There is a button in my library say mybutton_btn.I want to dynamically create an instance of it add it on stage something like insName=new myButton_btn();. How can this be achived?
View 7 RepliesI am using the tutorial about dynamically loading images, that then fade when a button is pressed and change to the next image, however I want to load the images and have them fade in and out without pressing anything i.e. an mc that rotates the images, fading them in and out.
The script I have been using is this:
[Code].....
- Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 internal training project- Main movie is a single frame project, containing just the interface. This includes a menu listing 80+ individual "chapters" for the training series.- Each "chapter" is its own project/swf. Once the main interface loads, it should begin to play the chapters sequentially without the user selecting anything from the menu. When one chapter finishes, the next should load. If the user DOES select a chapter in the menu, it should load that SWF, and continue auto-playing from that selection forward.- Each chapter has a built-in play/rewind/ff bar, various movie clips with animations, dialogue audio track and a fairly lengthy embedded FLV movie, and therefore a preloader before each chapter is mandatory.What I have so far works, but it's embarrassingly crafted:- First frame of main movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code (most of this code was taken from an online tutorial):
var slideName = "modules/intro.swf";
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

This question relates to the gallery that I'm working on; basically, I am now trying to add text comments which change according to which button you press to the images. I know how to make this work by applying actionscript to each individual button, but I would like to put all of the actionscript on one layer, meaning that I would have to use the 'button.onRelease = function ()' operation instead of the 'on (release) { function" operation.The code is a variation of Kirupa's code for the tutorial on loading information from an XML, and the xml is his completely. Here it is so far:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have this function
function Do(x:String){}
How can I make so that each time this function is called, it will add a form into a hbox, and that form will have 2 buttons yes and no and put x into the text of a label.When the user is going to click on Yes I need to trace(x) and remove the Form from the hbox
I've tried to access buttons in my menu. I only want to add listeners to the items that is in the XML file im loading.The thing is, i dont know how to call a button i've named "Var1_btn" when i've got a string "Var1".Does anyone know how to call buttons from a for-loop?
for each(var chapter in presentation_xml.*)
{
chapter + "_btn".addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, traceit);

well i wanted to make a navigation menu were you have say, 4 buttons or however many you want to have on the stage, this is controled by a variable. now next to the buttons on each side will be an arrow. now then i wish to have a variable that controls how many there will be in total. so if there is eight in total and only 4 showing then when you press the right arrow they will all dynamically move to the next set of buttons.
but the thing is, i need it to have a mask so you can't see them moving behind the arrows and it would look wierd if you could see the buttons that should be able to be seen. i've been trying to accomplish this but theres so much to get my head around i can't seem to go any further then i have now. also i'm trying to make it so i can have a click event for each button, and also i'm trying to find a way i can use this method to dynamically place the buttons down like i am but have different symbols for each button.
I want to make a site for my personal gallery and i'm asking you if there is another method to make my gallery, other that the one when the user click Back and Next to navigate through thhe images in the order that i chose. I want to create some buttons dynamically (so i will be able to add images to the gallery without replacing the SWF) and assign each of these buttons an on(release) or on(press) event handler that will show the image for that button

View 4 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0 and I'm trying to create buttons dynamically.I tried to follow the code in the link below. The code is correct for the most part but the only problem I have is that only the last button appears. For example, if I try to create 10 buttons, only the 10th button is created.
View 6 RepliesI'm creating buttons dynamically, but I want to add code also. something like (psuedo)[thumb + i].on Release = "_parent.thumb" + i + "Pressed()" can that work? I think I need targetMc?
View 3 RepliesIt's been a few years since I've last used ActionScript, so I'm a bit rusty Anyways, I have 16 buttons in my library with linkage names btn0-btn15. I can successfully add them onto the stage by saying something like:
Code:
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new btn0();
stage.addChild(tempBtn);
I'm going to be tinkering with the buttons layout and positions, and I would like to add each of the different buttons to the stage dynamically with a for loop. I've been trying different variations of this:
Code:
for (int i:int=0; i<16; i++) {
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new ["btn" + i]();
}
but I just can't seem to find the right syntax for doing this correctly.
So I have this loop generating buttons based upon how many entries there are in my XML:
Code:
for (j=0; j < base.image.length(); j++) {
trace(j);
var newButton:imgButton = new imgButton();
[Code]....
Now I'm just wondering what the best way of assigning control to the buttons is (i.e. making them do something,). I'm wanting each created button to load a different image (defined in the xml) if that's of any use.
Do I need to add event listeners dynamically or something?

View 4 Replieshere is my contribution with this script you can create buttons dynamically and remove them (howmany) is the variable of the number of the buttons to create.
Code:
function makebuttons(){
// if we have buttons created at first time we remove them to recreate others ones
if(_global.createdClips.length>0){

I have 4 coordinates from which i created a rectangle(using lines). I also created buttons dynamically. It works great for straight line. But when the coordinates generate diagonal lines im having a problem in making it go below the lines or fitting it inside the figure.See my pic for better understanding. I have also figured out how to rotate the button. Here is my screenshot:Here is my code: To generate the lines:
Code:
var myLine:Shape = new Shape;
myLine.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000, 1);

How to get through to my MovieClips?
In my main application I consume a web-service which gives me an array of vendors.There is a add button in the main application, which when clicked a pop-up is opened.I want to display one radio button for each vendor in this pop-up window.This is all I have done so far: 1. In the pop-up I created a radiobutton group (id = vendorGroup).2. vendorGroup has one radio button called Others (this is the default).
In the main app I call pop-up using:
private var addItemDB:addItemForm;
addItemDB = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,addItemForm,true) as addItemForm;

View 1 Repliesi'm developing a website for my client. Here is the test version [URL] will look like this:[URL]There will be a menu created dynamically from a XML file, after clicking a menu button a MovieClip with a photo and category description will show up.After clicking the button "View more" the MovieClip with description will be removed and MovieClips with category products will show up through a for-loop on XML products nodes from this category.
The XML will look like this:

I have some basic knowledge in PHP and am learning XML, and basically have decided to prepare my site for the future by switching to strict XHTML / php (plus it needs to be updated anyway). It is a hybrid site with HTML and Flash elements, and each HTML (soon to be .php) page has a single .swf as the nav bar. Is there a way to externally assign hyperlinks to the nav buttons within this .swf? I've done basic external assigns (with .txt files into dynamic text boxes), but this seems a bit trickier. Basically, I want to be able to update the .swf without opening flash, changing the links, and then publishing a new .swf.
View 6 RepliesIs there anyway to dynamically change a buttons hit area?
View 10 RepliesI have started to create my buttons dynamically. When doing so, I would like to have a number for each, that I can use to then call other things, such as text from an array, images, etc. All my assets in this file are numbered. For example, the button that I am creating with the following for loop, will have a string from an array, and a jpg that will load when it is clicked.
This is how I am creating the buttons.
for(var i:Number = 0; i < thumbs; i++){
var ref:MovieClip = thumb_scroller.all_thumbs["thumb" + i];
ref.onRelease = function():Void {
clickAction();
}
};
For example, "thumb_scroller.all_thumbs.thumb5" will, when clicked, load a jpg, called 5.jpg and reference a string from an array, at the 5 place in that array. So, if I could somehow, send the number 5 as a parameter with the clickAction();, I could then do what I want. I had tried something like this clickAction(i); but it did now work, because i got updated until the for loop was done and so had the same value for all buttons created by it. How is this done? Is there a way to create dynamic variable that I can send as a parameter with the clickAction()?

I am having 2 problems with the following code...
[AS]
picNamesA = ["pic1","pic2","pic3","pic4","pic5","pic6"];
picNamesB = ["pic7","pic8","pic9","pic10","pic11","pic12"];
[code]....
Ok First problem the pics load but the second FOR loop the buttons don't position themselves correctly. Second problem was in the getURL() It doesnt seem to read the variable picNamesA[i], I did a trace as you can see and it outputs "undefined".
I've been trolling through the forum and I've seen similar instances however I can't seem to get my head around how to make scripting work;What I'm trying to make is similar to an interface where users can input data into a list (myArray) should they need to remove information they can click the corresponding button to remove it, the current code is repositioning a button that's already on the field as opposed to creating a duplicate from the library
here's the full code:
