I have a function fooA(valueA1, valueA2) which calls web method myWSA(). Upon reeiving the result, it invokes a result handler which inturn calls another web service myWSB(value2). I want to know how I can pass/access this value2 into foo2. These values: value1 and value2 are dependent on the button clicled.[code]...
View 1 RepliesMy project has a target object (center of stage) and a moveable object, which is created each time a user presses "Enter". Each movable object is identified as part of an array (i.e., object[i]), and a new line (i.e., line[i]) is dynamically drawn from the center of the newly created object to the center target object.
Basically, as the object is dragged around the screen the line is to stay connected to the target object. Therefore, that specific line for that object being moved must be redrawn using a drawLine function inside the event handler. My issue is how to get line[i] to be identified within the even handler? (Using AS3 coding)

I came to AS3 from JS world, and I should confess that anonymous functions are my weakness. I tend to use them everywhere. Now, coming to AS3 I've heard and read in lots of places, that AS and Flash are enormously bad at handling garbage collection, that one should empty, dispose and remove all event handlers and objects manually to avoid weird and unexplainable memory leaks and crashes. Not sure what part of this is true, but I would like to follow best practices right from the beginning. How bad is idea of using anonymous functions as event handlers? Consider for example a code like this:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function() : void {
controls.elapsed = stream.time;
});
Ccontorls.elapsed is the setter, which apart from setting current play time for video player, updates the whole UI, and stream is NetStream object, which streams the actual video. There are lot's of other places where anonymous function may make code cleaner and more intuitive. Check the following code for simple fade-in effect for the control bar:
public function showControls() : void {
var self:Controls = this;
if (!visible) {
visible = true;
fadeTimer = new Timer(30, 10);
[Code] .....
I totally like how it looks and fits into the code, but I'm concerned about leaks. While Event.ENTER_FRAME handler probably would never become harmful in this form, what about timer listeners. Should I remove those listeners manually, or they will be removed automatically, as soon as I set fadeTimer = null ? Is it possible to remove listeners with anonymous functions properly at all?

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )

I've created a very simple video player that I want to use with many different FLV files on my site. Rather than packaging SWF files with each FLV, I'd like to just design one SWF file and have the corresponding HTML file pass the URL of the FLV as a parameter to the SWF. I've read a lot about passing in parameters from HTML to SWF using AS3, and it seems pretty straightforward. Here's an example of the code I created using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderComplete);
function loaderComplete(evt:Event):void {
//traceText.text = "Loaded";
[Code]....
Note that I'm using the variable "userName" to pass the parameter. Eventually I'd use a variable like "movieURL" to convey the actual URL of the FLV file. In any case, when I run the code, I get ... nothing! Nothing but a blank text box. Both the HTML and SWF files are on my local machine.
If I uncomment the "//traceText.text = Loaded" line, the text box says "Loaded", which would indicate that the event listener is functioning properly.
I am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):
function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){
var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
dText.text=flashVars.userName; }
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
In my html code I am adding:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" />
FlashVars="userName=SamG" // added to the embed tag
Inside a .fla file I have some buttons and each button will tween a different image to the stage. All the images are outside the stage in the same x and y position and I just need to tween the x coordinate.
Now I'm working with an external document class where I'm trying to hold all my functions and I'm stucked with the Tweens. I'm willing to stay away from the flash tween engine and I'm trying to work with tweenLite.
Is it possible to pass parameters through eventListeners so I can use something like this inside my docClass?
public function animeThis (e:MouseEvent, mc:MovieClip, ep:int):void { //ep stands for endPoint.
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {x:ep});
}
If this is possible, how am I supposed to write the listeners so it will pass the event to be listened for AND those parameters? And how to build the function so it will receive those parameters and the event?

View 2 RepliesI have installed DfGallery2 in my server and I would like to load it into my other swf. There's html version generated by the gallery : Quote:

What I want is to load Gallery.swf into Main.swf and see all the images. So how do I pass FlashVars from Main.swf to Gallery.swf?
How can I pass parameters by reference? So it doesn't make a copy out of it, but modifies whatever I pass in? This:
function ChangeString(string:String)
{
string = "inside string";[code].....
outputs "outside string", since functions seem to take objects by value. get multiple variables out of functions? Returning a custom class?
