I'm needing to create identical functions but different 'i' Number Variables so that I can call them as shown when I need to.
create movieclips in a for loop.Basically I am trying to create a series for movieclips and add these to my stage based on an array of values.
for (var i:Number = 0; i < product_total; i++) {

addChild(product_mc);

This code works fine to add one but I can't add more instances?Appears addChild not render mutiple instances on the stage.
Im trying to create a simple loop that creates 50 buttons, adds them to screen and then when a button is pressed, it traces out that number. I can get it to work by doing stuff I consider hacky (such as using the buttons X/Y location to determine its value), but I'd rather just be able to hold a single value in the function.
The code itself is:
for (var a:int = 0; a < 5; a++) {
for (var b:int = 0; b < 10; b++) {

create functions using a loop, like so with just the !HERE! replaced with the method of creating it with the 'i' variable. Both the function name in the event listener and the function's setting need to make use of the i variable

this["question"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, !HERE! );

I using a loop to dynamically create some movieclips and then position them using the ._height and .width values.
When they are created I use a Listener and LoadInit, to check that everything has loaded. I do this because I want to be able to access the ._height properties of the movieclip in order to place them next to each other and centre them vertically.
If I place the following 3 lines outside the function:
inBead._x = currentPosition;
//gets the start position
currentPosition = currentPosition+Number(mainLoader._width);
//gets the position and adds the width of the movieclip

I would like to create multiple sprites with a checkbox to remove all items from that sprite without removing the sprite itself. I would rather not create a script for each individual sprite. I would prefer creating one function that creates all the sprites ... If you see below, I would like the function (CreateSprite(10,20)) to include one on the sprites I created in the first line i.e.: CreateSprite(10,20,s1); rather than create 3 CreateSprite functions. I would also like to avoid creating multiple boxClick functions for each sprite.
var obj:Sprite;
var s1:Sprite, s2:Sprite, s3:Sprite
function CreateSprite(xx:int,yy:int):void{
obj = rectSprite();
obj.x = xx;obj.y = yy;

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make a point and click game for the fun of it. I'm having troubble with the .onPress function. I've made an array of movieclips, and I want to go through them in a loop, and make an onPress function for each of them. What I am trying to do with the code below is to make the debugText tell me what movieclip I pressed:
var letterArray = new Array();
letterArray = [l1_mc, l2_mc, l3_mc, l4_mc, l5_mc, l6_mc, l7_mc, l8_mc, l9_mc,
l10_mc, l11_mc, l12_mc, l13_mc, l14_mc, l15_mc, l16_mc, l17_mc, l18_mc,
l19_mc, l20_mc, l21_mc, l22_mc, l23_mc, l24_mc, l25_mc, l26_mc, l27_mc,
l28_mc, l29_mc, l30_mc, l31_mc, l32_mc, l33_mc, l34_mc, l35_mc, l36_mc];
[Code] .....
DebugText outputs:
Pressed movieclip nr: 36 36 36 36 36 36
No matter what clip i press, i get the same output: 36. why?
If you place a for loop in a recursive function with the function call within the loop... will the loop finnish or does it stop working untill the last recursion?

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....

I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.

outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol);

My master timeline is 128 frames long, I want the timeline to play from frames 1 to 128 once and then from frames 64 to 128 three or four times before returning back to frame 1 and starting the whole sequence again so I end up with a continuous loop that consists of the full animation once and the second half 3-4 times all repeating endlessly. I've been reading about "for" loops and guess this is what I need to use but I don't quite get how to set it up, how I'd set up a counter to count the repeats, and how it would reset etc.

View 2 RepliesI have a for loop that runs depending on the length of an XML file. What I want to do is create a unique text field for each run through of the loop, and give it it's own position on the stage, and finally assign it the text from an external text file that is specified in the XML file. Everything I know how to do except creating the textfields.

This code creates only one Text Field, but then replaces it's text with new text with each run through.

I'm trying to create multiple objects in Papervision using Flash Builder, each one with it's own texture that I'm getting from an imported SWC.My code works perfectly if I apply one texture to all shapes, but when I try to put it into a loop I can't seem to get it to work. I think this is more of a syntax problem, I'm just not sure how to tell Flex what I want.Here's a chunk of the code that works fine, applying an "img1" texture to everything: [code]Does that make sense? I want each iteration of the loop to add a number to the end of "img" and apply that to the shape.
