I can create an if statement for # of selected items. However, how can I create an if statement for even.label? I have various labels and would like to create if statements based on if the text in my "labels" match up.
ActionScript Code:
function handle_checkbox_change(event:KcheckboxEvent):void {
trace("value before change : " + event.from);
trace("new value : " + event.to);
[Code].....
what I'm trying to do is create an else if argument for each object in an array based on a user set number
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?
I'm trying to test the _root._currentframe value in an "if" statement, but I want to test it using the frame LABEL, not the frame NUMBER.
For example:
on(release) {
if(_root._currentframe != "homePage") {
gotoAndPlay("home");
}
}
I know this works if I put the frame NUMBER instead of the label. But is there a way that I can get it to work with the LABEL?
I am trying to use this if statement with a frame label instead of a frame number. I believe that _currentframe is looking for a number only. Is there a different command that looks at frame labels instead of frame numbers?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to create an if statement that executes two different loops?
For example, If I was trying to make game with a button that when clicked creates random objects falling down and when the objects are destroyed, creates random objects floating up. I haven't seen anything online, but I'm wondering if anyone know. Is it possible or should I just create two different listeners?
I need to create a link to a particular frame that uses a frame label in AS2, so the AS code would be within the time line on another frame. I can either do this with a hyperlink if that is possible or I can create a button and convert to a MC. Whichever way is easier.
View 4 RepliesI have an arrays of swf files that are going to be loaded.I want to create IF statement that when the loadSWF reach to last SWF file (question7.swf) it tweens the alpha of hidden btn.
something like this.
ActionScript Code:
if (e.target.content == qArray[6]+".swf" )
{
TweenLite.to(end_btn,0.5, {alpha:1});
}
This is to give a general idea of the full code
ActionScript Code:
var questionbox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
questionbox.x=0;
questionbox.y=10;
[code]....
is there a way to create an if statement that would load a movie clip after a different movieclip is loaded.
i have text_mc and scroll_mc. I dont want scroll_mc to load unless the content is loaded into the text_mc.
I tryed to make an if statement sort of like a something used for a preloader but I must have been off just a bit because it was not working. I dont even know if it possible.
At the moment I have this in Actionscript (for Flex) to create 26 labels in a BorderContainer (ID letters):
[Code]...
But when I click on a letter, only the letter Z is sent to the function getUsers. So when I'm creating labels from a for loop, only the eventlistener works for the last created label. How do I fix this?

View 7 RepliesHaving a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code
[Code]...
I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});
[code]....
However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
why this code won't work

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
For a game I am making I want to create an "if" statement that waits for the right arrow key to be pressed and for the global variable "movement" to equal 0. I used the code below:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && (_global.movement = 0)) {
When both those statements are true, I wanted the object to move to the left at the variable "speed". the entire code I used is below:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && (_global.movement = 0)) {
_x -= speed;
}
When the game is played I know that the "movement" equals 0 through the debugger tool, and when I press the right arrow key, the object does not move.
I've created next/back buttons to navigate to various frame labels on the timeline. There is a "main menu" frame that contains menu buttons to take the user to other frame labels on the timeline. However this "main menu" frame has an FLV playing and needs to be "stopped" when navigating to another frame label. I have the code for this.
What I am inquiring about is this:Do I need to create an "if statement" in the next/back button code telling Flash that if the user clicks on the next/back button while on the "main menu" frame, to stop the FLV also?
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 Repliesif its possible, via AS3, to create a frame label in a movieclip on a specific frame.
Obviously I can do it by manually by setting up labels on the timeline within the target movieclip, but I would rather use an array so I can loop through it, creating a label name on a the specific frame each time?
so for example I would end up with:
myLabelOne on frame 10
myLabelTwo on frame 25
myLabelThree on frame 115
etc
I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.

Is it possible to use a if statement with a eventlistener in it?
eg
if(myBut_btn.addeventlistener(MouseEvent.CLICK)){
[code]....
So I've been reading a lot today about the with statement performance, readability and stuff like that but i'm still not sure whether i should or should not use the with statement in AS3.
Using the with statement seems the same as creating local var which would carry the reference.
I am sending my header location to some variables in flash from my php page.For example when i am in the homepage then the header is:
&from=sitemap&product_id=1
What i want to do is tell the flash to go to one frame if it is the homepage and to another for any other value of products_id.What i have in my actionscript is this:
Code:
var prod_num = product_id;
if(prod_num == 1){
gotoAndStop("s1");
} else{
gotoAndStop("s2");
}
It is getting the product_id....but for some reason it always goes to frame name "s2".
ive got an array of cards 2-10 plus jack, queen, king, ace and i'm pulling members from the array at random--in order to score it, i decided to check the first character of the string and see if it returns a number or not.if it's a number, add the number to the score, but if it returns 'NaN' (not a number) then it will just add 10 to the score--so even tho NaN is defined as a variable in flash, somehow my if statement 'char==NaN' isn't working...

I'm using a for-statement to add a series of movieclips.
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
attachMovie("myMC", "myMC"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
Inside the movieclips I have some code. In this code I need the index-number of the movieclip. I'm staring the code off with: var indexr:Number = _root.i; The for-statement is so fast that all the movieclips get number 9 in the index-variable! Is there any trick to manage this, like can I get the index from the name in some way? Or do I have to work around it in some more or less complicated way?
