On library i have mc. In property i made Export for ActionScript. And on timeline add code:
var my_pic_mc:Pic=new Pic();
addChild.(my_pic_mc);
but dont see my movie clip on the stage after compile.
I'm trying to create a dynamicly named object.
something like
private var myVar:String = "dynamicName";
private var [myVar+"staticName"]:Object = new Object;
but what i wrote above dosn't work for some reason.
I have a MovieClip that I made with a simple text box inside to hold some text..
I am basically using it to generate a "member list".
Each name would have its own TxtSlot_mc... so it can be manipulated later.
I have so far been able to dynamically load a concatenated string of member names from php into flash and then split the string into an array.
I have also been able to create each movie clip and assign the member name to the text in the text box and add/position it to the screen.
The problem I am having is that after exiting the function that handles the creation I can't figure out how to get access to them.[code]...
How would I write a procedure that would build this array such that I could choose as many parameter names such as KBP? I wanted?
public var expenses:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{Impact:"A", KBP1:1, KBP2:0, KBP3:0, KBP4:0 },
{Impact:"B", KBP1:0, KBP2:0, KBP3:0, KBP4:0 },
{Impact:"C", KBP1:0, KBP2:2, KBP3:3, KBP4:0 },

I have one MXML File as

is it possible to create instance inside method of another instance? But I want new instance to be sibling of instance where it was created.something like this:
ActionScript Code:
parent = new Parent();
childA = new Child();
parent.addChild(childA);
Child class would have this onclick event function:
ActionScript Code:
public function child_click(e:MouseEvent):void {
childB = new Child();
}
I want "childB" to be child of "parent", no property of childA. so I could do:
ActionScript Code:
parent.addChild(childB);
how is this possible without passing "parent" instance as parameter?
I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?

My game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?
Code:
function newBall() {
var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

I would like to be able to create and call an Array dynamically. So to pass a name through a function and create an array based on that name.Then to store values into sections in the array. I got the creating the array dynamically working, but I can't seem to store into it.
Code:
Sort = function (numOfVars,Name,toSort){
This works
_global[Name] = New Array(New Array (),New Array());
This does not work
_global[Name][i][c]= 3
This does not work
_global[Name + "[i][c]"]= 3
This does not work
_global[[Name][i][c]]= 3
}
I have two MCs classesThe first one is put on the stage. Then, from the first MC class (inside the class), i put another MC. So i created a MC inside the first MC.I can see both MC when i test my movie.I put the second MC when the mouse cursor is over the first MC, and i remove it when the mouse cursor is out the first MC.My problem is that when the mouse cursor is over the second MC, the movie behaves like the mouse cursor goes out of the first MC, so the second MC is removed, so i can't click on it.

View 6 RepliesI've been trying to create a scrollpane dynamically but I keep getting a bunch of errors when I publish the swf. At first I thought maybe there was a problem with my code so then I looked in the file and copied and pasted one of there examples into a blank fla and I still get the same errors when I publish. If I look at what is the source of the errors it looks like the error originates at this section of the ScrollPane.as file:
Code:
override protected function drawBackground():void {
var bg:DisplayObject = background;

how would i go about dynamically making a function... im making a Tile Based World level editor and when the user is done editing a level, then they hit a button and a couple of for loops runs through all the tiles checking the x,y and tile type. then i want thisinformation to be parameters within sub functions within the main function. so the as would look something like this
[AS]subFunction = function () {
//do this
}

View 5 RepliesI'm currently working on a project where I need to create a grid of dynamic text boxes each displaying my specified number. I won't go into big specifics, since I can assign the values to each text box, but for some reason I'm having problems creating the grid dynamically. I've used the same method for attaching Movie Clips in a grid, and it works fine, so I can't figure out for the life of me what the problem is.
