targetSetProperty and targetGetProperty methods

[luca orru]

Hi to all, i've a problem...
I can't find a way to specify the target, the property and the value in targetGet and SetProperty.
If I have a button (or a movie) with a instance name "_pippo" in the main (_root) scene, I expect to write something like:

FlashPlayer.targetSetProperty("_root._pippo","_vis ible",0);

but I'm not able to set anything with this code.
thanks in advance

...Hum...

i remember i tryed this once but never get any valuable answer from swfkit.
A way thought is to use the SetVariable instead.
1°) create a kind of MC manager events (in the /on enter frame/ behaviour ):
if (anMCvar==1) bla...bla
else if (anMCvar==2) bla...bla
and so on...
2°) Within the FFscript tell to set the good value depending on what you want:
bla...bla
FlashPlayer.SetVariable("TheMCHandler.anMCvar",1)
../..

But, Be aware of that: Create only one MC manager events !

I've received this e-mail from swfkit support team:
" The second parameter of the "targetSetProperty" methoid must be an integer.


targetSetProperty

X POSITION (_x) 0
Y POSITION (_y) 1
X SCALE 2
Y SCALE 3
CURRENTFRAME 4
TOTALFRAMES 5
ALPHA 6
VISIBILITY 7
WIDTH 8
HEIGHT 9
ROTATION 10
TARGET 11
FRAMESLOADED 12
NAME 13
DROPTARGET 14
URL(_url) 15


Use FlashPlayer.targetSetProperty("_root._pippo", 7, 0) instead please;"

But i'm still not able to set properties but only get these values.
Any more suggestions???

Thanks in advance.

p.s. in the meanwhile i'm implementing the tip proposed by Madcha:
Thank you!

(re)...Hum...

FlashPlayer.targetSetProperty("_root._pippo", 7, 0) instead please;

Never seen that anywhere in the help !
(Maybe i'm just too blind 8) )

...could have save me some time.... >

luca orru, have you try:

FlashPlayer.targetSetProperty("_root._pippo", 7, false)
or FlashPlayer.targetSetProperty("_root._pippo", 7, "false") (it sounds stupid but who ever knows ?

We've made efforts to improve it. Things will be changed in SWFKit 2.0.
