I am adding a mc to the stage (linkage name: SavedTopic) via mouse click calling this function. There will be a random number of these clips, based on user decisions. How can I set the 'savedTitle' and 'savedText' as variables unique to this specific MC, that can be accessed later via textbox inside the 'topic' movie clip. I've tried:

I'm trying to find the way to attach the same actionscript to multiple buttons(over 100 buttons) at one time, instead of copying and pasting the actionscript in every frame. I have over 100 buttons as a seperate object in the library. In timeline, there are 100 keyframe, that each frame contains one button. Each instance is from one button. I don't want to write a same actionscript in for every button object. Is there anyway to get around that?
View 2 RepliesI have created a map (1 frame movie) at Flash MX 2004, that each area is a movieclip. Each movieclip has a unique name. I am trying to dynamically attach events to each movieclip, by reading their corresponding names from an XML file, with the following code:
Code:
areas_xml = new XML();
areas_xml.onLoad = initAreaBtns;
areas_xml.load("map_data.xml");

As you can see I am trying to create a roll over effect for each area/movieclip. The problem is that only the last movieclip is affected.

View 2 RepliesI am having problems with attaching multiple instances of the same mc, and tring to get an onMouseDown event for each of them.
The problem is that if I mousedown on one of the attached mc's, then all the attached mc's will trigger the onMouseDown event instead of only the one I clicked on.
the trace returns "onMouseDown called on 1" ...."n" instead of a single trace statement.
code:
function createSlideIcons(num){
var targetMC:MovieClip = this.form1.slideNav.slider;
var spacer = 5;

how to eliminate previos attach before move to next attach MC..let say as u can see in my code..I just settign the interval..for 2 second..in other to attach the mc on eby one...so how to set up the code so that if the 2nd mc has attach it'll remove the 1st one attach for certain time...and so on..the scenario like this..
mc1 attach
after 2 second
mc2 attach --> remove mc1
after 2 second

I want to put multiple inputtext values into an array, but code below wont work.

When you want to split a string in to an array, seperated by the letter "e" for example. So string: 0e5e8e7 would become 0,5,8,7..[code]Is there a way you could split a string by multiple values? So instead of it splitting the string when it comes across "e", could you have it split when it comes across "e", or another character.

I want to run a single function based on multiple values.

I am working on an RPG-type game, and in this game I've defined multiple objects for characters, named char1, char2, etc, then assigned the objects values such as Health, Magic, Strength, etc. I then created a dummy object with all of these same values, except every value is set to zero. There are some 30 values in every object.
I would like to see if I could do something like:
Code:
dummychar = char1;
to transfer all of the values from char1 to dummychar instantly without having to define every value transfer, however, I can't seem to find the correct bit of code, because doing the above seems to erase all the values from the dummychar object completely.
The point of this excersize is the make the dummychar object a placeholder so I can switch char1 with char2, meaning char1 would take char2's place, and vice versa. The dummychar object will hold the values for char1, then char2's values will overwrite char1's values, then the dummychar's values will overwrite char2's.
So, in pseudocode:
Code:
dummychar = char1;
char1 = char2;
char2 = dummychar;
My current way of doing this includes telling every single value in the char objects to transfer, but that takes up quite a bit of coding space, and I was wondering if there is an easier way.

Is there a way to parse a single XML attribute into an array?
Something like

What I have is two buttons that when clicked they add an input text field and a third button that puts a text field and gives you the total value of the two input fields after the user inputs some numbers, the problem is that the buttons adding the input fields can be clicked multiple times and of course adding a new input field each time they are clicked and as you can imagine when I try to add the values I only get the result of the last two fields added.
How can I tweak my code so it adds-up the total value of all input fields on the stage?
I didnt test my code it may have some errors, I just put it together to show the concept.
ActionScript Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addTotal);

right way to solving this problem, the truth is im not even sure how to structure it before Ive even got down to coding...the scene

I want to have each text identified as marketLocation1, marketLocation2, etc up to 150 and I wanted to use a 'for loop' to place the value of that XML node into each labeled textfieldHowever, the only issue is... each individual text field is buried inside a button so that the button displays on mouseover an associated XML fields data.Meaning, I mouse over a dot on a map (button) and it pulls up a statistics balloon about that location specific to our companies needs. I'm a total AS3 noob, so I'm not sure if I should be calling to the XMLdata loaded for a specific set of values on entry to that mouseover, or if I can preload the data for that button into it's specific text fields.Specifics are for the xml/flash file

<market MarketID=1>

I am currently using this AS to randomize an array:
Code:
function shuffle(wordtestmix,b):Number {
var num : Number = Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
return num;

and would still like to randomize the array without splitting the two values up.
What is the best way to declare this type of array and also adjust the randomize code in order to mix it correctly.
How can i update multiple cells of the same row changing the value of a single cell of the same row ??
Example: id, height, weight, fat percentage, corporal mass. When i change one of the values in a row (except id of course) the corporal mass cell value must change using a formula like: (height/weight2)*fat percentage*100. Is this posible with Datagrid or AdvancedDatagrid in Flex ??
I tried using custom item renders and inserting actionscript code inside the datagrid with no good result.
I am creating a card game application in that dynamic movieclips created on stage and inside those movieclips different cards can drop, which have some values.
If one movieclip contains one card and another movieclip contained two cards and all the other movieclips 3rd,4th,5th.. etc contains some cards then, if i want to go back and want to drop another card at the top of the old one, than how i can do this, because when i go back and drop a new card inside movieclip than it replaces the old one. i don't want to create a new array for each movieclip.
I have an arbitrary number of object instances on the stage. At any one given time the number of objects may be between 10 and 50. Each object instance can move, but the movement is gradual, the current coordinates are not predictable and at any given moment I may need to retrieve the coordinates of a specific object instance. Is there a common best-practice method to use in this case to track object instance coordinates? I can think of two approaches:
I write a function within the object class that, upon arbitrary event execution, is called on an object instance and returns that object instances coordinates.
Within the object class I declare global static variables that represent x and y values and, upon arbitrary event execution, the variables are updated with the latest values for that object instance.

someThin.text = String(value1) I'm using the above code to pass an integer to a dynamic textBox.The problem is I'd like to post a second variable (value2) in the same textBox as well as a '/' between them. I could use multiple textboxes but that just seems sooooo inefficient.
I've tried the following permutations and none have worked.
someThin.text = String(value1 ' ' value2) ;
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' (value2);
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' String(value2);
If you have two textareas, one has a rotation value besides 0 and the other has no rotation value or a value of 0 and you 'tab' focus from the one w/rotation to the one w/out. The border around the textArea w/out rotation will be rotated. If you set the rotation value of the non-rotated text field to a non-zero number, even 0.01, it fixes the problem, this causes tons of other problems in text rendering though so its not a solution.
I found setting the focusThickness style to 0 removes the border, which is a good solution but not a great one, anybody got a better one? Here is some sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
