why this doesnt work.like when i click the button that calls getdepth the first two buttons work, the first time you click them but then nothing else work at all. after the first two buttons i just get undefined.
Code:
stop();
var depths:Array = new Array();
depths['1'] = 'b1';[code]....
How can I make an array that accepts only a single kind of element?For example, this:var arr:Array of MovieClip = [ mc1 , mc2 ];Basically, I want to do something like this:for ( var i:Number = 0; i<arr.lenght; i++ ) arr[i].alpha = 0.5;Of course, I could to it manually, but that's ugly, and I'll have to add a bunch of "if"s if I want to access the next element (as "if ( element == mc1 ) mc2.alpha = 0.5;")
View 4 RepliesI have 36 buttons I need action on. To avoid a lot of similar commands, I am trying to assign the button names in an array using a for loop. Tracing the array values, gives the correct button names, but there is no action when I press the buttons.Here is the code:
var farge_btn_tbl:Array = new Array(4); // Array assigning button instance names (works fine)
var farge_fr_tbl:Array = new Array(4); // Array assigning frame label names

If the answer is yes then a needle on a separate movie goes closer to the red(right) and if the answer is no then the needle stays where it is. This was all fine until the user ticks yes then changes their mind to no... the needle would then stay where it was rather than going backwards(towards the green) because I had set it up to not do anything if the no button was pressed initially? I was told that setting up the buttons as arrays would be the best option but on trying to learn about arrays I've become completely confused? oh additionally the amount of ticks dictate certain events that happen to the needle movie so they need to trigger events some how?

I am a Flash newbie and I've probably bitten off more than I can chew with this one...it sounded so easy!
Okay, so here's what I want to do: There are 5 people layered across the screen. When you rollover the person, they change color and come to the foreground (over the other pictures). On rollout, they go back to the background and change back in color. On click, they go to a new screen with just their picture and some information.
I first started setting this up and did each person as a button. Then I realized that in doing that, the button would not come to the foreground on rollover if it was below other buttons in the layers. So I put all of the buttons in movie clips and applied AS to the buttons (inside the movie clips, with the buttons on the main scene) and the AS2 looks like this:

How I can load arrays into a textbox using two buttons. I use append text but the text appear next the other.
View 5 RepliesI have started to take AS2 knowledge a bit further now and am working on a rss reader, i have multiple buttons which are loaded into the stage, what i would like to know is a) how do i create those arrays using their 'idenifier' and b) how do i link pressing those with the corresponding url in the urlArray?
what i then want to do is put the url which is loaded after a button has been pressed and put it as a variable which i can then load into
ActionScript Code:
rssFeed.load(/*urlGoesHere*/);

All the actionscript is taking place outside of the timeline and in its own AS file.InProgress is a movieClip that contains nothing at start. Once loaded it contains a list of movieClips, each which contain buttons. I need to change the label on those nested buttons. The buttons are actually components, where the label is named label and its variable is labelID.[code]Now if I create just a button on the stage myself, the .label command works perfectly. However, it does not work at all with nesting... I just want to change the label of the nested resumeButton...
View 0 RepliesI have this array that contains the names of various images I want to load into Flash
var imageArray:Array=["image1","image2","image3","image4","image5","image 6","image7","image8","image9","image10"];
Now I want to create 10 different buttons with each button loading in an image. I know there's a way to do this with a for loop without having to make 10 different buttons and writing 10 different functions. Not sure how to correlate the members imageArray with the generated btns.
I'm building a play/pause button for my movie, and here's how I have it setup: The main button object is playPause_btnThe first layer of the button has a movie clip with the pause graphic, named pause_mcThe second layer of the button has a movie clip with the play graphic, called play_mcOn the button's click event, I want to set one of the graphics to 0 alpha and the other to 100 depending on the state, so only one graphic will show through The problem is, for some reason ActionScript returns UNDEFINED when I try to reference playPause_btn.play_mc -- and when I do a dump of the movie's objects, I see entries for _level0.playPause_btn.instance12 and _level0.playPause_btn.instance13 instead of the play_mc and pause_mc objects. Why aren't the objects' instance names accessible??
View 1 RepliesI'm attaching as many instances of a MC as my xml child nodes length.So basically never know how many of them would be on the stage.Each MC receive actions to perform, nothing fancy and it basically works.But what I want to do is to know when the user has clicked once on any mc so this latter gets 'not enabled' until another MC instance gets clicked. (so my previous MC instance gets enabled, it acts like radio buttons )The point is I know how to do it when the total of instances is defined.I also know the basics of a loop , but I cannot figure how to set up a "toggle" to gets this 'radio button group behaviour
View 2 RepliesIn my main timeline, I have an image fade in and stop on frame 61. On Frame 61, the code below executes;
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>
<place name= "Bengkulu">
<frame>63</frame>
[Code] ....
There are no output errors, or compiler errors, yet when I click on one of the buttons, the movie does nothing - it certainly does not gotoAndStop on frame 62, 63, or 64 as I am asking it too. Before this code, there are no other actions at all in the movie - just a simple fade in image.. I have now tried tracing (the objects below), within the click handler curly braces (showData);
'xmlData' produces nothing in the Output
'xmlFrame' produces '0' on each click in the Output window.
Tracing both the above outside of the showData function curly braces produces;
1120: Access of undefined property of xmlFrame, or xmlData.
Tracing the nameBtn[i] produces '[object SimpleButton]' in the Output Window.
I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );
[code].......
I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

View 6 RepliesI have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.

View 3 RepliesI am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

im working on a zoom/pan gallery and i have a problem that i can't solve.URL...the pan buttons are not working but the zoom and reset buttons works. im working on movie the image using the mouse now, if you will hold the image and move it it will drag it on stage.the image is a loader the loads and image and placed on screen.there is a mask on top of it and a frame that indicates the size of the gallery.when the user pan the image loader content i want it to stop as soon as it gets to the gallery frame,but i cant seem to find the best way to do it.so basicly when the image is in 100% i dont want the user to be able to drag it but after you zoom the user will be able to drag it but only to the edge of the frame so there wont be any white spaces.i tried a lot of different ways to do it but all of them are complicated and not working the way that i want them to work.
