ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Assign OnRelease Event To Array Of Movieclips?
Jan 18, 2009
I'm creating an image gallery and the below code is what I have come up with to create a 'container' movieclip which dynamically adds a number of thumbnails, each as a separate movie clip, one after another vertically inside the container (which is contained inside a 'main' movieclip - note the existence of mc1 is to enable me to mask the container - this is worknig so you can disregard it).(Note the number of clips is currently hardcoded to 7)
Code:
image = new Array(); //array of movie clips to be contained
imgLink = new Array();
I want to loop through an array of mc's, and assign each a onRelease function. I have the following code but the trace inside the function doesn't seem to find the array.I understand why but what is the correct way of doing this?
ActionScript Code: var theArray:Array = new Array(); var j:Array = new Array();[code].......
I found a multiple drag to a single drop example here on the forums that works wonderful for the dragging and dropping part of my project. I am now trying to add in a sort of category detection. I have 45 movieclips located on the stage. They get set up with a loop, giving them a drag/drop functionality. The movieclips belong to one of 7 categories. The user can drag only 5 movieclips to a designated area. Once the 5 have been selected, I need to then figure out which category had the most selected. What would be the best way to set this up? Here is what I'm working with so far
Sure this will be a simple fix, and I'm just not seeing the wood for the trees. I have a movie with a movieclip called scroller_mov. Inside it are 15 movieclips named pic1 thru pic15.
My code is on one frame, on the same level as scroller_mov. Just want to dynamically assign a click action to the pic1 - pic15 movieclips! have tried hardcoded links and dynamic, but no joy! Everything else works fine.
I have an mc, with a nested mc inside, which has a nested mc inside that.When I rollOver the container mc, It wont allow me to perform a onRelease with the 2nd nested mc .. WHY is this?my code will explain it visually better :::
I'm trying to add images from an XML and making them clickable. It's been a while since I did some actionscripting, som I'm a little rusty. Thought this would work but they won't let me click them
Code: var xmlData = new XML(); xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
I have a number of 'items' (mc's) contained in a scrolling mc that can be drag-dropped to other matching mc's. The items names are listed in an array and I wish to assign variables of suitability and feedback to each mc from the array also. I think this is called an associative array?
Having some trouble correctly referencing the items from the array. To explain, here's a working script with a simple array and an inefficient workaround:
My setup has several movieclips in different layers. My problem is that .onRollOver, onRollOut and .onRelease functions are still active for movieclips lying underneath. Is it possible to inactivate these functions and then activate them again when it is needed? Or how do I solve this?
i wanted to create a bunch of movieclips in a for loop but wanted to name them something different each time, how would i dynamically name them? example of basically what i want to know how to do
I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?
I'm amended a AS2 movie, which is a rotating banner add movie. In this movie there is a button which is always visible throughout the movie. I need to add a onRelease behaviour onto this button, so that it can call a JavaScript function when clicked.
I'm new to Flash, I have done some Flex work, but no Flash. How can I add the onRelease behaviour to the button and have it available through out the movie. I know how to convert the button to a movie clip and add the onRelease behaviour but it only lasts one frame, how do I make available through out?
I got a problem with dynamicaly assigning the onRelease event on my buttons.
I got about 45 buttons and I don't want to create 300 lines of code just to create each of the onRelease events on them so I thought about using a loop (for) to pass through them and assigning the onRelease event. This is what I got and thought would work:
[Code].....
Unfortunately, it does go to "salle" (which is a frame), but the CURRENT_SECTION variable is always set to 43! I can't understand why it would give me 43 on any of the section buttons I click (which ranges from 1 to 42). how I could make this work? I don't like having too much codes in my Flash (I've been using a hell load of loops to make it cleaner).
Basically, I want it to check if a link is assigned (image[p][1]), and if it is, create an onRelease handler for that image. (This is a rotating image slideshow).
Thus far, this code will check to see if the link is assigned and will create the onRelease handler when an image loads that has a link assigned via XML.
The only problem is, it does not remove the onRelease handler when the image rotates to the next image.[code]...
I'm trying to remove a onRelease event for a movieclip of mine. The action is defined in the movie's class file like so:
Code: private function onRelease():Void { delete this.onRelease; trace ("test"); }
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be removing the onRelease events, and whenever I click on the button it traces "test". Is there some other way to remove onRelease events when they are applied through a class? When I use the above method out of the class definition all is fine, like this:
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'm working on a site where I'm using an onRelease event handler. Within the onrelease I have a couple different actions that need to happen. For example, when I click on a button I want an image to move up, then move to the right and then call gotoAndPlay (frame) I can do all of these actions, but they all happen at once. Basically I just want the animation to happen first and then have it goto frame 20 when the animation is complete...
I'm trying to get my XML info into movieclips called "button_1" - "button_7" I have my XML ChildNodes showing up in my output window when I export my swf. I used the xml class to load into an xml instance So how do I assign the data to my movieclips.
I would like to push a value, anything really, into my array when my movieclip is pressed. I have a number of fish movie clips, and when I press them they unload, but I would like for every press of the movie clip instance a value to be pushed in the array. This is so that when a certain number of fish have been pressed the movie goes to the next frame. So, I give an if statement to say if the array has a certain length, go to nextFrame();.[code]
I have two arrays. One is used for button names and the other is used for the links for the buttons. The buttons are generated dynamically with attachMovie and the names are also modified via AS. My problem comes in at looping through the links array and applying them to the buttons.[code]
I have created a MovieClip in the library that consist of buttons, graphics and other MovieClips. When the movie starts I attach this movie clip to a newly createdEmptyMovieclip like so
[Code]....
So all that works fine, except when I add a onRelease event to a duplicated MovieClip it does not seem to respond. So I was wondering if the duplicateMovieClip function does not copy the button inside the original MovieClip. The code for the button is
Well i have some labels at my timeline and i pass them as an array. The problem is at the onRelease event. It returns undefined. I cant figure out how to solve it.
I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:
I want to use mutliple images in my flash script and instead of writing tons of code I want to get the 'currentTarget' and assign a variable name to it so I can tweenlite it . Instead of me naming all the instances i thought the following would work but it doesn't.
wedding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pan_over) ; function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{ var ct:string = Event.currentTarget.name ;
