ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Text To A MovieClip Dynamically?
Jul 28, 2011
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

Here's what I want to accomplish, I'm doing a listing of all the shows done by my band, I've written all the info into a XML file ( date, location, venue, info and a URL to get to the gig ) and I made a MovieClip with 4 field text to display the information.
So far I can read the XML file, I can addChild my MovieClip they stack neatly in a column to the stage...my problem is, after that, I don't know how to refer to them on the stage to get the url link that I've written in my XML file....here is my AS.
Pascal
//--- load the gig info ---
var xmlgig:XML;
var showlist:XMLList;

I need to work in as2 and I would like to add a blank movieclip to the stage, then the user can draw in it, but but only within certain confines. So I tried to set a mask but its just not working. :-(
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("draw_mc", 1);
_root.attachMovie("mask_mc", "instance1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
draw_mc.setMask(instance1);

How to add random movie clip to stage from many different movie clips in library? If I wanted to add one movie clip to stage I would do liko so:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
function onMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip = new Ball();
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
addChild(mc);
}
Code above works perfect but I tried following but with no success, no errors, but nothing happens - no mc's are added to stage. I have 6 movie clips in library and they all are linked, exported for actionscript. On MouseOver I want to add random movie clip from those six movie clips to the stage.
Code:
var myArray:Array = [mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onLoop);
function onLoop(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i< myArray.length; i++) {
var randomMc:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[randomMc];
addChild(mc);
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
}}

I was asked to create a flash product configurator:
1) true 3D visualization of the product (not perspective)
2) customization by the user to add uploaded images and texts to the product and styling text as he wants applying font e color. I have doubts about adding text and images to a 3D object and render them on the fly.
3) and optionally, save that configuration for a successive editing or to propose last saved model to other users. For this I thought to save the 3D clip as a file and then reload it.
Is this achievable flash AS3? If yes, can I use some 3D flash library like Sandy 3D?

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.

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 have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)
Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var ant_index:Array = new Array(10);//index for ants
var ant_number:int;

how I would normally generate a dynamic text field,
Code:
this.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....
I would like to target the text field so it is generated inside a movieclip for example something like,
Code:
_root.Mymovieclip.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordwrap = true;
myTextField.text = "text1";[code]....

I'm finishing up a project that has a grid of 60 buttons -- two different button movieclips on which I've done some scripting for links, alpha tweens, etc. Each instance of the movieclip button is uniquely named.
In side each of the two different style of movieclip buttons is a dynamic text field that, unfortunately, is sized to the dimensions of the movieclip background. Thus, when dynamic text is pulled in (from XML-based arrays) to populate the movieclip buttons, it is top aligned if only 1 line long. Given this current setup, how can I dynamically center (vertically and horiztonally) the dynamic text field within each of the two movieclip buttons?

Lets say you have a bunch of similar movieclips and you want to move anyone of them dynamically. We would use:

Something like that. However, my issue is not selecting a movieclip dynamically, but selecting another movieclip dynamically within a dynamically selected movieclip.

I'm creating receives xml from the asp server its on.Because of this, there isn't an xml file that I can open and add to in the places I need carriage returns.To compensate for this, I've been using the split and join method.[code]Essentially I'm looking for certain nodes in the xml and adding a carriage return to the beginning of it.I had to add the extra quotes around the otherwise it doesn't work.The problem with this is, the carriage return works but it leaves the single quotes in the text.I tried adding another split join method that looks for the single quotes left and replaces them with nothing.The problem with this is, it deletes all the single quotes from the contractions.

I'm querying the Rotten Tomatoes API for Upcoming Movies. For each movie returned, I'm creating an instance of MovieIcon (MC). I'm then adding this MC as a child of a Container MovieClip that's already on the scene. Each time, I'm incrementing the xPosition of each MovieIcon MC such that, they're positioned next to each other.My container MC has a mask applied to it, therefore any child objects that are positioned beyond the size of the mask, they're are hidden from view. How can I dynamically add a tween/easing animation between all these MovieIcon MC's so that when I hover over the Container MC, it 'scrolls' left or right, depending on the mouse motion?

I 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 am dynamically adding columns based on values received from an array. The columns are getting generated properly.But the problem is when I try to insert values for each column, I have to specify each column name in the addItem function.So the addItem function accepts only hardcore values which match my column names --- but it does not accept dynamic column names.Since it does not accept dynamic column names, it can't populate appropriate values related to each column.scoreBoardData is the instance name of my DataGrid component
Here's the code:
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
var obj:Object = {"systime":1323323297534,"id":1,"dest":"123234","source":"1983","ack"

I am reading in collection objects from an XML file. Each collection has an img field that stores a URL to the collection image. So I am trying to load the images of each collection, storing each image in a MovieClip, and add these MovieClips to the stage. However, my problem is that after adding a MovieClip (with the collection image) to the stage, when a new MovieClip is created in my 'for each' loop it overrites the previous MovieClip. So the images I am adding to the stage are being replaced by the following collection's image on each loop iteration. What can I do to avoid this?

I'm trying to make a quiz in flex and am loading data from an xml file. For each question I want to create a radiobuttongroup so I can associate radio buttons to it. How can I accomplish that with actionscript? I can see that addChild method works for DisplayObjects and I presume that radiobuttongroup is not one because I'm receiving errors. How can I dynamically add radiobuttongroup with actionscript in flex application?

generally, how i work involves designing all of my graphics in Flash Authoring, converting them to Sprite symbols by changing the base class to flash.display.Sprite, give my instances names and finally export them to ActionScript.the approach actually permits me to dynamically create properties in code on my Sprite instances that i've exported to ActionScript, just as if they were instances of MovieClips. i'm not entirely sure why i'm able to do this, but i can. in polling the objects to make sure of their superclass, they are indeed Sprites and not MovieClips.however, as expected, if i program a new sprite from scratch in code and try to dynamically add a property to the new programmed sprite a compile time error will result.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have an image (.jpg file) in the library and I want to instantiate it dynamically through timeline code and then add it to stage. But I do not want to drag it and drop it from the library to stage, I want to keep it in the library and add it to stage through code only... how can I do that?

I am trying to write some code for someone show wants to be able to control their timeline animation by using the slider component. Everything was going fine until I tried to add the Play and Pause buttons to the stage. I instantiated both movieclips and added "stage.addChild(<mcName>);" but neither clip showsup when I test the movie. I tried removing "stage." but that didn't help either.
I tried to find a solution to my problem online, and while I haven't figured it out yet, it seems that these movieclips might need to be part of a function. This could be totally incorrect, but it's the best guess I have right now.
My AS code is below. (I couldn't get the .FLA file to zip small enough, but if anyone wants it, I'll find a way.) See comment "// PLAY/PAUSE CODE" for Play/Pause buttons.
Code:
//SLIDER CODE
// Import slider and movieclip classes
import fl.controls.Slider;

Yes, another one of those pour souls attempting to escape the confines of AS2 and venturing into the AS3 world! I'm simply trying to dynamically add an image frame (imgframe) to the stage, sticking an image holder (imgholder) into the image frame mc and then loading an image into the image holder mc. Here's the code I've been using as a test, but it spits out errors saying that a term is undefined on "mainmask_mc.imgframe.addChild(imgholder);" code. I've tried changing it to various things, but nothing works.
