ActionScript 2.0 :: Communication - Controlling The Appearance Of A Radio Button After It's Selected
Feb 13, 2012I've got a relatively simple problem with controlling the appearance of a radio button after it's selected. I'm using Flash CS5.5 and AS2. I've got a radio button set up as a two-frame mc, the first frame labeled "on", the second "off". When put on the stage with this code on it, it functions properly:
onClipEvent (load) {
answer = false;
}
Whenever I add additional code to the radio button mc (in this instance, telling an invisible mc in the same frame to gotoAndStop (2)), the radio button stops changing appearance. I've been using the syntax
on (press) {
tellTarget ("_root.OtherMC.OtherMC_2") {
gotoAndStop (2);
Dynamic Text Loaded From .txt Controlling Movie Clip?
Aug 26, 2009Basically when loading dynamic text... the .txt will have a simple yes or no inside of it... nothing more nothing less.I've been trying all morning to get a movie clip to begin playing if the value is "yes", and to NOT play if the value is "no"
Basically i have a movie clip on the main time line named WHM. and im loading a dynamic text file into a dynamic text field named player1whm.
I want to be able to change the text file to yes or no on a whim, and if the value is equal to yes... i want the movie clip to begin playing as soon as it loads that value into the box. If it says no then i want that movie clip to continue doing nothing.I have already been successful at getting yes or no to load into the dynamic text box... i just cant seem to get it to control the movie clip.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Movieclip With Value In Dynamic Text Field
Jan 29, 2009I have a movieclip called pointer.mc and this movieclip has only two frames, on the first one the arrow points up and I have a stop(); action on this so it does not jump to the next frame which has the arrow pointing down and this frame also has a stop(); action on it.Then I have a dynamic text field with an instance name of tiderise which is calling a variable from a seperate .txt file called tiderise.txt and the variable is &rise= . Now I have programmed the .txt file to only supply two variables either "up" or "down" and these change periodically during the day. (I am actually making an animated tide chart if you haven't guessed already)
What I want is to get some coding that will control the movieclip pointer.mc between frame 1 and frame 2 depending on the value in the dynamic text field with an instance name of "tiderise" that can only return the value's of "up" or "down".I have spent already about 2 hours trying to figure this out with no luck, I only seem to be able to control other dynamic text fields with values from another dynamic text field, but cannot seem to get this to work on a movieclip.

Aug 27, 2006The menu items are created dynamic out of empty movieclips and have the name movie + x. Now I'm trying to create a method that resets al the other movieclips to their original size and colour when one is pressed. The first problem is to adress the other ones. Even if I try to put the following in the script: movie[x]._alpha = 0; nothing happens..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling The Dynamic Creations?
May 15, 2007I have this code:
Code:
for (i =0; i < txB_NumberOf; i++){
var TextNames:Array = new Array;
TextNames[i] = "text_txt" + i
_root.createTextField(TextNames[i], i, 0, 0, 300, 100);
text_txt1.text = "test text;
;
The code creates a number of text fields based on the number in the variable "txB_NumberOf" each text box gets named text_txt0, text_txt1, text_txt2, text_txt3 etc by storing the names in an array called TextNames and using it as the name field in the createTextField part.
The bit in bold I want to be the name of the newly created Textfield each time through the loop. So instead of just one text box having "test text" in it each textbox gets it.I read somewhere that ... this[TextNames[i]].text = "test text" would work but it doesn't. I've tried everything else I could think of without any luck.

it isnt too hard to see what I'm trying to do. The above code plops 5 movieclips on the stage, their size dictated by the 'tlength' value, and the next step is to get them moving. Ultimately I'd like these MCs to shift out from the centre of the screen and vary in size and distance depending on the data that is applied to them, but running the current code throws this error; TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Depth And Scale In Dynamic Constructs
Jan 26, 2009I'm just starting to program in AS3 and use it in frames on the main timeline vs OOP. Can you point me at some reference that would cover:-
1) If it is possible to scale a dynamically constructed object over a few frames in the time-line. I draw an object/shape on frame 10 and scale it up from frame 10 to frame 20, for example.
2) If I can control the depth of the dynamically constructed object. I draw an object on frame 10 and on frames 11 through 20 I have some line already drawn on another layer that I want to appear above or below the dynamically drawn shape. I can easily do both of these in AS1 but don't seem to see similar constructs in AS3?

Xml :: Get Last Appearance Of A Node?
Apr 1, 2012Given
<nodeList>
<crazyNode>Data to be overwrited</crazyNode>
<simpleNode>Normal data</simpleNode>
<crazyNode>Actual data</crazyNode>[code]......
I want to get the last crazyNode (the one which contains Actual data).I know how to access the first node, for example:
nodeList.crazyNode[0]
And I guess a solution would be
nodeList.crazyNode[nodeList.crazyNode.length() - 1]
But for some reason I don't like doing that, too verbose and maybe there's a method more elegant.
Initial Appearance Of FLVPlayback?
May 29, 2009I'm using FLVPlayback to display a flv in a swf embedded in html. Autoplay = false, wmode = transparent / windowless. I've got it working (not yet set up the way I'd like, but that's another issue), but the way the flv displays when the page loads is a problem. The controls skin is clearly visible, but the movie frame displays as a white box on a white page, barely visible except for a faint outline.
I guess the white screen simply represents the first frame of the flv. Ideally I'd like to see either a black box or the first frame with meaningful content. Is there any way (say with ActionScript) to advance and stop the flv to a particular frame? Or is there some other way to not see a white box here?
See attached screen grab detail. If it helps, here's my html.
