ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Pathnames, Dot Syntax?
May 10, 2006
I'm using Flash 8, and creating a dynamic XML driven menu.I can't for the life of me figure out the syntax to make a 2 dimensional path to a movieclip.I can reference a movieclip dynamically with: _root["main"+i].label.text but how can I reference a movieclip like this:
_root.main1.subBut1_1.label.text
Where "main1" AND "subBut1_1" are dynamically written.I've tried _root["main"+i]["subBut"+i+"_"+t] and _root["main"+i]["subBut"+i+"_"+t], no dice.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {[code].....

what I'm trying to do is access the data of several movies clips, that are inside of several other movie clips: MC1.insideMC._visible=false (which works, but isn't dynamic) but dynamically with a FOR loop. I've tried: For(bullet=1; bullet<5; bullet++){ "MC"+bullet.insideMC1._visible=false (this does not work) } Does anyone know the dot notation or another way to do this?

I have some movie clips in the library I am loading but I can't figure out the right syntax to get the librabry item dynamicaly so I had to resort to a chain of "if" statements. I left off all the extra stuff like position and addChild etc just to make the code more clear.
for(var i:int=1; i>4; i++){
addChip(i)
} function addChip(id:number) {
if(id == 1){
this["chip"+i] = new twoXchip1()
} if(id == 2){
this["chip"+i] = new twoXchip2()
} if(id == 3){
this["chip"+i] = new twoXchip3()
}}
So what I want to do, is instead of having 3 "if" statements - to just use the "id" value I passed in to identify the right chip in the library to load. My real if chain is actually much longer than three and it's difficult to update ..I know there's a better way to do it...but every way I try throws errors!

How can I call the property of a dynamic child mc within a static parent mc? For example: a parent movie clip with instance name "parentMC" has four child movie clips with instance names "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4"

Having a hard time trying to resolve this issue, done a bit a of digging but can't find what i'm after. I'm pretty new to AS3 but know that Eval() has gone and been replaced with [] syntax. However, i'm trying to access a dynamic path to a clip and it seems that the array syntax will not allow more than one variable in a path.

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

I've got a for loop and some fuctions working, but can't get one line of code to work. The red line below is what I'm having a hard time with. I'm calling a function called "moveit". If I insert moveit(x1, y1); then it works, and my movieclip is moved to the x and y positions that I specified for item #1. Though I want it to work for 10 items (I only have coordinates for two here, and will add the rest later).
I've searched my ActionScript book and just can't figure out what the syntax should be for calling that function.

I think this should be pretty simple but I have been trying to figure it out for ages. I have an xmllist that i am creating from an xml object so I just get a list of nodes, I want to target each of the page nodes using square bracket syntax like this:
xml..page[0];
but for some reason it isn't working. My xml file is loaded in and is written below.I need to be able to target the nodes numerically,
xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encode="UTF-8"?>
<root>[code].....

explain in very very basic terms (or direct me to tutorial) what is happening in this syntax:
[code]...
this was part of and example on how to optimist code (posted in this forum awhile ago), specifically for replacing either:

I understand how the brackets work, and that X is a variable (I presume a Number).
I assume that '^' == 'to the power of'.
I dont understand why they are using >> or 31 at all.

This animation I'm working on has a dozen pairs of movie clips (with only two library items, one for each type in the pair) with instance names of the form "x" and "xgoal" (this is a drag and drop thing).When I'm writing AS for the "x" clip, how can I refer to its "xgoal" generally? I tried something like:goalName = this._name + "goal";And then using the goalName variable in my dot syntax (retrieving the _x coordinate for the goal clip):this.xgoal = _root.goalName._x;But, of course, that did not work. How can I get around this?

I have an array like this:
Code:
var myData = new Array();
myData["name"] = "John";
myData["Age"] = 35;
What is the syntax to loop through and get the key and value? I have tried for each and for in but they just give me the value of "John" or "35", how can I get the key e.g. "Name" and "Age"?

I'm porting an existing java library to actionscript and since they are both realy similar, 95% of the work is simply flipping variable and function definition around.
public int foo(int bar) {}
//converts to
public function foo(bar:int):int {}
Is there a tool to automate the transition between java syntax and actionscript? I'm not looking to compile java to swf, just transform the source code to be (often nonworking) actionscript.
