ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Button Instances Created With XML Data?
Nov 29, 2009
this is my first post on this forum so please take it easy on me as I am sure that this will be a simple answer for most of you out there. Here is what I am working with: I have dynamically added 4 buttons to the stage using XML data and a loop to place as many buttons as will allow per the data. Once the game begins, a MovieClip that I have also added to the stage will jump randomly from frames 1-16 and stop using a stage event listener. I need to have event-listeners on each of the buttons I have created using the XML data to check to see if the user has selected a correct answer. I had intended on using a function that would check to see which button was clicked and check to see what frame the movieClip was on when that button was clicked and judge right or wrong that way.

[code]My code will:
- loop through the Grid array and place each tile on the stage
- assign RedBall a random Grid coordinate and places it on the stage at that coordinate
I want to be able to click RedBall, which will create a border around the tile beneath RedBall, and create borders around the tiles above, below, to the left and to the right. BUT, I don't want to reference the tiles by their distance in pixels from RedBall or from each other; I want to reference the tiles by their coordinates in the Grid array. So I want to:
- get the coordinates of RedBall
- use those same coodinates to reference the tile at the same coordinates in the Grid array
- use the tile's coordinates to reference the tiles above/below/left/right
- apply a border to all these tiles
What's the best way to reference an instance of a tile? Should I apply a name to each instance as it's created in the loop? like myTile.name = "tile"+i+"_"+j; ? If so, how do you reference that instance later? Just tile1_3 ? Do you have to prepend it with root, or stage, or the class it was originally created in? Do you have to use getChildByName? OR, can you still reference it later without having given it a name?

I have a situation where I create many instances of an MC, one for each node in an XML file (using a for loop), using attachMovie.
Code:
var photo_mc = _root.center_mc.photosLevel1_mc.attachMovie("photoFrame_mc", photoName, itemCount);

I'm creating a DDR style game. The 'moving graphics' are being randomly and dynamically created with the default instance name (instance28, instance 30...) I want to be able to refer to these different elements according to another movie clip I press (in this case, they look like piano keys).
So, if a 'C' moving graphic is created, I want the C movie_clip with a listener attached to check the 'C' moving graphic.

i'm rockin' with creating prototype classes, however, i've run into something i can't explain when i am trying to call my prototype classes--in this case, i have a prototype class called interfaceClass, which contains several class functions--i've also created an instance of the class, called 'ui':
interfaceClass.startGame=function(){

im develloping an application for create a layout of advertising newspaper. the user can set the number of pages, and create rectangles represanting the adverts, then drag them and place them into the the representation of the page.the display list is as follow: on the main stage there is inputs textfields and a button that create the pages according to the number that the user typed.Then instances of the pages are created (MC Page in the lybrary exported for AS as Page and i have a class Page as well). Inside this clip Page i have my tools for create the rectangles and drag and place.....As well as the instances of my pages are created, button(1 for each Page) are also created. NOTE that Page and button are in the main stage My probleme is that i want my button to change the depth of is related page for it can be on top or alpha at 100% or the visibilty to true, but my button doesnt find the instance name of the pages at the export because they are not yet created.

I'v been toying with this for a few weeks now and I'm trying to find the best way to animate several instances of an object created by a for loop thru an ENTER_FRAME function.When the function runs only 1 of the 3 instances that were created animates.
var balloonArray:Array = new Array();var balloon: hotAirBalloon;var xVel: Number = -3;var yVel: Number = -4;

I thought this would be simple but for some reason I'm having all kinds of problems. Why won't the for loop create a new c instance each time the loop increments, like it does for sHolder and s? ...And, assuming it is possible to make it do this, how can each instance be given an identifier that can be accessed dynamically, like sHolder and s in the traceSomething function?

I am new to AS3 but not to AS2. I have written a simple class and when I import it, I don't see the object that should be created upon calling the constructor. Can you guys tell me where am I going wrong. And I am very puzzled about 'document class'. Yes, I have google numerous threads on "document class" but still very shaky on this matter. Here is my simple class which should place a button object on the stage when I create a new object of this class. Once I have created the BTN class, I have made sure that I have button component in my library, I then instantiate the object by creating a new CS3 file and importing my class:
import com.learning.as3.*;
var b:BTN = new BTN();
When I test the movie, I get the following errors:
1172: Definition com.learning.as3 could not be found.
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
BTN.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method BTN.

I have a question about the Java Factory; I've read somewhere that: "... the JavaFactory will check if there is already an instance in the scope and return that. If the object is not available then it is instantiated ...", but I don't understand the expression "if the object is not available"?I am having trouble to find and/or assign classes already instantiated (by another class) in the server, to a declared destination.
I'm developing an application in Java: J2EE.I'm running it on a Tomcat 6 server I'm using BlazeDS to communicate with Flex. I'm using the RPC's Remoting Service (through RemoteObjects)There are two java classes that handle Client (Flex) interaction, say ApplicationClass and UserApplicationClass:

I've always just developed my projects in as3 instead of mxml and I usually just setup my application to run a main actionscript file as my main doc root, sort of like how you do it in flash but in flash builder I do something like this:[code] how can I call place a call to that function hitme() within the call_from_outside() function between the <fx:Script> tags?The reason why I'm doing this is because I have some flash swfs that I load into another swf file and I can access the top level public functions of those flash swfs, however the top level of the flash builder/flex swfs is the main mxml file not my fake as3 class root. Of course I should think there is a way for me to access the as3 class methods of the mxml component but for keeping things with the same structure, I can bypass having to modify my loader scripts.

I have a MovieClip which has a couple of text boxes embedded inside it. I'm trying to load data from an XML file and populate the text fields with this data. That's fine, all good. What I also need to do is create an instance of that MovieClip for each instance of a certain tag in the XML, and then load that instance of the MovieClip with the relevant information.
So, for this XML file (reduced to show only 2 CD entries):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CATALOG>
<CD>
[Code]....
So a new instance of myCirc needs to happen on each <CD> from the XML, and it's text fields need to contain the information from the XML.
It's working, but I get instances which contain all the text from all the <CD> sections of the XML, each one has all the titles, countries etc.

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

I am calling some data from php, which simply retrieves some data from MySQL. The tables retrieved are called dynamically and so I have a list of those tables sent to actionscript below and called by event.target.data.its and event.target.data.ces. These will have a list of the tables called. I then send the name/value pairs to actionscript from php by using those table names (all inside of php here) dynamically.
$sql3 = "SELECT * FROM `specialties`";
$getit = mysql_query($sql3);
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($getit)){

We have a for loop creating text fields from arrays.
We have four arrays.
First three arrays create dynamic textfields getting their data values from a xml file.
The last array creates empty input textfields where the user enters the data.
What I'm trying to do is to send the values of these textfields to a PHP file.
The problem here is that I'm not being able to get the updated data of dynamically created input fields,which is the data that the user(visitor) enters.
P.S. : I'm using flash CS4 with action script 2.

i've been struggling with the following:
i am creating a list of buttons with an attachMovie. the AS is :
//as
var i = -1;
while(++i<userlist.length){
var user = userlist[i];
[Code].....
okay the problem is this: then i assign an on click function to every button right in the while loop that uses the data parameter of the "ob" object and when i play the movie the data parameter is always the parameter of the last object created for all the buttons. I know why this is happening- it overWrites the old "ob" with the new with every itteration of the loop.
But how would i go differently about creating an individual "ob" for each button created and still be able to have a function with a data parameter like this.onRelease.userClicked(data)?

In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or loads the image and shows a progress bar). This function is called by clicking on a thumbnail, and it uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property "name" of the thumbnail clicked, which is an integer (or I believe so). The thumbnails are placed inside the cointaner_mc MovieClip.
Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){[code]...
but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would need to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers to the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.I tried this:
Code:
clickThumb(image_num + 1);
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type flash.events:MouseEvent.
How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use "image_num + 1" instead of "e.target.name" ?
Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this value "image_num + 1" ?
