i am trying to create a loop that will put a list of names from external sources into a number of Arrays .so what i did is :
Code:
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
this["loadVarsText"+i] = new LoadVars();
this["loadVarsText"+i].onLoad = function(success) {
[code].....
and i dont understand why it is not working, and how can i fix it?
I have this:
Code:
function onAdd(e:Event){
switch (getQualifiedClassName(e.target))
[code].....
i need to dynamically create arrays with variable array names.
for example, something like this:
for (var n=0 ; n < nodeContainer.length ; n++) {
nodeObj = nodeContainer[n];
var name:String = nodeObj.nodeID;
[Code]....
I've done some googling for the past hour, but I can't seem to find what I need.Maybe I'm overlooking something.I want a very simple, basic thing. But I have no clue how to do this.I have an external XML file which holds a list of names.I want these names to be pushed/added to an array so I can access it based on it's position in the array. (A for loop is used to read a different XML file and the child[i] is named after the same array spot, childName[i]

How can I create several tweens with different names in a for-loop?
I want to create one tween named tween0, one tween named tween1 etc. up to tween9.
Like this: (This doesn't work)
Code:
for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
var ["tween" + i]:Tween = new Tween(...);

Is it possible to have a for loop and create a new array for every loop
for
(i=0; i<5; i++){
myArray+i:array=new Array;

I know this doesen't work it just illustrates what im after.
I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.
I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]
I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

I need to make a loop that can create (and use) incremented variable names. Basically I need to dynamically create a certain number of sprites and datagrids then I need to add these dynamically created datagrids and sprites to the stage. So the static code (which works, but I think is NOT the right way to go) would look something like this (I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but this should give you the right idea):
[Code]....
But I can't figure out the syntax and how to make it work... This MUST be possible! My knowledge is pretty thin in actionscript,
I have a array of categories, for e.g.
var categoryArray = new Array('value1', 'value2', 'value3');
I would like to loop and create new arrays from each of the values in the categoryArray I tried...
for(var i=0;i<=categoryArray.length-1;i++){
this[categoryArray[i]] = new Array();
}
value1[0] = "dsfsdf";
trace(value1[0]);
It doesn't seem to work.
In Actionscript/Flash it is possible to create a swf which contains font data for emedding like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Font_times_new_roman extends Sprite {
[Embed(
[Code].....
now what i would like is, to create something like this with glyphs from different source fonts.
for example unicode character x should be taken from Arial, while character y should be from times new roman.
I have an mp3player that loads an external mp3 file and plays. It works just fine if the url/location is hardcoded in the swf file. However, I need to be able to have the url passed to the flash externally so that a number of users may utilize this single swf build.
Example:
Current location need to be filename.mp3 or [URL]. However, I need this location to be edited per use of the swf. In php i know I could call it such as:
$myLocation = "123";
[URL]
or
$myLocation = "[URL]";
(The "123" is what changes for each page use)
Here is the code i have that is working just fine. Until I need to use a full url that changes for each page the swf is use on.
onClipEvent (load) {
if (playing!=true) {
playing=true;
soundIsLoaded=1
myMusic=new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("myMusic.mp3",true)
}}
Limitations:
1. Because of the server set up, I am always required to call items using full absolute urls/paths.
2. php, cfm, xml etc are not available for use with this. -- the goal is to be able to give an webmaster a copy of the swf and the code to embed it on their html page... and that's it.
I am trying to creta my own loading text I am using the file and action script that chris99022 has written[code]...
View 2 Repliesi can load text, but not so that it will change when a button is clicked (load a different file.)
there are two tutorials on this issue in the tutorial section

both of which supply final sources and both of which have errors.
**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=action, frame=1:Line 1: Case-insensitive identifier 'loadVars' will obscure built-in object 'LoadVars'.

the loadVars error is in both of them.
I have been working on my first site which is my personal blog and I am having trouble getting my external text files to load in my dynamic text field. I would like to have my buttons when clicked to load my text files. This is the swf file that I have been working with: SWF FILE and these are my current dynamic text settings:
Code:
on (release) {
loadText.load("index.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
main.html = true;
main.htmlText = this.index;
}};}

So I have this button that when I click on it I want it to load two different text files into two different text boxes. This code works just fine for loading 1 file into one box,but not when I try to do the other thing. Whats wrong with it?

loadText = new loadVars();

I've been seaching on how to get the key names of a flex Array as there is no such function in the Array class. Here is my answer that may be usueful to any of you.
View 2 RepliesHow/can you pass a array into a variables name?

I need to create dynamic arrays with field names loaded from a database. So, the names for the fields will be always different.Then, suppose I have the names "product" and "color" to create the following array structure dynamically:var myarray:Array = new Array;myarray[0] = ({product:undefined,color:undefined});But in other ocasion, the names may be say "brand" and "model", so the array will be:myarray[0] = ({brand:undefined,model:undefined});
View 1 RepliesIn the AS2 days you could create an array and add a bunch of Mc names to it like so
Code: Select allarray("clipA","clipB","clipC", etc..)
Then you could use this array to reference clips dynamicly or on stage to do stuff.I was trying to do the same with AS3 but came across a problem I've not found an answer to yet. I created the following code:
Code: Select allvar letterArray:Array=new Array("A","B");
var buttonArray:Array = new Array();
//
[code]....
Now with the line:
Code: Select allvar currentButton:MovieClip = buttonArray[i];
I get: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@369e8581 to flash.display.MovieClip.but if I remove that line, it works. My problem is that I need to make it a "var" of type movieclip before I can assign a listener to it. Why can't I build an array of movieclip names using:
Code: Select allbuttonArray.push(["button"+letterArray[i]]);
I have seen arrays in the past that contain:
Code: Select allarray(mc1,mc2,cm3, etc...)
but notice that it's just using the name of the clip and not array("mc1","mc2","mc3", etc..)
basically I need a loop within a loop to compare two different arrays in my actionscript3 lottery game. I have attempted the loop but I cannot seem to get it to work ...

So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.
How do i word a for loop to make it loop through multiple arrays?I want 1 for loop to loop through multiple arrays in order to move/alter objects.I want to keep the arrays separate.

I have used a "for loop" to create a number of Sprites.This same loop names the Sprites and places them in an array. That array is used to add and locate the Sprites on the stage. The problem I am having is when I attempt to use the Array index in a "hitTestObject" statement ie; [URL]...with the accompanying code being trace("hit"). I get "hit" displayed on the output panel,whenever "myObject" collides with any Sprite from that array. How can I make these hits spicific to the particular object from the array.
View 1 RepliesI have an Arrays that contains the names of MovieClips:
Code:
var MyMCs:Array = ["A","B","C","D","E"];
The actual MovieClips names are "MC_A", "MC_B", etc..., I use this method so I reuse the same Array for multiple tasks, I simply add what ever it's needed to the name to match the task at hand. On this case I add "MC_".
Then I have multiple Arrays, with the same names of the values of MyMCs. The values of each these Arrays are the names of buttons that are inside the movieclips of MyMCs:
Code:
var A:Array = ["RR","TT"];
var B:Array = ["YY","UU"];
etc...
I could add a listener to a button this way:
Code:
MC_A.YY.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, DoSomething)
My problem is that i want it to be done dynamically, using the Arrays values in a loop to add Listeners to the all buttons. The loop system is not a problem for me... my real problem is in the dynamic attribution itself.
Here is what I have:
Code:
//'i' and 'j' have previously been created
for(i=0; i<MyMCs.length; i++){
for(j=0; j<this[MyMCs[i]].length; j++){
[Code]....
I know that this is correct since I tried them separately and I can trace the proper values.
I know that my problem is in the "this" since I get an error message stating:
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
I suppose it should state something else... I tryed with "root", "parent", "child", "MovieClip"... with no luck...

I am currently trying to develop an application in Flash.Currently I am working on trying to contact a webservice to get a list of course names.I am getting the results but I cannot even parse them.

var x:Array = this.results;
var y:XML = x[0];
trace(y);[code]....

From what I have gathered in the help menu, Flash has two types of XML nodes, a node, and a textNode.nodeValue will always be nukll for a node but on a text node it will return what you would expect and I don't know that I can convert between the two or force it one way or another.I don't have a clue why it is like that but apparently that is how it works.What can i do to get this data in?
Is there some way to get it to parse as an array? As far as we can tell, it should be going from the webservice as an Array, SOAP should convert to XML and then Flash should decode back to an array... it doesn't seem to be working that way though.
