I've dynamically created a grid of buttons which are going to modify a 2D array, but I can't work out how to create a unique function for each iteration of the loop with a dynamic function name. Probably just a stupid syntax error by me...
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 8; i++){
for(var j:int = 0; j <

I'm building a variable matching game. The player clicks one of four choices and then clicks the answer area. Their choice appears in the area, and if the answer is correct the answer container shifts down, highlighting the next answer area to be filled. Inside the container are a large number of these answer areas (60).
What I am trying to do is have only one be answerable at a time, the highlighted one, so that players can't skip ahead despite seeing the empty spaces left to answer in. What I have right now isn't working, and I could use some outside insight.
Code:
var i:int =1;
function sampleFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(selection == e.currentTarget.targetCorrect){//targetCorrect is a string set statically
[Code].....
I realize I could use a for loop to add the event listener, but the project really calls for only one answerable area at a time.
My problem is that I cant figure out how to draw my movieclip if I dynamicly name it.
However If I address it by using its actual name it works fine.
I have included both working and non-working code.[code]....

I have an array of external images that I am loading and the number of external images is variable, so I want to be able to create loaders to load them as needed. Is there a way to dynamically create and uniquely name a loader at run time?
Otherwise is there a way to pass the image content off in such a way that it will remain loaded if the loader is used to load other images?
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.
So I've been trying to make dynamically named functions, and while it works, I've run into a couple of problems.
ActionScript Code:
var uServer:String = "irc.epic-chat.net"
var lol:String = "lolz"
var num:Number = 3
[Code].....
If I had something like that ^ what could I add to func to distinguish between whether it is being called by lolz0, lolz1, or lolz2? I was thinking whether there was something like .name I could use, but I couldn't come up with anything.
I'm trying to get data out of an array. Problem is the array I'm trying to access is different depending on where I'm currently at.
I can get data from a dynamically named variable, like so:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link"]
but now that I want to access one field in an array, instead of a single variable, I don't know the syntax to get at it? Waa. I tried:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link[" + Linki + "]"]
but it didn't like me.
i am loading several images from an XML path into a flash movie and i want to dynamically create image loader variables for them. Here is my code so far:

I have a movieclip (myMC) that I create several instances of.I dont duplicate the movieclips, but just copy and rename them like "myMC_i", where "i" is a unique number.Can I somehow check if one copy of myMC (for instance "myMC_2") collides with another copy (for instance "myMC_5"), always ignoring collisions with other types of movieclips on the stage?Thats the problem I cant solve. I can either check for a collision with ANY other movieclip, or check for a collision with a single SPECIFIED movieclip (by checking for its name). But I dont know how to check for a collision with a group of movieclips that has the first part of their names in common. If it had been like in a search-engine, you would have been able to search for:[code]

I am working with AS3 to build a very simple mp3 player on my site. So far the play and pause button work fine, but when I try to move the slider then click the pause button, it doesn't pause, and then clicking the play button again causes it to play a new file.I'm assuming that for some reason when I call the playMp3 function from my MouseEvent, it's within an object or something and not at the root, so it's like loading a new sound file, but I don't know how to fix that.URL...
View 2 RepliesI've got an issue with resizing multiple similarly named objects.I've got the following code that works: mc0.nb0.autoSize = "left"
nb0 is a text box placed inside mc0, which is a movie clip. My script simply resizes the box, according to the ammount of text inside it. what I'm trying to achieve is a more dynamic code that would work for no matter how many boxes...I tried something like "mc"+i."nb"+i. autoSize = "left", but I get a syntax error. So, how do I call the MC inside the function?
I have been working with this script for a few days now and have gotten to a near completed point, but I can't seem to script the final step. I have an xml file that is being parsed into my .fla file. There are 3 buttons which are dynamically created based on a tag called <navItem>. The function 'displayContent' should be displaying the appropriate chunk of xml in various text boxes, but instead, it only displays the last chunk (the 3rd chunk) no matter which button I click on. I have pasted my code on pastebin here:[URL]
View 13 RepliesI currently have an AS3 fla with a couple of mouseEvent functions but now the client wants to add a KeyboardEvent as well to the same exact functions. Can I add another eventListener to that without having to create a second function? It would be a huge waste of code if I did. Here's what I currently have in truncated form:
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_right);
leftArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_left);
function slide_right(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have some functions that have mouseEvents for their param and I am wondering how those can be use without the param. Meaning those functions where set up to work with buttons, but how can call those when I don't have a button to call them? Here is an example of one of the functions:
function forward(e:MouseEvent):void
{
ns.togglePause();

I would like to retrieve a value from a function(e.MouseEvent)?

When not, which solutions does replace this attempt?
I made a login (textfield and a button).
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loginCheck); // This is my button
function loginCheck(event:MouseEvent):void { // My function code here

In order to make login using Enter button, I tried adding:

But of course it won't works because loginCheck is a MouseEvent function.

I am trying to make a simple mp3 player using flash. The songs are loaded using an XML file which contains the song list. I have "play" button with the instance name "PlayBtn". I have an actionscript file named "playctrl", the content of which are listed below:
package classes
{
import flash.media.Sound;
[Code].....
However on clicking the play button, I notice that the function playSong() is called 7-8 times(check by printing an error msg. inside the function) resulting in overlapped audio output and the player crashing as a result. The function should be called only once when the MouseEvent.CLICK is triggered.
After parsing some XML to create a vertical project list I'd like to be able to click on the image/icon representing each project and be taken to the URL that's been parsed in as well. Here's the error I get when clicking the dynamically generated Movieclips:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at NMD_work_fla::MainTimeline/itemClick()Below is the extracted code pieces related to the onClick function:

in actionscript 2.0, one could call a mouseEvent function without actually having that event. For instance:
btn1.onRollOut = function(){
this. gotoAndPlay("out");
}
