Is there a way to get the names of variables from a flash game? I have been playing with my players health with the code;
javascript:document.embeds[0].SetVariable("_root.player.intHP", 0)
I am looking for a way to find out the rest of the variables, like damage and such.
I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
View 1 RepliesThe thing is, I create a grid on the screen, and each of its element is given a name. The question is, how can I access those specific grid's fields by their names? Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
private function drawGrid():void
{
var startX:uint = 0;

If I have a MovieClip called parent_mc and inside it I have another called child1_mc, I can use a variable for the "1" part of child1_mc and change the alpha for example like this:
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:Number = 1;
parent_mc['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
What is the right syntax to use if child1_mc is not actually a child of anything and just sits on the stage? I have tried the following and it didn't work:
ActionScript Code:
['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
and I tried:
ActionScript Code:
stage['child'+myVar+'_mc'].alpha = 0.5;
That didn't work either.
if i have mc duplicated or an object instance name thats stored inside a variable how can i call it? for ex: _root.mov1._x = 53; What if i want instead of mov1 a variable name. lets say randomname is a var and it holds the name of a duplicated object with a name i dont know since its random. now how can i call it just like the example above cause i tried
_root.varname._x=33; but it thought varname was an instance name instead of var.
There's a way to get the instance name of objects/symbols for variables and use this in actions and/or functions?
View 4 RepliesSo, I have something like..
Code:
select = ("block" + number);
trace(select._currentframe);
number++;
This is because I have 5 movieclips named block1, block2, etc. However, it returns undefined. When I directly state the instance name, like:
Code:
trace(block1._currentframe);
It works. How do I use variables as instance names?

I would like to make an Object that has key names taken from a variable. Probably this is not clear enough, so let me make an example.
I have two variables var str1:String = 'firstKey'; and str2:String = 'secondKey';
How can I make an object that would look like:
var obj:Object = {firstKey: 'some value', secondKey: 'some other value'}, note that firstKey and secondKey are values of variables str1 and str2.
Doing obj = {str1: 'some value', str2: 'some other value'} does not yield a result that I would like
i want to query about a point here,
Now, When i make a loop for example a "for" loop
ActionScript Code:
var i:int;
for (i=0;i<4;i++){
// Looping Code For 4 Times
}
in the looping code, when i use a variable, for example "myVar"
Can i make the variable name be "myVar0" in the first time looping, and the name be "myVar1" in the second time looping, and so on ..
I can't create new variables within a for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) {
var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite();
}
This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.
What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.
Still learning how to use for loops, I want to set a huge range of Boolean Variable to false. like:
var met0:Boolean = false;
var met1:Boolean = false;
var met2:Boolean = false;
etc... etc...
how can I dynamically name variables inside a for loop and set its data type? I know how to with movieclips but can't get it to work with variables
I have created movie clips using loops that names them box1, box2, box3.... via = i + 1;duplicateMovieClip (_root.box, "box" + i, i);but i then want to edit a textbox which is rooted inside each movie but related to the movieclip just produced. so if box1 had just been produced then:box1.textbox.text = " E cell = +j+"V";is done so effectively i am looking to do: box+i.textbox.text = " E cell = "+j+"V";

I am using the tween class to change the alpha value of a MC upon rollOver and rollOut. To refine the effect, I assigned a variable to the MC's alpha value so if the mouse moves off the MC before it has reached 100% alpha, it wont start immediatly fading from 100%, but from the value it had reached before the user stopped the rollOver action. Unfortunately, when I leave my mouse over the MC until it goes to 100%, and then I wait a second or two, the alpha snaps back to 50% (the starting alpha value).I can't figure out why this keeps happening, but I have run into it with other projects and I surmise it is the way I am using the tween class. Below is the code I used to make this happen.To see the problem, here is a link to the compiled file:
// image 1 Set 2
groupA.group2.image1.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("main_resized/1.jpg", pictureHolder);

View 3 RepliesI am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result.

I am making a simple math quiz game that generates two numbers randomly and then the user has a keypad to enter the answer. I trace not only the real answer to each question but also what the user punches in and I even have it so that it checks to make sure the user's answer is correct.
What I need now is to find a way to export that data into an html page. I think I can do so with php, but I really need it to go into javascript. Does anyone know how I can send this data, either in a string or as integers to Javascript? I believe that the integers would be best.

The question is about producing a learning package for users to improve their mathematical skills.One part of it is for times tables. So the user will enter their name and then a question will appear e.g. "What is 6 X 9?" The user then inputs their answer and the system will compare and process the input, storing the incorrect and correct responses and then giving a final score at the end.The question is to; identify the names of the likely variables and processes required for the system generation of a question and the subsequent processing of the user's response.(10 marks)Then it asks to write some pseudo-code to describe 10 consecutive question/response activities and their final results showing their name too. (15 marks)

My php page has some javascript. The php passes some variables obtained in POST to my JS script, which connect to a 3rd party app. Now my problem is, i can call the script from AS3 without any problem, but when i do so, it seems like the JS is never running.
