Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?

Mar 7, 2012

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?

Is there a way to access a variable via a String? Something like this:

This is obviously doesn't work (and in this case pointless), but is there a way to do this?

Xml :: Flex - Access The Value Of An Attribute Using A String Variable?

Aug 1, 2011

Using e4x in flex:

var attr : String = "foo";
var xml : XML =
<resultSet>
<node foo="1"/>
</resultSet>;

How can I use the variable "attr" to access

xml.node.@foo

I thought I could do it with

xml.node.@[attr]

But this doesn't seem to work. How can I access this attribute by a dynamic value like this?

Both

xml.node.@[attr];

and

xml.node.attribute(attr);

work, as Constantiner suggested.

Updates:

Say I have an XMLList in this form:

var bar:XML =
<resultSet>
<node>value</node>
</resultSet>;

I want to filter the original xml above by matching "foo" attributes with the "value" from node in bar.

Essentially I want a sublist of the original xml such that

xml.node.@foo == bar.value

for each xml row in the original value

As Constantiner mentioned, I can filter the original list by the value in foo, but what if I want to filter on multiple values?

Can I do something like:

xml.node.(bar.node.contains(attribute(foo)) ? attribute(foo) : null);

Or perhaps a cleaner method instead of the null?

I'm trying to make children of a tile and put them in their respective locations.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Variable String Is Wiped When Starting A New Function

Apr 2, 2009

I have 5 links that exist as one large font and four small fonts. The large one dictates the current page and the smaller ones are links to other pages, which become the large font if they are clicked to dictate they are now the new page. When a link is small font link is clicked, it activates 3 tween animations for presentations sake, all dont in actionscript 2. The small font ._y is placed at the bottom of the page and swoops back up. The current large font ._y swoops down and, over this, the newly selected page large font swoops up to replace the previous large font.

I have tried specifying what the current page is in a new object variable so that is is remembered for when a new link (small font) is clicked. However, whenever a new function is started it seems to wipe out the current value of the object, so it cannot pass on what the current page is. Here is the code (I posted this earlier in the newbies section but think it's more suited to this forum, please delete the earlier post if necessary, sorry):

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Variable Outside Of Function?

Jan 28, 2010

function loadHandler only runs one time .. since it runs only once it makes it very difficult for me to do anything with.I can only access the variable "myClip" inside of the function.... if I could access it outside of the function I would be able to write some if statements.Basically what I am trying to do ... is the first time this script runs ... I don't want "myClip.gotoAndPlay(2);" to run. Every other time this frame of code runs .. it wont run the function a second time. So I need to somehow tell it every time it runs after the first time to run the code myClip.gotoAndPlay(2);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Function Receive Variable And Search String In Array

Jul 22, 2009

I have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.

This is the script:
public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean {
trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName));
if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;

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 :: Change String Variable To A MovieClip Variable?

Oct 10, 2008

I 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?).

String :: Use Objects.function If Objectsname Is Taken From String?

Feb 6, 2012

I was wondering if this concept is doable:

Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)

Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)

every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:

if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....

this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc

"playbutton1"._visible=false;

doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.
