I have a public variable and I am trying to set it, then read it from a different function:
public var str:String;
public function DailyVerse()
{
function create() {
[Code]....
My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
ActionScript Code:
var city:String = "Bath";
var xml:XML = new XML();
var urlloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlloader.load( new URLRequest("[URL]") );
urlloader.addEventListener("complete", xmlComplete);
function xmlComplete(e:Event):void{
[Code] .....
The main part is where I have created the variable: IconGif... it reads a portion of the xml file and turns it into a rference that will eventually relate to an instance name of a movieClip. I was going to use:
ActionScript Code:
this.attachMovie(IconGif,IconGif,100);
to place the item on the stage to whatever the xml says that day,
My problem occurs because the function I have used to create the variable, clashes with the attachMovie function and I receive the message:
TypeError: Error #1006: attachMovie is not a function.
at weather_fla::MainTimeline/xmlComplete()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunctio n()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader:nComplete()
Whatever that means but when I try to call the variable outside of the function, it doesn't know what I'm no about, because as far as it's concerned it doesn't exist, but only when the function is being called. I'm not the wisest with XML and calling up data...
I have a function that makes an array and I am trying to read the contents of the variable outside the function but it keeps giving me the result as undefined.
I know there must be a simple solution to what i am attempting to do.[code]...
how to get variable value from a function to a text box here is the code :
import fl.controls.ComboBox;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
TxtAnswer = Array();
[code]....
.. i want that variable "sk1" to next scene text box ..i putted the code like this :
q1.text = sk1;
but it is not working..
how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
View 2 RepliesI want to monitor a variable. Whenever the variable value changes I want to call a function. In actionscript 2 I can use "watch" but in as3 what can do ?
View 1 RepliesI have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access
ActionScript Code:
function stopShake(e:MouseEvent):Array
this array that function return.
I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) {
var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",

I want to create a vector, then call a function that populates that vector with arrays. Fine. The only catch is the function itself will declare new array variables to put into the vector, but are these new array variables private to the function only?e.g. something like this
ActionScript Code:
public var vec:Vector.<Array> = new Vector.<Array>();
private function populateVec():void {

Is this "kosher"? a was declared in the private function but added to something outside the function..?
I have taken variable in one function and want to use that value in another function.
View 2 Repliestake a look at the code is very simple and you will understand my problem
Code:

me how I can use the variable from one function in another function?
For example:
function init():void {
var test:Number = 1;
}

hi I have created an actionscript function which stops an animation on a specific frame which works fine. I have then loaded in a php file with a variable which will contain the number for the frame i want the animation to stop on. This has loaded in fine and i have loaded it in a function. what i cant seem to do is to get the variable into the function which tells the animation to stop playing.[code]

I have an external log file which name changes each session, with the format XXXXX.log I need to load it inside a swf to show its data, but each time the log's name is different, I need to open the .fla, changing the name of the file and then republishing the swf. So I have made a simple script to load another .txt, to type manually in it the 5 number of the logs name and load it externally inside the swf:

I have a function in my flash AS3 file. I'd like to pass a parameter when calling this function and have that parameter become the name of a new FLV playback component I'm declaring;

I'm trying to pass a variable through a function, but I'm getting it's value 0. Here's my code:
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToCategory);
function goToCategory(e:MouseEvent) {
trace(c);[code]....
this trace gives me value of 0. Normally I would do goToCategory(c) and inside that category I would get it's value, but in this case I'm calling this function with an event, how can that be done?
var c is declared globally, so I'm using it above this code in different place... is there smth like global $c like in PHP.. or there's some other way to do it?!
How can I get the name out of the passed variable to the function?
for example:
Code:
drawArea(auto); //auto is a MovieClip();
private function drawArea(m:MovieClip):void {
m.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 0.1);

Is there any way that you can have dynamic variables inside of a static function considering that you can't use "this" inside a dynamic function.

How can I combine the following functions and still pass a different string to the buildUI(); function?
I have two functions that do the same thing only at the end they both call a function and pass a String value to the function. This string value is the only thing different.
Below is are my eventlisteners and functions as they are now:
female_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startFemale);
male_start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMale);
//FUNCTIONS THAT DO THE SAME THING AND BOTH CALL buildUI BUT PASS A DIFFERENT STRING.

Basically I want Javascript to pass a variable to Flash according to resolution. I realize my syntax might be off, but something like:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if (screen.width <= 800) {
expand = "false";
[code]....
Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't know exactly what I need to put in the <param> and <embed> tags, and how Flash would detect if the variable was true or not.
I have a flash SWF that passes a variable as a parameter to a javascript function in my HTML page. Somehow I need to put that value of that parameter into a global variable I can use outside the html javascript function that actually receives it from the SWF function that passes it. Ultimately I will store that value in a hidden form field in the HTML so I can reuse it elsewhere.
Using an alert box, I can see my desired variable data is being passed by the AS2 function but I can't figure out a way to access it from outside the javascript function. Here's a screen print of the alert and what I see when I try to reference it outside the function. Here is a link to a screen pic that demonstrates that
This is a code snippet that starts with the javascript function that receives the variable. YES, I know the"mailLink = str" is not valid. It just demonstrates how off the mark I am.
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var mailLink = null;
function callJavascript(str) {

Can't seem to get the value of myXML outside the function, despite being declared outside. The data loads and traces correctly inside the function.
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("flightPlannerBoard.xml"));
var myXML:XML;
// Check XML data fully loaded
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void {
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
//trace(myXML);
} trace(myXML);
