Left Side Of Assignment Operator Must Be Variable Or Property
I have a an actionscipt like this in a flash template
PHP Code:
var _loc1 = new Array();
_loc1 = _loc1.concat([1 - 6.914000E-001 * arg / 100, --6.094000E-001 * arg / 100, --8.200000E-002 * arg / 100, 0, 0]);
_loc1 = _loc1.concat([--3.086000E-001 * arg / 100, 1 - 3.906000E-001 * arg / 100, --8.200000E-002 * arg / 100, 0, 0]);
_loc1 = _loc1.concat([--3.086000E-001 * arg / 100, --6.094000E-001 * arg / 100, 1 - 9.180000E-001 * arg / 100, 0, 0]);
_loc1 = _loc1.concat([0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);
the problems lay between line 2 to 7. Could you tell me what s wrong it. I am an ignorant newbie in flash.
Thanks in advance

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

Syntax Error - "Left Side Of Assignment Operator Must Be Variable Or Property"
What the...
I just updated from Flash 5 to Flash 6 and I go to publish a swf (that I've done heaps of times before) and it comes up with the following syntax error in the Output box:

Now, what on earth is wrong with "if (xmousepos1>xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-76 && ymousepos1<--45) {" etc etc ????????
If somebody could let me know, then that would be great!

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.

[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");
}
}
}
}

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);}
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?

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);}
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?

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:

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?

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!

DuplicateMovieClip Variable Assignment
I'm trying to build a somewhat dynamic menu where you can set the number of menu items you want and it will create the menu for you.
I created a movie clip named "item_name" with a dymanic text box with a variable named "label_name".
Then on the root timelime I have the code below:
//declares how many main nav items there are
var num_of_nav = 4;
//defines the main nav items
var nav_items_1 = "about";
var nav_items_2 = "policy";
var nav_items_3 = "show";
var nav_items_4 = "contact";
//hides the original nav item in which to be copied
item_name._visible = false;
//builds the main level nav items
var num = num_of_nav;
var i = 1;
var y_pos = 0;
while (num > 0) {
duplicateMovieClip (_root.item_name, "nav"+i, i);
setProperty ("nav"+i, _x, 0);
setProperty ("nav"+i, _y, y_pos+25);
//need to set the variable for "label_name" here?
i++;
num--;
y_pos = y_pos + 25;
}
__________________________
How do I go about setting the label_name in the newly created movieclips?
Please help!!
Thanks,

Variable Assignment Issue
Hi,
I am a newbie to Actionscript and the way it is going, I am not sure for how long I will remain in same state. As of now I am trying to modify a code sample I got on net for my need. In the process I am as well attempting to convert it from AS2 to AS3. I am appending my .as file below.
The text that it is printing is:
load func called
gridMovie width= 0 sx= 40
loaded image image1.jpg0 0
Ideally gridMovie width should be printed as 40 as I am assigning it the value of sx. Please suggest why is this happening.
And after that I receive plethora of errors:
ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData$iinit()
at ImageGrid/loadFunc()
at ImageGrid$iinit()
at portfolioas3_fla::MainTimeline/portfolioas3_fla::frame1()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at ImageGrid/enterFrameFunc()
I think these errors are being caused by aforementioned issue of width being assigned wrongly.
Please let me know what am I doing wrong. I am using Adobe Flash CS3 to build it.
Thanks,
Mukesh

Variable Assignment From SWF To Loaded SWF
Hi, I have been playing with this for a day and haven't been able to figure out the proper path to load this variable.
So I have a main movie, a menu (movie clip) in it, and each menu option loads an external swf in a movie clip instance (called content) in the main movie.
Loading the movies works fine.
My problem is I want assign a variable that I have declared in a loaded movie in the 'content' instance.
Main Movie
|
- Menu (MC)
-onrelease -loads movie.swf, assigns defaultpage var a value
|
_ content (MC)
|
- Movie loaded dynamically from Menu (eg. movie.swf)
-Variable defaultpage is declared on frame 1
Here is the onrelease code I'm using
on (release) {
this._parent.content.loadMovie("company.swf"); //this works
this._parent.content.defaultpage = "somevalueinhere"; //this doesnt
}
What am I doing wrong? thanks

Replacing Attributes Property Of XMLNode Has Side Effects
I have an XML or XMLNode object (XML is deducted from XMLNode) whose attributes I'd like to get rid of. The 'attributes' property of an XML/XMLNode seems to be an object (it's behaviour at least points in that direction), so I do:
myXML.attributes = new Object();
I assign a new Object, since I don't know the method (if there is any) to clear all attributes. Anyway, the assignment has some odd side-effects. Using a for..in loop to enumerate the new attributes will reveal the following properties:
__constructor__
constructor
__proto__
After some hairscratching I tried the following:
myXML.attributes = {};
Now, the for..in loop shows only:
__proto__
constructor
This already points out that '{}' is *not* equivalent to 'new Object()', as one would expect, but more important: how on earth do these extra properties make their way into my *newly* created object? When I create a new object outside of myXML, these properties are kept hidden. So both:
myObject = new Object();
and
myObject = {};
will not have a for..in loop look into their 'system properties'. It seems like the attributes property from XML/XMLNode has some special treatment somewhere. I wonder if anyone has a clue to what is happening here...
