passing values

Hello,
I tried to passing values. Example.
I have Button_45 and Button_23. Now it flash loaded then it passing default value.

Actionscript Code:

var nice:String="value 1";
// if i pressed Button_45 then
var nice:String="value 45";
// if i pressed Button_23 then
var nice:String="value 23";

// if i pressed some button it gives value else gives default value like on the top
trace("Value whati choose is: " + nice);

Please somebody help how can i do this?

Best,

That cannot be your actual code. It would give errors about redeclaring the nice variable.

Post your actual code.

You are probably redeclaring your variable inside your event handler, which means you are not changing the larger scoped variable with the same name.

Thank u for the answer. I dont have a code i start with new flash project. How can i to this

Actionscript Code:

if (obj.myDProp=="a") {
    trace ("Valu A");
} else {
    trace ("Error");
}

Now i want to change obj.MyDProp value with clicking button? and if i dont press the button then trace print Error

If you have a variable and you want to change its value, then just re-assign it. Do not redeclare it.

Code:

---

var a:String = "hi";

function someButtonHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void{
  a = "hello"; //Do not use "var" here if you want to set the a variable above.
}

Actionscript Code:

b1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnPressed);
var obj:String = "hi";

function btnPressed(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
obj = "a";
}

if (obj=="a") {
    trace ("Value A");
} else {
    trace ("Error");
}

No i tried this but if i pressed button it dont change nothing happend. Output shows only trace Error. If i click button output dont change trace Value A? Whats wrong?

Of course it shows "Error". The code that does the if and trace runs before you have a chance to click the button.

When do you want that code to run?

I need to start this every button click but i need to set a default value to. Like if i pressed button it change var obj.String value and delete previouse value?

Was that a question? I don't know what you're trying to say.

If you want to test the value of obj on every button click, do that in an event handler.

Code:

---

var obj:String = "hi";
b1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnPressed);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, testObjValue);

function btnPressed(evt:MouseEvent):void{
  obj = "a";
}

function testObjValue(e:MouseEvent):void{
  if (obj=="a") {
    trace ("Value A");
  } else {
    trace ("Error");
  }
}

Sorry my english is bad yes. I tried to explain. shortly i need to delete previouse value and replace to new one with button click

Actionscript Code:

// Flash start
var obj:String = "hi";
trace ("Error:" + obj);
// If button clicked delete previouse var obj:String="hi"; and start new one var obj:String="Value A";
var obj:String = "value A";
trace("Value: " + obj);

if this possible? Thank for your time!

You do not need to "delete" the old variable. Simply re-assigning it as we have done above will give it the new value.

Can i but it some another var? is there some ways? Thanks again for your time

Actionscript Code:

var obj:String = "hi";
b1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnPressed);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, testObjValue);

function btnPressed(evt:MouseEvent):void{
  obj = "a";
}

function testObjValue(e:MouseEvent):void{
  if (obj=="a") {
    trace ("Value A");
  } else {
    trace ("Error");
  }
}
var another:String="var"+obj;

I'm sorry, but I still don't know what you're trying to say. Perhaps you could write it in your native language and use google translate.

If you are asking whether you can assign the value of one variable to another, then yes, of course you can.

Code:

---

var another:String = obj;

---

But be aware of when you do that assignment. In the code you just posted, the variable another will have the value "varhi". I don't think that's what you want.

  obj = another;
}

"obj" must change every button click and if button not clicked "obj" have to be "hi"

1) what must obj change to?
2) when do you need to check for button click? You obviously cannot check in a listener for click on the button, because then it would always have been clicked.

I trie to give

Actionscript Code:

private var xmlURL:String = "xml/main"+output_txt.text+".xml";

wich open another xml default loads main1.xml and after i click button it open main2.xml? I think i cant make it with this? Sorry i want to learn but this do not work

Okay. Let's see if I finally get what you're trying to do.

Code:

---

private var xmlURL:String = "xml/main"+output_txt.text+".xml";
b1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnPressed);

function btnPressed(evt:MouseEvent):void{
  xmlURL = "xml/main2.xml";
  loadXml(xmlURL);
}

function loadXml(someURL:String):void{
  //do your loading code here.
}

loadXml(xmlURL); //this is the initial default load.
