I've created an array from XML elements.I have my index saved in the var i
Code:
mc.index = i;
Now the problem I'm facing is dynamically changing a section of code.I had to hardcode like this for now.
Code:
mc.onPress=function(){
if (this.index==0){
point0.frame._visible=true;

I have a flash (AS2) menu that relies on xml. I need one of the links on it to to take me to a frame label on the main flash timeline. what I need to write in the link section of the xml code.
<element>
<text>Jill</text>
<type>text</type>[code].....
[code]...
This is all working fine. How can I further optimized the code (make it shorter) for last section?I created the loop for root.d and root.e of xml using for loop and while loop but then it does not add the xml values to the attachmovie text. I don�t know why?
XML.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
buttonArray = [b,b1,b2];

I was just wondering if there is a code program/editor for actionscript where you can select/highlight a section of code and then be able to use the search/replace function to find a word in that piece of code you've just highlighted, instead of going through the whole document.
View 2 RepliesI'm doing site menus in Flash/Action Script. Each top level menu heading is a button with a standard look and rollover/click that is highlighted. The code waits for a mouse-over and runs a function that moves the movie to a frame that displays the relevant drop down menus (with buttons) under the top level menu. When a dropdown item is clicked, the code runs a function and the appropriate URL is loaded.Everything works fine but here's my one problem (isn't there always one...?).
The top level menus always look the same on every page. It would be nice to highlight the top level button that corresponds to the page currently being displayed. For example, if the user selected About Us..History, then it would be nice to make the About Us top level button remain highlighted (over/down state) instead of reverting back to the standard look (up).1. What do you suggest as the most efficient way to do this? I know ther must be a simple way of doing it. I haven't used Flash variables but I imagine that calling the flash movie with a variable and then acting upon the value of that variable might be the way to go.2. How do I highlight a particular menu/button?Can I use code to cause it to display in over or down state instead of regular up state? Is it better to overlay a separate graphic showing the item in highlighted state?
I have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
on [URL] what is the word 'section' in _root.section? I assume it is a movie clip instance, but can't seem to find it on the timeline.

I ma trying to populate movie clips with xml data all is working well except the geturl bit at the end which does put a url in but just the url of the last xml code (link) loaded. I think I am just overiding my currentThumb_mc.link variable every time but am a little out of my depth.

For the first stage, I was able to build a walk-through demo in flash pro by creating buttons that when clicked caused the flash to change to different frames. easy enough. Now for the final part of this project, I need to make the interface fully interactive, as I was trying before. ie: you can click any button and lights go on and off or a loop counter increments, etc. Since there is logic involved and too many permutations to do a frame for each possible state, I'm back to trying to do this in an object oriented way. I've got some test code here.

debugger has some errors, so i don't know what exactly it will do. the errors are at the last two if statements where i'm trying to change the object property setting of the label. there is another error at the last curly bracket.
the idea is that there are two labels and a button. the first label starts out visible. when the button is clicked, a counter is checked, and incremented, then the counter is again checked and the appropriate label has it's visible property set to true. the intent is that in a list of several labels, pressing the button scrolls down them, until you press while on the last, which resets the counter and the first label becomes the visible one.
I have some AS code that allows you to click on a button and will display a numerical result inside another button, currently in English. I am looking into converting this to Japasese. Does the entire AS code need to be in Japanese or just the numbers.

View 2 RepliesI am changing colors of an mc dynamically, in this way: I have an mc of the color green for example. What I want is it to turn to a specific color in time. I have in that mc a sprite, that is that specific color (red in this case). iIset it's alpha to 0 and put it in the layer above the green part. Now when I set its alpha to 1, it will be that colour. When I set it to 0.5 ofcourse it'll be a mix between those colours. Is it faster to do it, but changing 0xFFFFFF? I wouldn't know how to do it though. i want to be able to tell it to go 3/4 of color nr 1 and 1/4 of color nr 2, for example. i also want to be able to choose those colours specificly, for the sake of art. so just choosing 0xFF0000 for red, wont do, for artistic reasons.

Basically I have media being parsed and played by reference of an XML document using AS3. These media files are gonna be seperated into seperate XML files then what I was planning was to just dynamically change which XML file is being referenced. Problem is, the code only fires once on frame 2 and I can't seem to figure out how to switch out the XML file for a different one upon an event trigger. "new URLRequest [URL]" isn't working...do I need to reload a whole other string of code to change to a different XML document?

I have a movie with multiple languages. Most of the fonts used are embedded. What I've been doing is creating a new MovieClip for each language and in that movie clip assigning a font that can display that language, then depending on the language, load the appropriate MovieClip. I wonder though if there is a way to just change the font dynamically. However, it would be changing from one embedded font to another.
Would it be efficient to just make one generic text MovieClip with a certain font in it, then just title the movie clip by the font, and load that movie clip whenever I want to use that font?
like so:
ActionScript Code:
var title = new Arial;
title.textBox.text = "Page Title";
Also: Then could I change the font size dynamically if I did it the later way?
My problem is the following:I've been working with Flash CS4, and have written a script which creates a dynamic menu based on an array variable. The array variable needs to be located in a separate .as file so that I can use a bash script to create the array on the fly, based on files found in a specific folder. It's taken me weeks of writing both the bash and actionscript to make everything work smoothly. Everything works except for one small thing: when I update the file containing the array, the menu in the .swf fails to update with it. In order to update the menu, I'm forced to re-publish from within Flash itself.
Previously I had used the "include" function to place the array within my script, but I then tried bringing it in with a package as a global variable. Neither method worked. It seems that the file is included during the publishing (that's probably common knowledge). So I'm wondering if there's a way to include the array, or build the array, in such a way that will allow the .swf to update with a simple refresh of the web page.
ActionScript Code:
Package containing array:
