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 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?

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 :: Boolean - Set Value Of HomeShown Or ContactShown True?

Jan 9, 2011

ActionScript Code:
var homeShown:Boolean; //Default of false
var contactShown:Boolean; //Default of false
homeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navFunction()); //Listen for the home button to be clicked
contactButton.addEventListener(MousEvent.CLICK, navFunction()); //Listen for the contact button to be clicked
[Code] .....
Can I not do this, it does not seem to work, the value of homeShown and contactShown never get altered and they should, so it always returns a value of true.

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

May 4, 2009

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:

I know I could do this with an ifStatement in the myToggleBtn.onRelease, but am wondering if there is a better more efficient way to write this. Something like setPlayAllBtn(!= playAllOn); <!-- Obviously that one does not work...

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.

The layers are all simply graphics that have been imported and the only functino they have on the time line is that they each come in at different times during the playback of the movie. I'd like to have the ability to toggle the individual layer when a user clicks the button.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Toggling Between Two Button Symbols

May 5, 2009

I am new to AS, but not new to programming.I'm using Flash CS4.I have two button symbols, PlayBTN and PauseBTN. They are used to control the playback of a slideshow. When I use either one or the other to control the slideshow, it works. However, what I want to do is toggle between the two buttons, so that they work together like this:

1. If the slideshow is playing, PauseBTN is visible. If PauseBTN is clicked, the slideshow stops, and PlayBTN becomes visible.

2. If the slideshow is paused, PlayBTN is visible. If PlayBTN is clicked, the slideshow stops, and PauseBTN becomes visible.

In other words, clicking the button not only controls the slideshow, but changes which button is visible.I had this working using a two-frame movie clip and static bitmaps, but when I swap out the bitmaps for the buttons, the button rollovers stop working.
