eval (#include links.as)???

[djdesigN]

Hi guys

does anybody know how to use #include with eval()?

I have a if statement

if(x==1)
{
//I want to load one.as here

}

else if (x==2)
{
//I want to load two.as here

}


thanks in advance

Why do you need Eval for this?

you can try something like this. Whatever your condition is.

var myname = false;
if (myname) {
#include "one.as"
} else {
#include "two.as"
}

#include include AS files when the movie is compiled. It cannot be used to load script during runtime.

to do this you need to put the script in an swf and load that instead.

I am trying to make an updatable directory in flash

so I want the user to have total control.....
the .as file will be updated by another program
and a flash exe will read that file and display its contents

m taking all the values of combobox from diff .as files

I tried

if (place.getSelectedItem().label == "NY") {
#include "NY.as"
}

where "place" is the instance name of combobox


but it gives syntax error...so i thought I might solve the prob with eval
...

Then you should build an "engine" that reads textfiles/xml and adapts the movie from that instead. Much easier to manage updates that way.

/Mirandir

can i read XML without using a server??

[Mirandir]

ofcourse you can!

If you save it in an plain textfile. You can then load it with the xml object.

/Mirandir

The syntax erro came i think because you should always put a line with just a ; folowing an include statement.

You can load xml directly in flash using the xml object load function

var my_xml = new XML()
my_xml.onLoad = function()
{
//do something when it is load
}
my_xml.load("my_url_to.xml")

You should use a server to load an xml file only when it is modified by the user and you don't want the file to load from the cache...
