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....

// attaching ALL rollovers to effect the interactive button
this["invis"+i+"_btn"].onRollOver = this["chart"+i+"_btn"].onRollOver = this["inter"+i+"_mc"].onRollOver = function() {
[code].....
all the traces show up correct but not the gotoAndStop on the movieClip (inter+i+_mc_)'s.
is that possible? i'm a complete beginner when it comes to flash and actionscript... so if it sounds like i dont know what i'm talking about... it's because i don't!let me describe my situation...I have about 20 boxes... and on each box i want to assign the onPress to trace the value corresponding to an Array at element "i" in the console...instead of doing:
Code:
box1.onPress = function() {
trace("the value is: "+hypotheticalArray[1]);

I'm trying to get the arrow keys on the keyboard to control timeline navigation. The AS3 code i'm using works the first time, but then goes a bit crazy and stops working for some reason. Please see my attached fla. In the example you're supposed to be able to navigate along the timeline using the arrow keys (going back and forth) I'm sure there's a really easy solution to this problem but I'm new to AS3 and can't figure it out.
View 1 RepliesI have a few rows of movie clips making a menu. Because I will be adding to the number of MC's I use a variable called "menuitems" and run a FOR loops to assign all of these MC's onrollOver, onrollOut and onRelease functions. I'm doing this to save having to assign these functions to them individualy (as they are the same functions). Its works fine, but when the MC is released it is told to jump to frame 2, where there will be nested mc's that need to be able to clicked and rolled over. Because the parent movie has event functions assigned to it they seem to overide them. Is there a way around this? I tried placing a transparent MC on the 1st frame of the movie and trying to assign the onRelease function to the "hotspot" but it doesnt work. Here is my code:
Code:
function buildthumbs () {
for (i=1; i<= menuitems; i++) {[code]...........
I have a array of MC that are placed on the stage to make up a logo what i would like is to fade through the clips. I thought i could creat an array and atach a fade function to it but it dosn't seem to work.

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.
For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;

I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.
here's the essence of what i'm doing:

why does this work:
[AS]for(i=0;i<perPage;i++){
with(_root.attachMovie("entry","entry"+i,i)){
_root["entry"+i].onRollOver = function(){

is there any way to get to _root functions after assigning Lockroot?
i tried _level10.loadImages();
(loadImages is my own function)
I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];
[code]....
from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.
is there anything changed in actionscript in flashbuilder 4? i'm new to as3.... why is following for loop not assigning value to array ?i tried in various ways, but could not get it

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

I have been trying to assign tween function in an array through a loop in as3.I have 20 mc on stage, the instance names are obj1, obj2 and so on.I want to assign a tween function to each of them, the function looks like this :

I am loading a XML of county data for western US states and assigning listeners to movie clips of those counties. The counties have names that are equal to the field named afips in the xml. I am trying to assign listeners to those movie clips as called through a for loop. The counties are children of the parent MC name all_cnt.

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.

public class MiniGallery extends Sprite

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:
for (i = 1; i < 6; i++)
{
[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 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 am trying to create functions using a for loop for my buttons' over and out listeners.I would like to stick to a naming convention but it does not seem to work. I am trying to create 10 buttons with function names like btnOver1, btnOver2, etc...

for(var i:int=0;i<=9;i++){
function btnOver[i](e:MouseEvent):void{

I have four buttons with eventListeners that call four different functions. Each function name starts with the button name. like this:

btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btn3function);

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

I've created a basic function that sets a movieclip to a certain state depending on which mouse cursor is set (determined by a variable called txt_cursor). I can hard code this to work great for the one single movie clip but potentially have to do this for 624 other movie clips so obviously want to create a for loop to reproduce this.
