ActionScript 2.0 :: For Loop With Xml - Can't Understand The Loop
Jan 9, 2006
i have tried to keep this as simple as possible in order to demonstrate my confusion - i have looked at this for too long now and i really dont understand how this for loop works - sorry for the example length.
[Code]....
i can fully see how things work up until i hit the FOR LOOP EVALUATION: child !=null at that point the loop is broken and the trace statements with xxxxx and yyyy come into play but why is there 4 lots of x and y traces? if the loop is broken and child = null which it does why does the statement carry on 4 more times - should it not just return? i understand that the update part of the for loop will execute only at the end of the loop but this still does not show why it should carry on like this?

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

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 ...
[Code]....
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.

dayVal = day.value;
for(dayVal = 1; dayVal/7 != 1; dayVal++)
{trace (dayVal);
}
the loop starts at 0 and not 1 so the loop ends at 6 does any one know how to resolve this issue?? its so that what ever number dayVal is it will be rounded up to a number that is Divisble by 7 .

Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function. Currently, it's set up to increment blank_mc._y by whatever value is returned by [j]. But for some reason this doesn't work. I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.
AS code:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var nodes = this.firstChild;

wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a pause within a 'for loop' before it runs through the next loop? heres the script i've built up so far, i'm running off other variables and arrays to pull in the logos and the animating in is working fine except that they all run in at the same time, basically what i want is that they would run one after the other with a 5 second gap between them..[code]so i did that and put wait(delay); after the var boxcounter=2; in each of the If statements.. but no luck... can anyone shed any light? or suggest a way it get it to hold for a few seconds before running though the loop again? or am i going about this in completely the wrong way??!

Code:while (dayCount <= lastDay) // creates 30 text fieldsto a 'for' loop where I can increment the position of each duplicated text field by i * a specified width. the thing is that i can't figure out how to do that with my while loop. but i can do it with a 'for' loop. that's why i'm trying to change it. earlier in my code i use this 'for' loop to lay out the row above where i want to start..
Code:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < numCols; i++){
_root.createTextField("dayHeadings" + i, i, indColWidth*i, startSecRowYPos, indColWidth,

I have to flv. files one after the other. So far it gets from one to the other real nice. But at the end of the last one rather then repeating the whole set of videos I just want it to loop the last one. I'm using action script 2.0 and I tried this in the last move.
{gotoAndPlay(1);
}
But I'm new to action script and of course that didn't work. so much for listening and answering my last Q Dev Shed Forum....

I have two soundfiles that I want to loop after each other. I think it�s best to use OnSoundComplete and I used it before. But in this case I want to loop between two different soundfiles and i can�t figure out how to do it.
This is how the code looks now.

Looking for help with a Flash CS3/AS 3.0 problem... I'm making adverts (one banner, 600x100), one sidebar(135x90) for my company's website. Currently, I have placed buttons on each advert, and added individual code in AS3.0 to link each image that pops onto display in the ad to an external website. When it goes through the entirety of the movie, it loops back to the beginning, but when you click on the ads, each one goes to the same web site. What I've found is that when it loops back to the beginning, the image clicks through to the website assigned to the last image at the end of the loop.
This is just a two-frame example of the larger files that I've used, but it is a direct example of what I am trying to fix: making sure that when I click on the first set of frames, it goes to ptc2.html, and the second set of frames = ptc1.html.
