Actionscript :: Only Assigning A Piece Of String To Variable?
May 23, 2011
I have a XML document that I have to hard-code into AS (Yes, I HAVE to). I am trying to assign this xml to a string but for some reason on the xml doc declaration is assigned?[code]...
When I trace out the xmlDoc string I always only get "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
I have tried putting the whole document in one string surrounded by 's and concatinating the string like above. Why is the string var only getting assigned to the first line?[code]...

I have a LoadVars object called loadText in which an external variable is loaded from a text file. Now, the whole thing works, I just want to create a template to optimize the system, so here is what I need: The external variable (in an external text file) is called page1. I am assigning that external variable to a local variable (at this point the external text has already been loaded in loadText, of course):

I'm trying to make a Welcome ("User") animation for an eLearning template, and was asked to do it in AS3, which my team and I don't really have experience with (most of us stick w/ AS2 cos we're timeline oriented people), but the manager figured the best way would be to dive right in.The goal is to have handrawn letters w/ vignettes behind (like medieval books have) display a user's username (8-10 characters), which will be stored in one of two javascript variables, depending on which LMS the course is loaded into (one SCORM 2004, and one AICC).
I am able to get a loop to trace one letter at a time, which is a good start, I think, but getting the drawn object to go into an MC based on the characters is beyond me. I am also having trouble finding out how to check for the existence the vars on the HTML page.I have 10 empty MCs on the stage, with instance names of b0-b9, and the MCs with the images in them (yeah, they could just be graphic objects, but whatever) are titled iA-iZ and i0-i9.All I have thus far is
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.*

I followed a dynamic gallery scrolling thumbs tutorial and then changed it quite a bit to fit my needs.
I basically added a previous and next button and image title box.
It all works great apart from one thing.
e.g. I click on thumb 5. I then use the next button and go to say... image15. I then click on thumb 9. When I use the prev or next button again it will resume from image15, but it should then carry on from thumb 9 as that was the last change I made.
I thought this would be as simple as assigning the thumb variable value to the image number variable. i.e myID = id; but it doesn't work. my variable myID actually loses its value when I click the thumb image (I used the trace to clarify).
Here is the code.
PHP Code:
function bttnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
bttn.gotoAndStop(1);
root.logo.visible = false;
myID = id;

I have a problem which i hope some one can help me with. I am loading in data from an XML file. This works fine, i can trace the contents of the XML file. The problem i have is this. I want to save each attribute to a class variable so i can call upon it with a getter method.The code is below:
Code:
package XML
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
[code]....
If i trace(path) inside the processXML() its displays as expected. but if i fire my getter method path() im returned a value of null.

I have a for loop - for (var i:int=0; i< results.length; i++)
and in this for loop a button is created - var multiplereportButton:Button = new Button();
I would like the integer value from i to be appended onto the name of the variable, so I thought this would work: var multiplereportButton + i:Button = new Button();

I've seen many times the following procedure to assign a variable name to a text field:
- We create a generic movieclip which contains a dynamic text field called "tittle" (for example)
- We add 4 instances of this movieclip to frame 1 in our main time line.
- We give them a different name (testMC1, testMC2, testMC3 and testMC4)
- We also add this little AS into frame 1:
testMC1.tittle = "Hello";
testMC2.tittle = "How";
testMC3.tittle = "are";
testMC4.tittle = "you";
If we run the fla we'll have the 4 movieclips on screen "Hello How are you". So far, it's ok, no problem and everything's understood. However I'm trying to implement a variation for this method which I need to use, but I'm not succeeding. I'd like to assign the variable values from a plain text file instead.
Hence, I create a plain text file called "Exampletext.txt". Inside this file I put the following variable values:
&variable1=Hello
&variable2=How
&variable3=are
&variable4=you
I add this piece of AS lo load the variables from the text file:
this.loadVariables ("Exampletext.txt");
And finally, I modify this bit too:
testMC1.tittle = variable1;
testMC2.tittle = variable2;
testMC3.tittle = variable3;
testMC4.tittle = variable4;
And well, it does not work at all!

I'm using Flash CS4 Professional. I'm new to Flash, taking an on-line college class, and we 've gotten to ActionScript. The entire second page of 'web site' is a movieclip. The mc includes 2 input text boxes and a button. Clicking the button is supposed to take the movie to page 3, a frame on the main timeline. Finally got that to work with 'with (_root) gotoAndPlay ("frame label")'. Page 3 contains 2 dynamic text boxes and I've tried several versions of _root and _parent dot syntax paths and tried 'with (_root)' but I cannot get values from the input boxes in the movieclip to show up in the dynamic boxes on the main timeline.

so im defining a set of complex movieclips with onPress and onRelease etc using an array of them, and then looping through the array and giving them all the same code.the only problem is in the code for my buttons is one piece that needs to be unique for each button. when i assign all the buttons with N they get the code N instead of what N really is. i need to hardcode/write the actual value of N into their onPress function instead of just the variable N. is there any way to do this?

I am currently develoing a flash game and I am trying to spawn 2 different symbols from a class. I have a Class called 'PLayerClass', which contains a variable called 'hero' which I assign a symbol to. This works fine with 1 symbol but I have no idea or if it is possible to assign a different symbol to the variable 'hero'. The 2 symbols are 'soldierOrange' and 'soldierGrey'. For both of these symbols I have matching classes (ie. soldierOrange.as).soldierOrange.as

I have generated a service call to a service called ServiceName.getService() - I can successfully pull data displayed inside mxml layout elements, but, instead of displaying it, I just want to assign it to a global.
I always get an error on the second line below - apparently the value has not been fetched yet. I have also tried adding a listener, and setting the global value on COMPLETE, but that is apparently never called. (I am guessing this generated service call stuff does not actually trigger a COMPLETE?)
Short question is: how do you simply assign a variable after you have loaded it via a service data call. (Not just HTTP)
getServiceResult.token=ServiceName.getService();
GlobalVars.variablename = getServiceResult.lastResult.variablename;

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

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;

Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(imageArray[j][1],"gi"); trace(imageArray[jTemp][2].replace(re,"-"));
imageArray[jTemp][2] is a string imageArray[j][1] is a string as well I'm not getting the result I expect. I would like trace above to return 'permanentContainer-' Here are the traces for the above variables

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 getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).

This is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.
[Code]...
Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".
To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

I would like to dinamically create array variables, depending on a XML file. The problem I have is that I don't know how to create them dinamically using a name I have constructed into a string variable. What I would like is something like this:
var strVarName;
...
strVarName = "Var" + i;
var strVarName = new Array();
...
So I would have n arrays called Var1, Var2, ... Varn.

I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {
