i'm using this code
Code:
txts = new Array(title,title2);
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
{
txts[i].text=raiz.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.childNodes[0];
}
But that does not work...Title and title 2 are two dynamic textfield that i've created in my scene! The problem seems to be the declaration...Does flash allow casting? cuz i tried to cast the "TextField" option and that didn't work as well.
What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.
I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.
//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

I have a bunch of dynamic textfields on the main timeline. Each has its own instance name t0, t1, t2 ... t25. This might sound stupid but how can I use a loop to put them into the array?This is my simple "non-loop" code
Code:
var lettersArray:Array = new Array();
lettersArray.push(t0);
lettersArray.push(t1);
lettersArray.push(t2);
//add the rest here
trace(lettersArray); //[object TextField],[object TextField],[object TextField]
Im trying to create loop which will creat 4 new textfields and will put text into each field. The variables are already definned. But i doens't seem to work

I create various movieClips with TextFields in them using the following function.
function AddLabel(Label,L) // create a MovieClip with a Text Field.
{
obj = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc" + L,L);[code].....
Lets say that I use the above function with the following statement:
JimMC = AddLabel("JimVision",1);
Then I try to assign a string to the above movieClip with some embedded html like so:
JimMC.txt.htmlText = "This is my test < a href='http://bogus.com'>link</ a>.";
When I try to run the above the results come out blank. When I list my variables I do see that my TextField is being assign the text and html code. What I also notice is that the textWidth and textHeight value become zero.why my results are blank? Why do the textWidth and textHeight values become zero?
I have a list of names in a database and I want to pull these names and put them in text fields that will change colors on rollover states.
I get the names all pulled from the database and put into text fields dynamically. One thing I ran into is trying to do the rollover states.
Do I need to create different TextField names for each name and also the same for the TextFormat?

I'm interested to create textFields dynamically, but I don't know how to make this code working, can someone please help me to understand what do I have to put in my code at line 4 in the brackets ?? in order it to work.btw: if the variable "losingdate" in my code is achieved from asp file, is this line: this.New1.text = losingdate; is a valid thing to do ??
for(i=1; i < 5; i++) {
this.createTextField("New" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0 , 0, 100, 20);
this.New1.border = true;
this.(New+i).text = losingdate;
??????
}
Here i'm trying to put the strings of array into a couple of textfields.[code]...Assign array into multiple textfields?
there is no error message in this but there are nothing shown in the textfield either, nothing at all.
i wonder how can i convert the text string to instance name at the left side of "=". as i look up the web, most issues about converting string to instance/object name are talking about the right side of "=".
I have an Array with several Items (between 10-15)Now i wanted to give out these Items in Textfields dynamically.
View 2 RepliesI've got 4 input text fields used for inserting numbers. (i'm making a math addition app for children) When each column is added up and the number inserted in the text box in the same column (working from right to left) it compares that number with the actual number and will display either a tick or cross.

I have flash file with 5 dynamic textfields which reads everyday from an array 365 (year) inside the file what I want is to read from an xml file instead.
The first layer contains this code the arrays:
function make365() {
arr1[49] = "05:30"
arr2[49] = "12:35"
arr3[49] = "13:10"
arr4[49] = "15:55"
arr5[49] = "18:20"
[Code] .....
The stage contains 5 dynamic textfields each one named respectively quote1 ,quote2 ,quote3, quote4 and quote5. How can I make the function 365() reads from an xml file instead.?
I basically want to make things easier by just looping LinkButtons instead of making textfields because the linkbuttons have the rollovers already programmed.
But I have a lot of text and it just keeps going. I want it to wrap like I can do with textfields.[code]...
I want to populate the stage with a list of dynamic text fields with individual names, something like pg4_txt1, pg4_txt2, pg4_txt3. I'm a novice at flash, I tried creating variables with a while loop, but I just haven't got the grasp of it.
Here's some kind of weird pseudo code to explain what I want to do:
var leading:Number = 15;
var i:Number = 0;
while (i<14) {

I want to create a custom class that will create textfields and return them to other classes, but it seems i cant get it working.First i created this custom class named "FormatText" extending Sprite class.Through constructor parameters i pass all the things i need to create a textfield and at the end i put it on the display list using addChild.If i do by this way and i create an istance of FormatText adding it to the display list, my textfield appears, but the problem is that i don't have full control of it, because this new textfield created is still considerated as FormatText's child, so if i try to change some textfield parameters, nothing happens.
Just an example:
var txt:FormatText = new FormatText(param1, param2, param3, etc.).
addChild(txt).

I am trying to create textfields on the fly that wrap the text they contain. I am using the following code but it is not working well. The text within the textfield is low and some of it is cut off.(Easy to see if I put a border around the textfield.) What's my bext solution to create a textfield which perfectly fits the text it contains.
var caption="someText";
thumbTitleTextFormat=new TextFormat();
thumbTitleTextFormat.font="exportedArialFont";
thumbTitleTextFormat.align="center";

in AS3, How can I dynamically create TextFields and still be able to access them individually?for example, a for/next loop creates 3 textFields:
for (var num:Number = 0; num<3; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField;
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}
now say later on, I want to change the text of one of the textfields:
txtFld.text = 'This is the new Text';
The problem is, in the variable list, there is only one txtFld, the last one created. How can I access the other textFields?
i am using the createtextfield method to create textfields in my swf, but i can't see them i can copy paste the content of them, and the things related to them work properly, but they won't appear in my swf. i thought they were underneath some image, but when i switch off (_alpha=0) the image, there is nothing. i also have an attachmovie in the same movieclip i create textfileds in, but the clip attached is visible.here's the code i am using:

My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

Help needed to create Multidimensional Array from Recursive XML.
All I need create Array inside an Array dynamically from an unknown XML tree.
Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:

I have 2 arrays:
Array 1 = [1,3,5,7,9,10];
Array 2 = [5,7,10];
Now, I wanted to create a new Array the is the same as the length of Array 1. The output should look like this:
New Array = [0,0,5,7,0,10];
I have a glossary that I am trying to build. Each letter is in an XML, I want to create an Array to store letter "A", then dynamically create a "B" array and so on. this is what I have so far:

Suppose you have a round based RPG type game. The player issues directives to his units, your enemy AI issues directives to its units. The problem is that the functions for those directives then have to be executed in a specific order with no relation to the order they were input in and all at the same time with the push of one button.
I just need a little direction here, I just spent the last fifteen minutes searching "AS3 Array of Functions" before figuring out that maybe that's not the way you do it in AS3.
Essentially, I'm looking for the way to store functions, put them in a list to be sorted in a specific order and then execute them in said order.

I created a multidimensional array and I am having a hard time using .push to start another line. I have tried many thing however this is where I am at right now:
Actionscript Code:
arrayName = new Array(new Array());arrayName[0].push("cats");arrayName[0].push("dogs");arrayName[1].push("panthers");trace("arrayName[0][0] = "+arrayName[0][0]);trace("arrayName[0][1] = "+arrayName[0][1]);trace("arrayName[1][0] = "+arrayName[1][0]);
As you can see the last trace (arrayName[1][0]) comes back undefined. How do I add the [1][0] level of the array?
how to create unsigned arrays with keys in actionscript 3?
in php its simple:
array('key' => 'val');
in ac3 you can create unsigned arrays like that:
['val']
['key': 'val'] // breaks
