ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Setting Function Type Through Xml?

Jan 16, 2006

I have a number of functions and I want to execute 1 based on the entries in a .xml file

part my xml file reads as follows

<funcType>thisFunc</funcType>

In my .fla I have defined thisFunc along with a number of similar functions

I want to execute the function as follows

chosenFunc=Node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;//points to thisFunc in the .xml file
chosenFunc(); // This should execute as thisFunc ()

Problem is this doesn't seem to be working. Am I trying the impossible?

Professional :: Get Nothing When Type Text Using The TFL Setting

Mar 19, 2011

I'm using the tutorials on [URL] to show me how to work through things. However, when I am trying to type text using the TFL setting, I get nothing but a blue box. I open a blank file, select the Text tool. It comes up with the cross-hair the a small capital T to the bottom right. I click on the stage to make the text box from the dotted lines/marching ants, then as soon as I let go, it snaps to the top left corner as a blue box. And every time I repeat this,each subsequent box snaps to the top left corner. When I click the selection tool, and make a box around the corner, all the different blue boxes I made fro my text tool is shown, but I still can't type even a single letter!

Flex :: Setting JSON Content Type On HTTPService?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Setting Limits For Random # Gen?

Sep 22, 2009

I need to set limits when generating a random number and this (code below) is just a temporary fix until I can set this limit dynamically.

The number is set to be between (0-4) by running an IF statement which sets a fixed upper limit. This works but I need the limit to update dynamically. My main goal is to use the numChildren property of an XMLList object (passed as argument) to set the maximum limit since the random number will be used by a loader when loading an image from this same XMLList.

Currently there are only 5 images in the XML file so this IF statement works. I would like to have the maximum limit update dynamically when the XML file has images added or subtracted to/from it.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Text Formats Dynamically?

Jan 25, 2011

I have a little issue im trying to resolve. Basically i want to inherit the embedded text format properties from one text field which i have off the stage (empty) to another text field i have on stage. Ive came across the function of getTextFormat(), however when i try to apply this to the other text field it doesnt work:

ActionScript Code:
onStageTextField.getTextFormat(offStageTextField);

Ive embedded italics into my test field which is off stage. I guess im doing this completely wrong?! I know i could simply create a new TextFormat() then apply that to the text field but is there a way of inheriting the format properties of one tex tfield to another on stage?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Setting Line Height / Kearning?

I keep feeling like this is just a case of not RTFM hard enough, but I'm just not seeing the answer. Is there a way to use AS3 to dynamically set leading in a dynanmic text field?I've found the getLineMetrics function, which returns a TextLineMetrics instance. This instance can tell me what my leading already is, but when I try to change the value I see nothing change onscreen. Likewise, I don't see any setLineMetrics function to go along with the text field. Is there just no way to change it?

Actionscript 3 :: Cast A Variable As A Type Dynamically?

Is it possible to cast a variable as a type dynamically, where the type would be a variable of type Class? Consider the following (invalid):

For context: I'm working in Flex (4) to create a modal manager that will control various aspects of creating modals (via PopUpManager) and I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. Components would be passed through the same functions, and rather than allowing any type of variable to be cast, eg:

Lets call it "ball_mc"-= child.swf gets loaded into parent.swfWhat I want:-= once child.swf is loaded I want to change ball_mc from a ball_mc:MovieClip to all_mc:MyCustomObject-= Then I want to be able to call ball_mc.init() (init() would be a public function in MyCustomObject.as)Why I want to do this:-= I dont want to import MyCustomObject.as directly into the child.swf. This is because there will be LOTS of child.swfs (child1.swf - childN.swf) If the .as is imported directly into each of these AND the MyCustomObject.as changes I have to re-publish ALL the child.swfs so that they publish with the new code... Right.MAIN QUESTIONs:-= whats the best way to go about doing this??

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 - Setting X Property Of Dynamically Created MovieClip

Feb 28, 2007

Long time listener, first time caller here. I'm having trouble with how Flash sets the _x property of a dynamically created movieclip. If I create a rectangle on the stage using the Drawing API:

Code:
//for the purposes of this example, assign a value to i
var i:Number = 0;
//assign var squareName
var squareName:String = "square" + i;
//create an empty movieclip named [squareName] at depth 1
this.createEmptyMovieClip([squareName], 1);
[Code] .....

I'm not new to Flash by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never come up against this problem before. For context, I'm actually getting my feet wet with the Tween class, and am having trouble animating dynamically created movieclips due to this confusion with coordinates. When I tween a dynamically created clip from one set of coordinates to another, they are offset by the movieclip's _x and _y properties starting at 0, 0, rather than their actual position on stage.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Component Properties Of Dynamically Created Movieclip?

Mar 2, 2008

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.

Here is the example:

My Class for the user interface:

Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Variable Property For Dynamically Created Textfield?

Dec 22, 2004

i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.

here's a small piece of code i can't get working:

//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input

[Code].....

bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX2004] Setting Event Handler For Dynamically Created Buttons

May 23, 2005

I'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.

Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.

e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}

In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.
