So why can I evaluate an expression in a switch like so:
[Code]...
If I trace vidList[currentIndex].video before the switch I get "city" but tracing vid after the switch I get null Quickly solved by just assigning to a variable and then using that in the switch... but it still seems odd I can't just do it directly.

I need to evaluate an expression in a string at run time . Not sure how to achieve this in Flex. My requirement is as follows
var test:String = "myparams.id=10" ;
//test will be a string populated at runtime.
// I need to treat it as an expression and evaluate it at runtime
[Code]....
is it possible to do something like this action script 3?
I believe the eval function earlier allowed this, but now it has been depreciated?
Code:
var Happy:Array
Happy[Happy.length] = "_root.Train1_mc"

I'm trying to make a menusystem that will jump to specific frames depending on what frame I'm currently on. I have made a switch/case to evaluate the current frame. I have managed to find this code to get the current frame but I need an instance of my entire flash movie it seems? I have tried this (psudo code sort of). var frame = myClip.currentFrame; I then proceed to test frame in the switch/case statement. (All this is an event for a mouse event listener BTW). Now how can I refer to myClip?

How do I reference the root frame label in a function for event dispatching using a switch statement.
SUMMARY: This is simple, but as I've stepped away from ActionScript for too long, I'm having trouble figuring out the proper test expression to reference the root timeline frame label (e.g., switch(the root frame label)).
Nothing i've tried works:
switch(this.label)://obviously this would look at the button timeline switch(event.root.label)://player says there is no "root" property ...
STRUCTURE: I have five MCs, one on each of five frames. I have a forward button and a back button. I created a switch statement to specify different actions, based on the root frame label. Frame labels are f1, f2, f3, f4, fend.
THE RELEVANT CODE on Frame one ("f1"):
Code:
stop();
nexter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNexter);
nexter.buttonMode = true;

Code:// This example is set to evaluate half a second pause (500)
if (Number(getTimer()-lastClick)<500) {
// Add your doubleclick actions here
if (Reaction._visible eq false) {
setProperty ("Reaction", _visible, True);
} else {
[Code]...
This is a double-click detector.. I was just wondering, since I've never seen lastClick, is there such a thing as lastMove? I'm thinking of using onClipEvent (MouseMove) with a x and y detection timer, or could the one above have some hope?
I have 25 textboxes on stage. I am using a for loop to point to each textbox and evaluate the contents. When I come across a textbox that has the letter "Y" in it I want to place a object called colorbox at a certain location. To do this I have created a variable called tf. When I trace this variable outside of my if statement it correctly shows the contents of the current box, however within my if statement it doesn't. Also the colorbox doesn't get placed at the designated coordinates and I get the following error message:
1176: Comparison between a value with static type flash.text:TextField and a possibly unrelated type String.
for(var i:uint = 1; i < 2; ++i)
{
var tf:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("sw" + i));

I have three array holders that hold different text and numbers. First I need if(_root.achievements[0][i] (Needs to be evaluated as a string variable name for example _root.pKills because before I set _root.pKills to 10) == _root.achievements[1][i] (Need to be evaluated as a number so I can compare it to the string variable name))

I have 31 squares on stage named square1-31. Each square is defined as a movieclip. . Each square has a textbox within it named txtbox1-31. I also have an object in my library called marker.I am using a for loop to cycle through the squares. I need to evaluate the contents of each textbox in each movieclip and if it is not empty, addChild an object to the current square location. So far my cod is not working as AS3 doesn't recognize the name of my textboxes or their locations.

I need to evaluate the decimal point of an interger (bet u wouldn't of guessed that from the title eh?!)
So, im reading in XML for a thumbnail viewer, the viewer displays 5 thumbs per "page" so, i divide the total number of thumbs by 5.
Then i need to evaluate the number if it dosn't have a decimal point (ie, the total divides by 5 exactly) then that is the number of pages i need.
Then if the number does have a decimal 12.2, for instance i need to strip the 2. leaving 12, and then add one so the 2 images left go onto a new page.
I've created a dropdown menu which drops down onClick. gotoAndPlay("2")
I have been trying to create some AS 3 code that, evaluates the number of clicks and therefore, if the menu button is clicked for a second time it goes to it's original state. ("1") and creates the illusion of closing. Rather than as it does at the moment and repeats the the process of opening.
Code:
var menuclicks:Number = 1;
function onMenuClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {

Ive racked my brain on this one and I just cant seem to see what im doing wrong. I have 2 text boxes that need to be evaluated against each other. Both are input boxes that capture and store data into variables. I just want to compare those values and run the proper code. t works fine for the first round. If I enter new values, the variables are updated as well. But the new values are not applied to the condition the second time around.

var total: Number = input_txt2.text;

I have an SWF that has a var that is a string called fullpath. Now, if fullpath was "game.item1", How would I evaluate it as _level0.game.item1 in brackets [] rather than _level0.game.item1.Basically, how would I evaluate an item path from a string with brackets []? This is AS 2

Using the counter on a for loop I want to cycle through all 25 textboxes and if they have text in them, i want to place an object overtop of that movie clip . For this example I will only use 3 movieclips, each containing a textbox. The movieclips are named mov1, mov2 and mov3 and the textboxes within them are named text1,text2 and text3

This should be fairly simple but I understand why it doesn't work. I am hoping there is a clever way to do the following: I have a string 'movieclip1.movieclip2' I have a container movieclip - Container. Now to evaluate the string normally I would look something like: this.container['movieclip']['movieclip2']
Because clip2 is a child of movieclip. But I would like to parse or evaluate the string with the dot syntax to read the string as a internal path. this.container[evaluatedpath]; // which is - this.container.movieclip.movieclip2 Is there a function or technique to be able to evaluate that string into an internal path?
In the attached CS4 file I have attempted to have a button evaluate whether a variable (textbox) is equal to a number. If so, I want another textbox to say "correct" or trace "correct" either way. However, it doesnt appear to be evaluating the variable. I receive the "correct" trace everytime the button is released.
I tried to upload the file but it is too large. The code in the button is as follows:
on (release){
if (phoneNumber == "911");
trace ("correct");
}
I have a textbox entitled numbers, in which the user presses buttons and the number is added to the textbox. The same textbox has a variable assigned to it entitled phonenumber. When the talk button is pressed the code above should check the variable to see if it == 911. However no matter what I enter into the textbox, the trace always pops up and says correct.
I have piece of ActionScript code which is supposed to evaluate a string of HTML and break it up into individual pieces. So a string like <p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a> would be translated into:
1. <p>Hi</p>
2. <span>Hi</span>
3. <a href="index.php">Hi</a>
...
However, when I run a test version of this code, I get a value of null in return. I'm pretty sure my regexp string is good, but I'm doing something wrong in ActionScript. My code is below:
var evaluatedInput:RegExp = new RegExp('/<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.*?)</1>/');
var output:Object = evaluatedInput.exec("<p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a>");
trace(output);

Possible Duplicate:In Flash, how would I run an e4x statement when that statement is stored in a String?I know there is an existing question regarding this problem, but it got no replies.Ideally, I would like to stick an e4x expression in a string and run it.
var tempXML:XML = someXML;
var stringe4x:XML = "pictures.picture.(size > 200)";
tempXML.eval(pictures); //something instead of eval
Since AS3 doesn't have eval, this doesn't work; however, there is the ability to use elements() and attributes() to get the elements or attributes on the same XML node level, but this doesn't work for the more complicated e4x filters such as "(id > 300)" or ".." notation.
