How do I access varibles from within another function. For instance, I load some variables from a txt file and once loading is complete I assign some variables. The variables from the oncomplete function is the variables I want to use in another function.

I'm trying to achive the following, but it doesn't work..[code]
View 1 RepliesI don't understand why adobe set them up that way. As far as I can tell, all the setter does is change the value of the varible and nothing else. does anyone know why adobe set things up this way or what the x and y setter do other than changing the value of the varible?
View 7 RepliesI checked out some of the posts in this forum, but i don't think they are quite what I am looking for.I have a database which stores a lot of user information.I need to gain access to this database and pull certain info from it and then load it into flash.I thought the easiest way to do this would be to load the variables/arrays and declare them in the php, the forward the variables into the .swf (on tht page)
View 2 RepliesI am having problems with the
getcoord = xycoordMap[x][y].split(":");
xcoord = getcoord[0].toString();
ycoord = getcoord[1].toString();
xcoord0 = xcoord + "";
ycoord0 = ycoord + "";
code... as you can see in the code I converted three times just to verify that I was working with strings. What happens if you run this script, the variables xcoord0 and ycoord0 magicly change in value when they are used in the IF statement (see the traces). What is going on?? what am I doing worng?? Is there an issue with my 2d Array?

View 2 RepliesI have a class Debug with a function called trace inside it which puts a TextField on the stage and outputs the text. Now I am trying to get the Debug.trace() function to do a "normal" debug trace as well from within side itself. of course this causes a recursive loop. I am trying to figure out how I can access the top level separately. I tried using namespaces such as AS3::trace but to no luck.
I know a solution is to rename my function to stop the conflict, but I would like that to be a last resort. It is being used in quite alot of places throughout my entire code so replacing it everywhere is going to be a ballache.
Is it possible to access a function within a function in a parent swf from a loaded swf?
View 6 RepliesI've been having a few problems with accessing an array from a different function.
The array I want to use is from the makeFly function, which generates instances of the Fly MovieClip. I want to access the array from the paperSwing function, which should test for a collision between the mouse cursor and the fly movieclip, and then if true remove the instance. This is the part where I'm having a bit of trouble, I'm not sure of how to access the array "name[i]".
This is from the "Main" Document class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I'm having trouble accessing the turnQueue array which is being updated in the first function and accessed in the second, no idea what the rules are between functions for actionscript.

public function keyListener(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace("Key Entered");

I am trying to have the function name from itself.It will be really cool to automate something like this:
obj.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, myFunction );
private function myFunction( e:Event ):void {
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener( e.type, currentFunction ); // where currentFunction should be myFunction}

View 3 RepliesI've created a few buttons (which are really movieClips) that all have instances named button1, button2, etc. So I created a For loop and put an addEventListener in it for a roll over. The problem is the function called in the listener tells the button to go to frame 2, but there's no way to call tot hat specific button.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI have a AS3 MP3 player. The player class is called Mp3PlayerFrontEnd and controls the play and pause buttons. The playlist class is called PlaylistBoxItem and loads the track names into a playlist from XML. On each line of the playlist is a download button. When the download button is pressed, I want the player to pause. I thought I could just _player.pause(); from the playlist class but it doesnt work.
So my question is... How do I access the function in the MP3 player class from the playlist class?
"Normally you will just have to get access to the Mp3Player instance in PlaylistListboxItem class and call pause() on it in download function. I guess the easiest way to achieve this is to create a public static instance of a holder class that could be used access the player from wherever in code."
I am trying to do something like:
String.prototype.print=function(){trace(??????)}
I can't for the life of me figure out a way to get at the string!

here the problem lies in this line i think

here i want to access e from newPage function so how can i do this

The same line of code does not work out here because it cant access dataInput so how do I get those vars outta the ParseData function so I can use them elsewhere?
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);

I want Access to value of a variable from inside of Function like this simple example
function test() {
a = 10;
}
trace(a);
// return undefined
I'm having troubles trying to pass data from an array inside a function and make it available globally:
Code: Select allfunction getDials_Result(dialAry) {
for (var i:Number = 0; i<dialAry.length; i++) {
trace(dialAry[i]);
}
[Code].....
If I put the trace outside the function everything is undefined.
How can I set this up so the variables are declared globally so I can get them elsewhere.
