I have the as file attached to stage, and I would like to use the variable and function from that as file inside a movieclip. Unfortunately when I called up that function or trying to use variables it would always say the function or the variable is undefined. Is there a way to access the variable and function from as file?

My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
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?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.

View 1 RepliesI have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access

I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this

public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {

Is this "kosher"? a was declared in the private function but added to something outside the function..?

View 1 RepliesIm using Oracle, BlazeDS, Java & Flex. I have an ArrayCollection containing data from a small database table. This table won't be the subject of much change. I want to use this ArrayCollection accross different mxml files to fill e.g. ComboBoxes etc. The reason for asking, is that doing a database call for each time a fill a ComboBox etc is slow and seems unnecessary. I tried doing this once in the "main" .mxml file, but then the variable wasn't accessible where i needed it. What is the best approach for accomplishing this task? What is the best way of making a variable accesible across .mxml files?

I am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.

View 10 Repliesso I am trying to embed xml files for a game based on the button I select. I assume I would need an event listener, however I do not know how the function should look.
Code:
[Embed(source="folder/jonesy.sng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
[Embed(source="folder/markysng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
[Embed(source="folder/John.sng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
The instance name for the button is "jonesy", "John" , "Marky". I would like when the user selects the button jonesy, the above code is activated.
If the user selects " John, or Marky" the corresponding embed code for those are loaded.
I have
Code:
jonesy.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whichxml);
John.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whichxmljohn);
function whichxml (e:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
this isnt' working though. Not sure what is missing, or if it just needs to be an IF Then statment.I guess embeds have to go on the intro frame, or first frame? But, the problem I have is that, I have so many embeds it is freezing the whole game.
in a for loop I call an eventlistener function that loads xml files. But the for loop keeeps running without waiting for xml to load.What should I do to prevent that? I need for i=0 {load xml}and after xml is loaded go to next step, which is i=1.
View 8 RepliesI want to load an external .swf file through the loadMovie function. The problem is flash takes sometime to load the file and therefore what ever commands I put below the loadMovie function, will not work. Placing this commands say 10 frames from the loadMovie function works but when online and you have a slow internet connection, it yet again fails. How do I solve this problem? I tried using onLoad but from what I gathered from several sites, it will not work with LoadMovie.

I have then loaded in a php file with a variable which will contain the number for the frame i want the animation to stop on.

How do I bind the value of tool to the function so that it's accessible on callback?
Can't seem to get the value of myXML outside the function, despite being declared outside. The data loads and traces correctly inside the function.
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("flightPlannerBoard.xml"));
var myXML:XML;
// Check XML data fully loaded
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void {
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
//trace(myXML);
} trace(myXML);

I'd like to have a number of different functions named something like: "function1", "function2", "function3", all the way up to function100.
I'd like to be able to call them by adding the the number as a variable. For example:
type = 2;
function+type();
Which would call function2. I'm trying to avoid a huge if/else statement by only calling the functions I need.
Can a function be called if part of the function name is a variable? Is there another way to join "function" with the variable and then call it?
