I have a sortable list generated from xml. I'd like the user to be able to click on each of the items in the list and gotoandStop at a certain frame of the movie clip. Can this be done and how would I set that up in my actionscript and xml? I've tried a couple things and I am having a problem because of the sorting.
[Code]...
I have list of object that I want each item to be rendered with some renderer that include a delete and edit buttons with some text. What is the best way to make the list of object re-order-able in drag/drop fashion so the user can drag on item on top of another to change the order of the list.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to put a TreeGrid in my application so that the columns can be sorted. If you refer to this sample application, you'll notice that if you
Open a branch node
Sort by one of the columns
Close that branch node
then the TreeGrid starts to get out of wack and duplicate columns start appearing and other columns start disappearing. What I would like is to have the columns sorted only by the outermost nodes.
One attempt I had was to run treeGrid.closeAllItems() before the sort occurred. However, this does not work, because a Sort Column event gets dispatched while closeAllItems is running, so the list gets messed up and listOutOfBounds exceptions get thrown.
I am trying to make only one of the columns of a datagrid as sortable using flex 3. but using sortableColumns all the columns change their property.
View 2 RepliesI've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.
View 1 RepliesI have 3 movieclips on stage (inn0, inn1, inn2), each have a textfield as child. I want to do something like:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < arrayWords.length; i++){
"inn"+i.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[0]
}
I can do:
inn0.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[0]
inn1.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[1]
inn2.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[2]
But want to do it dynamically.How can I do that assignment?
I created an input text box. But when i try to go and click on the "variable" option to assign a variable i get this error: "This feature is not supported by ActionScript 3.0. To use this feature, you must target ActionScript 1.0-2.0." How can i do that? By the way, the variable textbox where you need to enter the variable name is gray. I can't write in it. I'm using flash CS4.

that you can assign a different color to text as the display value.
How do I create a button & assign a value to a text box within it, in actionscript? Can I create an instance of a button from the library dynamically?
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash5 to build a site. I have a main page with navigation bar to get around. The word "menu" is sitting on the right of the stage which contains the actions:
on(press) {
gotoandplay("expand")
}
which opens the nav bar on the bottom of screen. This works fine. However, the text was blurry on my site, so I switched the text from static to dynamic text, which solved the blurriness problem.
BUT, after switching the text, I discovered my "menu' button is not behaving as before.
Can one assign actions to dynamic text? If not, what do I do to still have legible text? Again, the menu bar and other links were working fine, but when switched to dynamic text, none of the navigation works.

View 6 RepliesA scene with many dynamic text and several graphic. Example :
ActionScript Code:
some dynamic texts
hostname.text_ep0.text = "response from AMFPHP";
hostname.text_ep1.text = "response from AMFPHP";
hostname.text_ep2.text = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep0._width = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep1._width = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep2._width = "response from AMFPHP";
But what I want to do now its to associate each label textfield (hostname.text_ep2.text) and let's call them dynamic graphic (my_percentage_bar) to a panel of an accordion component. I drag an accordion on the scene and I want each panel to contain 1 dynamic text and 1 dynamic graphic.
ActionScript Code:
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep0", {label: "Stats from node 0"});
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep1", {label: "Stats from node 1"});
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep2", {label: "Stats from node 2"});

I made a basic text editor that lets users insert predefined strings into the document with button clicks. What I need to do now is let the user define their own buttons and string values. For example I have a button that inserts "Hello" into the text. The user may want to create a button that adds "Goodbye".To accomplish this I figured I would create a .txt file called buttons.txt or something. i would readutfbytee, loop through it to create the buttons. problem is I know what I want to do but not sure where to start

View 1 Repliesi've created a mc and inside that i have a dynamic text field, named 'inside'. Iside the mc i've created three key frames, first frame is untouched, second frame, i've changed the color of my text to red, and in the third i've changed the color to yellow. Now i have i awful blinking mc.I'm trying to change the text of my text field. I'm guessing that for every key frame i create i get a new instance of my text field, so i should change the text in every frame of the mc. So i've tried:
mc.inside.text = "test";
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
mc.inside.text = "test";[code]....
well i know that the text changes in the current frame, but as soon as it goes to the next frame the text changes back to its original.
I have created a movie with 8 frames in and each frame uses the same template and buttons of which are in exactly the same place as the movie plays. The problem is some of the text within the buttons is appears to be slightly out of allignment but it only happens when viewing this on different computers - the laptop I have been working on does not should this, everything looks to be in perfect allignment; the movie will be viewable on the web so it needs to look good!
View 1 RepliesI have an input text that goes over several frames. When you type a letter a different frame plays. For example A plays frame 2 , B play frame 3 etc. The problem is that the text that was written in the input text i want it to remain there and not disappear when i move to frame 2. How to i keep the text in the input text so that all what the user wrote is there every time. Basicly i need to remember what the user wrote from every frame.
