This obviously is not the way to it. I'm trying to add text from an array to a movieclip. The movieclips are created fine but all populated with the last value in the array. I was hoping to populate each instance with the next value in the array.

I am attempting to push an object into an array based on its instance name on the stage...how do I do this?
On my stage I've simply made a box, turned it into a movie clip named "mcBox" and have given it an instance name of "box_mc" on the stage. Here is my current test code:
Code:
var energy:Number = 0.75;
var boxArray:Array = new Array;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
[Code]....
Since the default amount of energy satisfies the if statement I push the movieClip into the array and then trace it. In my output I receive "[object MovieClip]"...is there anyway to distinguish it by its instance name?
I am trying to add data to an array from the textinput which I have created through for loop, but not working.
import fl.controls.TextInput;

myBt.x=50;myBt.y=200;

I am trying to add text to a moving movie clip. So what I have done is double clicked on the movie clip to go into it. I then added an actions layer and added this code.
var tf1:TextField;
function fontLoaded1(e:Event) {
tf1 = new TextField();
tf1.width=100;
tf1.height=60;
tf1.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
[Code] .....
As of yet, nothing is displaying on the movieclip. I don't get any errors. I have used the this keyword aswell, but still nothing.
What I'm trying to do is create a Simple Trivia Game by making the MovieClips and adding the text from the database (MySQL). Here's part of my code that I have working:
ActionScript Code:
private function displayAnswersText()
{
select1MC.x = 50;
[code]....
what I like to be able to do is have it where I could just have the movieClip be selectable by the mouse. However when I try the following:
ActionScript Code:
addChild(select1MC)
select1MC.addChild(select1TF)
It doesn't work for when I add an addEventListener like the following:
ActionScript Code:
select1MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, choice1);
select1MC.buttonMode = true;
using the second way it doesn't work
I am making a profile sort of thing, basically what happens is: You start the program... it loops, and generates 500 text fields, it stores them in an array called profile_name[]; it names them "Profile + (i+1) (i being the var used in the loop). Changes the colour to yellow, changes the size to 13. Removes the border from it and makes it unselectable (the text). It then converts the text into a movie clip (as if you made a dynamic text area, on the stage, and clicked it, and pressed f8, and converted to mc). It stores that in an array called profile_mcs[]. I need a way to access the text inside the movie clip in both they're arrays...
Example
If you go to your flash stage, make some dynamic text, call it "ptxt1", you make it unselectable, remove any border if it has one...
you name the text "test",
you select it, press f8, then convert to a movie clip called "test_text"
you name it "pbtn1" (the instance name I mean, when I say name)
If you go to the first frame of your main timeline and press f9 (action script section)
type
pbtn1.test.text = "NEW TEXT", it will name the text "test" inside the mc "pbtn1" to NEW TEXT...
However, if you store them into an array (both text and mc) you can no longer reference them like this:
MyMC_Array[0].MYText_Array[0].text = "NEW TEXT",
It doesn't show up, and making 500 if statements is to much (I think my problem may be when I traced my dynamic text inside the movie clip (that I've made on the stage) it appears as undefined.
Code:
var profile_name:Array (my text var) = [ptxt1, ptxt2, ptxt3, etc..];
I've tried doing
Code:
var profile_name:Array = [pbtn1.ptxt1, pbtn2.ptxt2]; etc..
None works,
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.
I'm new to AS3, but our teacher thinks we're all amazing geniuses and assigned us this project which was due last class. Great, I know, I have to do it even if it's late. Only 5 students out of 28 were able to finish the assignment.[code]Those are all the assignment details he gave us.All I have so far. What I have only adds the array to the list. Nothing much else.[code]Also, when the array prints on a new line, the prior item on the array must not print as show above.
View 6 RepliesI am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.
View 16 RepliesI have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?
I have a scrollpane in my library.Inside a movieclip, I create an image gallery and add it to the scrollpane.I do this in this function.[code]Now everything works fine, and no problems occur.I do however get the runtime error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::ScrollPane/endDrag()It doesnt seem to affect my file, but I am sure it would be better to try and get rid of it.I think it has something to do with adding my movieclip to the main movieclip, and maybe.I am not removing it when I add a different movieclip.Whenever I add a movieclip to the main one, I use container_mc.addChild(...);Does addChild check to see if a movieclip already exist, and remove it if it does? Or do I need to remove my clips beforehand?
View 2 RepliesI have a MovieClip called chipmovie which I have exported to a class method called ChipMovie, when I try and add it to another movieclip, for some reason it doesn't display.
I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:
init y = -151 height is 0

I'm making a slideshow with 7 pictures in it, what i want to do is add the images to the array.
image names/class(?) are image1, image2, image3, ... image7 and I'm adding them in a loop.
Code:
var arrayName:Array = new Array();
for(var i:int=0;i<6;i++){
arrayName[i] = //this is where I'm stuck
}
need help with that one line of code, and how to get the name right while using numbers in the array elements and, if possible, the class.
I've never done this before, but I'm prety sure its possible to store almost anything in an array.
How do I do this? I just want to be able to access its contents by array[x][y], but apparently that doesn't work for setting them, only reading.

I'm having a problem adding numbers that are loaded to dynamic text boxes. I'm using AS 2 (Flash 8). The numbers are loaded to the textboxes from a text file using a loadVars command. The text boxes have instance names of TELEMATICS and BOOK - I have a third textbox called (instance name) RESULT - the text file is called TEST1.txt. My problem is that after trying (and trying) several solutions in tutorials I am unable to add the values in TELEMATICs and BOOK to get a (sum) total in RESULT. My code to load the numbers is as follows:

i have a text field called Moneytxt and i want it so when u click on a box it somtimes adds 200 and somtimes adds 100 ( also i would like it to add up in numerical value example: if it adds 100 and it has 200 it equals 300 not 200100). I also have penniestxt where sometimes it adds 30 and somtimes it adds 40.
this is the code (box getting added is not included or addeventlistener)

var _box:Box=event.currentTarget as Box;

I have 4 buttons and on release of any of the buttons it will call a function. How do you apply a function to any member of an array?I've placed "any_btn" into my code below to show what I mean

This program has a green ball (var ballplayer) that theplayer moves around in 3D space using the numpad keys (8, 2, 6, 4)to move the green ball (up, down, right, left). And it also usesthe up and down arrown keys to move the ball along the z-axis.There are also five red balls moving around the screen. As the redballs collide they turn blue. The red/blue balls are z-sorted, sothat the balls closer to the viewer appear in front. The balls allmove around in an invisible cube that they bounce off. Problem: How do I get the player's green ball to be z-sortedwith the other balls? I think I either need to add the green ballto the array called balls before it is sorted. Or create an arrayfor the green ball and then add the two arrays together (if that'spossible) before z-sorting. I tried to add the green ball directlyto the balls array but it didn't seem to work. I'm new to AS3 andprogramming, so I may have made a simple mistake.

I have some 2D arrays. I would like to add a 3rd dimension. How do I add this 3rd dimension?
I don't know if I'm stating this correctly but what I would like to do is have an array that holds a bunch of [thumb.jpg, number, bigpic.jpg]. This way all the values entries are related. So if I wanted to get any of these values I could use the same key value.
I don't know if this makes sense. Plus, do I get the values of the 3rd dimension by using [i][2] in a for-loop? I know that [i][0] gets the 1st dimension and [i][1] gets the 2nd dimension.
I want to loop through an array and call the same method for each button instance. So instead of hardcoding this:[code]

View 1 RepliesHow to add text to a dynamic text field so that a line of text is created, and you can keep on adding to it. I need it to simply add a number to the text line everytime certain buttons are pushed rather than multiplying it like a score in a game and I think I have gone wrong somewhere.
Here's my example: I have multiple buttons on the stage and each button has a different value applied to it (eg: BTN1 has 1, BTN2 has 2, BTN3 has 3 and so on...)
So (as an example) I was wanting to end up with the following in my dynamic text field "1132" if "BTN 1" was clicked 2x and "BTN 3" was clicked 1x and "BTN 2" was clicked 1x......
which equals...... 1132
I'm trying to use the following actionscript but instead of it adding to my line of dynamic text it adds to it like so... 1+1 = 2
BTN1...
on (release) {
_root.equationcount+=1;
}
I'm now wondering if I should be using "count+" at all? My var for the dynamic text field is "_root.equationcount"
