PHP Code:
var trail1:MovieClip=new trail_1;
var trail2:MovieClip=new trail_2;
var trail3:MovieClip=new trail_3;
[Code]....
This is what I want to happen but attempt at making a for/while loop gives me this:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at momentum_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
PHP Code:
var i:Number = 1;
while(i < 7){
var NameTemp:MovieClip=new ["trail_"+i];
[Code]....
Why does the first loop work but not the other?[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a project I am working on in Flash CS3 using AS3.I have a drag and drop quiz that contains 8 boxes. 4 of the boxes contain dynamic text boxes with the vocabulary words. 4 of the boxes contain the definitions to the vocab words. The students drag and drop the vocab words onto the definitions. My issue is that hitTestObject is only working on the first box everytime. I have a for loop in my endDrag code that should loop through each object and test against it to see if there is a hit. Can anyone see anything wrong with my loop?

I create 30 text fields dynamically on the stage and want to set text format for all text fields. I use 'setTextFormat'. It works fine for single text box. But not working if I give this in loop. See the code below. It creates thirty input text boxes on the stage. But it assigns text format only to the last text box. When code Copied and placed in frame 1. The stage size should be 800 x 600. Execute the program and type in the last text field. I want that to happen for all text boxes.
ActionScript Code:
var xtpos:Number = 10;
var ytpos:Number = 10;
var i,j:Number=0;
var depth:Number = 100
var k:Number=0;
[Code] .....
In the above it traces only the last text field.
I am having some trouble with some code. buttons are not working.
Code:
menuLoc = new Array("menu_main", "menu_philosophy", "menu_portfolio", "menu_resume", "menu_contact");
for(i=0; i < menuLoc.length; ++i){
_level0.navMenu.menuLoc[i].onRelease = function() {
trace("hit");
}}
The array has the instance names of the movieclips which are located in navMenu.
I'm trying to create a "for" loop to load thumbs into existing movie clips using the following code:[code]This should load thumbs 9-17. The trace shows the variable is incrementing but I'm not getting the thumbs to load.
View 2 RepliesI'm loading a variable from a .txt file into flash (per client request).The variable is as follows &ClientNumberOf=4 so the variable = 4, this works on trace, happy, joy When I try and add the variable to my for loop..[code]I've tried a slew of different options...(for example)var newVariable: Number = ClientNumberOf; Nothing works, again, trace works, but script fails to work when I try and dynamically set the loop?!
View 1 RepliesI'm very new to Adobe Flash CS5.5. Can you create a common instance EG: "Enemy" and then control it like so:
Enemy.x += 1;
So that all instances of Enemy will move forward one pixel each frame? Instead of just one enemy? If this is not possible could I set up some sort of array of enemies like you can in C and try something like:
int EnemyNo = 1;
for(EnemyNo = 1; EnemyNo < 5; EnemyNo++) {
Enemy[EnemyNo].x += 1;
}
Does Flash even support "for" loops?
Why doesn't this work?

times = 6;
for (i = 0; i <= times; i++) {
_root.createTextField("txt" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());

}[/AS]
It works for empty and library-linked mc's but not textfields...

In the following code, I create 12 buttons, label them, and control their onRollOver,onRollOut, and onRelease actions. Everything is working fine except for the line containing the "slideTo" method. Reading from the two arrays for the x and y values, it appears to be inserting the largest number in each array instead of stepping through all 12 values. Currently, clicking on any of the buttons moves the object (ralphMC) to x=100 and y=800. I am pretty stumped about this, as I've inserted quite a few various numbers into each array during testing. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?slideTo is part of the mcTween package, in case anyone wanted to know. code follows:
Code:
//Creates an array of numbers that will evenly space the buttons out vertically
var mcPosY:Array = new Array();

View 0 RepliesThe problem is my buttons stop working after a certain point. Now I think it's because I need some kind of loop somewhere, but I'm not too sure. I've included a trace in the code so I know the button is not working anymore. (At least the function of what I want it to do).

I don't think I understand enough about arrays or for in loops to understand why this isn't working... it traces the array, but not statesArray[states], and it doesn't change the alpha of anything.

I'm building a small XML menu where I want to call a function for each subitem's onrollover

The menu gets populated from the XML file, no problem. However, the onRollOver simply isn't working, but why?
I have the following which works fine just out side of the loop statement:
loadMovie("icons/test.jpg", "pIcon0.Icon");
But inside the loop statement no image shows up.
I need it in the loop statement because eventually the code will call the jpgs out of an array based on the loop variable. And put them in a movieclip number by the variable also.
I'm trying to have my program select from a random assortment of pictures in the file, and each one is labeled Transition1, Transition2 etc. Each instance of the symbol is named transition1, transition2, though 4. The 4 symbols are in one other symbol with the instance name TransitionImages. For some reason when I run the program it doesn't put the files in the symbols though
stop();
var checkNumberArray:Array=new Array ;
var transitionimageLoader:Loader;

I have a for loop updating a dynamic text element but it seems to iterate so fast that only the last item in the loop is updating the text. I'd like the dynamic text element to be updated with EACH item in the loop, not just the last.

I would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.
