ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Variables To Parent?

Feb 8, 2010

I have loaded a movie clip into the "root" from the library using addChild. Inside this loaded movieclip, I need to populate a variable, but this variable is in the main time. The value must be sent when the user click on the clip that has been loaded. I have tried the following using a mouse click event listener.

MovieClip(this.parent).currentScore = 20;

but it won't work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Up Parent Movie Clips?

Jun 25, 2009

I have my flash website set up with the following structure:

Scene 1:
- Menu buttons located in Scene 1 -> navigation_mc
- Page 1 (Company page) located in Scene 1 -> companypage_mc
- Page 2 (Portfolio) located in Scene 1 -> portfoliopage_mc
- etc... a total of 4 pages.

As you can see, I have each function of the website in its own layer and movie clip, so my question is how do I access a movie clip outside of the current movie clip?

I want my company_btn (company button) in navigation_mc to navigate back outside to scene 1 and proceed to play the contents of companypage_mc. companypage_mc is visible = false, and I would like to make its visibility true and start its tweens from frame 1.

Inside navigation_mc:

company_btn -> On Click, go to scene 1 and play frame 1 of companypage_mc, making visibility = true.

AS3 :: Flash - Setting Dynamic TextField.text From A Parent MovieClip?

Mar 4, 2010

I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:

//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;

ActionScript 2.0 :: [F8] Setting Variables From External Txt?

Feb 20, 2009

I am trying to control some of the global variables in my script through an external text file.I have a variable called "_global.scrollOrNot", which determines whether I want flash to use the text window with a scroll-bar or the one without a scroll-bar. I am trying to control that through an external text-file called "ScrollCommand.txt". Here is my code:

the external txt states:

&sb1WindowScroll=yes
frame1:
_global.scrollOrNot;

[code]....

this is were I have a problem. It will always choose "MCtextFeldSB1noscroll". I have tested the whole thing with other variables, which were not changed by any LoadVars function and it works just fine then. As soon as I change the variable using the LoadVars function it will not work any more.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Variables In A FOR Loop?

Apr 23, 2009

I used to dynamically set some variables using a FOR loop kinda like so PHP Code:

//Sorry, from memory
var possibleValues:Array = ["red","green","blue","yellow"];
for (i=0;i<possibleValues._length;i++){
_root["colorNumber"+i] = possibleValues[i];
}

Second question, using that code in a function would set the variables at the root level making them available throughout the timeline. Without "_root" how do I get that variable available to everything?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting And Then Checking Against Variables?

Jun 14, 2005

how I could somehow create an "if then" statement with variables for my website.

Basically I just want to have a button that checks for a certain variable when you click it (I want it to check if a movie, lets call it "movie1" is already loaded). If it comes back false, then movie1 and movie2 both get loaded.

This way, after movie1 is loaded for the first time, it wont be loaded again. Basically, movie1 is just my background for all my other movies. So clicking button1 for the first time would load movie1 and movie2. Clicking button2 AFTER button1 was clicked would only load movie3.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Variables For Timer Function

Jan 1, 2011

I'm making an animation of calculating a projectile motion with air resistance based on Python code from [URL]. I include the relevant portions of codes as follow. I'm not familiar of the vector object in AS3 so I translate them into variables as follow:

Actionscript Code:
//timer related variablesvar
fps:uint = stage.frameRate;var interval:Number = 1/fps;
var myTimerYes:Timer = new Timer(1000/fps);
//air resistance timermyTimerYes.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, startSimYes);
function startSimYes(e:TimerEvent):void{
[Code] .....

The timer activates when the user clicks the start button. The start buttons set the variables for the timer function. The variables are created at the start of the actionscript file. The code of the start button is:

Actionscript Code:
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goTimer);
function goTimer(e:MouseEvent):void{m = int(airText_mc.mass_txt.text);
A = int(airText_mc.refA_txt.text);
Cd = int(airText_mc.Cd_txt.text);
rho = int(airText_mc.density_txt.text);
[Code] .....

The result I get is the aX = 0 all the time, even after the update I specified in the timer codes. I can't understand what's wrong with the code, it's supposed to be updating every time the timer goes on.

Flex :: Setting Variables During Component Initialization

Oct 25, 2010

I am loading a component which makes a HTTPService call to get data that will then be used to set certain variables in the component. I make the HTTPService call in an init() function (for the initialization event) and then set the variables according to the data received in the HTTPService result handler. However, the variables are still null at both the initialize stage and at the creationComplete stage. If I try and read the variables in a creationComp() function (for the creationComplete event), those variables are still null. Is this correct?

I guess I don't understand the flex initialization cycle very well. When are those variables actually set and available to be used? I need to manipulate those variables automatically after the component loads. Is there an event that comes after creationComplete that is appropriate or some other way to approach this? I am using Flex 3.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Global Variables Within MovieClips

Dec 9, 2010

I'm working on a Flash game (AS3) and have come to a point where I need to change the value of a global boolean variable from within a movieclip. After searching all over I have yet to find a solution. Essentially, the problem is that I have a movieclip that contains a section of animation for my game. When this movieclip is told to begin its animation, it checks these global variables to see which of six animations to play. When it finishes any of these animations, I need to set the associated variable and increase the score.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Variables From Parent Movie?

Feb 3, 2009

What I am trying to do used to be very simple. I have a variable set in move A. Movie A embeds another move (Movie B) into a movie clip. Is there a simple way to call a varaible from movie a through movie b?If you need a little more detail here is what I am trying to accomplish. Movie a loads a list of information from a xml file and uses that data to set some variables within the content. (ie. based on the data it might caculate that the user listed in the xml file likes golf) Then it sets golf to true in Movie A. My problem is i need this variable throughout several of my movies and I dont want to do the calculation in ever single movie clip. I am sure I am making this much harder than it needs to be.
