ActionScript 3.0 :: Get The Value Of The Variable Constantly Outside The Loop Function
Aug 11, 2010
What i want to do this time is to make a function that calculates the speed of a moving object and then assign this value to a variable, for global use (or just make an .as class and place the function there for general use. I made the loop function that calculates the speed of the object ("ball" is it's instance name), but i cannot find a way to assign the calculation's value as the result of the function "speed" that calls the loop. Or, a way to get the value of the "v" variable constantly outside the loop function. Here's my code:

I have an array with let's say 10 items (keuzes_arr) in it and I want to put 'm on stage randomly, but every item can only be placed once. So I created a little loop, but for some reason the loop freezes constantly. This loop creates a random number, checks if it's already been used. And if not it use it to place the item on the stage.

I am making a game in flash, that uses several resources to build different buildings, that help you to gain resources, etc. I'm trying to make it so that the more "_global.food" you have, the faster your resources will go up. I have it so that the variable "_global.woodBoostMeter" goes up as fast as "_global.woodBoostSpeed" and when it reaches 500, it gives you 1 wood. I want it so that "_global.woodBoostSpeed" is modified by "_global.food" divided by whatever 200 is. (So that you will get resources faster for the more food you have)
Here's the code I'm using:
Quote:
_global.woodBoostMeter =0
_global.woodBoostSpeed = _global.food / 200
_global.woodBoostObtainRate =1
[Code]....
I think the problem seems to be with the "_global.woodBoostSpeed = _global.food / 200". it doesnt go up slow like it should, since "_global.food" starts out at like 200.

Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
if (userWord.text == word){
score = score + 1;
trace(score);
}
That will constantly add one to "score" when a certain word is typed into a text box. How do I add one to "score" without stopping the application or playing it once?

in my project, im loading in a external swf, its a panorama beeing the menu, the buttons on that panorama trigger, everything ok..anyway, ive got another loader for the content that the clicked buttons trigger, works out as well (after long days trying and trying).the problem now is, that loader is sending the content constantly instead of just once when clicked. this makes the flashplayer load the requested url load constantly and flooding the memoryhat d be the code (the critical part [at least i think so] starts at //WINDOW Variables):

I am currently working on a picture slide show tutorial and i fully understand whats going on, except when a variable that gets placed outside a "for" loop that gets used within the "for" loop to create multiple loaders. Secondly, i would of though the newLoader function would of needed a different variable everytime the loop increments? I know i'm so incorrect but I was hoping someone would straighten me out on it here is the code too

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 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.

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

This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?

There's this flash web page Im developing. All movement is 90% written in code (as oppose to it being created via designer mode). And for some reason the frame rate of page in browser just keeps dropping. Can someone tell me what that reason could be?I am aware of the fact that framerate does change from time to time but I think that after a while it should climb back up. But in my case it just keeps dropping (by the 9000. frame its like 2 fps) and there isnt memory leak cos used memory amout by browser stays the same

I have a movie clip with motion in it. I'd like to duplicate this image, blur it, and mask it. I think I can do all of that, but I don't know how to update the blur so it will blur the moving elements in my movie clip.
how to constantly take a snapshot of a movieclip and blur it (while disposing of old snapshots)?

In the last 2 projects i've worked on, i've been using the blur filter to create certain effects.My problem is that whenever I test the movie in the Flash CS4 IDE, it crashes giving me the option to submit a crash report to Adobe before quitting.If I run the compiled SWFs outside of Flash, they perform much better and there is no crashing.

I've taught myself actionscript without books (working on a book now, finally) and I'm wondering how to do something fairly simple: Constantly get the property of an object.... for example, lets say I want to dynamically scale a clip using buttons... if you just use the tween class it will not work! I don't know why (again self taught), but you have to constantly get the _xscale and _yscale property. Currently I'm doing this via an empty movie clip with the following actionscript:
[Code]...
It works fine, but I assume there's a purely as way to do this? Also if anyone knows of an array tutorial for microbe-brained people (like myself), that would be helpful as well. I've gone through a few, but I still can't fully wrap my mind around WHY and HOW it works (even though I've implemented plenty of arrays).

I have a couple of text fields in my Flash movie that are constantly updated with text from an xml document. The xml document is updated through an interface on a seperate swf. It's based on a flash guestbook I found and have hacked apart, and everything works fine in theory... My main worry is that over the course of a day it loaded in the text 170,000 times: 30 times a second which is a little excessive and is playing havoc with my web stats. I've cut this down to once every 10 seconds but I'm still thinking I should use a better method, would it be possible to test for changes before I load in new text, or am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
var currPage = 0;
var showAmount = 1;// set this to the amount of entries you want to view at a time
// **** Load XML ****************************
myXML = new XML();

I want to create several variables (actually tween objects) in a for loop. I want the variables to get names like "variable1" when i =1, "variable2" when i = 2 etc.
for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
}
How do i do this?
