ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Text To List?
Jan 31, 2011
I'm trying to implement an 'add text to list' feature on an interactive map I'm working on. Here is the run down on how it is supposed to work:
-User selects dot on the map.-A speech bubble gets brought up in the corner of the map application with the address and a picture. (These speech bubbles are movieclips from the Library that are loaded on to the stage when the user selects the dots) -This is where the user has the option to select a CheckBox inside the speech bubble movieclip, which will then update a list inside a movieclip (named 'backpack') which is offstage, but on the main timeline.
Here is an example of the code I am trying to work with: I have gotten it to work, but not when dealing with unloaded movieclips and what not.

Since my original post got moved to Components thread, but no one is responding and the majority of the people on the Forum are here, I'm gonna repost it here. I have an AS created List Component that is dynamically populated using a dataProvider populated from an XML document. When I addChild to the main timeline, everything works. When I addChild it into a MovieClip, the list shows up with the appropriate number of rows, but no text.[url]...

Just switched over to CS3, still adjusting to the many many changes. How on earth do you change the text color styles of a List component in AS3? I know it was easier to directly access the .color, .rollOverColor properties in AS2, but I can't find *ANY* comparable feature in AS3. I can see how everything else is skinned, by navigating the layers of symbols within the component.

Previously in AS2, to set the style for a List Component when the mouse was over an item you would simple set it with
Code:
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0x000000);
I've been trying to find info on how the heck you do this in AS3, cause the above dont work.i've been playing with the following code, but it does not have a rollOver property
Code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x00FF00;
tf.font = "Andale Mono";
tf.size = 14;
PS, normally when a programing language is changed, is is done at an easing speed, but AHHH! NO!!! not with AS3, it has changed 101%

I have a list control in a component mxml file. I have created a function in main mxml file, I want to input a text string and add it to this list. How can I do that. Currently using this code
public function add(event:MouseEvent):void {
var name:String = mytextinputid.text;
currentState = 'ChatScreen';
mylist.____
}
Note that this function is in main and the mylist list control is in component mxml.

I am trying to add an item to a list and have text display and have a different hidden value when i access selected items. I also need to do this with a loop.
Currently i am trying to add a label and set the labels id to my value. But the list just shows the ID and not the text.
var theLabel:Label = new Label();
theLabel.id = "123";
theLabel.text = "test";
lstLayerList_array.addItem(theLabel);

I have a list of twenty sentences (white characters) that I want to fade in from black, hold for (n) seconds, then fade out to black. I can do this by tweening but can it be done in AS2 in one frame?
1) Sentence one (n=3 seconds)
2) Sentence two (n=3 seconds)
3) Sentence three is slightly longer and would take longer to read (n=10 seconds)
4) ...etc

I've got some dynamic text (from coldfusion) coming in to my flash movie and I need to turn what's coming in into a bulleted list. right now it's a list of features delimited by commas like this: Anodized aluminum deck construction, anodized aluminum t-rail, extra heavy vinyl, Nextwave electrical system, etc., etc. Is this possible with actionscript?

The problem with the code below is that TextFormt does not support wordWrap which is upported by TextField(which, unfortunately has no effect on a List component).
var lb = new TextFormat(); lb.bold = true;
lb.align = TextFieldAutoSize. lb.color = 0x000066;
var sqsL:List = new List(); sqsL.rowHeight = 44;

I have a TextArea and a DataGrid. I've populated the DataGrid with a list of text files in a directory. Now I'm trying to load the selected file into the TextArea. I'm getting a null pointer exception when selecting a file from the list, which tells me I'm not accessing it right...I think.
<s:TextArea id="mainTextField" x="0" y="0" width="730" height="523"
editable="true" enabled="true"/>
<s:DataGrid id="list" x="730" y="0" width="294" height="523" dataProvider="{files}" gridClick="listHandler(event)">

I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.

I have a sortable list generated from xml. I'd like the user to be able to click on each of the items in the list and gotoandStop at a certain frame of the movie clip. Can this be done and how would I set that up in my actionscript and xml? I've tried a couple things and I am having a problem because of the sorting.

I've watched the tutorial on how to build an XML Video Playlist using the UI List Component. I'm wondering if there's a way instead to use a dynamic text box, or some other solution that doesn't require a component. I have a video object and a dynamic text box that successfully loads a videolist.xml file, and displays the contents (title, location, date) for each <video> node, separated by line breaks. Now I'd like to make the contents of each <video> node a link, which loads a new movie into the player. If this can't be done with a dynamic text box, can it be done some other way, not involving the use of a component?

Using loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck&
&mario=luigi&
&frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?

I've a carousel, that has got an image and a label that shows a description of the icon. It is done using It has got an ItemRenderer that renders the image above the icon description text. [URL].Up on click event I display the image and details of some text pertaining that image/icon.
Now I wanted to introduce a smaller 'x' icon on top right hand side of the icons so the user could remove the items he's not interested in from the carousel's list of items. This would dispatch a different event so removeIconEvent and clickEvent would be handled differently.

I have text that loads into a dynamic text field that is on the stage. The movie clip("tile" in code below) in which the dynamic text field resides is placed on the stage via loop function.I can load the text from the xml file just fine.However, since each text field in loop autosizes, which is what I want, (in height only-width is fixed), I want the next text in the loop to load in a Y position based on the previous text box height including a "cushion" of my choosing. I'm very close, but can't seem to get the math right that is needed for the tiles Y position...
Here it is:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("faq.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoad, false, 0, true);

I am trying to figure out how to proceed. Obviously this is a christmas project. The user will be presented with a text input to see whether their name is on the Naughty or Nice list at the North Pole. I would like to randomize which list the users name appears on. And perhaps give them an option to redeem themselves, by doing something "nice" if their name shows up on the naughty list.
