Is it possible to store multiple variables of different types inside 1 object. It would be ideal to have a separate property for each variable, but not required. Is there a way to do this?
View 2 RepliesI would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

instead of using PHP, could i store variables in a .AS file? like [URL] so that if your score was greater than the variable there, it could change it, and it could get it too at the beginning, and print it out...

View 4 RepliesFor the calculator i am creating i have so far got all d buttons inputting into the display area such as the numbers and the operators. However for the operators when i try to store the value into two number variables 'num1' and 'num2', i traced them to test if they were working fine however they output as 'NaN'. here is the code i have so far and the highlighted area is what i am working on currently
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var btn:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {[code].......
I need to see if the number is stored when i click on d operator. In the trace It is meant to display the number entered after i click on a operator but it displays as 'NaN' I am guessing all of that function has mistakes. it is function pressOperator i am working with
create, save, or store variables in event handlers (or functions invoked in them), to be used outside in the main body of a program. I am working on a project that is requiring me to load an XML file and then manipulate certain children in the file. Basically I'm trying to make a question and answer post with the XML storing the actual question and answers, also I'm trying to read in the max number of questions the XML file holds, and any other information. My problem is is that data stored in variables during the event or the function invoked due to the event isn't saved afterward.Here's a simple code from a site on google dealing with loading XML below for reference:
var loadmyXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("test.xml"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
[code]....
After the event is processed loadmyXML is emptied, so using it in the main body is pointless since the object doesn't contain any data. In C/C++ you'd have to pass objects by reference in order to modify them for outside use, but I haven't seen ANY syntax to show how you'd do that in events here. Like I'd prefer to save loadmyXML, store loadmyXML.questions.length() in a variable also, etc.
It's been a long time since I've used global variables in C so I've forgotten how they really work, but couldn't you just address them / change them inside of a function without ever calling them and it would reflect outside in the main program?
I'm getting back into AS after a few years, and it's taking a bit to get used to the syntax of AS 3.0.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to the following in AS 2.0, so I wonder if it's even possible.
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to call a variable, the name of which is stored in another variable.
How would I write something like "NextToDisappear.alpha = 0;" and have it interpreted as "MC4.alpha = 0" instead of giving an error message complaining that variables don't have alpha properties?
In other words, is there a way to make it interpret a variable as its contents and not as itself when on the left side of an equals sign? Similar to the difference between quotes and no quotes when working with the contents of text variables.
I'm trying to use associative arrays to store my variables but am looking for a solution to change the value of array1[i] to array2[i]. Since it's an associative array, the only way I know how to loop through these kinds of arrays is by the following:
Code:
for(var i in array1) {
trace(array1[i];
}
What I would do when using indexed arrays to change the value of array1[i] to array2[i] would be something like this:
Code:
for(i=0; i<array1.length; i++) {
array1[i] = array2[i];
}
However, I can't see any way you can do this with associative arrays because they do not have a numbered index such that in a loop you could
say array1[i] = array2[i] .
So I'm looking for a way to do this with associative arrays.
I want to store the name of an xml node in a static var like so:[code]but when then i go and wrtie for example:myxmlList:XMLList = myXml.NODENAME;it is non working.what kind of variable do I need to use??
View 2 RepliesCode:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numOfItems; i++) {
var t:MovieClip = "item"+i;
t.onRelease = activator;
}
This returns an error saying that there is a type mismatch because "item"+i is a string. It is a string, but it's also the instance name of an MC on the stage.
Let's say I have 30 MC's on the stage named item1, item2, item3, etc. Instead of assigning an onRelease statement to each of these manually I thought I could just run them through a for loop. They are not dynamic clips though, not at this point anyway.
i also has another problem here is the senario .first i select the square (there are too many object one of is square )then click the button now my event target is button previous one is square so i need to change the square(object) using that button.
View 10 RepliesI have a AS2 netstream instance, in which I am loading various flv's into. The 'main' video has links to other visble when its playing. I want to be able to store the position of the flv (in seconds) so that when the user comes back to the 'main' video it remembers where it was and contiues to play. This is the code I have written so far regarding this (its probably massively wrong).

I have a variable (array) in my ActionScript 2 file, called webshop.Is this possible to store in a cookie (or PHP session) so if a user visit my shop and add items to the basket (the variable webshop) and leaves the page, but then returns later on it will create the variable with the users already stored items?I think it would be most intuitive if it only stores the variable for the browser session, so if you close the browser and open it again it will reset the variable. But if you just leave the page it should save it.

View 5 RepliesI ve a bit of missunderstood about functions: as i read the functions works:
basically 2 types:
named (can be lonely)
unamed (need and object)
- can i define a function wherever i want? ( _root, MC...) and call it from everywhere?, before or after i created it?
- if the variables of a function are local variables of that function. How can i store the result of a calculation of the function, in a variable outside it?
im creating 100 movie clips through duplicate movie and assigning each MC an instance name of eh_1, eh_2, eh_3 etc... on rollover i would like to have have them store in a variable which button number they are.to detect rollovers and presses, im just using

is there anyway i can detect which button was pressed and store into a variable the number?
