ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Adding Loaded Thumbs?
Dec 9, 2008
I'm trying to create a portfolio with ten images that I needto be loaded and added on the stage.The problem i not to load theese images or adding themdirectlyt on the stage, but I want them to be added inside a thumbthat I've created as a movieclip.I've also created a for...loop so the thumbs dynamically areadded on the stage. To access them I've given them an instance-nameusing [object].name = "[name]" and I've also created an Array tokeep track of the names.

My prototype code doesn't seems to work and I cant seem to centralize this dynamically loaded thumbs via stage listener. No idea why its not centralizing. Is there a way to load the thumbs one by one using the moviecliploader method ?
Code:
#include "lmc_tween.as"
var count:Number = -1;
sl = new Object();
sl.onResize = function() {
scroller.container.tween("_x", Stage.width/2 - scroller.container._width/2, 1, "easeOutSine");

I am loading an external SWF using the Loader class, and adding it to the stage with addChild.When trying to add a mouse click event listener to the MovieClip, using addEventListener, nothing happens, the event never fires.Is there a specific way to add listeners to externally loaded movie clips?My code looks somewhat like this:
var target:MovieClip = assets["screensaver"] as MovieClip;
target.root.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickScreenSaver, true);
addChild(target);
The target shows up on the display, but the CLICK event is completely ignored.

This question has probably been asked a number of times in this forum. I searched and searched, read every reply, but there is nothing satisfactory posted till now. I tried out all solutions posted, but almost every implementation was incomplete. So, here is my question: In the xml photogallery tutorial, if I want to have a border around a thumbnail (which is dynamically loaded), how do I do that?

I've created a drop down list and populated it with dynamic buttons. (I made a DropDown_btn class with a dynamic text field in it and then filled the button text from an xml file). On rollover I tint the button blue and then set the tint back to black on rollout. When you click on the button I'd like it to stay blue until a different button is clicked.
I thought on CLICK I'd run a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
function removeRollover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.transform.colorTransform=c;
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
}
...and then I need to addEventListeners back to any button that doesn't have them and set that button back to black. I could do this by looping through an array of the buttons but I can't figure out how to access them as objects.
I also gave them each a property of "buttonValue" when I loaded them so I can access event.currentTarget.buttonValue (which in this case is a number from 1-5) but once again I can't figure out how I might leverage this information.

dding text to my scrolling thumbs. I've completed the following Kirupa tutorial:As well as the thumbs scrolling, I also want to have text that scrolls with it - that would be wording about each thumb

There is this great tutorial here on kirupa where you add thumbnails to a XMLNow, everything works fine with horizontal pictures, but when i add vertical images the thumbs positions gets messed up. now, what i want to do is when it loads the thumbnails it should get the width of the previous thumbnail and position the next thumbnail right after it plus 5 pixels, then everything should work nicely. (I've already fixed how the big image gets positioned with horizontal/vertical images,If someone can point me in to right direction where the positioning of the thumbs are being made, then maybe i can fix it myself.
// EDIT
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(eval("thumbnail_mc.t"+k)._width+5)*k;

I'm trying to do something a little crazy from what it seems here, I have a carousel that I am modifying to have thumbnail images added to dynamically from an XML file. Now me being the practical persona I am I did NOT want to make little images for each picture in the gallery so I used a neat little class from a blog called soulwire
[URL]
the class lets me use the bitmap properties of flash to fit a copy of my image into the thumbnail are for my carousel Icons, later I will use the same info to click and show the large image for each of these icons.
My problem is that I can get it to work but only the last generated MovieClip gets an image, and it's not even the correct one. it gets image #2 in clip #5.
It seems as though my Event.COMPLETE for my loader is not firing for each image, if it is I'm not sure why I'm just getting the image in 1 icon.
here is my Code:
Code: Select all// Import the required classes
import uk.soulwire.utils.display.Alignment;
import uk.soulwire.utils.display.DisplayUtils;

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.

I have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)
Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var ant_index:Array = new Array(10);//index for ants
var ant_number:int;

I'm creating receives xml from the asp server its on.Because of this, there isn't an xml file that I can open and add to in the places I need carriage returns.To compensate for this, I've been using the split and join method.[code]Essentially I'm looking for certain nodes in the xml and adding a carriage return to the beginning of it.I had to add the extra quotes around the otherwise it doesn't work.The problem with this is, the carriage return works but it leaves the single quotes in the text.I tried adding another split join method that looks for the single quotes left and replaces them with nothing.The problem with this is, it deletes all the single quotes from the contractions.

I'm querying the Rotten Tomatoes API for Upcoming Movies. For each movie returned, I'm creating an instance of MovieIcon (MC). I'm then adding this MC as a child of a Container MovieClip that's already on the scene. Each time, I'm incrementing the xPosition of each MovieIcon MC such that, they're positioned next to each other.My container MC has a mask applied to it, therefore any child objects that are positioned beyond the size of the mask, they're are hidden from view. How can I dynamically add a tween/easing animation between all these MovieIcon MC's so that when I hover over the Container MC, it 'scrolls' left or right, depending on the mouse motion?

Here's what I want to accomplish, I'm doing a listing of all the shows done by my band, I've written all the info into a XML file ( date, location, venue, info and a URL to get to the gig ) and I made a MovieClip with 4 field text to display the information.
So far I can read the XML file, I can addChild my MovieClip they stack neatly in a column to the stage...my problem is, after that, I don't know how to refer to them on the stage to get the url link that I've written in my XML file....here is my AS.

I am dynamically adding columns based on values received from an array. The columns are getting generated properly.But the problem is when I try to insert values for each column, I have to specify each column name in the addItem function.So the addItem function accepts only hardcore values which match my column names --- but it does not accept dynamic column names.Since it does not accept dynamic column names, it can't populate appropriate values related to each column.scoreBoardData is the instance name of my DataGrid component
Here's the code:
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
var obj:Object = {"systime":1323323297534,"id":1,"dest":"123234","source":"1983","ack"

I am reading in collection objects from an XML file. Each collection has an img field that stores a URL to the collection image. So I am trying to load the images of each collection, storing each image in a MovieClip, and add these MovieClips to the stage. However, my problem is that after adding a MovieClip (with the collection image) to the stage, when a new MovieClip is created in my 'for each' loop it overrites the previous MovieClip. So the images I am adding to the stage are being replaced by the following collection's image on each loop iteration. What can I do to avoid this?

I'm trying to make a quiz in flex and am loading data from an xml file. For each question I want to create a radiobuttongroup so I can associate radio buttons to it. How can I accomplish that with actionscript? I can see that addChild method works for DisplayObjects and I presume that radiobuttongroup is not one because I'm receiving errors. How can I dynamically add radiobuttongroup with actionscript in flex application?

generally, how i work involves designing all of my graphics in Flash Authoring, converting them to Sprite symbols by changing the base class to flash.display.Sprite, give my instances names and finally export them to ActionScript.the approach actually permits me to dynamically create properties in code on my Sprite instances that i've exported to ActionScript, just as if they were instances of MovieClips. i'm not entirely sure why i'm able to do this, but i can. in polling the objects to make sure of their superclass, they are indeed Sprites and not MovieClips.however, as expected, if i program a new sprite from scratch in code and try to dynamically add a property to the new programmed sprite a compile time error will result.

{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have an image (.jpg file) in the library and I want to instantiate it dynamically through timeline code and then add it to stage. But I do not want to drag it and drop it from the library to stage, I want to keep it in the library and add it to stage through code only... how can I do that?

I am trying to write some code for someone show wants to be able to control their timeline animation by using the slider component. Everything was going fine until I tried to add the Play and Pause buttons to the stage. I instantiated both movieclips and added "stage.addChild(<mcName>);" but neither clip showsup when I test the movie. I tried removing "stage." but that didn't help either.
I tried to find a solution to my problem online, and while I haven't figured it out yet, it seems that these movieclips might need to be part of a function. This could be totally incorrect, but it's the best guess I have right now.
My AS code is below. (I couldn't get the .FLA file to zip small enough, but if anyone wants it, I'll find a way.) See comment "// PLAY/PAUSE CODE" for Play/Pause buttons.
Code:
//SLIDER CODE
// Import slider and movieclip classes

Yes, another one of those pour souls attempting to escape the confines of AS2 and venturing into the AS3 world! I'm simply trying to dynamically add an image frame (imgframe) to the stage, sticking an image holder (imgholder) into the image frame mc and then loading an image into the image holder mc. Here's the code I've been using as a test, but it spits out errors saying that a term is undefined on "mainmask_mc.imgframe.addChild(imgholder);" code. I've tried changing it to various things, but nothing works.
