Good afternoon group. I have an obscure problem regarding using the
eval command in Flash 5 vs. Flash MX. I am using a script that was
written by someone else to create a dynamic Flash quiz using XML. The
movie loads 2 files using the include command. One of the files is
throwing an error when I publish the movie. Here is the relevant code:
...
XMLnode.prototype.setVars = function (prevObj) {
if (this.hasChildNodes() && this.firstChild.nodeType == 1) {
if (prevObj == null) {
if (eval(this.nodeName) == null) {
//eval(this.nodeName) = new Array(new
Object());
new Array(new
Object(eval(this.nodeName)));
} else {
eval(this.nodeName).push(new Object());
}
} else {
if (prevObj[this.nodeName] == null) {
prevObj[this.nodeName] = new Array(new
Object());
} else {
prevObj[this.nodeName].push(new
Object());
}
}
...
Apparently Flash 5 doesn't like this line:
eval(this.nodeName) = new Array(new Object()); ...It says that the left
side of the equation must be a variable name.
I've tried re-writing it like this:
new Array(new Object(eval(this.nodeName))); ... and it compiles, but the
movie doesn't run properly
I search extensively for the proper code for this situation to no avail.
I don't know enough about the differences between Flash 5 Actionscript
and Flash MX Actionscript. Any assistance would be appreciated.
