ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Instance Names Into An Array
Jun 30, 2010How do you pass instance names into arrays? I've got a bunch of movieClips of states.
They all have instance names.. alabama, arkansas, delaware, florida, georiga, etc..
I am trying to send them all to an array because I need to be able to disable the movieClips all at once and I don't want to call each one separately. I setup an array and a "for" loop, and it properly gets each value in the array:
ActionScript Code:
states = new Array(alabama, arkansas, delware, florida, georgia);
stateslength = states.length;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Array Variables By Value Not Reference
Dec 11, 2006It took me hours to figure our why this was returning the wrong value - when assigning one array to another it passes by reference not Value. I need a way to force it to pass by values. e.g. copy the existing array and have the second array reference it, so i am free to modify the first array without changing the values of the second.[code]From the example above You see that in Actionscript when assigning one variable to another it does it my reference not value. So when you chage the value of one array it changes the value of the other automatically.I need to have the "test2" variable reference the "test1" array only by value so if modify "test1" the values of "test2" won't be modified.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Use Local Instance Variables Vs Attach New Properties To The Instance Object?
Mar 14, 2006I am wrapping my brain around OOP in AS2. I am making two posts on two different subjects. My question here is: when should I use local instance variables, and when should I attach new properties to the instance object? (Feel free to correct my terminology.) Let's say I have a class for a scrolling background, which scrolls when I mouse over its edge. I want to put these values somewhere:
1) How wide is the border in which a mouseOver makes it scroll? This is basically a semi-constant I set it up once and keep it the same, unless the user changes it in an options menu to make the border wider or narrower. Call this scrollBorderWidth.
2) How fast is the background scrolling now? I want to track this so I can smoothly change the scroll speed over several frames. This is often changed. Call this scrollSpeed.
It seems I have two ways I can store and access these values and darned if I know which is better practice. METHOD A: Make them local variables in the class, so the scrolling background instance has them as local vars. I set them up thusly:

Actionscript 3 :: Targeting Specific JavaScript Object Instance From Flash
Jan 27, 2011first time poster. Let's say a have flash(swf) object on my page, and I have a specific JavaScript class (lets call it "JSClass")that works with that flash object. JavaScript class has some methods for communicating with the flash object. When the flash object is embedded in to page via swfObject, I create an instance of the JSClass, and give it the id of the flash object on the page, so that instance can specifically communicate with that flash object. I have more than one same flash file on the page, and I need to differentiate calls to specific flash objects. Something like this:
[Code].....
How can I call "flashControl1.onFlashReady()" from flash? Note that flash doesn't know which JSCLass instance to target. How can target particular JSClass instances from flash object.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Targeting Variables On Different Timelines
May 7, 2011Flash CS4, ActionScript2.0 - I have a button and an input text box in a movieclip.When the button is clicked, I need the movie to jump to a frame on the main timeline and have the text that was entered into the input box in the mc, show up in a dynamic text box in the frame on the main timeline.I finally got the movie to jump using 'with (_root) gotoAndPlay ("frame label"), but I can't get the input text value (in the mc) assigned to the dynamic text box (on the main timeline).I've tried several versions of relative and absolute paths in the assignment statement, using variable names and instance names, tried 'with' and 'this' but no matter what I do, nothing shows up in the dynamic text box.

Jul 9, 2009I am working on building a menu of seven buttons (movieclips). When you click on one, it turns it blue. When you click on another one, the previous one needs to revert back to green.What I'm doing is, when you click on the buttons... it loads a number (1-7, depending on the button) into a global variable (menuActive). That variable is then referenced to check which button needs to be turned green when you click on the next button.[code]I have two problems:
1) It doesn't seem to be appending the value of 'a' to the targeted instance name correctly. (If I replace _parent.mcBtn+a with _parent.mcBtn7, for example, it works fine.)
2) It also seems to be keeping the "this.gotoAndPlay("btnOn"); parts from working properly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing App - Targeting Objects In An Array
Sep 7, 2009This seems like it should be fairly simple, but for some reason Im getting caught up when it comes to removing a layer from my drawing app, and when moving the layers up and down in the display list. My first problem is that when I do the (canvas.removeChild(layers[value]); it removes the child of the targeted layer, but it also removes the child of the objects before it? I think anyways.
The second problem is that my layerUp function works, but my layerDown does not, even though they are the same code? Confused I am indeed. I'm sure its fairly messy since Im just learning this stuff, so sorry for that too!

ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash 8] Targeting And IFrame From A Link Array?
Sep 25, 2007I have dynamic links that I'm pulling from an already published RSS feed [URL] using the xml in said document.Now, the 'client' wants the video links from this document to link to an iframe above the flash interface. No problems targeting the iframe when the links are hardcoded into the flash piece, but they want complete control (yes, I know they're asking for a miracle). Here's my piece so far:[URL]
Here's the function and variable that pulls the links and titles: Code:
Code:
function getPageTitle(ind):String{
var this_text = "<a href='" + _level0.link_array[ind] + "'>" + _level0.title_array[ind] + "</a>";
return this_text;
This is what I tried (along with just single quotes and double quotes), but to no avail: Code:
Code:
function getPageTitle(ind):String{
var this_text = "<a href='" + _level0.link_array[ind] + "'" + ", "video_swap">" + _level0.title_array[ind] + "</a>";
return this_text;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Instance Name To Function As A Variable?
Apr 24, 2006k the idea is that this movie keeps tracks of whatever page it's on using the variable current. when the button evolution is clicked it should jump to frame 2 of the movie whose instance name is contained in the variable current and also pass this variable to a function called alpha which fade that movie's instance when moving to another page - then that page's name will be assigned to current.
this is the code that i have now..
#include "alpha.as"
evolution.onRelease = function() {
this[current].gotoAndPlay(2);
this[current].alpha(5, 0);
};
all these buttons and movie instances are contained in the same movie clip and the variable current is declared in it too.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Instance In A Dynamically Defined Function
Feb 20, 2012I'm trying to define this function so I can pass the CardButtons sprite to the Add Cards function. It "works" but there's one problem: the CardButtons sprite used in the function is determined by the value of i at the time of the function call (or in other words, the value of i when I click the sprite).
I want the sprite passed to be literally the value of CardButtons[i] at the point when the function was defined.
CardButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CardFunctions[i]= function(){ AddCards(CardButtons[i],PlayerHand[player-1][PlayerHand[player-1].len gth-1]);});
Is there a way I can do this, or is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
I guess for further example:
I want CardFunction[0] to store the AddCards function with the value of CardButtons[0] passed, it should NOT be dependent on the value of i.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing XML-based Hyperlink Into A Button Instance?
Jun 23, 2007I'm currently trying to load specific XML data as a hyperlink into a button,the hyperlink is saved in the xml-file, and called upon by "childURL", now if I assign this function to the child_mc, which is formed into a menu dynamically within an instance named emptyMC, it will give me the link:
Code:
btnLink.onRelease = function() {
getURL(childURL, "_blank");
};
problem is I want to assign the link, when the child_mc-movieclip is clicked, to a button named 'linkbutton' on the main stage which will then load the page assigned in the xml-file when clicked.How would I load this data inside the button on stage? All codes I tried just open my browser and link to nowhere.
