i have a variable declared in a function like this
ActionScript Code:
function callThumbs():void {
var calheight:Number = thumb_loader.y; }
how can i trace its value out side of this function ?
I have a public variable and I am trying to set it, then read it from a different function:
public var str:String;
public function DailyVerse()
{
function create() {
[Code]....
My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
i have a question i have a primary and secondary function which i want it to be dynamic so i can get the user to enter in six to seven different or as many as required argument parameters for my primary function
[CODE]...
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?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
View 2 RepliesI want to monitor a variable. Whenever the variable value changes I want to call a function. In actionscript 2 I can use "watch" but in as3 what can do ?
View 1 RepliesI have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access
ActionScript Code:
function stopShake(e:MouseEvent):Array
this array that function return.
I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) {
var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",

I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this
ActionScript Code:
public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {

Is this "kosher"? a was declared in the private function but added to something outside the function..?

I have a bar on my website which displays the last 10 SMS messages that have been sent to the website by the users. [click here]The sender's nickname and message are dynamically loaded from a PHP-file. I also want to display the user's picture next to the message. The URL to the picture is sent from the PHP-file, just like the nickname and message, but I don't know how to display that picture in my flash-movie.So, how do I display a picture in flash when I've only got a dynamically loaded URL?
View 3 RepliesJust starting out and really being trying to learn some game making basics etc but seem to be stuck on displaying some text.
If I have a dynamic text box with instance name "instance" and this is placed on stage. I have no problem making this read as my variable using this code:
Code:
function onLoad()
{_root.instance.text = variable};
when I have dynamic text within a movie clip and this movieclip is brought to the stage using attachMovie.
To clarify what I mean, I have a movie clip of an emeny zombie named EnemyZombie, inside this movie clip is a text box to show it's HP (ie, it's health left over), the text box has instance name EnemyZombieHP.
Now, I use this code in the onEnterFrame function to spawn a new zombie ever few seconds:
Code:
//Adds 1 to the timer
enemyTimer = enemyTimer + 1;
//Adds new enemy to the stage every 2 seconds (60 frames)
[Code].....
This spawns the enemies as I wish but i'm stuck on how to make each one spawn with the EnemyZombieHP text reading the variable hp which I definded as 10 earlier.

Context: Making a guessing game where up to 20 users guess times. A countdown timer script runs at the game start. As time goes by, flash compares the guess with the real time, moves a movieclip (horse1, horse2 etc) along the x axis and displays an integer (time between the guess and ever changing clock [horse1.displaybox1, horse2.displaybox2, horse3.displaybox3, etc]). This is all working.
How to I display the current closest guesser?
I TRIED to avoid arrays, but doubt I can. JUST learning about arrays and for loops, but found this elegant code to find the max number in an array (or with modification could get the min):
maxValue = function (array) {
mxm = array[0];
for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
if (array[i]>mxm) {

Basically I want to define a variable in a movieclip and then display that in a textbox outside of the movieclip. To be a little more specific I want to make a variable be false and then when a movieclip gets to a certain frame the variable is set to be true. The true will then be displayed in a textbox on the main timeline.

So in my game I have a text box that tracks ammo, using this code:
Code:
ammocount.text = String(this.ammo);
called every frame
I have used Trace to determine that String(this.ammo) does produce the correct value every time, however the text box after each shot displays either "1", "11" or is blank at random
no other lines of code address the .text value of the box
Setting ammocount.text to any manually entered value results in a blank text box, ammocount.text must be the property I'm looking for otherwise the 1s and 11s could never get into the text box
We can logically deduce hence that this is a bug in AS3 and since gutting whichever retarded adobe employee is responsible isn't an option I'm wondering if its documented, and if so what workarounds are known, and how best to avoid the issue
I have a project where I want to display a certain movieClip based upon what variable was set earlier. I have 5 different MovieClips that need to display depending on variables.
I have the variable set and working, but how can I script this to make it that if a certain variable say Var1 is set, then it chooses to display Var1_mc?
Can I just have it load the correct one, or do I just have it change the alpha setting of the correct one?
I'm building a product page, here's the setup:

On the index.swf is the main navigation that'll open swf's for the different categories. Those products.swf fills with products via php. This is the working code for products.swf:
ActionScript Code:
var t = "";
var cat:String = "products";
[code].....
Now my main issue is, I can't get the product_info.swf right. The problem is I don't know how you can define the products within the products.swf with a name, so you can tell which product you should display in the product_info.swf

I have this variable var userPicLoc:String = [URL] I would like to display this using AS3 in a movieclip used as a user pic when a user logs in.

In Flex, you are able to create a Label and make its Source a variable containing a URL String like the one above. It looks something like this:

suppose i have 10 image variables like this
var image1:String = http://somewhere.com/image1.jpg
var image2:string = .....image2.jpg
var image3:string = .....image3.jpg
and so forth.........
i have a timer that displays each variable as an image one a time ....
how do i "buffer" the image and display them instead of going out each time the timer runs? im asking because sometimes the server could slow or some other reason. so what i want to do is to download all those images and then display them from the clients computer. some sort like @Embed ??
