ActionScript 2.0 :: OnPress In A For Loop And Spacing?
Apr 9, 2008
Ok so options is the array there can be many or one outside swf. we go through the array creating empty movieClip and populating each with an outside swf. Once loaded i want to use these newly created movieClips as buttons.
1. can i declare the onPress in a for loop?
2. how do i centre and space them no matter how many they are the will be linear.
Code:
for (var i:Number = 1 ; i<options.length; i++){
//create a holder
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("optionD"+i,4+i);
I am modifying the Flashr wrapper for the Flickr API by [URL]
the code below uses a loop to arrange thumbnails gallery along x. I have changed the wrapper so it is now loading medium sized images rather than the thumbnails.
The flickr thumbnails are the same size so "360" is used in the code below to space them along x. Now im using images that are different widths i need to set this value dynamically so the next image is placed along side the previous one with space in between no matter the width, but i dont know how.
ActionScript Code: function onPhotosSearch(resultsSet:ResultsSet) { var currentPhotoIndex:Number = 0;
I'm loading in a bunch of images with a for loop. The images do appear on stage so that part works, however, spacing them is the problem. this is what the following code traces out:
I'm trying to write onPress for 4 buttons inside a for loop. This lines traces undefined: Code: trace(_root.TeachMethodArr1[count]) // undefined. This is because count is no more starting from 0 when I click the buttons.
Code: var TeachMethodArr1:Array=new Array() var TeachMethodArr2:Array=new Array() TeachMethodArr1 = ["a","b","c","b","e"] TeachMethodArr2 = ["a","b","c","b","e"] for(var count:Number=0; [Code] .....
Everytime I press a movieClip, i -1(on the output window) should be equal to the number of the movieClip (ex: myClip17, when pressed, should produce in the output window a value of 17 for i-1). Please copy paste this code to a flash document and you'll see what I mean (please don't forget that you have to have linkage in the library for a movieClip symbol that you have to create - it's a circle only with stroke that has w=15 h=15). Every time I click on a number it should appear a circle on it. If the circle is already there it should disappear. But that's not the case. Somehow every movieClip has the order to attach one of the instances of movieclip marca_mc to myClip31.
is that possible? i'm a complete beginner when it comes to flash and actionscript... so if it sounds like i dont know what i'm talking about... it's because i don't!let me describe my situation...I have about 20 boxes... and on each box i want to assign the onPress to trace the value corresponding to an Array at element "i" in the console...instead of doing:
Code: box1.onPress = function() { trace("the value is: "+hypotheticalArray[1]);
I using a for loop for a redundant action that I want to happen across 5 buttons. OnRollOver the button rotates. OnPress the button moves to a new position. It looks like this:
Code: for(i=0;i<5;i++){ _root.swatch_mc['swatch'+i].onRollOver = function () { this.onEnterFrame = function () {[code]....
My problem is this; onPress I want the button to move up (Ive achieved this already). I also want the other buttons to move down onPress (this is my problem). Is there a way have the other 4 buttons move down onPress using the for loop? Or is there another method of doing this?
I'm having troubble with the .onPress function. I've made an array of movieclips, and i want to go through them in a loop, and make an onPress function for each of them. What im trying to do with the code below is to make the debugText tell me what movieclip i pressed:

I'm trying to make a point and click game for the fun of it. I'm having troubble with the .onPress function.

What I am trying to do with the code below is to make the debugText tell me what movieclip I pressed:
First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.
I am currently designing a countdown clock and I would like to add some spacing between the text. But every time I add the spacing it does not work. I just want the days to show and I need them to go over boxes that require the numbers to be spaced out.
In AS3, we can format textfield to a newline by using . And now I'm trying to find out how do I use tab spacing in AS3? I want to format my textfield to look like this:
I've got a Grid whose GridItems contain another DataGrids. (The DataGrid are nested in the Grid). Now I changed the Grid's horizontalGap-StyleProperty to zero. But because there are several DataGrids in one GridItem, there is still about 5-10px spacing in between those DataGrids. How to get rid of these spacings ?
I have at some point imported photoshop graphics into flash where some textfield have had quite a large linespacing.Now, when I create a new textfield it will inherit this linespacing and the properties box have no setting for cahnging itHow can I get rid of this!?Edit:Nevermind, I just copied around some other textfields without linespacing and it dissapeared. A bit strange though that there's no setting for it.
I'm trying to figure out a way to center dynamic text fields vertically after the text has been input. For instance, in some instances I would have a dynamic field with two lines, and I would want to center it between two other dynamic fields- but only after the text has been populated. Maybe a better way of explaining it would be changing the spacing of elements on a page so they're always equidistant from one another.
how can I make the text to have 150% line space when it is HTML enabled? Currently I'm having <br><br> but that's a bit too much. I want it to be 150%.
How can I reduce the space between my linkButtons and inside each linkButton ?
I've set padding to 0 but it was already 0.I've been able to only change the height of the LinkButtons, but I cannot do that with the width because the text is dynamic.[code]...
I have some dynamic text styled with a css stylesheet. I want to be able to control the amount of space between each paragraph. I would do this with a "padding-bottom" tag for a normal web page, but this does not seem to be supported within Flash text styling.
I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to vertically center dynamic text fields once they're loaded. For instance, some of my text fields are one line while others are 3 lines, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to space them between other text fields equally.
I am trying to fix an interesting issue with a site. I have xml docs loading text into a site however the text is double spaced and not single. I believe i have all the settings correct in the doc to be single spaced but i cant upload the doc at the moment.
Is there a way of actually controlling the spacing of the tiles I tried imagePadding, but it just pads the image within the tiles. But the tiles still stay next to each other. You can see this when you do a mouse over.
I have a dynamic data being pulled in from a database using flash remoting. I am pulling these variables: newsID, newstxt and newstitle newsID newstitle is a single line dynamic textbox newstxt is a multiline dynamic textbox
I want to pull all the data from the news table and display it. This is what I am trying to do. ID =1 Newstitle Newstxt *Need to set ID = 2 a certain amount of space from where newstxt textbox ends ID =2 NewsTitle Newstxt
Here is the code I have now. getTitles_Result = function(rs){ cant = rs.getLength() for(var i=0; i<cant; i++){ News.duplicateMovieClip("newslist", "newslist"+i, i) [Code] ..... That the is just spacing a certain number. How do I change the code above to get what I need.
Im still relativly new to bringing in xml to flash, but i have read some tutorials and other pages on it. Everything is working fine except for the fact that all the text that isnt an attribute as lots of extra spacing infront of it. I made sure my i set ignoreWhite to true but it still is cuaseing those spaces.
I'm having an annoying issue... I have some simple static text in a simple swf, but when I test the movie, the line spacing becomes much less than it looks like it should be on the stage. Here's a screenshot - the left one is the stage, the right one is the compiled swf:
