ActionScript 3.0 :: Variable Timer Functions
Mar 2, 2009I am trying get a timer function that I can change the interval on? IE. I invoke the function for 5 frames and the last one I want to have a different delay time. It seems that for each action I have to create multiple listeners and multiple functions for? Surely there is a way, without producing a class, that I can just chaneg the timedelay? But, AS3 wants to declare the time before the function.

Nov 10, 2010I want to be able to set variable tween parameters, but I know its not always good to set variables within functions. For example:
function clickHandler(MouseEvent){
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(object, "width", Strong.EaseOut, 1, variableWidth, 1, true);
myTween.start();
}
Is this the only way to do it, or can I change myTween parameters within the function without declaring a new tween each time?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Repeating Functions - Variable Won't Change
Oct 21, 2009I'm trying to repeat a function that basically will attachmovie on a "tileset", an image depending on the parameter. It's called AddID(i), and currently there's only 2 valid options, 0 and 1, images showing, X and O. There's a Button, and theres an array and a function that shows an image of the tile depending on its ID value loaded from the array.
My problem is: Everything works just great as if you repeat the function by clicking again, but... When repeating the function by code, all the tiles will have the Image of the last tile added.

Jun 30, 2011I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Math Functions - Starting Variable Status Strength With 10
Apr 23, 2011I am learning AS3 and I try to remake an SimDate game. I have studies the functions and the Steps of the game and now I try to make the Functions myself.
I have 5 Attributes:
Strength
Knowledge
Charm
Health
Dollars
For each of them I have defined a variable. Now I need to make an math function. If I want to raise str:
statusstrenght = statusstrenght + addstr
This code is not the original. My other code is down below. I only wanted to show the process.
addstr == Math.random() *5
I wanted that the variable statusstrenght starts with 10. If I press the train Strenghtbutton the action addstr will be started and updates the statusstr with the new value. That's what I had in mind but I cant define the new value off statusstrenght + addstr. Do I have to add a new variable with newstatusstrenght or can I just overwrite the value of statusstrenght if I press the train strength button ?
Here is the code. The math functions aren't working. It is AS3.
import flash.events.*;
var statusstrenght:Number = 10;
var statusknowledge:Number = 10;
var statuscharme:Number = 10;
var statushealth:uint = 100;
var statusdollar:uint = 100;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Variable Data From An External XML File And Dynamically Displays The Item Names In A Menu - Arrays - Functions
May 18, 2005I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.
I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Class's Static Functions From A Variable Of Type Class?
Feb 19, 2010I realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Vs Include - Basic Functions To Be In BasicFunctions.as And The Make A Library For More Specific Functions
Jun 6, 2010I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mimicing The Until Functions - Load Of Global Functions In One File?
Nov 4, 2009I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?

Flash - Add Functions To Playerglobal.swc Or Allow Compiler To Pass Own Functions
Oct 25, 2011Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
