When I use the code below the "!" never appears in the output text field. I tried removing nameInput.text and then the "!" will appear. But with nameInput.text in the code, any string I try to add after it does not appear.

It needs to be XML because it is translated.

View 1 RepliesHow do I concatenate variable names in AS3?Something like this:
for(var i:int=0 ; i<5 ; i++) {
var "myVar"+i:Array = new Array();
}
How can I prevent concatenating when using the addition operator? totalCost_txt.text = (firstCost_txt.text + secondCost_txt.text)I can replace the "+" with any other operator and it works. (huh?)
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a function which ideally you tell it to go to the next level and it sorts everything out to transition to the next level for you. Currently I use this to get from level 1 to 2...
[Code]....
Also I need to make it so it checks if levelText == whatever on press of the Enter key, as well as the mouse click on GoButton.
I'm starting out with AS3 and migrating some old code. I have several dynamic variables in AS2 but they are using _root which isnt available in AS3.How would I go about switching the following variable to AS3? I have at least a dozen different variables similar to this one.
Code:
for (i = 0; i < (k-1); i++) {
pivot = _root["AI"+i][i][i]; // existing AS2 code

I have this code to push "Variable1" in to MyArray:
ActionScript Code:
_root.MyArray.push(Variable1);
Note:
"Variable1" is a number stored as a string.
When "Variable1" changes, the code above is called upon to add the new "Variable1" value in to MyArray. Then I have this code which is called upon to find the sum of all the values within "MyArray":
ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<=_root.MyArray.length-1; i++) {
_root.MyArray_Total = _root.MyArray_Total + MyArray[i];
}
My problem is that rather than adding the values contained within MyArray (as if they were numbers), the values are being concatenated instead.
Example:
If MyArray values were 1, 2, 3
I want the MyArray_Total to = 5
But instead... MyArray_Total = 123
I tried making a new variable named "Variable1_num", declaring it as a number, making it equal to "Variable1", and then pushing "Variable1_num" in to "MyArray"... but that didnt seem to work either.
I'm trying to concatenate a name and variable number. Then trace it, so answer3 should output from my loaded xml data "water". Instead all I can get to trace is the word "answer3". If I type "answer3" in the trace I get the variable im looking for. If I type [this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()] in the trace I get number 3. How do I go about concatinating the word answer and a dynamic number.
Heres my code...
Code:
trace("answer"+[this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()]);
It is possible to reference an array inside of an image file name, here's the scenario.
I have a list of images that only differ by the number at the end of the name (for example. orangeimg1.jpg, appleimg2.jpg, strawberryim3.jpg, etc. Is it possible when referencing the image that I could somehow reference the array in the file name rather than repeating the same code over and over again?
I have two different arrays set up one for fruit which has (orange, apple, stawberry) and I have another array with the numbers (1, 2, 3). I have jpg images for each of these combinations but how to I reference that in one line when I'm trying to refer to these images. I thought something like source = "[fruit].img.[number].jpg" would work
Again I've found some information on the web but it doesn't refer to how it would work if I was coding a source for my images.
The course contain ten chapters that all have to report that when a user completed them. When they all are, the status is set
to "completed" for the course. First off the theory behind it:
1. I just completed a chapter.
2. Load a string with then numbers "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0", one for each chapter. All 0's, no chapter is completed, all 1's, all chapters are completed, you get the picture.
3. Add a 1 for, lets say chapter 5, would look like this "0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0".
4. Check if the course is complete, like this: "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1", or not.
5. If complete, set status to "complete", if not, set to "incomplete".
In practice:
import flash.external,*;
String(ExternalInterface.call("LMSGetValue, "cmi.suspend_data, TheCourseStatus"));
String(ExternalInterface.call("LMSSetValue, //..add the number "1" to
[code]....
So, after this rant. How do I,
1. Get the string.
2. Add the course number/value to the string
3. Then update the string, and..
4. ..set the appropriate status.
I found out that "I need to concatenate them together with a delimiter so I can separate the string on re-entry", but I don't know how to do that.

[Code]....
I have the following code in actionscript 3:
var async:AsyncToken;
async = bridge.retornamenu();
The bridge is a remote object, instantiated. The retornamenu() is the function that I want the remote object open in amfphp.
However the retornamenu() is a dynamic function, which turns another function, but I can not run it at runtime,
example
var stringfunction:String = "retornamenu()" // this name is dynamic.
var async:AsyncToken;
async = bridge.stringfunction;
But this way does not work, not perform the function retornamenu();
I can't for the life of me come up with anything that works...
function setCurrentCMI(id){
if (_level0.strInteraction+id==""||_level0.strInterac tion+id=="undefined") {
//does nothing, user hasn't been here yet

I'm relatively new to Flash, and I�m in the process of creating a flash intro to my website. The problem is, whenever I preview one of my Mask layers by pressing Ctrl+Enter, the mask effect doesn�t work � it merely shows the masking object. The puzzling thing for me, which leads me to suggest that the mask should work is that in the normal timeline view, when I lock both the mask and masked layers and press Enter or slide through the frames � the effect works perfectly. On Ctrl+Enter all of my other Masks work fine as well - the one in question has text as the mask content.
It only stops working when I view it as an .swf file or play the movie with Ctrl+Enter. Does anyone know why this is happening, how I can get around it, or whether it will be a problem when published?

The new text format is properly/correctly applied when I moused over, and the main difference that is applied onRollOver is to have the text underlined.

I'm using as2 to place a text field with embedded fonts, whose content is coming in from xml inside of a cdata tag.When I publish the movie, all is well.When I upload the movie online, the commas in the text field appear backwards and the emdash is missing.The fonts otherwise appear to be embedded properly - it's displaying with the fonts I intended it to.Not sure why just these characters are changing online, but appear properly in the flash environment when I publish the movie?
View 5 RepliesIn an attempt to use a dynamic text field on my page, and passing text to it such as..
question.text = "Sample text here"
..where the instance name of the dynamic text field is "question" ..I found that if I add another text box to the page as static text, but using the same font as the dynamic field, the dynamic field populates incorrectly.If I compile using CS4 it works fine, and if I break apart the static text in CS5 it works fine.I also found if I change the font of the static field to something other than that of the dynamic.. it works fine.However in further testing..if I place a second static text field on the page,the dynamic again breaks even if I use the different font as before.
All of these scenarios work fine in CS4, but in CS5 is causing my dynamic field to change to the same as my static text, or simply mixing letters and otherwise not displaying my dynamic text...I've tested on three systems here all with CS5 ...
