i'm linked a MovieClip class object to my project, and i will programatically add it to the display list. is there a difference between defining the variable's data type and not doing so? neither produce a runtime error.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have a problem which i hope some one can help me with. I am loading in data from an XML file. This works fine, i can trace the contents of the XML file. The problem i have is this. I want to save each attribute to a class variable so i can call upon it with a getter method.The code is below:
Code:
package XML
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
[code]....
If i trace(path) inside the processXML() its displays as expected. but if i fire my getter method path() im returned a value of null.
I have generated a service call to a service called ServiceName.getService() - I can successfully pull data displayed inside mxml layout elements, but, instead of displaying it, I just want to assign it to a global.
I always get an error on the second line below - apparently the value has not been fetched yet. I have also tried adding a listener, and setting the global value on COMPLETE, but that is apparently never called. (I am guessing this generated service call stuff does not actually trigger a COMPLETE?)
Short question is: how do you simply assign a variable after you have loaded it via a service data call. (Not just HTTP)
getServiceResult.token=ServiceName.getService();
GlobalVars.variablename = getServiceResult.lastResult.variablename;
I'm making a platform game where all of my level components (ground, background etc.) are within an array called 'levelArray' so I can move all the elements the same amount at the same time. I'm just starting to implement my second level, and I need to change 'levelArray' to contain different level elements. I've tried to put an 'if' statement to change the definition of the variable:

I have the actionscript code here for a bubble popping game. When the game starts, bubbles fall down from the top of the game to the bottom and score is kept for the most bubbles clicked or popped in 30 seconds.The size of the bubble is defined by the initialize method in the code, and uses ToString() to calculate the score. ToString gives me a 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method Random through a reference with static type uint. This error which I cannot figure out where it comes from.[code]
View 4 RepliesI have a LoadVars object called loadText in which an external variable is loaded from a text file. Now, the whole thing works, I just want to create a template to optimize the system, so here is what I need: The external variable (in an external text file) is called page1. I am assigning that external variable to a local variable (at this point the external text has already been loaded in loadText, of course):

Let's say you have the following xml document. Now how do I access the name thumb here is my loop. Also I want to store the value in an array but I don't want the xml tags to be stored in there as well. How do I get rid of the xml tags with assigning the data to an array.

View 4 Repliesif defining variable types in function parameters gives any speed boost.

is there any performance difference between above functions. in theory compiler should be able to manage memory more efficiently when knowing what data to expect, but is it so in flash
I'm facing a problem with defining objects. What I need to accomplish is this:
[Code]....
What I need to accomplish is this:
Code:
var cnms = this.cNames.split("|");
myDP = new Array({cnms[0]:"Chris", cnms[1]:"Priceless"}, {cnms[0]:"Nigel", cnms[1]:"Cheap"});
Obviously, this doesn't work, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this right now. How do I define an object with variable properties ? I've tried eval(), but it doesn't work either.
I followed a dynamic gallery scrolling thumbs tutorial and then changed it quite a bit to fit my needs.
I basically added a previous and next button and image title box.
It all works great apart from one thing.
e.g. I click on thumb 5. I then use the next button and go to say... image15. I then click on thumb 9. When I use the prev or next button again it will resume from image15, but it should then carry on from thumb 9 as that was the last change I made.
I thought this would be as simple as assigning the thumb variable value to the image number variable. i.e myID = id; but it doesn't work. my variable myID actually loses its value when I click the thumb image (I used the trace to clarify).
Here is the code.
PHP Code:
function bttnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
bttn.gotoAndStop(1);
root.logo.visible = false;
myID = id;
[Code].....
I have a for loop - for (var i:int=0; i< results.length; i++)
and in this for loop a button is created - var multiplereportButton:Button = new Button();
I would like the integer value from i to be appended onto the name of the variable, so I thought this would work: var multiplereportButton + i:Button = new Button();
I've seen many times the following procedure to assign a variable name to a text field:
- We create a generic movieclip which contains a dynamic text field called "tittle" (for example)
- We add 4 instances of this movieclip to frame 1 in our main time line.
- We give them a different name (testMC1, testMC2, testMC3 and testMC4)
- We also add this little AS into frame 1:
testMC1.tittle = "Hello";
testMC2.tittle = "How";
testMC3.tittle = "are";
testMC4.tittle = "you";
If we run the fla we'll have the 4 movieclips on screen "Hello How are you". So far, it's ok, no problem and everything's understood. However I'm trying to implement a variation for this method which I need to use, but I'm not succeeding. I'd like to assign the variable values from a plain text file instead.
Hence, I create a plain text file called "Exampletext.txt". Inside this file I put the following variable values:
&variable1=Hello
&variable2=How
&variable3=are
&variable4=you
I add this piece of AS lo load the variables from the text file:
this.loadVariables ("Exampletext.txt");
And finally, I modify this bit too:
testMC1.tittle = variable1;
testMC2.tittle = variable2;
testMC3.tittle = variable3;
testMC4.tittle = variable4;
And well, it does not work at all!
I'm using Flash CS4 Professional. I'm new to Flash, taking an on-line college class, and we 've gotten to ActionScript. The entire second page of 'web site' is a movieclip. The mc includes 2 input text boxes and a button. Clicking the button is supposed to take the movie to page 3, a frame on the main timeline. Finally got that to work with 'with (_root) gotoAndPlay ("frame label")'. Page 3 contains 2 dynamic text boxes and I've tried several versions of _root and _parent dot syntax paths and tried 'with (_root)' but I cannot get values from the input boxes in the movieclip to show up in the dynamic boxes on the main timeline.
View 2 RepliesI have a XML document that I have to hard-code into AS (Yes, I HAVE to). I am trying to assign this xml to a string but for some reason on the xml doc declaration is assigned?[code]...
When I trace out the xmlDoc string I always only get "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
I have tried putting the whole document in one string surrounded by 's and concatinating the string like above. Why is the string var only getting assigned to the first line?[code]...
so im defining a set of complex movieclips with onPress and onRelease etc using an array of them, and then looping through the array and giving them all the same code.the only problem is in the code for my buttons is one piece that needs to be unique for each button. when i assign all the buttons with N they get the code N instead of what N really is. i need to hardcode/write the actual value of N into their onPress function instead of just the variable N. is there any way to do this?

I'm pretty sure there is a simple solution to this problem and I'm going to feel really dumb for not figuring it out myself but for some reason I am stuck so here goes. I have several movie clip "buttons". I would like, on release, to load a dynamic text file into a container clip on the stage. Pretty simple right? Here is the code I am using:

I have a move clip called 101.

assigned to 101. Inside of 101 I have dynamic text fields with the var names of price, fee, and state.I have a movieclip 102 that is exactly like 101. What I need to know is, how can differentiate 101 from 102 so that when the db data comes in that 101 and 102 display different info?Also, I can't change the var names. They must stay as price, fee, and state in both movieclips.

is the above method used for assigning the variables correct.
after assigning loaded XML data to an array of objects, i would like to remove the XML from memory, or at least available to the garbage collector. however, doing so also removes the assigned object values in the array. rather than calling XMLdata = null;, i'm calling System.disposeXML(XMLData); as directed by the documentation:
