ActionScript 3.0 :: Simple Pad String Function?
May 29, 2011
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
[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.

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.

I 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++ ) {
[Code]....
I want to be able to reconstruct the array from the string output from that.

I was wondering if this concept is doable:
Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)
Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)
every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:
if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....
this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc
"playbutton1"._visible=false;
doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.

I have been searching the net for a tutorial how to graph functions. I found one from Barbara Kaskosz, very detailed, and too much scripting. Too much for me. Is there another way or place to learn, or I am doomed, and have to face the music and study her stuff. All I want, is to be able to graph a simple function.

Well I'm so close to understanding why this doesn't work. First here is the code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,updateGame);
var gameZoneContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(gameZoneContainer);
[Code]......
If I place "fish_mc" in place of "Items[createItemCounter]", the fish animates but the cookie doesn't. If I put "cookie_mc" instead of "Items[createItemCounter]", the cookie animates but the fish doesn't.

For each product a label is created determing its category unless a label of that category has already been created before. My while loop is supposed to stop the same label being created twice but apparently it doesnt! My function consists of an array of categories (kategorie[]) and an array of labels that were previously created (previousLabels).

I'm modifying an mp3 player by flabell, and try to get some buttons to work. However, I can't seem to get the getURL to work, even though it works in other parts of the script. This is my code:
mc.rate1.onRelease = function() {
trace(this.ID);
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The trace goes through fine. Here is the code that works:
Code:
private function downloadRelease(mc : MovieClip) : Void {
var title : String = mc._name;
var index : Number = Number(title.substring(title.lastIndexOf("n")+1,title.length));
getURL(songsSource[index], Main.getInstance().mcAlbums.linksTarget);
}
I'm on a mac with firefox.

basically i have a mc that i want to use as a button.
frame 1 is the initial state with a stop() action on it. frame 10 is the full rolled over state, also with a stop() action on it, and frame 20 matches frame 1.
so basically i want the button to animate frame 1-10 if they rollover, and animate frame 11-20 when they roll off. i would also like it to detect the current frame, so like if the user rolls off and rolls back on at frame 15, it will play backwards to the mouseover state (frame 10).

create a button, create a movie clip with two frames.
place a button instance in frame 2.
place a mc instance on the stage.
create another instance of the button to change the movie clip instance to frame two.
the button in the movie clip is pressed and executes a function.
here's the code
Code:
// create the button to show the button!
_root.button_instance_2.onPress = function() {
buttonClick1();
[Code].....
if, however, i use the same code on a movie clip that has only one frame it will work fine. do i need to tell the function to target the button instance any more specifically than that?

This seems like a simple problem but I can't seem to figure it out. If I use this standard code from the reference:

the video streams fine, but if I put the exact same code within a function like this:

I made 5 buttons on the stage. When these buttons are clicked I want to show AND hide items related to the buttons. Is there a way to "toggle" a simple button so that when it is cliked the first time it shows the object, clicked a second time it hides the object using the same function? In other words, is there a property of a simple button that changes state?

I am trying to combine TweenLite with some of my own functions. Now for testing I have this:
Code:
function playGeb(indG):Void {
if (indG < 8) {
clearInterval(restartG);
gebArr[indG].play();
[Code] .....
but after the arrow is in place the function hello() isn't been called.
I already tried adding, onCompleteScope:this
TweenLite.to(arrow_mc, 0.3 , {_x:118,_y:30,onComplete:hello , onCompleteScope:this});

just wondering why this isn't working :
Code:
var nav:Boolean = true;
var element:String = "home"; [code]....
Its so that a menu will move right across the screen if the variable is true, and if its false, it'll move left back to its original position.... i achieved this using a motion tween and telling the mc to go to the frame and play, but that didn't work in the end because if the menu bar was on the left side, and it was told to move to the left, then it would disappear,and appear on the other side.... so in other words it screwed up

Is there any way that you can pass a string to a function and use its value as the variable name you wish to change. For example.
Code:
var text:String = "Goodbye World";
function myfunction ( varToChange)
{
varToChange = "Hello World";
}
myfunction("text")

I'm trying to create a simple xml search function that searches an xml file for a string, and if that string is found in the xml, display the node which contains that string in a text box.I have the simple search function working, but what I can't do is return the specific node. Right now, the function is returning all the xml data instead. If someone could take a look and possibly lend some guidance as to how to return the specific daya, I would be much oblidged. Hope this makes sense, if not, let me know and I'll do my best to clarify.[code]
