[Flashcoders] passing a variable to a function

2005-11-09 Thread allandt bik-elliott (Receptacle) 
k - sorry for spamming this board all day but it's all been from the  
same problem


i've boiled the whole thing down to this:

how do i pass a variable to an onLoad() function?

here is my script
function loadDescriptions() {
for (var i=0; i_root.menuItems_array.length;i++) {
var thisTextLoadVars = new LoadVars();
thisTextLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
trace (_root.menuItems_array[i]);
};
var thisDoc = _root.menuItems_array[i];
trace (thisDoc: +thisDoc);
var textDoc = _root.menu[thisDoc].description;
thisTextLoadVars.load(textDoc);
}
}

the trace in the the onLoad function returns undefined. Can anyone  
tell me how to get around this please?


thanks

My guess here is that your reference to _root is 'lost' in terms of scope,
as you're handling the onLoad event locally (on the stack) within the
loadDescriptions() function. Might try this with your current approach:

// namespace for this module
if(_global.LoadNS == undefined) {
_global.LoadNS = this;
}

function loadDescriptions() {
for (var i = 0; i  _root.menuItems_array.length; i++) {
var thisTextLoadVars = new LoadVars();
thisTextLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
trace(LoadNS.menuItems_array[i]);
};
var thisDoc = _root.menuItems_array[i];
trace(thisDoc:  + thisDoc);
var textDoc = _root.menu[thisDoc].description;
thisTextLoadVars.load(textDoc);
}
}

Hope this helps...

That's what I was thinking too. This article may be helpful in this 
situation http://osflash.org/flashcoders/as2?s=delegate.

Yeah, that link actually lays out my own preferred method of executing this.
The snippet I put into this thread was just a quick kludge to get that code
up and working. Please don't anyone take it as the 'right' approach - my
apologies if anyone was mislead...

Peace...
