ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Up A Keypad Navigated Button Menu Using An Array
Aug 23, 2009
I've gotten code that would circle through this with menu without an array, but I have been looking trying to complete it for the sake of better learning about arrays.
I have 3 buttons and I want to use the up, down, arrow keys to cycle through the buttons. So far I have the code to switch the up state once they are clicked on but I am unsure how to incorporate the navigational aspect into the array and have it cycle through.
Below I have posted my file with actionscript. Here is the actionscript set up right now:
[AS]btn1.gotoAndStop(1);
btn2.gotoAndStop(1);
btn3.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code]....

I'm having trouble creating a simple menu that you navigate with keys, rather than just a bunch of buttons you navigate with the mouse. What I want is a nice, easy way to make menus, where you have 1 item selected, and you can navigate around to the others with the keyboard.You need to be able to move up, down, left and right. If you go too far over, it returns you to the other side. know this should be really simple, but I can't seem to be able to create a simple function that will work for this. I have tried a bunch of nonsense, but I figure there's probably an easy way that everyone uses. Unfortunatly, whenever you search "menu" in any flash tutorial site, it brings up a bunch of tutorials on button menus.

1) Using the number keypad, the user pushes a series of numbers to an array.
2) Lookup() is called to identify which "code" has been entered.
Code:
myArray:Array= new Array(1,2,3,4);
lookup();
function lookup() {
switch (myArray) {

I'm making an application that uses a branching tree type structure, and need to get the buttons to refer to and be able to manipulate individual XML nodes. I tried putting a button reference directly in the XML and setting the reference to that node with the event data, but it didn't work, because the XML didn't recognize the event.currentTarget as an actual button, so couldn't find the node that contained the click target. I assume there is a standard way to do this, since it's so common. Just for clarity, the tree will basically look like this:
PrimaryNode1
Subnode1
Subnode1a
[code]....
I need to be able to keep track of which subnode goes where for determining other data as well as graphically positioning the node and subnode data); PrimaryNode2 etc., with add and expand buttons. I can't set static references, since all of the nodes are added through the program depending on if they're needed. I tried doing this with multidimensional arrays, but since I want each level to be theoretically (but not practically) infinite with infinite subnodes, checking through the arrays got kind of messy. I just figured there has to be a standard way to set this up, since it's so common.

I'm trying to build a flash keypad that fills in input text boxes when you press a button.I have two input text fields. I can assign each button a number and tell it to display that number in the text field when pressed. for example:
Code:
but1.onPress=function(){
InputText1.text += 1
}
[code]....
I can't seem to get the buttons to fill in the second text field.

The first on is using the Tweener class and everytime that I press a button it fades out the loaded content of the previous selection, waits for it to finish and then loads the content of the button pressed. Everything works fine with this part.
The second code is the on that is using an Array to dynamicaly rollover, rollout and keep selected the buttons.It was also changing the content of the mc that everything is loaded on but without this fancy fade in - fade out..
Code:
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.Strong;
var FADEINSTART:Number = 2;
[code]....
Ive managed to make the previous mc to fade out but cant really make everything work properly..

Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
// Import the Menu control.
import mx.controls.Menu;

I have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?

I am making a simple application, 4 pages of information with the navigation buttons in a bar along the bottom of all four pages. (easy right!)
My problem is, i won't the information (pics,videos etc) to animate into each page when selected.
I can make them animate in by using the gotoAndPlay () method. BUT when i do this it just loops through all the remaining pages till the end.
gotoAndStop () doesn't play the animations, but the navigation works find.

I need to create a simple keypad. When using an embedded font in a dymanic text field I'm getting a strange result. I'm using .appendText in a function like this for each of the numbers:
function button1Press(event:MouseEvent):void {
MySolution.appendText("1");
}
[Code]....
In most cased when I press a second button, both numbers change to the second button that was pressed. Press the two and "2" is displayed. Then press four and it changes to "44". When using system fonts this doesn't occurr. This behavior only happens on the iPad. It's fine in the test window on my computer.

I'm creating a onscreen keypad and so far Ive got this code which only outputs single values - Im looking to get it so each time you click the button ,it adds the value to the previous value like entereing a password.[code]I was thinking it might be easier creating a string variable and updating the string with every click of each value.

I have a project that involves taking user input from a keyboard/numeric keypad. The script I wrote detects when the user actually enters a numeral in the text area, and replaces it with step-by-step with a series of letters and numbers in a similar fashion to keypad input on a phone. Everyone else's solution assumes that the user is A.) On an actual mobile device, and B.) That the LAST character is the one that should be replaced in the series.
Whereas, in my case, the user can use standard keyboard/numeric keypad input. Moreover, the caret should be able to move to any arbitrary position within a given string of text, and not just to the end of that string. My script works for the most part, except for some reason, the caret advances on its own without me/the user telling it to, and from what I can see, there's nothing in the code to allow for this:
Code:
var _1:String = "1@._-";
var _2:String = "2abc";
var _3:String = "3def";
var _4:String = "4ghi";
var _5:String = "5jkl";
[Code] .....
Lastly; my code does not account for when a user presses a DIFFERENT number than the one that they are currently pressing--in which case the caret should naturally advance automatically to allow for a new numeral to be inserted. My example is attached.

I'm interested in creating number/telephone keypad, but I can get multiple numbers to append to each other. I creating a simple little app where the user "punches in" an amount from an on-screen number keypad. When the user presses 5-0-0, I'd like it to set the variable to "500".
The only method I'v tried (or know how to do) is:
on(press){set("varNumber1",1)} - But this only allows me one number at a time.
Is there any exisiting code out there - how to append the numbers to each other.

I'm building a website that has the option of using the keypad to navigate the menu. If I test in flash I can use the keypad right at the beginning (if I press the right arrow it expands the first menu). However once I upload the sight, I have to click on the screen before I can activate the event listener. I use a seperate swf to preload it but even that when I test in flash works off the bat when the right arrow key is pressed.

I would not have asked the question if I owned an iphone, but so far I only have an android phone for development.
The question is: Should I use the View.viewMenuItems that are provided by flex mobile? Or should I better embed the functionality in another way? I don't know what possibilities might exist on iphone to open the menu, because it has no hardware button "menu".
By the way: How could I open the menu in the Flash-Builder mobile device emulator - there are no buttons, too..

I have an array which is filled up when someone clicks on a button.
something like this:
Code:
var ThumbArray:Array = new Array();
//on click, adds new value like this
ThumbArray[ThumbArray.length] = [productid.text, viewID.text, price.text]
I limit it to a maximum of 14 values.I now need to know a good way to set a variable equal to the value of a row of the array - but if there is no value then it becomes "0"
So this is my code so far
Code:
theVariables.varMat1 = ThumbArray[0][1];
theVariables.varMat2 = ThumbArray[1][1];
theVariables.varMat3 = ThumbArray[2][1];
theVariables.varMat4 = ThumbArray[3][1];

I have an array that I have set up that would go with a series of movie clips, and I am trying to combine them with functions that upload xml pictures--firstImage(), secondImage(), and so forth.
Here is the array that I have:
Code:
var currentButtonId:Number = 0;
var buttons:Array = [btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4, btn5, btn6];
function buttonRelease() {
[Code]....
It enables and disables the movieclips depending on which one is clicked. But I want to make the xml functions (firstImage(), secondImage()...) go with the buttons in sequence. So once btn1 gets pressed the firstImage() xml function gets called.

I am building a menu and for each button of the menu, subbuttons apear beneath it along the menu. And I am having some problems. Each of the menu buttons has animations for rollOver and rollOut. What can I do so that when I move over the subbuttons the menu button won't start the rollOut animation. I have to extend the hit state. If I put the subbuttons in the same movie clip as the menu button, the animation would be bad because I am doing width, height, x and y tweenings with ActionScript and addind something the the clip would change these properties. Pls help.
Is it possible to extend the hit state of the menu button in some way ?

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I have as3 script that successfully displays an array of MovieClips, the MCs have variable xy positions, and in some cases they overlap each other. I have a function within the array that I can't quite figure out. Here's what I'd like the function to do: When the cursor rolls over a particular MC displayed by the array,I'd like that MC to be brought to the front of the others. This is my script:
var myArray:Array = new Array(); for(var i:int=0; i<8; i++) { myArray[i]= new myImage();addChild(myArray[i]);myArray[i].x = 180*i;myArray[i].y = 330;myArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , overlap);
function overlap (event:MouseEvent):void
{trace('function triggered on image ' + i);
