What are rules for legal variables names?ie: A-Za-z0-9, hyphen, underscore, etc. must start with an alpha at least n characters, no longer than n characters, etc.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering what the rules are for declaring variables which you would increment say in an for loop. I tried to declare a variable outside the for loop, and then increment it within the loop but that didn't work.

View 2 RepliesThe thing is, I create a grid on the screen, and each of its element is given a name. The question is, how can I access those specific grid's fields by their names? Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
private function drawGrid():void
{
var startX:uint = 0;

Now, If I wanted to remove, for instance, the box of the 13th row and the 25th column, how can I do that?
Is there a way to get the names of variables from a flash game? I have been playing with my players health with the code;
javascript:document.embeds[0].SetVariable("_root.player.intHP", 0)
I am looking for a way to find out the rest of the variables, like damage and such.
If I have a MovieClip called parent_mc and inside it I have another called child1_mc, I can use a variable for the "1" part of child1_mc and change the alpha for example like this:
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:Number = 1;
parent_mc['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
What is the right syntax to use if child1_mc is not actually a child of anything and just sits on the stage? I have tried the following and it didn't work:
ActionScript Code:
['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
and I tried:
ActionScript Code:
stage['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
That didn't work either.
if i have mc duplicated or an object instance name thats stored inside a variable how can i call it? for ex: _root.mov1._x = 53; What if i want instead of mov1 a variable name. lets say randomname is a var and it holds the name of a duplicated object with a name i dont know since its random. now how can i call it just like the example above cause i tried
_root.varname._x=33; but it thought varname was an instance name instead of var.
There's a way to get the instance name of objects/symbols for variables and use this in actions and/or functions?
View 4 RepliesSo, I have something like..
Code:
select = ("block" + number);
trace(select._currentframe);
number++;
This is because I have 5 movieclips named block1, block2, etc. However, it returns undefined. When I directly state the instance name, like:
Code:
trace(block1._currentframe);
It works. How do I use variables as instance names?

I would like to make an Object that has key names taken from a variable. Probably this is not clear enough, so let me make an example.
I have two variables var str1:String = 'firstKey'; and str2:String = 'secondKey';
How can I make an object that would look like:
var obj:Object = {firstKey: 'some value', secondKey: 'some other value'}, note that firstKey and secondKey are values of variables str1 and str2.
Doing obj = {str1: 'some value', str2: 'some other value'} does not yield a result that I would like
i want to query about a point here,
Now, When i make a loop for example a "for" loop
ActionScript Code:
var i:int;
for (i=0;i<4;i++){
// Looping Code For 4 Times
}
in the looping code, when i use a variable, for example "myVar"
Can i make the variable name be "myVar0" in the first time looping, and the name be "myVar1" in the second time looping, and so on ..
I can't create new variables within a for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) {
var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite();
}
This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.
What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.
Still learning how to use for loops, I want to set a huge range of Boolean Variable to false. like:
var met0:Boolean = false;
var met1:Boolean = false;
var met2:Boolean = false;
etc... etc...
how can I dynamically name variables inside a for loop and set its data type? I know how to with movieclips but can't get it to work with variables
I have created movie clips using loops that names them box1, box2, box3.... via = i + 1;duplicateMovieClip (_root.box, "box" + i, i);but i then want to edit a textbox which is rooted inside each movie but related to the movieclip just produced. so if box1 had just been produced then:box1.textbox.text = " E cell = +j+"V";is done so effectively i am looking to do: box+i.textbox.text = " E cell = "+j+"V";

I am using the tween class to change the alpha value of a MC upon rollOver and rollOut. To refine the effect, I assigned a variable to the MC's alpha value so if the mouse moves off the MC before it has reached 100% alpha, it wont start immediatly fading from 100%, but from the value it had reached before the user stopped the rollOver action. Unfortunately, when I leave my mouse over the MC until it goes to 100%, and then I wait a second or two, the alpha snaps back to 50% (the starting alpha value).I can't figure out why this keeps happening, but I have run into it with other projects and I surmise it is the way I am using the tween class. Below is the code I used to make this happen.To see the problem, here is a link to the compiled file:
// image 1 Set 2
groupA.group2.image1.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("main_resized/1.jpg", pictureHolder);

The question is about producing a learning package for users to improve their mathematical skills.One part of it is for times tables. So the user will enter their name and then a question will appear e.g. "What is 6 X 9?" The user then inputs their answer and the system will compare and process the input, storing the incorrect and correct responses and then giving a final score at the end.The question is to; identify the names of the likely variables and processes required for the system generation of a question and the subsequent processing of the user's response.(10 marks)Then it asks to write some pseudo-code to describe 10 consecutive question/response activities and their final results showing their name too. (15 marks)

how to use setStyle() for style attributes defined for a CSS class, but how can I change compound styles via actionscript? For example, my TabBar uses the following CSS style as part of the selected tab definition:

I want to have a color defined at runtime, using setStyle() seems to be a solution there. Just don't know how to delve that deep in the levels of the CSS structure.
I feel like MVC misses a letter to describe the situation in a game. The model to me seems to consist of two distinct parts:
A group of vars that describe the current game state (these will have setters that send out events on change, and getters so that the view can access what changed)
The rules of the game that determine what happens once a certain input (i.e. shoot();) has been received by the controller (these will update the group of vars as deemed appropriate)
The view will exclusively be reading from 1 while the controller will be exclusively communicating with 2. This is why I make the distinction and want to divide them up into class1 and class2.
My questions:
I am unsure if I should be making this distinction, since I haven't seen it anywhere. If I should; should I make two separate classes, or should I extend class1 with class2? Finally, I am having trouble making sure that only class2 (and not the view) can change the variables in class1 (while still being able to send out an event when a value changes).
FDT can do it, but half the time it times out and needs to be restarted on renaming some objects. Can Flash Builder do this?
View 1 Repliesrecently been dealing with a problem where outsiders have been able to hijack our Windows 2003 server based Flash Media Server 4 default livestream access point and bounce pirated television content over it. Currently am running this on a campus network and thought I had it locked down so that all incoming port 1935 requests must originate from campus and outgoing streams are served everywhere. This is sort of working, but it is also stopping legitimate traffic from streaming video to off campus visitors. If anyone can shed a light on how to setup my firewall rules that would be great, as I am stumped. Here is the list of how I've setup the rules (not using our real IP's for protection):
Campus is a class B network, everything is based off of 123.123.X.X
Server sits on 123.123.1.2
Port/rulename Rule Local Port Local IP Remote IP Remote Port
Port 80 Allow TCP/UDP 80 ANY ANY ANY
Streaming out Allow TCP/UDP OUT 1935 ANY ANY ANY <--this rule is supposed to allow all
[code]....
I've tried swf verify but thats easy to circumvent, nor can I get the allowhttpdomains options to work properly as it wants real names and not IP numbers.
