I want to find out which type an object has. Therefore I thought of the 'switch' statement, but how would you do that? The following code does not work, but you will get the point of what I want to do.
Code:
switch (object) {
case is String:
trace("string");
case is Array:
trace("array");
[Code] ....
Sequence of events:2 SWFs running entirely separately load the same library class then load the same XML and save an attribute as a property (PS) of an Object (ob)It's then parsed through a switch statement like this:
PHP Code:
switch(String(ob.PS)){ case 'TW': d='ThumbsW/'; break; case 'TH': d='ThumbsH/'; break;//...... etc
So the classes are idential in both situations, only the loading swf changes.In one case it needs ob.PS to be typed as a string (as shown - else it drops to the default).In the other case it does NOT need ob.PS to be typed as a string!Same class, same switch statement, parsing same data (loaded from XML) yet behaving very differently!
Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:

I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

View 7 RepliesI have the following in my script:[code]where eProp is an Array.Tracing the eProp[3], shows the correct number (1 or 2) but the statement always jumps to the default part!In other words: If eProp[3] is 1 or 2, the switch do nothing, jumps to default.[code]What is wrong? AS can't evaluate Arrays? Or I did something wrong?

Working on a game where I load the level details from a XML file. In the XML file I list of the names of characters that I want to show on the screen; i.e. Snoop, Kilerz, Matts, etc.In my FLA file I have MovieClips that are named Snoop, Kilerz, Matts, etc.Currently I do this in my Character function:[code]so I can eliminate the switch statement as I have about 15 characters. When I use the new this[charId] I get the following error (for charId = "Snoop":error: Error #1069: Property Snoop not found on Character and there is no default value.

does anyone know if declaring new variables within a switch statement (inside of case: break actually creates new variables inside those switch statements, or are the variable declarations moved to the top of the function when compiled?
i know that when declaring new variables inside a for or while loop, the compiler declares those variables at the beginning of the function. is it the same for if or switch statements?
This is really hard to explain. Probably because its late and I am now totally confused and lost. Check out this page [URL] I want A, B, C, D, E all drag-able. when D is dragged B should mirror D's position X and Y plus E should follow D's X position, This works, try it. The opposite, When B is dragged, D should mirror B, and E should follow B's X, NOT working

I am trying to create a Flash styled shopping cart to integrate into my website. When the "Add to Cart" button is clicked, i am displaying the corresponding text down the side of the stage. However I need a "Total Price" Dynamic text field to display the Total price of all items clicked!I am new to flash and it's proving very difficult to me, as the only way i could think of doing this is creating Boolean variables with all the items and if "add to cart" had been clicked Boolean = True... But how do I code the addition of prices? and cater for all the variations that are possible?

I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.
If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
ActionScript Code:

var sH:Number;

I have a menu movieclip and an externally loaded swf on my main stage. The menu mc needs to control the externally loaded swf. For example the swf plays and pauses, then when any of the menu buttons are clicked the swf needs to play thru and be removed. currently I am dispatching an event for each button clicked with a switch statement. In the main timeline I need to listen for each of theses events and based on what button is clicked proceed to the correct content frame. How can I listen for different events and run one function that based on which event is registered perform a task with a switch or if statement?
