ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access Variable That Was Declared Outside Function

Feb 1, 2010

I have a problem accessing a variable which is to store a frame label. Code has been shortened to relevant parts. The following is on the main timeline.

PHP Code:

stop();var nextSection:String = "";buttonContainer.aboutUs.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveButtonsForContent);function moveButtonsForContent (evt:MouseEvent):void {if

[code]....

I have a movieclip called "sections" which loads different sections of the website.When the first section is clicked thencontainerCenter is true and the evt.target.name is loaded in to the nextSection variable.Now if a 2nd section is clicked then containerCenter is false. It plays the sections movieclip. Within that movieclip it will eventually play and come to the following script:

PHP Code:

gotoAndPlay(nextSection);

For some reason it won't pick up the variable "nextSection" within the movieclip. I'm getting the error message "Access of undefined property nextSection". It has no problem when it is in the main timeline.I know you can't access a variable declared inside a function, but I have it declared outside the function as you can see above. I've just amended the variable from within the function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Local Variable (Never Declared Before)

Apr 24, 2009

I work with FlashDevelop, Flex SDK and FP10 debug. I am able to access a local variable (xcorner) which is never declared before, at the condition that it must be declared after... in an "if" for instance. If I remove the declaration of xcorner, within the if, errors occur at compilation, but otherwise it works.

PHP Code:
public function pushShape2Pool(name:String, sh:Shape, rotAngle:Number = 0):int{
[...]
// xcorner is NEVER declared before !!!
coordSprites[0] = new Rectangle(xcorner, 0, globalBmp.width, globalBmp.height);
trace("xcorner=" + xcorner); // display 0
xcorner += globalBmp.width;

Actionscript 3.0 :: Grab A Variable That Is Declared In My Root SWF?

Mar 12, 2009

I'm trying to access Flashvars that I declare in my HTML from a SWF that gets loaded after an intro animation.

I am able to access one of my Flashvars in the opening SWF just fine, but when the next SWF loads, I'm unable to access my Flashvars.

HTML Code Snippet: Code: Select all<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject2.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swffit.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfaddress.js"> </script>[code].......

Am I not targeting it properly?Alternatively, I've tried storing the flashvars URL in a variable in my root SWF and accessing it from the loaded SWF, but I can't seem to grab it. How would I grab a variable that is declared in my root SWF?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Variables Declared In Frame In Classes?

Oct 1, 2009

If we have declared some variables on a particular frame, say frame 20 in the actionscript coding window, can we use these variables defined on a frame in a class? Is there something like a global variable which must be declared to do this?The class extends to movieClip and it has been encapsulated by a movieClip which is then put on the stage to run it when the corresponding frame plays.

Actionscript 3 :: Get A Reference To An Alchemy Asm Declared Variable Into Flash?

Mar 28, 2011

i have a variable declared in alchemy asm:

asm("var buffer:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>(100, true);");

i can populate it with data like so:

asm("buffer[%0] = %1;" : : "r"(index) : "r"(value));

what i can't figure out is how to get a reference of that asm "buffer" variable into actionscript.

(i did think of one way... what i did was to throw the "buffer" from alchemy asm, and then catch it in actionscript, but unfortunately it seems to leak a lot of memory).

is there a better alternative to doing this?

note that performance is critical, and using default alchemy marshaling is way too slow.

Flash :: Accessing A Variable Declared In Fla From Document Class?

May 24, 2011

On the stage I have a movieclip by the name of rect_mc. Inside it have have a MovieClip square_mc.In the time line that I get when I double click on rect_mc (timeline of rect_mc) I have written the following code

var width1:Number;
width1 = sqaure_mc.width;

How can I access width1 from the document class?The thing that I want to is access the variable declared (width1) in the timeline of rect_mc. Just for the sake of a example only I choose the width of MovieClip.My doubt is how can access a variable declared inside the timeline of rect_mc from the document class. It could be any variable.My document class is:

import flash.display.MovieClip[code]....

ActionScript 2.0 :: X And Y Coords Of A Movie Clip Declared In A Variable?

Nov 25, 2004

How come this PHP Code:

function drop (thumbClip, xCoord, yCoord) {
thumbClip._x = xCoord;
thumbClip._y = yCoord;
trace (thumbClip);
trace (xCoord);
trace(yCoord);


receives the variables (specified in a later function) and traces them all right, but refuses to deposit the variable thumbClip in the x and y coordinates being specified?

I replaced thumbClip with a specific movie clip, and the fucntion worked perfectly. Does this mean Flash cannot use variables to set the x and y coords to?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Since The Variable Was Declared Without Reference Into The Class How Long Does It Stay In Flash's Memory

May 12, 2009

I was thinking about how to streamline my code the other day and looked through my classes checking for possible memory leaks. I wonder when are variables declared inside of methods clear for garbage collection? or are they not and just hang around? For instance if I have a class like this:

Since the variable was declared without reference into the class how long does it stay in Flash's memory, or does it stay indefinitely because it cannot be nullified?
