if i have function :
function a( param:* , ... args ):void ;
a.length // 1
flash.utils.sdescribeType(a);
//return me informations only about first parameter , nothing about '... args'.
edit: avmplus.describeTypeJSON didnt too. So , is there any other way to check for unlimited arguments than try{} block and push lot of params ?

I have an object that has all the elements I would want to pass arguments: var args:Object = { 'dog', 11, myArray }; and I want to be able to pass the contents of args to doSomething without making any changes to doSomething (assume it's someone else's function) and I'd like to do it in a way that doesn't assume I will know anything about the contents of args.
I'm an AS3 noob who is trying trying to get more comfortable with passing arguments into functions.why when the following code is all in one AS3 file as seen below it works and draws the purple square...
package{
import flash.display.*;
public class Main extends Sprite{[code]............
Flash CS5 gives me an error message 1137 saying that it was expecting only 1 argument in the code line --> Fill(square_commands, square_coord);I need to pass the arguments square_commands and square_coord into the function in the second AS3 file?
I have this code but I cannot work out how to fill in function parameters based on an array and it's length, see line 7
[AS]
import com.robertpenner.easing.Cubic;
MovieClip.prototype.framesTimeout = function(func:Function, frames:Number, args:Array) {
[code]....
Is it possible to call a function and fill in the parameters based on an array and it's length?
i have a question i have a primary and secondary function which i want it to be dynamic so i can get the user to enter in six to seven different or as many as required argument parameters for my primary function

...args is for string. something possible for Objects ?
View 1 RepliesAs a personal project, I'm working on a language-learning flash game.I'm looking at the information I'll need to store in various XML documents.I'm implementing a 'history' feature whereby, for any given word in the database, for any given user, a comprehensive history of data is stored. With this data, I can generate all sorts of fancy graphs to track any given user's progress.For example:You have been asked the word 'cat' 10 times. From data stored in the XML document, the game generates a graph of the time it took to answer each of those 10 times. (So in a perfect world, you see a nice downward curve. Congrats.)My question is how to organise the XML document (if that's the way to go with this) so that it is as efficient as possible.Right now, I can only see the brute force approach: have a limited number of predefined history states (say 99), and write data to these each time 'cat' comes up. Once they're full, overwrite.
Code:
<user#>
<word#321>

I'm trying to do the following to a flash banner, I'd like to know if it's possible and how I would code it/do it.
1. Unlimited amount of slide support. The banner must look for 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg... etc. Let's say the current slidshow has 4 photos, they want to be able to just upload another image and create a new .as file to make it appear in the flash slideshow.
2. each link must be in its own independent script. For example 01link.as, 02link.as, 03link.as etc.
so much entries here about full screen flash, but i coultnt find what i wanna know. i read the tutorial about the full screen flash, but it wont work the way i wish it would. what i wann have is a swf embeded in an html. the swf size is 950 px x 550 px and is in the absolute middle from all sides of the browser. if you scale your browser, it should scale itself smaller, but not bigger than the beginning resolution. within the swf file there is a game, that opens in a seperate window in front of the main swf. that window should be dragged whereever you want in the browser.
but i just figuered out what i have to do, to give the window some freedom. but when i want to drag it above the main swf i cant do that. i figured out that when i drag it to the left, there is the same problem, but the further right i press the mouse on the window, the further i can drag the window to the left. same is on top - on the right and the bottom site there is no problem.and the html code is:
ActionScript Code:

I'm designing a game that uses this function;
function moveBars(Bl:Number,Gr:Number,Or:Number,Ye:Number)
{
blueBar_mc.scaleX += Bl;
greenBar_mc.scaleX += Gr;
orangeBar_mc.scaleX += Or;
yellowBar_mc.scaleX += Ye;
}
When moveBars is called, the length of the 4 colored bars change to indicate how the player is doing in different areas of the game, like so; moveBars(.1,-.2,.3,-.1)
My problem; I need to store the moveBars parameter arguments in XML like so;
<myArgs> .1,-.2,.3,-.1 </myArgs>
But I can't find the way to get those 4 numbers into the moveBars parameters from the XML doc. Is there a way to do this?
I have a component that I hand over a function
public var func : Function;
Now the function is a function that has parameters in its signature
public function myFunction(s : String) : void {
doSomething(s);
}
from my component I can call the function with
func.call();
how to invoke the function with its parameters?
I have a movie clip that contains several movie clips, only one of which should be shown at a time. Which one is shown, depends on what buttons the user selects.Having trouble with the syntax for passing the argument in a button to the function that controls the tweening of the clips. (When I hard code the references into the function, it works, so I know the basic function is ok).There's a clip called 'slide1_mc' which contains various MC's to be shown based on user selection (in this case, using 'system' clip as the first one already showing). Here's the code in the parent clip of that item:
Code:
var currSection = slide1_mc.system_mc;
function changeSection(newSection):Void {
TweenLite.to(currSection,.3,{_yscale:200, _xscale:200, _alpha:0});
[code]....
Here's one of serveral buttons that will control the content to be seen:
The code in the button is:
Code:
var changer = slide1_mc.software_mc;
smallButton.onPress = function() {
_parent.changeSection(changer);
};
So - the initial part of my function works so I know my 'external' initializing of "currSection" is working (that clip is zooming/fading out)... but then the clip that I want to fade in isn't doing anything.
I want to add things to the display list, some will have event listeners and some not. Is it possible to make an argument optional so it doesn't throw an error if it's not there when calling the function?

View 9 RepliesLet's say I have a function that accepts a function and some arguments as parameters. Something like:
ActionScript Code:
function myFunction(func:Function,args:Array):Void{
// do something awesome here

How would I go about calling this function with the arguments in args? It's pretty simple to call a function without any arguments, but calling it with them..
As an example:
ActionScript Code:
// I'd like this call
myFunction(trace,["Hello world!"]);

I have a main class that is running an external sub class which loads my data (loads data via flash remoting on a ColdFusion server). No problems loading the data; however, I am trying to run a function from the main class on the sub class function onResult. I do not have problems running functions in the sub class in general, only in the responder result function. Problem: My problem is that I can't pass the main class through the function onResult because I get a error with the arguments.Here's what some of the code look likes:
function init(){
myService2.connect("URLgateway");
var responder:Responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);

Is there any way to pass an argument to a function being called by a ContextMenuItem?The effect I want would be what one might expect from this pseudocode:
Code:
var cm = new ContextMenuItem("Start Alt", set_row_style('start_alt_here'), separatorBefore=true, enabled=true, visible=true);
Which obviously doesn't work, or I wouldn't be asking.So far I've tried using the captions as a basis for a switch condition, which works.
Code:
function set_row_style(obj, cm) {
switch (cm.caption) {
case 'start_alt_here' :
...
But I'd rather not use an arbitrary string as part of a function.The only other option I see is using a listener for each ContextMenuItem, then calling the function with its arguments from there.Is there any more direct a way to pass an argument to a function from a ContextMenuItem?
