ActionScript 2.0 :: Assigning Events To Dynamic MovieClips?

Mar 23, 2011

I load an XML file and through it create several Movie Clips. I want each movie clip to have a rollover and mouse click event, yet assigning the events does not seem to work at all. Here is how I create everything:

ActionScript Code:
var parsed_obj = new Object(); //This will hold the parsed xml data (once the XML loads and gets parsed).
XMLParser.load("xml/test3.xml", onFinish, parsed_obj);
function onFinish(success_boolean, anXML, xml) {
//This function gets called when the XML gets parsed.
if (success_boolean) {
LoadImages(anXML);
CreateAlphabeticalArray();
[Code] .....

When the XML successfully loads, we put it in a global variable and then create images based off the xml data. It might be a little verbose, but it gets the job done for now. I tried several methods creating objects to hold the events and attaching them, just using .onRollOver = function() { trace("whatever") };, etc. The code is on Frame 1 of the time line and not attached to anything. I experimented attaching it to a movie clip and doing onClipEvents, but that breaks the rest of my code because there are various sorting functions and button presses that don't get called.

Actionscript :: Flex Assigning Events To Dynamically Created Buttons?

Jul 18, 2011

My app has buttons that users press to insert predefined strings into a textarea. I'm now making it load in the button values dynamically so users can define their own buttons.I'm using a buttons.txt which contains a different label on each line (button1, button2,button3 etc). I loop through the text file and add the buttons to a group. This all works, but now the hard part. How can I assign an eventlistener to these buttons so that they output text to the screen?

protected function view1_viewActivateHandler(event:ViewNavigatorEvent):void
{
var path:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("buttons.txt");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Assigning Functions To Button Events Results?

Jun 25, 2009

I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.

Using the following code:

Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];

[code]....

from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Assigning Frame Events To Dynamically Attached MCs?

Aug 12, 2011

I'd been working on a side-scrolling shooter game in AS2 for a while and it was going great, but for whatever reason, it scrolls all choppy and the framerate is inconsistent on faster machines. I would have expected the opposite, but it is what is is, I guess. So I'm trying to finally learn AS3, and I found some tutorials that got me started towards remaking what I had, but now I'm stuck.I'm trying to make one of those rotating cannons that shoots projectiles towards the mouse cursor. I have the rotation part working, but I'm having trouble with attaching the projectiles to the stage with enterFrame actions on them.I feel like I'm pretty close to a solution, but I don't understand where to put the functions to move the clips to make them work properly. In AS2, I just put something like this on the cannon clip:

Code:
bullet = _root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+_root.bullets, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:nozzledot.pointx, _y:nozzledot.pointy});

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Frames To Movieclips

Oct 17, 2010

I need to set movie clips at specific frames from an existing array. For example, if I have the array [4,7,3] and three movie clips, I want the first clip to be at frame 4, the second at frame 7, and the third at frame 3. Except I have 100 of these, not just three.

Here's the code I'm using to test it out on a single movie clip. It isn't throwing up any error messages, but it isn't working, either, and the movie clip remains stubbornly set on the first frame. 'Randomorderlist' is the array, which is working perfectly. The trace is also working correctly and displaying the number of the frame I want for the movie clip.

function assignframe():void {
boxsymbol(gotoAndStop(randomorderlist[0]));
trace(randomorderlist[0]);
}
assignframe();

I think I might know why it isn't working, but I'm not sure. 'boxsymbol' is the class name rather than the instance name. I first tried the instance name, but it came up with a 1180 error and stuffed up the whole SWF badly. This was the only way I could fix it. Also, Flash wouldn't let me use the same name for the class and the instance. It forced me to use classes, even though I don't really want to.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Movieclips To Characters In A String/array?

Dec 22, 2010

I'm trying to make a Welcome ("User") animation for an eLearning template, and was asked to do it in AS3, which my team and I don't really have experience with (most of us stick w/ AS2 cos we're timeline oriented people), but the manager figured the best way would be to dive right in.The goal is to have handrawn letters w/ vignettes behind (like medieval books have) display a user's username (8-10 characters), which will be stored in one of two javascript variables, depending on which LMS the course is loaded into (one SCORM 2004, and one AICC).

I am able to get a loop to trace one letter at a time, which is a good start, I think, but getting the drawn object to go into an MC based on the characters is beyond me. I am also having trouble finding out how to check for the existence the vars on the HTML page.I have 10 empty MCs on the stage, with instance names of b0-b9, and the MCs with the images in them (yeah, they could just be graphic objects, but whatever) are titled iA-iZ and i0-i9.All I have thus far is

Code:
stop();
import flash.events.*

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Variables Into Dynamically-created MovieClips And Indexing Them

Actionscript 3 :: Assigning Dynamic Masks For Loop?

May 18, 2011

I'm loading 8 thumbnails via XML, placing in a sprite, and spacing them out with a helper grid class. This part works. What does not work is when I try to assign a mask to each of these (using a simpleRectangle class I made) I appear to only be assigning a mask to the last image. Am I doing something wrong with 'imageLoader.mask = _mask;' ?

My ultimate endeavor here is to click the thumbnail and animate the mask to reveal the entire thumb.I nested the showPictures function so it could have a reference to the masks, which is not optimal.

package
public class MiniGallery extends Sprite
{
//create($columns:int, $rows:int, $xSpacing:int, $ySpacing:int, $xPadding:int, $yPadding:int)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Button | Assigning Actions?

Jul 13, 2006

I have a script; what it does is is read a numeric variable (projects) from "text.txt" and dynamically attaches a relevant number of movie clips in a row. Each one of these movie clips serves as a simple two frame "button"; frame one is the unselected state, and frame two is the selected state...


// load external data

loadData = new LoadVars();
loadData.onLoad = function() {[code]....

anyway, this script works just fine, as is. the variable reads in perfectly, the movie clips attach etc. my problem is this: I want the button that I click to go to its active state. this is no problem as all I have to do is add an onRelease/gotoAndStop() command which is attributed to each button as it is created, as above. my problem is that, say I had a bunch of dynamically generated buttons, when I click one of these buttons I don't know how to tell the other buttons to revert to their inactive states i.e: return to their first frames.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Events And Nested Movieclips ?

Feb 20, 2011

I am having the following issue with this navigation I am building. I am trying to build a 3 tear drop down navigation, where each buttons sub menu is placed inside that button. My buttons are actually just movieclips, so I have nested movieclips structured something like this:
 
Button_1
    -> Button_1_1
    -> Button_1_2[code]....
 
Each one of the buttons has their own class with it's event listenerens inside it. What happens now, is that when I click for example Button_1_2_1, I get it's event, but also, the event for Button_1_2 and Button_1. Initially, I fixed this, by attaching the events to a hitArea inside that movieclip, but now I am running into other issues and was wondering if there was a way to turn this off, so if movieclip for Button_1_2_1 is clicked, I only get the event for that one, not it's parents?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Nested Movieclips And Mouse Events?

Apr 22, 2009

I have a movieclip that contains other movieclips, however the nested movieclips don't seem to detect mouse events.Via searching, I found that only the parent can detect these events, but is there a way to pass the mouse click from the parent movie clip to the children? I want to have a small movieclip. When you rollover it, it scales up, and then you should be able to click other various things on it. When you rollout, it scales back down.If this is not practical, what's the best way to keep a movieclip "attached" to another and scale, without childing them?

Actionscript 3 :: Nested MovieClips Not Detecting Mouse Events

I have some nested movieClips. I've got an event listener on the parent listening for a mouse click. Problem is, the listener never picks up the click.[code]On movieClipStack, I can see that mouseEnabled = true. In addition, buttonMode = true works exactly like it's supposed to. But onStackClicked never happens - movieClipStack just isn't detecting any sort of mouse event.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Avoiding Registering Events With Multiple MovieClips

Jan 3, 2011

Imagine that you have a lots and lots of the same library item on stage - movieclips - and you want each of them to be clickable. Normally, you would iterate through each of these and register an event listener on MouseEvent.CLICK for each one. It seems to me that if there are large quantities of these items this could be quite inefficient - on memory mostly - to have all these event listeners. I'm trying to figure out if there's a more "central" way to do this, where your main document class just registers once with some kind of central dispatcher using a custom event? Any time ANY of the movieclips are clicked, that fires this custom event and you can just query the event to figure out which clip was clicked.

Each movieclip that is clickable extends an AS class through its linkage, and when clicked, dispatches a custom event. If I'm using the IDE to put a lot of objects on stage, and these objects have linkages to their own custom classes, I don't want to ALSO have to go into the main document class and have it iterate through these objects to register event listeners on each one. I don't really want the document class to have that much knowledge about these objects (loose coupling). I'd rather the objects "communicate" through this mediator and not really worry about knowing more about each other than what you can access through the custom event.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FlashCS3] Dynamically Loaded MovieClips Don't Respond To Mouse Events?

var nFirstLineY:Number = (Math.round(Stage.height*.78));
var nLineSpace:Number = 22;
var nWaitTime:Number = 1000;[code]...

If I place instances of the mcLine MovieClip on the stage and name them line_1, line_2, etc., the function LineVibrate works, but when I try to add the instances at run time as above, the LineVibrate function stops working.
