I am trying to add a Paypal Buy-It-Now button to my Flash site.The basics are simple enough:
this.cmd = "_s-xclick";this.hosted_button_id = "1234567";
this.getURL( "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr", "_blank", "POST" );
...however, one of the button parameters to post is called 'return'.

create and send a variable called "return." But that conflicts with a word used in actionscript.[code]is there anyway to work around this naming conflict?
View 1 RepliesI have a function inside of a class which is called by an event Listener I need access to a variable inside the function after the eventListener has been called. The variable name i need is stream and the function it lives in is called NetStreamxx. I tried to return stream but i don't know how to access the returned value here is the code
PHP Code:
package NetConnections.NetStreams{
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;

I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

[AS]
myMovieClip_mc.onPress = foo(true);
function foo(state:Boolean) {
Do something
}
The above does not work. Infact the function is not even called.How can I pass parameters to such functions.I dont wanna do the following:
[AS]
myMovieClip_mc.onPress = function(true) {
//
}
I'm trying to figure out how to set a MovieClip return value by passing a string argument and using that string to define the child of a given movieclip. I'm doing something wrong because I keep getting null traced instead of home_mc.[code]

View 4 RepliesA while ago Orange Gold fixed me up with some code to navigate buttons by using a key pad I altered the code so I could get it to load an xml picture with each change of button. It works where when the down key is pressed the 'down' state of the next button is activated and the next xml image (in this case 'firstImage') is activated. *However the problem is that whenever the mouse is clicked outside of the button the image reloads. This would probably be an easy fix, however it is only leading me to frustration.

_root.onEnterFrame function() {
jms_btn.onPress = function() {

I have an MC object called with linkage to be treated as a class in the library,part of the code is what follows (what is relevant to this problem):[code]If I drag and drop the object from the library onto the stage to instantiate it and call the function from within the object, then there is no problem, and the code is executed with no problem. In the main movie clip, I want to create an instance of this class with code, add it to stage and call this function with the following code:[code]
Through the use of flags I have confirmed that we in fact enter the function setTable, and that this error is produced once I try to reference the cardArray.I do not declare the array outside that function because I need other functions in that MC to be able to see it. Relocating the declaration does not solve the problem, because then the interpreter advances to the lines where I reference other functions declared in the MC (which I want in there), and the same problem arise: it has not yet seen the declaration of functions like the custom shuffle function for arrays

I have a problem with returning variable between classes. As far as I know there are some ways to do it but in this particular case I tried to use Getter.
So I have an XML file (content.xml), a class to read XML (LoadXMLExt.as), a class to display images, and the main class which first call the LoadXMLExt to get the information from and then call the displayimage class including passing the information from LoadXMLExt.

I am trying to make a hangman game and have made an array with words and picked one at random each time the movie is run and then taken that word and broken it apart into each letter. I then made a loop to create a new TextField for each letter. Then I set them all to "visible = false"I want to get to the point where if the user selects a letter that is in the word that that TextField with said letter will become visible. Only I cannot figure how to get a function outside of the loop to see the variables (i.e. instance names of the TextFields) inside the loop.Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var words:Array = new Array("HELLO","WORLD","JOE MAMA","ALIENS","ATTILA");
var letterArray:Array = new Array();

I have a flash file that has an XML driven menuing system to select and play various FLVs. I want to be able to craft different URLs to open the swf and start playing different FLVs. (The others will be accessible from the menu once the sfw is opened, but I am looking to control what plays on opening, dependent on what link a user click.) Not really sure about the best way to get the selection into the swf.

var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

So when a user uploads their image, the file name of the file is passed to flash so that the image displays within the Flash UILoader application. Here's the PHP variable I'm trying to pass: $filename= ''; And here's where Flash's UILoader gets it's source (ActionScript 3.0): uiLoader.source = "freshly uploaded file.jpg ($filename)?";
