ActionScript 2.0 :: Addressing - Dynamically Pass A Movieclips Name To A Function
May 17, 2005
i have this on my buttons (movieclips):
[Code]...
on rollOver i want to dynamically pass a movieclips name to a function which controls that the movieclip should goto its frame named "over", but i cant get the adressing to work. if i trace the variable "name" in the example it gives me the moviename correctly. so i guess my syntax is wrong. the function doesnt work with the path variable either. i know this might be a stupid question. dont mind me, i'm a noob.

what I'm trying to do is access the data of several movies clips, that are inside of several other movie clips:
MC1.insideMC1._visible=false (which works, but isn't dynamic)
but dynamically with a FOR loop. I've tried:
For(bullet=1; bullet<5; bullet++){
"MC"+bullet.insideMC1._visible=false (this does not work)
}

i have this on my buttons (movieclips):
on (rollOver) {
name=this._name;
path=this._target;
_root.push (name, path);
}
on the timeline i have the function:
_root.push = function (name, path){
trace(name);
name.gotoAndPlay("over");
}

I am trying to dynamically add to the targetpath of objects that I pass into a function. I am not sure if this can be done but the following code kinda explains best what I am trying to do.
Code: Select allvar mc1:MovieClip = new MC();
var mc2:MovieClip = new MC();
var arr:Array = new Array(mc1, mc2);
[Code]....
So mc1 and mc2 are both created by objects that are instantiated from library. It contains nested children "mc2.mc3.textField". How I might be able to dynamically refer to the path of a MovieClip

Is there (or what is the) best method to address duplicated movieclips? For example if you duplicate a number of movieclips (or attach or anything else) through a for loop and give them names like mc1, mc2, etc, how can you address them outside the loop? Especially if the number of times you duplicate the clips is read from a file which can change constantly. Example - an image gallery where you just add the files to your xml and they show up in the gallery.

I am trying to make some way of addressing a movieclip but I want it to be able to change. I have a for loop which is creating a new movieclip instances until it is equal to or less than my arrays length. Well it makes all these and it names them test0 test1 test2 test3.. and so on. Now I am trying to write a loop that address all of them, the only problem is I dont know how to use a variable to address them, or some work around to do so.

I am loading an external XML file. According to the information loaded from the file I would like to highlight a symbol (MovieClip) when I press a corresponding button. The Button and the MovieClip change every time I load a new XML, so it has to be dynamic.I tried the following, but that doesn't work, does anyone know why?I have an Array defined (a_HighlightArray) that I fill within a loop to hold the object (as a string! ) that is supposed to be highlighted when I press the corresponding button:
a_HighlightArray[i] = "o_Map.o_Privatwelt.o_Layer4";
Later, when I want to address the Symbol I am using the following (where Quest corresponds to the No of the button I pressed):
[a_HighlightArray[Quest]]gotoAndStop(2);
There is no error that comes up but it just doesn't do what expected. Strangely enough, if I address the Symbol directly it works perfectly fine:
o_Map.o_Privatwelt.o_Layer4.gotoAndStop(2);

I using a loop to dynamically create some movieclips and then position them using the ._height and .width values.
When they are created I use a Listener and LoadInit, to check that everything has loaded. I do this because I want to be able to access the ._height properties of the movieclip in order to place them next to each other and centre them vertically.
If I place the following 3 lines outside the function:
inBead._x = currentPosition;
//gets the start position
currentPosition = currentPosition+Number(mainLoader._width);
//gets the position and adds the width of the movieclip

So I've got this function to make a sprite walk:
[Code]....
But what do I have to do to get the function to adress various versions, such as
chibi.bluejeans1.rtleg._y = 4 + walk; chibi.bluejeans1.ltleg._y = 5 - walk;
so that I can address each type for walking accordingly, through something like
wlk(tunicpants1);
wlk(bluejeans1);
wlk(tuxedopants1);

I haven't been able to find the answer to this: I'm working with a var defined in the main timeline var score:int; , wich I use in 10 different movie clips using var score = MovieClip(this.root).score; Everything works perfect on the first MovieClip, but when the next one plays score does not keep the value assigned in the previous MovieClip therefore the score is lost.
The clips are questions and they are place on the main time line in different frames and main time line actions layer which only contains this:
stop();
var score:int;
nextQuestion.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newQuestion);
function newQuestion(evt:MouseEvent):void { nextFrame();}
covers each frame with every different MovieClip.
What I need to know is how to make that value pass to the next Movie Clip?

I'm having some trouble passing parameters with a function that is itself being passed as a parameter.In my application code I'm instancing that class five times:they are buttons in a menu.In that class, I've got an onRelease handler that does a number of things when a button is released, one of which is to invoke a function that is defined in the application level of the code.My problem is that I don't know how to send the function parameters.In my StandardButton class I have:
class StandardButton extends MovieClip
{
/* define properties */[code]..........
The function is successfully being "sent" to the StandardButton class, but without any parameters.How can I send parameters to the class instance with the way I've got this architected.

I have a custom class that animates a set of movie clips. Something like coverFlow or Carosell. What I want to do is pass a array of all the movie clips to be used by the class. I am not sure an array is the best solution but it makes sense to me. The class will not always know how many movieclips are being passed so with an array I can get the lenght and deal with it. here is the instaciation code of my class mBack and mFront are movie clips on the stage.[code]I get this error Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@113d2061 to Array.it kinda of makes sense why I got the error but if this is not correct how do I pass a list of mc's to my class.

I have a mc (changeColorMc) and three movieclips. The three movieclips are created on the fly (so there could be more movieclips) and filled with a color from an Array. This works fine.
Now I want to add an eventlistener for each movieclip, so when someone push one of the movieclips the movieclip with the name "changeColorMc" gets that same color from the colorArray.
My question is: How can I pass the color value from the colorArray to the buttonPressed function? Is this possible?
I was also thinking that I had to create three buttonPressed functions ie. buttonPressed1, buttonPressed2 and buttonPressed3 and attach these to the created movieclips.. but how? Because I don't know up front how many movieclips there will be..

I'm doing a basic site with frame labels on the main timeline whose name corresponds to the btn names. A simple otoAndPlay(evt.target.name); I have a basic navigation setup of 7 mcs with mouse eventlisteners for CLICK, ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.
Example:
prepare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);plans.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);retire.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
[Code]....
Does anyone know a better way to do this so when my mcs are clicked they display the rollover content/art? In essence I'm trying to achieve that when the user clicks a btn it goes to that "page" and the corresponding btn stays highlighted. Pretty standard web navigation technique but I just don't know what the best way to do this in flash is and with how my site is setup.

I have a Tree, which has an itemRenderer. On the itemRenderer, driven by the XML conditions, objects are created dynamically and added as a children to nodes. These new objects shall trigger an event handler ( some click events mostly ). How do I pass the event handler to the tree and later to the dynamically created new objects inside itemRendere?
Something like:
<mx:Tree x="534" y="49" newObjectsOnClick="newObjectsOnClickHandler">

Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. 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.
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

I'd like to know how I can achieve this in AS3. The code would work fine in AS2, but as I am very new to AS3 I am not sure what the equivalent would be in AS3.
code:
humanNum = 1;
MC = ["Human"+humanNum];

I'm working on a project so as to hopefully learn AS3 a bit more, and for it what I have for it currently is that it looks at the time, and if its between 8 pm and 8 am it imports one mc, or if its between 8 am and 8 pm it imports another. My problem at the moment is that I can get it to import it and align it at the needed x coordinates, but not the needed y coordinates. I'm not sure what the exact y coordinates are, but as in the future they might change, I was trying to find a way to align it so that the very top side of the mc to the top side of the stage, but so far I have had no luck, as I can't think of what would be needed. I've seen references to a "StageAlign._______" before, but either I'm not using it right or it isn't the right thing to use.
Here is my code right now:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.*
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
var time:Date = new Date();

Im trying to dynamically add several of the same movieclips to the stage. This movie clip contains a textbox. I have tried the following:-[code]I have my movieclip exported fror actionscript with the identifier as (textbox). This code does add a textbox to the stage however it only adds the second one which says "goodbye" but not the first one which should say "hello"? I thought the loop should go round twice and add a 'newText1' and a 'newText2'??

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.
