String :: Flex - Download A String Variable As A File To The Local Machine?
Sep 21, 2011I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?
Mar 7, 2012how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change String Variable To A MovieClip Variable?
Oct 10, 2008I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
ActionScript 3.0 :: String Variable In Place Of Int Variable?
Jan 2, 2012This is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.
[Code]...
Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".
To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A String As A Key In An External Call?
Apr 1, 2009I am having an issue using a string as a key in an external call. Here's what's going down.I recieve an XML document, which gives me a list of ID's that refer to other objects in the database. When I pass that ID in as URLVariable, the backend doesn't recognize it and returns nothing.Say the ID was 124. I tried passing the string "124" as the key, and it worked, returning the proper resource. Confused, i do the following
Code:
trace(xml.id__ == "124"); // returns true
getResource(xml.id__); // returns nothing
getResource("124"); // returns correct resource
I know there are issues with using == as a comparator, but since it's returning true I figured it sees them both as the string "124" -- but why would it not work? I also tried String(xml.id__), Number(xml.id__), and some other stuff.

Flash :: Call String Or Integer From Another Function?
Oct 16, 2011I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment.

But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.

Jan 29, 2011I'm wondering if its possible in flash to be able to call a static class function via its name as a string. I know for you're usual case you can do this to call the function 'func'
Code:
this["func"]();
func():void
{

}
However I'm wanting to do this from another static function and in a static function you obviously can't use the 'this' keyword. I've tried just omitting it, or replacing it with the class name but neither work.

Test Length Of String And Call Function Depending On Result
Sep 29, 2009I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.

Javascript :: Returning A Byte String To ExternalInterface.call Throws An Error?
Jan 21, 2010I am working on my open source project Downloadify, and up until now it simply handles returning Strings in response to ExternalInterface.call commands.
I am trying to put together a test case using JSZip and Downloadify together, the end result being that a Zip file is created dynamically in the browser, then saved to the disk using FileReference.save. However, this is my problem:
The JSZip library can return either a base64 encoded string of the Zip, or the raw byte string. The problem is, if I return that byte string in response to the ExternalInterface.call command, I get this error:
Error #1085: The element type "string" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</string>"
ActionScript 3:
var theData:* = ExternalInterface.call('Downloadify.getTextForSave',queue_name);
Where queue_name is just a string used to identify the correct instance in JS.
JavaScript:
var zip = new JSZip();
zip.add("test.txt", "Hello world!
");
var content = zip.generate(true);
return content;
If I instead return a normal string instead of the byte string, the call works correctly.I would like to avoid using base64 as I would have to include a base64 decoder in my swf which will increase its size.
Finally: I am not looking for a AS3 Zip generator. It is imperative to my project to have that part run in JavaScript
