Left Side Of Assignment Operator Must Be Variable Or Property Error
Hi
I have made a little countdown application from a tutorial off this site.
What i am trying to do is to make it so that when the countdown gets to 0 the movie jumps to frame three and a little movie then starts to say you have reached the countdown, As you can see by the code below i have tried a couple of things but keep getting an error of:-
code:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 14: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
if(length(hours2) = "0" & length(minutes2) = "0" & length(seconds2) = "0"){
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
And im totally confused now so any ideas would be greatful.
code:
myDate = new Date();
seconds = myDate.getSeconds();
minutes = myDate.getMinutes();
hours = myDate.getHours();
seconds2 = 59-seconds;
minutes2 = 59-minutes;
hours2 = 8759-hours;
if (length(minutes2) == 1) {
minutes2 = "0" + minutes2;
}
if (length(seconds2) == 1) {
seconds2 = "0" + seconds2;
}
if(length(hours2) = "0" & length(minutes2) = "0" & length(seconds2) = "0"){
//goto frame three wants to go here
}
else {
newyear2006 = (hours2+" Hours : "+minutes2+" Minutes : "+seconds2);
newyear20061 = ("Seconds left until 2006");
}
Thank you very much

Help The N00b: "Left Side Of Assignment Operator Must Be Variable Or Property" Error
Okay, I'm trying to teach myself actionscript by playing around with some files that were created back in the hallowed days of Flash 5. The file in particular is a goofy "toy" that plays a mc wherever you click your mouse, over and over again, until the entire scene is filled with instances of the mc. A button allows you to remove each mc one by one until the screen is clear again.
Unfortunately, MX doesn't let you use the eval function on the left hand side anymore. I've searched the web for a fix, but the ones I've tried don't work (either you're limited to one mc at a time or the clip abruptly stops and closes). Anyone want to help this noob understand what he's doing wrong?
Here's the flash 5 actionscript that launches the mc "box":
ActionScript Code:
on (press)
{
n = n + 1;
bn = "box" + n;
duplicateMovieClip("box", bn, n + 16384.000000);
setProperty(bn, _x, cursorpos_x);
setProperty(bn, _y, cursorpos_y);
eval(bn + ":n") = n;
}
Here's the flash 5 actionscript for the "clear" button:
ActionScript Code:
on (press)
{
if (n > 0)
{
bn = "box" + n;
removeMovieClip(bn);
n = n - 1;
}
}
I tried using advice from this forum to fix the problem, but I must be an idiot because I couldn't get it to work.

Left Side Of Assignment Operator (+i)
Hi
Please can anyone tell me how to add "i" to the left side of an assignment operator. I need to refer to multiple text fields named "text0", "text1", "text2" etc. within a loop. Something like this.....
Code:
for(i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
text(+i).text = myArray[i];
}
Thanks!
[CS3] Error: Left Side Must Be Variable Or Property
I'm really confused. Now hopefully you can explain and maybe give me a better code. To start, here is my code:
onClipEvent (load){
var num1 = Math.random()*4+1;
var num2 = Math.random()*4+1;
if (num2 = num1){
num2 = Math.random()*4+1;
}else{
var num3 = Math.random()*4+1;
if ((num3 = num2)or(num3 = num1)){
num3 = Math.random()*4+1;
}else{
var num4 = Math.random()*4+1;
if ((num4 = num3)or(num4 = num2)or(num4 = num1)){
num4 = Math.random()*4=1;
}else{
var num5 = Math.Random()*4+1;
if ((num5 = num4)or(num5 = num3)or(num5 = num2)or(num5=num1)){
num5 = Math.random()*4+1;
}
}
}
}
}
Obviously, it probably isn't very good (I'm trying to make each variable random but different than each other). Now I get an error about this line:
num4 = Math.random()*4=1;
It says "Left side must be variable or property". Isn't it though?

Assignment Operator
Hi...
I have the following problem.
I have an array that has a name for a square.
In my i want to edit the _width value of each square by using a loop.
The first part with the for loop works and shows 4 squares.
The second loop must change the _width for each square but this doesn't work.
grafieken[g].onEnterFrame = function() { were grafieken[g] is the array does not work. However, if i change this too grafiek1.onEnterFrame = function() { this will work for only the first square.
How do make sure all the squares will change
Code:
grafieken = new Array("klant1", "klant2", "klant3", "klant4");
count = 0;
//first part
for (g=0; g<grafieken.length; g++) {
_root.grafiek1.duplicateMovieClip("grafiek"+grafieken[g], count);
trace(grafieken[g])
oCount = eval("grafiek"+grafieken[g]);
with (oCount) {
_width=10;
_height=10;
_x = (count % 16)*_width;
_y = (count % 16)*_height;
count++;
}
}
//second part
for (g=0; g<grafieken.length; g++) {
//trace(grafieken[g])
grafieken[g].onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._width <= 99) {
this._width += ratio;
if (this._width == 100) {
grafieken[g]_uitslag = this._width;
trace("Maximum is bereikt");
}
}
}
}

function whichItem (whichType){ //trace("whichItem function was called"); if (whichType == "1mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Double Door Display"; unitItem.item_desc = "80 x 96 Display Frame" unitItem.item_dimensions = "80 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 100; }else if (whichType == "2mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Single Door Display"; unitItem.item_desc = "42 x 96 Display Frame" unitItem.item_dimensions = "42 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 85; }else if (whichType == "3mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Side Window Right"; unitItem.item_desc = "Side Window Panel With Right Window" unitItem.item_dimensions = "30 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 150; }else if (whichType == "4mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Beam"; unitItem.item_desc = "Vertical Connector Beam" unitItem.item_dimensions = "12 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 75; }else if (whichType == "5mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Side Window Left"; unitItem.item_desc = "Side Window Panel With Left Window" unitItem.item_dimensions = "30 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 150; }else if (whichType == "6mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Shelf"; unitItem.item_desc = "Brochure Display Shelf" unitItem.item_dimensions = "24 x 48"; unitItem.unit_price = 100; }else if (whichType == "7mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Poster Panel lg"; unitItem.item_desc = "Large Top Mounted Poster Panel" unitItem.item_dimensions = "80 x 24"; unitItem.unit_price = 40; }else if (whichType == "8mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Poster Panel sm"; unitItem.item_desc = "Small Top Mounted Poster Panel" unitItem.item_dimensions = "0 x 24"; unitItem.unit_price = 40; } _root.purchaseArray.push(unitItem);}
And just for reference, here's how those pesky clips got there (again, posted in a previous thread):
PHP Code:
for (k=1; k<9; k++) { this["btn"+k].kvar = k; this["btn"+k].onPress = function() { getclips(this.kvar); trash.enabled = true; btn_trash_all.enabled = true; };}/****************************************************************************** Clip handling: attaching, dragging and also tracking (via "reportMe") ******************************************************************************/ function getclips(l) { clip = container.attachMovie(l+"mc", "mc"+i, i); clip._type = l+"mc";// "_type" property used for clip type comparisons reportMe = clip; myType = reportMe._type; //trace(reportMe._type); addSubtotal(myType); clip.k = l; clip._x = 180; clip._y = 180; clip.onPress = doDrag; clip.onRelease = clip.onReleaseOutside=noDrag; cliparray.push(clip); clip.ivar = i; i++;}
Now when I run it and attach a few clips, I get their proper _type, but whichType is assigned the same thing for each(?). Here's what I get in a trace after dragging out 3 clips and calling the collectAndSort function:
Code:
6mc
4mc
2mc
Single Door Display
Single Door Display
Single Door Display
clip 6mc, 4mc, and 2mc are correct but the matching for a text output via whichItem isn't and it's called in that for... loop. They shouldn't each be matched to "Single Door Display".
I'm thinking this needs to be approached differently but I don't have the option of writing out (php or whatever) and then reading back in to to split etc. (was reading the "best of" archives as saw a great one on this).
So, here's my tangled mess. I know that it is at least getting that far which is encouraging, just that the final sorting through to populate a text field as a purchase list gives me a match for the first clip attached (ie "Single Door Display").
Later edit....sorry forgot to mention that "Single Door Display" string comes from the unitItem.item_name property matched in the whichItem function (also shown above).
Can anybody help out a guy in over his head?
For Loop Problem And Property Assignment Of Object
Related to my other thread on retrieving object names from an array, I'm running into an issue where clips that are dynamically assigned names and attached to a "container" along with a _type property are getting caught up in for... loop being used to sort through all of the clips attached to "container".
PHP Code:
function collectAndSort() { for (var obj in container) { if (typeof container[obj] == "movieclip") { whichType = container[obj]._type; whichItem(whichType); trace(whichType); } }}
the whichItem function looks like this (nothing fancy):
PHP Code:
function whichItem (whichType){ //trace("whichItem function was called"); if (whichType == "1mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Double Door Display"; unitItem.item_desc = "80 x 96 Display Frame" unitItem.item_dimensions = "80 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 100; }else if (whichType == "2mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Single Door Display"; unitItem.item_desc = "42 x 96 Display Frame" unitItem.item_dimensions = "42 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 85; }else if (whichType == "3mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Side Window Right"; unitItem.item_desc = "Side Window Panel With Right Window" unitItem.item_dimensions = "30 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 150; }else if (whichType == "4mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Beam"; unitItem.item_desc = "Vertical Connector Beam" unitItem.item_dimensions = "12 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 75; }else if (whichType == "5mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Side Window Left"; unitItem.item_desc = "Side Window Panel With Left Window" unitItem.item_dimensions = "30 x 96"; unitItem.unit_price = 150; }else if (whichType == "6mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Shelf"; unitItem.item_desc = "Brochure Display Shelf" unitItem.item_dimensions = "24 x 48"; unitItem.unit_price = 100; }else if (whichType == "7mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Poster Panel lg"; unitItem.item_desc = "Large Top Mounted Poster Panel" unitItem.item_dimensions = "80 x 24"; unitItem.unit_price = 40; }else if (whichType == "8mc"){ unitItem.item_id = whichType; unitItem.item_name = "Poster Panel sm"; unitItem.item_desc = "Small Top Mounted Poster Panel" unitItem.item_dimensions = "0 x 24"; unitItem.unit_price = 40; } _root.purchaseArray.push(unitItem);}

Concatenating The Left Side .. ?
is there a way to concatenate the left side of any line of actionscript? i'm able to do it using the old set() variable operation. like this:
Code:
set("_root.myClip"+i+".name", 2);
but how do you do it with any line of actionscript? this won't work, for example:
Code:
set("mySO.data.clip"+i+"name", eval("_root.clip"+i+"name"));
and you can't do anything like this either:
Code:
eval("mySO.data.clip"+i+"name")= eval("_root.clip"+i+"name");
any suggestions?
Left Side Operators
Okay, I know that in Flash 5 the following was okay:
eval("/:var1" add "/:var2") = /:varWhatever;
But in MX I get the error:
Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
I've never read anything about remedying this. Any suggestions? I'm sure it's something stupidly simple

Find Left/right Side Of Movieclip
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way with actionscript to determine the right and left side of a movie clip? I have a row of dynamiclly loaded pictures that load into a movieclip and then have arrows that scroll the photos left and right using an interval and _x +=10. The scroll works great. Only problem is, it just goes on and on and on if you keep pressing the arrow. Is there any way to tell it where the left and right side are and not to let either side go past a certain point. sorry for the long winded question.
thanks in advance!

OnRollOut On The Left Or Right Side Of A Button Only?
Hello,
i'm kinda new with Flash and i'm trying to work out a popup-menu.
I've been at it for over two months and it still doesn't work properly.
Last sunday i got, so to say, a revelation: i've been using buttons in buttons, and all of the sudden i figured out i should be entering each button with it's own popup in a separate frame.
It's actually quite simple (oh yes, now it is!).
But i still got one hurd to overtake.
When i move the cursor over the fist popup-button, my popup-balloons popup , like intended and when i move it sideways over to the next button, the ballons just stay put.
So i first have to go over the invisible button-area en roll out before they disapear and i can open a new popup and so on...
Is it possible for me to make some kind of 'onRollOut' for only the left and right sides of the main buttons?
If anyone has a clue how to do this or if you got another solution, your welcome.
My .fla-file can be found here:

I'm making a drop down menu and I've been fooling aropund with it for awhile now. Everythi8ng works fine except I can't get the mask to go over a white line that I have in the drop down.
Can anyone help me with figuring out why I can't just pull the mask over?

Question About Variables In Left Side Of Statement
Ok, I have 5 movie clips (DEAL1 through DEAL5), each containing a loader box (ImageLoader1 through 5) which loads an image in each. These 5 images can then be flipped through like a slideshow. All that is good and works fine, pulling the filenames from an XML file:
Code:
IMAGE1=allData[0].attributes.ImageFilename;
// That line is repeated for IMAGE2 thru IMAGE5
But then I wanted the slideshow to start on a random frame, which I did with this on frame 1:
Code:
// Start on a random frame
TheNumber = Number(random(6))+1;
if (TheNumber == 1)
{
gotoAndStop(2)
}
else { gotoAndStop(_root.TheNumber) };
So in order to get the first image to load, I need to match the random starting frame number with the MC number (DEAL#), loader (ImageLoader#), and filename from the XML file (IMAGE#.jpg)... so I wanted to transform this:
Code:
DEAL1.ImageLoader1.contentPath = "DealImages/"+IMAGE1+".jpg";
DEAL2.ImageLoader2.contentPath = "DealImages/"+IMAGE2+".jpg";
DEAL3.ImageLoader3.contentPath = "DealImages/"+IMAGE3+".jpg";
DEAL4.ImageLoader4.contentPath = "DealImages/"+IMAGE4+".jpg";
DEAL5.ImageLoader5.contentPath = "DealImages/"+IMAGE5+".jpg";
into something like this:
Code:
ImgNum = TheNumber - 1;
var DealNum = "DEAL"+ImgNum;
var LoaderNum = "ImageLoader"+ImgNum;
DealNum.LoaderNum.contentPath = "DealImages/IMAGE"+ImgNum+".jpg";
... only this doesn't work. I can trace ImgNum, DealNum, and LoaderNum just fine... but put into the LEFT SIDE of the statement, DealNum.LoaderNum.contentPath is undefined. Is there a way to set those to work? Thanks!

Why Can I Not Animate Rectangular Image To Move Left Side To Right?
Hello
I have a rectangle and i want to animate it so that the left side is moved right until the middle of the rectangle. It seems to only want to animate it so that the left side moves right and the right side moves left, at the same time
even if i drag the white dot in the middle of the rectangle, then it correctly lets me drag the left side into the centre, but when i add the motion tween it just ruins the animated so do a shrinking into itself affect
how can i achieve this?
Flash Blinks On The Left Side Of My Screen When I Use Mozilla.
If you go to http://www.womenswallstreet.com/ and you use a mozilla browser you will see flash animations blinking on the left side of the page.
I realized that this looks like a javascript issue as when I disable javascript on the page, the blinking disappears.
Does anyone have thoughts on what is happening?
Thank you.
Can I Move The Stage To The Left Side Of The Flash MX Working Area?
Hello,
Is that possible to move the Stage to the beginning of the left side of the working area in Flash MX? I have a very long movie clip(4200px wide)which actually starts out the stage of the right side. I cannot include all content because the of stage area allows me to use something not longer than 2880px wide. I am wondering if there are any settings for that or I can move the stage itself to the left side since I am not using that side.
Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
