Some might know by know that I am working on a school project.But my knowledge of AS3 is not so big.My game is doing what it is supposed to do (for now).But the place where I declare (or something.It now looks like this:
Code:
public class game extends MovieClip
{
[code]......
I have 3 textfields, and an eventlistener for each textfield which looks like this:
[Code]...
I am trying to give a TextField a property such as:
Code:
field.debug = function(){ trace this.text; }
But it says: "cannot create property debug on flash.text.TextField"
What I want is to be able to make the 'this' keyword refer to the TextField. Is there another way of doing this?
i want to write a function that is used by multiple buttons and accepts a variable when it is called by a given listener..
ActionScript Code: this.fileBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, menuSet("fileMenu"));
function menuSet(what:String){
trace(what);//should trace back "fileMenu"
}
How do you make a variable have multiple answers attached to it?
example:
workPages = page2_mc, page5_mc, page6_mc, page7_mc
I tried this but it only used page2_mc and an array didn't work.
I am trying to make a simple mp3 player using flash. The songs are loaded using an XML file which contains the song list. The following code is inserted into a new keyframe.
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

The problem over here is in the nextSong() function. I am unable to preserve the value of currentIndex. Although I am incrementing currentIndex every time the function is called, but the value remains unchanged.
I have a number of functions in my code that I want to be called from a List Component, epending on what the user selects from the list. I've added a number of cities to the list like this:
Code:
combo.addItem({value:"akron",label:"Akron, OH."});
combo.addItem({value:"albany",label:"Albany, NY."});

Why cant i make a variable in a function? like this:
aiBunny = function (target)
{
var target.hp:Number = 15;
target.interval = setInterval (aiFoe, 24, target);
};
I have a Flash file that has two music tracks. The player I built works well so far except for this, I am trying to make a Pause/Play button the works on either track. Right now it only works on one. With my limited knowledge of AS3 I tried different solutions but none worked.
Here is the SWF file; [URL]
You will see that the Pause/Play button only works on �Kiss My Dogg� which is track 1.
Here is the FLA file; [URL]
Below is some of the Script I wrote. The pause/play is the part I can�t figure out.
//function to load different tracks
function loadMusic(evt:MouseEvent):void{
//stop whatever is playing
SoundMixer.stopAll();

I have these images that will load when I input a certain string of text but I don't know how to combine functions to make a generic one that will work for all of the images. These are just two and they're basically the same thing except I have to make each function (something)1 and then (something)2 for the next image.

I have 4 buttons with instance names: 'alfa', 'bravo', 'charlie' and 'delta'. I want to make a function that runs on mouse click on either of the buttons. I tried this, but could remember exactly how it should look:

View 3 RepliesI have a public variable and I am trying to set it, then read it from a different function:

My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
how to make a function that will not lose the values of the variable before calling it and will not lose them after it is finished. example.

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]...

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);

View 3 Replieshow 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'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
View 2 RepliesI want to monitor a variable. Whenever the variable value changes I want to call a function. In actionscript 2 I can use "watch" but in as3 what can do ?
View 1 RepliesI 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.

is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access
ActionScript Code:
function stopShake(e:MouseEvent):Array
this array that function return.
The Idea is i want to make avariable that stores his value after i close the swf and open ti again,
an example:
i make acounter
var i:int = 0;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.start();
[Code]....
the value of i will increase but after i close the application and open it again the value will return to 0 , keep the variable stores his value after closing the application ?
I'm trying to achieve something i thought would be extremely easy, but i can't get it to work!

I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) {
var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",

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 {

Is this "kosher"? a was declared in the private function but added to something outside the function..?
I'm currently having a fair amount of trouble doing something that in it's concept is quite simple but appears to be hard to make happen.I am hoping to check a textfield, whatever is in that text field is then used as a variable to set another textfield, for example:
ActionScript Code:
var Na = 23
var C = 12

Basically here is what I want to do[code]...
But I got something wrong in the declare statement.
I want to display some variables(cat1, cat2 and cat3) in a textfield(content_txt).I'm using a external AS-file.
I now have this:
code: //vars instellen
//titels

I'm using createTextField to create a textfield. I have also created a input textfield with a variable called textline1 (I don't create the inputfield with as).I want to display the letters in the created textfiled that I'm typing in the input field. So this in my AS coed:
_root.createTextField("text1",1,100,100,300,100);
text1.variable = textline1;
format1 = new TextFormat();
