I am making an audio player app that collects variables based on javascript running on the page. By default it loads 2 mp3s, but I need to be able to re-assign the mp3s that it loads based on different javascript clicks.
I think what I want to do is assign the default 2 songs to variables on file load. Then call a function that re-assigns those variables to the javascript variables passed in. My question is - how do I create a function that only runs on initial load? I assume I could then use javascript to call a different AS3 function to stop the player, re-assign the variables, load the file, and then start it again.
basically i want to be able to load different button.swf files, like button1.swf button2.swf etc and assign them a class so the class handles all the default behaviour of the button. This is for skinning purposes. I want to be able to load a button.swf file into my main movie ( the button.swf has no actionscript in it at all, just the graphics ) and then make it an instance of a existing class like for example button.as . the clips are not in the library so i can not specify the class in the linkage properties. It has to be loaded externally.

I have a number of 'items' (mc's) contained in a scrolling mc that can be drag-dropped to other matching mc's. The items names are listed in an array and I wish to assign variables of suitability and feedback to each mc from the array also. I think this is called an associative array?

I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?
I have loaded XML into flash and everything is great. I have an Associative Array that makes a dynamic menu and everything is great.
What I would like to do is combine the two and have my loaded XML fill up the Array and the dynamic menu.
Here is the XML portion:

//Importsimport flash.net.URLLoader;import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.events.Event;//Create XMl variablevar teamsXML:XML;//Create URL Loadervar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();//Tell the URLLoader named XMlLoader to listen for the xml //file to finish loading, then run the function

I'm trying to populate an array with info loaded in from an xml file. I've got the xml loading fine and I can trace everything but cannot seem to access the info outside of the function...here's my code:
Code:
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
populateNav(myXML);
} else {
[Code]...
My trace inside of the populateNav function works great...all the info is there and image_path returns all of my...image paths. So my XML is fine...what I can't seem to do is pass that info outside of the populateNav function. My imageholder trace returns undefined. I think it's got something to do with the fact that the imageholder trace is being performed before the xml is fully loaded...not sure what to do about that though.
I'm trying to load my XML data into an array. And have this array be randomized, so everytime this swf will be started, another swf will be loaded. (I hope I make myself clear?)

As primitives are copied as 'value' not by Reference, this doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
var myPrimitive1:int = 10;
var myPrimitive2:int = myPrimitive1;
myPrimitive2 = 20; // i want this to affect myPrimitive1 too
My goal is to pick a random property on a data Object() and alter that. My approach was to put all the Objects properties into an array, and then randomise that array, and pick the first element. The only problem is of course that, that element is no longer a Reference to the original, so If I change that it wont alter the original...
ActionScript Code:
// Create Data Object
var myObject:Object = new Object();
myObject.primitiveVar1 = "string1";

In as2 this was as simple, I would just write something like

this doesn't seem to be the case with as3 because i'm getting all sorts of wacky errors. I'm seeing something called foreach() but it doesn't seem to work the same way. Would someone be kind enough to point me towards a good tutorial?
