Adding Variables Together Imported From Xml?
Oct 29, 2009
I have imported some info from an xml file into my movie. The info from this file is then displayed in dynamic text boxes. Three of these text boxes show a price which displays fine. However i need the contents of these text boxes to be added together in another dynamic text box called total. I need this total to update as the price fields change. I just cant figure it out.
Here is my code which is placed at frame 1 of my movie:
The last line of code is along the lines of how i think it should work
stop();
bar._visible = false;
bar2._visible = false;
bar3._visible = false;
[Code]....

I've used a Loader object to add a SWF to my stage. I'd like to attach a listener to the SWF for timer events. I'm wondering what the best way to do this would be. I've been working with this idea but with no luck so far. I thought I could add the listener to the loader content the same way as I would call MovieClip methods.

I'm creating an image scroller in AS2 that pulls images into Flash from an external folder, as determined by an XML file. The program use a MovieClipLoader to load the external images into series of empty, and temporarily invisible, movie clips that are created inside a for loop. Once the attached listener determines that the clips are all loaded, their visibility is turned on and they begin scrolling. Everything had been going fine, until I tried to add functionality to each of the four images that had been loaded. All I want to do is generate a trace statement that says "success" when I mouse over each of the four external images in the scroller. I can use that as a springboard to continue working...
Here is the problem: "Success" IS traced out upon rollover, but only once - when you roll over the last image that was pulled in from the RSS feed and into the for loop. It does not apply to any of the other images. It seems like the functionality on the other images is created but them somehow instantly destroyed or overwritten as the for loop continues to run and the MovieClipListener updates itself. But I am not sure. If this were simply a series of movie clips or images being pulled in from the Flash library, I wouldn't have this problem. However, the external images and the MovieClipLoader are confusing things.
//Start For Loop Pulling from XML File {
//create movie clip that will hold next image pulled in from XML file var cImageHolder:MovieClip = scrollerBase.createEmptyMovieClip
("imageHolder" + i + whichRow, scrollerBase.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I understand how to import a swf and add it to the stage. Is it possible (using code) to add the one imported swf to the stage multiple times, each with different instance names? So the same as adding a library item to the stage multiple times, each time with a different instance name, with code, but using an imported swf?

This has been a long time question, why, when you bring illustrator artwork into flash does it add so many unnecessary control points to the object? something as simple as a circle with 4 happy control points in illustrator suddenly becomes a 20 control point circle when brought into flash. It has been this way forever and I know that there is no setting to change this?

I've made a simple picture slideshow. With 10 frames and on each frame a movieclip. On every frame, I use the 'loadMovie' method to import a file..A set of buttons are used to surf through the frames..Okay, I wanted to know, is there any other possible way to add a fade-in fade-out transition while changing the pic from frame 1 to frame 2.. ?The way i know of doing it will be like this;Making a movieclip, MC1, and in there, another movieclip, imagehandler MC, where that image is brought using 'loadMovie' method. And fading in imagehandler MC from frame 0 to frame 10 using motion tweening like we normally do..And putting that MC1 (with MC2 fade in effect inside)to each of the 10 frames in the main slideshow timeline (making different MC1 like MCs for each image)..But this way its much more work and more cramping in the library..

I have been looking for posts regarding using global variables in and from external movies, I am having problems, but am sure it is easy enough to do.
In the main movie I define a global variable _global.shorts = false.
I have a button with the following on...
on (release) {
_global.shorts = true;
popup_mc.loadMovie(shorts.swf, "POST"); //I've also tried GET!
}
This opens a popup window into an empty movie clip on my page, and turns off a variety of properties.
In my setup script on the first frame I have:
if(_global.shorts == false){
carryOnAsNormal;
}
if(_global.shorts == true){
disableA;
[Code]....
and does not write "false" back to the global that was defined on the setup script, rather it creates it's own "local" global variable called _global.shorts which is no good to man nor beast!
I have tried using _root._global.shirt, _root.shirt, adding the variables to the loadMovle call, but nothing seems to let me trace the global with the correct value in the shirt popup.
Is there something I need to do to pass the variable to the shirt.swf when I load it?

I'm trying to make methods available like so:
ActionScript Code:
MyClass.myFunc();
Instead of
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
myVar.myFunc();
I know that to do so I need to declare the functions/variables/constants as static:
ActionScript Code:
package MyPackage {
public class MyClass extends Object {
public static function myFunc():void {
} public function MyClass() {
[Code] .....
When I try to access the static function through the full reference (i.e trace(MyPackage.MyClass.myFunc);), it works, while trace(MyClass.myFunc); returns undefined. This contradicts what I've read in tutorials and posts on the Internet. They all use the short syntax, not the full path.

I'm a student web designer from Toronto, ON working on a flash interface for an art show.In our flash file (AS 2.0), I need a piece of code to constantly check a set of variables. If the variable reaches 2, I want it to unload the current movie, therefore I also have a set of buttons which each increase the current variable by +1 every time they are clicked. Therefore once 2 buttons were clicked, the movie would be unloaded.[code]

(Using AS3) I'm doing a simple grid layout of boxes (movieClips), i'm then trying to save their current position to each of the movieClips. So in AS2 i'd do something like ...
obj.origX = obj._x;
obj.origY = obj._y;
but it's saying; 1119: Access of possibly undefined property targetX through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject. How can i add custom variables to movieClips?

Is there an easy way to add a variable into A HREF tag within as3?Example:var myVariable = "hello";<a href = 'event:myVariable' </a>Of course, that doesn't work, but how would I go about making it work? This is for a dynamic project, so I need to call upon variables within the A HREF in order for this to work.

I meant to call it "Convert a value to a variable". Using CS3, AS2: If I have a variable that's a string value = the name of another variable, can I extract the value and then look for the extracted value's matching variable name to get it's value?
Ex:
color = "blue"
box = "color"
(Assuming I don't know the value of box) How would I get the value of "box" out so I could search for the value "color" as if it were a variable? I need to convert a value to a variable name is what i'm getting at... I think.

I've created and XML object that's working fine and I want the user to be able to add to the XML dynamically, using an input text field and appendChild() So, what is the syntax to use so that I can put in the text they enter as an attribute of a node of my current XML object? Here's what I've got for adding to the XML (stripped down obviously):
ActionScript Code:
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var clientToAdd:String = userInput.text;
xmlData.appendChild(<project name=clientToAdd></project>);
How can I take the variable clientToAdd and make it the attribute "name" of the "project" node?

I've designed an as3 flash banner with 3 input fields. The user fills in these fields and clicks a button. The text from these fields are then stored as variables, which needs to be included in the target url - like this:
websitestuff...?a=1&b=2&c=3
This is no problem. However, here's the issue: The banner needs to use clickTAG as it will be uploaded to Google Adwords. I can make the clickTAG part work, but have been unsuccessful in also adding the 3 variables after the url.

Having some issues with some variables not adding together to make a new number. Instead they are appending to each other as if adding characters onto a string rather than a number. Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
var dispenserPos:Object = {x1:"41", y1:"180", x2:"283", y2:"180", x3:"530", y3:"180", x4:"775", y4:"180"};
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
[Code] .....
It should be tracing out 388 instead of the numbers appended onto one another.

I've been building a web based order form and my client want the ability to add items (as many as you want) and for them to be totalled up. I've used Kirupas Scrollpane with Dynamic Mc's tutorial to add my products, but I can't seem to add them up! Each product adds up it's subtotal in the dynamically attached Mc and outputs the variable 'subtotal' In my root I have this function to call the subtotals, but I can't seem to get it to add up each of them to output a total...

I'm struggling with a project. I'll try and describe it. 10 mc are loaded randomly with one of two ext.swf's. Each time you click/drag on one, 1 of 6 questions are randomly loaded from an array into a text box on the main timeline. I need to count and add up how many of each of the 2 ext.swf's have loaded and whether they have an x pos < or > 300. My first problem is: The question shows up in the text box when the mc is clicked/dragged but when I trace it, the question that shows in the output doesn't match the one that's loaded into the text box?The second problem is a big one. I need to be steered in the right direction as to keep track of what is where on stage. I only have a vague sense of how to go about it, and combining all the bits is too much.
1. I need to trace the question2. I need to say if the question is 'blah' do this3. The 'do this' is pretty complicated. I need to add up the #1 movies that have an x pos of <300 and the #1 movies that have an x pos of >300 and then do the same for the #0 movies. Then I need to compare a users input answer to the correct one!!! The question AS is in the external swf. [AS]stop();
// Questions Array
question = new Array(); {
question[0] = "How many hedgehogs are in the bed?";

A combobox (created with the returned data) is created on frame 61. When a selection is chosen in the combobox I need to add the value returned from the combobox to the variable catvar, add this variable to the LoadVars object and run the script again. It seems to set c.catvar initially but when I use the 'sendAndLoad command the second time c.catvar isn't included. Is it possible to add variables to a LoadVars object created

I'm building a Flash banner (as3) for AdWords, but I can't find in their documentation whether it is possible to add hash or querystring variables to appear in the eventual target url when u are using a clickTAG. Ideally I would like to use both. For example, my banner has four input fields and I would like to build my target url thusly:
var base:String= "http://www.example.com";
var qs:String= "?one=" + input1.text + "&two=" + input2.text;
var hs:String= "#three=" + input3.text + "&four=" + input4.text;
var targetUrl:String= base + qs + hs;
flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(targetUrl), "_blank");
Is this possible with AdWords while using clickTAG?

I have a form that will require the user to type in some figures (into the input text fields) which will need to be totaled up at the end.
Would it be recommended to execute this function by sending it to php and then back to flash or is there a better way to do it within flash?
Again all I want to do is get the sum of all input text variables (all having number values).

So I'm loading a variable into my .swf from PHP (using loadVars) and adding two loaded variables together. However, when they are added they "add on" to eachother.
Example:
varOne = 1
varTwo = 3
varOne + VarTwo = 13 (????)
I was thinking the variable may think it's a string, but I don't know how to declare the variables sent in from PHP.

I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.

I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.

How can I make a bunch of variables from a for loop. for example for (var i=0; i<total; i++) {var bunch(i);}. that i make a bunch of variables named bunch1, bunch2, bunch3. I keep getting errors. I program and use so many different languages that I dont know if that can be done with AS3. my only other alternative i can think of is to create some sort of event dispatcher object array. but I dont know how to get them all to send events to one listener with there index number.

I have a list of strings that I add to an array, then attempt to set those values in a for-loop using data that I read in. The array gets updated, but the values the array contains do not. I also have an array of buttons that I update this same way that works great, but strings don't seem to work the same way. I have tried moving the string array to give it full scope, and still nothing...
