View 2 RepliesI'm writing a very simple AS2 class, that only should create an empty movieClip and fill the stage with a box drawn with the lineTo property. But for some reason, Stage.height always returns a number that is exactly 100px less than the actual stage height.
Code:
class centre {
public function centre() {
createBg();
trace("width: " + Stage.width);
trace("height: " + Stage.height);

I have a project in which I am using classes.I want to use a class in where from a xml object I create an array of movie clips using createEmptyMovieClip.[code]
View 8 RepliesI have an object (with it's own timeline) and on the last frame of that timeline I have the following code:
Code:
stop();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainLoop_mc", 2000);
with (_root.mainLoop_mc){
[code]....
The problem is, when the "mainLoop.swf" file loads it obliterates my main UI SWF instead of attaching itself to a particular spot on the UI. So one SWF is replacing the other.
I tried it and it just doesnt work, it creates the first one but the other five dont work and createTextField wont work after the first createmovieclip.
View 12 RepliesHere is the structure of the XML file: PHP Code: <xmlfile><page></page><page> <source></source> </page></xmlfile> Some "page" nodes contain the extra "source" node. What I'm currently doing is looping through all the page nodes and looking for any source nodes. If there is a source node, I create a variable, and want to assign it a value of the contents of the "source" (HTML).

I hsve a setp where a couple of classes inherit from a base class (events, plus common math). All derived classes implement the same set of methods. Another part of the program wants to instantiate any of these classes. So far I was creating empty functions in the base class and overriding them. Could an interface improve on that? I tried to list the common functions in an interface and use that as a datatype, but that would not let me use functions that the base class already inherits, in particular event dispatcher. Would I need to add these to the interface?
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to create a completely dynamic menu by creating empty movie clips and loading external images into them? I'm experimenting with this, but it seems there is no way to create rollover/release functions for these dynamically created MC's.
View 6 Repliesi have an xml file
<xmlfile>
<file name="numero1" />
<file name="numero2" />
<file name="numero3" />
[code]....
they can have any names, this is just an example. so..and in my actionscript panel, i have the code:
the var bit...
myxml.ignorewhite = true;
max = 40
[code]....
following this code, still in the for loop, i tried to create an empty movie clip, which loads a secondary swf, called "button.swf". as follows
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",i) // "i" being the depth
myMC._x = 40;
myMC._y = max;
[code]....
so...when i run the movie, it all appears blank. just for your information, if i take the whole ''movie clip creation'' bit out of the whole loop, it works fine. just once, but fine you got the idea what i'm trying to do here.. it's a list of buttons... because i don't want to use the list component. anyway, continuing. i don't know how to make it work. i've been guessing the problems might be with the same instance myMC bit, and i don't know how to create a different one each time(i've been trying though ) or with the depth..which still i can't figure it out.
I have a list of 99 item (something like a phone book) and I will like to sort them in different method. Part of the 99 item might be empty, so the requirement is to move the empty field behind the sorted data in every sorting behavior, here the code we have so far:

on (release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container2", 1);
loadMovieNum("calendar2.swf", 1);
[code].....
It puts it at (0,0) of the _root! I tried "this", I tried "_parent", I tried nothing at all in front of container2. I even changed the x and y to something ridiculous. The trace returns the correct value but the clip ain't budging. Why?!

View 5 RepliesI have a Flex 3.2 application for which I am developing a custom style. Basically the first stylesheet gets applied first, and then my custom stylesheet. I am wondering how I can completely empty a value set in the first stylesheet with a value set in the second. The value has to be blank because if the horizontal-center value is set then any other positioning values are ignored.
Example
CSS1.css
.myButton {

i open a box which has selecable text init and when that is clicked it closes the first box and opens the next. but the container will not empty when the close button is clicked. i use the same method on about 6 other items and all work fin. the 1st box closes fine but the 2nd wont any 1 no y. here code

I have made a menu system with 6 buttons, and on the layer above, I've made 6 'not active looking button' movieclips:
WEB / MYSPACE / BUY DK / BUY EU / DOWNLOAD / iTUNES
And I have made an XML file that contains the links for each button.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<infoXML>[code].....
I've a XML file that flash reads and then uses the values to populate text fields and load a few jpgs. The probelm is that the XML file often has NULL or empty nodes.
for example:
<item>
<name>peter</name>

I tried searching for this, but couldn't find exactly what I am looking for.
I want to create a new instance of a blank movieclip using actionscript and name each instance differently.
I have a button that each time it's being press, it will load a mc that's located in the library.
The movie clip is text that's located in a mc, that i can fade in the text when the parent mc is called (meaning, text in a mc in a mc).
How can I do this actrion, where each time the button is pressed the mc will load? tried a few things such as loadmovie, attachmovie, but some how it doesn't work for me.
I gave my parent mc an instant and tried with the butoon calling it. didn't work.
I would like to perform a hit test on a movie clip which contains a closed outline, but no fill colour.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in my code. Is it possible or do I have to work around this?
how to load an swf into an empty clip labeled 'holder' on my main timeline on mouseclick of a button?so far im trying

I have a problem with XML filtering. [code]If there is only one result, trace is empty. If there are 2 results or more, they will be traced fine. Is it because one result is not an XML 'list'? If so, how do I get the results if there is only one match?
View 2 RepliesI'm using flash cs4 on a mac and I need to embed some characters to support greek, and probably a lot of other languages. The problem is, my Character embedding dialogue box is empty! There's nothing in it at all... I'm using Tekton Pro as the font for that dynamic text box, I tried using something more basic, Arial and Helvitica didnt work, still nothing to embed. I know the phrase that will be in it, at least the first one, when I put it in the "Include these characters" box and reran, all the dt box would show is an apostrophe. I put the phrase into the dt filed itself and "autofilled" it did the same thing. I also tried doing the same with the % character version ie %B6, it picked up that they were characters but still wasnt displaying right. I'm diverging.
View 3 RepliesI am having the most frustrating time with htmlText in TextField.apparently, if you set the htmlText of a TextField, you always get an extra line at the end.Here is what I have found out:Below, a multiline TextField is created and the text property is set. I then grab the htmlText property, set the htmlText to "" and then reapply the htmlText I had just grabbed. This causes a new line to be added to the Textfield:
Actionscript Code:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();tf.width = tf.height = 200;tf.border = true;tf.multiline = true;tf.wordWrap = true;addChild(tf);tf.text = "this is not htmlText";
