ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting A Listener To Distribute To Instances Individually
Jun 23, 2010
I'm trying to instance a button that I've made in a for loop. Everything else works, but I'm having a problem with mousing over and out. I was intending to make it so that each label would respond to its own instanced listener, but instead only the last label is responding to the listener. So, no matter which button I mouse over, only the last button's label animates. It seems like something that's simple, so I'm going to continue trying to work with this.
Here's the loop:
Code:
for(var i=0; i<MenuButtonLabels_arr.length; i++)
{
var menuBtn:MenuButton = new MenuButton();
var MenuTextContents_mc:MenuText = new MenuText();
am loading an image onto stage dynamically. When I click on the loaded image, i am drawing a circle/rectangle[which is of Sprite type] at exact pixel-position on the image and making these circles/rectangles(Sprite_objects) visible there itself. In this way, I am adding as many number of Sprites_objects, till I continue clicking on the same image present on the stage.
The code in my application(which displays red colored rectangles when you click on the image) is as follows:
If you copy the code into ur actionsPanel directly,then make sure "image1.jpg" file * is present beside the .fla file.Since it gets loaded iff it is present in same directory.
*/ var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var temp_x:int,temp_y:int; //Loading an image dynamically and adding listeners... var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image1.jpg"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(urlReq);[code]....
I have several 1000 MovieClips (representing US counties and states) on the stage after the swf is loaded. Each MovieClip has a different instance name. Currently, a user can mouse over a county in NY, for example, and I only want the boundary for the the county highlighted. However, the state boundary is also highlighted as well.
I added this type of listener at the top: addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, someFunction);
The problem is, it is applied to all MC instances on stage. Any suggestions on how to add the event listener to only specific MC instances? I thought I could add the event listener to the layer, but does not seemed to be working. And since I have several 1000 I don't think typing out mc_instance.addEventListener for every different mc is the correct way.
I have developed a sound scrubber which consists of flash file holding graphic assets and a document class.I want to distribute this sound scrubber, allowing others to pass a variable to it defining the actual sound file to be loaded. Is exporting it as a component the only way to do this ?
I've got two movieclips box and box2 and I've place them in the same layer because I couldn't get each box to move individually in seperate ones I've placed this code on the frame
Now I've got both movieclips shaking but they're on top of each other rather than in the places I want them. I'm sure its a case of changing something but what?
I've got an fla with over two thousand movieclips in one frame. Each movieclip does not have an instance name. way to control each movieclip individually? For example, rotating all movieclips 45 degrees?
I've adapted the xml photogallery on this site to preload the image, but I would like to also be able to preload thumbnails (individually) Here's the code so far:
I have 2 text boxes in my scene and I want to be able to scroll both of them individually. I tried using the scrollbar component but I can only get it working on 1 text box.
has anybody a solution to this "Distribute to layers" - Bug. Every time i try to use this feature, flash is prompting a failure. As an animator, i am used to use this all the time. if i dont get this fixed, cs4 is worthless to me.
I have a datagrid. It is populated dynamically by an XML file. I need to be able to set each row's text color seperately. For example, if my variable "type" is "urgent", it would be a red text color.I've spent almost 2 hours trying to figure this out. I've tried setStyle, setRendererStyle, setTextFormat and many more and dozens of combinations.
How can I validate the cells in a DataGridColumn individually? (ActionScript 3.5) The validation is configured per-cell, based on fields in the given row. For example
FIELD VALUE TYPE age 13 Integer height 13x3 Integer
I am trying to take and XML string and then display the numbers individually. Below is my Actionscript followed by my XML.
import fl.controls.*; var digit01_xml:XML; var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testRBS.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{ [Code] .....
I've made a pretty complex button thats actually a drop down menu. So when you mouse over the button, it opens the drop down menu, but the actual button is also clickable. The problem comes in when I copy the button like 4 times. I can make the main button go to different links, but everything inside the button,i.e. the drop down links, changes across all copies whenever I modify one. How do I go about making each button a different separate button so that I can modify each one individually?
I have created a vector design in Illustrator on a single layer and have imported it into my Flash library using the import layers to Flash Layers option. Because I created the design on a single layer in Illustrator, the design imports as a single layer in Flash. My problem is that I cannot distribute any of the individual graphics to a new layer, even after converting them to movie clips. When I select "Distribute to Layers", a new layer is created for each of the selected graphics but the layers are empty.
I have also tried cutting a graphic from the import layer and pasting it into a new layer but it always pastes back into the original import layer rather than the one I have selected.Is there any way around this or will I need to go back into Illustrator and create separate layers based on my needs in Flash?
this loop business is giving me a headache, i can't seem to get flash to recognize functions with a variable in itHere is me doing it the long way and i'm trying to figure out how to do it with a loop.I have 4 buttons going across and i'm trying to create another row of buttons under it, a total of 8 buttons.I also created a sprite called squareBtn
ActionScript Code: //displaying buttons //the difference in X is 34
I have been trying to figure out how to distribute buttons with a loop and I did it but now I don't know what the instance name is to target it.i tried using dog and that doesn't work I tried to set the instances names as _1 _2 _3 _4 but its registered as undefined.
ActionScript Code: var dog:squareBtn; for(var i:int = 1; i < 3; i++) {
I have got a movie which consists of 12 scenes and in the first scene i let users to choose a mouse cursor.There are 8 Movie Clips on the scene each represents a different mouse icon.And when user chooses one of them I use this code to change the default mouse cursor
What would be the best approach to create a map that has attributes that need to be individually made visible or not.For instance a map of a state and want to be able to click one button to make cities visible and another to see highways, and turn them on and off separately.
I have set up a single, one-page resume/portfolio website, but I'm having difficulty finding a way to get the 2 individual movie clips to play individually - not at the same time.Everything is set up on a time line. Each movie clip has it's own layer with it's own button via Code Snippets as follows:
CArrow1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_15); function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_15(event:MouseEvent):void {
I have a datagrid. It is populated dynamically by an XML file. I need to be able to set each row's text color seperately. For example, if my variable "type" is "urgent", it would be a red text color.
I've spent almost 2 hours trying to figure this out. I've tried setStyle, setRendererStyle, setTextFormat and many more and dozens of combinations. I know its simple cause I think I've done it before.

I am trying to breake apart text in flash (CS4) and distribute it to separate layers. The breaking apart works fine, but when I want to distribute the letters into layers, I get this: "could not complete operation because of an unknown error".
Is there any possibility to load the elements of an Array individually on stage with TweenMax? I mean to be loaded individually with a delay for ex. 3 sec each?
