ActionScript 2.0 :: Target Path To Movie Clip Element Of A Button?

Jul 16, 2004

I'm trying to figure out how to use AS to access frames of a movie clip within a button symbol (using Flash MX 2004), and I seem to be stuck. I drafted a small test version of the FLA I'm working on, and it is attached to this message.

Specifically, my intention is to have a two-state button that goes into "selected mode" after the first mouse click, and then goes back to normal after a 2nd click. I can already handle the functional aspect of this using a global boolean like the one in the attached file. The problem is that I want to represent the current status of the button with a visual change; in the attached example FLA, the intention was to change the color of the text label on this button from grey to red when the button is in its "selected" state.

In this forum I found a similar question where someone had provided a "menu.fla" that had a row of buttons that acted more or less like a radio set, which is somewhat similar to my need. I've been trying to use the same sort of method, having converted the "up" state of the button text into a movie clip symbol with two frames (one for each state), and then trying to use AS to do a "gotoAndStop()" on the desired frame of the up label animation. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to actually make this work ... no matter what sort of path I try to use to get to the movie clip animation within the button, I cannot seem to set the text animation to jump to the "selected" frame (2).

I think my problem is that I've been unable to glean any understanding from the Flash MX docs about the differences between an object name and a symbol name and an identifier and an instance name and a blah blah blah, or about which of them (if any) actually is an ID that can be accessed via ActionScript. Also, MX 2004 seems to provide almost no compile-time error checking on the validity of a target path either, so I've been reduced to just throwing every combination at it that I can think of. None have worked, so I'm at a loss.

If anyone can explain to me why the attached FLA doesn't cause the text to stay red after a mouse click, no matter which of the commented out lines I try, it would undoubtedly be a big help to me.

(Please note that the button in this FLA uses a basic flashing animation for mouseovers ... it was just something quick to implement to emulate the mouseover animation in my full file, so please don't be distracted by it. Also note that I haven't tried to implement any code to return the button to a non-selected status yet. One thing at a time.)

RESOLVED: It was apparently the nesting of a movieclip inside of a button that prevented the original target path from working (and one of the tutorials at this website seems to support that). Once I knew what the proper path syntax was and didn't have to worry about that part anymore, eventually the rest fell into place pretty easily once I started using a movieclip for the button rather than an actual button.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding A Element To An Array With Array.push

Mar 14, 2005

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far

[Code]...

Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Add Element To Array When It Is Not In There Already?

Jun 22, 2010

This is for a small RTS prototype I'm working on for some fun, but I've hit a snag.

For examples sake, I've got two arrays, activeAgents and houseArray. A number of movieclips (player controled units/agents) are stored in activeAgents and houseArray is used to store any agent that is "inside" the house.

If an agent in activeAgents hitTests the house that houseArray belongs to and the agent ISN'T already in the houseArray, then I want to add the agent from activeAgents INTO the houseArray.[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Remove Element From Array?

Jun 16, 2009

I have an array used to track shots fired from a cannon, and when they hit the ground they are removed.

I would like to know what is the most efficient way of finding and removing a certain element from an array. I heard that using pop() instead of splice() was faster, is it ?

Also, the big question I have is that the only way I see of actually finding the element in the array is using

Code:
for(i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == movieClipToRemove){
//i == movieClip index in the array
}
}

Then I would use either splice() or pop() to remove it from the array before deleting the MC. Is there a better way than scanning through the whole array comparing each element to the triggering MC ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Defining An Element In An Array?

Oct 4, 2011

I have an array, created as:

ActionScript Code:
myArray:Array = new Array(10)

pretty much just saying there is 10 elements in it. I define each function as "land", for example. Then in the same function I redefine a random element as "water".

(It is a bit more complex, this is simplified!)

Upon executing this I get the error:

ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

if I put the second bit in a new function (the random water part), there is no problems and it executes perfectly. Obviously I cant define an element twice in the same function.
