eval in animate cc

[mohdijmal]

hi, i'm looking for an answer why the static code is working, not dynamically as below.

this.mcfont1.txt.text  ===> there's a dynamic text inside a movieclip

///////////

var arr = ["A", "R", "U", "S", "E", "L", "E", "K", "T", "R", "I", "K", r(), r(), r()];

function r() {

var chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ";

return chars.substr(Math.floor(Math.random() * 62), 1);

}

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

//this["mcfont" + i].txt.text = arr;  <-----not working

this.mcfont1.txt.text = arr; <-----working

}

////////////////////////

thank you in advance

there's no mcfont0 or mcfont2 or...

use the trace function to debug.

[mohdijmal]

hahaha thanks alot ...

forgot there's no mcfont0

this["mcfont" + (i+1)].txt.text = arr;<----this worked

alert(arr);

hahahaha...

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ<----also been corrected

thanks alot everyone!

you're welcome.

The <----- parts would break the code, but I imagine you don't really have those in there. It mostly seems to work, though I've never used function calls inside an array before.

Could it be your dyslexic code? What happens in you use * 26 instead of * 62? Also, the alphabet is wrong:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ

instead of:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Your thread title mentions "eval". There is no "eval" anywhere in your code. So I don't know what you're asking.

But, your r() function includes "U" twice, and attempts to select characters up to position 62, even though the string only has 27 characters. Assuming you just want to return random uppercase letters, the entire thing can be replaced with:

function r() {

    return String.fromCharCode(65 + Math.random() * 26);

}

If it AS3, make sure the font is embedded.

[mohdijmal]

by the way i'm testing this on html canvas animate cc

Wait... surely he's aware that his not-working code is attempting to assign to this.mcfont0.

[Colin Holgate]

That's an assumption on our part. His example of mcfont1 working does suggest that possibility, but maybe he does have an mcfont0 on his stage.

[mohdijmal]

this seems running fine

////////////////////////////////

function r() {

    var chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

    return chars.substr(Math.floor(Math.random() * 26), 1);

    //return String.chars(65 + Math.random() * 26);

}

var arr = ["A", "R", "U", "S", "E", "L", "E", "K", "T", "R", "I", "K", r(), r(), r()];

alert("this is shit" + arr);

//alert(arr.length)

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

    this["mcfont" + (i+1)].txt.text = arr;

    alert(arr);

    //this.mcfont1.txt.text = arr;

}
