• Dynamically named Session variable?

  Is it possible that I can assign a session variable to a name of a variable?

  Something like this, but that actually works?

  < cfset variables.userid = 238 >
  < cfset session.user #variables.userid # = 1 >

• Dynamically naming a variable with a variable name

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to understand if it is possible to what I'm trying to do. I did an array of the names of SESSION variables that I want to have created, because I'll need to loop through the variable SESSION several times on this page. So I start by creating such an array of SESSION names, then I create a SESSION if it has not already been created. After I start a CFLOOP that will loop through all the SESSION names. Then I do a variable which is the current name of the SESSION. Then I try and set a value for the SESSION, it is, the value is simply getting the new name of the variable. The variable is the SESSION name as a string and another variable treatment. Is it possible to do this? Any idea is appreciated.

  HELLO CR,.

  Thanks for your post. Who did the tour and thanks for showing me how a structure works just as well. I'll use that instead. I also need a table. I have a list of names of the error and the messages I want to loop through. I like the structure could I plug the name of structures in the CFLOOP statement. Is this possible with a table to 2 dimensions as well? If so, could you show me how it's done? With the help of the list option is own co and neat, I would prefer to use it as much as possible.

• instantiate dynamically named vectors: HOW?

  I am trying to create a dynamic named vector.  Help, please! : I have a critical project deadline tomorrow, and this little problem keeping continuous development...

  I adapted my code in this example ( http://www.hsharma.com/tech/flash/dynamic-multidimensional-vector-in-as3/ ), but get an error message (see below).  Here's what I have:

  for (var n = 0; n < nodeContainer.length; n ++) {}

  nodeObj = nodeContainer [n];

  var vName:String = nodeObj.nodeID; would be a chain, something like 'root' or 'media '.

  This ["v_" + VNAME] = new Vector. < Object > (); should translate as a vector called something like "v_root" or "v_Media".

  trace (["v_" + VNAME])

  }

  Yet, I get this error message:

  «ReferenceError: Error #1056: cannot create v_root property on Torque.Torque.»

  It seems that the method of creating dynamic vector name is valid (for example, the string "root" comes from the data object), still why cannot it not create it?

  This ["v_" + VNAME] = new Vector.

• How can I dynamically load swc files using as3? (without relying on the Flash IDE).

  How can I dynamically load swc files using as3? (without relying on the Flash IDE).

  The SWF file can be used in the same way as the CFC, which means that you don't need to "visually show" anything when it is loaded. Your code can use the classes and assets incorporated into the SWF, just as a SWC file. So if someone just to load the SWF file to see what was in it that they see nothing. They could however access programmatically to what anyone on the inside just like you, if they went to that level. But it is not as easy as just racing as SWF to see what is inside.

  I hope that all packaging several separate sovereigns will allow you to load and unload only what you need to keep the RAM usage as low as possible with a minimum load SWF.

• How to add dynamic names to MC in AS3?

  Hello

  I am trying to create a script simple enough image for a flash site. What it does is create a container named mc and then load a picture in the mc of XML. It traverses the XML file as in a loop for each. But the problem I have is that each container image then gets the name mc. So now when I try to compile the function that allows to press one of the containers image to enlarge, it is the last great picture because it's the last of them to be created with the name mc. So, how can I give each movieclip that I create a different name as mc1, mc2 etc.

• Creating dynamically named features

  Hello
  
  Somehow, I think this might be a difficult question, a fortiori, a difficult question to ask...
  
  I want to know how to create a dynamic set of functions based on a set of vaying of identifiers. IE: I have a scene in which I dynamically load different images. I am loading images in a dynamic text field formatted html using the < img > tag together with the variable "id" for identifier.
  
  Each image has an identifier assigned to it. say, for example, addcart2, addcart1, addacart3... etc...
  
  That's why I want to create a named function dynamically for each identifier: that is to say:
  addcart1.onRelease = function() {...
  addcart2.onRelease = function() {...
  addcart3.onRelease = function() {...
  
  On a course, there may be 1 ID., at other times, there may be 50. There may be zero.
  
  Secondary to this, I want to create variables in functions, based on the identifier name. It is the function of "addcart1" a variable according to the number 1, 'addcart2' will be variables according to the number 2... etc.
  
  Is this as clear as mud? If so, I'll re-post and try and clear this up...
  
  Raised,
  Dan
  

  2 ways to solve this:
  (a) store the correspondence "with the images:"
  for (var s = 0; s<= table.length;="" s++)="">
  s = eval("buy_txt.addcart"+s).ID;
  eval("buy_txt.addcart"+s).onRelease = function () {}
  trace ("basket number =" + this.id);
  }
  }
  (b) use another function to assign the onRelease:
  function setRelease (object, id) {}
  object.onRelease = function() {}
  trace ("basket number =" + id);
  }
  }
  for (var s = 0; s<= table.length;="" s++)="">
  setRelease (eval("buy_txt.addcart"+s), s)
  }

  Instead of eval(), you can also use the table syntax as in the attached code.

• Limits of dynamic Calc Manager Variables

  Hello, is it possible to specify a dynamic range in the "limits" of a variable of Manager calc?  I want to do is limit a RTP for the period dimension so that a user to select from a range of forecast periods.  periods are a range of forecasts of starts by a planned start-up period and traverse December i.e. & fcstMnth:Dec.  I tried to use the range (& fcstMnth:Dec) in the specification of limits, but that has not worked.

  Thank you

  The structure of the period is standard. Periods of roll up to quarters and full year.  I see what went well, my period subvar has been the last period in a quarter, apparently when @irsiblings is used in "limits", it will not cross parents level members, in my case the quarter.  that is, if the period subvar has been set to Jan, the function returns only Jan, Feb, Mar to RTP.  I used @list(&fcstMnth:Dec) instead and it worked correctly.  Thanks for your help

• Dynamically naming a file using a send in B2B operation

  Hello
  
  I use a send in B2b adapter operation that deletes a file in a particular location.
  The time now its filing a file as default to standard naming by B2B.
  I just wanted to know that is it possible where we can do it dynamically?
  for example - to search for a value in the file and concatenate file name model who is in B2B?
  need a solution.
  
  Thank you!
  
  Kind regards
  Shreya.

  That's what I mentioned. Set the file name of middleware with header file name and make sure you select "preserve filename" in your channel. B2B will use the name of the file passed in the header of middleware, as the name of the file to write to the directory.

• Dynamically change the variable substitution for the region title

  Is there a way to update the title of a region when you use variable substitution (for example. P1_TITLE_DATE)? I use a dynamic action to update the region-, but it does not update the title. Does anyone have a work around for this without submitting the entire page?

  Hello

  You can run code JavaScript change the title of your region.

  $("#MY_REGION div.rc-title").text("New Title")
  

  JQuery selector code depend on your model and its theme.

• Reset a numeric variable in As3

  I have a script for a counter I increment button,

  the script is:

  var MyCounter:Number = 0;

  Inside of a button script:

  .. .bla bla...

  MyCounter = MyCounter + 1;

  MyText.text = MyCounter.toString ();

  When I restart 0 MyCounter

  I am trying:

  var MyCounter:Number = 0;

  If MyCounter was 4 he follow with 5 and so on.

  What is the syntax to reset var in as3?

  Thank you.

  You would have to reset the value, just assign a value of zero.

  MyCounter = 0;

  What you write makes it look like you said the same variable again instead.

• Text dynamic and changing text in AS3

  I have a dynamic text box in my library.  I drag my main stage and give it a name... It's now a movieclip. The name is "mcAdmin".  I added a MOUSE_OVER event listener.  I want to change it the color of the text, but for now I just try to change the text; However, it does not display the change in the text that I want.  I do track and change is here on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.  How do I:

  (1) use AS3 to change the color of the font of the text

  (2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?

  function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void
  {
  Mouse.Cursor = "Button";
  

  Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration '.

  I want to change the color of the Administartion on Mouse_Over

  but to see if I can come up with something, I just try to change the text.

  
  mcAdmin.text = "Hello";
  trace (mcAdmin.Text);

  
  mcPPMB.alpha =. 5;
  mcASB.alpha =. 5;
  mcISO.alpha =. 5;
  mcEA.alpha =. 5;
  mcAdmin.alpha = 1;
  
  mcAdmin.scaleX = 1.25;
  mcAdmin.scaleY = 1.25;
  }

  Thank you.

  Type a name for the textfield object if it isn't already (sounds like you put it into a movieclip).

  to change the text, set the text property of your text field

  Like this

  myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text."

  or if she is inside a movieclip

  myClip_mc.myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text."

  To change the color, you need a TextFormat on it. To keep the same fontsize, police etc, you could first get the TextFormat of your existing Textfield, change the color of the TextFormat and place it on the TextField object.

  get the Textformat of the first character

  var TF:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat (0.1)

  Set font color
  TF.color = 0xff0000;

  on the set of the text
  myTextField.setTextFormat (TF)

• Import XML stored variable in as3?

  Hey guys
  
  Basically, my current project has lots of global variables, for example
  
  Globals.Data.var1
  Globals.Data.var2
  
  etc.
  
  What I do is the value of each variable in my XML file, then pass the value to the global var in my project
  
  so in the XML file xmlvar1 could have a value of 8.
  
  Then in my project, I want to:
  
  Globals.Data.var1 = the value of xmlvar1 (in other words, 8)
  
  so a) is there a simpler way to do this that way I adapted code Adama and (b) if not, why the code does not work (I'll paste the code below).
  
  Basically, I can read the XML variable in my as3 code, but after all the functions of importing XML, when I said to trace (globals.data.eTP); -It returns undefined.  However, if I said trace (globals.data.eTP); immediately after the line of code that matters, he returned 8 Then it is like the rest of my as3 code attempts to deal with the variable before it entered my XML file:
   
  var myXML:XML = new XML();
  var XML_URL:String = "edit.xml";
  var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest (XML_URL);
  var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader (myXMLURL);
  myLoader.addEventListener ("complete", xmlLoaded);
  
  Create the function of xmlLoaded
  function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {}
  
  Place xml data into the object myXML
  myXML = XML (myLoader.data);
  Initialize and to give the name of var XMLDocument new external
  var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
  Ignore the spacing around the nodes
  xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
  Define a new name for the loaded XML file that matches the data in myLoader
  var menuXML:XML = XML (myLoader.data);
  Analyze XML data in a readable format
  xmlDoc.parseXML (menuXML.toXMLString ());
  
  Run "for each" loop to go through all the menu items listed in the external XML file
  for each (var T:XML in myXML... (T) {}
  
  Access the value of the "T" node in our external XML file
  globals.data.eTP = T.placeMe.toString ();
  
  } //end of loop foreach
  
  } / / end of xmlLoaded function
  
  trace (Globals.Data.eTP);
  
  Any ideas what's happening?  Also, is there a different syntax in the globals.data.eTP = T.placeMe.toString (); code to bring in numbers instead of text?
  
  Thanks for your help guys.
  
  Shaun
  

  I guess that globals is a class that has a static object, data and you have imported globals in the scope that contains your code.

  If this isn't true, you have more problems than the two below:

  1. your loop is repeatedly attributing values to the property of the object, globals.data.eTP

  2. you are running to the trace() function before your function xmlLoaded(), as mentioned in one of your other threads.

• Through query string variables in AS3?

  Man! I searched with ferocity and can't seem to find a solution that works for me. I'm trying to pass variables via query string on a page PHP to Flash and then the swf file add video clips from the scene according to the information he receives.

  Here's what the PHP will send:

  swfobject.embedSWF("flash/detailScore.swf?a=0-0&b=0-0&c=30-54&d=30-20&e=42-18", ...

  And here is my AS3 code:

  function loaderInfoSh(e:Event):void{
   
   var myQueryStrings=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
   a = myQueryStrings.a;
   b = myQueryStrings.b;
    c = myQueryStrings.c;
   d = myQueryStrings.d;
   e = myQueryStrings.e;
   addTheResults(a,1);
   addTheResults(b,2);
   addTheResults(c,3);
   addTheResults(d,4);
   addTheResults(e,5);
   }
  this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderInfoSh);

  
  The addTheResults function takes the coordinates, adds an instance of MC to the scene and positions it as a result.

  var colorMCArray:Array = new Array();
  function addTheResults(val,colnum:Number){
  
   if(val == null){val = "52-46";} // so I can test it locally
  
   var daColor:String;
   
   switch (colnum){
   case 1:
   daColor = "f3951c";
   break;
   
   case 2:
   daColor = "74b47d";
   break;
   
   case 3:
   daColor = "436494";
   break;
   
   case 4:
   daColor = "9b74ac";
   break;
   
   case 5:
   daColor = "b43d44";
   break;
   }
   
   var dash:int = val.indexOf("-");
   var lateral = val.slice(0,dash);
   var vertical = val.slice(dash+1);
   lateral --;
   vertical --;
  
  // adding the MC instance
   var comm:tileB = new tileB();
   comm.name = "comm"+colnum;
   addChild(comm);
   colorMCArray[colnum] = comm;
   
  //Change the color 
  var colorTransform:ColorTransform = colorMCArray[colnum].transform.colorTransform;
   var thiscolor = "0x"+daColor;
   colorTransform.color = thiscolor;
   colorMCArray[colnum].transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;
   colorMCArray[colnum].x = 5;
   colorMCArray[colnum].y = 536;
   colorMCArray[colnum].x += (lateral * 9);
   colorMCArray[colnum].y += (vertical * 9)*-1;
   colorMCArray[colnum].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btnro);
   colorMCArray[colnum].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, btnrout);
  }
  

  
  I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

  Was it the 'e' in the code below that you were related to as the culprit? 'e' is not a keyword. It's just the abbreviation for the word 'event' for the name of the variable of type event which is the subject of the event that triggered the call to function loaderInfoSh. In your code, you have assigned e = myQueryString.e, which should have given you a type mismatch error.

  function loaderInfoSh(e:Event):void{
  
   var myQueryStrings=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
   a = myQueryStrings.a;
   b = myQueryStrings.b;
    c = myQueryStrings.c;
   d = myQueryStrings.d;
   e = myQueryStrings.e;
   addTheResults(a,1);
   addTheResults(b,2);
   addTheResults(c,3);
   addTheResults(d,4);
   addTheResults(e,5);
   }
  this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderInfoSh);
