i'm trying to add values to a variable.[code]a simple drag and drop on a MC.i would like to store the X displacement when i drag. let say i have 30 in a variable wich store x position of myMC, if i drag the MC 200 units the variable should read 230 and so on.

View 1 RepliesI am looking for a quick and easy way to store variables in a text file, rather than use amfphp to connect to a database all I need to do is increment values every time a button is clicked. Would be better if all the vars were in the same text file but if I have to have one per var that would be ok.
View 3 RepliesWhen the user presses the space bar, I'm trying to take one string from a series of strings labeled c1-c9, break it into an array, display that array, and then increment the linenumber variable at the end of the function so that the next time the space bar is pressed, the next string in the series is traced and so on and so forth. Here is the relevant section of script (the strings and the linenumber variable have been declared earlier)
[Code].....
Every time I press the space bar, though, I just get the traces of the initial string and linenumber value repeated without any incrementing. I think it may have something to do with the "this" before the bracket in this line var displayarray:Array = this["c" + linenumber].split(" "); which I found in a code sample on some website and do not understand at all, but I get compiler errors if I try to join the "c" and the line number without the "this" there.
I'm working on a flash movie that involves the use of rotating 3 objects in a matter that the first one moves 18000 degrees cw according to the value in the 'num' variable. The 2nd object rotates -1800 degrees. The third one rotates 180 degrees.
What I actually want to do is create a movie of the older analogue electric meters that had the 5 dials that represented each digit so if the far right dial moved from 0 to 5 the 2nd would move the opposite way to be between 0 and 1 and the third a hair to the right of '0' and so on in increments of 1/10.
When I run the below code the dials ( I currently useing jetplanes until I draw or locate a pointer image file as well as the circle with 0-9 marked off in it) stay on 500 and should be moving a bit since I have another variable that increments num by 1. I tried using the Timer event and would get several errors. I also know that the way it runs now doesn't work since num is going to be assign the same value of 18000 since I have it setup to gotoAndPlay(1) in frame 2. How would I be able to have it so that so it would increment without getting undefined variables. I also tried a for loop to increment the num but the stage would instantly show the end result after the loop was done.
code
--------------
var num:Number = 18000;
var i:Number= 0;

I basically have a text file with a username variable that assigns usernames to username1, username2, and so on. I would like to create a loop that checks to see if that username was created and if it was a conditional statement will follow. The problem I have is I want to do a loop with a counter(var i) and increment that counter in the loop and concat that with loginName to input that into a dynamic textfield labeled loginName1. (Actionscript 2)[code]I am using loadvars to load 2 text files, one has username and ip(username1 = blahblah ipaddress1 = blahblah and so on), the second file has an array that has ipaddress and data usage passed in an array. i want to check how many usernames there are and check the ipaddress of that username against the other file containing ipaddresses and usage.) I have everything setup, but im running into issues when writing a loop to check for username1, username2, and so on.
View 2 RepliesI've followed several tutorials on how to do this, but my dynamic text box always returns a value of "Nan" when I try to increment it's value.I've been trying to use Code:_root.total = _root.total + 1;] in an on release function. Even if i managed to get this to work though, I still need to reuse the variable i'm incrementing within other calculations.
View 2 RepliesI have a script which places a clip on the stage (well, just off it), and rotates the clip and then tweens it to a certain x/y coordinate based on the rotation using TweenLite, and all of this on a setInterval of 2 milliseconds. That works well. Thing is, I don't seem to be able to set a unique name based on the clipname and an incrementing number. Basically (and this isn't the whole thing, this is just the general idea), it goes:
Code:
interval = setinterval("dothis", 2);
var increment=0;
function dothis(){
attachMovie(movieICall, "movieICall" + increment; 1)
movieICall._x = ;
_y= etc;
increment++;
}
So when I set the interval to 2 seconds, it moves everything well and there are no problems. When I set the interval to 2 milliseconds, the clips only get just onto the screen before disappearing. I've tried creating a function to handle the x,y, tween. So I could refer to the clip with a "this", but it doesn't change anything. The only thing I can think of is that movieICall is not incrementing, and every clip on the screen is being referred to as movieICall, in which case the next case of x, y, tweening overwrites that last one and effectively kills the last one (but then why is it not just left sitting on the screen)? I tried adding an overwrite: false to the end of the TweenLite, but that only let the tween happen once and then...nothing.
I have a for statement, using an incrementing variable "a." A dynamic amount of herbs are generated, so here is the for statement.
Code:
for(a=1; a<_global.herbAmount+1; a++) {
var herbMC = _root["herb"+a];
trace(herbMC);
}
When I trace "a," it traces 1, 2, 3 or however many numbers there are up to the global herbAmount number. When I trace _root["herb"], _level0.herb pops out. When I add "a" onto _root["herb"], undefined is traced....why?

Another thing: how to access array values from outside of function?
This one is tripping me up. I'm creating a simple 10 question 'quiz' with simple "yes" or "no" radio buttons for each question. If they picked "yes" the value is 5, while "no" is 0. I want them to be able to choose all of the answers and then click submit. On submit it would add up all the answers and save that number as a variable named "score".
I know how to setup all of the radio button groups, calling each group question1, question2, question3 etc and giving the values to each yes and no radio button. I just don't know how to capture the values on submit, add them up and save to a variable.

Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
