i'm pulling my hair out over this one. I have is a movie with a button in it called button. i've duplicated the movie (manually) several times on the stage. the movies have been given instance names of movie1, movie2 etc. i've then used actionscript to assign actions to the buttons. i have the following code:
[Code]...
This function all works correctly, except where i am assigning an action to the onRelease event of a given button. Every button is assigned to the same value (appears to be the first value pulled from the array).
function createSubItems() {
vspacer = 6;
i = 0;

I am following along this tutorial: [URL]. And I get to the part where I need to add code to get my buttons to work, and I copy and paste the code and then change the frame labels to match mine, but then I get a syntax error:
"About_Project_mc, Layer 'hit area', Frame 1, Line 1
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbrace."
Code for assigning actions for buttons trough out xml
View 2 RepliesI got a set of buttons and a text field where they load the content.I'm trying to not make one zillion functions and keep the code neat so i guessed i would try set the buttons' actions within the loop too. I firstly had some problems getting the i counter inside the onRelease function (actually I don't think i ever got how to do it). But I tried this and worked:
stop();var comprarXML = new XML();comprarXML.ignoreWhite = true;comprarXML.load('flash/comprar.xml');comprarXML.onLoad = checkLoading; function checkLoading(success) { rootNode = comprarXML.firstChild; ButtonReleaseAndContent ();} function ButtonReleaseAndContent (){ for (i=0;i<12;i++){ // my buttons are not generated dynamicly, that why the count. btTemp =
[code]....
At the line where I set the text, I had a though " I may have to refer from within the button mc, since the generated code goes inside it!". So i tried the this.temp , guessing that this would be equal to the button level. A few seconds later i noticed my referencing for the text field wasn't coming from within the button, but from the root.
I've tried googling this simple action but cannot find anything that doesnt relate to something general - only specific issues.
I want to assign an action to a keypress - simple, but i cant do it with any keys other than:
pageup
pagedown
enter
space

id like these functions to assign ed to a standard key

WASD and Space. This is going to be a rhythm-type game, where you have to hit space (fire) when the dots are aligned with the middle dot.Hitting space not only fires a small bullet (AS placed on the grey/white outlined button on the bottom right as an on(keyPress "<Space">)) but runs a series of hitTests to see where the dot was on the bar when you hit space (placed on the dot itself), giving you points and a ranking for how close you were to the dot. If your dot is not even on the colored bar (close to the middle dot), no points are taken.
However, a couple of odd problems have arisen. The first one is that when you start playing, the hitTests seem not to take any effect. You can hit space anywhere and the dot disappears, no ranking, no score, nothing. Even if it's on the colored bar. Here's the weird part. Hold space, firing off a torrent of bullets, and now you can play the game as it's supposed to be played. I have no idea why this is happening, and this is a major issue.
Another issue is that the hitTests on the dots are a little tough to deal with... They're working as they should, more or less, but if two of them get on the colored bar (get two on the very edges of the red), and you hit space, both of them get processed. Now, this isn't really a flaw, it's following the actionScript just fine-- I'm just not sure how to make it so that flash only processes the first one until it hits a certain point (past the colored bar), where it would then move on to process the next one the next time you hit space.
The code for the bullets and firing is an ever-so-slightly modified version of this tutorial, just using spacebar instead of a mouse click.The code for the dot hitTests:
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.syncBar.poorLeft) or hitTest(_root.syncBar.poorRight)) {
_root.score += 1;[code]....
The poorLeft and poorRight objects are invisible movie clips placed over the red section of the colored bar, and this code pretty much just repeats with different instance names and variable defs.
Assign actions for a mc created dynamically?
View 3 RepliesI have a script; what it does is is read a numeric variable (projects) from "text.txt" and dynamically attaches a relevant number of movie clips in a row. Each one of these movie clips serves as a simple two frame "button"; frame one is the unselected state, and frame two is the selected state...
// load external data
loadData = new LoadVars();
loadData.onLoad = function() {[code]....
anyway, this script works just fine, as is. the variable reads in perfectly, the movie clips attach etc. my problem is this: I want the button that I click to go to its active state. this is no problem as all I have to do is add an onRelease/gotoAndStop() command which is attributed to each button as it is created, as above. my problem is that, say I had a bunch of dynamically generated buttons, when I click one of these buttons I don't know how to tell the other buttons to revert to their inactive states i.e: return to their first frames.

I am working on a page where three differnt buttons effect one movie clips properties, the one movie clip will go to its rollover state when any of the buttons are on rollover, hmm, that sounds about right] i have assigned functions within a loop and the rollovers, rollouts and instance in the loop have been defined for all but the movieClips dont go to the right place. the code i have used is this....
[Code].....
I'm trying to use a for loop to create 219 movie clips and have it assign the value i to each one. This is how the movie clips are named on the stage
rollover1_mc, rollover2_mc, rollover3_mc and so on.
Heres the for loop I was trying:
Code:
for(i=0; i<220; i++){
rollover + i + _mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
}
doesn't seem to be working.
Basically I need it to repeat so i creates the following lines of code:
rollover1_mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
rollover2_mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
rollover3_mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
etc, etc.
In the for loop below I use the "i" var to work with 5 movieclips. The problem is that I also want to use the same "i" var to assign text to a textfield but I can't figure out how to do it. (tf.text = String("txtInfocon"+i);)
Code:
var numbChildren:uint = this.numChildren + 1;
var txtInfocon5:String;
var txtInfocon4:String;

don't fully understand the Projectionpoint trick to flip items with the projection point at their own center in stead of the stage center so I can't seem to figure out how to for loop enough points to each movieClip on stage so it will flip around its own axis in stead of the stage axis.I hope I made myself clear there...

for(var i = 0; i < obj.numChildren; i++){ if(obj.getChildAt(i) is Flip1Button)

I am working on a page where three differnt buttons effect one movie clips properties, the one movie clip will go to its rollover state when any of the buttons are on rollover,i have assigned functions within a loop and the rollovers, rollouts and instance in the loop have been defined for all but the movieClips dont go to the right place....the code i have used is this....
Code:

all the traces show up correct but not the gotoAndStop on the movieClip (inter+i+_mc_)'s.

I'm loading 8 thumbnails via XML, placing in a sprite, and spacing them out with a helper grid class. This part works. What does not work is when I try to assign a mask to each of these (using a simpleRectangle class I made) I appear to only be assigning a mask to the last image. Am I doing something wrong with 'imageLoader.mask = _mask;' ?
My ultimate endeavor here is to click the thumbnail and animate the mask to reveal the entire thumb.I nested the showPictures function so it could have a reference to the masks, which is not optimal.

I have great difficulties with something that should be rather simpel to solve, but the problem is that I'm out of solutions to my problem.The buttons that are created from an loop that retrieves it's data from array's doesn't load the external swf, instead it gives my an 'undefined' output.I tried several different array constructions found on other threads, defined them differently, but it won't work.
Here's what I'm working with:
[AS]buttons = [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8];
titles = ["BOEDDHA", "GELUKSHOEKJE", "GEUREN", "INTERIEUR", "VECHTKUNST", "PERSOONLIJK", "SERVIES", "VERMAAK"];
swfArray = ["products.swf", "products1.swf", "products2.swf", "products3.swf", "products4.swf", "products5.swf", "products6.swf", "products7.swf"];
[code]...
As you see, I made an Array of the .swf's, put the swfArray in a loop and tried to define them to the buttons with the onRelease function.
Here is the structure of the XML file: PHP Code: <xmlfile><page></page><page> <source></source> </page></xmlfile> Some "page" nodes contain the extra "source" node. What I'm currently doing is looping through all the page nodes and looking for any source nodes. If there is a source node, I create a variable, and want to assign it a value of the contents of the "source" (HTML).

I have been trying to figure out this by myself for a while and needless to say, I have been completely unsuccessful. I have various a loop that creates multiple movie clips called: movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4... (you get the idea...) i want to assign roll over,roll out, press functions to all of theme.g. when you press on one movie, it highlights it.but I am trying to find a summarized way over writing each one out:
movie1.onRollOver=function(){
something happens
}
someonne once told me to use chartAt to do this, to reference different mcs, but I cant figure out how to do it.

I have some basic knowledge in PHP and am learning XML, and basically have decided to prepare my site for the future by switching to strict XHTML / php (plus it needs to be updated anyway). It is a hybrid site with HTML and Flash elements, and each HTML (soon to be .php) page has a single .swf as the nav bar. Is there a way to externally assign hyperlinks to the nav buttons within this .swf? I've done basic external assigns (with .txt files into dynamic text boxes), but this seems a bit trickier. Basically, I want to be able to update the .swf without opening flash, changing the links, and then publishing a new .swf.
