ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Flash From Concatenating Strings?

Jan 6, 2011

I have an external interface call which I need to pass several values to. Each value has an indentifier string and the value itself.

Code: ExternalInterface.call("submitIUR", answers +"promo", promo+ "url", nextUrl); The problem is that when I pass this through to the javascript function, flash concatenates the identifier strings. So for example if promo is 12345 when passed through the "url" indentifier gets tacked on the end so I get 12345url.

Is there an easy way to separate out the variables being passed through to stop the strings being tacked on to the variables?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Push Multiple Strings Into An Array, And Some Of The Strings Are The Same?

Aug 24, 2009

I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.

Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.

Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);

I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Get Node By Concatenating @ With String?

Oct 10, 2011

I need to get an XML node by using this syntax:

[pseudo code]
xml.node["subnode"].@string.children();
[real code where _xml is XML]
_xmlList:XMLList = _xml.cases["case"][@id == event.target._id].files.children();

And yes, case is a reserved word - therefore the brackets and quotes.

event.target._id is a string, but I can't seem to figure out how to concatenate the @ (at sign) with a string to get the attribute (or the node that corresponds to the attribute).

I've tried _xml.cases["case"].(@id == event.target._id).files.children();

But it doesn't work. How am I totally off in the wrong direction?

IDE :: Concatenating Text In Dynamic Field Of MovieClip

Dec 1, 2009

I'm writing a menu generating script. It's suppose to display arrays
and any inner arrays.
Ex:["test item",["item 1",["item 2","item 3"]],"item 4"];

These movie clips should be displayed if the actionscript is correct.:
test item
item 1 <---this of course, has a following subarray
item 4
and the submenu should display:
item 2
item 3

I run the script and it see's the inner array items ["item 2", "item 3"] and shows them in the next submenu -FINE---but what I get in the main menu to my surprise is 'run-on text' in the Dynamic field of that movieclip. ex:
test item
item 1; item 2; item 3 <---? seems to concatonate inner items in text field
item 4

I only want to see text "item 1" ....not the items associated with it as well.
(they are already displayed in submenu)

Code:
for (var i = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
var menuItemName = "mc_menu_item_" + i;
if (typeof(menuArray[i]) == "object") {
this["mc_menu_box"].attachMovie("h_menu_middle_sub", menuItemName, tempLevel);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Concatenating Variables - End Up With PlaylistArray[0] Containing The String "playlistVariables. Track0"?

Jun 12, 2009

I'm having trouble getting the following to work:

I have declared an array "playlistArray" which will hold a series of track names (for an mp3 player.)I have declared a URLVariable "playlistVariables" which loads the data from an external text file.If I brute-force assign values from playlistVariables to playlistArray, everything works fine:

playlistArray[0] = playlistVariables.track0;

If I test this with trace(playlistArray[0]) I get the track name I am looking for. But obviously I don't want to brute-force assign all those values, I want to use a "for" loop:

for (var i:int = 0; i<maxTracks; i++) {
playlistArray[i] = ["playlistVariables.track"+(i)];
trace(playlistArray[i]);

When I do this,I end up with playlistArray[0] containing the string "playlistVariables. track0" rather than the value of playlistVariables.track0.

Flash - Lost Spaces In Strings With CSV To Array Function?

Oct 25, 2011

I am working with a function that converts csv data to a multi-dimentional array. I am then going through the characters to find specific situations in the way the strings are handled in the array. One example is if I have a string like - "this is a string, yeah" - then I make sure not to count the comma in the string because it is between quotes from that string. Anyhow In the following function I have some how lost my spaces in the results.Instead of getting "this is AS3" I am getting "thisisAS3". Spaces seem to only be available in the strings that have quotes.

function CSVtoArray(csv:String):Array {
var inQuotes:Boolean = false;

I want to have stars hanging by strings from the top of my flash document. if the user mouses over these stars I want the star to lightly swing in the direction the mouse went over at. Almost as if you had a cardboard star hanging from the ceiling and you tapped it with your hand. I know this probably includes friction but my tests don't seem to work out the way I want.

Actionscript :: Wildcard For Strings In E4X?

Jan 29, 2011

I'm trying to solve an Actionscript problem using E4X.I have an XML like this one:

<root>
<person firstname="john" lastname="doe" age="21" />
<person firstname="jayne" lastname="doe" age="35" />[code]....

I want to have just one function search() that takes three parameters (firstname, lastname, age) and return an XMLList. So the result could look like this:

var result:XMLList = xml..person.(@firstname == firstName && @lastname == lastName && @age == age );

But I don't want to use all three parameters all the time. I would like to have a function that uses a 'wilcard' if the parameter is NULL. So if the wildcard would be "*" the function could look like:

searchPerson( firstName:String ="*", lastName:String = "*" , age:String = "*") {...}

so that I would only pass 'John' for the firstName I'd get the first and the third node in return.
