inside flash for example:
var usr_name = get_user_name(id) || 'Unknown'; // "Unknown" should just be for offline use.
but this just returns 'Unknown' this is the function used:
public function get_user_name(usr_id){
loadData('search.php',"quest=name",'usr_id='+usr_id);
}[code]......
If i just type the URL into a web browser i get the name outputed.
I have trouble with a script for my game project. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. This is the code I'm using:

Now, if the variable enemie_life drops to 0 (which I'm tracking with a dynamic text box) it just ignores frame 241 and continues with the second part of the code. There I have another problem: from my understanding (and the way I'd like it to be) it should give me a 3/1 chance to go to 126 and otherwise go to 181. The latter almost never happens. It seems more like a 100/1 chance (and I tried it often ...).
I have a swf that I want to edit.I decompiled it and edited the one value I wanted to change (It was how many items were displayed). Now, I get a few AS I cannot fix, I know enough AS to get by, but this is above my head.I have two errors, they both say: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
ActionScript Code:
function goNext()[code]..........
I marked the lines that have syntax errors.they are hosted on my test server and I can PM you links. (I am building a website and don't want the link out there.
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

If i have an ASP page that is returning variables (and I can see them in the debugger) how do i consentrate a string to call that variable?
ie:
variables being returned are named:
"res1", "res2", "res3"...etc
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(imageArray[j][1],"gi"); trace(imageArray[jTemp][2].replace(re,"-"));
imageArray[jTemp][2] is a string imageArray[j][1] is a string as well I'm not getting the result I expect. I would like trace above to return 'permanentContainer-' Here are the traces for the above variables
permanentContainer-temporaryContainer- temporaryContainer
I thought I would share a simple pad string function I created briefly... I know that there may be other similar functions already out there but I decided to make it anyway. It's basically a ripped off as3 version of the str_pad() php function.
Examples:
trace(stringUtils.stringPadLeft('7',4,'0','left')) ; // Traces 0007
trace(utils.stringPadLeft('whatever',2,'~','left') ); // Traces whatever
trace(utils.stringPadLeft('hi',20,'-','left')); //Trace ------------------hi

I have just finished the Kirupa Tutorial "Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash".I would like to simply add a button that takes you directly to one of the images in the slideshow.I will have 200+ images in the slideshow and with the project i am working on i need the ability to have an action to place on a button that takes you directly to say, image 47 in the xml.
View 2 Replieshow you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I downloaded the trial of flash cs4 and have created a simnple flash.I am creating a simple slideshow, each of the slides should be clickable and redirect the browser.I created images then imported them and they were automatically converted to symbols.I combined the symbols using some motion tweens.I then created an actions layer and created clasic tween wher I want the user to be able to click.My problem is I cant get it working. I think I am not referencing the right objects.[code]I have tried setting the object reference to the motion tween instance name, the classic tween name on the actions layer and the symbol name none seem to work

View 1 RepliesI currently use some code to break down a multidimensional array into a simple string like this:
Code:
var mapStr:String;
for ( var i:int=0; i < outArr.length; i++ ) {
for ( var j:int=0; j < outArr[i].length; j++ ) {

I want to be able to reconstruct the array from the string output from that.
i'm getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
I have encoded a video to make a .flv for my site, I want to add a simple pause/play toggle button for the flv, does anyone know what code I need to add to a button to get it to work? I don't want to use the default skins and can't seem to find away to get it to pause / play??

To start - its best to say im new to Flex / OOP in general. I have been trying to add a custom class based on StrokedElement in order to implement a simple grid (not like the existing Flex Grids - this would just be for display - not holding elements etc...)
My current class looks like this:
package ui.helpers {
import flash.display.Graphics;
import spark.primitives.supportClasses.StrokedElement;
public class SGrid extends StrokedElement {
public function SGrid() {

I have an application performing a simple calculation of adding and subtracting a amout to/from a balance amount.The problem is that every thing works fine except that when i remove the lkast amout from the balance ie: 15.25 -15.25 suppose i get something like -5.32907051820075e-15
View 2 RepliesThis is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.
[Code]...
Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".
To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

I would like to dinamically create array variables, depending on a XML file. The problem I have is that I don't know how to create them dinamically using a name I have constructed into a string variable. What I would like is something like this:
var strVarName;
...
strVarName = "Var" + i;
var strVarName = new Array();
...
So I would have n arrays called Var1, Var2, ... Varn.

I use an swf file to play short flv files on a web page. I write the embed/object tags into a dynamic web page using php and understand how to pass the relevent parameters to the swf file. As a complete flash scripting dummy, I don't know how to get the variable into the flash script or how to use it once it is there. At the moment I create a new swf file for each movie I want to display and write the file name into the script as below. how to get the file name into the script below using FlashVars or a query string in the html.

I meant to call it "Convert a value to a variable". Using CS3, AS2: If I have a variable that's a string value = the name of another variable, can I extract the value and then look for the extracted value's matching variable name to get it's value?
Ex:
color = "blue"
box = "color"
(Assuming I don't know the value of box) How would I get the value of "box" out so I could search for the value "color" as if it were a variable? I need to convert a value to a variable name is what i'm getting at... I think.
I have recently moved from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and I am trying to get to grips with event handling. I am managing for things like key presses and mouse clicks
I am successfully tracing a string as either "login successful" or "login unsuccessful" from a PHP file on a local host and it traces as working in my Login class. Now I want to listen for the "login successful" string, currently tracing in my Login class and if it works, call an EventHandler in my Main class which will execute the next step.
Here's my code so far
PHP Code:
private function onLogin(e:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);

View 4 RepliesI have a dynamic text box called "tbNotes".I need to be able to see if the text box contains a website address. If it does contain a website address, I need to have a movieclip called "hilight" appear over that text.I have been messing around with this for a while but can't figure out how to search the text box to see if it contains "www." Then if it finds the "www." then make the "hilight" moviclip visible and start at the x position of the first w and the width end at the end of ".com".
