I have some filters set up, and have assigned some global vars to them, which I then use in my Filters code to display the filters: myText:Filters [globals.data.glow1, globals.data.stroke1, globals.data.shad1] Works perfectly. Now I want to assign a global var to each global filter var to determine if it should be shown or not. So...

I've set up a multi-lingual fla now where you select your language with a button on the first frame and that loads in the equivalent xml file. Now Later in my swf I'm trying to load in another swf with loadMovie but I'd like to assign conditional statements to determine what xml is loaded.for code thus far I have

var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

View 1 RepliesI have an AS3 function that runs when a URLRequest fails. I need to be able to use this function to assign global variables that I can then check against using other functions. How do I assign global variables inside of a function?
Edit:This is the variable (soundFile2Exist) I am trying to get outside of my function:

i defined the global variable in the first frame of my file, and i can access it on other frames, however i am trying to access it within a movieclip, and flash is telling me that it is undefined. does anyone know why this could be?

View 2 RepliesI have about 10 as3 coded buttons that use the same AS3 coded parameters to control the font and filters of their text fields. I'd like to create a global function to hold these parameters, and then just call the function within each button, and then also code each button to have it's own myText.text = "blahblah"; I can set up a global function no problem using an external as file, but am having trouble getting Flash to accept the parameters. For example, the following parameters work fine when used within the text fields of the buttons, but as so as I try to put them in an external global function, Flash doesn't like the parameters being external:

My global storage settings are set for 1) 'none' , 2)allow 3rd party..unchecked and 3) store common flash... unchecked. I can make changes but when i click another tab and come back to the storage settings tab every thing is still set for 'none' etc. This is true for all the tabs. no change I make is retained once another tab is activated or if I close the browser page. I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled. Searched and deleted every entry in the register that I thought may be relevant but no change. would like to be able to enable these options

View 1 RepliesFrom all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into, then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?

How do I access these values after loading from the external file, after the load?
I am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill.
View 2 RepliesI have made a small game in flashdevelop. I have written a filter in pixelbender to do different stuff on a football in the game.

It seems like the filter does not work eventhough I use flash player 10.
View 0 RepliesI've imported Excel values through XML file. I can already navigate to any XML value that I want (by trace()), but I want to operate with these values in my applcation. I can read the XML values, but how should I make them to be global, to have access to them and use them anywhere in the timeline, in different moviclips? Easy example of importing XML file and importing some xml value:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file.xml"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void {
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
var MyVariable = myXML.Data[0]; //for example Data[0] in XML file stores value "0,5"
}
And now, I want MyVariable to be accessed from anywhere in application. In xml file, value stored in Data[0] was '0,5', so now MyVariable is 0,5 and I want to have access to this number. For now it is available only inside this processXML function, how to take MyVariable outside?
When I add a filter (for example drop shadow) to my movieclip on the stage (using the Flash GUI), all its children automatically has applied the filter.
Is it this a correct behavior ? How can assign the filter only to the parent movieclip?
I realize that the issue of global variables has been discussed several times on this forum in the past. I have carefully read each one but I could not find any clear, definitive answers. Let me first give the basic idea of what I plan to do with Flash.
I will be simulating electrical, pneumatic, etc diagrams. I will, for an example, have a circuit breaker that can be clicked, thus changing its state from open to closed. Once this is changed, the flow from that circuit breaker will also be changed. This could all be accomplished inside of this file fairly easily, but this Flash file will be linked to hundreds of other flash files, each containing a unique drawing, but the variable for that circuit breaker, and all the other conditions need to be passed from drawing to drawing.
I have spent a lot of time researching online and browsing this forum, but I cannot find a solution to this problem.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get a value from a function which is a URLLoader COMPLETE event but even with declaring variables outside of the function will not allow me to get the value out. I'm stuck.It seems that the Asynchronous nature of Flash makes it impossible to get a value out: e.g. this works:
// Initialise a URLLoader to get XML data from XML file
var myFPBLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myFPBLoader.load(new URLRequest("flightPlannerBoard.xml"));

I have a simple banner which rotates through three different movieclips. I would like to create a function on the main timeline that controls the length of delay for each of the clips.
So far this is what I have on the main timeline, which is a single frame:
_global.displayTime = function () {
startTime = getTimer();
MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code]....
The function works when everything is on the main timeline, but not when I want it to drill down into a movieclip.
i have a button, and i need to to see the volume to zero when this button is pressed, and when this button is pressed again, the volume goes back to 100

I'm an old C programmer been away from programming for years. Now we have a project requiring Flash and I've been elected. Just installed CS4. I have 16 panels in 4 sets of 4 that rotate left to right. (Big learning curve on that one - fading transitions in the right order...). Each panel must have a unique url when clicked. (16 urls).I've looked through many solutions, most of which seem unduly complex. I think that the simplest short of going to onRelease() with AS2 (Later I have to add mouseover changes in the graphics) is something like this:[code]I haven't found this solution out there. Is there a gotcha because the a#Link vars are accessed as global within the scope of handleLink? It doesn't feel right, but it works fine and 16 global variables doesn't seem too bad.

View 1 RepliesIn as2, we had global variables which were accessible from anywhere within the movie. How can i achieve similar functionality in as3? You see, in my site, after a user logs in, there are several pages, and each of them calls a php script, and i need to pass the user id as a parameter to them! So as soon as the user logs in, I need to store his id in some place, which i can read from any class or subclass within the whole movie! Can you please tell me how to do this? oh and yea, i am new to as3, so please try to be as descriptive as possible!

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip on the stage, and in that clip I have a button that is supposed to turn a global variable from true to false, but the compile tells me:

When I use this code:
Code:
function closeMSN(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.visible = false
Stage.MSNOpen = false

I know how to reference the movieclip itself by this, but how do I change the value of a variable on the main stage, from inside the movie clip?
are all variables written as global variables in Flash CS3? Is there a way for some variables just to work for some frames?
