ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Button | Assigning Actions?
Jul 13, 2006
I have a script; what it does is is read a numeric variable (projects) from "text.txt" and dynamically attaches a relevant number of movie clips in a row. Each one of these movie clips serves as a simple two frame "button"; frame one is the unselected state, and frame two is the selected state...
// load external data
loadData = new LoadVars();
loadData.onLoad = function() {[code]....
anyway, this script works just fine, as is. the variable reads in perfectly, the movie clips attach etc. my problem is this: I want the button that I click to go to its active state. this is no problem as all I have to do is add an onRelease/gotoAndStop() command which is attributed to each button as it is created, as above. my problem is that, say I had a bunch of dynamically generated buttons, when I click one of these buttons I don't know how to tell the other buttons to revert to their inactive states i.e: return to their first frames.

This function all works correctly, except where i am assigning an action to the onRelease event of a given button. Every button is assigned to the same value (appears to be the first value pulled from the array).
function createSubItems() {
vspacer = 6;
i = 0;

WASD and Space. This is going to be a rhythm-type game, where you have to hit space (fire) when the dots are aligned with the middle dot.Hitting space not only fires a small bullet (AS placed on the grey/white outlined button on the bottom right as an on(keyPress "<Space">)) but runs a series of hitTests to see where the dot was on the bar when you hit space (placed on the dot itself), giving you points and a ranking for how close you were to the dot. If your dot is not even on the colored bar (close to the middle dot), no points are taken.
However, a couple of odd problems have arisen. The first one is that when you start playing, the hitTests seem not to take any effect. You can hit space anywhere and the dot disappears, no ranking, no score, nothing. Even if it's on the colored bar. Here's the weird part. Hold space, firing off a torrent of bullets, and now you can play the game as it's supposed to be played. I have no idea why this is happening, and this is a major issue.
Another issue is that the hitTests on the dots are a little tough to deal with... They're working as they should, more or less, but if two of them get on the colored bar (get two on the very edges of the red), and you hit space, both of them get processed. Now, this isn't really a flaw, it's following the actionScript just fine-- I'm just not sure how to make it so that flash only processes the first one until it hits a certain point (past the colored bar), where it would then move on to process the next one the next time you hit space.
The code for the bullets and firing is an ever-so-slightly modified version of this tutorial, just using spacebar instead of a mouse click.The code for the dot hitTests:
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.syncBar.poorLeft) or hitTest(_root.syncBar.poorRight)) {
_root.score += 1;[code]....
The poorLeft and poorRight objects are invisible movie clips placed over the red section of the colored bar, and this code pretty much just repeats with different instance names and variable defs.

I am following along this tutorial: [URL]. And I get to the part where I need to add code to get my buttons to work, and I copy and paste the code and then change the frame labels to match mine, but then I get a syntax error:
"About_Project_mc, Layer 'hit area', Frame 1, Line 1
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbrace."

I know that you can do for example onClipEvent(enterFrame) as an action for an exisiting movie clip.How do i dynamically do thisI load the movie:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip", 101);
myMovieClip._x=50;
myMovieClip._y=50;

I have a for loop - for (var i:int=0; i< results.length; i++)
and in this for loop a button is created - var multiplereportButton:Button = new Button();
I would like the integer value from i to be appended onto the name of the variable, so I thought this would work: var multiplereportButton + i:Button = new Button();

I'm loading 8 thumbnails via XML, placing in a sprite, and spacing them out with a helper grid class. This part works. What does not work is when I try to assign a mask to each of these (using a simpleRectangle class I made) I appear to only be assigning a mask to the last image. Am I doing something wrong with 'imageLoader.mask = _mask;' ?
My ultimate endeavor here is to click the thumbnail and animate the mask to reveal the entire thumb.I nested the showPictures function so it could have a reference to the masks, which is not optimal.
package
public class MiniGallery extends Sprite
{
//create($columns:int, $rows:int, $xSpacing:int, $ySpacing:int, $xPadding:int, $yPadding:int)

I load an XML file and through it create several Movie Clips. I want each movie clip to have a rollover and mouse click event, yet assigning the events does not seem to work at all. Here is how I create everything:
ActionScript Code:
var parsed_obj = new Object(); //This will hold the parsed xml data (once the XML loads and gets parsed).
XMLParser.load("xml/test3.xml", onFinish, parsed_obj);
function onFinish(success_boolean, anXML, xml) {
//This function gets called when the XML gets parsed.
if (success_boolean) {
LoadImages(anXML);
CreateAlphabeticalArray();
[Code] .....
When the XML successfully loads, we put it in a global variable and then create images based off the xml data. It might be a little verbose, but it gets the job done for now. I tried several methods creating objects to hold the events and attaching them, just using .onRollOver = function() { trace("whatever") };, etc. The code is on Frame 1 of the time line and not attached to anything. I experimented attaching it to a movie clip and doing onClipEvents, but that breaks the rest of my code because there are various sorting functions and button presses that don't get called.

I cannot assign _x and _y coordinates in a movie clip dynamically. For example:
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
myThumb_mc = "thumb" + i;
myThumb_mc._x = Stage.width/2;
myThumb_mc._y = Stage.height/4;
}
But if I do:
thumb1._x = Stage.width/2;
this works.

I have a decompiled swf which I've heavily modified consisting of two large buttons with identical behaviors. When I assign a url to the button layer after double clicking on the left button, then the right, the behavior are both applied to the same sprite which, when viewed in the library, only represents the left button ("url one"), while the second url is missing. There are two separate layers for each button on the scene, yet I can't get separate urls applied to them because of this.I could just create two separate files, but that would add to the amount of code...

I have great difficulties with something that should be rather simpel to solve, but the problem is that I'm out of solutions to my problem.The buttons that are created from an loop that retrieves it's data from array's doesn't load the external swf, instead it gives my an 'undefined' output.I tried several different array constructions found on other threads, defined them differently, but it won't work.
Here's what I'm working with:
[AS]buttons = [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8];
titles = ["BOEDDHA", "GELUKSHOEKJE", "GEUREN", "INTERIEUR", "VECHTKUNST", "PERSOONLIJK", "SERVIES", "VERMAAK"];
swfArray = ["products.swf", "products1.swf", "products2.swf", "products3.swf", "products4.swf", "products5.swf", "products6.swf", "products7.swf"];
[code]...
As you see, I made an Array of the .swf's, put the swfArray in a loop and tried to define them to the buttons with the onRelease function.

I have a website that I'm creating an events page for. The intent is to have the text updated dynamically and the ability to create links in the .txt file that start a gallery in flash in a UILoader. The way I have it right now is that the links open a new page, I need to be able to link to the UILoader and specify a certain gallery to show up.I looked everywhere but I can't seem to understand how to do it. I saw that there was asfucntion but as I saw it's no longer in AC3.Here is the link to the page: go to the events page and you'll see what I currently have. The text on the left is dynamic from a txt file this is the content of the file:[code]I need to change the href to something that will trigger flash to load a specific gallery. I have the UILoader in there now and it gets the file that I need. But it's missing the point all together of being dynamic.I could create a function that gets triggered by the href but I've tried it and don't seem to make it work. I'm no programmer I'm a designer, so this is a little over my head. I've just cracked the door on AC3 when I started this website last week & I feel that I've came a long way, but there is a whole lot more learning to do .

I am using Flash5 to build a site. I have a main page with navigation bar to get around. The word "menu" is sitting on the right of the stage which contains the actions:
on(press) {
gotoandplay("expand")
}
which opens the nav bar on the bottom of screen. This works fine. However, the text was blurry on my site, so I switched the text from static to dynamic text, which solved the blurriness problem.
BUT, after switching the text, I discovered my "menu' button is not behaving as before.
Can one assign actions to dynamic text? If not, what do I do to still have legible text? Again, the menu bar and other links were working fine, but when switched to dynamic text, none of the navigation works.

I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];
[code]....
from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.

I have 4 objects in the library. I use a switch case statement to randomly generate them to the stage;[code]When the user clicks "taskMC", I want to assign behaviors according to which object. If I trace "taskMC" I get the name (object A_Graphic, object B_Graphic etc.)but I can't assign actions to them that way. How do I get object A_Graphic to do one thing, object B_Graphic another thing...?

I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?

I`ve made a movie that has one button , now when I click on button this code will execute exactly :
Code:
b1.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("textarea-load.swf",555);
};
I need add another code to hide textarea-load.swf from my movie and this action should occur when I press same button once again . Note : I don`t have any movie with "555" instance name but it helps me to run my movie
