ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Buttons, Different Widths, Applying Same Spacing?
Aug 19, 2009
I have done some research and am unable to find anyone who has any sample code on how to apply consistent spacing between movie clips that are different widths. Below is the code I have so far. I have set the inital x position to be the same as another object on the stage. What am I missing? I need another pair of eyes. I am disappointed that we can't access clips the same way as we did in ActionScript 2.0 where we could refer to the previous clip's x position or y position and adjust them accordingly. Bad Adobe for not documenting or giving examples on more complicated scenarios for real life work. example has to be in a for loop from AS 2:
ActionScript Code:
this["whichClip"+i+"_mc"].x = this["whichClip"+(i-1)+"_mc"].x+this["whichClip"+(i-1)+"_mc"].width;
[code]....

Has anyone coded a datagrid component so that the column widths adjust to match the length of the longest element in each one? I know how to set the width of a column to a specific pixel value, but how to go about calculating the width required for each cell? Obviously this depends on font choice and the number of characters I'm trying to display.

i have a dilemma. i want to create dynamic buttons that arrange itself spaced horizontally and im having a hard time getting it to read the width of the text inside the button.For example, each of those buttons are being referenced in the library and its text placed dynamically. How do I get it to read the length of "Home" so I can dynamically create the Menu button and so forth on the _x axis?Home / Menu / About Us / Contact I'm currently trying maxhscroll to read its width, but its not accurate at all once I embed a font to the dynamic text field.

function clicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(a == 0){
Tweener.addTween(circle, {scaleX:5, scaleY:5, time:0.5, transition:"easeOutElastic"});
Tweener.addTween(circle, {x:middleX, y:middleY, time:0.5, transition:"easeInOutBounce"});
a = 1;
}else if(a == 1){
[Code] .....
The addEventListener will be in a forloop and applied to all the circles that are created. But how do I have the function apply itself to all the circle(s). How do I send an "circle" array as an argument or whatever it's called to that clicked function.

I'm trying to figure out a way to center dynamic text fields vertically after the text has been input. For instance, in some instances I would have a dynamic field with two lines, and I would want to center it between two other dynamic fields- but only after the text has been populated. Maybe a better way of explaining it would be changing the spacing of elements on a page so they're always equidistant from one another.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to vertically center dynamic text fields once they're loaded. For instance, some of my text fields are one line while others are 3 lines, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to space them between other text fields equally.

Letter spacing doesn't seen to work for dynamic text fields in Flash. I use CS4 on Mac, player version 10.0.2. Does it also depend on the font that's used?

I have a dynamic text box, displaying the text from XML file, which is created dynamically.My issue is that the text is shown in double spacing, instead of single spacing.I've been researching this for hours, and one website discussing this issue as "when a user insert value from windows platform, flash translates line brake as double space." So, when I look at the XML file, there is only one

So I have a project where there are 5 dynamic text fields, and I thought it would be quite simple. Create a dynamic text field, and then load in the .xml content, and I had it complete. However, it turns out that spacing is quite important, so my method will not work, and I'm kind of stumped how to proceed.So the things highlighted in red represent the .xml nodes, and as the width (character count) of TEAM1 and TEAM2 change, the spacing needs to remain consistant, and the static elements (the "vs." and "|" need to move accordingly, and the TEAMLOCATIONS need to stay lined up as well..Does anyone have a good idea how to handle this, or a good tutorial they could point out? I'm trying to build my own array structure, and calculate the width of "TEAM1", but it's slow going..

I have the following AS2 code which creates dynamic buttons based on an array:
Code:
var labels_array:Array = new Array({label_txt:">> arquitectura industrial", gotoX:"partners"}, {label_txt:">> edificaci�n", gotoX:"team"});
var initX:Number = 0;
[Code]....
the variable nextX places a new button every given number of pixels, in this case 140px. What I'll like to do is to make this value dynamic so that a new button is placed taking into account the width of the preceding button, plus a certain number of pixels.

I'm building a dynamic menu and am struggling to give the same distance to the text fields with different widths. When I turn on the "autoSize TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT" some text fields are overlapped, and, aligned when I turn off, but, they all get the same size (100px by default - dont know why), which makes the distance between them unequal.
Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
// main timeline objectvar index:Object=this;// New Xml Objectvar fileXml:XML;// check how many menu items we have.var totalMenuItems:Number;// Main Menu Propertiesvar spacing:int=5;var menuItem_txt:TextField;// New URL Requestvar xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader(new

I can't seem to control my letter spacing (kerning) in my dynamic text field. I gave the field an instance name of about_txt and I loaded the text from a text document. The text shows up fine but it is all bunched together. Here is my code:
Code:
var about_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about_txt.txt");
var about_1dr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(about_req);
about_1dr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function
onComplete(event:Event):void{
about_txt.text = event.target.data;
}var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.letterSpacing = 10
about_txt.setTextFormat(fmt);
No matter what value I put in for letterSpacing nothing seems to happen.
