Flash :: Call String Or Integer From Another Function?
Oct 16, 2011
I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.

Is it possible to call a function from a string? such as if I passed the name of a function to this function, is there a command to convert the string to a function call? :
function CallSpecific(passedFunctionName:String)
I used String, but it was just a guess...

I have a class that has a timer function built into it. When this timed function is called, I would like to be able to call another function when the timer is finished (which I would do in the TIMER_COMPLETE handler).
If I pass the name of the function to my class function, could I use that string(?) to call the function at the end of my timer?

I'm wondering if its possible in flash to be able to call a static class function via its name as a string. I know for you're usual case you can do this to call the function 'func'
Code:
this["func"]();
func():void
{
trace("I'm a function");
}
However I'm wanting to do this from another static function and in a static function you obviously can't use the 'this' keyword. I've tried just omitting it, or replacing it with the class name but neither work.

I'm using the Gaia Framework to develop a website, I'm still getting used to it but it's been great so far. There's a part in a page class where I want to call certain functions to initialize some effects on every deeplink. I'm doing good, but I need to call a function through concatenating some strings. Please have a look at some code of my class and read the comments for a better understanding:
Code:
private function FUNC_que():Void{
SEC_que.b1._width = 0
stringTyper(SEC_que.t1, st1, 15, 8)
var ts2 = new TextShuffle(SEC_que.t2, st2,SEC_que.b1);
[code]....

I've just seen a statement like this.
Code:
if (_root.map._width>"3000") {
_root.map.larger = 0;
}
Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?

I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.

I'm having some trouble converting a string to an integer. Here is my code:
var str:String = e.currentTarget.name as String; // Getting values like "song1", "song2"
str = str.replace("song", ""); // Changes it from "song1" or "song2" to "1" or "2"
var num:int = str as int; // SHOULD be converting the "1" to 1 and "2" to 2
trace("num:" + num + ", str:" + str);
The trace is always outputting:
num:0, str:1
num:0, str:2
etc..
The str value is there, but when it gets put into num then it zeros out.

I need to add values in a string (they're strings because I get a date as timestamp from a database and then pluck it apart in Flash with substring). Flash doesn't do math with strings. So is there a way to cast the string into an integer value?

I'm currently trying to convert a string that I get from a text box to an integer. Seems simple enough, but the string's got a pile of formatting on it.
This is the string (named answer):
Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Snap ITC" SIZE="20" COLOR="#FF0000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">80</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
As you can see, I want the 80 from that.
After a lot of tinkering around, I used the following to get the number out:
Code:
trace(parseInt(_root.answer.substring(120)));
Reason I used this is because I knew that the formatting would stay the same so I can slice off the same amount each time.
What I'm wondering is, is there a more elegant method of getting the entry that I want out of that mess of formatting? If not, then is there a way I can minimize the formatting?
Note: I'm using Adobe Flash CS4, with ActionScript 2.0.

I've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.

I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.

I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?

I'm working on a function that replaces an existing movie clip with a symbol from the library and then designates an "updater" function for the new instance. I have the first part working as intended, but I'm not sure how to approach creating the "updater" function.I've considered using event listeners, but I'm not sure if that is my best option.The following is a excerpt from my code. This code is on the timeline of a movie clip. The movie clip is on the main timeline with an instance name of slideUpPanel_mc.
ActionScript Code:
var window_mc:MovieClip = window_mc; //window_mc as it exists on the timeline
var windowUpdateFunc:Function; //reference to updater function in window_mc

when I try to type cast something, there r 2 ways to do it:if var integer holds a integer (Uint)
text_txt.text = integer as String;or text_txt.text = String( integer );
but sometimes when I want to pass a value to a function both ways don't work and only one way works, when should I use option 1 and 2???

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
