ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Create New Labels Dynamically In For Loop
Nov 16, 2006
I am trying to write code to read from an xml file which i have done succesfully and create new labels each time the code loops that would have as text the data in the xml file. I want the first label to have as text Kelly Maker, the 2nd as Mike Grundvig and so on.I also want all the labels to move across the stage just as the first one does. What I have now is a single text that shows the last name which is Freed Maker. I tried using the duplicateMovieClip but all it did was to create 2 static labels (that dont move as I want it) that have as text undefined.
XML
<MyFriends>
<Name Gender="female">Kelly Makar</Name>
<Name Gender="male">Mike Grundvig</Name>
<Name Gender="male">Free Makar</Name>
<Name Gender="male">Freed Makar</Name>

I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it. I need a way to either assign button labels like the 4 text boxes below or make it so the textboxes do not interfere with clicking the button?
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "http://localhost/connect.php";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
[Code]....
Update: I found the following to change the label, however I am confused as how I do this to buttons I have already created, perhaps using the instance name?
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Click me";

I am new to flash and action script - My target is to make a website with flash. Everything was good until I get to the actions step. I need to create animation with pictures. I am using labels, so when you are on some label and pressing to move to other one it have to create sorting animation which exactly contains the image you have now and to change it to new image of the pressed label.

I would like to create a custom Button component with three labels: left-, center-, and right-justified. I can't just use the label justification property, because I want to use all 3 labels at the same time.
I'm familiar with creating custom components, but I've never tried to build one quite like this before...
Here's what I have so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Button
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
[Code]....
The labels won't change after the button is created, so I'm not worried about the missing [Bindable] metadata.
I'm stuck right now, getting the following compiler error:
Multiple initializer values for default property, 'label', of type 'String'.
...for each of the 3 <s:Label> lines.
Based on this answer to a similar question, I tried adding label="" to my <s:Button> declaration, but that just adds another error.

I'm trying to create simple custom component with two labels with this MXML:
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="250" height="30">
<mx:String id="result" />
<mx:Label x="5" y="7" id="titleLabel" text="{label}" width="120"/>
<mx:Label x="125" y="7" id="resultLabel" text="{result}" width="120" textAlign="right" color="#A41D00"/>
</mx:Canvas>
It is working well at runtime, bud I have troubles making it working at design-time. How can I make databinding work at the design time? If it is impossible, how should I code the label text assignments?

I'm basically creating a huge slideshow presentation for a live show. I decided to put everything into 1 huge fla/swf so that it is more manageable in the future.With AS3, I have made it so that when the user presses the right arrow key, it will seek out the requested frame label and play the next slide.This works well.However,some of the frames need to be played again in later slides.So I would prefer to reuse those frames again, instead of copying and pasting them 10 times.When I do that though,I have no way of switching to the next slide, as I've already set the nextframetoplay variable in my class.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this? Should I perhaps create the screens and just create a holder and use addChild to play them instead of jumping to the frame labels?

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have a little problem with a loop. I recieve som data from a database and gets it back as an array. I then use a loop to add movieclips dynamicly and this works fine to, but if i try to trace the id from an onRelease function i get an undefines, but when i dot it outside the onRelease it works fine. This is the code. Its in a class by the way.

I am trying to load a group of thumbnails using Moviecliploader within a class function. Only the last image is loaded onto the stage. can anyone point me in the right direction, I have been wrestling with this for a couple of days. I have tried it with a single loader... loaders created in the loop, stored in an array...
and loaders as a child of the dynamically created image+x clip (ie. _level0.Gallery.image1.image & _level0.Gallery.image1.mcLoader)

I am reading in collection objects from an XML file. Each collection has an img field that stores a URL to the collection image. So I am trying to load the images of each collection, storing each image in a MovieClip, and add these MovieClips to the stage. However, my problem is that after adding a MovieClip (with the collection image) to the stage, when a new MovieClip is created in my 'for each' loop it overrites the previous MovieClip. So the images I am adding to the stage are being replaced by the following collection's image on each loop iteration. What can I do to avoid this?

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:

After loading the movieclips and text boxes dynamically I now need to get the movieclips to perform a unique function when they are pressed, for testing purposes I am using the getURL funciton and linking to the boxNo. This is just so I can see what is going on!At the moment they are all linking to the boxNo that is pulled from the last run of the loop.
for (var i = 0; i < loc.length; i++)
{
var boxNo = loc[i].location_ID;;

I need to dynamically increase and decrease the alpha value in a "for loop" like shown belowfor example if the 'for loop' is for 5 times and the alpha i need to change is "x" then
loop 1 --> x = 0.3;

I've got a weird problem that could probably be easily fixed if I weren't such a novice coder. I'm loading external jpegs into movie clips that are within a movie clip which is within another movie clip (because they are animated as a whole within the other movie clips). The XML loads fine. The "Image" class I've made up is defined. The attributes from the XML load into the array of images.
However, I can't loop through the movieclips to actually load the images. But if I define manually the movie clip loads it loads perfectly. Here is the code that loads the images successfully, but not 100% dynamically:
ActionScript Code:
// Define the Images Array
var ImageArray:Array = new Array();

i am loading several images from an XML path into a flash movie and i want to dynamically create image loader variables for them. Here is my code so far:
Code:
var xmlData:XMLList;
var myXML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
method and this doesn't work for me either, i'm guessing thats because it is in the AS2 forum.

I'm trying to create a slideshow which loads images dynamically from a folder on my server. The number of images in the folder will change on a daily basis, so I'm guessing that this needs some kind of array to predetermine the contents of the folder. The files will not have a regimented naming structure.
Basically, I need to display all of the images in the folder one by one and then loop back to the start.
Has anyone managed to do this before?

I am building a grid of buttons dynamically in a for loop from XML. I am then assigning them button.label and button.name from the array. The grid appears, the buttons have the right label, the event.target.name method produces the name on the button in a trace. Now how do I attach that to a function dynamically? I need the name of the button to call the next step.
