AS to SFWKit Function call parameters

[sbick]

Is there a way to pass parameters into a SWFKit function when it is called by actionScript? This way each call to a function contains it own unique set of parameters and not shared with other calls to the same function.

Here's the details:

I have a script in SWFKit that writes event data to a text file.

Once an event is triggered in Flash, I set _root level variables (that are FlashPlayer.bindData'ed) with the details of the event and call the SWFKit script using fsCommand("FFish_Run","writeEventData").

Everything works great until there are multiple events that get triggered without much of a delay. It appears that the bindData'ed variables are set with new event data before the 1st event is written. So, I end up with the second event written twice (confirmed by using a variable to store unique eventIDs).

I tried using a multidimensional array to .push() and .shiift() the data for SWFKit to retrieve but I'm have a hard time with using multidimensional arrays in SFWKit.

For what it's worth... here's my code. Notice that in userdata.txt the #7 eventID is entered twice instead of recording #6:

Let me know if anyone has a better way to do this....

Thanks in advance!

In Flash:

_global.writeEvent = function(vCode, vData1, vData2) {
if (_root.gEventID == undefined) {
_root.gEventID = 1;
} else {
_root.gEventID++;
}
var vDate = new Date();
_root.gDateTime = vDate.getHours()+":"+vDate.getMinutes()+":"+vDate. getSeconds();
_root.gDateText = vDate.getMonth()+"/"+vDate.getDate()+"/"+(vDate.getYear()+1900)+" "+_root.gDateTime;
_root.gCode = vCode;
_root.gData1 = vData1;
_root.gData2 = vData2;
_root.gDate = vDate.toString();
fscommand("FFish_Run", "writeEventData");
};


In SWFKit:

//Initialize
setUpFileIO();
return true;

function setUpFileIO() {
vFlashPlayObj = new FlashPlayer;
vFlashPlayObj.bindData("_root.gDateText","_root.gD ateTime","_root.gCode","_root.gDate","_root.gCode" , "_root.gData1", "_root.gData2", "_root.gEventID");
vFileStreamObj = new FileStream("c:/userData.txt", "a+");
return true;
}

//writeEventData
var vDelim = "~"
vFlashPlayObj.updateData(true);
var vTextString = new String("");
vTextString = vFlashPlayObj._root.gEventID + vDelim;
vTextString = vTextString + vFlashPlayObj._root.gDateText + vDelim;
vTextString = vTextString + vFlashPlayObj._root.gCode + vDelim ;
vTextString = vTextString + vFlashPlayObj._root.gData1 + vDelim ;
vTextString = vTextString + vFlashPlayObj._root.gData2;
vFileStreamObj.writeLine(vTextString);

Another way:

In flash:

_global.writeEvent = function(vCode, vData1, vData2)
{ 
 if (_root.gEventID == undefined) 
 { 
     _root.gEventID = 1; 
 } else 
 { 
 _root.gEventID++; 
 } 
 
 var tmp = vCode + "||" + vData1 + "||" + vData2 + "||" + _root.gEventID;
 fscommand("ffish_eval", "writeData('" + tmp + "')");
 
};

In SWFKit:

//Initialize 

setUpFileIO(); 
return true; 
 
function setUpFileIO() { 
 vFileStreamObj = new FileStream("c:/userData.txt", "a+"); 
 return true; 
} 

function writeData(msg)
{
   var vDelim = "~" 
   
   myarray = msg.split("||");

   gCode = myarray[0];
   gData1 = myarray[1];
   gData2 = myarray[2];
   gEventID = myarray[3];

    var vDate = new Date(); 
    gDateTime = vDate.getHours()+":"+vDate.getMinutes()+":"+vDate.getSeconds(); 
    gDateText = vDate.getMonth()+"/"+vDate.getDate()+"/"+(vDate.getYear()+1900)+" "+gDateTime;    
   
   vTextString = gEventID + vDelim;
   vTextString += gDateText + vDelim; 
   vTextString += gCode + vDelim ; 
   vTextString += gData1 + vDelim ; 
   vTextString += gData2; 

   vFileStreamObj.writeLine(vTextString);    
}
