I have 25 textboxes on stage named sw1 through to sw25. I want to evaluate the contents of each box using a for loop. How can I do this. Note the following code does not work for me.
for(var i = 1; i<26;i++)
{
var t = "sw"+i
trace (t.text)
}
I get this error message when I run my program:
Property text not found on Number and there is no default value. at Mastercalendar_fla::MainTimeline/frame1(E)
I have 25 textboxes on stage. I am using a for loop to point to each textbox and evaluate the contents. When I come across a textbox that has the letter "Y" in it I want to place an object called colorbox at a certain location. To do this I have assign the value in each textbox to a variable called tf and then evaluate the variable tf to see if it contains the letter "Y". When I trace this variable outside of my if statement it correctly shows the contents of the current box, however within my if statement it doesn't. Also the colorbox doesn't get placed at the designated coordinates and I get the following error message:[code]

I'm very new to Flash, and I'm not a programmer, I have an Input text box named txtNe2 where a user will type an answer to a question. I want to evaluate the answer when the user pushes the Enter key and respond by sending the movie to either the "Ne2C" frame or the "Ne2I" frame (for the response to the correct or incorrect answer).

I have 31 squares on stage named square1-31. Each square is defined as a movieclip. . Each square has a textbox within it named txtbox1-31. I also have an object in my library called marker.I am using a for loop to cycle through the squares. I need to evaluate the contents of each textbox in each movieclip and if it is not empty, addChild an object to the current square location. So far my cod is not working as AS3 doesn't recognize the name of my textboxes or their locations.

I have a php script that calls a result from the DB and gives it a variable. I then have a dynamic text box in flash that I want to say "goto read.php, find the variable and display the variable's contents in this text box"...
View 1 RepliesI want to check the contents of 25 textboxes on stage. Each textbox is embedded inside of a movie clip. Using the counter on a for loop I want to cycle through all 25 textboxes and if they have text in them, i want to place an object overtop of that movie clip . For this example I will only use 3 movieclips, each containing a textbox. The movieclips are named mov1, mov2 and mov3 and the textboxes within them are named text1,text2 and text3

{
var xloc="mov"+i.x

I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing.
2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does.
3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.
I'm just trying to have a textbox on my main stage display certain values depending on what frames are being played. So having not done actionscript in a LONG time, I would assume is it something like this:

I want to use flash's gui to do some tweens, creating line black and white drawings (which I know how to do).
NOW THE CHALLENGE:
I now want to be able to extract/infer from the stage which pixels are black and which are white (and fill up a array).
I have two lines of inquiry;
1. Convert the vectors created by the tweens into a "bitmapdata" and then use the getPixel() method to reference the pixels. - This would be great for me (if I could do this on a frame by frame basis), but I do not know how to convert the tween created vector into a bitmapdata object
2. Do some magic and be able to know what vector lines are on the stage, including their position, length etc.
why I can have multiple css styles when I use an external css file but when I try and create styles in AS I cant seem to get two different stlyes in the same box?

In my main .fla file I have a movie clip onstage called "square". The movieclip is empty. Below that are five buttons (black, red, blue, green, remove) which, depending on the color button clicked, would load into the empty "square" clip either a movie called "black_square.swf", "red_square.swf", "blue_square.swf" or "green_square.swf". Only one such movie at a time is loaded into the clip. Clicking the "remove" button empties the clip. I've also got a "submit" button, which, when I click it, I'd want to submit the name of whatever .swf file happens to be loaded to a database. If nothing is loaded I want the record created to show the "square" movieclip was empty.
I've been able to make an application that has a central movie clip containing 20-something other clips. The application lets people create their own design of a particular item, choosing the colors of every component to this item (each of which is loaded into its own component-specific movie clip). One of the movie clips can be populated by a .jpg or .png file a user himself uploads. Once finished, people can print or save this design by choosing the appropriate button on this app. What I'm trying to do is find a way to also pass this design, created from multiple movie clips into a central clip, into a database as well.
The movie clips are "driven" by 21 color chip buttons each which has an instance name of a color, i.e. "black", "brown", "dark_green", etc. By a series of switch/case statements, when one clicks a "component" button (there are approximately 13-15 components) they load into the clips a movie named "(model)_(view)_(component)_(color (event.target.name)).swf". There are many "models" to choose from but within the stage only one "model" is selected at a time, so that wouldn't change here.
The design can be viewed from front, back, left or right, so that's what the "view" is - the colored components that are the same save for the view (i.e., an object which can be seen from either the front or left view) are loaded into movie clips that are either visible or invisible depending on which view one selects. Is there a way I can attach a variable name to a movie clip which is selected (bearing in mind that the application viewer can change the color of each component (and therefore the clip loaded) at will) to be read by the database? Or would the name of whatever movie clip itself that happens to be loaded be sufficient? "populating a database from contents of a movie clip".
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.
View 3 Repliesi am having trouble loading multiple variables into a multline textbox. I am using asp which will output a recordset into flash. For testing purposes var0 should equal three names in my array. Flash is only reading 1. How do I set flash up to read that whole array(3 variables in one textbox)? I know Flash won't output var1 or var2 because I don't have those textfields with those variable names.

I am new to actionscript. I have a movie clip (mc)in my library. The Movieclip has a dynamic text whose instance is "dynamic_txt". I need to create copies of movieclip and each dynamic_txt within that mc, want to assign a value.
for (i=1 , i< 20, i++) {
mymc = mc add i;
duplicatemovieclip(mc, mymc,10);
_level0.mymc.dynamic_txt.text = i
}
However, "_level0.mymc.dynamic_txt.text = i " is giving me compilation error. Will it be
_level0.['mymc'].dynamic_txt.text = i
or
_level0.'mymc'.dynamic_txt.text = i
or anything else. I have tried few combination and either its compilation error or not working as required.

I'm working in Flash Builder and Catalyst CS5 building a project that will aid technicians in finding policies and tools easily. One area that I want to focus on is the note taking section. I want the user to beable to input text and then have a "Copy Notes to Clipboard" button that will gather all the data from those input fields and store them in theclipboard. This way all the agent has to do is paste into the note section on their service ticket.The following is an example of the fields that it would require.Name:Phone Number:Issue:Symptoms:Troubleshooting Notes: also want the label for the text field to be included within the notes. So when someone pastes the notes it won't be just the contents, but will include the name of the text area as well. "Phone Number: 555-123-4567" instead of just "555-123-4567."
View 3 Repliesim creating a small drag and drop game in AS3-
I have 4 objects and 4 targets,
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.
I am trying to duplicate an MC 11 times - that works fine. But the MC has a dynamic text box centered on it. I would like the first one to say "1900" and each one after to be increased by 10. So the second one says "1910", the third says "1920" and so on. I have this code on an MC called "timeline". The MC I am trying to duplicate is called "bar" and is with "timeline":
[AS]
onClipEvent(load){
for(i=0; i < 12; i++) {
_root.timeline.bar.duplicateMovieClip("copy"+i, i);
ext = _root.timeline["copy"+i];
ext._x = 125 * i;
[Code] .....
but to no avail. The dynamic text box on the bar MC is called "year". I have tried making that the var as well as the instance name and still no luck.
I am trying to have one single loader for different buttons to load their specific target. lets say I have btnOne and btnTwo, each of them have their page to link to, btnOne to pageOne, btnTwo to pageTwo, page one and two are external swfs. so can I load them into stage by sharing one single loader?

var swfURL:String = ("external.swf");
btnOne.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);

I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE
function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{
scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);

I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.

I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
