Working on a game where I load the level details from a XML file. In the XML file I list of the names of characters that I want to show on the screen; i.e. Snoop, Kilerz, Matts, etc.In my FLA file I have MovieClips that are named Snoop, Kilerz, Matts, etc.Currently I do this in my Character function:[code]so I can eliminate the switch statement as I have about 15 characters. When I use the new this[charId] I get the following error (for charId = "Snoop":error: Error #1069: Property Snoop not found on Character and there is no default value.

does anyone know if declaring new variables within a switch statement (inside of case: break actually creates new variables inside those switch statements, or are the variable declarations moved to the top of the function when compiled?
i know that when declaring new variables inside a for or while loop, the compiler declares those variables at the beginning of the function. is it the same for if or switch statements?
This is really hard to explain. Probably because its late and I am now totally confused and lost. Check out this page [URL] I want A, B, C, D, E all drag-able. when D is dragged B should mirror D's position X and Y plus E should follow D's X position, This works, try it. The opposite, When B is dragged, D should mirror B, and E should follow B's X, NOT working

I am trying to create a Flash styled shopping cart to integrate into my website. When the "Add to Cart" button is clicked, i am displaying the corresponding text down the side of the stage. However I need a "Total Price" Dynamic text field to display the Total price of all items clicked!I am new to flash and it's proving very difficult to me, as the only way i could think of doing this is creating Boolean variables with all the items and if "add to cart" had been clicked Boolean = True... But how do I code the addition of prices? and cater for all the variations that are possible?
View 15 RepliesI have a students xml from a database. The student_state column can have a value of "passed", among other values (hence the need for switch statement). When the list_changeHandler function is called, depending on the value of student_state, I want a form to display different fields. So I tried to dynamically create the form in actionscript, but it fails to show up when I run the flex application:

I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.
If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
ActionScript Code:
/stage variables
var sH:Number;
var sW:Number;

I have a menu movieclip and an externally loaded swf on my main stage. The menu mc needs to control the externally loaded swf. For example the swf plays and pauses, then when any of the menu buttons are clicked the swf needs to play thru and be removed. currently I am dispatching an event for each button clicked with a switch statement. In the main timeline I need to listen for each of theses events and based on what button is clicked proceed to the correct content frame. How can I listen for different events and run one function that based on which event is registered perform a task with a switch or if statement?

3 groups of checkboxes that control visibility. Each group of checkboxes would be controlled by a radio button. That is, when radio 1 is true, the corresponding groups of checkboxes is enabled and the user can click away, making the corresponding movie clips become visible or invisible. The other two groups of checkboxes would be disabled. Then, when radio 2 is true, IT'S group of checkboxes would become enabled, and the others disabled, etc. So I thought I would try using a switch statement and put all movie clips and their corresponding checkboxes in arrays

But obviously it doesn't work. This is my first time working with a switch statement in Flash. Am I missing something obvious or is it a matter of a quoation mark missing or what? I'm not totally sure what belongs in the case () itself.
Sequence of events:2 SWFs running entirely separately load the same library class then load the same XML and save an attribute as a property (PS) of an Object (ob)It's then parsed through a switch statement like this:
PHP Code:
switch(String(ob.PS)){ case 'TW': d='ThumbsW/'; break; case 'TH': d='ThumbsH/'; break;//...... etc
So the classes are idential in both situations, only the loading swf changes.In one case it needs ob.PS to be typed as a string (as shown - else it drops to the default).In the other case it does NOT need ob.PS to be typed as a string!Same class, same switch statement, parsing same data (loaded from XML) yet behaving very differently!
