ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Naming The Mcs From An Array With AttachMovie?

May 9, 2010

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 need to get something like: myClipArrayElement1_mc for the name of the attached movies...

Array's And MovieClips - Use The Naming Conventions Of An Array?

Nov 18, 2009

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)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array For Naming Buttons And Loading Movies

Nov 30, 2010

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 have a var called count1 that defines the number of objects to appear on the Scene

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.

AS3 :: Variable Naming With Loops And Arrays?

Aug 1, 2009

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.
