ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Click Handelers For Lots Of Objects Dynamically?
Mar 5, 2011
I need to add things to the stage and later they get removed, my first flash had a problem because when I removed things from the screen their click handeler didn't get removed, and was slowing the program down.So I've been trying to figure out the best way of making a thing and assigning a click handeler to it that I can remove later.
I've written this as a test piece of code .This basicaly makes 20 circles and adds a click handeler to each that knows which circles been clicked but it dosn't work.The error I get is
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

I want to create object instances based on user input but I can't figure out how to get a unique variable name for each instance (I want to be able to get at and manipulate them later). In other languages I would usually just use an eval() function to pull this off.

I'm trying to get the program to generate a library object called "Enemy" on the screen when the conditions are met.
Here's the bit of the code which is causing me problems:
Code:
var army:Array;
var enemy:Enemy;
function AvoiderGame()
{

I'm sure it must be a simple error, I can get the logic working when it just traces something on the screen but i can't get it to generate an "enemy"

Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com {
public class CreateList extends MovieClip {
//this is the object I will be recycling
private var newProperty:PropertyRow;
//this is the array I will use to reference the objects

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);
}

I am trying to create a library of transition effects. Each transition type or preset is its own class. In the Client/Main class I would like to create the transition type I need based off a static constant, hoping to save myself from having to write a long switch statement to select which type of transition class to instantiate.[code]I am not using the getDefinitionByName utility correctly, what am I missing here? Is there a different way to achieve class instantiation by passing in the name of the class as a string.

this is a wierd problem I am facing in flash I need to create a dynamic global variable where the variable's name is stored in another variable. say I need to create a global variable , _global.fam , but "fam" is stored in a variable temp="fam";

But the loophole here is that after creating the global variable I should be able to access the variable as

My goal is to create multiple objects that fall downwards. The problem now is that the object stays in the left upper corner. I've linked the object to actionscript with the name "object". Can someone help me?
This is my code:
Code:
var namer:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("objectHolder", 1);
for (i=0; i<=count; i++) {
var newName:String = "object"+(count);

Now, I have a file, prefs.elf, that contains my preferences in the following formatlocation:USAaccountID:48996151894Now, what I'm hoping to be able to do is create an object with the labels as the object.So, I have an object, preferences, which I'd like to be able to get at these values through - like this: preferences.email or preferences.location. can read the file and toss these in an array really easily, but I'd like to do it a little more eleganty with objects.My main question is, how do I create the sub-objects to hold the value? In other words, how would I create preferences.location, or preferences.accountID without explicity specifying them in my code

i've had good feedback and help from these forums before so thought i'd pick your brains again...
I'm looking at making a sim/game based around random results. The experiment im supporting has (for example) 100 rubber ducks in a bag, you pick out 30 and mark them with a cross and place them back in the bag. Then you pick another 30 and note how many of the marked ducks you have found again.
I have some knowledge of Flash and have managed to make a random dice simulator and a few others. I figure the best way is to forget about manually marking the ducks but instead have a drop down box where you can sellect how many of the 100 will be marked.Then have an action button which produces the results (in numbers?) underneath each corresponding duck (1 normal yellow, one marked).

I would like to add a bunch of cars to the stage, and store them in an array as objects. The problem is I hate using external AS files and would like to keep it as simple as possible.I tried doing :
var car:Object = {carcolor:String,carscale:Number,carpower:Number};
var test:Array = new Array()
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++) {
test.push(car)
}
The problem is if I try to set a value of one object in the like test[1].carscale = 5
Every object in the array gets their attribute carscale set to 5.Is there any way I can do this without using external class files?

I've got four arrays which I want to use to create objects on the stage.
The first one is what the Object Class is called.
The second one is what I want the instance name to be.
The third and fourth relate to the x and y co-ordinates respectively.
ActionScript Code:
var objectName:Array = [Background, Frame, Up, Down, SideBar, Yellow, Green, Pink, Blue, Titles,
TimeBar, TimeBarSlider, Stop, Play, Pause, ThumbnailOutline, Thumbnail];
var instanceName:Array = [bg, frame, up, down, sideBar, yellow, green, pink, blue, titles,
TimeBar, timeBarSlider, stopBtn, playBtn, PauseBtn, thumbnailOutline, thumbnail];
[Code] .....
The "i" would relate to the parameters for the same object. So, if i = 0, then the Object Class Name would be: 'Background', the instance name would be 'bg', the x position would be '0', and the y position would '0'. What code would I need in the for loop to create this?

I have a XML document that has 8 main sections, and under each section there is a number of sub sections and under each of those sections their is a number of sub sections and then one more level. I am trying to create one main multi-dimensional array that can reference the particular sub section. For example by using this notation:
"_global.Link_arr[main section id][sub section level 1][subsection level2][sub section level 3].link " (or _global.Link_arr[0][0][0][1].link)"
Is this possible to do with the following script.
_global.Link_arr = [];
navBtn.subfolder = category[i].childNodes;
var l:Number;
var subArrNum:Number = 0;
[code]....
I do not know how to create an array within a multidimensional array like I am doing?

I've started using the 3D capabilities of Flash CS4 recently, particularly with respect to transforming the rotation and translation properties of movie clips with AS3. Which is fine for planar shapes, but I want to know how to create true 3D objects that I can similarly manipulate. The problem is, that although there are plenty of excellent tutorials covering simple changes in X, Y and Z properties, there seems to be a distinct lack of tutorials explaining in simple terms how to go about creating, say, a basic cube that can be displayed and transformed dynamically. Adobe's Flash CS4 files mention perspective projection and the Matrix3D object, but I don't find these section particularly clear. What I would like to do, for starters, is create a simple cube to which I can apply x, y and z axis transformations in the same way I can to movie clips.

i'm making a game with tanks at the moment, and there will be explosions happening from side to side on the screen. i was thinking that it would be good to pan the sounds, so explosions on the right of the stage would play on the right speaker etc.
i tried to do this by creating new sound objects for each explosion and then setting the pan for each, individually, but it seems that when i set the pan for one sound object, it sets that for all of them. is there a way around is?

I need to be able to know when a container is clicked and when a button on the container is clicked. I am loading a swf with buttons into a container sprite. If I add a click event to the container it does not get triggered when a button in the loaded swf is clicked. if I add mouseChildren false to the container the it gets triggered. What I need is both the button in the loaded swf to work as well as the click event on the container.

Say that i have a variable called explosion when this variable is set to yes i'd like it so that whenever you press the screen with the left mouseclick it "creates" a movieclip where you clicked that in the library is named bomb (or duplicate the movieclip from off screen if that is easier)

I have a flash ad on my site that cycles through about about 8-10 products each with their own buy button that adds the item to the shopping cart and takes them to the shopping cart page. What I want to do is create some kind of counter or tracker that keeps track of how many times each product was clicked on. I would prefer an external file to be generated and updated per new click. Is this possible?

I'm creating a simulation in which a large number of objects are added to vectors and then taken away in random order (as more are being added). To remove the objects, I splice the object from the vector it's in, and notify all the other objects that an object ahead of them was removed so they can change their indices accordingly. As far as I know, the objects have no other references (I think), and within the object, I set everything to null. I read somewhere that you can't put "delete this" in the class, so I didn't bother with that. Will this be sufficient to get the object garbage collected, or should I do something else? What are the best ways to get something like this garbage collected?

want to simplify coding and wondered if there was a way to write a script that could be used on multiple objects without having to write it to address each object individually. I am building a simple menu where I want the menu link to rise and scale up when the button for it is rolled over and then return to its original position when the mouse rolls off. I know I can write this per button and per item, but wanted to see if there was a way to write it once and then apply the action to everything. EX. My menu consists of 5 items (and respective buttons) home_mc (home_btn), menu_mc, dining_mc, contact_mc, specials_mc.If I write the code
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, homeOver);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, homeOff);
function homeOver(MouseEvent) {

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 web service and am using it in (among other things) an Adobe Flex application. I have a strange issue where if I send an object to the web service using soap with some fields that are null the webservice is actually creating new objects on the other end (and not putting any data in them).[code]In this example SomeFieldThatShouldBeNull and SomeFieldThatShouldBeNull2 are being created as new objects by the webservice. It is vital for the application that does not happen.
