ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Dynamically Via MCs And Functions And Whatnots?
Mar 20, 2007
So I'm finally getting to the point where my sites are just one frame with everything loading dynamically via MCs and functions and whatnots.But I'm having a problem: how does one keep track of what "page" we're supposed to be at?
My specific dilemma: I have an mc called "textframe". I have a function that does some nifty dropshadow knockout effect on that frame, so I can't display any content in it, so I thought I should use attachMovie to load different elements from the library depending on which button has been pressed. But I can't seem to find a flexible method to track which button was pressed and pass that on to which element should be loaded.

how would i go about dynamically making a function... im making a Tile Based World level editor and when the user is done editing a level, then they hit a button and a couple of for loops runs through all the tiles checking the x,y and tile type. then i want thisinformation to be parameters within sub functions within the main function. so the as would look something like this
[AS]subFunction = function () {
//do this
}

i'm trying to call a function on a clip, but i want to use a variable that i'm sending to the clip so that when the one function gets done it knows what to do next. i just have no idea of what the syntax would be. here's a sample.

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

So I've been trying to make dynamically named functions, and while it works, I've run into a couple of problems.
ActionScript Code:
var uServer:String = "irc.epic-chat.net"
var lol:String = "lolz"
var num:Number = 3
[Code].....
If I had something like that ^ what could I add to func to distinguish between whether it is being called by lolz0, lolz1, or lolz2? I was thinking whether there was something like .name I could use, but I couldn't come up with anything.

I am having trouble accomplishing the following:
Code:
var some_xml:XML = new XML();
some_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[Code]....
This works fine if I use a number, but as soon as I try to use "n" within the function it throws an error. Would eval do this for me? I haven't used eval before.

After loading the movieclips and text boxes dynamically I now need to get the movieclips to perform a unique function when they are pressed, for testing purposes I am using the getURL funciton and linking to the boxNo. This is just so I can see what is going on!At the moment they are all linking to the boxNo that is pulled from the last run of the loop.
for (var i = 0; i < loc.length; i++)
{
var boxNo = loc[i].location_ID;;

I've been trolling through the forum and I've seen similar instances however I can't seem to get my head around how to make scripting work;What I'm trying to make is similar to an interface where users can input data into a list (myArray) should they need to remove information they can click the corresponding button to remove it, the current code is repositioning a button that's already on the field as opposed to creating a duplicate from the library
here's the full code:
stop();

I've got clips being attached using attachMovie (clips are in the library with linkage id's).
inside those clips are two functions. I'm trying to access those functions after I attach the clips, but not getting anywhere.
I assume that the methods of my attached clip (the functions) aren't available immediately, but rather after the clip actually 'loads' to the stage they are.

What is the best way to create functions dynamically and store them inside an Array? Obviously the bellow is wrong since the array will always trace the last value of the variable "v" (5)

I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];
[code]....
from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.

How do I stop the visible function coming before the one above it? Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
root.info2();
infomc.visible = false;
info2 is a function for a button which contains other functions which need to be performed before the button(infomc) becomes invisible. At the moment, it becomes invisible first before any of the functions on info2 begin.

I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.
I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]

I've written some code that ads a number of movie clips from the library to the stage with a loop. Each clip has a function that makes the clips visible and animates them in. Previously this works fine, I add the clips which sit on screen invisible until the activate function is called - it works fine. However, if I add the clip dynamically and call the function in the same block of code it doesn't work. I've added 'trace' code to the function being called to see if it activates but it doesn't.
I'm guessing the function doesn't become available immediately, perhaps not until the next frame and I've also noticed this problem with timeline based graphics - they have to be added a frame earlier than when a function they contain is called.
Here's my code:
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
attachMovie("nomCirMC","tCir"+i,i+500);
targ = eval("tCir"+i);

I am able to use the Loader class to import an external swf into my project, its working great. But Im also trying to do a ImageSnapshot of the stage which works fine before the external swf is imported. After the swf is imported the ImageSnapshot no longer works. is there a event that the external swf is bringing with it that would disable it?

I want to dynamically load a series of SWF's to play one after another without the user having to click any buttons. I've build a nice shiny preloader that will allow each movie to load up, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the next step. I've tried creating "placeholder" instances, and linking them but as I said, I just don't have enough AS experience to do it right. Most of the time when I'm working in Flash I'm under a time crunch and I do everything through animation.

The loop loads just fine but it stops after playing once even though I tell it to loop 999 times?

I have started putting together a flash based website to present my works. I am dynamically loading thumbnails and the larger companions using an XML file. Everything seems to work fine on my comp but when I upload it to my host sever the larger images do not want to load and on occasion a page of thumbnails doesnt want to load. My address is [URL]. Also the code I am using only places one image atop another, so when I click on a thumbnail it will place the larger image on top of the last it does not take the previous one away. which can be a problem if one image is smaller than the last. or if I wanted to load movie clips.
Here is the AS of one page.
//XML Trails stuff
//var to hold Tween;
var fadeTweenPhotoP1:Tween
// Creating image txtfield
var imageTextPhotoP1:TextField = new TextField();
// Instance of loader class
var imageLoaderPhotoP1:Loader;
