ActionScript 2.0 :: Asigning Values To Button Via XLM?
Jul 13, 2006
i'm building an xml mp3 player with the tutorials in this valuable forum, is all good but i want to have a button that when pushed, downloads the zipped mp3 file of what you are hearing. (the mp3 and zip version are in same directory) the file that this button points to changes according to the new item in the xml that also changes the song you are listening
I have a array of MC that are placed on the stage to make up a logowhat i would like is to fade through the clips. I thought i could creat an array and atach a fade function to it but it dosn't seem to work.here is my code
function init(){ //create an array for my movie clips euro = new Array ( b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7,b8,e1,e2,e3,e4,e5,e6,e7,e8
I have a query regarding assigning values to buttons in a for loop, I will explain:This is a string which I want to assign to a button value via getURL:
I'm having such trouble accessing the value of the selected radio button in a group.I put 5 radio buttons on the stage and gave them all the groupName of 'Question1' in the component inspector. They each have their own instance names and a value which is also set in the component inspector.When I go to access the group (via Test Movie) and check which value is selected I get this error:
'Access of undefined property Question1'Here's the code I'm using:
var Radio1:String = new String();Radio1 = Question1.selection.value; SubmitBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler); function clickHandler(eventObj:MouseEvent):void { trace("clicked"); trace(Radio1);}
Other problems I'm having with this code is the flash player doesn't believe the value of the radio object is a string...so what is the data type of the value property?
Right now I have a drag and drop exercise that will output a value based on the drop positions of 2 points. What I would like is to be able to add a button that basically has a whole new set of outputs based on the same drop positions. Here is an example. If I place an object on drop target 1 and 3. The output says something like "good job". Now if I click a button and place and object on 1 and 3 the output would say "try again". I hope this makes sense. I would also like the ability to add more than one button.
1. How do I back fill in this information visually when dragging the graphs?
Example of my needs...
I am setting up a series of tasks and might not have enough 1st graders so I might ask some 2nd graders to fill in some spots, of course 1st graders can not fill in for 2nd graders so that should not happen. Each color corresponds to a specific task which are linked across the grade levels. So DES1 2nd grade can only cover a DES1 first grade position.
The same thing goes for 3rd graders to cover 2nd grader positions.
So if I take the DES2 position in the 2nd grader column and drag it down it should back fill into the 1st grader position of DES2
Column one knows the info of a 1st grader Column two knows that of a 2nd grader and a 1st grader Column three knows 3rd grade and prior.

Code: /* Things to do... 1. 2. Make reset button work right. 3. hierarchial scaling/back filling.

My buttons are not being placed in the same position as my other buttons are on another page? I copied the same x and y cordinates as the other page..but they are still not being placed in the same position..why is this?
I have a survey in Flash with 5 questions. Three questions have input text boxes for the user's answers, and two have sets of radio button options. I want to send the answers to a PHP script and insert them into a MySQL database.The text boxes work fine, but the values for the radio box responses show up as "undefined" in MySQL. I'd like to know how to pass the values from the two radio button groups into the LoadVars object. The code I have is:
Code: submit.onRelease = function(){ var questionVar:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); questionVar.question1 = question1.text; questionVar.question2 = radioGroup1.getvalue();
Im making 6 buttons all with different values. When you press one button the number that button holds will show up in 2 dynamic textfields.In the first field the numbers will come upp in a list form, one under another.and in the second textfield the number that the buttons have will add up.I have tried for some days now but cant come up with anything that worked.Haved tried with thisfor one button:
totalsum.text += Number(totalsum.text) + 22; and this for the next: totalsum.text += Number(totalsum.text) + 33;
I am looking for a quick and easy way to store variables in a text file, rather than use amfphp to connect to a database all I need to do is increment values every time a button is clicked. Would be better if all the vars were in the same text file but if I have to have one per var that would be ok.
I am building a custom shopping movie for a client. He sells wine and champagne glasses with customizable bracelets. He wants customers to first choose either a 2,4, or 6 pack of glasses, and then individually choose bracelets. My problem is I don't know enough AS to code the functions.
For instance, when a customer first orders 2 glasses, it adds them to the cart, and then sends them to a new frame of the movie, with pictures of the 4 possible bracelets and a text field below for quantity, each with a default value of 0. They can choose 2, and only 2, bracelets by adding a "1" to their desired text fields.
First off, I want nothing to happen until they add a "1" to 2 separate fields. Once they have done that, a specific 'add to cart button' needs to pop up, that will getURL the proper link to add that bracelet combo to the cart.The code, which is wrong, that I am using so far is this:
ActionScript Code: on (release) { if (AS2 + B2 + R2 + SL2 < 2) {
I'm currently underway in designing the UI for my game's level editor, I'm not using Flash's build in UI components instead I'm doing it from scratch using OOP.I want to have buttons, drop down menus, panels/windows that contain text fields and buttons.
At the moment I have the buttons down whenever one is created it is added to a static class's static array, and given a unique id number dependent on how many buttons have been created and added to the array so far.I figured this would be good as whenever a button is created I could apply an Event Listener looking for a MouseEvent.CLICK. Then just using the event.currentTarget.getID(), to find out what button has been pressed.
I'm about to start making panels/windows so the user can enter numerical values then submit them via a button, which will also close the window. I was thinking about doing more of the same and having static classes for each input type which lists all instances of that type of object.
I've gotten these sliders to work but can't get the output values to add up. For instance, depending on the values for slider 1, 2 and 3, I need the total to show up in a separate text box. I keep getting a NaN message in the text box.Here's the code I have so far:
I need to save email-id in my login form through the cookies. if I use shared object I am able to save but my requirement is need to save in cookies. How can I save? I got sample code from net. Attaching that code `package com {
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
/** * The Cookie class provides a simple way to create or access * cookies in the embedding HTML document of the application.
I need to be able to compare the number of whole days between two dates in ActionScript, is this possible? I'd like to test if one date is 7 days or less after today, and if so is it one day or less (if it's before today this also counts).The workaround I have in place is using the .time part of the date field:
// Get the diffence between the current date and the due date var dateDiff:Date = new Date(); dateDiff.setTime (dueDate.time - currentDate.time);[code].....
As I say - this is only a workaround, I'd like a permanent solution to allow me to check the number of whole days between 2 dates. Is this possible?
and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....
I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:
I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} { function (scroll) { textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
I am loading images and am getting their heights via trace but can't put them into an array to save my life.
Code: var imageResArray:Array = new Array();//used to store image height ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ImageLoaded); ldr.load(new URLRequest(menuArray[c].iPath.toString()));
In my code I have two variables I only want to use them one time and after that never again. The vars are newDraggerPos and newHolderPos. How is that done?
Code: function moveRight(event:MouseEvent):void { //trace(mcHolder.width);//6759
I am trying to develop a flash map where i need to show avalue from the current url into the text field in flash. Theproblem is I need only some values from the url to be displayed indifferent text boxes.Say the url is http://ayushjain.in/staticDefault.aspx?northamerica=168&southamerica=1 &europe=10&africa=0I want to display the value of "northamerica", "eurpoe" &"africa" in the text boxes.This should be done as soon as the swf loads in the html
I have a for loop that goes through my recieved values from my server. How can I put all those values into ONE array? I have this now, but obviously the array just updates every time the loop returns.
I have a value object, inside are lots of getters/setters. It is not a dynamic class. And I desperately need to search an ArrayCollection filled with them. The search spans all fields, so and there are about 13 different types of VOs I'll be doing this with. I've tried ObjectUtil.toString() and that works fine and all but it's slow as hell. There are 20 properties to return and ObjectUtil.toString() adds a bunch of junk to the output, not to mention the code is slow to begin with.
flash.utils.describeType() is even worse. I'll be pleased to hear I'm missing something obvious. UPDATE: I ended up taking Juan's code along with the filter algorithm I use for searching and created ArrayCollectionX. Which means that every ArrayCollection I use now handles it's own filters. I can search through individual properties of the items in the AC, or with Juan's code it handles full collection search like a champ. There was negligible lag compared to the same solution with external filters.
With 5 variables consist of a value, I would need to check if any value between fa to fe has a gap of 6 in integer as in f1=1, f2=0, f3=0, f4=7, f5=10; and between f1 and f4, which has a gap of 6.
Can I pass values from fla to AS3. Example I have fla file where the xml faile loaded. Now I want to make button "Button 1" and "Button 2" now if I press the button it sent to AS3 values/variables. private var xmlURL:String = "xml/Button1.xml"; After buttone 2 is pressed is private var xmlURL:String = "xml/Button2.xml";
