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);
}

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?

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.

i want my if statement to check if boolean is true so here is my code.
name:Boolean = new Boolean();
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myMouseEvent);function myMouseEvent(event:MouseEvent):void{ name:Boolean = true; if(name:Boolean = true) { //code to run....
}
Syntax error:expecting right paren before colon.
probably a simple explanation that i cannot this of.

I want to leave the for each loop as soon as the boolean is set to true.

I've tried break and such, but this all doesn't work.

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.

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:
[Code]....
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...

Currently I have a rotating globe with 2 buttons. when i click on "right" button, it will go to next frame. when i click on "left button", it will go to prev frame. I have no problem making it rotating fully.
But now I'm trying to make the globe rotate itself when I mouse over the button. And globe will stop when I mouse out.

i have a hit test point on display object, and if i exit stage over that display object, and then run hit test point it will return true, although my mouse is not over stage area any more, like it remembers the last mousex, mousey coordinates where mouse was and reports that.how do i deal with it?i know i can detect mouse_leave on stage and mouse_out on displayobject.

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.

about.buttonMode = true;
about.useHandCursor = true;
I have this on a MC I use for a button - and it works but only on HALF of the object - how can I make so it works on the whole object itself?

I just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?

I am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:
[Code]...
The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.

I am looking for a way to simulate a mouse hover/mouse click. What's happening is a bar is autoscrolling and checking to see if there is an active button 'below' it. Sort of like a bar rolling along a music staff and checking for notes.
What can I use to accomplish this?

Is there a way have smoothing = true on an image on the stage that isn't dynamically added.I know about "allow smoothing" .What I want to do is have the image smoothing = true when mouse is over the image so a tween event can occur. The reason I want to do it like this is because I don't like it when "allow smoothing'is ticked the image is blurred.

I've got several layers in the timeline and I'd like to know the most effecient method to toggle the visibility of any one of the layers when a user clicks a button I have on the form.
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.

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.

I have a button in action script with toggle="true". Now when I click the button its color changes and it looks as if it has been disabled (but its actually not). I need to know which property of this button has changed? For example if I need to know somewhere in my code the "toggled state" (if there is any such thing) of this button, which property of this button should I check?

If I "Right Mouse Click" on a Flash SWF file embedded in a page and click "Print" it prints just the flash, in perfect colour etc etc..How can I achieve this exact operation, but as a button in Flash? So it prints just as if I did the above operation.
As an extra, if you know how - Is there any way I can default the page to print out "Landscape" too ?
