[Flashcoders] String to object

2007-01-09 Thread Bart Albrecht 
Hi,

 

I'm migrating some stuff from AS2 to AS3

 

In AS2 I can do this:

function doSomething(btnName:String)

{

_root[btnName]visible = false;

}

doSomething(exit_btn);

 

In AS3

I want to do the same:

public function doSomething(btnName:String)

{

//XXX here I don't know what I should do 

}

 

I hope someone can help me

 

Bart

Hello :)

in AS3 you must use the DisplayObjectContainer methods to manipulate the
childs in a DisplayObject (MovieClip, Sprite, etc...)

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/display/DisplayObjectContainer.html

You can read in the documentation the method
getChildByNamehttp://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/display/DisplayObjectContainer.html#getChildByName%28%29
(name:String http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/String.html):
DisplayObjecthttp://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/display/DisplayObject.html

You can now get the reference of your display with this method.


EKA+ :)

You can do that similarly to AS2, the array notation works in AS3 as
well and referring to a variable by its name is possible (as far as it is
an object instance's field/property, and not a local variable).
However since _root doesn't exist, you have to rethink this part a bit.
