If I have 16 buttons inside a for loop, how would I trace back the number that was pressed.
NumPageButtons = 16
for(i=1; i<=NumPageButtons; i++){
tempMC = eval("page"+i+"_mc")
[Code]......
when I do a trace it gives me 16 not the number (current button ) that was pressed
man this site is awsome, i have learned so much. but unfortunantly i have run into a new problem. i have
for (f=0; f<10; f++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.guy, "guy"+f, f);
}
for (s=0; s<50; s++) {
[Code]...
only problem is, is that when the movies get duplicated, the numbers aren't right (ive done some testing and found that it is almost as if it is keeping the same variable in all the loops as the same, and is running the loops backwards (wierd)) anyways, apparently i dont know the for loop as good as i thought. i have tried rereading the for explenation, but nothin is clicking as to what i am doing wrong. any help or explenation would be great. (also, as a side question/statement-when i duplicate movieclips, they dont keep thier instante name in the duplicated ones, which is bad becuase i need to do hitTest and other things with the duplicated movieclips. any help with this would be great)
i want to do is loop through an array of items, Each item has an image attached to it.

View 1 RepliesThis is part of a large quiz I am building. The three choices here are part of a group of three from which you should only choose one. If so the other two are enabled=false.I can't change the method only modify since it is part of a much larger app that is runnung fine. So no radio buttons or codeing on maintimeline.
If you run the attached simple FLA and select the first choice you can see the enabled=false that is on the voted and pass framesworks fine, however if you choose the second the first is only disabled and the third is enabled and as logic would have it if you choose the third the first and second are enabled.The idea is to make it so the user can only choose one the other two are disabled while still having the choice to deselect.

View 1 RepliesI am building a photo gallery in which the images are loaded into a frame_mc and the thumbs are loaded into a movieclip called thumbLoader. The gallery is going to have several categories, every category has its own button and is found on a separate keyframe on the main timeline. When I click the button of a specific category it goes to the appropriate category/gallery. I have a questions:I want to create a horizontal scroll pane for the category buttons but I really do not know the code. For a start, I know I'm going to make the buttons as movie clips, and the scroll pane has to scroll those movie clips. I want to have 2 direction buttons, one that scrolls the category buttons to the right, and the other one to the left.
View 2 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is make a preloader that will preload about 20 external SWF files before it lets you get to my main file. I want to do this because my main file needs the SWFs to be ready to go once its done loading. I have looked around and i found a few ways to do this with the "if (loadedBytes>=totalBytes)" and the code loops back till the files are done loading... this would be just what i need but i cant seem to get it to work. the file just seems to start loading my files but does not loop and just runs the time-line even once i state what frames i want it to loop.

the code within the rollover/rollout function doesn't work. It does work when outside of the function or when the code doesnt use "g".Is this because once inside the rollover/out function it always brings back the last value of "g" ... in this case 20?[URL]
I created a menu of invisible movieclips (from a library item with the class name Invis) with buttonmode set to true so that I can have them send the playhead to different labels on the main timeline.I could use some help with determining which button is clicked and then placing code that executes depending on which button is clicked.Here is what I have so far on frame 1 of my timeline:[code]

I have several buttons on stage (8), and I want to add a slighty different action for everyone of them. How do I do that, All the buttons always get the last past of the "FOR"..
Code:
function loadThumbs(eventoUrl:String) {
for(i=1; i<=9; i++) {
temp = this["thumb_"+i];
with (temp) {
image = "fotos/"+eventoUrl+"/thumbs/"+i+".jpg";
loadImages(image, temp);
temp.onRollOver = function() {
this.play();};
temp.onPress = function() {
this.loadImages(image, image_big);
};};};};
loadImages() is a LoadMovieClip type function I created.
I had the following script which worked fine for my buttons which were sitting on the stage and are called 'btn1', 'btn2', etc... However I wanted to animate all the buttons so have put them all into a movie clip called buttons, but now my script doesn't work, I have tried changing all the this targets to _root.buttons.this,
Code:
numOfBtn = 5;
stop();

i have this from as2, where i can create many buttons on stage and loop. then create a function that applys to all the buttons
Code:
for (var i = 1; i <= 3; i++)

bt = this["button" + i];

In AS2 I used to be able to set up a FOR loop that would program sequential buttons. Now, I'm trying to do it with AS3 and I can't seem to get the function-part right. The last function is the only one that works. Here's some sample code...
PHP Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<3; i++) {
this["quiz"+i+"_mc"].go_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goButtonEvent);

I have this for loop that is basically pulling some info from an xml file and putting it in a list box. And for each item in the xml, it also adds 2 radio buttons.Everything is working properly except all the radio buttons have the same y location, and i want them to be spaced apart, not on top of each other.I have tried messing around with the y location (rb1.y+105, etc) but I'm not having any luck.
for (var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++) {
lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()[i],
label:il.title.text()[i]});

I'm trying to update a series of buttons with a for loop automatically. These buttons will have a somewhat fixed instance names like btn1,btn2,btn3,btn4.My problem is i don't know how to reference the button names with a dynamic variable appended..I have something simple like this, but can someone point me in the correct direction for the syntax please?[code]

this.onEnterFrame = function () {[code]....

I have this little loop that creates buttons. My aim is to change value of variable 'thevalue' on everytime button is pressed, first button should give value 0, second 1, third 2 and so on.

value1= xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[jo].attributes.value;
