This is a work around question:
lets say I have the following:
onstage:
this.someobject
this.someobject.x
this.someobject.y
is there a way to assign the x or y property
var xORybject;
so that the following is evaluated correctly
this.someobject[this.xORy] == this.someobject.x || this.someobject.y
I am trying to use the duplicateMovieClip event to create a row of custom movie clips dynamically and I would like to be able to set the _alpha properties on each object depending on an event i am firing in a different movie.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI have created an object called myObj.
How do I create a class that I can call that will assign properties to myObj such that PHP Code:
myObj = {foo:15, bar:"hello"}
...?
BTW, I do not want to just say
PHP Code:
var myObj:Object = {foo:15, bar:"hello"}
...because in fact I am going to be creating a bunch of objects all having the same properties, and there will be many more such objects.
I have an object that has properties that are numbered numerically but I cant seem to access them dynamically.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a custom property called Player (like a basketball player) that has properties for points per game (ppg), rebounds per game (rpg), etc.I'm designing a piece where users can get averages and compare players across many different categories.
I have a String variable "stat" that tracks which property they want to compare. I can use "stat" in a sorton function, but need to use it to access the object property. So when the user chooses "ppg" or "rpg" i can access Player.ppg and Player.rpg by using the stat variable. Player.stat doesn't work.
When working with XML I find it best to bring in the XML document and then add the data to new objects so they can be easily referenced later. Previously I have done this by hard-coding the node names when I parse the XML and add the appropriate data to a property in my new custom object, allowing me to state what type of data it is, array, string, etc. I would really like a way to do this dynamically, so when I parse the XML it detects whether the node has children and makes an array, etc. Something was done by XML2Object in AS2.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to dynamically name properties on a custom object ?
something like:
Code:
o:Object = new Object();
s:String = 'abcd'; // the name I want for my objects property
o.[s] = '1234'; // 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftbracket.
trace(o.abcd) // 1234
EDIT I want to do this as an associative array, so if there is a better alternative then I'd be happy with that as well.
hat is the correct way to access an object dynamically? I have tried this with no success:
Code:
i += 1;
var myVar = this[myObject. + "myProperty" + i];
[code].....
I'm making an array and i'm sticking a bunch of movieclips in there that I want to act exactly the same.
In as2 this was as simple, I would just write something like
"for(x in samplearrayname){
//do stuff}"
this doesn't seem to be the case with as3 because i'm getting all sorts of wacky errors. I'm seeing something called foreach() but it doesn't seem to work the same way. Would someone be kind enough to point me towards a good tutorial?
the error i'm getting is "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Number."
Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 RepliesIn Flash Professional, I have a MovieClip and that clip has children. Let's say the parent clip is a night sky and the children are different instances of a star MovieClip that animates in a loop. This whole thing compiles down to a NightSky.swc which I use in Flash Builder as part of a larger project.
In Flash Pro, I position the child clips with a high level of precision. From there, I want to assign properties to these "stars." Say, I want to assign "galaxyId" and "isRedGiant" but (and this is key) I want to edit those properties in Flash Professional and have those value accessible in Flex.[code]...
i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?
View 1 RepliesI forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties

This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

View 1 RepliesI have a problem that should have a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out. Basically I need to assign a movieclip a number value to that it will carry with it so I can later compare it to the number value of another movieclip.
Here is the snippet of my class code. I got a loop that creates a new object and adds it to the stage and then positions it. It all works accept for when I try to assign the i value to _dragHead.HIT (HIT is not a movieclip nested within the _dragHead object by the way). I just want each newly added movieclip to carry a unique number value so how would I achieve this?

private function createTerms():void

Sure this will be a simple fix, and I'm just not seeing the wood for the trees. I have a movie with a movieclip called scroller_mov. Inside it are 15 movieclips named pic1 thru pic15.
