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.
Code:
for (jo=0; jo<xmlData.firstChild.childNodes.length; jo++) {
value1= xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[jo].attributes.value;
_root.attachMovie("button", jo, (1000-jo), {_x:20, _y:20+(jo*20)});

I've gotten these sliders to work but can't get the output values to add up. For instance, depending on the values for slider 1, 2 and 3, I need the total to show up in a separate text box. I keep getting a NaN message in the text box.Here's the code I have so far:
//item 1
sliderOne.width = 600;
sliderOne.value = 0;[code].....
I just started working with CS4 / as3 and I'm working on extracting simple text from an xml file. I got the code off youtube, and it seems that even after copying this guys code line for line, it doesnt work. More speficially, the trace/output doesnt want to output variables. I did use trace("hello") and that worked fine, so its not the omit output option, but it just wont display the values from variables.[code]...

View 4 RepliesI have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

i have a drag and drop exercise that will output a value based on the drop positions of 2 points. What I would like is to be able to add a button that basically has a whole new set of outputs based on the same drop positions. Here is an example. If I place an object on drop target 1 and 3. The output says something like "good job". Now if I click a button and place and object on 1 and 3 the output would say "try again".
View 4 RepliesThis includes some code and some traced output. I've been looking at this for 2 days and it stupifies me. I'll elaborate: There is a game object, its a dictionary object containing a screen tile with index/name tile_x_y So i can look it up using the x and y coords. The object contains lost of stuff but in this case especially: x, y , width, height, xtile, ytile (self explanatory i assume) & xmove, ymove (-1,0,1 depending on direction.)
So, now these objects move around the screen (yes its just a game) and check if they hit the screen bounds and if they try to move onto tiles that are occupied/non traversable. It goes fine for most objects but sometimes, or for some objects (no clue why and it changes on restart), halfway the boundaries check, the object internal x and y values go ballistic and i end up with a reference error on the dictionary object because tile 280 30 just doesnt exist.

Why does for in loop show different results in as2 and as3

I have a loop that is supposed to run a set of functions and output movieclips on a main movieclip. Each of these smaller movieclip is supposed to be a tile. The code below is supposed to make 50 movieClips each one from a different reference on the tileSheet. However it outputs 50 of the exact same movieclips.
Code:
var tDMax:int = 50;
//Start Get tiles
function getTiles():void{
tList.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
tList.graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth * 5, tHeight * 10);
[Code].....
Strange enough whatever I made tDMax which is supposed to be the limit for the loop, that's what all the movieclips become. For example if I put it at 25, then all the movieClips become tiles from the bitmap sheet reference # 25. That leads me to think that it's not passing the variable to the functions correctly, and it's only doing it once the loop finishes. But when I trace things like rowT and colT the references to the bitmap are correctly. And when I trade tn within the other functions that's always correct also..
How can I reorganise the code below so the trace commands output i for each element in the photourls array and not just the last element? In a 6 element array, the trace(i); line outputs 5,5,5,5,5,5 rather than 0,1,2,3,4,5.

I'm trying to Have multiple buttons that when clicked on, they display a text unique to each button. I don't want it to simply throw a textfield on top of the old one but rather to hide the other text field and insert a new one.
ActionScript Code:
var fl_TF:TextField;
var fl_TextToDisplay:String = "Text 1";
var fl_TextToDisplay2:String = "Text 2";
[code]....
Clicking on 'button', it displays the proper text.Then when I click on 'hider' button, it displays the right text and takes the text from 'button' away.However, the file crashes when I click on 'hider' first. Also, clicking on 'button' a second time doesn't take away the text that 'hider' symbol produces.

I have a movie clip (mc_moviegroup) which is made of a group of many dynamic text fields. I want to loop through the dynamic text field children of mc_moviegroup and pull out their text values in a string. Does a movie clip have a property which gives the number of it's children movieclips?
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of thumb mc instances on my stage, using the same mc symbol. They're all sized differently so the widths(which are same as heights) vary.I want to be able to access their width value from an array independent of all the scaling I'm doing with rollovers. That is, I need to have each mc instance's original width accessible from anywhere in my code.The simplest way to do this is to hard code an array, like:
var Twidth:Array = new Array();
Twidth[0] = "33";
Twidth[1] = "45";[code]....
But since I have 22 thumbs and several portfolios, and want the option of changing their original sizes on the stage, I want to create the array above on the fly using information in a loop. For instance, I already have a loop in a function called generateThumbs(). Here's what I've tried:
for (var i = 0; i<total; i++) {
Twidth = new Array();
Twidth[i] = this["thumb_mc"+i]._width;[code]....
for trace on the first method, replacing 'i' with the key I want (Twidth[2]):
undefined
undefined
45
undefined
undefined
As you can see, this gives me non-indexed non-delimited value for the whole loop (the actual in my real movie is 22). There's no length or array because its actually just one value. Entering a number in the key will display a bunch of undefined with one defined. I have no way of extracting that one key without getting all the other undefined values.my question is: How do I put 'this["thumb_mc"+i]._width' values into a loop with each value indexed for the rest of my functions to access?
I have a array of categories, for e.g.
var categoryArray = new Array('value1', 'value2', 'value3');
I would like to loop and create new arrays from each of the values in the categoryArray I tried...
for(var i=0;i<=categoryArray.length-1;i++){
this[categoryArray[i]] = new Array();
}
value1[0] = "dsfsdf";
trace(value1[0]);
It doesn't seem to work.
DISCLAIMER: relatively new to Flex/AS3, I might be missing something obvious. After doing some research it appears that using the for(var property:String in object) does not guarantee the enumeration order of properties, however it doesn't say anything about modifying the VALUE that property points to as changing the for...in loop.
[Code]...
As a solution I can create a temp object to store the data while doing the loop on the original object, and then replace the original object with the modified data, but I'd like to know what exactly is going on.
So my question is, does the value of object property modify the looping order of the for...in construct? And if so, should it or is this a bug?

This one is tripping me up. I'm creating a simple 10 question 'quiz' with simple "yes" or "no" radio buttons for each question. If they picked "yes" the value is 5, while "no" is 0. I want them to be able to choose all of the answers and then click submit. On submit it would add up all the answers and save that number as a variable named "score".
I know how to setup all of the radio button groups, calling each group question1, question2, question3 etc and giving the values to each yes and no radio button. I just don't know how to capture the values on submit, add them up and save to a variable.
