Everything works fine except MouseEvent.CLICK addEventListener.menuInfo variable contains part of defined instace name.cURL contains full URL to link.If I trace menuInfo variable, it outputs correctly in order as I exptected.But last event overwrites everything to last element of xList (contains XML list).How do I make this work correctly
Code:
function createMenuEventListener(xList:XMLList):void

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI want to add a series of event listeners. they work fine in individual lines of code:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
but when i use this loop, i get a 1006 error, "value is not a function":
ActionScript Code:
var buttonNumber:Number;
var buttonName:Array=new Array("home","resume","portfolio","contact");
for (buttonNumber=0;buttonNumber<4;buttonNumber++) {
buttonName[buttonNumber].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,route); }
is there something obvious that's wrong with my last line in that loop? i've narrowed it down to the part where I call the array value. but after that - I'm at a loss!
I am trying to add event listeners to a series of buttons using a for loop but can't get the event listeners to trace the name of which button was rolled over. Here's a simplified version of the code.

I am creating an app with Papervision, and I'm trying to create an interactive grid.I have created a for loop to lay out each tile of the grid, but I want each tile to be individually interactive. I have tried a few things but no luck so far. This is basically how far I am:
Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 10; i++) {
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 10; j++) {
[code].....
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
teacherOptions.btnAction[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnAction);
}
I have 3 buttons inside the teacherOptions movie clip and they are called
btnAction0
btnAction1
btnAction2
The code I am using doesn't seem to work...I don't want to create an event listener for each of the buttons beacuse they are going to be a lot more than 3, how can I do what I want to do but without errors ??
PD: I know that if the buttons weren't a suboject the correct code would be:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
this["btnAction" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnAction);
}
But when it's a subobject you are dealing...things change.

I have 14 movie clips on the stage, each of which has it's own on and off mode and each goes to a separate URL.I would like to use loops to consolidate the code however I am having trouble with the handler.So far I am using the code below but the question is how do you give each button it's own functionality since the handler is the same?

I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol);
trace(i);

My master timeline is 128 frames long, I want the timeline to play from frames 1 to 128 once and then from frames 64 to 128 three or four times before returning back to frame 1 and starting the whole sequence again so I end up with a continuous loop that consists of the full animation once and the second half 3-4 times all repeating endlessly. I've been reading about "for" loops and guess this is what I need to use but I don't quite get how to set it up, how I'd set up a counter to count the repeats, and how it would reset etc.

View 2 RepliesI have a for loop that runs depending on the length of an XML file. What I want to do is create a unique text field for each run through of the loop, and give it it's own position on the stage, and finally assign it the text from an external text file that is specified in the XML file. Everything I know how to do except creating the textfields.

{
var txtHolder:TextField = new TextField();

This code creates only one Text Field, but then replaces it's text with new text with each run through.

Im trying to create a simple loop that creates 50 buttons, adds them to screen and then when a button is pressed, it traces out that number. I can get it to work by doing stuff I consider hacky (such as using the buttons X/Y location to determine its value), but I'd rather just be able to hold a single value in the function.
The code itself is:
for (var a:int = 0; a < 5; a++) {
for (var b:int = 0; b < 10; b++) {

View 9 RepliesI've created a basic function that sets a movieclip to a certain state depending on which mouse cursor is set (determined by a variable called txt_cursor). I can hard code this to work great for the one single movie clip but potentially have to do this for 624 other movie clips so obviously want to create a for loop to reproduce this.

I'm trying to create multiple objects in Papervision using Flash Builder, each one with it's own texture that I'm getting from an imported SWC.My code works perfectly if I apply one texture to all shapes, but when I try to put it into a loop I can't seem to get it to work. I think this is more of a syntax problem, I'm just not sure how to tell Flex what I want.Here's a chunk of the code that works fine, applying an "img1" texture to everything: [code]Does that make sense? I want each iteration of the loop to add a number to the end of "img" and apply that to the shape.

I'm building a web flash 8 app with an animated nurse that talks and help the user in different events. the voices sit in a external folder and i load them using load sound method. It works fine as a desktop app, but when testing the movie on slow download (DSL 32 KB/s) I realized that i must load all the sound before i can play the animation.
problem nr.1: How do i create folowing sound objects (voice_0, voice_1, voice_2..) using a loop?
I've tried this, but it doesn't work
for (i=0;i<numVoices;i++)
{
var this["voice_"+i]:Sound=new Sound;
