I have a string variable with definition I need to use as a variable name.
For example, this is super simplified:
var newVariable = 'it is working';
var partOne:String = 'new';
var partTwo:String = 'Variable';
[Code].....
Instead of tracing partThree as literally partOne + partTwo (which traces "newVariable") i'd like it to trace the Definition of partOne + partTwo (which is "it is working").
Any way that I could get a variable definition straight from a class (or some sort) without having to create an object and read it from the object. Basically I need to know a whether an object will have a specific true or a false variable definition but I don't need to create the object right away for anything else. It seems a bit of extra processing to create an object I may not use for sometime but just needed to know a true/false early on. I can give it the name of the class just hoping to bypass the object creation and hope garbage deletion will take care of it.
View 1 RepliesIn this game I'm creating I want to be able to add movie clips to the stage but give them instance names which will increment per clip.To give you an idea of what I mean, here is some sample code (which in my mind should work):

I just decompiled a .swf file and I am having a problem with this code
Code:
while (_loc_3 < _loc_13)
{
_loc_21 = _loc_11[_loc_3];[code]........
As you can see, what I want is just to make _loc_24.stabbingCount equal to _loc_25 or simply I want _loc_24.stabbingCount to have the same value as _loc_25 yet I am getting an error of a duplicate variable definition. Is there a possible to do this?
If I have the following AS3 code inside of a class:
PHP Code: [code]....
I get a "Duplicate variable definition" compiler complaint. Obviously I could declare the i variable once within the function call to avoid the issue, but I shouldn't have to. The first i should be out of scope before the second for loop begins.
I have a navigation bar movieclip that has the following EventListeners in symbol definition:

event.target.root.categoryName = "Transportation" <<<DOES NOT WORK}

I am facing a problem as Duplicate variable definition while compiling but it is not at all effecting my program.
Is there any way to remove compiler errors beacause it is coming every time when i run movie.
The code used to work fine but once I modified a text and a couple of lines from the script, I started having this "Duplicate variable definition." with a code totally unrelated with what I edited (I only edited the music player script that I was having problems with). The code I'm having problem goes like this:
var mufl:* = size + 0.2;
size = size + 0.2;
mufl0 = Math.sin(mufl) * 8 + 4;[code]....
I keep getting the error on the lins 1,2 and 3 (where the var is).The code uses some Math functions,etc... The main purpose of this code is to create a colorful waves (much like the the old Media Player 11 "Alchemy" visualization), but would change color and shapes everytime the user uses his mouse. The final purpose of this is to make a colorful, interactive music player for a online radio we are trying to build.
I've nearly completed my first ever game audio assignment in Flash but have one small error that comes up every timeThe error is: "Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 431Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition."The code is as follows with the offending line in bold:

View 2 RepliesI have the following loop:
Code:
var disabled = new Array('RB0','RC0');
for (var j = 0; j < disabled.length; j++ ) {
var d : MovieClip = getChildByName(disabled[j]) as MovieClip;
var tween:Tween = new Tween(d, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0.25, 2, true);
} // Fade disabled
In this case I have only two elements in the array but in fact I will have 70.I get the error on tween:
Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.
I want only to apply the tween not store it in a tween variable.
I have a class definition as file. In it a variable gets passed to into a function (parameters). Then I want to use the name of this function to swapDepths with another movieclip.
Code:
private function alphaZero(clipToSwap) {
trace(clipToSwap+"+clipToSwap");

I've recently switched to CS4 and AS3. There is a couple of nice features in AS3. However,the more I do hacking (certainly you can't call it programming) the more frustrated I'm with AS3.Here is the most stupid thing I found so far.
Put this code in:
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++)
{
[code].....
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I'm seeing that here's how I need to write a for loop: for (var i:uint = 0; i<10; ++i) { trace(i) }
However, when I go to make another for loop using "i", I get an error saying "1151: A conflict exists with definition i in namespace internal." and another saying "Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition". My assumption then is that I can only use "i" once in a for loop? Blech. Alternatively, I found that the old way of doing it (below) works just fine in AS3 and I can use I in multiple loops till the cows come home.
for (i = 0; i<10; ++i) { trace(i) }
I am being a bit puzzled on figure out how to release temporary identifiers to recycle them.For instances, suppose that I have 2 loops to instantiate dynamic mcs from library like this:
Code:
var zz:Number;
for (zz=0;zz<=4;zz++)[code]....
If I run this snippet of code, the compiler will complain and tell that I have a "Duplicate variable definition".I cannot understand why it doesnt complain when it is redefined five times within the first loop, and just complain because the second lop.Anyway, there is a way to release the _mc identifier then I can reuse it? I am an addicted to standartize names and recycle code...

I'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected.

I want to declare a variable on the main timeline that can be called from anywhere in my movie. So, _global var should be the right approach. I want to declare a movie clip 'MC1' "open", or "closed" so that when it is revisited, my flash file knows the user has been there before and performs a different task from the one it does when 'MC1' was first encountered. So, i need a 'if' statement to run from the variable, when the playhead encounters the movieClip.

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.

I'm still learning flash and actionscript 3 and i am having trouble with variable and object names. I need to be able to combine variable names together (in the same way as php can combine by doing var1.var2).
My swf contains 4 loaders (image1_loader, image2_loader etc..) which are a child of (image1_content, image2_content etc.....)
I then have 4 buttons which load an image into the loader and while doing so they define the currently active loader.
Finally i have 4 control buttons - scale up/down and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise which should only control the currently active loader (as set by the buttons above)[code]...
As we know whent here is no such variable of null value assignment to a variable or instance flash throws this kind of Error.In one of my Application i need to get more flashVariables, They may or maynot come as FLASHVARS. But when i miss any variable flash thows this error as an alert box. is there any simple solution to avoid this kind of issue
when i use try,Catch statement the issue will not come, But i don't like to write Bunch of try,catch statement for all this kind of variables.
I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

image2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrentSelection);
(and so on..)
function setCurrentSelection(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]...
So within the rotateClockwise and rotateAntiClockwise functions i need to be able to recognise which is the currently active loader and have that number instead of the X - so if it is image1_loader - it needs to be image1_content, if 4 - image4_content... I had tried to do it as this but it doesn't like it being a string:
rotateAroundCenter((activeLoader+'_content'), 10, ptR);
how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I'm making a platform game where all of my level components (ground, background etc.) are within an array called 'levelArray' so I can move all the elements the same amount at the same time. I'm just starting to implement my second level, and I need to change 'levelArray' to contain different level elements. I've tried to put an 'if' statement to change the definition of the variable:
