Use String Values To Access Movieclips?
Dec 24, 2010I'm just wondering if it is possible to use a string values as a way to use the addEventlistener function.[code]...

I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I'm trying to get the values contained in the following XML
<user>
<id type="integer">122</id>
<name>newuser</name>
<email>newuser@user.com</email>
<created_at type="datetime">2011-08-31T19:16:52Z</created_at>

But in the debugger I can see that the vars XMLNAME< XMLEMAIL & XMLPoints are all being created but they are empty strings. How can I navigate to their values?
Something so simple, yet i want to slit my wrists.
i pass a variable into my querystring: "eof=true"
so in my html it looks like "filename.swf&eof=true" in the few places this is required.[code]...
How can I add a string values to an array
for Example
var abc:String = "my name is salim"
I just want to add four words my,name,is,salim into an Array.
In the project I'm working on, there are towers the user can place. However, it you place a tower higher then another one, it appears infront of that one, which looks weird.I want to be able to arrange all the towers so that that does not happen.There is an sprite called towerHolder holding, which all the towers are children of, and an array called towerArray, which the towers get pushed to when they are created.I tried clearing towerHolder, then running the sortOn() function on the array, and then adding each tower back to the towerHolder, but the towers just seem to be randomly placing themselves irrelevent to their height.Here's my code for the relevant parts:
Actionscript Code:
function clearTowers():void { while (towerHolder.numChildren > 0) { towerHolder.removeChildAt(0); }}function orderTowers():void { clearTowers();

I have 6 movie clip objects and I want to assign them all a value for when the user clicks on them. This value is to be hidden from the user but I will later use it with an additional software to capture the value. I assume this will be done by using a dynamic text field for when the movie clip is pressed.
View 6 RepliesI 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.
When you want to split a string in to an array, seperated by the letter "e" for example. So string: 0e5e8e7 would become 0,5,8,7..[code]Is there a way you could split a string by multiple values? So instead of it splitting the string when it comes across "e", could you have it split when it comes across "e", or another character.

View 4 Repliesif I read a string from an external file, for example "51,42,7"
how would I break apart the string into a bunch of values?
is it possible to add the values from a string to an array?For example my string looks like this:
var bookmarks:String = "book1, book2, book3";
And I need to add these values to the end of an array?
i am trying to tell flash to put some text on a dynamic textfield on stage based on some variables written on the URL in the browsers address bar, sort of like how PHP uses $_GET.so for example, i have a file called "embed_page.php" and embedded in it is a swf file called "dynamic.swf"UrL>..trace("name is: " + n + " and color of choice is: " + c + " and gender is: " + g);if only i could get access to the URL in the address bar, i could play around with indexOf and slice to get the values i want...
View 1 Repliespoint in the right direction if there's been a post previously on this, I did a search but didn't find anything. So my problem is that I'm creating objects dynamically and adding them to a movieclip container. I.e. click button -> generate new instance of Item class -> container.addChild(item).

What on earth am I missing?! I've googled and found working examples of that, but it just does not do the trick for me. I'm compiling the project as an Adobe AIR file, but as far as I'm concerned, it should not intervene with the x and y values of the movie clips. I also tried getting the values by methods in the Item class, but with no luck.
I have an MC on stage containing user interface elements.Within that MC, I have another MC with an onRelease event that calls to a function.The function it's calling sets/toggles a variable.
The problem is this: It's setting the variable in a scope that's available for the function and the MC within the user interface container, but I also need to make it available to _level0 (to be written to a file via an existing CGI script we have). I've tried setting this from within the function, having a loop that copies all the values from that scope to _level0, but I haven't gotten it to work.
The existing software I'm creating this for is convoluted, and we're stuck with it, so the goal is really just getting those variables into _level0, and not something that might be cleaner or make more sense.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this problem. I have 2 unsorted arrays that need to be compared, array2 must contain all elements of array1 and array2 can any number of extra elements without affecting the result. I don't see any benefits from sorting the arrays and comparing the string values as array2 can have extra information causing noise.

I have a project made in flex, using php data services to access a sql server database, and I need to convert it to mysql, I have changed all my php services from sqlsrv to mysqli. Something like this:
$this->connection = mysqli_connect(SERVER,USERNAME,PASSWORD,DATABASE); // Start Connection
$ssqlstring = "select * from Users";
$runssql = mysqli_query($this->connection, $ssqlstring);
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($runssql)) {
$users[$user["ID"]] = $user;
} return $users;
It worked fine on sqlsrv but with mysqli it returns to flex the INT, BIT or DATE values as string the main Datatypes on mysql are INT,VARCHAR,BIT(1),DATETIME,DATE (same as sqlsrv)
and on the flex the return types are mainly as object[]
I'm creating a Inches scale based game.. So I want to change the numeric values like
1.9 + 0.1 = 2 ( Not I need );

for example Ist possible like below class..

Kirupa's tutprial "Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3" when filtering the node values, how can I match a text string say "Stephen" with "Stephen E. Ambrose"
var authorList:XMLList = bookInput.Book.(author == "Stephen E. Ambrose");
Using the above code it only searches the node which author value is "Stephen E. Ambrose" but I want to search only "Stephen" and want to get this node returned.
my objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?
I have piece of ActionScript code which is supposed to evaluate a string of HTML and break it up into individual pieces. So a string like <p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a> would be translated into:
1. <p>Hi</p>
2. <span>Hi</span>
3. <a href="index.php">Hi</a>
...
However, when I run a test version of this code, I get a value of null in return. I'm pretty sure my regexp string is good, but I'm doing something wrong in ActionScript. My code is below:
var evaluatedInput:RegExp = new RegExp('/<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.*?)</1>/');
var output:Object = evaluatedInput.exec("<p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a>");
trace(output);
for instance distance values,and temperatures For instance say I have a string containing some unknown inches value And the inches sign can either be the proper double prime OR double quotes. So, I'm guessing as a first step I would search for double prime or double quotes preceded by a number value, then parse out and convert this number value. But this doesn't seem foolproof for instances when it is actually a doublequote, NOT an inches sign
View 1 RepliessomeThin.text = String(value1) I'm using the above code to pass an integer to a dynamic textBox.The problem is I'd like to post a second variable (value2) in the same textBox as well as a '/' between them. I could use multiple textboxes but that just seems sooooo inefficient.
I've tried the following permutations and none have worked.
someThin.text = String(value1 ' ' value2) ;
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' (value2);
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' String(value2);
I am creating a card game application in that dynamic movieclips created on stage and inside those movieclips different cards can drop, which have some values.
If one movieclip contains one card and another movieclip contained two cards and all the other movieclips 3rd,4th,5th.. etc contains some cards then, if i want to go back and want to drop another card at the top of the old one, than how i can do this, because when i go back and drop a new card inside movieclip than it replaces the old one. i don't want to create a new array for each movieclip.
I might as well be a damned newbie that's fer sure. I'm trying to fill one simple value object class using this code.

First, is this even possible? Inside a function, I want to change the min and max values that the slider component will use. Say for instance, the slider by default has the min set to 100 and the max to 200. Using the slider to scale a graphic, I want to increase the min/mal values.
Can this be done? I've been searching the web for things like ".min.value" and the sort, but can't seem to find anything.
I have created a dynamic TextArea and want retrieve the value and display in the trace.To run the code below you must drag the TextArea component into the stage.

I'm attaching an array of objects to the stage, each with a x and y values from an external xml. I have 2 values for the y property.
So when I attach the objects to the stage y property takes the first y values. When I want to change the y value to the send y value I am only accessing the last value in the list.[code]...
I have a flex app where I need to be able to access and modify component attributes using variable names.
eg, say I want to edit the text attributes of text label.
I am not sure what object or attribute will need to be updated until runtime.
Say I get passed the following variables:
var objId:String = "label1";
var objAtt:String = "text";
var objVal:String = "Hello World";
I need to take these and update the "text" property of label that has the ID "label1" to "Hello World".
I have tried different variations to accomplish this but am stuck One example is
this[objId][objAtt] = objVal;
