ActionScript 3.0 :: String To Object Variable?

Feb 15, 2009

I'm trying to format a variable into the middle of an object so that I can pass the entire thing as a parameter to a javascript function via ExternalInterface, but I cannot figure out how to format the data correctly.

I need it to end up looking like this:

Code:
{gallery:'myvar'}

braces and apostrophes included. myvar would be my variable data, which is a string. I tried connecting it all together as a big string, but the javascript function didnt like that. It did accept it if I typed the entire thing staticly as an object variable and passed that. Is there any way I can format it all into a string and then convert the string data to an object? or is there another way to try and accomplish something like this?

String :: Flex - Download A String Variable As A File To The Local Machine?

Sep 21, 2011

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):

Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?

Mar 7, 2012

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:

var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........

I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Parse Out Url String Using The String Object In Flash?

Jan 13, 2005

I'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.

In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.

For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com

If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.

Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions? I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change String Variable To A MovieClip Variable?

Oct 10, 2008

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.

The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).

ActionScript 3.0 :: String Variable In Place Of Int Variable?

Jan 2, 2012

This is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.

[Code]...

Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".

To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

AS3 :: Accessing Attributes Of A Static Variable Of An Object From Another Object

Nov 7, 2009

I have 2 classes, Display holds the currently selected Component:

public class Display

}

Component has an ID string and the selectedComponent variable is set on click:

public class Component extends MovieClip
{
public var id:String;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() {

[Code]...

Removing the selectedComponent variable type so it reads public static var selectedComponent; removes the conversion error and seems to change the ID variable but it appears to only be a copy of the object.

String Variable With GotoAndPlay?

Apr 8, 2009

I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.

I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.

I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.

I am trying to get the following to work:

Code:

// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {
