ActionScript 3.0 :: Assign Primitives To New Variables By Reference?
Feb 8, 2011
As primitives are copied as 'value' not by Reference, this doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
var myPrimitive1:int = 10;
var myPrimitive2:int = myPrimitive1;
myPrimitive2 = 20; // i want this to affect myPrimitive1 too
My goal is to pick a random property on a data Object() and alter that. My approach was to put all the Objects properties into an array, and then randomise that array, and pick the first element. The only problem is of course that, that element is no longer a Reference to the original, so If I change that it wont alter the original...
ActionScript Code:
// Create Data Object
var myObject:Object = new Object();
myObject.primitiveVar1 = "string1";
[Code].....

I have a strange problem, I have a XMLList with elements who have the attribute position from 0 to x. When I want to add text to a element of that XMLList by the following statement, I get a error message:
textElements.(@position == columnIndex) = "anyString";

Code:
public function Text1Down(e: MouseEvent): void{
var textArea:Label=Label(e.currentTarget.id);
.......
}
I get this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "text1Area" to mx.controls.Label.
I know that e.currentTarget.id is of type Label. All I want is to make a reference variable so I don't have to keep typing long names.

I am a beginner at scripting but have this error in my first script: "1050: Cannot assign to a non-reference value."I'll give the reference of the error.
var vLeft:Boolean = false
var vRight:Boolean = false
if (vLeft=false && vRight=false) //Location of the error
What am I doing wrong?

I just want to know if there is a way to assign multiple variables, and if there is a way to check multiple variables.
I want to be able to assign variables to false and then check if all the variables are false.

I'm having some trouble with a flash 5 game I'm making. I'm attempting to make a simple choice game, where there are two input text boxes and each has a different meaning. Similar to url.... One for the smart remarks for a reply to their answer. The other for their score. I want the score added after the correct choice is made. [code]The problem is that I don`t know how to assign variables to the text boxes and the answers so that the score carries over from the last scene.

I am making an audio player app that collects variables based on javascript running on the page. By default it loads 2 mp3s, but I need to be able to re-assign the mp3s that it loads based on different javascript clicks.
I think what I want to do is assign the default 2 songs to variables on file load. Then call a function that re-assigns those variables to the javascript variables passed in. My question is - how do I create a function that only runs on initial load? I assume I could then use javascript to call a different AS3 function to stop the player, re-assign the variables, load the file, and then start it again.

could anyone help me modify the code for these checkbox components? right now, the SUBMIT button checks which ones of the checkboxes are checked and gets their label, then writes the appropriate labels in a dynamic text box.[code]For the program I am doing, I need to have a maximum of 6 checkmarks and each one of the checked label must go into its own variable. (see gray part of the swf) I would also like the labels to appear in the right order, right now it's inversed.

Types like Movieclip , String, Object act as references when declared and defined, while types like int, Number are primitives. Why such difference has been made. Why not all of them can be primitives ?

I have created a few flex primitives on screen via action script. Now based on business logic, I need to make changes to some of these primitives such as: changing thickness, direction of arrowhead etcOne thought was to assign id's to these primitives as they are built- how do I do that?e.g. I get a line built as below
var myShape:Shape=new Shape();
myShape.graphics.lineStyle(thickness,color);
myShape.graphics.moveTo(XFrom,YFrom);

I was in an AS3 course last year and the instructor mentioned that the Oval Options of an Oval Primitive -- start angle, end angle, inner radius -- could be animated in AS3.Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, what are the Classes involved? I've been through everything I know and I can't find a reference to it.

I need a compiled and ready-to-use Flash lib, which is able to draw in browser basic primitives (contours, points and labels, not just a charts), described in XML given to the script. It is desirable that the library had at least basic functionality for styling displayed objects: gradients, borders, basic animation, HTML markup. GPL and other free licenses are preferred.

Is there any difference, regarding the memory management, between the following:
Code:
var p:Point = new Point();
doSmthgWithP(p);
Code: doSmthgWithP(new Point()); I don't use this point again after the execution of doSmthgWithP function.

I have a bounded object, created using primitives lines in Action Script- either an oval or a triangle. Is there any way I can fill the contents in a specific color
Just to clarify on this- the shape could be in two ways
a) drawing a isoceles triangle based on a variable apex angle
b) two curved lines to form a "lens"
I am not sure if I can use the fill function, as I am not drawing a inherently bounded shape- the closed nature is based on my calculations

I had a bunch of movieclips on the stage and each of them gets assigned a variable called "clientName" onLoad.
I want to later reference the movieClip whose clientName was "foo" and changes its color, move it, make it bounce, whatever. It seems like it should be possible, but I don't know the syntax.

I've had this problem with Flash for awhile now and I've always been able to find a way to work around it, but this time, I think I'm just going to have to figure out a way to do it. Say I have a bunch of movieClips on the stage that have text fields in them that have data dynamically assigned to them from an SQL database. Once I've assigned data to these fields, can I reference a certain movieClip that contains a predefined value within its text field?
So, if I had three movieClips on the stage, with textfields in them that have the values "500" "600" and "700" is it possible to just reference the movieClip whose textfield currently says "700"? It doesn't have to be a just a textfield, either. If I could reference them by variables assigned to them. Like, it I assigned them a variable called "id" and the values were "500" "600" and "700" would it be possible to just reference the movieClip whose "id" is "700"?

It took me hours to figure our why this was returning the wrong value - when assigning one array to another it passes by reference not Value. I need a way to force it to pass by values. e.g. copy the existing array and have the second array reference it, so i am free to modify the first array without changing the values of the second.[code]From the example above You see that in Actionscript when assigning one variable to another it does it my reference not value. So when you chage the value of one array it changes the value of the other automatically.I need to have the "test2" variable reference the "test1" array only by value so if modify "test1" the values of "test2" won't be modified.
