ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Array - Trace That First Element While Trace Is Called Within The Function
May 29, 2009
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,
I'm working through some tutorials from my instructor to eventually build a simple e-com website for a state park. Basically, I'm using the two as3 files shown below and trying to get "bob" in my output with an array function and trace. Load store function is intentionally coded out. When I test project, nothing comes up in output, and I have no errors.
Main012.as: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class Main012 extends MovieClip { public function Main012() { [Code] .....
ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace. anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track? here is the code for that function...
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?
I have a array where I put the products id and the amount of that same product in it.when I trace the cart array, flash walks trough all the keys (from 0 to 23443) and that takes a long time.Is there a other way to do it? like this maybey:[code]How can you trace the key of an array in AS?
below code is array for my combo box's data. Now I would like to trace this array. I could not trace of any data of "zone" Object. How we can trace any value of this type of array ?
var zone:Array=[ {label:"Nepal", data:"1:00"}, {label:"China", data:"2:00"}, {label:"Bhutan", data:"3:00"} ];
I am undergoing some experiments on creating object arrays before I attempt to implement it on my main flash document.
Ive created an object array with 3 variables, and im attempting to change the values, then trace the values back to see if its working. Ive tried many things but I keep getting [object: Object] back in the output window.[code]...
I copied some code over to a similar function, which traces out the array index number using indexof(e.target).For some reason I'm getting the usual undefined property errors, but it is tracing other properties in the array using e.target?[code]
I have this code working which has an XML file. This is the code for XML menu(no drop down) for website , i am working on, but i wonder when i traced the value of both arr2 & arr1 it returns 0, although i pushed the value.[code]
hive just started actionscripting instead of tweening so be gentle. i use mx 2004 but i cant get the trace function to work.., here is the code form a kirupa tutorial...
_global.myvar=5; trace (_global.myvar);
why does this not work?i thought it shud display 5.
The Action script code below takes the strings in the array (pgtit) and creates a dynamic navigation bar I am trying to trace the index number of the array being click I just seem to get -1.
var pgtit:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"]; var xPos = 0; var menuHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip; addChild(menuHolder);
I am having a color array with values like 0x2EFE2E, 0xFFFF00, etc. but when i am trying to trace the values in the array, it prints something else like 95455. I think these are some converted values. But i tried using parseInt(val, 16), uint(val). None of these works. Basically, i just want to take values from this array and assign it to particleColor (a uint) and use like this:
I've got some xml that I want to use to populate the labels on an array of buttons that I'm putting in with attachMovie. the button(s) load (well, the first one does) and I've got a trace statement that shows the exact data I want in the button labels. But the numbers just refuse to appear in the button labels.the labeling is correct; I've been looking at this for three days and checked the path and naming at least a dozen times.
Code: for(i=0; i<total; i++){ patMenuHolder_mc.attachMovie("patentBtn", "patentBtn"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos})
But the trace always comes out to be undefined. Also, I have searched, and the basis for that code is (working) code from one of the results I found when I searched
I have 20 players in a game and cutting and pasting lots of code except for a few numbers. I have future features that would require over 400 lines of mostly repeated code. So I learned how to use "for", and practiced with a trace command. Traced the results exactly as I thought. However when I apply it to the guts of my function, the movie breaks down. I suspect it's because the function is being called on an EnterFrame command and the for loop I wrote is being executed over and over.
This works when I hand code: Actionscript Code: function drill(){GUESS0 = ((guess0min * 60)*1000) + ((guess0seconds * 1000)) GUESS1 = ((guess1min * 60)*1000) + ((guess1seconds * 1000)) GUESS2 = ((guess2min * 60)*1000) + ((guess2seconds * 1000)) GUESS3 = ((guess3min * 60)*1000) + ((guess3seconds * 1000)) GUESS20 = ((guess20min * 60)*1000) + ((guess20seconds * 1000)) //and then 300 more lines of other code}
And then a button later calls this when pressing: Actionscript Code: my_MC.onEnterFrame = function(){_root.drill (); //so _root.drill is continually being called, which is good, because it has all sorts of data that needs to be refreshed, but I think it's screwing with my "for" loop.}
And the following is NOT working. Actionscript Code: function drill(){for (i=0;i<20;i++){ "GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));";}
But when I trace it in a separate test movie, it outputs exactly what I would hope it placed in the code: Actionscript Code: for (i=0;i<5;i++){trace("GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));");}
So at the end of the day, I guess I can trace these results in a test movie and use it to generate what I need, and cut and paste it into the project... but I thought 'for' loops were for saving time AND space. Am I using this code right? Maybe my use of "", or +, or i is misguided?
I have an enter frame event and a function running that event, I have place a tracestatement within the function and the stage is running at 25fps.My problem is how do you make the trace statement run just once only? Since it get really annoying when the output panel keep tracing the same thing and slow down my swf....
