ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Labeling A Button?
Apr 22, 2009
In AS 2.0, I used to be able to make a single movie clip that I could re-use over and over again as a button. Each instance of this button would then be dynamically labeled at runtime based on some code using onClipEvent(load) and textFormat. I tried to so something similar using actionscript 3.0 and came up against some problems.
The button is instance named "lgndOneBedroom_mc" and this is the code on the root timeline:

I have this code
Code:
_root.bottombar1.attachMovie("home_btn", "home1",1000);
_root.bottombar1.home1.dtxt.text = "Home";
_root.bottombar1.home1._x = -300;
_root.bottombar1.home1._y = 0;
What I have is a button "template" called home_btn.I attach an instance of this button template called Home1 to a movie on the main timeline called "Bottombar1". This works.Now the home_btn template contains a field, dtxt. I try to name this "Home" but it does not work. The last two lines do work fine. Can anyone tell me why I may place the button, move it, but not change that field?

But I keep getting the error message: Target not found: Target="undefined" Base="_level0" I'm not sure what this means.

I'm trying to print different frames of my movie, which are located in different scenes. I've put a frame label named #p on every frame that I want to get printed when the user presses a button. Code for this button is:
[Code]....
This actually works fine, the specific frame gets printed OK but all of my other frames labeled #p are printed too! And part of my dynamic loaded data (information of tables, texts, etc.) cannot be seen anymore after printing! It seems as if all dynamic information gets lost. Is there any way of printing just the frame I'm asking for and not all of them? What about the "duplicate label" warning? Is it OK to ignore it?

I've made a graph application in AS3. You can plot points and then lines draw between the points to form a polyline/polygon. At each point a label (textfield) is dynamically placed to label that point, i.e. A for the first point B for the second etc. What I'm struggling to understand and properly implement is how to make sure the label is not being overlapped by a line using simple trigonometry. I'm calculating the acute angle for the intersection between the two lines at each point and then substracting 360 degrees from that to get the angle of reflex. At this point I get lost. How can I place a textfield at the middle of that angle of reflex (basically the opposite side of where the lines are drawing to). Or, is there a better strategy for placing the textfields and insuring they are not overlapped by the lines?

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

My question today is dealing with a dynamically generated button with a textField.I have the button copy in XML and I need to add a buffer of 10 pixels to either side of the textField. I tried to CENTER my textFormat, but then I could not see my text because the button is for some strange reason 545.45 instead of 88 like it should be. When I change the alignment to LEFT then I can see my text, but still the larger issue is my button size is horribly off.[code]

I have a swf file that displays data from an external text file, alongside a bunch of buttons that link to html pages. What i would like to achieve is to somehow use the external text file to alter the URLs of the buttons.
The swf i am building is getting used as a 'what's new' section, so it will be updated almost weekly, hence it reading the external text file (so i can update it without using the fla). And because the whats new section changes alot, so too does the button links. Hence, the buttons need to be updated aswell, and ideally, that can be done from the external text file.
Why don't i just use the dynamic text to <a href> to the new page you ask? because that would be sucky.Besides, i think that something like this could open more opportunities to the way we (well at least I) construct our fla's.

I have a button on stage in a movie, the button ("clicker") is empty apart from the "hit" frame. The stage and button are 300x300 and i'm using swfobject to display the flash movie at 400x600 pixels. I have the following actionscript.[code]I want teh button to expand to fill the available stage space (which is 400x600 in this example) so i use the following...
-clicker._width = Stage.width;
-clicker._height = Stage.height;
however this causes the button to disapear from the stage, possibly down to 0x0 in size, as opposed to filling the available stage space. It's been a while since i worked with actionscript so it's probably something obvious, however i can't seem to spot what the problem is.

I've got my flash application loading all the images found in an XML file (under <file>image</file> and i want to use the url found in the same node of each image <eventurl>url</eventurl> but I can't seem to target only the image I'm clicking.
If I click an image (and say there's 20 on stage all loaded dynamically) the button will try and take you to ALL the <eventurl>(s) found in the XML document.
Code:
<pictures>
<picture>
<title>Flyer 1</title>
[Code]....
When you rollover the images they scale perfectly and it correctly only scales the SPECIFIC image you are rolling over. However when I try and do this for the click and try and make it target the corresponding images URL it tries to take you to ALL the urls.

I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it. I need a way to either assign button labels like the 4 text boxes below or make it so the textboxes do not interfere with clicking the button?
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "http://localhost/connect.php";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
[Code]....
Update: I found the following to change the label, however I am confused as how I do this to buttons I have already created, perhaps using the instance name?
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Click me";

In the project I am working on I am trying to get a button 'menu button' from the library to appear on rollover within a dynamically created thumbnail mc. So basically when you roll over any one of the thumbs a button appears that can be clicked. I have tried to directly attach the button and also tried to create an empty clip in side the thumb and then attach the button to this empty clip. With this second method I can trace the empty clip though still can't get the button to attach.
Code:
currentThumbs.onRollOver = function() {
v = this.createEmptyMovieClip("ButtonContainer", 0); /// ButtonContainer can be traced
v.attachMovie("menu button", "downloadBut"+this.numb, this.getNextHighestDepth());
v["downloadBut"+this.numb].label_txt.text = "Download";
v["downloadBut"+this.numb]._x = 5;
v["downloadBut"+this.numb]._y = 5;
};
I know the 'menu button' works as it is used in other menus within the file though I can't get it to attach to the thumbs. So you know this.numb is working as well. It is created in another part of the code. I can upload the files if needed though it is a rather complex project including several xmls and loads of jpgs.
