I am creating a scrolling portfolio, but am having issues assigning movieclips to an array. I'm loading xml with the image info. That works just fine. I've created an empty movieclip in my library called pane() and set it to export for actionscript with a class name pane.

After a click event I want to dynamically create 2 movieclips with the sequential number in their name, e.g. mc_001 & mv_001 so that I can 'link' them together later on.How can I create a movieclip with a dynamic name?I am trying to use this at the moment:Code:var movieclip["name"+dynamicNumber]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();I can't use an array unless someone can tell me how to access it across multiple classes...

I have a flash file with about 32 empy MovieClips on the stage.Basically what I need to do is take an array of images and load them into these empty MovieClips. Hope this makes sense so far.This array will be dynamic and will come from a PHP file.The problem is I'm not sure how to do this? I don't know to take an array in flash and allocate the images to individual MovieClips.
View 1 Repliesim practicing on how to do websites in flash cs4 using AS3.0, so im doin a basic dynamic test website, all the codes seem to be fine because i dont get any compilers errors. but one Error that is driving me nuts is the Error #1009 which says.

What I'm trying to do is, generating some movieclips in a loop and putting them into an array and then enumerating the array and set an endpoint for each instance of that movieclip:
mc[i].onEnterFrame=function(){
this._y -=8/N;
if((getTimer()-lastT) > myLevel){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){}
}
}
lastT is the time where the scene was run for the first time. So i'm comparing the time for each instance to that "initial time" and check if its larger than myLevel which varies for each of the instances. So this code first runs for all the instances, each having a different "myLevel", then I expect to see they moved differently. But the result I currently get is all of the instances move to the lowest "myLevel" value and then stop.
I'm trying to add an instance of a MovieClip inside an array. Inside the House Class is a property called HouseObjects. Inside that array, I created a Comp and a Light class. MovieClips are dynamically placed on the stage, via linkage. The MovieClips also act as "toggle buttons." If the button state is ON, value is 1. If the button state if OFF, value is 0.
If the value is 1, I am trying to add MovieClip instance inside the onList Array. Inside that array will be all the instances that have a button state ON.
I created a property called objSelect.
var objSelect:Object;
That variable holds the currentTarget selected. I'm trying to pass it to function trackItems to either push/pop it in the onList array, based on the button status.
I receive an error for this line:
onList.pop(objSelect);
Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.

I am trying to create a menu which is 100% on the fly. the menu item names are stored in a multidimensional array with attatched sub menu items/names. I am trying to create a mc and a txt field for each item in the top menu. I am trying to also store the newly created mc's and txt fields in an array or their own so I can manage the menu motions/tweens better. However, I get several errors, why wont this work?

I've got an array (slides) that I parsed from an amfphp return that contains the following data in each array element:
slides = (chapterName, lessonName, slideName, slideText), for every slide in the course
I'm trying to get arrays out this that will look like:
chp1Array = list of Lesson names in that Chapter
chp1Less1Array = list of slide names in that Lesson
chp1Less2Array
chp2Array
chp2Less1Array

This wouldn't be a problem in as2 but I can't get it to work in AS3 because it gives me errors when I try to create the arrays with dynamic names from within the function? How to get the dynamic number into the array name...
I've Googled & Binged to no avail. I'm trying to create a dynamic menu in Flash using PHP & MySQL and bring it into Flash using AS3 DataProvider. My menu works fine with a local Array, but I seem to have an issue with the Type being a String and not an Array, but how do I set it up properly so the types are correct? So I started with a typical, non-dynamic array and it works to create my menu:
[flash=]var items1:Array = [
{myClass:"SCI101", question:"What color is the sky?"},
{myClass:"MATH110", question:"What is the square root of 81?"},
{myClass:"SCI101", question:"How fast is the turtle?"},
{myClass:"SCI101", question:"How far is the Earth from Mars?"},
{myClass:"xXxXxXx", question:"xXxXxXx"},

I have a function that is called from a timer event. Every time the event is called I need to create a new Array with a unique name:
Code:
var dropNumber:int = dropHead.length - 1;
var ["dropTail" + dropNumber???]:Array = new Array();
I am not sure how to dynamically change the name of an array with as3. Also, just a bonus question, is it more efficient to have a single array broken into partitioned indexes or have several arrays of data?
I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:
var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

I'm getting crazy with this error and found no solution until now. Well, the issue consist in create dynamic movieclips and external jpgs into a for loop through xml nodes and add the respective image into that movieclip.
[Code]...
Im using this xml "data.xml":
HTML Code:
<XML>
<salesreps>[code]...
I want to generate a mc for each rep with 6 text fields containg the 6 values for eash rep.So for this xml there would be 3 mc's with 6 text fields in each. This is one of my first times really diving in to xml parsing in Flash.
It's just a pure curiosity of mine . I'm using flash to create movie clip objects and never thought about creating them programatically. But today I came across this articlevertheless, there's no official explanation of the process.What if I have e.g. 5 images, and I wanna turn them into a short piece of animation. How can I do it using pure actionscript 3?

To illustrate what I'm trying to do I think the best point of reference would be something like the original "The Legend of Zelda" game, that is, a top-down adventure type game, with single-screen areas created using a grid of images.I'm trying to create something similar for a local charity's website, something in which the player can navigate a created area and find out about the charity by interacting with NPC staff.The environments in the above game seem to be a grid of images representing various environmental objects. Up until this point in my project I've only had to add single objects. I'd do that like this:
Code:
// add a single placeholder graphic
public var myStage:Loader = new Loader();

Is there any way to create dynamic animations? Say if I'm creating a game and there might be multiple sprite sheets for different NPC's, would I have to manually create the walking/whatever other animations manually?

I'm trying to create a container movie clip, then inside that, create several other movieclips with an image in each and display them with an offset x.It does the offsetting but only displays the last one at the last x.When i dont put the clips in a container it works fine. but i want them in the container so that i can movie the container around on a press.
Heres the code:
var itemsArray = new Array("pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", "pic3.jpg", "pic4.jpg");
var clipArray = new Array();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("carousel", this.getNextHighestDepth());

I have the following code, which should display some square clickable clips over a map. This is done by calling a function (shown below) with arguments. However, when I call this function, only the last box is shown... The clips are drawn on the same level (9000) but that should not be a problem as they wont overlay...functions calls....

Alright, So i have a function which generates alot of the same MovieClip on the stage, however i need to be able to both Hitcheck this MovieClips and Remove them in other functions, so somehow ( what i have attempted here and isn't quite working yet :confused: ) is putting each MovieClip in an array slot, so if you needed to remove them it would be as simple as a For Loop to run through the Array.
Also, when i hittest them, optimally since they are all in an array, i could just reference them via MovieClip.Hittest (movieClipArray[i]) i being the instance to remove.
Background for the project, adding and removing colored MovieClips Which are all systematically distributed on the stage. When the player Pushes the # Keys color it would run the construct function creating the MovieClips on screen. After that if the player hit the same color key again, before generating a new layout it will remove the previous first.
Also a key is to be able to hittest the colors against other MovieClips on stage so it needs to be linkable. Right now im attempting that by containing all my generated colors in
ActionScript Code:
"ColorContainer"
Currently my color Remove Function has Children Being removing which aren't referenced to the Array, i realize this... But want to get the generation of the Array down before i start cutting away at it.
Here is the code i have so far: For some reason i keep getting:
ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.

I have set up a Qwerty keyboard within a swf using duplicateMovieClip() - all works fine. If I have no tabbing whatsoever then I can use the tab key to randomly jump all over the keyboard.
But I would like it to tab in an order. Other buttons at the _root level are tabbing fine but these dynamically created ones are not doing a thing.
The keyboard buttons are created within a movieclip called mcContent which is sat at the _root level, anything within this mc is usually referenced by mcContent. or _level0.mcContent. (if it is being really fussy).
I have an instructions button - if this is NOT included in the tabIndex then the tabbing will work on the keyboard, erratically, but it at least goes there. As soon as I set _root.mcInstructionsBtn.tabIndex = 1; then nothing but the _root level buttons work
I have tried to add the tabIndex when creating the movieclips but this has not worked either. I have tried to set the tabIndex in a copy version where the keyboard buttons are created at the _root level and it functions exactly the same.
create movieclips in a for loop.Basically I am trying to create a series for movieclips and add these to my stage based on an array of values.
for (var i:Number = 0; i < product_total; i++) {
product_mc.name = productid[i]
addChild(product_mc);

This code works fine to add one but I can't add more instances?Appears addChild not render mutiple instances on the stage.
I make classes that extend movie clip, but I want to dynamicaly create instances of this class, so I really create MovieClips, but with the added features of the class. How should I create this instances? I want 'this' to be the root of this new movieclip with added features
