Save Object To String -> Load String And Convert Back To Object?
Wondering if anyone knows if this is possible. First a little explanation:
1. I have container grid where you can add and position MC's
2. The MC's x,y and other data is stored in a 3d object
3. The object is setup like this: matrix (object) -> levels (objects) -> profiles (objects). So basically a grid which mirrors what you see on screen.
This all works great; however, the application needs to have a save feature. My first thought was decode the matrix into an XML and save that.
Then I thought maybe you can just convert the matrix object to one big string and save that.
Questions: when the string is loaded back into the movie how do you (or can you even) covert it back in a object that flash can read?
Any help/input is greatly appreciated.

Convert To String?
I load variables from a text file named :
&first1=John
&first2=Mark
&first3=Tim
&first4=Mike
I am evaluating them in a loop by constructing the variable I want to test and assigning it the value of first1, first2, etc. based on the current loop iteration
For Example, during iteration start_num=1 :
test_first = "first";
test_first = test_first.concat(start_num);
run_first = eval (test_first);
This makes the variable I want to test, run_test, and assigns it the value of, first1, which is John. So :
run_test=John
However, I am comparing, run_test, to a input from a text box, text_input. text_input is type string, but run_test is type undefined.
How do I convert the variable run_test to a string so I can evaluate it in an IF statement?

How To Convert String To Number?
I have an external text file and it's content is simply "quantity=3".
Then I loadVariablesNum to load this external text file into flash.
As expected the variable called quantity will be a string of "3".
I want to change this string to a number.
So I put in this statement "var newquantity = Number(quantity)".
Unfortunately this doesn't convert the variable quatity from a string to a number?!!
I know that the above statement will work if the variable "quantity" is defined internally, instead of loaded externally.
My question is how should I load a number into flash ... instead of loading a string. Thanks

How To Convert String To Number?
all Mc's are named object1, object2 ect. From there I split the the name to get the number at the end of the Mc's name. From there I will be running a function that controlls all the MC's with numbers above the selected MC.
ie click on object2 there fore object3, object4 and object 5 will animate.
The problem is with activating only those above the selected target. I thought I could use ObjectNumber (in this case 2) and add one to that varaible - hoping that it becomes "3" but instead I get "21"
var objectNumber:Number = this._name.slice (6);
var objectNext:Number = objectNumber+1;
trace ("Next object number is "+objectNext)
OUTPUT is :" 21" (2&1 not 2+1??)

Convert String To A Number
Hi everybody.. I need some help with Flash8,
My intention is to read a number from a txt file, I did it with that code:
-> loadVariables("amount.txt", totalAmount), //amount=100 in the txt file
and then I transfer the txt file content to a variable "outputAmount" :
-> outputAmount = totalAmount;
if I trace(outputAmount); I can see the amount 100
... is working but the problem is, flash consider "ouputAmount" as a string not as a number even if I put this code :
-> outputAmount = Number(totalAmount); (working on flashMX not on flash 8)
Then I can't make any '+ * / -' so HOW can I convert my outputAmount content to a number... to have the opportunity to make an '+ - * /'
Your help wil be APPRECIATE

How To Convert A String To An Object?
Hi all,
I have a problem I ws hoping someone could help me with. I am trying to build a generic function that takes in an event object from a mouseover event, renames the target name (ex. old target=h1 , new target name=b1) with regexp then calls that new object instance to play a frame (b1.gotoAndPlay(2)). This is so I can have h1, h2, h3 event activate target play on b1, b2, b3 with regexp.
Code below:
// events
h1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, over);
h2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, over);
function over(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
var newTarget:String;
var oldTarget:String = evt.target.name;
newTarget = oldTarget.replace('h','b');
//??? this doesn't work because its not an object but string currently
newTarget.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Any thoughts? I could always do a if loop (if h1 then b1.gotoAndplay, if h2 then b2.gotoAndPlay etc.. but seems like bad practice... )
PLease let me know if you need more information, this is my first time posting to a technical forum
Thanks in advance.

Convert String To Variable
Probably a real simple problem, but it is driving me nuts! I have a list of variables that serves as a script for a text-based game (line1, line2, etc.) I also have a number variable that grows by 1 with each line. But I can't figure out how to convert a string into a variable:
Code:
var line1:String = "This is the line.";
var currentLineNumber:Number = 1;
trace("line" + currentLineNumber);
This (as I'm sure you know) is returning "line1", instead of what I want, which is "This is the line."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Convert String To Instance Name
I'm trying to write a function where I can use a string variable to reference a movieclip already on the stage.
Specifically what I want to be able to do is:
-get the name of the MovieClip clicked
-convert the name to a string
-change the string to the name of the next movieclip.
-get the x and y position of the "next movieclip"
I've succeeded up to the point where I need to get the x and y position. Everything I've tried only returns null or undefined.
Here's the relevant code:
ActionScript Code:
var counter:Number = 1;
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent) {
var mcname:String = event.target.name;
//returns "mc1"
mcname = mc.substr(0,-1);
//returns "mc"
counter ++;
mcname = mcname += counter;
//returns "mc2"
var mcX = mcname.x;
var mcY = mcname.y;
//that last part doesn't work. I'm trying to get the position of mc2 which is already on the stage.

to work. Do I have to convert the string to a number to do this? I keep getting negative results eventhough the string and the number match. If I have to convert to a number, how would I do that (ie "123" converted to 123)?
I tried Number() but that didn't seem to work. I searched the forums without success. Please help.
