ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Reference To Var Name Not Var Value?
Apr 26, 2011
Is it possible to make reference to a variable name rather than the variable value?I have an array full of variables called [int1, int2, int3] and I have defined int1 as 10, int2 as 20 and int3 as 30. I've also got three empty Strings called int1temp, int2temp and int3temp. How would I later make reference to the name of the ints ie. int1, int2 or int3 rather than making reference to the value ie. 10, 20 or 30?

I want to loop through an array of map tile coordinates, place a tile on the stage for each coordinate, and put a reference to each tile instance in a separate multidimensional array called mapRef, where the tile instances can later be referenced by their coordinates in mapRef. Is this line (excerpt from the code below)... Main.mapRef[i][j] = mapTile;.[code]

Consider this for a second:
Code:
theState.stateGrowth = 0;
globalVariablesArray.push(theState.stateGrowth);
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // traces 0
theState.stateGrowth--;
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // still traces 0
Is there anyway to make it so that globalVariablesArray[0] always contains the 'new' value of theState.stateGrowth, even if it changes? In other words, store the property itself in the array, not just the value of it?

I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?

My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:
[Code]...
Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.

For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

I want to print the content of the label property in the Alert window.[code]...
But the Alert window is completely empty. What am I doing wrong ?
I guess the keyword "this" is referencing the application instead of the LinkButton, right ?How can I reference the LinkButton itself, without having to add an ID to all my linkButtons?

I want to be able to reference the text of a text box within an MCThe MC is called "box1", the text field is called "field1"...I have many MCs (all with field1 in them)... box1, box2, box3 etc etcObviously I can set the text to being something by saying...box1.field1.text = "set_this_text"However, I'm using a variable to come up with the "box1" bit. (Using an array and a loop to figure out which box I want to update based on where the user clicked). So, let's say I have a variable... and I want to say..boxClickedon = box1 //will be defined by userSo I don't know in advance about box1... I can only access it through "boxClickedin" variable, but
boxClickedin.field1.text = "set_this_text"
or
[boxClickedin].field1.text = "set_this_text"
[code]....

I have on the first scene, which is named "Edicion", a series of input text fields, which is intended for the user to enter in scores for different teams.
Then there are different scenes for each team, which display their team flag and their score.
How do I, on loading of each team scene, reference the "Edicion" scene and grab the value entered their team score, to update the score?
I have tried _Edicion., _parent., and _root. and even just Edicion. but nothing works, I keep getting undefined.
Example: _Edicion.teamNameScore.text;
I know how to update the score on the current scene. But just can't grab the score entered on the default scene.

I'm new round here so sorry to open with a question. Flash isn't my area of expertise at all, but if anyone needs help with Photoshop or Joomla then I might be able to help! Anyway - my problem. I had a SWF which interacts with a component SWF. I want to remove the component and replace it with an external SWF. I've created a SWF which contained only the component. I'm then loading that using the following AS2 code:
Code:_root.createEmptyMovieClip("my_ssp", 1);
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0;

I need to pass a variable reference to a function, and have the function change the value of the variable.
So, simplified and not in completely correct syntax, something like this:
function replaceValue(element:*, newValue:String):void
{
element = newValue;
}
[Code]....
Of course, in the replaceValue function, element is a new reference to fungibleValue (or, rather, a new reference to fungibleValue's value). So, while element gets set to the value of newValue, fungibleValue does not change. That's expected but totally not what I want, in this case.
There's a similar question, for Ruby, here [URL]
As the question points out, Ruby has a way to accomplish this. BUT is there any way to do this in ActionScript?

I need to get a pointer to a piece of XML. I can get a pointer to the parent node and everything works but trying to get a pointer to a node that has no children just returns the value of that node.[code]...
Tracing subNode would be just the value and there is no pointer to the original xml object, so editing the subNode var would only change its value, not the one in the original XML object.
How do I get a pointer to the subNode so it can be edited to change the original xml object?

Im new to As3 and theres an issue thats driving me crazy. I need to know the name (or reference) of a TextFormat and I cant seem to do it.
Heres some of the code
ActionScript Code:
var f:TextFormat=tf.getTextFormat();
trace ("f.size"+f.size)
trace("****** "+f as String);
Basically I need to find the name of the textformat, which when I created i named like this:
ActionScript Code:
// for example "menuTextSmall"...
var nombreFormato:String = formatosXML.estilo[i].@nombre;
global.formatos[nombreFormato]=new TextFormat();
I have my formats in an xml file with name, attributes, etc. I can get the properties of the TextFormat but I dont know which TextFormat it actually is!!
