what I want to do is create an array that will allow me to call an SWF, give it x and y coordinates of a blank movie and load into a level...I understand that this will need four arguments...very unsure how to proceed...
can someone give me a quick shot at how I can get started?
Thanks!
You can have only one argument in an asfunction. Check asfunction in the flash help files. there is an example how to use it.
Per Macromedia (whoops!...Adobe :D)...
Passing multiple function parameters
As mentioned above, the function called by asfunction is only passed a single string argument. One way to mimic passing multiple arguments is to separate the "arguments" using a predetermined string delimiter. Below, three comma-delimited arguments are passed to myFunction.
asfunction:myFunction,argument_1,argument_2,argume nt_3
In the new version of myFunction, the split method is used to break the comma-delimited string into an array of arguments, argumentArray.
function myFunction(param){
argumentArray = new Array;
argumentArray = param.split(",");
for (i=0; i< argumentArray.length; ++i){
trace("Function argument " + i + " = " + argumentArray[i]);
}
}
Testing the movie should result in the following being reported to the Output window:
Function argument 0 = argument_1
Function argument 1 = argument_2
Function argument 2 = argument_3
I'm just not sure how to set up the statement for the asfunction... :p
Yeah you are right I did not think of that possibility. Here is the complete script, but I recommend you not to load into level. you will see why.
And this is the text file.PHP Code:import mx.utils.Delegate;
var myLoadvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
myLoadvars.onLoad = function ()
{
myText.htmlText = this.test;
};
myLoadvars.load ("asfunction.txt");
//
function myTest (arg1:String)
{
var argumentArray:Array = new Array ();
argumentArray = arg1.split (",");
var myLevel:String = argumentArray[3];
loadMovieNum (argumentArray[0], myLevel);
//
var myLoadedVar:Object = argumentArray[0];
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
myListener.traceVar = setInterval (Delegate.create (this, listener), 1000);
function listener ()
{
if (myLoadedVar != undefined)
{
this["_level" + myLevel]._x = argumentArray[1];
this["_level" + myLevel]._y = argumentArray[2];
clearInterval (myListener.traceVar);
this["_level" + myLevel]._visible = true;
}
}
AsBroadcaster.initialize (myLoadedVar);
myLoadedVar.addListener (myListener);
myLoadedVar.broadcastMessage ("traceVar");
}
Here is the modified script for a movieclip loading.PHP Code:test=<a href="asfunction:myTest,testmovie.swf,100,200,1"><font size='24'>Test</font></a>
PHP Code:var myLoadvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
myLoadvars.onLoad = function ()
{
myText.htmlText = this.test;
};
myLoadvars.load ("asfunction.txt");
//
function myTest (arg1:String)
{
var argumentArray:Array = new Array ();
argumentArray = arg1.split (",");
var myLevel:Number = argumentArray[3];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("a", myLevel);
a._lockroot = true;
a.loadMovie (argumentArray[0]);
a._x = argumentArray[1];
a._y = argumentArray[2];
}
It works!:cool: ..but I don't need the listener/broadcaster code, since it will be calling the SWF to the same main movie...and i wanted to point to an emptymovie, but this might work better...though I'm missing the point about loading into levels...?
BTW, thanks!!!
level :mrpimp:Quote:

it looks like this is going to do the trick...many, many kudos to you!!
how can I incorportate this code into the code you provided, so that I can fade the graphic into the stage?...
onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var speed = 2;
if (mc._alpha < 100)
{
mc._alpha += speed;
}
else
{
delete onEnterFrame;
}
};
Thanks again!
try this:
PHP Code:_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("a", myLevel);
a._x = argumentArray[1];
a._y = argumentArray[2];
var mc:MovieClip=_root.a.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc", 1);
mc._lockroot = true;
mc._alpha = 0;
mc.loadMovie (argumentArray[0]);
//
_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var speed:Number = 2;
if (this.mc._alpha < 100)
{
this.mc._alpha += speed;
}
else
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
When I wrote this, I did not have flash. there is a mistake in the script above, Change the script
PHP Code:_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var speed:Number = 2;
if (mc._alpha < 100)
{
mc._alpha += speed;
}
else
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
I must be missing something...here is the code I'm using in the mainframe...
{
myText.htmlText = "";
};
var myLoadvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
myLoadvars.onLoad = function ()
{
myText.htmlText = this.test;
};
myLoadvars.load ("7inch.txt");
//
function myTest (arg1:String)
{
var argumentArray:Array = new Array ();
argumentArray = arg1.split (",");
var myLevel:Number = argumentArray[3];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("a", myLevel);
a._lockroot = true;
a.loadMovie (argumentArray[0]);
a._x = argumentArray[1];
a._y = argumentArray[2];
}
and here is the link within my 7inch.txt file...
<a href="asfunction:myTest,trtjb.jpg,90,187,1"><font size="10">¢</font></a><br>
I don't see where the code you sent fits in...
This is the whole script from my example. You just need to adjust the names to your example.PHP Code:var myLoadvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
myLoadvars.onLoad = function ()
{
myText.htmlText = this.test;
};
myLoadvars.load ("asfunction.txt");
//
function myTest (arg1:String)
{
var argumentArray:Array = new Array ();
argumentArray = arg1.split (",");
var myLevel:Number = argumentArray[3];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("a", myLevel);
a._x = argumentArray[1];
a._y = argumentArray[2];
var mc:MovieClip=_root.a.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc", 1);
mc._lockroot = true;
mc._alpha = 0;
mc.loadMovie (argumentArray[0]);
//
_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var speed:Number = 2;
if (mc._alpha < 100)
{
mc._alpha += speed;
}
else
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
I'm not much of a coder, more of a graphic designer...
Best!
figured it out...there was a } missing, but it works great...again, thanks much!
var myLoadvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
myLoadvars.onLoad = function ()
{
myText.htmlText = this.test;
};
myLoadvars.load ("7inch.txt");
//
function myTest (arg1:String)
{
var argumentArray:Array = new Array ();
argumentArray = arg1.split (",");
var myLevel:Number = argumentArray[3];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("a", myLevel);
a._x = argumentArray[1];
a._y = argumentArray[2];
var mc:MovieClip=_root.a.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc", 1);
mc._lockroot = true;
mc._alpha = 0;
mc.loadMovie (argumentArray[0]);
//
_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var speed:Number = 2;
if (mc._alpha < 100)
{
mc._alpha += speed;
}
else
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
The way I have this set up is that the menu points to a frame (I use a gotoandplay)...I want the movie to disappear when it goes to the new frame...how can I do this with the above code?
As always, thanks!
Which movie?
I want to clear the, I believe, mc...the one that is brought in via the alpha script...when I go to another frame, I want to clear it somehow...
mc.unloadMovie();
Here is the actionscript in frame one:
var myLoadvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
myLoadvars.onLoad = function ()
{
myText.htmlText = this.test;
};
myLoadvars.load ("7inch.txt");
//
function myTest (arg1:String)
{
var argumentArray:Array = new Array ();
argumentArray = arg1.split (",");
var myLevel:Number = argumentArray[3];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("a", myLevel);
a._x = argumentArray[1];
a._y = argumentArray[2];
var mc:MovieClip=_root.a.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc", 1);
mc._lockroot = true;
mc._alpha = 0;
mc.loadMovie (argumentArray[0]);
//
_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var speed:Number = 8;
if (mc._alpha < 100)
{
mc._alpha += speed;
}
else
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
stop();
when I click on the asfunction link, it fades the mc in...now the actionscript in frame 2:
mc.unloadMovie();
myLoadvars.load ("bio.txt");
stop();
Does not unload mc...but it does load the bio.txt...HELP?
Do some trace actions to see if mc or _root.a.mc or so is undefined or not.
