ActionScript 3.0 :: Insert Variable Value Into A Path?

Nov 4, 2009

The bold below is what I would like to work, however it does not.  It might not be able to happen like this at all.

basically on mouse down I take the event.target.name and perform a string manipulation to get the number out of the target and add some string to front and end to get the name of the movieclip I would like to effect.  Is it possible to insert the value of dotName into the path?
 
eventName = event.target.name;
stringManip1 = eventName.substring(13, eventName.indexOf("_")); //get the Number before the _
dotName = "dot" + stringManip1 +"_mc"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Insert A Variable In A Path To A MovieClip?

Apr 20, 2010

I'd like some help on using a variable in a path to a  MovieClip. I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want  it to open and the previous one to close.
 
I'm storing the  previous tab as a variable (_previousTab) but am having trouble adding  the variable to the path to the MovieClip of the previous tab. The error  Flash gives me is:

[Code]...

If  I replace the variable _previousTab with the name of the MovieClip it  works fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the variable being a  String perhaps?? Also, the trace statements return the desired MovieClip names.

Actionscript 3 :: Insert A Variable Into SQLite Database?

Feb 2, 2012

I have a function that inserts data into a SQLite database. I can manually add data using

sqlStatement.text = "INSERT INTO users (First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES ('John', 'Doe')";

This works perfectly. Now I am trying to insert the data from a variable instead. I can trace my variable from this function- trace(Main._firstName); //returns John, but when I insert it using this:

sqlStatement.text = "INSERT INTO users (First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES (" + Main._firstName + ", 'Doe')";

it inserts it as "null Doe".

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:

Javascript :: Pass The Variable So That The Resulting Line Of Code Doesn't Have The Quotes Around The Variable Value?

I'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Variable Set-up - 'if' Statement To Run From Variable When Playhead Encounters MovieClip

Aug 21, 2009

I want to declare a variable on the main timeline that can be called from anywhere in my movie. So, _global var should be the right approach. I want to declare a movie clip 'MC1' "open", or "closed" so that when it is revisited, my flash file knows the user has been there before and performs a different task from the one it does when 'MC1' was first encountered. So, i need a 'if' statement to run from the variable, when the playhead encounters the movieClip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Combine Multiple Variable Names Together To Target New Variable?

Jan 31, 2012

I'm still learning flash and actionscript 3 and i am having trouble with variable and object names. I need to be able to combine variable names together (in the same way as php can combine by doing var1.var2).

My swf contains 4 loaders (image1_loader, image2_loader etc..) which are a child of (image1_content, image2_content etc.....)

I then have 4 buttons which load an image into the loader and while doing so they define the currently active loader.

Finally i have 4 control buttons - scale up/down and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise which should only control the currently active loader (as set by the buttons above)[code]...

Flex :: Store ColorPicker Value In A Variable And Bind The Variable To A TextInput

Dec 11, 2009

I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.

thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.

what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.

When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.

This is what i've got.

Finally i have 4 control buttons - scale up/down and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise which should only control the currently active loader (as set by the buttons above)

So my buttons as well as loading the image have the event listener:

image1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrentSelection);
image2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrentSelection);
(and so on..)
function setCurrentSelection(e:MouseEvent):void {

[Code]...

So within the rotateClockwise and rotateAntiClockwise functions i need to be able to recognise which is the currently active loader and have that number instead of the X - so if it is image1_loader - it needs to be image1_content, if 4 - image4_content... I had tried to do it as this but it doesn't like it being a string:

rotateAroundCenter((activeLoader+'_content'), 10, ptR);

Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?

Mar 7, 2012

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change String Variable To A MovieClip Variable?

Oct 10, 2008

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.

The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Basing A Numeric Variable On A Loaded Variable?

Dec 21, 2009

Working in AS2, using CS3 Flash Pro I've simplified this to just the one little thing I'm trying to do.

countervariables.txt has this text in it:

[Code]...

The trace shows itemsPerMili as 'NAN' and totalForYear as 'undefined'. I know itemsPerMili yields 'Not A Number' because totalForYear comes up undefined, but oddly, the loaded variable does show up correctly in a dynamic text field assigned to the variable. I don't understand why it should show up in the dynamic text field correctly when it won't trace.

I want to see the number "3.80517503" in my trace for itemsPerMili.
