View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Arrays Getting Wiped Using Different Functions?
Feb 9, 2010I have a program which fills an array with data loaded from an external XML file. I've used the debugger to step through the program, and what I am seeing is this: Inside the function where the array is filled, the data is inside the array and everything is fine. However, when I go to another function, the array retains its structure but all the values are empty. I have no idea why it's doing this... though maybe it's some sort of scope issue? I've defined the array in the class, and everything is fine until I try to reference data outside of the function which it was put in. That being said, in a separate function, more data is added to the array and that data is still retained throughout the class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Arrays In And Out Of Functions?
Nov 21, 2005I'm creating a soundboard, and and I've been using Flash for about 2 weeks and Actionscript for about a week, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance. I've used google to look for specific things to no avail so here I am.Okay, so, I have a soundboard that, when pressing a button, it will hide or show certain buttons on the page, to give the feeling of multiple pages. All my visibility stuff works like a champ.
Right now, in the working version of my soundboard, I'm not using functions to instantiate my linkable objects, create the array, or populate the array to hold the linkable objects. I would like to use functions to make my code less obtuse. I looked around for a while trying to figure out how to pass an array of objects into a function but i haven't had much success. I'm not quite sure if it's even possible to do. These are the errors I get:
1120: Access of undefined property playArraySound001.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static type Class.
1120: Access of undefined property playArraySound001.
1120: Access of undefined property GordonSoundArray.
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
The first code is what works, the next code is the stuff that doesn't work.This is the working version
Code:
//////////// CODE FOR PLAYING SOUNDS
//// This is creating an instance of the Linkable object
var playArraySound001:Link_10_minutes = new Link_10_minutes();
var playArraySound002:Link_3_eggs = new Link_3_eggs();

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Put Strings / Functions Into Arrays
Dec 6, 2010When I experimented with it, I tried to push one string and one function named "moveRight" into the array,
Code:
_behaviours.push("1", moveRight);
trace("_behaviours: " +_behaviours);
But when I trace the content of the array, I get
Code:
_behaviours: 1,function Function() {}
Why is my function moveRight, being renamed to "Function", and how do I call the different functions if I have several of them in one array? The purpose of all this is to make a simple AI system for my game enemies. After the enemies are added to stage, a special function would calculate a random number based on the number of entries in the array and then make the enemy perform the chosen function.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arrays From Flash To PHP
Jul 20, 2011Overview of Issue: A person will enter up to 8 words. Each word is then stored in a dynamically generated text box (responseTextArray[i]) within a dynamically generated movie clip (responseBubbleArray[i]). From here they will drag the bubbles into positions on the stage. Finally all of this information is to be stored in a database. To identify each entry, I put them into arrays. How can I pass all these arrays to a PHP script,so that I can store them in a MySQL database? Or, is there a better way to accomplish what I have described? The plan is to have each user entry and its attributes (response time, response text, x position of bubble, y position of bubble) stored as a row in the database.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arrays From Javascript ?

I need to send Arrays to and fro Javascript / Actionscript 3.I tried the javascript/as gateway from http://osflash.org/flashjs. It's done in actionscript 2 and I might have to migrate it to as3. I am not sure how long it would take.And I tried the ExternalInterface class in AS3. But it seems only strings can be passed using the addCallBack() and call() methods. Moreover I was not able to reslove the security issues when the flash player tried to communicate with the javascript.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables Between Functions?
Oct 16, 2007I am building a flash photo gallery that is fed by an XML file, now I am fine with all of the XML things in flash, my problem comes when creating the thumbnail images onRelease event. Here is my code:

for (_global.counter = 0; _global.counter<itemArray.length; _global.counter++) {
//populate thumbnail array with URLS

The problem is that when I release the mouse button I get a variable undefined error in the output window. I have researched and have found that my problem is that I can't pass a variable from the main function to the onRelease function.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters To Event Functions?
Dec 16, 2008I like reusing functions repeatedly so I pass the object to the function (blur, drop shadow, etc.) but if an Event or MousEvent function is involved, I have to do things I don't like. In my example, I had to put the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE function as a sub function of the setTimer function. I would rather keep the functions apart but I don't know how to pass a parameter to the event function to tell it what movieclip(timerObject) to fade in. Is there a better way to do this?
View 2 RepliesFlash :: Passing Values Through Functions In Mxml?
Feb 11, 2012I currently have a basic application where we have multiple buttons, which have functions activated by "click" event listeners on those buttons. The issue is that each button does more or less the same function; just the data that is loaded for each button is different. How do I make it so I'm able to recycle the same function? In Javascript or AS3 something along these lines would be done...
<s:Button id="btn_1" x="378" y="601" label="Button 1" click="photoSwap(event,"image1.jpg")"/>
<s:Button id="btn_2" x="350" y="601" label="Button 2"
[Code].....
But that's obviously not how it works. I've tried trouble shooting the issue but haven't been able to find anything. It works when I have each button having its own function, but that seems really silly and shouldn't need to be done.
