CS3 : Automatically Assign Variable Names?
Jan 27, 2010I'm working on a project using google maps. For part of it the user must enter coordinates and click a button in order to add a marker to a map. The code I have written so far allows this to be done once:

function submitdata(e:Event){

As it is the only one marker can be added as it keeps getting replaced. I want to make it so that the variable name changes each time a marker is to be added.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: How To Assign Auto Incremented ID Names To Buttons
Mar 25, 2011I am amateur in flex, and started my final year project in flex to learn it, I am stuck in place where I have to create rows of drop down lists when the user pressed add more, E.g.: like the ones in mail attachments. I think I have found a way to generate rows, I am not even sure whether it is a correct way, how I generate the rows:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="newRow">
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{cityDropdown}">
<s:DropDownList id="newbutton" creationComplete="hotelDropdown_creationCompleteHandler(event)" labelField="Name">
<s:AsyncListView list="{getAllHotelResult.lastResult}"/>
</s:DropDownList>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Now when I generate more rows the dropdownlist ids will conflict, so I want to know a way to generate ids, I think I cant even call a function in there.

May 20, 2011i have an array to load images with a loop, but then i wanted to get the names of the loaded images to add listener to each one... then i remember that all display objects in ActionScript 3 have a name property... then whenever i create a Loader object i can assign a name to it... but it does not work if i try to call the object by his name and add a listener... it only works if i put a conditional with the target name, so if i want to locate any of the other loaded objects for any porpouse it is not possible to me...

Actionscript 3.0 :: Assign Instance Names To Xml Created Objects?
May 21, 2009how to control dynamically created clips... What I've got is a series of objects on the stage, that have been created using an external xml file. here's the code for this...
Code: Select allfor each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem) {

I dont mind if it doesnt embed that fonts while im publishing for debugging. I just need it to publish with the glyphs when im showing it to the client.
Can embedding be set by code?
If it is i could just take some time out to set my dynamic text boxs to look at a specific class or somthing?
Or Am i missing a propertys overright button somewhere that will switch embeding off through out the project when I need to?

May 26, 2010Let me first say that the project I am working with was my first foray into AS3 as well as OOP. I wanted to be a grown up so I wanted to use classes and not rely on individual swfs.Unfortunately, I didnt quite understand the spirit of OOP, or at least I dont think I did, and I made each section of the site into a separate class. I then integrated the classes and their library materials into one large project. The thing works great - but unfortunately the file has gotten too big.What is the most straightforward way to now break this project back up? Do I need to load in external swfs

ActionScript 3.0 :: Instance Names And Variable Names: It Goes Deeper
Mar 20, 2011I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?
