I am trying to write a script that dynamically lays out images in rows of 3. I've written the following script to test out my idea, but it isn't working. in this script, the height is being determined too. I've attached the .fla too,

I'm using a compination of actionscript's getPixel and php's imagecreatetruecolor and imagesetpixel to generate a png image of an swf movie inside a browser. At the moment it will output a 72 dpi image at the same resolution as the swf movie, but I've been asked about the possibility of generating a 300 dpi image instead.

I want the clips to be displayed in, for example, 2 rows of 3 clips, 6 in total.
By modding the AS to
total = 6;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
t = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("xml"+i, i);
loadMovie("imgBack.jpg", "xml"+i);
[Code].....
I realise that the size of the jpg determines the point at which the second row is displayed so can I do it easily by determining that the third mc has been reached so start a new row?

View 5 RepliesI have an AdvancedDataGrid being built dynamically from an html table. The html is provided by a server so my code has to work dynamically for different columns/rows.
I have the columns being built and they display properly, however when I get to adding the rows is where i have issues. the follow code snippet shows iterating over all of the columns and adding a value under each of those columns to an object (to make a complete row) and then adding that to the ArrayCollection that later gets set to the dataProvider for the AdvancedDataGrid
//create an item to work with
var chartItem:Object = new Object();
for( var j:int = 0; j < columnResult.length ; j++ )
{
[Code]....
my issue is that when "head" has a value of 0, as in the column title is '0', the item is added at position [0] instead of at 0 as a string.
I looked up some examples and tried with:
chartItem.head but that just assumes the column title is 'head' instead of grabbing the value of the head var

I'm trying to position dynamically generated movie clips into rows and columns. Currently i've managed to position them side-by-side using the same ._y position. I would like to position them into a grid consisting of 25 columns and 16 rows, so mc 26 would sit beneath mc 1 etc...
View 9 RepliesI need to dynamically stack rows and colums of squares. That is easy enough. But i want to dynamically change the number of columns depending on the total number of squares. This way, i will always have a rectangular grid of squares. I can do this by using a series of if...then statments to check the total number of squares, but this is not a good solution as it will not scale infinately nor is it very adaptable to different layouts.
I susupect that there is a way to find a relationship between the number of squares and the number of columns needed to keep things in a rectangular shape... but it hurts my head to keep trying to figure it out with my limited math skills.
I'm trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?
Just wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded. So we can load all the images in image gallery through xml into flash.

View 2 RepliesI have a script that parses some complex XML. When the XML element is of a certain type, it generates a comboBox using the XML element's children to populate the box. I then want to check all of the values of the all the generated ComboBoxes against their correct answers (which is also info stored in the XML file). When creating the ComboBoxes, I added an "id" property. However, it seems that I cannot them use:
dynamicQuestion.id.selectedItem.labelField
to check the answers. However, I am able to get the labelField if I know the variable name used to create the ComboBox.
dynamicQuestion.selectedItem.labelField
This indicates (to me) that I need to dynamically generate the variable name as I'm creating new instances of the ComboBox. But how do I dynamically generate a variable name? If I use
var thisBox:String = "box"+boxCount;
var newBox:ComboBox = thisBox as ComboBox;
I get an implicit coercion error. I also tried changing the creation statement to a function that accepted an argument, "thisBox," but this didn't work either. Conceptually, this seems quite simple, but I'm having a hard time putting it to practice. It seems that the comboBox's id is what is generated by created the box using script (e.g., var thisBox). How do I dynamically generate this name?
I have this code (for now, but there will be much more eventListeners) and i want to generate them dynamically.

I'm making a game and I an in-game editor that is able to create entities on the fly (rather than hard coding them). I'm using a component-aggregation model, so my entities are nothing but a list of components.
What would be the best way to obtain or generate a list of components? I really don't want to have to manually add entries for all possible components in some giant registerAllComponents() method or something.
I was thinking maybe somehow with reflection via either the knowledge that all components inherit from the base Component class, or possibly via custom metatags but I haven't been able to find ways to get a list of all classes that derive from a class or all classes that have custom metatags.
I have tried using the FBML to display the flash statically. it is simple.and I have used the FBJS to dynamically display normal content.So, how to use FBJS to create the tag for displaying Flash?I have tried setInnerXHTML but doesn't seems working.

View 2 RepliesThe main thing that intrigues me about the project is that it can create FLV thumbnails on the fly using the VideoThumb.as file included in the project download. Unfortunately, the project was made to be used on Flash Communication Server, and I am using Progressive FLVs on my site. I have been trying to figure out how to convert the VideoThumb.as file to work with progressive FLV instead of streamed FLV. I must say that I'm quite surprised no one has done this yet, as I think it would be a valuable contribution to the Flash FLV community.Anyways, as far as the code in the VideoThumb.as file, the main part I don't understand is this snippet...ok, so it's a pretty big snippet

// str is the suggested string to render from the tree (based on the node)

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.
I want to generate movielclips dynamically using xml nodes in a circular fashion (lets assume 360 degree circle). Suppose if i have 5 nodes in xml, then it has to generate only 5 movieclips in a circular fashion. and if it was 50, it has to generate 50 mc's in a circular fashion again.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to generate variable names dynamically to get the X coordinate for many MovieClips on my stage.
This sort of works:
stop();
var End_X_mcArm01_Dot0:Array = [];
for (var Four_counter:int=1; Four_counter<=1; Four_counter++)
{

It stores the X coordinate in the variable End_X_mcArm01_Dot0[Four_counter] which is great. But I want to store these values for use later in my FLA.
If you turn the comment off on the second trace it errors although it appears to have created a variable called "End_X_mcArm01_Dot01".

View 1 Repliesway to generate an image or swf movie from what the user creates on the screen.
Example: The user drages a couple movieclips and a dynamic text box to the desrired location on the screen. What I need to do is when a button is clicked, I need the current arrangement of movieclips that the user created sent to an email address as an image/swf file. I know PHP is involved in this, but I've having major difficulties producing this.
So I am using actionscript 3.0, not FLEX so I had to make my own drag and drop code. The only thing I now need is a way to create a copy of the datagrid row that follows the mouse when dragging. How would I make a 'semi-transparent image' of the row to drag along with the mouse when I drag? It would seem like there would be some way to render a row as an image, but as of now its unknown to me. I would use a MOUSE_MOVE event in combination with knowing that the drag is initiated, but how to I generate the image itself that will be dragged?
View 0 RepliesWorking on a website that has an image of a sticky note which will change text somewhat frequently (every month or so) as new "todo" items are created on it. Font I'm currently using is not Web Safe and the text is slightly angled to match the skew of the sticky note as well. Now I'm a pragmatist, and in situations like this I would normally cede defeat and opt for something more CSS/HTML practical. But no more! I'm falling a bit behind on what's going on with HTML5, CSS3, PNG graphics, Flash (ugh), and/or any other rich visuals. I'm decent with PHP/CSS/JS (jquery), have dabbled in Flash/actionscript too. My question is: what tools/method should I be looking at here? EDIT: I've switched to Comic Sans MS/Cursive -- pragmatism is fighting back furiously.
