ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Naming The Mcs From An Array W/ AttachMovie?
Nov 28, 2002
ok, that's some basic question but it's 4 am, I can't find the answer in the tutz and I'm starting to get a headache...I'm creating some mc's on the stage with the attachMovie function in a loop. I have no problem naming them like that:foo.attachMovie("myClip", "myClip"+i, 200+i);But I need to name them with part of an array like that:foo.attachMovie("myClip", "myClip"+array[i]+"_mc", 200+i);I thought that would work but I guess my synthax is wrong... How do you mix strings and arrays elements inside the () of the attachMovie?

I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:
var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

I thought that there was a way to be able to name array indexes. Like instead of myArray[0], it could be myArray["tileFour"]. I thought that instead of using index numbers one could use index words.

I made a thread a couple days ago, but dont think i explained the problem well enough. What im trying to do is name each of the children.
Child 0 = A
Child 1 = B
Child 2 = C
all the way to Z. Then start at A again.
ActionScript Code:
function moveBubble(Event) { // This function handles the movement of the bubbles
if (!inPlay) return;

I've got about 50 buttons onstage with names like btn1a_mc, btn2B_mc, etc. Each one loads an external swf (called "Monosem1Aslideshow.swf", where the "1A" corresponds to the button name.) into a movieclip holder called slideHolder_mc. I'm trying to use an array instead of writing code for each button. I'm using the following:
Code:
buttonNumber = ["1A", "2B", "3C", "4D", "1E", "2F", "3G"];
for(i=0; i<buttonNumber.length; i++){
var btnName:String = "btn"+[i]+"_mc";
[Code].....
But I can't seem to get it to work.

I am trying to attachMovie from array.
Here it goes like this:
----------------------
var __reg3 = new Array ("1", "2", "3", "4");
_root.p1.attachMovie(__reg3[0] + 1, "run1", 1); -- Not working
Then I tried using string:
test1:String = __reg3[0] + 1
_root.p1.attachMovie('"+'test1+'"', "run1", 1); -- Not working
Then I tried this
_root.p1.attachMovie(" "" +test1+" "", "run1", 1); -- Not working
Then used this:
qt:String = '"';
_root.p1.attachMovie(qt+test1+qt, "run1", 1); -- Not working
But when I use like this, its working:
_root.p1.attachMovie("3", "run1", 1); -- working.

I'm developing a game and the objective is to drag some objects to a container. Some objects add points, and some other subtract points. So, all the objects are in the library and have a linkage name to be called by attachMovie. I want to create an Array with all the objects that belong to container, like for example filename1 = ["obj1", "obj2", "obj3"]; etc... I have a var called count1 that defines the number of objects to appear on the Scene

i have an array of coins that are layed out on a map for a character to come pick up.i have the coins displaying on screen but i cant get a simple hit test to work. it only seems to work on the last coin created, i presume because the 'i' value hasnt been appended to the name. i knew how to do this in as2 but dont know the syntax for as3. ive attached the file for you to have a look at.
code:
rectangle_mc.startDrag();
rectangle_mc.x = mouseX;
rectangle_mc.y = mouseY;

Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

I am wanting to create an array. 10 values in it (couting from 0 index to 9). Each 'place holder' will have a corresponding value to it;s index i.e.
myArray[0]=0
myArray[1]=1 etc...
I can do that in a for loop. But then I want to attach each value to a single variable name. I then want to change that each variable to a string. I then want access to all the variables outside of the for loop.
var i:Number;
var aArray:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
[code]....
The output error is 1084: expecting identifier before aArray.

I'm working on a framework for game development in flash and I'm wondering if there's an accepted naming scheme for the main tick / update method name and a name for the functions to call before and after?I can think of:
onPreTick(), onTick() and onPostTick()
onPreFrame(), onFrame(), and onPostFrame()
onPreUpdate(), onUpdate(), and onPostUpdate()
