ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Stack Of Buttons At Runtime
Apr 25, 2005
Any way to take the contents of an array, which is full of texttype, and use them to create a stack of buttons. Now the actual text I have in the array will change every time the program is run. For example, let's say my array is ["apples","oranges","pears"]. I want to create three buttons (in this example) so that it appears
apples
oranges
pears
And when you click on "apples", it takes you to the corresponding "apples" webpage ("_blank").

I'm really struggling to resolve a stack underflow that I'm getting. The traceback I get at runtime is:
VerifyError: Error #1024: Stack underflow occurred.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
This is particularly difficult to debug because when I run in debug mode it does not happen at all. It only happens when compiled as a release.

applicationComplete seems to be an even better event than creationComplete to put application initialization code. See this blog entry for some explanation, and and this video (around 4:25) by an Adobe Tech Evangelist for an example of simple "start of application" data initialization.

Does anyone have a lot of experience with the different runtime debugger tools out there such as De MonsterDebugger? I'm looking for one that will map out the call stacks of different function calls within a tree structure. I couldn't tell if De MonsterDebugger does it, but it doesn't seem to. And I wasn't sure what other options are out there.
For an example of what I'd like, consider the following and the expected output (or something to that effect):Code:

Worse comes to worst, I'll just implement it myself, but I was hoping someone already did

I'm trying to develop a card game with Flex, and I was wondering if there's a way to create an horizontal list (the cards that I have in my hand) having the elements overlapped, like you can see in this example made with openflux: [URL]. The thing that's missing here is the possibility to swap the cards with drag and drop. What I could do to get a similar effect with an horizontal list based component?

I am creating a card game everything is fine but I am not able to create a stack of cards as follows: If I have 4 cards that are represented in an array such as 4,5,6,7 of Spades then I want the card with the least priority to be placed on top and the highest priority card placed behind the first one.

I've been trying to tweak the "image gallery + Bokel loader class" found on the laco web site. The image preloader is pretty nifty:
http:[url]....
I've added Previous/Next buttons which clients always seem to demand, and I've given the thumbnail buttons a static position (something I need to do). I'm having problems getting the buttons to stack in rows/columns though. I can't work with one long column or row of buttons - they need to be stacked in rows, say 6 buttons per row and 6 columns across so that there is a nice box arrangement to the buttons. But the way the functions are written its hard to make adjustments to the placement of clips.

Been struggling with the basics of creating instances at runtime. I needed to implement an XML video player and even though the client has supplied a component that they liked and it works fine, i cant turn it off as im not sure how the thing works. Basically the timeline hits a keyframe and stops. It runs the code to make the player popup but once the user has exited, the player stays on.If the function creates an instance for flv playback... how do i tell it to stop?
function below
function makePlayer ():void {
my_player = new FLVPlayback();[code].........

I'm trying to create a container movie clip, then inside that, create several other movieclips with an image in each and display them with an offset x.It does the offsetting but only displays the last one at the last x.When i dont put the clips in a container it works fine. but i want them in the container so that i can movie the container around on a press.
Heres the code:
var itemsArray = new Array("pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", "pic3.jpg", "pic4.jpg");
var clipArray = new Array();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("carousel", this.getNextHighestDepth());

I'm loading a set of images and text from an XML file.I have the images loading into empty MovieClips created dynamically using 'createEmptyMovieClip', and I can get the text into dynamic textboxes that already exist on the timeline, but this isn't exactly what I want.
What I wan't to do, is to pull the text from the XML directly into dynamic textboxes at runtime, in the same way as the images.I've read today about 'createEmptyTextField', but I can't get it to work.

I am writing some code that needs to be very efficient, yet flexible. This is in a class and when the class gets initialized a function is setup. I want this function to run straight through without doing any time-consuming things such as calling other functions or routines, or doing any if/else logic/branching. Now I know that you can setup a function at anytime during runtime such as:
Code:
var myFunction:Function = function() {trace('HELLO!')}
But what I am trying to do is to try and append code to a function based on logic, yet I don't want the function to be deciding this logic when it is running as it will only need deciding when the function is created.... imagine if it were a string it would be something like myFunction+="do somethingelse;" which would be the same as having initially setup myFunction as such:
Code:
var myFunction = function() {do something; do somethingelse;}
With this I seem to be having no luck Here's an example where I setup the most compact/efficient function at runtime depending on what I want the function to do. Now this was fairly simple because when we create the function there are only a few possible variations, but I need someway of doing a function+= as my real code has quite a few variations and it would be a nightmare have a zillion if/else branches. REMEMBER I do not want any logic/decisions in the function itself as it to be the most efficient the function must be as compact as possible and run straight-through.
Code:
var dynamicFunction:Function;
//
// Setup the dynamic function & call it
// In this example outputs "Hello Jim" & "Goodbye Jim"
dynamicFunction = CrapSetupRoutine(true, true, "Jim");
[code]....
P.S. I knew the += would never work as this is a function and not a string. But at least if you think of the function as a string you'll get what I'm trying to do....

I need to create curved Arabic text which can be change at runtime by input from Text Field. Currently I am using Text2Curve AS3 component. It works fine with Latin symbols, but I have several problems with it when it come to Arabic text: First problem is that Arabic letters comes in four different forms: end, middle, beginning and isolated. But Text2Curve AS3 component shows them the same.Second problem is that Arabic text shouldn't have any gaps between letters. But in component you can only set one letter spacing for all symbols. So some of the symbols overlap, while other have gaps between them.Third problem is that Arabic text is written from right to left, but Text2Curve AS3 component only supports left to right. (I solved it partially by reversing input string)If someone have had similar problem, or know better component/library (paid or free), or can event create one please let me know. Also I am working with Adobe Flash Professional CS 5.5 and I don't speak Arabic. So it is quite hard for me to check if Arabic text is good or not.

Basically I want the user to be able to create a line on runtime by first pressing mouse_down on the stage estabilisting the first xy points of the line and then move the cursor somewhere else to a different x, y co-ordinate where the user finishes the line by pressing the mouse_down button again. How to do this? I need it to be a straight line

I have a flash project that requires a swf file with over 300 textfields i.e a datasheet like in excel.i use actionscript 3 to dynamically add them at runtime.However I have a function calculate() that references them at compile time.So i think the problem is the caluclate() cannot find the textfields because they are still not added to the stage.How can i create them dynamically and after that add a function caluclate that will surely find the textfields?
Here is a code example of my work:
//add 50 textInput components
for (var intr:Number=1; intr<=50; intr++) {
var intTextField:TextInput=new TextInput();

here's my code:
Code: Select allvar arrThumb:Array = new Array();
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
arrThumb[i] = "thumb_mc"+i;
[code]...
THE CODE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK ,I want to create 10 moveiclips each with unique name, which I can move around or maybe load things into later. At the moment the trace returns 'undefined' so the movieclips aren't even being created.

I'd like to learn the correct way to design flash sites in the direction of the Kirupa tutorial found here:Although that's a hellava lot more complicated than what I'm doing now, I see the point of minimizing the layers in my movies as much as possible.So, I've begun using attachMovie to load my movies to the stage at runtime. This has dramatically reduced the layers I had in my main movie. Now, the site has just two layers: one for actions and the other for invisible buttons. The invisible buttons sit exactly where the movie clip buttons will appear at runtime.I'd like to know how I can load the buttons at runtime, basically reducing my main movie down to an actions layer. Is this possible or even recommended as good practice?

I've been coding all day so my brain is a bit fried. I just came accross something I will need to address and I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach this following scenerio: I have a mirror graphic, inside the mirror I need to have a movieclip fade from one pic to another and loop or fade from one clip to another. Either the one clip has two pics inside or theuse two clips with one pic in each which is pretty easy to achieve but I need to have each pic when displayed be a button that when released will gotoAndStop in a frame inside the timeline.

I've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?

Basically, i want 5 buttons in one scene to link on to different scenes. The buttons are images. I tried doing it and each button goes on to the next scene which is not what i want.I have converted the images as button symbols and added actionscript on each of them, but it just links on to the next scene instead of going to different scenes.[code]

I am making a bar of 4 different movie clip buttons in a row. Like "- - - -" and what happens is when you hover over them they expand and show content of what they are labeled. "info" hover over shows content. But the problem is, whenever let say hover over Contact, The "Info" title on the bar next to it will show. I'm unaware of how to make it so the "Content BOX" is above the rest of the hover links. All the hover links are all into one layer, in a movie clip. (So I can toggle the whole button bar from left to right.)

I want to make a site for my personal gallery and i'm asking you if there is another method to make my gallery, other that the one when the user click Back and Next to navigate through thhe images in the order that i chose. I want to create some buttons dynamically (so i will be able to add images to the gallery without replacing the SWF) and assign each of these buttons an on(release) or on(press) event handler that will show the image for that button

I'm using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0 and I'm trying to create buttons dynamically.I tried to follow the code in the link below. The code is correct for the most part but the only problem I have is that only the last button appears. For example, if I try to create 10 buttons, only the 10th button is created.

im trying to dynamically create buttons...here's an example scenario -> off stage is a movie clip called "originalButton_mc"I want to use a loop to duplicate this movie clip 25 times, and each one should be able to perform a unique onRelease function ex.
Code:
for (i = 0; i<25; i++) {
var newButton_mc = originalButton_mc.duplicateMovieClip("button"+i, i+1);
newButton_mc._y = i*22;
newButton_mc._x = 10;
[code]....
the problem with the above code is that when I click my new buttons it always traces 25...because, clearly - my code is wrong, and the onRelease is getting rewritten for each button - hence its left with the last i ... 25.

So I have this loop generating buttons based upon how many entries there are in my XML:
Code:
for (j=0; j < base.image.length(); j++) {
trace(j);
var newButton:imgButton = new imgButton();
[Code]....
Now I'm just wondering what the best way of assigning control to the buttons is (i.e. making them do something,). I'm wanting each created button to load a different image (defined in the xml) if that's of any use.
Do I need to add event listeners dynamically or something?
