ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating ComboBoxes In For Loop
Aug 2, 2007
I'm trying to duplicate comboboxes in a for loop. The comboboxes are populated with data using the additem function from an array of information. The first combobox is in place at runtime and populated with the data and then, after a user selects how many comboboxes he wants, I run a function to duplicate it. this is the easy part. Everything is duplicated as expected, but as for the data in the duplicated comboboxes, there is no data inside of them!
Code:
var carFieldsArray:Array = new Array (allCars.carMC);
for (var q=0; q<_root.howManyCars;q++) {
if (q>0) {
temp = carFieldsArray[q-1].duplicateMovieClip("carMC"+q, allCars.getNextHighestDepth());
temp._y += 55;
[Code] .....
The carArray is the array with the data. The carfields array is an array that i created for easy access to the comboboxes carMan is the combobox.
The follow code produces a strawberry image that falls from the top of the screen to the bottom. I tried using a for loop to create 10 different instances of this but it doesn't seem to work for me.(Note: ranx is a number produced randomly earlier in the program)
Code: var nstrawberry:strawberry = new strawberry(); stage.addChild(nstrawberry); nstrawberry.x = ranx;
I have 14 movie clips on the stage, each of which has it's own on and off mode and each goes to a separate URL.I would like to use loops to consolidate the code however I am having trouble with the handler.So far I am using the code below but the question is how do you give each button it's own functionality since the handler is the same?
Code: for (var i:uint = 1; i < 3; i++) { this["lexus"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, manageMouseOver);
Flash 8 duplicating movie clips and setting 3 nodes from XML. I am trying to read in an xml with 3 parameters; 2 links and one text field for a caption. What am I doing wrong this time?
[Code]...
I am trying to have "bMC" load into and repeater for however many XML props there are. within "bMC" are two MC's that on click would open window or grab file and One Text field which would load in caption. For some reason the "bMC" isnt even loading at all. Attached is the .Fla
How do you reset combo-boxes?I have this form with combo-boxes and input textfields, and I want a button that can reset the form.The input textboxes are easy:TextBox1.text = "";
I'm using php to pass FlashVars to my movie for a list of courses and dates - this works fine.The data from FlashVars comes in as simple strings.I then want to use two comboboxes to list the courses and the dates those courses are available.I tried this and MANY other versions but to no avail..I've also been playing withComboBox.removeItemAt() and ComboBoxReplaceItemAT() but again to no avail.
CODE: GET COURSE NAMES DATAcourse_cb.addItem({data:_root.course_name1, label:_root.course_name1});course_cb.addItem({data:_root.course_name2, label:_root.course_name2});course_cb.addItem({data:_root.course_name3, [code].............
What is the best way to populate a multiple Comboboxes when using Flex 4.5 and PHP 5?
I am developing a Flex app that displays about 20 Comboboxes on the screen - each combo showing different data. I would like all of the comboboxes to be populated at once when the app starts. I used the default "Data/Service" wizard in Flex that automatically creates the PHP that returns an ArrayCollection to Flex. For example, below is the current PHP function I use that populates each ComboBox:
public function getListsByCODE($code) { $stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT a.IDCODE, a.CODE, a.DESCR, a.NOTES FROM DROPDOWN_VW a WHERE (a.CODE = ?)"); $this->throwExceptionOnError();
I have a problem with a couple of combobox in flash, the problem is that I have a xml with this structure:[code]And I need to load in a combobox the attribute "NAME".[code]On the other hand in another combobox i need to load the date ID node that will depend of the NAME attribute you choose in the previous combobox.Finally, in a movie clip I created some dynamicaly buttons in which appears the TITLE attribute of the videos and it must call the urls of the videos.But the combo didn´t load anything.How can I do to load data in the comboboxes?
I want 3 comboBoxes. The choices in the first and second will determine what will be displayed in the 3rd box. E.g.
1st box - Choose a genre of music (Rock; Pop; Dance etc.) 2nd box - Choose your county 3rd box will display a list of gigs of your chosen genre in the county selected.
Upon choosing a listing in the 3rd box a dynamic text box will display details (address; contact number; price; web address etc).
I've tried adding 5 comboboxes with createClassObject and attachmovie, and that works fine but when i do a destoryClassObject or RemoveMovieClip on 1 of the comboxes, the Main Label in all the other comboboxes go blank?
Basically what I am doing is a ui for a electronic book. The book is broken into 3 parts and each part has its own set of chapters. My xml schema is pasted below. And what I would like is to have two comboBoxes. The first one would list the names of the parts available, i.e.. Part I, Part II, Part III. The Second one would list the chapters avalable under that part. For example, If Part i, is selected then the second combo box would list chapter 1-5, while if the second part is selected, the second combo box would list chapters 6-10. I am using flash 8 pro, and the xmlconnector and comboboxes.
I use a rather big font size and the bottom of some characters is truncated ("g" for example, or any character going under the baseline):
I first thought it was a problem with the component height, but even with a very large height the characters got truncated, with big empty spaces above and under the text. I looked for a solution on the net but did not find one. Worst: I was not able to find references to my problem though it seems to be an important one. Is there a CSS property to prevent this behavior or do I have to look elsewhere?
i've searched for several hours, and didn't find an answer for my problem. i'm trying to place comboboxes in a datagrid filled with DYNAMIC data. (the number and the content of these comboboxes always change. i don't know in advance how many columns there are, where i need to use comboboxes. so every single combobox gets a unique dataprovider, which comes from an external source, WHEN the program runs.)
-i found MANY threads discussing this problem, but solving via crappy mxml files, filling the comboboxes inside the sourcecode by hand. i want to point out, that isn't good for me.
-i found a better solution, in which they used some sort of custom itemrenderer to get the data from the internet. (kind of a country chooser thing) but sadly that wasn't good enough, because the number and name of the countries in the world are static more or less, they don't change. so their renderer class didn't depend on any parameters from the main algorithm.
but in my program i calculate the data in my own actionscript objects, then fill an arraylist with that. so at the beginning i load the desired data from the net, and when i get the response of the urlrequest, AFTER that i start to populate the datagrid/combobox.
i can fill any datagrid or combobox without trouble, but to put that combobox inside a datagrid cell seems to be impossible.it drives me crazy. i managed to do this in several languages before, c#, java, even php+html, but in flex it looks way too complicated then it should be.
In my application, I am using a ComboBoxs control and where in the init() of the mxml, I am defaulting the selectedItems to a subset of the list in the combobox.The combobox has a simple array of items:[code].....
Im building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
I am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "look inside" the dropdown.
So I'm trying to block the change, but can't. My next resort is to change the selected index back to what it was before the change, Is there any way to do this within the scope of a ListEvent.CHANGE event listener?
Current Workaround is to basically re-assign the controls selected item the same way I am defining the selected item when I originally build it (a default selection). So a user sees their change then it immediately changes back to the default selection.
I am tring to create a movie clip in which different coloured birds are flying..I am tring to duplicate two or more MovieClips at the same time..but only either of them WorksHow should I modify the code so that I can achieve that ?
PHP Code: function birds() for(m=1; m<=10; m++) {firstEnem y= "bird"+1;
As the tittle suggests i have some trouble with Duplicating movieclips in a masklayer. The mask works but it wont duplicate. Also when i turn of the masklayer and use it as a normal layer the duplicate works perfectly. cant find any reason why it wont work.
I am working on an Augmented Reality project .. This is the code that is called when the marker makes contact with the webcam.
[Code]...
Every time I remove the marker and put it back in view .. this script is called and is causing the action to duplicate itself over and over each time the marker is present. How can I do some sort of check to see if this is already added so that it wont duplicate ?
Here's the deal... I built a dynamic image gallery that runs hoizontally, and the idea is tu duplicate it and, when it reaches a certain point, use it's duplicate, so that there's the illussion of a "never ending" gallery.The problem is that, when duplicating the movieclip, it appears empty, even though I duplicate it after having loaded every picture.
i have a battlehsip that launches torpedoes. i want the gun of the battleship to aim (not perfectly but not way off so the gn can have 8 directions instead of every direction. [ignore this if u dont know what i mean]) the gun aims near the shark and launches a torpedo.i need the battlehsip turret to aim at the shark and duplicate torpedos and have the torpedos launched near the shark. and i need it to move toward the shark.
I have two small dots (stars) that I want to duplicate. I have created a function-[ [code]I placed the function on a blankMC in the onClipevent (load) section. In the onClipEvent (enterFrame) I have placed a setinterval command [code]Now this waits 8 seconds and then creates a massive amount of duplicated stars - more than I want. I had just put the duplicate movie bit in a movie every couple of frames and that did what I wanted but I am trying to challenge myself and use functions and code.
Whenever I make a code to duplicate anything in a reaction to an action, i get the problem of having my initial duplicated mc destroyed upon re-duplicating (you fire bullets and the one shot before the last always disappears and so).The thing is, if you take kirupa's "How to Fire"-tutorial, download the source and run it, the thing works like a charm. However, even if i copy every last single bit of code and content to a new document, the duplication process acts as described above.In addition, here's a quote from the tutorial "How to Fire" [url]
explain how on earth one would get "_level0.bullet" from something the likes of "trace(this._name)", which, of course, returns the instance name. Which would, in the aforementioned tutorial's case, be, in fact, "bullet". Not "_level0.bullet". He states "It's not the instance name"... Well, what the heck is it then? The result of the trace in question varies relying COMPLETELY upon the given instance name. If you write "Bratwurst" as the instance name, you get "Bratwurst" from the trace, as god is my wittness.
Even if i remove EVERYTHING from the code that even COULD, by the user's will, remove the duped mc, the initial problem remains. You can only fire one bullet at any given time, other(s) disappear.It's most propable that there's just something i've missed completely, and end up making myself looking like an ***, but still.For those who want a code, just take a look at the tutorial (the URL above). Everything's basically the same. I would also appreciate if someone were to try what i've described, which is to copy everything from the tutorial .fla and placing the stuff on a fresh document.
but in a more complex way. I have an existing 2d array that I want to copy to a new 2d array (but the NEW array can vary in size!).
For example, my current 2d array with the data:
var old_array = [[0,1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8,9], [10,11,12,13]];
And I want the new array to contain the same data as the old_array, yet if the new array is larger, it will put a zero instead of 'undefined'...like this:
var new_array = [[0,1,2,3,4,0,0], [5,6,7,8,9,0,0], [10,11,12,13,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0]];
[URL] if you go into my movie section. i want to add movies to my section if i copy for exemple Audi commercial. i'll have 2 that's great when it'S time to change the name like Audi to Marli it will affect the first one, the original section that i copy too. that's my problem. how can i copy a section to be indivudual. without affecting the first one. cause after that i can go and change everything.
