I am trying to assign events to a bunch of buttons at once. To test out to see if my theory works i tried this code with 3 buttons on the stage named test1, test2, ect.
Code:
var e=0
while(e!=4){
_level0["test"+e].onRelease = function() {
[code]....
they each trace something, but its the same thing?! tester4<<<

I am trying to create a bunch of buttons (actually movieclips) with code and have them have their own unique onPress event.
View 1 Repliesi cant seem to get a bunch of different buttons to work at once.this is a pretty complicated movie but the buttons are all simple.heres what i need.a next and previous frame button at the bottom
3 play button links that need to show a movie. (i was thinking of just using gotoandstop and having three frames at the end of the timeline for these movies, but if theres a way to just have the flv start playing ontop of the current frame on release that would be better.and the last thing is just some links to external urls from buttons made of ads and what not within the magazine.now i know how to make all these work by themselves but when i add the code for all these nothing works.i'll attach the .fla as well as an .swf.
I need to be able to click and drag multiple objects at the same time I can make it drag 2 objects but when I add another one it doesn't work?
View 2 Replieshere is some AS3 code I wrote to have a bunch of buttons load some MoveClips. I am using a label to tell the button where to go to play the appropriate movie clip.
It all works fine, but it seems so repetitive and I keep reading about making the code more streamline, but I am having trouble doing just that.

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();
//etc etc[code].....
why does this work:
[AS]for(i=0;i<perPage;i++){
with(_root.attachMovie("entry","entry"+i,i)){
_root["entry"+i].onRollOver = function(){

I'm creating a photo gallery script with 3 categories (people, places, and things). The 3 categories all share the same thumbnail movie clips whose onRelease handlers I want to change depending on whichategory is selected If you look at the newCat() function at the bottom of the script you'll see my comments as to what is happening and when Apparently the event handlers being assigned to the thumbnails are using the local variable 'pict' inside the 'newCat()'function which is being overwritten each time the function goes through a loop? Does anyone know why this is happening or another approach I can take?
Code:
//set up picture categories and file names
people = ['mittens.jpg', 'penny.jpg', 'selfportrait.jpg'];

I have a fla/swf file, with 6 buttons on it all with their own hover effects and such, however they're all on the same layer. So assigning a link to each one through actionscript is confusing as I've only done it if they were on different layers.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to assign Event Listeners to buttons in an array and increment the function referenced in those listeners by 1 so the functions have unique names, is this possible?
ActionScript Code:

function setButtons():void {

I have been trying to figure out this by myself for a while and needless to say, I have been completely unsuccessful. I have various a loop that creates multiple movie clips called: movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4... (you get the idea...) i want to assign roll over,roll out, press functions to all of theme.g. when you press on one movie, it highlights it.but I am trying to find a summarized way over writing each one out:
movie1.onRollOver=function(){
something happens
}
someonne once told me to use chartAt to do this, to reference different mcs, but I cant figure out how to do it.

I have some basic knowledge in PHP and am learning XML, and basically have decided to prepare my site for the future by switching to strict XHTML / php (plus it needs to be updated anyway). It is a hybrid site with HTML and Flash elements, and each HTML (soon to be .php) page has a single .swf as the nav bar. Is there a way to externally assign hyperlinks to the nav buttons within this .swf? I've done basic external assigns (with .txt files into dynamic text boxes), but this seems a bit trickier. Basically, I want to be able to update the .swf without opening flash, changing the links, and then publishing a new .swf.

If you had a set of buttons called: bt1, bt2, bt3 etc all the way to "bt11" and you wanted to assign the same eventlistener to all of them how would you go about this? ie:
bt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShutters);
bt2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShutters);
bt2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShutters);
etc (too repetitive)

View 2 RepliesMy 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?

So what im planning to do is load a whole bunch of images at once. Flash doesnt know how many images it will load though, so this is what im thinking..
PHP Code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
var urlreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]" + i + ".jpg");
l.load(urlreq);
if (AN ERROR HAPPENS meaning the url is invalid){
//Stop and continue with operations
} else {
//Do stuff with the loader and image
}
How would I check to see if the loader has an invalid url?
How would I sort a bunch of XML nodes? I don't necessarily need to change the existing structure, but I do need to iterate through in a specific order. In AS2 I would use the childNodes array and use Array.sort.
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of objects that are dragable. You click and hold the mouse button to drag them around, then release the mouse button to put them back down. The problem is that when an object is dragged so that another object is between it and the mouse cursor, and the mouse button is released, the object gets stuck to the cursor. Clicking and releasing the mouse button is the only way to drop the object. Is there any way to fix this? Or, better yet, is there a way to make it so an object is immediatelly moved in front of every other object when it's clicked on?
