I have put all button inside movieClip called "container" and I have added "container." inside for loop and now I am getting errors.
for (i=8; i<15; i++){
container.this["button" + btns[i].name.replace("btn","")].mouseEnabled = false;
}
I've got a for loop and some fuctions working, but can't get one line of code to work. The red line below is what I'm having a hard time with. I'm calling a function called "moveit". If I insert moveit(x1, y1); then it works, and my movieclip is moved to the x and y positions that I specified for item #1. Though I want it to work for 10 items (I only have coordinates for two here, and will add the rest later).
I've searched my ActionScript book and just can't figure out what the syntax should be for calling that function.

I have an array like this:
Code:
var myData = new Array();
myData["name"] = "John";
myData["Age"] = 35;
What is the syntax to loop through and get the key and value? I have tried for each and for in but they just give me the value of "John" or "35", how can I get the key e.g. "Name" and "Age"?
I've got this loop and can't get it to work. It won't read the trace so I know the array call in my function statement is wrong but I can't see it at the moment. What am I doing wrong here? The rollover works when I write it out repetitively for the four buttons.
var btnAction:Array = new Array (oneBut, twoBut, threeBut, fourBut);
for (var i=0; i<btnAction.length; i++) {
this.menuMC.btnAction[i].onRollOver = this.menuMC.btnAction[i].onDragOver = function() {
[code].....
what I'm trying to do is access the data of several movies clips, that are inside of several other movie clips: MC1.insideMC._visible=false (which works, but isn't dynamic) but dynamically with a FOR loop. I've tried: For(bullet=1; bullet<5; bullet++){ "MC"+bullet.insideMC1._visible=false (this does not work) } Does anyone know the dot notation or another way to do this?

Whats the correct syntax for declaring a variable within a loop? Something like this:[code]

I have a series of images loaded in via XML and assigned to "loady" movieclips. This code works fine:
Code:
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[0].attributes.url,_root.loady0);
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[1].attributes.url,_root.loady1);
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[2].attributes.url,_root.loady2);
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[3].attributes.url,_root.loady3);
[code]...
I want to replace this with a loop since I know the total amount of items (myImagesNo), but this isn't working:
Code:
for (i=0; i<_root.myImagesNo; i++) {
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[i].attributes.url,this["_root.loady" + i]);
}

Can anyone tell me why the following is taking 4 seconds for Flash to execute:
_moleHoles = new Array();
var countingMoleHoles:Boolean = true;
var holeCount:int = 0;
[Code].....
There are 9 object on the stage (but this number could go up or down, that is why I'm dynamically grabbing these this way). So in my test case, this loop runs 10 times.
I have narrowed it down to something to do with the following line:
if (this['moleHole' + holeCount])
Is using dynamic (array syntax) object lookup that much of a performance hit?
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.

Here is my problem:Instead of placing my photo holders randomly on stage,I would like to have them in a grid form.
Code so far:
Code:
totalPhotos = total;
[code]....
I am quite new to AS3 and I am having trouble adapting my knowledge of Java to this new language i am trying to make a simple grid in which i could work on each individual square seperately(changing their colour for example). To do so, I created a 2D array,hoping it would allow me to work with some kind of coordinates system. I initialised the array using while loops and for some reason, this does not let me access the array outside the loops.[code]The two last lines are causing the problem, instead of turning the last square red, they return the following error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.However, when placed inside the loop, there is no problem and the whole grid turns red.

View 3 RepliesI am having a hard time trying to use an onRelease event handler inside a for loop. Basically, I am developping a custom player for articulate presenter using flash and AS2.This code is generating a movie clip in a for loop for each line in the sidebar, with slide title and slide number parsed from a XML.Until here, all works fine.But when I try to generate the onRelease event handler to play the wanted slide when I click on the line, the value inside the onRelease is always the highest value of i.Looks like the onRelease evaluates i only when I click on the line, after all the clips have been generated.[code]I have to find a way to capture the value of i for each clip.
View 2 Replieshow to call a function via setInterval a limited number of times (e.g. 20 times).
Code:
function CallMe(Me){
trace(Me);
}
for(var i:Number = 0; i<=20;i++){
setInterval(CallMe(i),3000);

My intention for the above simple code would be to have 'i' get traced every 3 seconds. But it doesn't. 'i' just gets dopped out into the output pane all in one go. Do steady release!

View 5 Repliespossible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through. I have a for loop with i++ so that I can put objects on the page with a small pause between them. The i++ loop puts all the movieclips on the page simultaneously. I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.
