ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Rows Of Information In Flash Using CreateTextField In A Dynamically Attached Movieclip?
Jun 19, 2006
I'm trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?

how I would normally generate a dynamic text field,
Code:
this.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....
I would like to target the text field so it is generated inside a movieclip for example something like,
Code:
_root.Mymovieclip.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....

I'd been working on a side-scrolling shooter game in AS2 for a while and it was going great, but for whatever reason, it scrolls all choppy and the framerate is inconsistent on faster machines. I would have expected the opposite, but it is what is is, I guess. So I'm trying to finally learn AS3, and I found some tutorials that got me started towards remaking what I had, but now I'm stuck.I'm trying to make one of those rotating cannons that shoots projectiles towards the mouse cursor. I have the rotation part working, but I'm having trouble with attaching the projectiles to the stage with enterFrame actions on them.I feel like I'm pretty close to a solution, but I don't understand where to put the functions to move the clips to make them work properly. In AS2, I just put something like this on the cannon clip:
Code:
bullet = _root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+_root.bullets, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:nozzledot.pointx, _y:nozzledot.pointy});

I want to be able to create a text field on a movie clip that is already established. I can create a text field on the main flash window, but I am unable to create a text field on a movieclip on the flash window.My MovieClip is called Background with an instance name of myBackground. I try the following line among others I have tried:
myBackground.createTextField("mytext",1,0,0,100,50 );
mytext.text = "hello";
Am I referencing the movie clip correctly?I have checked the Complete Reference for Macromedia Flash MX, but could not find anything in there. It seems like that book only skims the surface.

I have an AdvancedDataGrid being built dynamically from an html table. The html is provided by a server so my code has to work dynamically for different columns/rows.
I have the columns being built and they display properly, however when I get to adding the rows is where i have issues. the follow code snippet shows iterating over all of the columns and adding a value under each of those columns to an object (to make a complete row) and then adding that to the ArrayCollection that later gets set to the dataProvider for the AdvancedDataGrid
//create an item to work with
var chartItem:Object = new Object();
for( var j:int = 0; j < columnResult.length ; j++ )
{
[Code]....
my issue is that when "head" has a value of 0, as in the column title is '0', the item is added at position [0] instead of at 0 as a string.
I looked up some examples and tried with:
chartItem.head but that just assumes the column title is 'head' instead of grabbing the value of the head var

I'm trying to position dynamically generated movie clips into rows and columns. Currently i've managed to position them side-by-side using the same ._y position. I would like to position them into a grid consisting of 25 columns and 16 rows, so mc 26 would sit beneath mc 1 etc...

I need to dynamically stack rows and colums of squares. That is easy enough. But i want to dynamically change the number of columns depending on the total number of squares. This way, i will always have a rectangular grid of squares. I can do this by using a series of if...then statments to check the total number of squares, but this is not a good solution as it will not scale infinately nor is it very adaptable to different layouts.
I susupect that there is a way to find a relationship between the number of squares and the number of columns needed to keep things in a rectangular shape... but it hurts my head to keep trying to figure it out with my limited math skills.

I'm Java developer in transition to AS3, my task is to create one of those spaceship games ( beathazard / asteroids style ) but im already being destroyed by the differences between these languages.... im trying to make this game completely through AS3, in other words, trying to evade manual setup as much as possible, at this moment, im trying to create my spaceship (an instance of my SpaceShip class), my background (instance of my Scenary class), my bullets (instance of Bullet class) and my game ( Game class ).
The first problem im having is that i cant seem to make the ship find its sprite while executing its constructor so i can create a new instance of it and add it to my game (actually, my scenary).[code]...

I'm modifying a flash slideshow (actually the one from kirupa.com) and among other things, I'm trying to get it to generate small LEDs depending on the number of images the script finds in the xml file. I intend to make them light up depending on the image currently up (i.e. image #5 lights up led #5) and allow users to click on the LEDs to jump around between images.
The problem I'm having now is that I can't get the file to generate more than one LED at a time. In fact, it seems to only generate the last LED needed and places it in the final LED position. My only real guess at this point is either I'm not indicating a new depth properly, or I'm creating the new movieclip over and over again but not actually creating a duplicate of it, or something like that.[code]...

Is it possible to access the type of object being interacted with so I can create a new instance of the same object? So for example in the code below I have the movieclip myItem. After it's clicked it is removed from stage and then moved to the inventory. When I click on it there, is it possible to create a new instance of mcItemToDuplicate using the event information parameters? (while allowing myItem to be where it is).
My code looks something like this:
public function moveclip() {
var myItem:mcItemToDuplicate = new mcItemToDuplicate();
stage.addChild(myItem);

Im trying to create 4 rows of 16 buttons/boxes...Ive been reading up about 2d arrays in my javascript book and have tried this but Im getting a problem about the property length not found on a number, etc.Initially, I had a for loop running from 0 to 16 which created a row of 16 buttons, then they were being pushed into an array. Now I want to create 4 rows of 16 buttons and hopefully push them somehow into a 2d array.
Here is my code...
ActionScript Code:
var row:Array = new Array((1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16),
(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16),
(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16),

I am building using borrowed code from various tutorials. I am trying to make a grid with a dynamically attached clip(ball), use the grid as a mask for a picture(pic) and tween it forward on the press of a button (red):

My problem is that I cannot get the grid to tween forward on pressing red. I have tried various other ways to call function exp with no success, although I have noticed that:

successfully tweens the container clip for the grid. Furthermore, I have noticed Flash 8 takes some time before testing the movie. Is my code inefficient?

Well onjce again I have been scanning the threads and cant find a direct solution to my problem, or at least I dont know how to implement it if I have :s Anyway what I am doing is this.I am doing the website for a furnitre company that has a large product catalog, around some 200 photos. In the main swf. I have all the thumbs and when I click on one thumb depending on what category it is, it will load the external swf. and also a variable that says which photo to show (which frame to go to).
for examplle if I click on a thumb of a bed it will load beds.swf with a photo value of 6, which will go to frame 6 in the beds.swf. Now in beds.swf I am attaching a movie clip with an instance name of beds dynamically into an mc called photo_holder using the attachMovie function.
The beds movie clip has 40 - 50 keyframes with an mc on each frame which then holds the bitmap. So the target to one photo would be _root.photo_holder.beds_attached.bed1 Then I have a gotoAndStop(photo); action where photo is the variable I loded from level0. the problem is the following.
I can add a preloader onto a scene before everything, however, I only know how to make the preloader load all the photos. I dont want to do this cause if the user wants to view one photo, they have to wait for all 50 high res photos of beds to load, of course, they wont have to wait for the next bed they click on but its still a pain.
I tried doing some tests last night using the getBytesTotal() function but it only seems to return a value if what I am targetting is in the same frame number where I have that action. Otherwise it returns undefined. Since this clip is loaded dynamically, I have no idea how to preload something that hasnt been called on yet. Or in other words, get the Total Bytes of a photo before showing it, or whatever. Its kinda hard to explain,

I want to target ALL the 20 clips attached as below, at the same time, when I press the button "blue". However, my code can target only ONE of the clips at any time. I have tried attaching the clips to a separate dynamic clip and then targeting it but problems with the registration point (0,0) of that clip means I cannot achieve the result I want:
Code:
for(i=0;i<20;i++){
mc = this.attachMovie("red","red2"+i,i);
var scaleFactor:Number = Math.random() * 80 + 20;
mc._x = Math.random()*500;
mc._y = Math.random()*400;
mc._xscale = scaleFactor;
mc._yscale = scaleFactor;
blue.onRelease = function(){
new Tween(mc,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,mc._xscale,200,3,true);
new Tween(mc,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,mc._yscale,200,3,true);
}}
