ActionScript 2.0 :: Any Way To Assign Events To Every Item In MovieClip?
Dec 16, 2004
I'm currently just testing a few items in Flash. While I'm in this early stage, it'd be quite handy for this particular project if there were a way to assign events to every item in a certain MC (or on _root).
Here's what I've done thus far:
Code:
for (movieClip in _root) {
movieClip.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2); };
movieClip.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....
If I trace I can clearly see the instance names of the MCs (which means it works -- sort of), but no matter what I've tried I can't get the events to bind to the on-stage MCs.

I've got an XML document that contains names and images for an image gallery, with a menu on the main page, allowing people to click the menu item to display the corresponding image and name.
[AS]
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
thename[i] = items[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
image[i] = items[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
[code]...
I need to be able to assign each of these items a number. This COULD be done by adding a line to the XML doc with a number, then adding an extra line to the ActionScript like this: number[i] = items[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.NodeValue; The trouble is, it is intended that the XML document will be updated regularly, with new items being added in-between exisiting items, therefore, if I had item number 1, followed by item number 2, then wanted to add an extra item after 1, I'd have to call it 2, then rename the existing 2 to 3, and so on. What I need to do is somehow dynamically give each item a number in Flash as the XML is loaded so number[i] = ?(it needs to be number[i] because [i] is used later to refer to items)

I'm working on involving the Flash component TileList.
Essentially, I want Flash to assign a variable to each item in the TileList, so that when a user clicks on the item, the relevant product page is displayed.

I am new to AS3 and, I am just trying some simple(maybe) functions. Is it possible to assign values to a movie clip? I have three buttons and I want each one to have a value (1, 2, and 3). I tried
var buttonOne = 1 and I get this error "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property buttonMode on Number."
How do I assign a value to a movieClip(if possible)?

for (var j:Number = 0; j<myObj.rows; j++) {
var clip:String="clip"+j
_root.re1.reel1.clip.loadMovie("images/jackpot/"+display_array[j*5]+".jpg");}
This is my for loop and my movieclip path is _root.re1.reel1.clip0 to _root.re1.reel1.clip3
So how can assign clip no?

When I add a filter (for example drop shadow) to my movieclip on the stage (using the Flash GUI), all its children automatically has applied the filter.
Is it this a correct behavior ? How can assign the filter only to the parent movieclip?

I have a problem that should have a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out. Basically I need to assign a movieclip a number value to that it will carry with it so I can later compare it to the number value of another movieclip.
Here is the snippet of my class code. I got a loop that creates a new object and adds it to the stage and then positions it. It all works accept for when I try to assign the i value to _dragHead.HIT (HIT is not a movieclip nested within the _dragHead object by the way). I just want each newly added movieclip to carry a unique number value so how would I achieve this?
ActionScript Code:
private function createTerms():void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < termsArr.length; i++)

I just completed the carousel menu tutorials 1 and 2, and I'd like to adapt the menu for my own use. I want to have each button go to a different URL when clicked, and I've assigned a URL to each button in my XML document under the name "URLREF" (because flash would assume URL wasn't an identifier.How can I tell flash (Using CS3 and AS2) to read the URLREF values for each button, and then tell it to open those URLs in a new window when their buttons are clicked? (note - The getURL should, as far as I'm aware, be in the function "released," where my "tooltext" trace is.)Here's my actionscript: (and XML a little further down.)
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 300;[code]................

After learning about classes and stuff, I've successfully create a movieclip with XML reading an all thru the use of classes. My problem is when I move to different frames, the movieclip I made stays there blocking whatever there is in the other frame.
Anyway I can hide all those created movieclips when I got to different frame? Maybe by assigning it to a frame/layer maybe?
Just in case you're wondering, I create the movieclip using the following code:
Code:
var header:blogHeader = new blogHeader();
...
this.addChild(header);

It wont work and I get the error:

Sure this will be a simple fix, and I'm just not seeing the wood for the trees. I have a movie with a movieclip called scroller_mov. Inside it are 15 movieclips named pic1 thru pic15.
My code is on one frame, on the same level as scroller_mov. Just want to dynamically assign a click action to the pic1 - pic15 movieclips! have tried hardcoded links and dynamic, but no joy! Everything else works fine.

In Flash Professional, I have a MovieClip and that clip has children. Let's say the parent clip is a night sky and the children are different instances of a star MovieClip that animates in a loop. This whole thing compiles down to a NightSky.swc which I use in Flash Builder as part of a larger project.
In Flash Pro, I position the child clips with a high level of precision. From there, I want to assign properties to these "stars." Say, I want to assign "galaxyId" and "isRedGiant" but (and this is key) I want to edit those properties in Flash Professional and have those value accessible in Flex.[code]...

I create various movieClips with TextFields in them using the following function.
function AddLabel(Label,L) // create a MovieClip with a Text Field. {
obj = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc" + L,L);
var tf = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.size = 12;
[Code] ....
Lets say that I use the above function with the following statement:
JimMC = AddLabel("JimVision",1);
Then I try to assign a string to the above movieClip with some embedded html like so:
JimMC.txt.htmlText = "This is my test < a href='[URL]'>link</ a>.";
When I try to run the above the results come out blank. When I list my variables I do see that my TextField is being assign the text and html code. What I also notice is that the textWidth and textHeight value become zero. Why my results are blank? Why do the textWidth and textHeight values become zero?

The movie I'm creating will have many movie clips on each frame and each will have a mouseover tooltip.I have the code set so that I can mouseover a defined movie clip and I properly get the tooltip.[code]This works, where n1 is the instanced name of the movie clip.What I want is to be able to define a variable "whichNav" that will dynamically change to a movie clip instanced name when I mouse over that movie clip, then I can replace "n1" in the above code with "whichNav" and not have to remake the above code for every movie clip in the frame.For example, I could have movie clips instanced as n1, n2, n3, n4... ect. I want a variable that will track which movie clip I have my mouse over, and input that variable into the above code to create the tool tip for each movie clip.

var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
trace("Stamps Target: "+myTargetName);
if (evt.target.dropTarget != null && evt.target.dropTarget == myTarget) {
// do what ever here

I have what I think should be a very simple problem. I have an array and can access an element of it like this:
var test = finalArray[0];
Will be a number between 1 and 7
say this will trace a number.No there is a movieclip on the root of stage whose name is a letter (always the same, say "R") and whatever the number is. I'm trying to get this movieclip to gotoAndStop at the frame corresponding to the number that is test. However this isn't working:
"R"+[test as MovieClip.gotoAndStop(test)];
