Actionscript 3 :: Flash Run A Function Only If Instance Within Function Is Defined
Mar 3, 2011I have a situation where, upon loading my swf, I add an event listener to the stage to listen for keyboard commands. One of them is to listen for the spacebar, and if it is pressed, it should play a movie. The problem is, that movie is not loaded until later on, depending other user interactions, therefore, until it is loaded, the reference to it would be undefined.
But if I wait and add the listener for key commands only when the movie is loaded, then I can't utilize the listener for other keyboard commands, like RIGHT or LEFT, which are the buttons which get you to the movie in the first place. Is there a way to add a conditional or something to prevent that code from being executed if the video is not defined yet? Here's my code:

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Function Defined In A Keyframe Re-loaded In Memory Each Time The Frame Is Visited?
Aug 12, 2010In Flash Actionscript 3, if a function is defined in Frame 1 of a flash animation and the animation loops, does it store another version of the function in memory upon each loop.
[Code]...
If so, is it a best practice to check to see if it's the first time the frame has been run, by setting a variable and checking it's existence, or is it a non-issue because the compiler checks to make sure that a function has not already been defined?

Arrays :: Flash - Data Being Lost Outside Of Loader Function
Nov 4, 2011Trying to make a grid based question answer game and load variables from a text file using for loops into an array. I wanted to reduce redundant code and use for loops to populate my arrays. The issue I am having is with my arrays being lost/destroyed outside of the loader function.
I understand that if an array is declared inside the function, naturally the array would be destroyed upon exit of the function. However I am declaring the arrays outside of the function so the arrays should remain intact after I exit the function.
BTW - I'm not having an issue with the loading of the data. The data is loading correctly. The array is simply being destroyed after the data has loaded.
//Create the arrays to hold the
//categories, questions, and answers
var categoryArray:Array = new Array();
var quesAnswArray:Array = new Array();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Variables Defined In A Function?
Aug 10, 2009I have been playing around with combining flash and PHP/Mysql for some time now, mainly sending one flash variable to a PHP file and then retrieving a result and turning it back into a different flash variable. My problem is i've got to the stage where I need to access these variables from other functions. Now I think I need to find some way of defining them outside of the function, maybe using global vars? Well i'm not gonna pretend I know anything about it. The two functions from which I access my PHP variables is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
function btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
[Code]....
So I need a way to access the phpVar1 variable in a totally seperate function
ActionScript 2.0 :: Calling Function From Root That Is Defined In MC?
Jan 1, 2006i've got this mc component i've created and reuse on some sites i've made. It's a real simple shoutbox that grabs info from a database using a php script.What i'd like to do is have this component refresh every 200 frames, which means, grab most current msgs and post them in the database.so for example, i have a movieclip called MC1. there's a function in MC1 that goes like: grabdata = function() {}; this basically calls the php scripts, loads the info, and so on.i wanna call this function from the root or even a parent MC.I have considered using prototypes or a class, but i dont think it's really necessary for something that seems basic enough.

May 27, 2009I am trying to load external swf's into my main swf through nested movieclips.Its like this: STAGE > contents_mc > loader_mc Also most of the code is from tutorial's out on the net.Content_mc I have the following MC's in content_mc (on 2 separate layers, if you want to know):
- Preloader_text (PText)
- loader_mc (LoaderExt)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Instance In A Dynamically Defined Function
Feb 20, 2012I'm trying to define this function so I can pass the CardButtons sprite to the Add Cards function. It "works" but there's one problem: the CardButtons sprite used in the function is determined by the value of i at the time of the function call (or in other words, the value of i when I click the sprite).
I want the sprite passed to be literally the value of CardButtons[i] at the point when the function was defined.
CardButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CardFunctions[i]= function(){ AddCards(CardButtons[i],PlayerHand[player-1][PlayerHand[player-1].len gth-1]);});
Is there a way I can do this, or is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
I guess for further example:
I want CardFunction[0] to store the AddCards function with the value of CardButtons[0] passed, it should NOT be dependent on the value of i.
JavaScript :: SWF Object - Play Song Function (Not Defined)
Sep 4, 2010I'm trying to have JavaScript call a function from my ActionScript.
ActionScript:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback( "playSong", playSong );
function playSong():void {
var _sound:Sound = new Sound();
var _request = new URLRequest("music.mp3");
_sound.load(_request);
_sound.play();
}
JavaScript:
swfobject.embedSWF('[URL]', 'musicplayercontrol1', '1', '1', '9', null, null, {
allowScriptAccess: 'always', wmode: 'transparent' }, { }, function( e ) {
document.getElementById('musicplayercontrol1').playSong();
});
I keep getting a function not defined from firebug. I tried having the song play as soon as the swf load, and that works for sure.

My question is how can I set up an interval when I click on a button that is created from within the class.
I need my function updater to keep repeating untill I clear the interval.The only way I can figure out is to give the full path like this._parent._parent.instanceName.updater inside the setInterval, but although this works I think is just dumb to hardcode the instace name of the class. I could of course try to pass the instance name as a parameter, but I would really love to find out the smart way to do this (by the book).
ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Variables Defined In A Function Available Globally?

Code:

after a bit of reading I find that it is because 'myRequest' and 'i' are defined within functions, and so those variables are not available outside those functions. How can I get around this? Make a class?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Pass Touch Event To Class Defined 'global' Function
May 12, 2011I have a class file defined in my package as MyGlobals.as.[code] (I have tried adding/removing "static" and "dynamic" to no effect.)I am trying to call a touch event from the main timeline in this way:myObject.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, MyGlobals.myFunctionName);(I have tried removing the class name to no effect.)When I compile I get the error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TouchEvent. This error occurs on function definitions in the class file.What syntax/concept am I getting wrong? The functions were working fine when I was using constants in the timeline, but I need to be able to reuse these functions over and over again, so I wanted them to be able to take touch event variables so that I didn't have to write a different function for every touch event.I tried googling "error 1046" but I can't find anything useful.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [AS2] Looping Function - Using HitTest(); With Movieclips Within Arrays
Apr 28, 2007[Code]...
NOTE: The following text is my problem and observations, if you afraid to read it all, my problem is easily guessable within the code go ahead and crack at it without my explanation :-p I'm having some trouble with using hitTest(); with movieclips within arrays. I wanted to build a function that checks the hitTest of Movieclips in arrays because the array is dynamic and it would run more efficient and faster this way.
As you may notice it doesn't check just the movieClip in the array, but a movieclip 2 scopes within it. I feel that this is my problem. I noticed in my debugger that that mc doesn't show up, but i put an onLoad event on it to trace its existence when loaded and it shows up fine. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Arrays :: Actionscript 3 - Creating A New Array For Eache Iteration Of The Function Call. AS3
Oct 5, 2011so I have writing a function that returns objects on the stage and puts them into an array. and the function works fine until i call the function on more than one object name, meaning if im in the root class, and I call this function on object1 lets say it will add all the object one's from the stage, but if i call it on object2 it will throw an error, which makes some sense, i guess it means that it is not adding it to a unique array, but im not sure how to do that. would it be a good idea to maybe make a multidimensional array? if that is the case would it be too slow?

Flash :: Access Top Level Function When Class Has A Function Of The Same Name
Dec 16, 2011I have a class Debug with a function called trace inside it which puts a TextField on the stage and outputs the text. Now I am trying to get the Debug.trace() function to do a "normal" debug trace as well from within side itself. of course this causes a recursive loop. I am trying to figure out how I can access the top level separately. I tried using namespaces such as AS3::trace but to no luck.
I know a solution is to rename my function to stop the conflict, but I would like that to be a last resort. It is being used in quite alot of places throughout my entire code so replacing it everywhere is going to be a ballache.
