ActionScript 2.0 :: Array With MovieClips And Listeners
Jul 8, 2010
I've created a code to add a custom cursor and drag movieclips. It works fine for one moviclip. But I would like to create a function to add the drag function with custom cursor to any movieClip that i add to an array. My first try has problems cause I need to create a different listener name to each movieClip.
cMouse = CustomMouse;
mystring:FunctionParameters = movieClipsNames;
mouseListener => Needs to duplicate (i guess);
Code:
function arrastar (mystring) {
arrasta = false;
cMouse._x = _xmouse;
cMouse._y = _ymouse;
clips_array = new Array();
[Code] .....
I've attached my original working code to 1 movieclip with a customCursor onRollOver

im learning as3 and am trying to understand arrays so could an array be used in this situation i have 5 buttons which all need a ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and CLICK mouse event is it easier to put all the buttons in an array and then use the array identifier to add the even listeners? or is there another way to do this? p.s if anyone can give me a few basic usages of arrays that you use in your experience. where to use arrays too

I have three movie clips, mc_1 should delete mc_2 and and mc_3 should delete mc_1. I can get mc_1 to delete mc_2 but I can't get mc_3 to delete mc_1. I am getting a trace in the output window confirming both. How do I go about doing it?

I'm creating a class for a game, and I'm having a problem removing event listeners from movieclips in that class.In the class file I have an enterFrame event which puts the movieclips into motion - I want to remove that event listener when the movieclip is removed from the stage.I made the function 'public' in the class file and tried to target it as follows (animal is the movieclip)animal.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animal.onEnterFrameHandler)

I have two movie clips. The child movieclip is a button with rollover events which is nested inside the parent. I would like the parent to also have rollover events, but I understand that this is not possible in flash. I am familiar with two workarounds: event bubbling/delegation and the event listeners.

Flash CS3, actionscript 2.0. I have a timeline animation that I am trying to convert to actionscript. Basically there are 8 movieclips that I have added to the timeline that fade in at different times. I have the code for each of the tweens figured out
(var laugh:Tween = new Tween(laugh_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 17, false)
But I need one to start one, then when its finished, go to the next one without using go to and play.

I have a button that is a movie clip that is set up with animations triggered with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners. The glitch is that once the mouse is over the button ... each ensuing pixel that the mouse is moved, loops the animation again. That probably didn't make a whole lot of sense, so I posted the file on my test site [URL]. You have to drag your mouse slowly across the button to see this. The bottom part of the button works as I'd expect. When you roll over the text at the bottom of the button, everything functions as it should. The looping problem starts when you roll over the image portion of the button. For some reason it considers each consecutive pixel rolled over to be a new event and consequently triggers the "over" animation again.
The code I have is below. I've commented out the MOUSE_OUT function for now. There is also a screenshot at the above link of my Layers palette for the button clip in question. I put a "stop" label at each frame that has an action so you see the actions used.
oneBedButton_mc.buttonMode = true;
oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overEffect);
//oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outEffect);
function overEffect (e:MouseEvent) {
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("over");}
function outEffect (e:MouseEvent) {
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");}

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
Code: Select allvar iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;
iXML.onLoad = init;
iXML.load("http://localhost:8888/products.php?p=Shortboards");

I'd like to add event listeners to movieclips (already on the stage), whose names are called from an array one by one, into a for loop.
Code:
// there are 4 movielcips on the stage with name a1 - a4.
// create array
var Bro:Array = ["a1","a2","a3","a4"];
// for loop
for ( var i:Number = 0; i < 4; i++) {
// Add event listener to array values to buttons.
Bro[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, roll, false, 0, true);
//execute this function on rollover
function roll() {
trace("why wont my arrays work in for loops");
}}

If I have 5 frames and each contanins a MovieClip on stage that includes it's class, listeners, functions etc.If I go from one frame to another,should I clean everything up?

I've created a drop down list and populated it with dynamic buttons. (I made a DropDown_btn class with a dynamic text field in it and then filled the button text from an xml file). On rollover I tint the button blue and then set the tint back to black on rollout. When you click on the button I'd like it to stay blue until a different button is clicked.
I thought on CLICK I'd run a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
function removeRollover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.transform.colorTransform=c;
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
}
...and then I need to addEventListeners back to any button that doesn't have them and set that button back to black. I could do this by looping through an array of the buttons but I can't figure out how to access them as objects.
I also gave them each a property of "buttonValue" when I loaded them so I can access event.currentTarget.buttonValue (which in this case is a number from 1-5) but once again I can't figure out how I might leverage this information.

I have a loop which creates a bunch of movieclips and sets them on the stage.As I create each one I attatch an eventListener to it.My problem is that when the eventListener fires, the function it calls always works on the first mc added to the stage, not the one that fired the listener.How do I fix this?Here's a bit of the code:
Code: Select allfor (var i:int=0;i<numOfItems;i++) {
item = new Item();

I'm trying to remove all the event listeners from nextBtn. the names of all the possable callback functions are stored in mdpArray. I want to use the for loop to remove all the listeners from nextBtn. the error message says
cannot convert "mdp1_1" to Function
How can i make this work.
Code:
var mdpArray:Array = ["mdp1_1","mdp1_2","mdp1_3","mdp1_4","mdp1_5"];
private function clearEvents(nextBtn):void{
var _nextBtn = nextBtn;
for(var i:Number = 0; i<mdpArray.length; i++){ _nextBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mdpArray[i]);
}
}

I am using CS3 set to AS3. On frame one I have 120 buttons ( yes, one hundred twenty buttons), unfortunately I have tried to reduce this but to no avail. Anyway, I know I can put these into an array to take away some of the coding. but my question is can I also use a integer?
My button are named Btn1 - Btn120. I would want to use the array and integer for simple things such as event listeners for roll over, click, roll out, and a couple of basic if statements. All of the buttons are movie clips.For some other more detailed functions I know I could still call the button name ( at least I think I should still be able to), but wanted to make sure.

I am trying to create a drag and drop activity, and I would like to use an array for easy reusability.I'm new to as3 so I've been adjusting my old as2 code. I am using a component for each of my drags and most of it is working well.My problem is with the event handlers. I use the array to populate all of my 'drags' with the information added in their parameters and this works, but when I create my event listeners it seems to only want to move the last item in the array.My drag components are called drag1, drag2, and drag3.[code]

This is my first real programming endeavor and this is the last thing holding my little project back from being a success.
My goal with this code is to add event listeners to an array of Movie Clips that will drag and drop them on the stage.
Here is the code:
var itemBank:Array = new Array(d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_1, d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_2);
for(var i:int = 0; i < itemBank.length; i++) {

I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:
var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

I'm having problems making a loop of different movieClips. I've been able to find info about duplicating the same movieClip but I can't seem to get it to apply to this. This is what I am working with: I have 13 different movieClips of an animated character. They are titled montyDog_mc, montyBear_mc, montyCat_mc, etc. I also have a next and a previous button. What I need to happen is for the movieClip animations to cycle through, one at a time, each time the user clicks the next or previous button. I think I should be creating an array of some sort but I am very confused about how I list the movie clips in an array and apply it to the button.
This is what I have:
montyArray = new Array();
montyBear[0] = "montyBear_mc";
montyBee[1] = "montyBee_mc";
montyCow[2] = "montyCow_mc";
montyDog[3] = "montyDog_mc";
[Code] .....
Am I targeting the movieClips properly?

Just started to make the switch from AS2 to AS3 and am having a few problems, most of which I've managed to fix but this one has got me stumped.
I'm trying to create some buttons dynamically that are spaced out evenly.The clip is in the library and exports as NavButton. I've created an array with all the button clips inside it. This is called navButtonArray and when traced shows the NavButton clips. My problem is when I try and add them to stage. I can't tell if it's only adding 1, or just placing them in the same place, or if it's continually replacing the previous navButton.[code]...

I'm creating multiple movieclips, containing a TextField and an image as a background. In order to keep track of them I'm storing them in an array. The problem is that I can't add the movieclip to the screen >.< What I'm doing is
PHP Code:
addChild(movieclips[0]);
but it's not displaying. I know it's not the movieclip as I can addChild that and it shows, but trying to call it out of the array is not working and it's REALLY frustrating the nark out of me .How do I add the selected movieclip out of my array?
