Flash :: Is There A "User Function"-Type Sorting Available In AS?

Implicit Coercion Of A Value Of Type String To An Unrelated Type Function
Hi there

Why I can't use an "eval" function (i am not sure this is the right terminology) inside addEventListener (I put in yellow) ?

for (i=1;i<10;i++) {
var constructFunction1:String;
var constructFunction2:String;
constructFunction1="choix3"+i+"Handler";
constructFunction2="choix3"+i+"HandlerClick";
MovieClip(this["choix"+i]).addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,constructFunction);

Then error in the compiler:

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Function.

Sorting User-defined Numbers Largest To Smallest?
Hi,

I am looking for a way to sort numbers enterred by a user, prefferably in order smallest to largest or vice verser - but at very least to find the smallest & largest numbers of the ones enterred.

There are approximately going to be 15 numbers or so.

So for example:

Enterred A = 56
Enterred B = 7
....
....
Enterred H = 72

then it should display:

Enterred B = 7
....
....
Enterred A = 56
....
....
Enterred H = 72

when sorted or the other way round (largest to smallest).

this could be done with comparrisons but for 15 numbers it would be A LOT of comparisons.

Does anybody know an algorithm or a way of doing this more simply ?

Array.sort may do it but not sure if it works for numbers?

Any help is much appreciated!

[F8] Problems Reading Text Present In Form Before User Type Anything
To be honest I am tempted to post this in the newbie section ><

I have a multiline text field saying "Enter your question here" and I have made doubly sure that there are no linebreaks or extra spaces.

However my code if(question_txt.text eq "Enter your question here"){} does not work and when I trace it there is a linebreak after the text for some reason.

If I change the form to be single line, it all works fine !?!

ehmmm... help

User Defined Base Class Linked With 2 Symbols Gives Error #1034: Type Coercion Failed
Hi, I have two movie clips in the library linked to the same base class, Container, with different class names defined in Properties. These clips each contain (nest) several other clips that are also linked to another base class, Contained. Is there something else that needs to be done to deal with nested clips like this? I'm not certain that nesting is an issue, but in a scenario with different symbols I could not replicate the problem. I've attached a simplified version of the problem .fla with the 2 .as files. I'm using the latest version of CS3. The error is: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Contained_AnteriorLeft@1c4ba431 to Contained_PosteriorLeft.

Defining A :Function Type Of Function
Hi All,

There may not be a way to do this, but I thought that I would be able to return a function call by doing something like this:

PHP Code:

//pass vars zoomTo(hotels[i]);//passes "port" correctlyfunction zoomTo(whichMov):Function { callFunc = "move_"+whichMov; //receives "port" correctly return (callFunc);}//trying to call this function from zoomTo() above:function move_port() { moveMap(-1600,-1200,300,300,1);}

The variables are being passed correctly, however, I'm not sure how to call a function this way. Any help?

Database Type Function?
I hope all you very capable folks can come up with a solution that I can understand!

I need to include a glossary (approx 100 words and definitions) in a flash file whereby the user can click on a word from an alphabetical list and the definition will pop up. Also will have clickable words scattered about in the text of various pages that they can click on. The client does not have the option of using a database program at this time. It has been done in the past using eval(), but maintaining the text file that loads in is a nightmare since they have to renumber it each time they add a word. I tried loading it into an array from a file built in "Excel", and (with a few minor replacements in "Word"), it worked fine, but took WAAAYYYY too long!. Is there an easier way to go about this? The documentation advises not to use eval() anymore, but I don't know how else to achieve the same functionality. If you are going to tell me to use XML, be patient, that's new territory for me.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

[Type Function] Return? Wtf Is This?
I have script that creates an array of numbers, randomly choses one from that list, assigns this number to one of the MC's depth, removes it from the array, then moves on to next MC. The purpose is to randomly generate Depth levels.

v_?? are variables
a_?? array
c_?? Clips (MC's)
i_?? interger counters
f_?? functions

when I "trace" the result for the FishA, it displays [Type Function], OR reports the depth is -16383 (or some ridiculous #)

what have i done wrong? What does [Type Function] mean?

onClipEvent(load){
v_Depth = 0;
a_Depth = new Array();
for(i_Count = 0; i_Count < 30; i_Count ++) {
a_Depth [i_Count] = i_Count;
}
function f_SetupDepth(fv_MC) {
v_Depth = random(a_Depth.length);
trace(v_Depth);
_root[fv_MC].swapDepths(Number(v_Depth));
a_Depth.splice(v_Depth,1);
}
f_SetupDepth(c_Column1);
f_SetupDepth(c_Column2);
f_SetupDepth(c_Column3);
f_SetupDepth(c_Column4);
f_SetupDepth(c_Column5);
f_SetupDepth(c_Column6);
f_SetupDepth(c_FishA);

[type Function] Returned
I'm trying to display the velocity of a movieClip "Glider" in a dynamic text field.

In the movieClip "Glider":

Code:
var _Vx:Number = 1; //Set to 1 for testing purposes
var _Vy:Number = 1; //Ditto

function _V ():Number {
var v:Number = Math.sqrt(_Vx ^ 2 + _Vy ^ 2);
return v;
};
And in the scene:

Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
Out.text = "";
Out.text += "Vx=" + _root.Glider._Vx + " ";
Out.text += "Vy=" + _root.Glider._Vy + " ";
Out.text += "V=" + _root.Glider._V + " ";

This gives me an output of:
Vx=1 Vy=1 V=[type Function]What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

Variable Of Type Function
Hi,
Actionscript question - what's the rationale behind the fact that one is able to create a public variable of type function in a class, then define that function later at runtime?

The CellRendererAPI requires that any CellRenderer class declare (but not define) a set of functions & properties.
It's bugging me why this is not resolved through inheritance.

Thankyou.

GetBytesLoaded: [type Function]
Hello,

I'm trying to load PHP data into a Flash movie, and it worked a couple of times. But now I get the following message when I try to write the loaded number of bytes to the screen:
"getBytesLoaded: [type Function]"
"getBytesTotal: [type Function]"

This is what I do:

PHP Code:

function writeStringFromDB(TextID,Language,ButtonID)
{
    var    stext = new LoadVars();
    stext.TextID = TextID;
    stext.Language = Language;

    var tstring = new LoadVars();
    stext.sendAndLoad("fetchText.php",tstring,"POST");
    tstring.onLoad = setText(tstring,ButtonID);
    Debug.text += "getBytesLoaded: " + tstring.getBytesLoaded + "
";
    Debug.text += "getBytesTotal: " + tstring.getBytesTotal + "
";

    function setText(textOBJ,ButtonID){
        Debug.text += textOBJ.toString();
    }
}

And the data returned isn't found in the object, the object seems empty:
PHP script looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
echo "TextString=TestTestTset";
?>

Thanx,
Marcel

Avoiding 'onLoad=[type Function]'
Hi,

I have a dynamic text box that retrieves text from a PHP file that in turn retrieves text from a mySQL database. Sometimes the PHP file may necessarily display no text if the mySQL database is empty. However, when the dynamic text box in Flash tries to retrieve text from an empty PHP file the dynamic text box displays onLoad=[type Function]. Is there a way of making the dynamic text box display nothing in such circumstances?

I have attached the actionscript the dynamic text box uses to retrieve its text and also the PHP code used to retrieve text from the mySQL database.

Many, many thanks,

        }
    }

    return result;
}

Hey guys I wante to be able to take the code in the comments ( if its a type of manager then set it to var )

and make a general function to handle this process. Is it possible? Below my comments is a general solution I envisioned.

thanks again ^_^

Function Can Return Multiple Type
Hi there.

Ok, I would like to know if someone know how to achieve this.
I have a superclass (singleton) with a static function returning the type of the class.

ActionScript Code:
// create the singleton
public static function createWorld(owner:MovieClip):superClass {
// init the superClass
superClass.instance.init(owner)
return superClass.instance;
}

I have a child class which is inherit from the super class.

The thing is I want to be able to create my childClass instance like that

ActionScript Code:
var gameworld:classes.childClass = childClass.createWorld(this);

but I have a type mismatch as it return the super class type.

Any idea?
I know that I could get rid of the return type and it will be ok, but I wonder if there is another way to achieve what I want.

Cheers

ExternalInterface Handling Function Type
Hi All

I've had a look around the web, and I can't seem to find an answer to this.

Does anyone know why if you call Actionscript from Javascript, via the ExternalInterface class, and you pass in a Function type, it's value turns to null in the Actionscript? i.e.

javascript:

ActionScript Code:
var testFunc = function(){
var test = "blah";
}
document.getElementById("flashMovie").flashFunction(testFunc);

Actionscript:

ActionScript Code:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashFunction", callMe);

public function callMe(param1:*):*{
trace(param1)
}

trace outputs 'null'?

Is this a permanent feature of ExternalInterface, or a fixable bug?

Also, any objects you pass as an argument are copied, rather than passed as a reference, so any changes you make to the object in the Actionscript are not reflected in the Javascript. I have no idea what the ExternalInterface is doing with these parameters, so again, I wonder if this fixable or not.

Thanks

Darren

ComboBox [type Function] XML Problem
What I'm trying to accomplish is populating a ComboBox component's labels and data using an Array that's created from an XML data source. I know that I can populate the ComboBox in ActionScript using this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
comboBox.labels = ["itemA",'itemB","itemC"];
-OR-
var cbArray:Array = ["itemA",'itemB","itemC"];
comboBox.labels = cbArray;
------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I'm running into problems when the Array is created from my XML datasource, like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
for (var g:Number = 0; g < aChildren.length; g++) {
var aItem:String = aChildren[g].firstChild.firstChild;
cbArray.push(aItem);
};

comboBox.labels = cbArray;
trace(cbArray);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've left all of the XML details (load, onload, etc.) because I don't think that the problem is there. In my example, when I test the movie, the trace(); function displays the correct info, but the comboBox component is populated only with an identical number of instances:
[type Function],[type Function],[type Function],[type Function],[type Function]...

I couldn't find a thread anywhere with my particular problem. Any ideas?

Can I Pass A Class Type As A Function Parameter?
So, in AS2, I had a function that would create different movieclips based on variables I passed in (because attachMovie() took the name of the movieclip as a string - e.g. attachMovie("man",...) or attachMovie ("car"...)).

In AS3, it's done more correctly now, with a var mc = new Man() or new Car().

Is there a way for me to pass the class type (Man or Car) as a function parameter to a function:

e.g.

public function MakeMovieClip(classType:<something>):MovieClip {
return new classType();
}

or do I need to basically make a giant switch/case block that switches based on strings (which is what I'm currently doing)?

Control Text With Audio (closed Caption Type Function)
I was not sure which forum this should go in, so I'm hoping General is the best place.

What I need to ultimately do here is create a "closed caption" type of system. The flash utility will be tied into a database. The ultimate goal is that an audio file in a foreign language can be inserted and text pulled from the database. The text should "highlight" as the audio is being played..

That is the tricky part. Simply masking the text and highlighting it is simple.. but how to get the textual words to match up and highlight in time with the audio words. Does this need to be with time stamps or can I use a special character?

ie: Can Actionscript recognize time stamps as the seperator. Could I have the text in the database look like this

"[00:00]I [00:01]would [00:02]like [00:03]to [00:04]buy [00:05]a [00:06]hamburger"

Obviously this seems not to be a great idea, as you will have to get it down to the millisecond as most people don't take herky jerky enough for each word to take a full second to get out.

Keep in mind, items may be added in the future and having a developer make changes to the system everytime a file is added is not an option.

Scope Of A User Defined Function
i want to manipulate the value of a variable passed as a parameter of a function, the problem is there is some sort of scope issue that won't update the variable outside the function. here is the example:

Code:
//there's the variable i want to manipulate
fakeVar=100;

function mult(whichVar){
//let's multiple the variable by 2.
whichVar*=2;
trace(whichVar) // traces 200...correct.
trace(fakeVar) //traces 100, the original value, not correct
}

box.onRelease=function(){
//call the function with the variable i want to update.
mult(fakeVar)
}
the problem is that the function passes the variable correctly and uses it in the script, but when the function ends the variable i passed in isn't updated to the new value anymore as demonstrated by the traces...

any clue how to make a function change a value of a variable outside its scope?

Font Color In User Defined Function
Hi,

I am loading text from an XML file with 500 records. This works fine, but these records average three links in each one. I am forced to create user defined functions for most of these links due to the length of the url. I would like to add the font color blue to each of the functions instead of inserting over a thousand font tags into the xml document.

I hope that's clear. Here's one of functions:

function L19550() {
getURL("http://samplelinkthatgoesonforever.htm");
}

The link works, but it would save me a ton of work if I could include the font color inside each of these functions.

Thanks a bunch,

I'm a c# dev and done lots of PHP, but this is confusing the **** out of me, i cant figure out how to call a simple function.

This is the deal. i am making a menu that also has a mp3 player on it, and when a user clicks a "video" link on the menu, it pauses the mp3 player.

The menu uses actionscript and the layer 1 : Frame 1 simple includes this external like this - > #include "menu.as"

The mp3 player is purchased, i dropped it into the menu, i imported all the stuff and i dropped it in. If i play the video as a "test movie" it works perfectly, so i know that the functions are executing as expected.

What i need to do is call my child object with the function that is included within it called "pauseplayer".

From my actionscript "menu.as" - i expected to be able to do this.

if(this.mc_Text.tText.text = "THEN")
{
//This is where we need to stop the mp3 player (set it to pause).
mp3_player_without_skin_small_mc.pauseplayer();
}

But this is not working, no matter if i make the function in the child swf public or what not. The child is showing up as a Symbol definition and its really confusing how to use the internal functions to that movie.

PLEASE help me.

Previewing The Movie, The Code MovieClip.getDepth Provoke [type Function] Message
I've created several movies using duplicatemovie, each one with a determined depth, as it's demanded.

Then I simply used: trace(copiedmovie1.getDepht)in a frame after
these movies were created.
In the preview, the trace window displays this message
[type Function]
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I supposed to obtain the integer asociated with this movie duplication.

Calling A User Defined Flash Function From A Web Page
Can someone tell me if this is possible. I've got a flash navigation movie in the top frame of a 2 frame web page. Inside the swf I've written a function called "open menu" that takes 3 parameters and does what it sounds like it does within the flash navigation.
My question is ..
Can I call this function and pass in parameters from an html page and have the flash navigation react the same way as inside the swf itself ? I've got an "href only" nav bar on the bottom of the page in the main frame that has
the same navigation elements as the flash navigation and I'd like the top navigation to react accordingly.

Is this possible and if so how.
Thanks in advance
