ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Variables To Target Mc?

Feb 8, 2011

I am building a gallery that creates movieclips dynamically within another dynamically created movieclip. I tried to target those movieclips using variables the following way:

_root.mc_holder[parent_mc][child_mc].onRelease=function(){
//whatever
}

but it won't work. I have trace(_root.mc[variable1][variable2]) and it returns the right path, so why is the onRelease not working?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Of Variables - Make A Bunch Of Variables From A For Loop

Feb 21, 2009

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.

Actionscript 3 :: Changes To Array Of String Variables Doesn't Update The Variables Themselves

Jul 30, 2010

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...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Variables, Variables Not Working Correctly?

Jul 11, 2011

There is a bird, and you control its upwards movement with a key. It has thrust, gravity, it works fine. The problem is I have a bunch of icicles that come at the bird that he is supposed to avoid. I tried this first with math random to use as an x coordinate and than move across the screen, but the icicles had the same x-coordinates sometimes. I tried does not equal(!=) but that doesn't work. I made an array and each number that came out of the array I assigned a different variable. This works fine. I put this variable into the x-coordinate such as mc.x=((n)*60)+480. I did this for five different icicles. All their differnt variables have a different value, and I put them into the same function for each individual video clip, but they still don't go to the right coordinate. Here is the test code just for the initial coordinate of each icicle before it moves...////////////////////////////Quote:

var temp:Array = new Array()
for (var i:int=0;i<8;i++) {
temp.push(i);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Array Values To Variables In Another Array

Dec 11, 2007

I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting E.target In A Bidimensional Array?

I have one main array of 10 elements, inside each element there's another array of 3 elements. So, I must click on any of those 3 elements and compare its index with another array.Problem comes when I try to get its index since it gets it wrong.. I've try with this:trace(_choicesArray[_counter].indexOf(e.target));I even created a temporarly array that gets that specific array elements, but I always get -1.

Flash8 :: Put Variables In An Array?

May 31, 2009

Is it possible to put variables in an array?

For example:

Code:
var positions:Array = new Array(Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2);

When the above code is executed, the values "Stage.width / 2" and "Stage.height / 2" are replaced with the number values and the array becomes, for example [500, 400].And when I call the array positions[0], instead of getting the value of the Stage.width / 2 (considering the stage has been resized), I get the static value of 500.What can I do to get the value of Stage.width / 2 ?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Add Array Variables Instead Of Concatenate

May 26, 2010

I have this code to push "Variable1" in to MyArray:
ActionScript Code:
_root.MyArray.push(Variable1);
Note:
"Variable1" is a number stored as a string.
When "Variable1" changes, the code above is called upon to add the new "Variable1" value in to MyArray. Then I have this code which is called upon to find the sum of all the values within "MyArray":

ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<=_root.MyArray.length-1; i++) {
_root.MyArray_Total = _root.MyArray_Total + MyArray[i];
}

My problem is that rather than adding the values contained within MyArray (as if they were numbers), the values are being concatenated instead.

Example:
If MyArray values were 1, 2, 3
I want the MyArray_Total to = 5
But instead... MyArray_Total = 123

I tried making a new variable named "Variable1_num", declaring it as a number, making it equal to "Variable1", and then pushing "Variable1_num" in to "MyArray"... but that didnt seem to work either.
