The following table shows the values you can specify for the command and parameters parameters of the fscommand function to control a SWF file playing in Flash Player, including projecto

Trang 1

init An expression to evaluate before beginning the looping sequence; usually an assignment

expression A var statement is also permitted for this parameter

condition An expression that evaluates to true or false The condition is evaluated before

each loop iteration; the loop exits when the condition evaluates to false

next An expression to evaluate after each loop iteration; usually an assignment expression using

the increment (++) or decrement ( ) operators

statement(s) An instruction or instructions to execute within the body of the loop

Description

Statement; evaluates the init (initialize) expression once and then starts a looping sequence The

looping sequence begins by evaluating the condition expression If the condition expression

evaluates to true, statement is executed and the next expression is evaluated The looping

sequence then begins again with the evaluation of the condition expression

The curly braces ({}) used to enclose the block of statements to be executed by the for statement

are not necessary if only one statement will execute

Example

The following example uses for to add the elements in an array:

var my_array:Array = new Array();

for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {

my_array[i] = (i+5)*10;

//trace(my_array[i]);

}

trace(my_array); // output: 50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130,140

The following example uses for to perform the same action repeatedly In the code, the for loop

adds the numbers from 1 to 100

Trang 2

The following example shows that curly braces ({}) are not necessary if only one statement will execute:

Trang 3

variableIterant The name of a variable to act as the iterant, referencing each property of an

object or element in an array

object The name of an object to be iterated

statement(s) An instruction to execute for each iteration

Returns

Nothing

Description

Statement; iterates over the properties of an object or elements in an array and executes the

statement for each property or element Methods of an object are not enumerated by the

for in action

Some properties cannot be enumerated by the for in action For example, movie clip

properties, such as _x and _y, are not enumerated In external class files, static members are not

enumerable, unlike instance members

The for in statement iterates over properties of objects in the iterated object’s prototype chain

Properties of the object are enumerated first, then properties of its immediate prototype, then

properties of the prototype’s prototype, and so on The for in statement does not enumerate

the same property name twice If the object child has prototype parent and both contain the

property prop, the for in statement called on child enumerates prop from child but ignores

the one in parent

The curly braces ({}) used to enclose the block of statements to be executed by the for in

statement are not necessary if only one statement will execute

If you write a for in loop in a class file (an external AS file), then instance members are not

available for the loop, but static members are However, if you write a for in loop in a FLA file

for an instance of the class, then instance members are available but static ones are not

Examples

The following example shows using for in to iterate over the properties of an object:

var myObject:Object = {name:"Tara", age:27, city:"San Francisco"};

for (var name in myObject) {

Trang 4

myObject.name = Tara

myObject.age = 27

myObject.city = San Francisco

The following example shows using for in to iterate over the elements of an array:

var myArray:Array = new Array("one", "two", "three");

for (var index in myArray)

for (var name in this) {

if (typeof (this[name]) == "movieclip") {

trace("I have a movie clip child named "+name);

}

}

Note: If you have several movie clips, the output consists of the instance names of those clips.

The following example enumerates the children of a movie clip and sends each to Frame 2 in their respective Timelines The RadioButtonGroup movie clip is a parent with several children,

_RedRadioButton_, _GreenRadioButton_, and _BlueRadioButton

for (var name in RadioButtonGroup) {

RadioButtonGroup[name].gotoAndStop(2);

}

Function; lets the SWF file communicate with either Flash Player or the program hosting Flash

Player, such as a web browser You can also use the fscommand() function to pass messages to

Macromedia Director, or to Visual Basic, Visual C++, and other programs that can host

ActiveX controls

Usage 1: To send a message to Flash Player, you must use predefined commands and parameters

The following table shows the values you can specify for the command and parameters

parameters of the fscommand() function to control a SWF file playing in Flash Player,

including projectors

fullscreen true or false Specifying true sets Flash Player to full-screen mode

Specifying false returns the player to normal menu view.

allowscale true or false Specifying false sets the player so that the SWF file is always

drawn at its original size and never scaled Specifying true

forces the SWF file to scale to 100% of the player.

showmenu true or false Specifying true enables the full set of context menu items

Specifying false dims all the context menu items except About Flash Player.

application

Executes an application from within the projector.

trapallkeys true or false Specifying true sends all key events, including accelerator keys,

to the onClipEvent(keyDown/keyUp) handler in Flash Player

CHAPTER 2

ActionScript Language Reference

Trang 6

The exec command can contain only the characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.), and underscore (_) The exec command runs in the subdirectory fscommand only In other words, if you use the

fscommand exec command to call an application, the application must reside in a subdirectory named fscommand

Usage 2: To use the fscommand() function to send a message to a scripting language such as JavaScript in a web browser, you can pass any two parameters in the command and parameters

parameters These parameters can be strings or expressions and are used in a JavaScript function

that handles, or catches, the fscommand() function

In a web browser, the fscommand() function calls the JavaScript function

moviename_DoFScommand in the HTML page containing the SWF file The moviename is the name of the Flash Player as assigned by the NAME attribute of the EMBED tag or the ID property of the OBJECT tag If you assign the Flash Player the name myDocument, the JavaScript function called is myDocument_DoFScommand

Usage 3: The fscommand() function can send messages to Macromedia Director that are interpreted by Lingo (Director’s scripting language) as strings, events, or executable Lingo code If the message is a string or an event, you must write the Lingo code to receive the message from the

fscommand() function and carry out an action in Director For more information, see the Director Support Center at www.macromedia.com/support/director

Usage 4: In Visual Basic, Visual C++, and other programs that can host ActiveX controls, the

fscommand() function sends a VB event with two strings that can be handled in

the environment’s programming language For more information, use the keywords Flash method

to search the Flash Support Center at www.macromedia.com/support/flash

You must add a function to the HTML page that contains the SWF file This function,

myDocument_DoFSCommand, sits in the HTML page and waits for an fscommand() function in Flash When an fscommand is triggered in Flash (for example, when a user presses the button), the

command and parameter strings are passed to the myDocument_DoFSCommand function You can use the passed strings in your JavaScript or VBScript code in any way you like In this example, the function contains a conditional if statement that checks to see if the command string is

"messagebox" If it is, a JavaScript alert box (or “message box”) opens and displays the contents

of the parameters string

Trang 7

In the Flash document, add the fscommand() function to a button:

fscommand("messagebox", "This is a message box called from within Flash.")

You can also use expressions for the fscommand() function and parameters, as in the

following example:

fscommand("messagebox", "Hello, " + name + ", welcome to our website!")

To test the SWF file, select File > Publish Preview > HTML

Note: If you publish your SWF file using the Flash with FSCommand template in the HTML tab of the

Publish Settings dialog box, the myDocument_DoFSCommand function is inserted automatically The SWF file’s NAME and ID attributes will be the filename For example, for the file myDocument.fla, the attributes would be set to myDocument

Trang 8

functionname The name of the new function This parameter is optional.

parameter An identifier that represents a parameter to pass to the function This parameter is

Statement; comprises a set of statements that you define to perform a certain task You can define

a function in one location and invoke, or call, it from different scripts in a SWF file When you

define a function, you can also specify parameters for the function Parameters are placeholders

for values on which the function operates You can pass different parameters to a function each

time you call it so you can reuse a function in different situations

Use the return statement in a function’s statement(s) to cause a function to generate, or return,

a value

You can use this statement to define a function with the specified functionname, parameters,

and statement(s) When a script calls a function, the statements in the function’s definition are

executed Forward referencing is permitted; within the same script, a function may be declared

after it is called A function definition replaces any prior definition of the same function You can

use this syntax wherever a statement is permitted

You can also use this statement to create an anonymous function and return a reference to it This

syntax is used in expressions and is particularly useful for installing methods in objects

For additional functionality, you can use the arguments object in your function definition

Some common uses of the arguments object are creating a function that accepts a variable

number of parameters and creating a recursive anonymous function

Example

The following example defines the function sqr, which accepts one parameter and returns the

Math.pow(x, 2) of the parameter:

Flash Player 6

Description

Both user-defined and built-in functions in ActionScript are represented by Function objects,

which are instances of the Function class

Method summary for the Function class

Function.apply() Invokes the function represented by a Function object, with parameters

passed in through an array.

Function.call() Invokes the function represented by a Function object

CHAPTER 2

ActionScript Language Reference

Trang 11

thisObject The object to which myFunction is applied.

argumentsArray An array whose elements are passed to myFunction as parameters

as a comma-delimited list This is often useful when the number of parameters to be passed is not known until the script actually executes

// create a new array to pass as a parameter to apply()

var firstArray:Array = new Array(1,2,3);

theFunction.apply(null,firstArray);

// outputs: 1,2,3

// create a second array to pass as a parameter to apply()

var secondArray:Array = new Array("a", "b", "c");

Trang 12

trace("this == myObj? " + (this == myObj));

trace("arguments: " + arguments);

}

// instantiate an object

var myObj:Object = new Object();

// create arrays to pass as a parameter to apply()

var firstArray:Array = new Array(1,2,3);

var secondArray:Array = new Array("a", "b", "c");

// use apply() to set the value of this to be myObj and send firstArray theFunction.apply(myObj,firstArray);

Trang 13

thisObject An object that specifies the value of this within the function body

parameter1 A parameter to be passed to the myFunction You can specify zero or

if a function is invoked as a method of an object, within the body of the function, this is set to

myObject, as shown in the following example:

myObject.myMethod(1, 2, 3);

In some situations, you might want this to point somewhere else; for example, if a function must

be invoked as a method of an object, but is not actually stored as a method of that object:

myObject.myMethod.call(myOtherObject, 1, 2, 3);

You can pass the value null for the thisObject parameter to invoke a function as a regular function and not as a method of an object For example, the following function invocations are equivalent:

Trang 14

var obj:Object = new myObject(); myMethod.call(obj, obj);

The trace() statement displays:

this == obj? true

function get property() {

// your statements here

}

Note: To use this keyword, you must specify ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Player 6 or later in the Flash

tab of your FLA file’s Publish Settings dialog box This keyword is supported only when used in

external script files, not in scripts written in the Actions panel.

Parameters

property The word you use to refer to the property that get accesses; this value must be the

same as the value used in the corresponding set command

Returns

Nothing

Description

Keyword; permits implicit getting of properties associated with objects based on classes you have

defined in external class files Using implicit get methods lets you access properties of objects

without accessing the property directly Implicit get/set methods are syntactic shorthand for the

Object.addProperty() method in ActionScript 1

For more information, see “Implicit getter/setter methods” in Using ActionScript in Flash.

Example

In the following example, you define a Team class The Team class includes get/set methods that

let you retrieve and set properties within the class:

class Team {

var teamName:String;

var teamCode:String;

var teamPlayers:Array = new Array();

function Team(param_name:String, param_code:String) {

Trang 16

Enter the following ActionScript in a frame on the Timeline:

var giants:Team = new Team("San Fran", "SFO");

Trang 17

my_mc The instance name of a movie clip for which the property is being retrieved.

property A property of a movie clip

The following example creates a new movie clip someClip_mc and shows the alpha value

(_alpha) for the movie clip someClip_mc in the Output panel:

Trang 19

url The URL from which to obtain the document.

window An optional parameter specifying the window or HTML frame into which the

document should load You can enter the name of a specific window or select from the following

reserved target names:

• _self specifies the current frame in the current window

• _blank specifies a new window

• _parent specifies the parent of the current frame

• _top specifies the top-level frame in the current window

variables A GET or POST method for sending variables If there are no variables, omit this

parameter The GET method appends the variables to the end of the URL, and is used for small

numbers of variables The POST method sends the variables in a separate HTTP header and is

used for sending long strings of variables

Returns

Nothing

Description

Function; loads a document from a specific URL into a window or passes variables to another

application at a defined URL To test this function, make sure the file to be loaded is at the

specified location To use an absolute URL (for example, http://www.myserver.com), you need

a network connection

Example

This example loads an image into a movie clip When the image is clicked, a new URL is loaded

in a new browser window

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();

Trang 20

In the following example, getURL() is used to send an e-mail message:

var firstName:String = "Gus";

var lastName:String = "Richardson";

var firstName:String = "Gus";

var lastName:String = "Richardson";

Trang 21

Function; returns a string containing Flash Player version and platform information

The getVersion function returns information only for Flash Player 5 or later versions of

Flash Player

Example

The following examples trace the version number of the Flash Player playing the SWF file:

var flashVersion:String = getVersion();

trace(flashVersion); // output: WIN 7,0,19,0

trace($version); // output: WIN 7,0,19,0

trace(System.capabilities.version); // output: WIN 7,0,19,0

The following string is returned by the getVersion function:

WIN 7,0,19,0

This returned string indicates that the platform is Microsoft Windows, and the version number of

Flash Player is major version 7, minor version 19 (7.19)

Trang 22

A reference to the global object that holds the core ActionScript classes, such as String, Object,

Math, and Array

Description

Identifier; creates global variables, objects, or classes For example, you could create a library that

is exposed as a global ActionScript object, similar to the Math or Date object Unlike

Timeline-declared or locally Timeline-declared variables and functions, global variables and functions are visible to

every Timeline and scope in the SWF file, provided they are not obscured by identifiers with the

same names in inner scopes

Example

The following example creates a top-level function, factorial(), that is available to every

Timeline and scope in a SWF file:

Trang 23

scene An optional string specifying the name of the scene to which the playhead is sent.

frame A number representing the frame number, or a string representing the label of the frame,

to which the playhead is sent

Returns

Nothing

Description

Function; sends the playhead to the specified frame in a scene and plays from that frame If no

scene is specified, the playhead goes to the specified frame in the current scene

You can use the scene parameter only on the root Timeline, not within Timelines for movie clips

or other objects in the document

Example

In the following example, a document has two scenes: sceneOne and sceneTwo Scene one

contains a frame label on Frame 10 called newFrame and two buttons, myBtn_btn and

myOtherBtn_btn This ActionScript is placed on Frame 1, Scene 1 of the main Timeline

Trang 24

scene An optional string specifying the name of the scene to which the playhead is sent

frame A number representing the frame number, or a string representing the label of the frame,

to which the playhead is sent

Returns

Nothing

Description

Function; sends the playhead to the specified frame in a scene and stops it If no scene is specified,

the playhead is sent to the frame in the current scene

You can use the scene parameter only on the root Timeline, not within Timelines for movie clips

or other objects in the document

Example

In the following example, a document has two scenes: sceneOne and sceneTwo Scene one

contains a frame label on Frame 10 called newFrame, and two buttons, myBtn_btn and

myOtherBtn_btn This ActionScript is placed on Frame 1, Scene 1 of the main Timeline:

Trang 25

condition An expression that evaluates to true or false.

statement(s) The instructions to execute if or when the condition evaluates to true

Returns

Nothing

Description

Statement; evaluates a condition to determine the next action in a SWF file If the condition is

true, Flash runs the statements that follow the condition inside curly braces ({}) If the condition

is false, Flash skips the statements inside the curly braces and runs the statements following the

curly braces Use the if statement along with the else and else if statements to create

branching logic in your scripts

The curly braces ({}) used to enclose the block of statements to be executed by the if statement

are not necessary if only one statement will execute

Example

In the following example, the condition inside the parentheses evaluates the variable name to see if

it has the literal value “Erica” If it does, the play() function inside the curly braces runs

if(name == "Erica"){

play();

}

The following example uses an if statement to evaluate how long it takes a user to click the

submit_btn instance in a SWF file If a user clicks the button more than 10 seconds after the

SWF file plays, the condition evaluates to true and the message inside the curly braces ({})

appears in a text field that’s created at runtime (using createTextField()) If the user clicks the

button less than 10 seconds after the SWF file plays, the condition evaluates to false and a

different message appears

myClass implements interface01 [, interface02, ]

Note: To use this keyword, you must specify ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Player 6 or later in the Flash

tab of your FLA file’s Publish Settings dialog box This keyword is supported only when used in

external script files, not in scripts written in the Actions panel.

Description

Keyword; specifies that a class must define all the methods declared in the interface (or interfaces)

being implemented For more information, see “Interfaces as data types” in Using ActionScript in

Trang 28

Note: To use this keyword, you must specify ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Player 6 or later in the Flash

tab of your FLA file’s Publish Settings dialog box This statement is supported in the Actions panel as

well as in external class files.

Parameters

className The fully qualified name of a class you have defined in an external class file

packageName A directory in which you have stored related class files

Description

Keyword; lets you access classes without specifying their fully qualified names For example, if you

want to use a custom class macr.util.users.UserClass in a script, you must refer to it by its fully

qualified name or import it; if you import it, you can refer to it by the class name:

// before importing

var myUser:macr.util.users.UserClass = new macr.util.users.UserClass();

// after importing

import macr.util.users.UserClass;

var myUser:UserClass = new UserClass();

If there are several class files in the package (working_directory/macr/utils/users) that you

want to access, you can import them all in a single statement, as shown in the following example:

import macr.util.users.*;

You must issue the import statement before you try to access the imported class without fully

specifying its name

If you import a class but don’t use it in your script, the class isn’t exported as part of the SWF file

This means you can import large packages without being concerned about the size of the SWF

file; the bytecode associated with a class is included in a SWF file only if that class is actually used

The import statement applies only to the current script (frame or object) in which it’s called For

example, suppose on Frame 1 of a Flash document you import all the classes in the macr.util

package On that frame, you can reference classes in that package by their simple names:

// On Frame 1 of a FLA:

import macr.util.*;

var myFoo:foo = new foo();

On another frame script, however, you would need to reference classes in that package by their

fully qualified names (var myFoo:foo = new macr.util.foo();) or add an import statement

to the other frame that imports the classes in that package

Usage

#include "[path] filename.as"

Note: Do not place a semicolon (;) at the end of the line that contains the #include statement.

Parameters

[path] filename.as The filename and optional path for the script to add to the Actions panel

or to the current script; as is the recommended filename extension.

Returns

Nothing

Description

Compiler directive: includes the contents of the specified file, as if the commands in the file are

part of the calling script The #include directive is invoked at compile time Therefore, if you

make any changes to an external file, you must save the file and recompile any FLA files that use

it

If you use the Check Syntax button for a script that contains #include statements, the syntax of

the included files is also checked

You can use #include in FLA files and in external script files, but not in ActionScript 2.0

class files

You can specify no path, a relative path, or an absolute path for the file to be included If you

don’t specify a path, the AS file must be in one of the following locations:

• The same directory as the FLA file

• The same directory as the script containing the #include statement

• The global Include directory, which is one of the following:

Windows 2000 or Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\

Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\language\Configuration\Include

■ Windows 98: C:\Windows\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\

language\Configuration\Include

■ Macintosh OS X: Hard Drive/Users/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/

Flash MX 2004/language/Configuration/Include

The Flash MX 2004 program\language\First Run\Include directory; if you save a file here, it is

copied to the global Include directory the next time you start Flash

To specify a relative path for the AS file, use a single dot (.) to indicate the current directory, two

dots ( ) to indicate a parent directory, and forward slashes (/) to indicate subdirectories See the

following example section

CHAPTER 2

ActionScript Language Reference

Trang 31

#include 331

To specify an absolute path for the AS file, use the format supported by your platform (Macintosh

or Windows) See the following example section (This usage is not recommended because it requires the directory structure to be the same on any computer that you use to compile

the script.)

Note: If you place files in the First Run/Include directory or in the global Include directory, back up

these files If you ever need to uninstall and reinstall Flash, these directories might be deleted and overwritten.

Example

The following examples show various ways of specifying a path for a file to be included in your script:

// Note that #include statements do not end with a semicolon (;)

// AS file is in same directory as FLA file or script

// or is in the global Include directory or the First Run/Include directory

#include "init_script.as"

// AS file is in a subdirectory of one of the above directories

// The subdirectory is named "FLA_includes"

#include "FLA_includes/init_script.as"

// AS file is in a directory at the same level as one of the above directories // The directory is named "ALL_includes"

#include " /ALL_includes/init_script.as"

// AS file is specified by an absolute path in Windows

// Note use of forward slashes, not backslashes

#include "C:/Flash_scripts/init_script.as"

// AS file is specified by an absolute path on Macintosh

#include "Mac HD:Flash_scripts:init_script.as"

Constant; specifies the IEEE-754 value representing positive infinity The value of this constant is

the same as Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY

CHAPTER 2

Trang 33

Compiler directive; indicates the beginning of a block of initialization actions When multiple

clips are initialized at the same time, you can use the order parameter to specify which

initialization occurs first Initialization actions execute when a movie clip symbol is defined If the

movie clip is an exported symbol, the initialization actions execute before the actions on Frame 1

of the SWF file Otherwise, they execute immediately before the frame actions of the frame that

contains the first instance of the associated movie clip symbol

Initialization actions execute only once when a SWF file plays; use them for one-time

initializations, such as class definition and registration

Example

In the following example, ActionScript is placed on Frame 1 inside a movie clip instance

A variables.txt text file is placed in the same directory

Trang 34

object An ActionScript object.

class A reference to an ActionScript constructor function, such as String or Date

Returns

If object is an instance of class, instanceof returns true; false otherwise Also, _global

instanceof Object returns false

Description

Operator; determines whether an object belongs to a specified class Tests whether object is an

instance of class

The instanceof operator does not convert primitive types to wrapper objects For example, the

following code returns true:

new String("Hello") instanceof String;

The following code returns false:

"Hello" instanceof String;

Example

In the following example, a for loop is used to loop through the SWF file and trace only

TextInput component instances The instance names appear in the output

for (var i in this) {

if (this[i] instanceof mx.controls.TextInput) {

trace("Instance \""+i+"\" is a TextInput component instance.");

Trang 35

interface InterfaceName [extends InterfaceName ] {}

Note: To use this keyword, you must specify ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Player 6 or later in the Flash

tab of your FLA file’s Publish Settings dialog box This keyword is supported only when used in

external script files, not in scripts written in the Actions panel.

Description

Keyword; defines an interface An interface is similar to a class, with the following

important differences:

• Interfaces contain only declarations of methods, not their implementation That is, every class

that implements an interface must provide an implementation for each method declared in

the interface

• Only public members are allowed in an interface definition; instance and class members are

not permitted

• The get and set statements are not allowed in interface definitions

For more information, see “Creating and using interfaces” in Using ActionScript in Flash.

Example

The following example shows several ways to define and implement interfaces:

(in top-level package as files Ia, B, C, Ib, D, Ic, E)

// filename Ia.as

interface Ia

{

function k():Number; // method declaration only

function n(x:Number):Number; // without implementation

}

// filename B.as

class B implements Ia

{

function k():Number {return 25;}

function n(x:Number):Number {return x+5;}

}

// external script or Actions panel

var mvar:B = new B();

function k():Number {return 25;}

} // error: class must implement all interface methods

function k():Number {return 15;}

function n(x:Number):Number {return x*x;} function o():Void {trace("o");}

intrinsic class className [ extends superClass ]

[ implements interfaceName [, interfaceName ] ]

{

// class definition here

}

Note: To use this keyword, you must specify ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Player 6 or later in the Flash

tab of your FLA file’s Publish Settings dialog box This keyword is supported only when used in

external script files, not in scripts written in the Actions panel.

Description

Keyword; allows compile-time type checking of previously defined classes Flash uses intrinsic

class declarations to enable compile-time type checking of built-in classes such as Array, Object,

and String This keyword indicates to the compiler that no function implementation is required,

and that no bytecode should be generated for it

The intrinsic keyword can also be used with variable and function declarations Flash uses this

keyword in the topLevel.as file to enable compile-time type checking for global functions and

properties

The intrinsic keyword was created specifically to enable compile-time type checking for

built-in classes and objects, and global variables and functions This keyword was not meant for

general purpose use, but may be of some value to developers seeking to enable compile-time type

checking with previously defined classes, especially if the classes are defined using

ActionScript 1.0

Example

The following example shows how to enable compile-time file checking for a previously defined

ActionScript 1.0 class The code will generate a compile-time error because the call

myCircle.setRadius() sends a String value as a parameter instead of a Number value You can

avoid the error by changing the parameter to a Number value (for example, by changing "10"

to 10)
