Flash :: Array Syntax Error Or Sheer Impossibility?

Mysterious Syntax Error Message When Adding New Array
I keep getting this syntax error in my Test Movie Output:

Quote:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Actions, Frame=1: Line 191: ';' expected
var pickqty_arr(comp) = [

but i honestly can't find any error in this script. It seems fine to me. I have other similar scripts that work just fine - why doesn't this?

If I comment out the part of the script where the error occurs (below), the error disappears and my movie functions correctly for the most part, but I can't figure out why.

ActionScript Code:
//Quant Box
_root.createTextField("Quant",20,400,250,50,20);
var QuantText = Quant;
Quant.text = "q0";
Quant.type = "dynamic";
Quant.maxChars = 2;
Quant.font = "Arial";
Quant.size = 10;
Quant.align = "right";
QuantDisp = new TextFormat(Quant);
Quant.setTextFormat(QuantDisp);
Quant.setNewTextFormat(QuantDisp);

//Quantity List
var pickqty_arr(comp) = [ // <--THIS IS LINE # 191 WHERE THE SYNTAX ERROR SUPPOSEDLY OCCURS
{label:"QUANTITY"},
{label:"qone",data:'q1'},
{label:"qtwo",data:'q2'},
{label:"qthree",data:'q3'}];

function changeQty(comp) {
QuantDisp.text = comp.getSelectedItem().data;
Quant.setTextFormat(QuantDisp);
Quant.setNewTextFormat(QuantDisp);
}
qtylist.setDataProvider(pickqty_arr); // REFERS TO COMBO BOX CALLED qtylist
qtylist.setSelectedIndex(0);
qtylist.setChangeHandler("changeQty");

btw, I'm using Flash MX.

Thanks!

Loading External Data To An Array Syntax Error
I'm trying to load data from an external text file into an array. I created an array and am able to load the data into an array if I explicitly say something like

ActionScript Code:
array[0] = event.target.data.uid1_name;

I can then do a trace statement on array[0] and it will output the correct name from the file. My problem is I'm trying to iterate through the variable names in the text file in the file by using an index variable. This is the code I'm using after doing all the URLloader, URLRequest, and so forth stuff:

ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 0; i<20;i++){
fArray = event.target.data.uid_name;
}

This produces a syntax error. I've tried several other syntax variations but haven't been able to figure it out.

I've also tried the following:

fArray = event.target.data["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray = event.target.data.["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray = event.target.data."uid"+i+"_name";

All three of those also give me errors. For the first one the trace statement outputs "undefinded" instead of "Doug". For the second I get "syntax error. Expecting identifier before left bracket". And for the third I get "syntax error, expecting identifer before uid.":

Any thoughts on the syntax to iterate the number after uid (uid1_name, uid2_name, uid3_name, etc)?

**Error** TempInit : Line 1, Column 5 : [Compiler] Error #1084: Syntax Error: Expecti
Hi,

I'm trying to convert my AS2 project to AS3. I got rid of all errors but one :

**Error** tempInit : Line 1, Column 5 : [Compiler] Error #1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before 45.
var 45:MovieClip;

I got no idea what tempInit is, and no where do I declare a variable called 45...

After searching the web for hours I am tired and thus asking for your help.

Thank you,

Syntax Error Error? Quick Question
I have some code to stream a mp3 and a slider to control the volume. It works fine. I put it into another flash file and then it doesn't. My original is in Flash 8, and the new is in MX2004, I figure that this is why I've got the error message. So I converted the MX2004 to F8 and still I get an error message with my code. Now I can't stream this sound, could someone point out my mistake to me? Thank You

Code:
var game_sound:Sound = new Sound();
game_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
trace("Sound Loaded");
game_sound.start(loops,1000);
game_sound.setVolume(20);

}
};
game_sound.loadSound("atmosphe-PSION-3280_hifi.mp3", false);

Sheer Courtain FX (help)
hi flash lovers!
I hope you can solve my puzzle here:

check the website:
- http://www.janetjackson.com,

once it's done dwnloading the .swf click on:
-Enter song experience.

let it load again and observe:

there you will see this opening courtain that makes things that stand behind it look sheer. I wanted to know if any of you could find out how they did that nice "opaque"(sheer)effect.

thanks for your help.

Syntax Error: Can Anyone Spot The Error Pls?
I'm getting a syntax error on this code, can anyone spot where it's gone wrong?
Note: it works using Actionscript 1.0, but not 2.0 for some reason.

This is the error message:
**Error** Symbol=control, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 1: ')' expected

Hi there,

I have been following a website tutorial and as far as i can see my code is identical to that in the tutorial however when i compile i get the following output.

1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before .3.
This error occurs at scene 1, layer 'layer 2', frame 1, line 3

I will paste the code below so hopefully someone who knows a lot more about AS than i do will be able to solve the problem

Buttons Screwed Up {Sheer Hell. HELP}
My fla contains a menu. One button on the menu, when pressed, goes to frame 40, which contains a loaded swf. They can navigate the loaded swf, and press a button on the bottom to return to the menu.
However after returning to the menu, all will only go to frame 40. It's like there is a scripting conflict between loaded and unloaded buttons or something.
Is there some kind of issue with loaded and unloaded clips' buttons conflicting?
What is wrong? This has swallowed up a ton of my time.

Update:

I think the problem is two things:

1) The loaded swf's reference "this._parent" to navigate the root, and the non-swf's use _root.[clip] to navigate.

2) The problem occurs when one specific loaded SWF interacts with the root, and then calls a calls a frame in another loaded SWF. Once inside the frame of the second SWF, you can use the button to get back to the main menu, (The main menu is an MC and not a SWF). This is when the buttons get jammed, and will only go back to the second SWF. It's like their code gets erased.

Does that detail things a little better?

Still Can't Get It... Syntax Error?
still trying to get this one, suggestions haven't worked yet...

i've got a movie loaded into _level1. there's a drag and drop inside that movie. the drag and drop works fine on it's own (ie. when that movie is played on it's own) but not when it's loaded into _level1.

here's one version of the dozen different ways i've tried...

on (press) {
startDrag (getProperty(_x, _y));
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (_droptarget == "_level1.TA1") {
// send image back even though it hit target
setProperty ("", _y, OrgY);
setProperty ("", _x, OrgX);
nextFrame ();
} else {
setProperty ("", _y, OrgY);
setProperty ("", _x, OrgX);
}
}

Syntax Error?
Is there something wrong syntactically or otherwise with this code? -it is on the first frame of my preloader:

loadMovieNum ("Main.swf", 10);
loadMovieNum ("Layout.swf", 100);
loadBytes = "0 of "+Math.round((((_root.getBytesTotal()+_level10.get BytesTotal()+_level100.getBytesTotal())/1024)*1000)/1000)+" Kb";

My preloader bar moves as if the movies are in the levels and are preloading, but my loadbytes number is only representing the 6KB that is the preloader movie itself -- it is not adding the size of the two external swfs into the number....any ideas?

Thanks,
Jaime

Syntax Error, Please Have A Look
Hi! I'm new to flash and I'm now doing the "Building Games in Flash5 Part1: Player Movement and Fire" tutorial, but on step 5 where I'm about to insert the script for the laser I'm getting an syntax error.
My code looks like the one below, please help me anyone

Quote:

onClipEvent (load) {
// code goes here
}
onClipEvent (load) {
moveSpeed = 10;
_root.laser._visible = false;
laserCounter = 1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) { laserCounter++;
_root.laser.duplicateMovieClip( "laser"+laserCounter, laserCounter );
_root["laser"+laserCounter]._visible=true;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= moveSpeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y -= moveSpeed;
}
}

Syntax Error
Hi all
Please see this Url http://www.geocities.com/elhoot
first: I would like to hear ur feedback about the design of the site
second: there is an error in the end of every page in the site, if any one have any idea about the reason please tell me.

Odd Syntax Error...
This is probably a REALLY stupid question, but I'm having some problems with a little bit of code in Flash. This is the code:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var select;
var _root.qnum = 1;
var _root.gval = 0;
var _root.hval = 0;
var _root.rval = 0;
var _root.sval = 0;
var _root.end;
stop();
}

Flash reports two syntax errors:

Quote:

**Error** Scene=Scene 3, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Syntax error.
var _root.qnum = 1;

**Error** Scene=Scene 3, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 4: Syntax error.
var _root.gval = 0;

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

What confuses me is the fact that it only reports errors on two of the variables, and they're all declared the same way. Does anybody know the reason for this? It's probably something really stupid that I overlooked...

Thanks,
Matt

Syntax Error?
i don't know if you will be able to tell from my script but any ideas whats wrong with it?

PHP Code:

can_mc.stopDrag();
grow=(can_mc.hitTest(soil_mc)==true)&&(planted=="1")
if(grow){
this.nextFrame();
_global.stalk="1";
attachMovie("stalk","stalk1",2);
stalk1._x = 450;
stalk1._y = 90;
}else if(can_mc.hitTest(soil_mc)==true){
this.nextFrame();}
}else if(can_mc.hitTest(inv_mc)==true){
attachMovie("jack1","jack1a",76);
jack1a._y=190;

i get the error message

sure its something very simple. cheers.

Syntax Error...WHY?
This keeps giving me and error and I don't know why...it's probably something real easy and obvious too...

code:

}

P.S. I suck at ActionScript. All I want the button to do, is to go to another movie and go to frame 1. All movies are on the Main Timeline. I want to go out of this movie, and into the other, which has the instance name of "3_mc" and go to frame 1. Pretty easy huh...

[F8] Syntax Error?
whats a syntax error? I don't know how to fix them and I get them kinda a lot. This was the code I used for a skill button. Do I need a different order or something? The whole project thing was to test a turn based system (thats why the codeing might be bad or wrong)

on(press)
{gotoAndStop(12)}

thanks for reading.

[F8] Syntax Error
hi there,

I'm using this panorama picture template (http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Anima...9997/index.php)

and everything works fine when my publishing settings are set to flash 5,6,7 | AS1

why then does it throw up a syntax error when i export using flash player 8 when the AS is still set to 1?

the line in question which is being called up as a syntax error is:

Code:
dup = "body" add m;

the full piece of code is:

Code:
m = 0;
while (Number(m)<Number((/:myPanoramaDuplicates*2)-1)) {
m = Number(m)+1;
dup = "body" add m;
// Depth of this layer and depth of city layer CANT be the same. So in this layer I add 10 to the depth to make sure of that.
duplicateMovieClip("body", dup, Number(m)+10);
setProperty(dup, _x, Number(getProperty(dup, _x))+Number(m*getProperty(dup, _width)));
}

if anyone could tell me whats wrong with the code when exporting as flash player 8? thanks.

I keep getting this syntax error i dont know what it is i also have this action on a frame its suppose to make my drop down menu drop (which is called navigate) but whenever I rollover it the menu just sits there what do I do to change this.

ActionScript Code:
// check to see if the mouse is over the menu every time a new frame is entered
// (at the current frame rate that is 12 times a second)
this.navigate.onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// if the mouse IS over the menu ...
if (this.hitTest(my_root._xmouse, my_root._ymouse, true)) {
// if the menu is NOT fully open
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
// go to the next frame of the menu opening sequence
nextFrame();
}
// if the mouse is NOT over the menu
} else {
// if the menu is NOT fully closed
if (this._currentframe>1) {
// play the previous frame of the menu opening sequence
prevFrame();
}
}
}

I have tested the code and the first "if "statement in my code works, but the "else if'"s do not work. I am new to math in flash... and any help would be greatly appreciated.

In CS3, using AS2.

Taking a tutorial on mp3player. My xml file is fine, my mp3Player.as file is fine. In the mainmovie...one layer, one frame. On frame one i have an action to inlude mp3Player.as on line 1 - #include "mp3Player.as" -

when testing movie i get 'syntax error on line 2' but there is no line 2......is there an issue with the 'include' statement, is it not closed ? I dont get it, still learning AS.

I do know there is something wrong with my action in layer 1, frame 1, Line 2 (which is blank) Line 1 again is as follows:

#include "mp3Player.as"

any ideas?

I have a code like this, but it I can't get it right. Why can't I use mcMain."contentItem"+i.item_name ? If I use mcMain.contentItem1.item_name then it works. How should I make it correct to use i variable?

Code:
mcMain.attachMovie("contentSubtitle", "contentItem"+i, mcMain.getNextHighestDepth(), {_y:mcMain.height, _x:0});
mcMain."contentItem"+i.item_name = "some text";
i++;

setProperty(/:walls, _x, startx+(horizontalno/2));
setProperty(/:walls, _y, starty+(vertikalno/2));

In flash 5 all works well but in 8

Syntax Error
I found this tutorial on making a panoramic image. But when i export it using flash 8 settings the actionscript outputs an error.

Here is the code;

Code:

// --------------------------------------------
// Make duplicate of picture
// --------------------------------------------
// tmi=total duplicates (2)
// dup=new movie duplicates
// image=original movie
// --------------------------------------------
m = 0;
tmi = 2;
while (Number(m)<Number((tmi*2)-1)) {
m = Number(m)+1;
dup = "image" add m;
// Depth of this layer and depth of picture layer CANT be the same. So in this layer I add 1 to the depth to make sure of that.
duplicateMovieClip("image", dup, Number(m)+1);
setProperty(dup, _x, Number(getProperty(dup, _x))+Number(m*getProperty(dup, _width)));
}

It outputs a syntax error with this;

Code:

dup = "image" add m;

And i havent gotta clue why it isnt working.

Help will be greatly appreciated
