lets say i have dynamically duplicated movieClips ID's stored in array list. i want to add a onPress event to them. how do i do it?
[Code]...
Write well let me see if i can explain this:I have created a class that will create a movie class colour block:
Code: Select allimport com.si.mc. CreateBlockClip;
import com.si.mc.newClass;
var myBar:CreateBlockClip = new CreateBlockClip("bar",300,5);

xml values are stored in 'arr' array collection. depending on the length of the array stored, the below described components are created and assign those values to relevant components dynamically. For Example:

'currItem.currVar', in my eyes, should be assigned the value of 'i' at that time in the loop, then move on to the next currItem right? Tracing 'currItem' traces 'menuItem. menuItem'+i to the output window fine, so im assuming that currItem is indeed a reference to a unique clip to which assign an action. The catch is, its not assigning the action I want, its assigning the value of 'i' at the end of the loop to all currVar's.I recently read a post explaining this conumdrum, stating that "variables are not "burnt" into functions when they are placed there. They will reflect the variable, where ever it may exist at the time it was requested, not at the time the function using that variable was defined," but in this case,since I am assigning the value of 'i' to anothing variable inside my dynamic movieClip.
I have this code inside a for loop which is inside a function:
Code:
_root["track" + i] = new Sound();
_root["track" + i].loadSound(extTracks.data.tracks[i], false);
createOnLoad("track" + i);

When i test the movie in flash itself everything works fine, but when i open the movie in IE or the stand alone flash player, details_txt and length_txt are both empty.
does anyone have a tip on how to "bind" events to dynamically created movieclips ?

I just have a code attaching mc for create a thumbnail.I can't assign a onPress action..because when I test it ..it's seem not working.at least tell me what's wrong with this code..for load image thumnail part is okay only for assigning onpress action.[code]
View 2 Repliesi have a movieclip named "mc" and i want to load many images in it and add on press event to those images.
For that, i have a button which is when click adds images to movieclip "mc".
I created empty movie clip in "mc" and loaded that empty movie clip with images. But i m not able to attach on press event to that empty movie clip.
Here is my code:-
In button :-
on(press)
{
_root.fun();

I even tried to add listener to movie clip (commented portion in above code) but that also didnt work.
So I have an object, generated on each click of the mouse. It's set up as a series of points with properties, with values for position randomly calculated, and set around where the user clicks the mouse. Lines are drawn from where the mouse is clicked out to each of these points, so it kind of looks like a star, but only lines, rather than a solid shape (like those old 50's atom clocks?). So once clicked there's an enter frame event listener on the object so that each of the points 'wobble' (using a randomly generated number) up and down around the original point.
For some reason, I can either set it so that on each new click of the mouse and newly generated object, the last one stops "wobbling" and only the new one does, or each new object moves to where the new object is, and maybe is still wobbling(?), but is underneath the new object. This way has the event.target as a new object in the wobble function, so I think it may be just a case of where the centre point is - i.e. saving the mouse x and y for each object individually, or perhaps I have too much of the setup function code repeated in my "wobble"function?

I've dynamically created event listeners in the usual sort of way:
Code:
myText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hover(nameLabel));
function hover(nameLabel):Function
{
[Code].....
The problem is how to remove the event listener later in the program as the usual code isn't working. I'm guessing I should have done this in a class but I'd like to understand this problem better.
I'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.
Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.
e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}
In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.
I am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME event with a number of dynamically created movieclips and it is not working.The swf features a series of five clock faces that the user will select by hitting the appropriate button. Each clock has five unique movieclips to that season including a second hand, a minute hand, a main character, a seasonal clock face and a back ground, again, each of these MovieClips are different on each of the five clocks. So I have a series of five listeners for each of the buttons:
spring_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startSpring, false, 0, true);
winter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startWinter, false, 0, true);
...
then the associated functions to the mouse event looks like this.
function startSpring(){
var mBack:springback = new springback();
var mFace:springface = new springface();
var mChar:springchar = new springchar();

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">
I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);
Im new to actionscript , but not new to programming..Got the following problem : Im building a flash page dynamically with actionscript , from a php generated xml file which defines image/swf paths, text, position etc..All works well, except, i can't set an onPress function on the movieclips i create. Im doing something like this:
[Code]...
I have a movieClip in which by default it does not have an 'onPress' function applied to it. However, I have a button on the stage that the user can press to 'unlock' that mc, and when they unlock it, it sets a 'locked' variable to false, calls a function which checks the 'locked' status, and if it is false, it that sets the onPress for that movieclip (which makes it draggable)If that button is clicked again, 'locked' is set to true, and that same function is called again, and then the status is recognized as locked...but I need it to somehow remove/delete the 'onPress'function. I know the first thought would be to just set 'enabled' for the mc to false...which I tried at first.... but the problem is that some of the mc's are transparent in the middle, and there can be other items below them...and those items below need to be 'clickable'. Even though the top mc is not enabled, it still recognizes that it has had an 'onPress' function applied to it, and thus won't let anything below it be clicked. (When the movie first launches, the function setting the onPress has not yet been set, and so the items below it are therefore clickable).
I know that might have been a bit confusing, so let me know if you have any questions to further clarify. need to make a movieclip that was clickable (through an onPress function) onClickable, but also treat it like it has never had an onPress applied, so that any items below it can be clicked.
how to control dynamically created clips... What I've got is a series of objects on the stage, that have been created using an external xml file. here's the code for this...
Code: Select allfor each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem) {
code for setting the clips on the stage, positioning them, etc, } But what that doesn't do is give each clip an individual instance name, so I've no way of controlling them on the stage? I presume I need to create a variable and then loop through the MenuItem xml assigning a unique instance as it goes through it?
I have a 13 buttons to wich I added Event listeners using a for loop:
Code:
for (var i:Number = 1; i < 13; i++)
{
[code].....
I have the next code:
mc.onPress=function()
{
//some code
}
How do I remove the event handler onPress?
I have created different buttons on different movieclip. Then i assigned onPress event on each buttons. But the function of onPress event is not triggered. The arrangement of movieclips is following.
var mainMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainMC",0);
mainMC._alpha = 0;
var adImgMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("adImgMC",0);
var offerMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerMC",1);
var offerList:MovieClip = offerMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerList",0);
[Code] .....
I have created an event as follows:
offerList.onRollOver = function(){
offerList.stopTween();
clearInterval(autoScrlTimer);
} offerList.onRollOut = function(){
duration = 0;
autoScrlTimer = setInterval(automaticScroll,duration);
ovrFlag = true
}
I doubt that the onPress event is not working because of the above piece of code.
I have wrote an action script like this[code]...
The script dynamically create a list of textfield vertically and it will show a list of news title from an XML document.
The problem is: I need when a user click on a textfield (one of news title list), it will loads another movie clips that shows the complete news. Can I attach an OnPress event on a textfield?
I have run into an issue where when you use the onPress function, it won't register the second onPress event if the mouse doesn't move and the user clicks the same pixel. I have to use onPress, and am wondering if there is a way around this. It is just a little annoying that I have to move my mouse to have it catch that second onPress..

View 14 RepliesEssentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
