ActionScript 3.0 :: Switch A Boolean Variable To True After A Mouse Click On A Movieclip?

Sep 2, 2011

I am trying to switch a boolean variable to true after a mouse click on a movieclip.

I want an animation to continue after the user has clicked both btn1 and btn2.

After researching this topic it appears that changing a variable inside a function will only effect code within that function and not the code outside of it - therefore my main Btn1Var and Btn2Var do not update to flase.

ActionScript Code:
stop()
var btn1Var:Boolean = false;
var btn2Var:Boolean = false;

[Code].....

Is there an easy way to change the original variable for each button to true after being clicked?

ActionScript :: Toggling Boolean - Always Tracing True For Mouse Click

Sep 11, 2010

This code is written in simple ActionScript, but I'm assuming this problem of mine would occur in all languages that have boolean datatypes. I'm simply clicking the stage so that my boolean variable reverses its value and than traces/prints/logs it's new value. However, it's always tracing true instead of switching between true and false for each mouse click.

var myBool:Boolean;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClickHandler);
function mouseClickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
changeBoolean(myBool);
} function changeBoolean(boolean:Boolean):void {
boolean = !boolean;
trace(boolean);
}

ActionScript 2.0 :: Boolean Variable To Control MovieClip

Mar 13, 2008

i am trying to assign boolean variables to my script that i have made, basically i have never done it before so i have no idea how to add them to my script. i am controlling movieclips using alpha levels so when a key is pressed it makes a mc =100 and when the key is released it takes the alpha back down to 0. My mc work fine along with the keypresses, its just i need more control over what has already come up.

I want to use the boolean variables so that they control the mc and stop them from playing after a certain amount of times the key is pressed. here is some of my script:

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(65)) {
trace("It's an A");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables - Set Gek Variable To True When Mouse Hits Timeline?

Dec 18, 2003

I am using this code to communicate with an easing function:

[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {_root.gek = false;
for (var i = 0; i<18; i++) {
if (_root.timeline["copy"+i].hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) { //set gek variable to true when mouse hits timeline[code]....

if "gek" is true then the easing function works and my little "easebar" moves to the mouse.Now, I want to be able to capture what i is when the mouse moves over it so that I can load an mc depending on where the easebar is.I thought I could declare a global variable (_global.j = 0) at the root and then set i to j and use j somewhere else. But i doesn't exist outside of the onClipEvent.

Professional :: Var Boolean: If True Goto And Play?

Apr 20, 2010

I made this movie in actionscript 2 and it needs a trigger. I have a counter, an integer called totalcount, and when that totalcount reaches 9, the program should jump to another scene.So I tried to put following code into the main timeline:
 
if (totalcount == 9) {
gotoAndPlay....
}
 
But even though I put a dynamic textbox on the stage with variable name totalcount, it works but it is never triggered.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Switch Smoothing To True For An Embedded Video?

Aug 9, 2010

I've got an animation with an embedded flv video in a graphic on my main timeline. The embedded video has been scaled down as I enlarge to its full original size later on in the animation. I've been racking my brain and looking all over the place for a possible solution but is there a way to switch smoothing to true for an embedded video? I've tried the old smoothing = true for the embedded video instance but it has no effect. Annoyingly the video is smoothed out nicely on the stage but when I create a swf the smoothing switches off.I don't want to separate the flv from the main fla for numerous reasons .

ActionScript 1/2 :: Toggle A Boolean When Click Button

I would like to toggle my boolean value when I click my button. My boolean var looks like this: var playAllOn:Boolean = false; Then I have a button that calls a function to set the playAllOn to the boolean value it currently is not. So, if for example if playAllOn is false, I would like to call:

Dd Eventlisenter For Mouse Click To A Movieclip?

Oct 7, 2009

from various books, I know that to add eventlisenter for mouse click to a movieclip:
 
movieClipName.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
 
then I define the function
 
function clickFunction(event:MouseEvent)
{ bla bla bla }

My questions are (as silly as they might sound!),

a) why do we need a parameter (i.e. event:MouseEvent) for clickFunction??

b) since we have a parameter for clickFunction, when we feed this function into addEventListener, why didn't we write  movieClipName.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction() );

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Variable String / Boolean

Nov 9, 2009

having an issue with a variable set. It is set as a string to default "no" on the very first frame of my movie, as follows:

var myaccess:String;
myaccess="no";

Within my movie, there is an object. When this object is pressed, it is to change the _root.myaccess="yes"; I am tracing the variable within the movie clip and it shows me: I do not understand why it is changing my string definitition from "no" to false. Because of this, my variable does not seem to change to "yes' on object (button) pressed.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip (Box) To Follow Mouse Click On Screen

Feb 15, 2010

Imagine we have a MovieClip called "box". When I click somewhere on the screen, I want the box MC to move to that position. So I wrote something like this (just for horizontal movement):

PHP Code:
onMouseDown=function(){moveTo(_xmouse);};
function moveTo(newx){box.onEnterFrame=function(){if(box._x<newx){box._x+=5;
}else if(box._x>newx){box._x-=5;}else{delete box.onEnterFrame;}};}

Now this works to a degree, except that when the box MC moves to the right position, it then proceeds to vibrate on the spot. I thought it was probably because it can never move to the exact position of _xmouse because I'm adding 10 to the x property which is why the condition is never met. However even if I just add 1 instead of 10, I still have the same problem..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Control State Of Boolean Variable

have movie clips on the stage that I have addressed as buttons[code]...

For some reason when I call the select function the variable flips from false, to true and then back to false again which causes the animation im trying to play to hitch and stop 1/2 way through.

I have used the exact same script on other objects in the file but with different instance names and they ALL work fine, this is the only one I can't get working. I have tried removing all other scripts to isolate this one but it makes no difference.

Would it be possible to use an array like this? var bomb:Array = [false,false,false]; Or would it be better in another way? Isn't it necessary to declare the variable/array to be boolean or number if it would be that type in the index? Could I also use an array for the movieclips like bomb[0].visible = true; ?

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip - Control Resize With Mouse Or Single Click / Drag

Jan 20, 2010

I'm pretty new to Flash and seem to be struggling with variable scope, events and where to put code within movieclips/main area etc. What I'm trying to do is produce a Flash movie that will allow the user to click on a tool from a selection, i.e. a circle, then click on another part of the screen to place the centre of the circle, with a second click to set the radius of the circle (an alternative would be a single click and drag to place the circle and drag it out to the desired radius.) Once the mouse if clicked a 2nd time, or the drag operation is completed, the circle will stay at the selected radius.

The code I'm using so far to test out the idea is below:
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root["item1"].onMouseMove=function(){
d = Math.sqrt(Math.abs(_xmouse-this._x)*Math.abs(_xmouse-this._x)+Math.abs(_ymouse-this._y)*Math.abs(_ymouse-this._y));
if(d<370){
this._width = d*2;
this._height = d*2;
}else{
this._width = 87;
this._height = 87;
}}}

This uses a simple circle movieclip, and the above code is placed in Frame 1 of the background as opposed to the movieclip itself. It resizes the circle movieclip ok, but I want to be able to control the resize with the mouse or with a single click/drag.
