//I want to access the button "myButton1" here. How would I do that? the example below does not work myButton1.label = "something else" I have created a set of x number of buttons with the code above and added them to the stage. My question is now do I access the button again if I want to change something like the label?
Is there any way to change Spark button label dynamically? When i click on it, i want the label to change. I bind the String to label and gives value for the first time, but even flashBuilder shows me that Data binding will not be able to detect assignments. Here is my button:
<s:Button name="button" label="{butt}" x="5" y="3" useHandCursor="true"
click="start()" buttonMode="true" cornerRadius="5"
skinClass="skins.CustomButtom"/>
And here is assigment:
public var butt:String = "Start";
Anybody know how to change the label text color associated with a radio button component in timeline-based AS3? I know in older versions you just said: btnName.color=[rgb color...]
View 1 RepliesWhy can't I change the radio button color to white?

View 3 RepliesI have a button inside a movieclip. When the button is clicked I want it to make a movieclip in the main timeline go to a specific frame. what's the code I need to use to define that movieclip located on the main timeline? Right now I have my code written inside the movieclip where the button is located because I have multiple buttons on multiple frames, and I don't know the syntax to define a button in a specific frame inside a movieclip.
Here's my current coding...
Code:
Select allfunction bwbtn2(btn:SimpleButton,frame:Number) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function() {photobw_img.gotoAndStop(frame);});
}
bwbtn2(bw19_btn,19);
I have a button in my application and I want it to respond a bit in a special way. Initially the label color of the button is White, I want the color of the text to change to 50% white on the Over State and to 25% on the Down state. Is this possible?
I tried an alternative way using css which does not do the percentage stuff but only changes the color (see css code below), but this does not seem to work. I more specifically want the color to change in terms of percentage like I mentioned above.
Note that I am using the Skin file only to loads images for each state on the button.
s|Button#specialButton {
downSkin: Embed(source="text.swf", symbol="btn_focus");
overSkin: Embed(source="text.swf", symbol="btn_hover");

I have created one button component using one Bitmap and one Label in it. Thing is that when user Clicks on on the button I want to changes button's Icon/Image and Label Text. I want to do this using FlashCS5 and ActionScript-3. I have tried following but it gives me runtime Error

Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});

However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
I want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

I'm just getting started switching from flash to flex for the better components. I am trying the simple experiment of adding a button and then changing the label. This code does not work. It does not recognize myButton. In flash I could access a button instance after adding it using the instance name. Can't you do this in flex?
<s:Button x="50" y="42" label="Button" id="myButton"/>
<fx:Script>

I must be doing something very stupid here. I have a tab-based menu that has different states for different purposes. I store these states in an Array and have a function I can call when I need the menu to change, which works fine.
But what I cannot at all understand right now is how to access the elements inside the newly create tabs (to add EventListeners for example).

I have a project underway where I am making an interactive game. It is a personal character creator game and I need Actionscript 3 help with this.Something similar here:http:[url]....
I have tried already with toggling visibility and 'gotoAndStop()' to make items appear over other items when the corresponding button is pressed, for example, when the user tries out different pants/shirts on their character.
I'm trying to create a nested list in Flex which will dynamically resize to display all children when the data provider changes.
Here's a simplified example which illustrates the problem:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Code].....
The list sizes remain static when items are added.
If I add variableRowHeight="true" to the outer list then the inner lists will correctly resize. But the outer list itself remains at a fixed size.
How can I have both lists resize automatically to display all children?
I have a data grid and there's a method attached to clicking on any item in a row of the grid.Now, some of the items in the table row are also buttons. Each of these are associated with a different action.We only want one of these actions to be performed.[code]we have currently a member variable to track which selection was made and to ignore the the contents of the other method (the else portion of the method resets this value).Now, if the methods just happen to execute in a different order (or at the same time), the behavior will be unpredictable.Is the member variable flag the way to do this (it smells so bad)?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to organize a presentation using several movieclips as "scenes." The problem I have is related to buttons nestedwithin those mc's--I would like them not to be available until eachindividual mc begins, but if I don't include the buttons on thefirst frame of the mc timeline, the main timeline cannot accessthem (and throws me an error)
View 8 RepliesI would like to rotate the yellow circle mc, w/ it's nested white circle movie clip, and use the drawing API to have a line continuously drawn to the white circle as it moves around.
I'm using the code below. The line gets drawn to a static point, and not to the white circle (smBall) movie clip as I would expect.

I'm working on an educational game that interacts with randomly selected characters. The names and attributes are imported from xml. I have a mc called characters that contains each character on a frame tagged with their name. The frame label is the characters name and I am having no problem displaying each character as they are randomly called.
Code:
characters = new Characters();
characters.gotoAndStop(characterName);
characters.y = 350;
gameSprite.addChild(characters);
Each charater is a mc with 2 frames one with mouth closed and one with mouth open. Because the characters are accessed using the variable characterName as the frame tag I can't figure out how to tell the movie in AS3 to gotoAndStop on frame 2 of the character mc. I've tried numerous variations and just can't get it to work.
This is probably a very simple solution, but I can't seem to find it online. Basically, I have a button that need to change a movieclip's frame in it's parent.So I tried:
ActionScript Code:
_parent.slideshowImages.gotoAndStop(2);
But it's not working! I know I'm getting to the right locaiton because _parent holds a variable, and I can access that just fine. But I for some reason can't access the movieclip at all.
Note: I can't upgrade to AS3 (What I'm used to) as this isn't my file.
I'm trying to activate a nested movie clip with a button in the main timeline. I want the button to move the nested clip to the 2nd frame, thereby passing over the stop(); in the first frame. I'm not sure how to point the button at the correct timeline, though.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to access some information in XML. I got the first few nodes working, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get to the nested nodes. I've tried everything i can think of. I thought it would have to do with nested for loops, but i couldn't get it to work. What am I missing? I've been pretty successful with simple XML, and this is relatively simple too, but more than I'm used to at this point... If there is a better way to do any of this, I'm all ears (or all eyes in this case )

I have a movie clip (assigned to a class) with several keyframes. Each keyframe consists of another movieclip, which contains an animation and all use the same name. Lastly, several of the animations contain a third movieclip, which is also assigned to a class and also use the same name. I need the first movieclip to speak to the third, unfortunately, it simultaneously tells me that the clips in the second layer (the ones at the keyframes) exist and do not exist. Namely: second layer "does not exist" in that the primary movieclip has only one child: a null. If I add other movieclips to the primary's frames, they also report back as nulls depending on what frame I'm on. I've tested this in several parts of the code, though I suppose it's possible that I managed to pick five equally bad spots. It's just so bizarre I still don't know what to think about it. However, the second layer of named clips are there, but I can only prove it by deliberately breaking the code in hopes of deliberately getting a reference error (by attempting to make the clip private, which isn't allowed given my setup).
View 0 RepliesWhat is the code to make you jump to a "Label" in a parent movie clip, when clicking on a button.Lets say the buttons name is push_btn and I am in mc2 and the label is located in mc1.
View 8 RepliesI have an Accordian in my application. Each child of the accordian has a label firstNameLabel) and a button (addPolicyButton). The label's value is being set via Repeater and an array. How can I access the firstNameLabel's value of 'selected child of the accordian' when the addPolicyButton is clicked?In following code testTextArea.appendText prints 'fname: undefined' in the testTextArea.Where as I can see in the accordian that the set label's text is set to 'Michael' which is what repMonitor.currentItem.firstName returned.
Code:
private function addPolicy():void{
testTextArea.appendText("fname:"+firstNameLabel.text);

If you have a series of sprites created in a loop:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numItems.length(); i++) {
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
}
Which you added event listeners to, in the same loop:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numItems.length(); i++) {
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.addEventListener(....
}
How can you remove those listeners, then add them again? I need to kill and re-enable the listeners of many sprites which were created that way.
How do you access Library items from classes other than the document class?For example, if I create a movie clip in Flash and Export it for Actionscript with the name Foo, I can do this in the document class:
Code: Select allvar f = new Foo();
this.addChild(f);
And it appears on the stage, as it should. But I need to be able to create other instances of this object from other classes. If I use the same code above in SomeOtherClass.as, I get nothing on the stage, obviously because this class doesn't know about the Foo object in the library.
This is probably something very simple, but I'm not too sure of the code used to access items within an array.Suppose I have an array like this (using Kirupa's Arrays example):
grocery = ["bananas", "oranges", "apples", "kiwis"];
trace(grocery);
And we've loaded up the corresponding variables/text for "bananas", thus the current item = bananas.Therefore the next item would be "oranges". How can I tell Flash that I want to access this next item?? (I'd like to be able to access it through a variable so that the same action can be applied when the item is "oranges" to move to the next item, which would now be "apples").
I'm using a preloader to load an external SWF then initiating it through its document class using this code:
Code:
private function loaderCompleteListener(event : Event) : void {
var loaderInfo : LoaderInfo = event.target as LoaderInfo ;
[Code]....
The problem i'm getting is that the Flash that is being loaded has a lot of classes exporting on the first frame, which now cannot be accessed, and therefore I get "The definition of base class cannot be found" errors.
How do I ger the items in the library that export to AS accessible by the parent loading SWF.
After quite some time I finally decided to pick up Flash again, this time taking the OOP route. I'm a bit rusty though, so I'm stuck on something pretty basic.Here's my Layout of relevant objects and scripts:
Stage > gunAmmo (TextField)
Stage > player (MC) > pistol (MC)
........ > player.as > pistol.as
As you might've guessed, what I'm trying to do is set the gunAmmo.text property from within my pistol class. I've tried using MovieClip(root).gunAmmo, stage, etc., but neither seems to be working. I sort of get why, but I don't know what the correct syntax is. (And yes, the TF's instance name has been set correctly.
I have the following code nested in a movieclip, how can I reference the stage correctly from that movieclip?

function reactToArrowKeys(keyEvent:KeyboardEvent):void
