Symbol Path And Name From Variable

Using Eval Function And Variable In A Path (target Path)
Hello,

I have to reprogram some of my website and it calls to conjugate strings in a way that's beyond my understanding. Please help me with some suggestions. Kind regards.

the original code is:

code:
if (_global.useCount<10) {
//hide
var diff = 10-_global.useCount;
for (diff; diff>0; diff--) {
eval(String(11-diff))._visible = false;
}
}

There are buttons named 1 to 10 and this turns off the ones that are not used. Now I want to nest those buttons in subclip "buttonsRow", instead of having them on main timeline. How do I rewrite that code to make it work with new path?

I have already tried the "associative array" method, but it don't really know how to pack the whole eval function in there. I've tried many combinations, like:

code:
this.buttonRow[eval(String(11-diff))]_visible = false;
//or
this.buttonRow["eval(String(11-diff))"]_visible = false;
//or
buttonRow[eval(String(11-diff))]._visible = false;
//or
buttonRow["eval(String(11-diff))"]._visible = false;
//or
buttonRow[eval(11-diff)]._visible = false;
// or
buttonRow[8]._visible = false;
//the last one at least turns off button 8, lol

Some of those return syntax error and some just don't work. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you again.

Attaching A Symbol To A Path Using AS 3.0?
Is there a way to attach a symbol to a guided path in actionscript itself? for attaching multiple symbols to the path to be played at once?

Or is it better to use coordinates to send them on a path?

Attaching A Symbol To The Cursor On A Path
I'm thinking this will involve some actionscript so I'm posting here.

I'm working on the menu for a site. Right now it's simple - text links with a seperating black Line down the right side.

link 1 **|
link 2 **| <-- Line
...**** ***|
link 20 |

What I want to do is this: have a small graphic (ie. an arrow) that can move vertically up and down the seperating line shown above, according to the users mouse position vertically. It can't move horizontal in any way though, it needs to be restricted to that up/down path.
If a link is visited, that's the new default position for the arrow when the user's mouse leaves the menu. On load, the arrow will sit at the first link.
When the user moves the mouse into the menu again, the arrow needs a small one second delay while it moves to the vertical position of their mouse.

I know basic Flash 5, but haven't used it in a long time.
Any help, samples, or tutorials would _very_ much appreciated.

TIA.

Graphic Symbol, Same Path, Diff _rotation
Hello,
I have a animation that has a graphic symbol that is on the main timeline. It follows a cirtain path and is set to different rotations through out the timeline. My problem is, I have 3 other instances of this symbol that I want the user to select from that will have the same path but different rotation schemes. I dont know how to accomplish this, it should be simple but I cant do it. Been trying different approaches for days without success.

I tried changing to a moving clip, layering all symbols on each other and have the user (via radio button) change the _visible property, but i couldnt get that to work either.

Everytime my sybol enteres a new keyframe it defaults.

using flash professional 8.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!! Any Ideas

Trying To Change A Movie Clip Symbol Mid-guide Path
Hi:
I have a movie clip that follows a guide path. I have been trying to make it change to a different color on an event by puting in a gotoAndPlay to a different frame on the movie clip symbol's timeline.
Then I use the coordinate location of the the symbol to trigger the change of frame on the symbol's timeline. The trouble is the movie clip freezes at the coordinate location. Can anyone point me to an example that might help me figger out what I am doing wrong?

Sting Variable To Mc Path - VARIABLE TYPES
Hey all Im building a variable like this

var m = "_root.subNav.subNav" + i;

When I do a trace to find the var type it comes back as a string so my function wont execute thinking it is a string and not a path. Does anyone know how to fix this or change the variable type on the fly in AS 1.0? Ive tried:

var m =eval( "_root.subNav.subNav" + i);

But that came back undefined....
Thanks.

[CS3] AS2 - Use Variable As A Symbol Name?
Hi All,

I'm not sure if what i'm trying to do is possible so I do apologise if it sounds like total madness!

I have 6 items in an array which get reordered, the first 3 being the "correct" items each time.

What i'm trying to do is make the corresponding item you click on disappear if it's a correct item, so at the moment I have the following:

moveitem = "item";
Each item is named item1, item2 etc so i've definied this as the generic value of the variable.

moveitem = (moveitem +(item[1]));
This code is applied once the item is clicked and deemed correct, and adds the number from the array to the end of the variable to make it match the symbol name i'm trying to move.

Now what I don't know how to do is get the data in this variable to refer to a symbol name on the stage, any help would be massively appreciated!

Hyphen Symbol In Variable?
I am trying to pass a variable, but I can not get it to work.


Code:
value = 1-2;
trace(value);


I want it to trace 1 (dash) 2, not 1 (minus) 2. I know this is simple, but can i get some hints.

Also, the source of the varibles is going to come from a external text file, I don't know if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Searching A Variable For A Symbol
Hi everybody

I'm trying to search a textbox for certain characters that if they are present, the user is prompted to remove them, before the form can be submitted.

I can successfully check for one character at a time but instead of writing 15 if statements, i want to pack it all in one if statement, and just separate it with the logical OR operator. But, for some reason it's not working. Even when none of the characters are in the text box, it still acts like there are. here's my line of code, or part of it:


Code:
} else if (linkVar.text.indexOf(""") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf("/") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf(":") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf("*") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf("?") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf(""") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf("<") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf(">") == -1 || linkVar.text.indexOf("|") == -1) {
trace("Filename can't include these characters: /, , :, *, ?, ", <, >, or |.");
Selection.setFocus(linkVar);


If anyone can help, I love them.

thanks

How Can I Pull A Variable Value From A Movie Symbol?
I am using some checkboxes in my movie. The checkboxes are a seprate movie I imported as a symbol. When the user selects a checkbox, it sets a variable to reflect the selection. I want to use that variable in the same frame the checkbox symbol resides but I can't pass it.

It is not set as a local variable either. I am a total newbie when it comes to using variables in flash.

Path As Variable
Objective
What I am trying to achieve is this. 20 buttons (dynamically generated). Each button displaying an external jpg which it loads into a picture viewer (this I have achieved). On clicking each button information about each of the pictures is loaded into a textfield from an external txt file (this I cannot achieve)

What I am Doing
I am loading 20 variables “picinfo1” to “picinfo20” from an external txt file “myData.txt”

Each of the variables contains text such as “my picture one” etc

I am dynamically generating buttons (within an mc) based on the number of variables in the txt file ie. 20

I have a textfield component called “textViewer”

If within the original button if I add the code _root.textViewer.text = picinfo1, the textViewer is populated by information stored in that variable is (obviously all the buttons display the information stored in that particular variable)

Using the looping function that I have to dynamically create the buttons I have a variable “infoCount”

When I add the following code
_root.textViewer.text = “_root.picinfo”+ infoCount - the text field just displays _root.picinfo1 , _root.picinfo2, _root.picinfo3 etc but NOT the information stored in those variables

It seems that it is being interpreted as a string NOT as a path. Is there any way that I can make Flash recognise “_root.picinfo”+ infoCount – as a path NOT a string

Sorry if this is a little confusing

Using A Variable In A Path?
Hi people,

I'm currently kinda stuck on an app Im developing.

I want to use a variable within a path.

Lets say my var's name is "i" and it consists of a number that will be changed.

So its basically var i = 0 and in a loop it says i++

Now I want to target this var in a path.

Lets say app."textfield"+i.text = "test"

That actionscript is wrong, but it's there to give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.

So basically: how do I target an object with a variable path?

Need To Add Variable To Path Name...
So I have a button that occurs throughout the entire movie on the main timeline. I'm declaring a variable on each frame, so if you hit that button on that frame, it should take that variable and use it in the path to something I wanted turned on via _alpha = 100.

So, I want it to be something like:

on (release)(
_root.movieContainer. + "The variable" +.thingToTurnOn._alpha = 100;
)

So, I've never done this before, and I don't know where to begin, I just know that I want that variable I declared on the main timeline to be used in that path when the button is clicked.

Xml Path As Variable?
I am trying to create an xml based site navigation that will drill down to an infinite number of xml levels. I have tried to send an xml path as a variable with the currently selected menu item but I doesn't seem to work. Here is my code, it seems as though it should work, but it does not. Any suggestions?

var nodeList = [];

var xmlSource:XML = new XML();
xmlSource.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
xmlRoot = xmlSource.firstChild;
xmlnodes = xmlRoot.childNodes;
total = xmlnodes.length;

nodesHolder.attachMovie("node","node"+i,i);
nodeList[i] = nodesHolder["node"+i];
nodeList[i].xmlRoot = xmlnodes[i].firstChild;
trace(nodeList[i]. xmlRoot);
nodeList[i].name.autoSize = true;
nodeList[i].name.text = xmlnodes.attributes.name;
nodeList[i].onRelease = function() {
showCurrent(nodeList[i]);
};
}
resetLayout();
} else {
trace("XML Not Loaded!");
}
};
xmlSource.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlSource.load("nodes.xml");

function showCurrent(current) {
trace("Showing Current Node: "+current.xml);
currentCenterX = 0;
currentCenterY = 0;
xmlnodes = current.xmlRoot.childNodes;
total = xmlnodes.length;
trace(total);
nodeList = [];
menuItems = total;
angle = ((360/menuItems)*Math.PI/180);
radius = 250;
for (k=0; k<total; k++) {
current.attachMovie("node","node"+k,k);
nodeList[k] = current["node"+k];
nodeList[k].xmlRoot = xmlNodes[k];
nodeList[k]._alpha = 100;
nodeList[k]._x = Math.cos(angle*k-45)*(radius);
nodeList[k]._y = Math.sin(angle*k-45)*(radius);

[CS3] Accessing Variable On Root Timeline From Within A Symbol

Variable Scope Within Movie Clip Symbol
- I have created a "new symbol" of type MovieClip, named 'tester' (with 'Export for ActionScript' as class 'tester' enabled) which contains the following code:

var val:int = 10;
function testThis():void{
trace(val);
}

- In my main timeline, I have the following code:

var t:tester = new tester();
t.testThis();

Which outputs "0" instead of 10. What am I missing in my understanding of variable scope? And what is the best way to go about solving this issue (having a movie clip with its own variables, accessible by the parent)?

Passing Variable As Path Name
Hi all,

I have four MC's, named "person1" "person2" "person3" "person4" that have a first frame action of stop();.
I also have a set of buttons, all set a variable "i" to either 1,2,3 or 4, and a variable "f" to either 5 or 6.

I then want to send this variable to the correct "person" MC so that the correct one will play, from the right place

I've tried using several methods, all along the lines of:

_root.person(i).gotoAndPlay(f)

but the variable never seems to reach its target.

Any ideas why?

Cheers,

I like to pass another variable, this time with a path (http://...) to a SWF movie.
I wish to load a movie on a level or in a target-movie, but the path to
that movie will be generated dinamically by an ASP page!

Can i do this (or something like this)?
How i can do it (obiviously without Generator, turbine or such)?

Please,probably this is a newbie question...

Path In A Variable Syntax Help Please
Hi,
I am posting again with a hopefully better explanation as I did not get a correct answer.
Please if you are not familiar with this don't answer.

So let me start by saying if you have the name of a mc stored in a variable the way to communicate with that mc would be for example
_root[MCnameVariable]._x = 50;

This works fine if the variable contains just the name of the mc
BUT I now have a situation where I need to store the name of the mc and its parent.

If I just store the name of the parent and mc together in the variable like this
MCnameVariable = _parent._name + "." + this._name;

The _root[MCnameVariable]._x = 50; syntax will not work

what is the correct way to do this?
please help

Problem In Using Variable Within Path
i'm having problem in using variable within path. On root, nc1 = c1;

this[_root.nc1] = "_root." + _root.nomecarta1;

if (_root.carta1 == _root.carta2) { this[_root.nc1].gotoAndStop(4); }


the trace resulte of:
trace(this[_root.nc1]);

is:
_root.c1


if result is correct why can't i use: this[_root.nc1].gotoAndStop(4);

this[_root.nc1] shoud be the same of _root.c1
then: _root.c1.gotoAndStop(4);


and why this does not work.
