ActionScript 3.0 :: Turning A String Into Code?
Nov 14, 2009
I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners. I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:
[Code]...
I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)

I found this code to turn strings into a movieClipInstanceName that exists within a known movieclip.
Code:
// CREATE THE STRING
var newString:String = "movieClipInstanceName";
//CHANGE THE ALPHA OF THE MOVIECLIP TO 0
this[newString].alpha = 0;
However, when using this code for a movieclip within a known movieclip...
Code:
mc1.this[newString].alpha = 0;
...or...
Code:
this["mc1"].this[newString].alpha = 0;
I get this error...
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
Code:
this["mc1." + newString].alpha = 0;
...throws this error...
Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I have some html code that is for a button in html that when pressed sends you to a certain url but also somehow adds an 'id value' and a 'website value'.
How can I convert this code and or put it into a flash button?
Disregard the gif info...that's just for the html graphic that goes for the button.

sometimes Flash Authoring colors my actionscript inappropriately. for example: i have custom variable that i've named "closeButton". closeButton does not reference any of the official classes yet it always colored blue as an identifier. i'm assuming it's referencing some internal, private variable from some class in the frameworks. is it possible to remove the color for specific identifiers?

I am making a pretty basic flash game using AS3, its a 'fill in the blank' type. I think I basically have this code figured out, but I think I need a string variable for the 'word' part, but I've never coded that before, so I was looking for some guidance on that topic. Here is the code I have right now[code]...

I have a for loop generating a string that needed to be executed as code.
var new_content_string:String = content_string.slice( 0, -1 ); // After generating my string, I slice the last letter.content_txt.htmlText = HERE // Here is the place I want to execute my string

is there a way to execute code that is stored in a string?(i guess the operation would look something like this)
var myCode:String = "{trace('Hello');trace('World')}";
var myFunction = myCode as Function;
myFunction();

i think u can do it via XML and the CustomFunctions methods in flash... but id rather do it all in flash if possible. what i want to do is to treat a string as a line of code.
Code:
actV="trace('Red')"
someButton.onPress=function(){
actV.toCode()
}

Basically, I would like to expose the interface of some Flash code via a textField. I can easily tokenize the string and get the method name and use eval to call the method. I am having trouble collecting the parameters and handing them to the method.[code]...

Since Action Script is an interpreted language, and it is clear by decompiling animations that the code is still in there, is there any function that lists the code of a function or class as a string?asically, I want to create a suite of components for developers that lets them make modifications to or at least view the code behind a component while the animation is running, and that way make it easier to find bugs, instead of having to stop the animation, dig up the code for that class, and recompile it. It would be even handier if it was possible to edit code while the code was running, so the next time Flash encounters that code, it will instead run the new code. Yes, if used unwisely, that could cause a lot of problems, but the benefit outweighs the risk, and that feature is used in such development environments such as Visual Studio.
Likely, the only solution to that would be to give each class a "code" variable, likely a String. Then when the users click the button to view that certain source, it checks for the "code" variable and displays the contents. The problem is that you have to remember to update the variable each and every time Perhaps I can write an extension for FlashDevelop that does that automatically? It could just update that variable at compile time.

i've read a tutorial about passing variables to HTML. But this tutorial isnt clear for me.. [URL] EXAMPLE 1 Using Query String to Maximize Code Reuse I really dont have an idea what to do inside flash, bec the author only said: Quote: Assuming the image filename is image1.jpg, located at a folder named images. And assuming that the Flash movie will use a variable named imageFilename to refer to the file, then we can do this
How do I do that? Like having a empty movie clip and giving an instance name of imageFilename?

I have converted Actionscript to Javascript. There are 5 functions with the same code.Everything must become a string in order to replace the code from the function1().
function2() { function1.toString().slice(function1.toString().indexOf("if"), function1.toString().lastIndexOf("}")).split("[0]").join("[1]");
}
In Actioncript, we can use this[my_string] to convert string back to byteArray or something like that Javascript must surely have a method to convert string back to code right.

I have swf that loads xml from a folder. I want to copy that XML string and hard code it into flash as an entire string. Then dim my xml object equal to that string. Is this possible? Reasoning is because I don't want people duplicating the swf and chaning the xml to create a whole new object. I don't want to have to manualy enter each question and answer and value into the arrays. That's to time consuming.
AS2 code to load the XML:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = "<myxml>My XML STRING HARD CODED HERE?</myxml>";
var questionXML:Array = new Array();
function loadXML(loaded) {

give me the Regular Expression that can check if a given string has any HTML code in it, and coming to think of it I would be bothered with <a href="something">something</a> exactly.

i'd like to do something like this:
[Code]...
of course i could hardcode that - but if I then change something about the as file, the linenumbers won't be correct anymore, or maybe i rename the as file and so on. It'd be great to be able to create that string somehow using compiler directives. Is this Possible in an AIR application created with ActionScript 3.0?

I'm building a survey in flash and I have multiple movie clips that cover the entire work area and are layered on top of each other, cycling through them (page to page) by tweening alpha on/off. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks except for the fact the buttons. While I can not see them, my cursor still turns into a hand if I happen to scroll over them.I've tried using, useHandCursor = false; and buttonMode = false; without any luck. Can anyone tell me how these commands work or can you tell me how you cycle multiple pages in the same flash file?

I have downloaded Lee Brimlows (gotoandlearn.com) tooltip example and I am trying to modify it so I can turn Tool tips on and off.
I have managed to come up with the function that turns them off,
b5.onPress = function()
{
unloadMovie(tooltip);
}
how to turn them back on with the click of a button.
I have tried
b6.onRelease
{
_parent.loadMovie("tooltip");
}
Code is listed below
tooltip._visible = false;
var tipInt;
b1.onRollOver = function() {

This code is on the opening frame of one of my Flash files:
Code:
var myConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
myConnection.connect("rtmp://fvss.playstream.com/fvssod/myclient");
var myStream:NetStream = new NetStream(myConnection);
myVideo.attachVideo(myStream);
myStream.play("iLoveLALong");
It starts this song "iLoveLALong" as background music. Works great. But now I need to turn the music off when I jump to another frame in the Flash doc. Can anyone suggest code that will do that, either with frame code or button code?
