I've dynamically created a whole bunch of movieclips.
I've given each clip a name based on a variable number:
mc.name = "mc"+i;
I've also use addChild to add a couple of dynamic text fields to each movieClip, named myText1 and myText2.[code]...
i made thumbnails dynamically and i waana access it's child movieclip
var totalThumbs:Array=new Array()
var ThumbMC:MovieClip()
var childThumb:MovieClip()

I have a load of objects with arrays in them.
var tabData0: Object = new Object();
tabData0.tab1 = new Object();
tabData0.tab1.names = new Array();
[Code]....
I want to combine this output with a few more to refer to my object / array. The remoteHolder contains the value I need to know which object (tabData0, tabData1, etc) to retrieve the info from.
tabHolder['btn' + i].titleHolder.titleField.htmlText = all['tab' + tab].names[(i-1)];
But get this:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property tab1 not found on String and there is no default value.
Here's my scenerio: in my product info MC, user can select from 4 categories which gotoAndStop a nested MC. Each of the 4 categories has 5 hit areas on an "imagemap". The problem that I'm running into is that on each of those hit areas (mc's), I have actionscript - so that's 5 x 4 of essentially the same actionscript. Only difference is text information and _x & _y co-ord's (code is for caption/images boxes) Could I store all that data in an array in the product info MC rather than having 20 blocks of actionscript??

View 1 RepliesI've got a dozen movie clips on stage, each with 3 children, and each of those have 8 children, as example named u01-u08.
Is it possible to access u01 directly without the parent names? like a wildcard? like the xml way of getting to nodes with a .. ?
sort of like: stage..u01.alpha = .5;
I am trying to add a child in a movie clip and perform basic operations on the child but I cannot get access to the child.
It loads the child to the movieclip "FLine1MC" but it says FLine1MC.ClipArt1 does not exist when I try to change the x location.
function AddArt1(evt:MouseEvent): void {
var ClipArt1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/mypic.gif");
var ClipArt1:Loader = new Loader();
ClipArt1.load(ClipArt1Request);
FLine1MC.addChild(ClipArt1);
FLine1MC.ClipArt1.x = 550;
}
Anybody know what's my error?
By that token, is there a way we can check the exact path of an object?
I am developing a shopping cart for my web store. What I am trying to do is initially a store front is rendered where a user selects the products and adds them to a shopping cart. The "cart" is a vector that holds all of the products selected. The user is then sent to a review page where he/she can review their order. It is then communicated to a PHP page for the final checkout and what not.[code]...

I have written this little script, as i want to remove some of the text fields that are currently contained within the Display Objec, however it does not like to see the TextField as a varaible name. How would i convert the object from an array to become a textfield that can be removed, after being added through

View 1 Repliesadd a child to each movieclip in the array below?I want the code in bold to increment with the wObj movieclips.
e.g.
wObj1 contains a loader called wObjIcon1 loading an image from wIconURL1
wObj2 contains a loader called wObjIcon2 loading an image from wIconURL2
..and so on.
Code:

regarding adding multiple childs to an array these childs are added using timer after a time interval.actually there two classes and child of both classes are added to stage one through timer as i described and other through keyboard event. now is it possible to do this if yes than how?? and is it possible to apply hittest object between these two array.

I've created a card (that extends movieclip) in flash and after that I've created an array and pushed some cards inside of it. The name of the mcs is already set, but now, I want to add them to the stage and set their x and y position.
Code: Select allvar test:Array = new Array();
var testMC1:Card = new Card();
var testMC2:Card = new Card();
[Code].....
How can I access the property x of this card? The next code is wrong, of course, but it gives the idea of what I need...
Code: Select alltest[1].x = 100
// or
test[card3.x] = 100;
I have an xml say in following format[code]...
What I should do is parse an xml and from its node name create object property and then create an object array based on those property.
Is there a way for the child of a movieclip object to not inherit the paren'ts properties? Because I scaled down the parent movieclip height and width and I'm loading external images into the parent movieclip and images are also scaled as well so I'm wondering if there is a way for it not to inherit the properties but remain inside the parent?
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip and in it/on it I have a few layers. 1 layer is for buildings and 1 layer is for props.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering - lets say I have a bunch of code on the main stage and then an array variable located inside of a movieclip that's in my library. There is a button on the main stage that when clicked will load the library movieclip containing the array. Is it possible to access the array variable that's in the movieclip from the main stage even if its not on the stage from the get go?
I know this would probably be much easier to do this using classes and setting global variables, but was wondering if its possible without taking that approach.
I'm using an onLoad function (importing variables from a text file) and I'm creating arrays within a for loop in the onLoad function.
I'm using something like this:
Code:
this["dvdAry" + i] = this[indexAry[i]].split("##");
So say the first array is called dvdAry0 .
How can I access that Array from a function? Please note the function, the onLoad function and the arrays are all being created on the same timeline.I've tried tracing the array dvdAry0 from the function after the array is created in the onLoad function, but it comes up as undefined. Is the array created on the object that I'm using onLoad on?I'm using a loadVars Object called loadDVDsText.
I am making a profile sort of thing, basically what happens is: You start the program... it loops, and generates 500 text fields, it stores them in an array called profile_name[]; it names them "Profile + (i+1) (i being the var used in the loop). Changes the colour to yellow, changes the size to 13. Removes the border from it and makes it unselectable (the text). It then converts the text into a movie clip (as if you made a dynamic text area, on the stage, and clicked it, and pressed f8, and converted to mc). It stores that in an array called profile_mcs[]. I need a way to access the text inside the movie clip in both they're arrays...
Example
If you go to your flash stage, make some dynamic text, call it "ptxt1", you make it unselectable, remove any border if it has one...
you name the text "test",
you select it, press f8, then convert to a movie clip called "test_text"
you name it "pbtn1" (the instance name I mean, when I say name)
If you go to the first frame of your main timeline and press f9 (action script section)
type
pbtn1.test.text = "NEW TEXT", it will name the text "test" inside the mc "pbtn1" to NEW TEXT...
However, if you store them into an array (both text and mc) you can no longer reference them like this:
MyMC_Array[0].MYText_Array[0].text = "NEW TEXT",
It doesn't show up, and making 500 if statements is to much (I think my problem may be when I traced my dynamic text inside the movie clip (that I've made on the stage) it appears as undefined.
Code:
var profile_name:Array (my text var) = [ptxt1, ptxt2, ptxt3, etc..];
I've tried doing
Code:
var profile_name:Array = [pbtn1.ptxt1, pbtn2.ptxt2]; etc..
None works,

I am trying to use two buttons in an array that use the same information in that array, so I'm trying to lump them together so I don't have to write them separately. This is what I've come up with, which doesn't work. One of the buttons works, but the other one doesn't:
var arrNavigation:Array = [{button:(n1_mcButton, n2_mcButton), page:bucktown, popup:popUp1, imgNumber:9},
n1_McButton and n2_McButton are two different buttons, but all the other information is the same.Is it possible to write this more efficiently than listing the buttons out separately?]
I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine
