ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Change URL Of Button?
Dec 8, 2004
I have a swf file that displays data from an external text file, alongside a bunch of buttons that link to html pages. What i would like to achieve is to somehow use the external text file to alter the URLs of the buttons.
The swf i am building is getting used as a 'what's new' section, so it will be updated almost weekly, hence it reading the external text file (so i can update it without using the fla). And because the whats new section changes alot, so too does the button links. Hence, the buttons need to be updated aswell, and ideally, that can be done from the external text file.
Why don't i just use the dynamic text to <a href> to the new page you ask? because that would be sucky.Besides, i think that something like this could open more opportunities to the way we (well at least I) construct our fla's.

Hope the Kirupa Krew can help, if not then have a great day anyways.
Is there any way to change Spark button label dynamically? When i click on it, i want the label to change. I bind the String to label and gives value for the first time, but even flashBuilder shows me that Data binding will not be able to detect assignments. Here is my button:
is there a way, if i have a clear button in my movie with a load url actionscipt in it. is there a way to change the link of that url dynamicly. i know that sounds sort of crazy and ghetto, but is it possible?
I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it. I need a way to either assign button labels like the 4 text boxes below or make it so the textboxes do not interfere with clicking the button?
var myXML:XML = new XML(); var XML_URL:String = "http://localhost/connect.php"; var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
[Code]....
Update: I found the following to change the label, however I am confused as how I do this to buttons I have already created, perhaps using the instance name?
var myButton:Button = new Button(); myButton.label = "Click me";
Buttons works in many ways as movieclips, but for an example they dont have the getBounds method..etc etc..Is it possible to "equip" a native button, so it has al theese methods?..and behves more like a movieclip "why don't just use a movieclip".
I'm looking at creating some template designs for presentations and stuff like that. The only problem I have is not being able to get the consumers tastes down to a tee. The thing that is letting me down at the moment is that im not sure how to dynamically chage the colour of a graphic once a certain button has been clicked. e.g "say if i have index as my default page and the colour scheme is different tones of red how would i be able to change this to blue or green once another button has been clicked."
It would be much better to have this layed out as 'AS' rather than having many different (goto frame label and stufflike that. Im trying to phase myself out of tweens and focus more on the AS side of the whole game.
I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
i have my nave bar as my main swf then i load each page as an external swf in a mc container. each button should be marked when you navigate to the respective page. how would i load a current pages icon over the generic one when i navigate to that page then unload it when i navigate to another page?
Q: I am making a web-application for school work. see: [URL] the collors i got working now but when i press the second button to change the view off the shoe i want that the colors change to. Now the colors keep standing. The colors are pictures converted into MC and the works with attachmovie. But with what script can i change the collors so they will change and fit on the shoe? I hope this is a good explanation. :S else i will make a better explenation.
i have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.
Is it possible to add dynamically an button or graphic symbol into some area ?Let's say i have two buttons, and in particular case i would like to display first button in that area and another time i would like to replace that button with second or another graphic.
how to change the 3D centerpoint dynamically? In the flash IDE you can use the 3D rotation tool and easallydrag the 3D centerpoint. You can see the new position in the transform panel.I read a lot of forums and website.. and dit some coding, but with no result.I tried to do it this way:
var pp1:PerspectiveProjection = new PerspectiveProjection();pp1.fieldOfView=35;pp1.projectionCenter = new Point(-mybitmap.width/2, -mybitmap.width/2);mybitmap.transform.perspectiveProjection = pp1;
I've got an Adobe Captivate file which is pulling through an SWF which I have created. I am not sure exactly how the CP file is importing this SWF but it is.I'd like to ensure that this SWF is on the uppermost layer when the file is published as at the moment it is placed further down the order - which leaves it obscured by other elements on screen. Is there any AS3 code like onEnterFrame or something like that in AS3 which would lift it to the highest depth?
I'm involved in a project that is pushing the limits of my AS3. Right now I am trying to use the throwSlider to dynamically change a circle MovieClip so that the slider starts at the left and when dragged to the right it increases the size of the circle. When dragged back it decreases. I am getting some interactivity but nothing great or smooth. I know I have to connect the code to the x boundaries but I am not sure how to go about it. The circle would give the user some notion of size the real change would be lineStyle(). My goal is to use this slider to increase the line thickness in a simple drawing app I am making for my students.
I�m making a full Flash site, and it would be bilingual. I m making the text parts with external xml files. And I just want that only the text change when the site user changes the language.
I�ve found a great example here [URL], but it appears that only works great in one single SWF file.
What I want is that this function works in the whole site; at any time de site user could change the language for all the text contents.
I �ve the site with this organization:
1- there�s a main.swf with the menu about/services/etc�etc� and it �calls� about.swf, services.swf�. ;
2- the services.swf file contain a sub-menu serviceA, serviceB, serviceC� and serviceA calls serviceAdescription.xml, and so on�
And I want that the language switcher on the main.swf works for the various xml�s that are in different swf�s.
How can I do that?
Can I change the PhilFlash method to make it works to the all site? How?
Theres any tutorial that teaches something similar? Or any Flash component? Where?
How can I change the color of a movieclip dynamically and still keep it's filters? For example:
I have a movieclip on stage with a bevel filter on it. I then want the movieclip to change from blue to red when it's moused over and vise versa when moused out.
The color values I have are hexidecimal: 0xff0000, 0x0000ff
How can I do this? I tried colortransform but when I use that it changes color but removes filters.
I have an image of a handbag. I want the user to be able to click on a fabric image and change the fabric on the handbag to whatever they selected. How to change the image texture in photoshop. Would I first have to make the change in photoshop, then somehow create a movie in flash that places those images in the .fla file. Or will flash do it all for me. That is wrapping the texture around the image each time a new one is selected.
