ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Data From An Xml-file And Dynamically Create Movieclips With Textfields Inside Of Them Return "undefined"?
Oct 22, 2004
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'm trying to make a login function that receives the username and password as arguments, does all the proper URLRequest and URLLoader stuff inside it, and retrieves some values from the database. Then, it puts those values inside an object (a little associative array really) and returns them. I've put 'trace' sentences all over the function, and it seems to be working without a problem and is retrieving the right values from the database. However, when I try to assign the returned value with something like:

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 created a content navigation system using xml. On the left there are a list of items and when you click on them their descriptions load on the right. I've gotten most everything working, however the list of items (which you click on) is messing up my formatting scheme creating a run-on page. Since the items are loaded using a for var i++ method, they each been created in separate textfields. I was thinking there must be a way to load them all into a movieclip and then create a scrollbar for the movieclip itself so that the user doesn't have to scroll the entire page to view the items.

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;

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?

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 an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].

How do you return data from a custom class, and only when something in the custom class has completed something. For example, let's say I have this code in the custom class[code]...
This, of course, doesn't work. I need the whatever.getLoadedObject() method to wait until the loading has finished inside the custom class then do whatever with the image loaded.

How do I attach data to a movie clip that is generated dynamically?
In my code below I create 3 green boxes. I want it to trace the sequence number of each box after it's clicked on, but I can't figure out how to make that happen.

I found lots of links to creating 1 moveclip dynamically but not to create multiple move clips. I am trying to create 10 empty movieclips dynamically, but I cannot seem to get my script to work. This is what I came up with and does not work:
var i;
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
var myMC["myMC"+i]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myMC["myMC"+i].name = "mc"+i;
addChild("mc"+i);
}
Why this does not work/how do I make it work?

We have a main.fla - much of the content positioning part does nothing yet :
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
stop();

For the life of me I just can't figure out a syntax to make button1thumbs.swf load into that movie clip, and I've tried all I can think of, but it's probably something dumb on my part.

I have a website which needs to load 3 external images into 3 movieclips when the page loads. The page gets the URLs for the 3 images from an XML document, ie.

Can you addChild to a specific movieclip instance i.e. movieclip.name.addChild(movieclip). I have built a 'for loop' to render a series of 'products'. The idea being to create a movieclip, load an image into this movieclip, assign a URL and later some text.

I am dynamically loading and removing movieclips from the stage.I am using this to remove them
ActionScript Code:
var n:int = rootElement.numChildren;
while (n--){
delete(rootElement.removeChildAt(n));
}
The movieclip does remove itself from the stage, yet I can still hear the audio continuing to be played by that movieclip. The audio in the movieclip was not being removed while playing. It is audio that is initiated later in the movieclip. I'm not sure if the delete is overkill, or not.

Is this possible? It's a hassle to have the extra step of keep a seperate movieclip behind the one with the image to get a border. Can I load an image into a movieclip that has a border, or give it a border afterword? Same with shadows.

I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.
Code:
stop();
// Set variable holding image folder path
