Flash - Externalinterface.call Won't Call The JavaScript Function - Firefox 3.6
Feb 10, 2011I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable To Function By Ref?
Feb 23, 2011If I remember correctly, objects are being passed to functions by reference, so I wrapped my primitive variable into object but did not get the resilt I wanted. I combed this group to see the solution and found only this one:
function changeObjectStatus(obj)
{
return obj.status = true;
}
[Code]....
var v seems to be a new object rather then a reference to the old one. and changing v does not affect the original object.
Does this mean that if I want the function to work with several variables, I need to create a separate object for each variable?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Instance Name To Function As A Variable?
Apr 24, 2006k the idea is that this movie keeps tracks of whatever page it's on using the variable current. when the button evolution is clicked it should jump to frame 2 of the movie whose instance name is contained in the variable current and also pass this variable to a function called alpha which fade that movie's instance when moving to another page - then that page's name will be assigned to current.
this is the code that i have now..
#include "alpha.as"
evolution.onRelease = function() {
this[current].gotoAndPlay(2);
this[current].alpha(5, 0);
};
all these buttons and movie instances are contained in the same movie clip and the variable current is declared in it too.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing A Variable To Global Function In Another Mc?

I'll explain:I have a series of buttons which, when each one is clicked, need to grab their instance name (this._name), strip the first three characters from it and send it to a global function in another mc within the swf.Instead of stripping the characters, I am happy to do:
if (this._name == dot1) {
dotVar = 1;
} else {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Variable Types For Passing In A Function?
Mar 17, 2009I'm trying to write a robust "eventMaker" function that I can run with arguments that will then create an event listener based on the arguments.
However, I can't seem to get it to pass the arguments. Functions are impossible to pass; it can't convert string versions back to functions, and passing the function as type :function just yields "function() function{}".
The same is true with strings and class definitions - if I want it to refer to an object in my other .AS file called "helloWorld", I can't make it think of helloWorld as anything other than a string or an object, and when I write commands based on it I get errors.
So how do I contain classes, functions, et al in variables that I can then reference again, in code, as those functions/classes? How can I convert a string value to something that the code will know is a reference?
