ActionScript 3.0 :: Trace A String In Another Swf
Apr 25, 2011
I'm familiar with AS2 and just now beginning AS3. I have a main or root SWF that will call other SWFs. In the past I would put them on levels but now I know with AS3 that isn't so. I will only load one swf at a time. Each will replace the other. I'm using addChild and it seems to work.I really want the Stage SWF to check inside the added child SWF for a String. What is the correct syntax for that in AS3. I have done many attempts but nothing. The last trace I ran was:trace(MovieClip(clipLoader.content)); and that gave me [object MainTimeline]. FYI - The string is "BtnName".[code]

If I have a FLA compiled as say "myfile.swf", how do I output in a trace the name "myfile.swf"i.e var rootname:String = thisIsTheThingIWantToFind;I am trying to display to a user the embed code for a widget and need to put in the string the name of the widget.I could hard code the name in (as I am currently doing) but I want to make it dynamic for when I change the filename.

I am learning actionscript, and right now I am trying to trace the first character of a string I've declared.
Code:
var myString:String = "Informationsvidenskab";
trace(myString.charAt(i:myString=1):String;
My flashbuilder debug says:
Multiple markers at this line:
-String
-1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon.
-1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon.
-1 changed line

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I've been trying this for hours with no prevale. I can only presume I'm over complicating things.
I've generated a awkward looking string using variables, and arrays:
Code:
var someVar:string = "hello";
var myArray:Array = new Array("test0", "test1", "test2");
var myString:string = someVar+"World_"+myArray[2]);

is it possible to trace/get a variable that's defined in a "main" .swf, from an external SWF that has been loaded onto the "main" SWF?
for example, if i have 2 SWF files called "main.swf" and "sub_page.swf"..
the code in "main.swf" is:
Code: Select all // create and define a variable
var currentInformation:String;
[code]...
i tried putting "Object(root)" before "currentInformation" and it still wont work...

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.

I'm using:

But I keep getting an "Error #2030: End of file was encountered." This is (probably) because the class I'm serializing is too big for the "String" object type in AS3. Is there a limitless object for storing an array of characters (or better yet binary), or am I going to have to make my own class? (like one with an array of strings)

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):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

Basically I'm trying to output the contents of an XML document into a dynamic text field (as loaded - not just its node values and content - the entire thing - into a variable called _root.log). The text field is set to show the variable value of _root.log.This is the actionscript...

Im playing around with the last.fm api... Specifically the "getLovedtracks" call.... [URL] This is a weird one that I have never come across... The above call requires a username to return a track listing so if I hard code the username into my class like this.... var username:string = "aidanmack" No problems the call works... if I make that username equal to a dynamic text box string that has "aidanamck" typed into it..
so something like... var username:string = mystage.textbox.text
the last.fm api wont except this... I get user does not exist But if I check the call with the charles proxy Flash is defo sending the username "aidanmack" So I wonder if its to do with have how last.fms api interprets the string?

I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

I have an Object which stores pairs for a find and replace that I perform on up to 1500 Strings at a time.The Object is populated with pairs using a method that will accept a String and then store this as a property with the value being an automatically assigned base 36 number, like this:[code]nextShort returns an automatically incremented value being the subject of .toString(36), so running the above a few times might make _pairs look like this:[cod]ehowever in my mind I foresee a massive problem in a case where I might want to "shorten" 2000+ Strings and the _pairs Object has at the same time has over 500 pairs.That ends up being 1,000,000 iterations all up which obviously doesn't seem very efficient at all.
