ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading XML And Assigning Listeners In A Loop?
Jul 26, 2010
I am loading a XML of county data for western US states and assigning listeners to movie clips of those counties. The counties have names that are equal to the field named afips in the xml. I am trying to assign listeners to those movie clips as called through a for loop. The counties are children of the parent MC name all_cnt.
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

I'm trying to use a for loop to create 219 movie clips and have it assign the value i to each one. This is how the movie clips are named on the stage
rollover1_mc, rollover2_mc, rollover3_mc and so on.
Heres the for loop I was trying:
Code:
for(i=0; i<220; i++){
rollover + i + _mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
}
doesn't seem to be working.
Basically I need it to repeat so i creates the following lines of code:
rollover1_mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
rollover2_mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
rollover3_mc.onRollOver = displayContent;
etc, etc.

In the for loop below I use the "i" var to work with 5 movieclips. The problem is that I also want to use the same "i" var to assign text to a textfield but I can't figure out how to do it. (tf.text = String("txtInfocon"+i);)
Code:
var numbChildren:uint = this.numChildren + 1;
var txtInfocon5:String;
var txtInfocon4:String;

don't fully understand the Projectionpoint trick to flip items with the projection point at their own center in stead of the stage center so I can't seem to figure out how to for loop enough points to each movieClip on stage so it will flip around its own axis in stead of the stage axis.I hope I made myself clear there...
PHP Code:
for(var i = 0; i < obj.numChildren; i++){ if(obj.getChildAt(i) is Flip1Button)

all the traces show up correct but not the gotoAndStop on the movieClip (inter+i+_mc_)'s.

I'm loading 8 thumbnails via XML, placing in a sprite, and spacing them out with a helper grid class. This part works. What does not work is when I try to assign a mask to each of these (using a simpleRectangle class I made) I appear to only be assigning a mask to the last image. Am I doing something wrong with 'imageLoader.mask = _mask;' ?
My ultimate endeavor here is to click the thumbnail and animate the mask to reveal the entire thumb.I nested the showPictures function so it could have a reference to the masks, which is not optimal.
package
public class MiniGallery extends Sprite
{
//create($columns:int, $rows:int, $xSpacing:int, $ySpacing:int, $xPadding:int, $yPadding:int)

This function all works correctly, except where i am assigning an action to the onRelease event of a given button. Every button is assigned to the same value (appears to be the first value pulled from the array).
function createSubItems() {
vspacer = 6;
i = 0;

is that possible? i'm a complete beginner when it comes to flash and actionscript... so if it sounds like i dont know what i'm talking about... it's because i don't!let me describe my situation...I have about 20 boxes... and on each box i want to assign the onPress to trace the value corresponding to an Array at element "i" in the console...instead of doing:
Code:
box1.onPress = function() {
trace("the value is: "+hypotheticalArray[1]);

I have great difficulties with something that should be rather simpel to solve, but the problem is that I'm out of solutions to my problem.The buttons that are created from an loop that retrieves it's data from array's doesn't load the external swf, instead it gives my an 'undefined' output.I tried several different array constructions found on other threads, defined them differently, but it won't work.
Here's what I'm working with:
[AS]buttons = [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8];
titles = ["BOEDDHA", "GELUKSHOEKJE", "GEUREN", "INTERIEUR", "VECHTKUNST", "PERSOONLIJK", "SERVIES", "VERMAAK"];
swfArray = ["products.swf", "products1.swf", "products2.swf", "products3.swf", "products4.swf", "products5.swf", "products6.swf", "products7.swf"];
[code]...
As you see, I made an Array of the .swf's, put the swfArray in a loop and tried to define them to the buttons with the onRelease function.

Here is the structure of the XML file: PHP Code: <xmlfile><page></page><page> <source></source> </page></xmlfile> Some "page" nodes contain the extra "source" node. What I'm currently doing is looping through all the page nodes and looking for any source nodes. If there is a source node, I create a variable, and want to assign it a value of the contents of the "source" (HTML).

I have 8 movieclips on the stage: but1,but2,but3,..,but8.How do I use a for loop to add event listeners to each? I am trying this, but i'm sure its not correct:
Code: Select allfor (var i=1;i<9;i++){
but[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onOver);

how I would be able to add listeners to the stage using a for loop. currently my code looks like this, it is being called when the document opens.
var i:Number;
for(i=1;i<8;i++){
thumbselect.thumb"+i+".addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, images"+i+");
}
That is not working. I tried quoting the whole thing, that did not work. I did trace it like this: trace(' thumbselect.thumb"+i+".addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, images"+i+")')
and the trace came out with the correct strings.

I have a parent SWF (Parent) that handles user navigation between multiple children SWFs (Child_1, Child_2, Child_3). How do I add event listeners to the navigation buttons on the children SWFs so that the user can move laterally between Child_1, Child_2 and Child_3? I can think of two options but can't get either one to work:
1) The parent SWF sets up the event listeners when it loads a child. So, I use a loader on Parent to load Child_1 and in Parent add eventlisteners to Child_1.myNavigationform.myButton.
The problem here is that the Parent is only handing the loader instance and I can't think of how it would drill down to the individual objects within Child_1.
2) Child_1 adds the event listeners to its own objects. This just reverses the problem. Child_1 has no problem accessing its own buttons but when a user clicks them it has no way of accessing methods on parent so that Child_2 can be loaded.

I am writing a preloader to load an external SWF. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;[code]...
Etc. It keeps going until I close the movie.For some reason it's continually trying to load the movie...and I have no idea what. I literally copy and pasted the loader from a different (working) loader and swapped out the URL to the file.

create a multidimensional array which will pull text, swfs, and/or images from an xml file based on which button is clicked.What I don't understand is how to pull the swf or image file from the file like I have with the text. Truth be told, I'm completely lost and could really use some help fixing this. I need to pull text and images or the swf file from the xml depending on which button is clicked and I tried to put this together, but I've given myself a headache trying to understand where I went wrong.
ActionScript Code:
var pageXML:XML;
//Load the XML file.

I would like to create thumbnails in a player. For that, I have to load external swf files in a scrollPane component.
so in a for loop, I attach a thumbnail container in the scrollPane content, and with that container I load the swf.
the idea of the code is that :
mcThumbnailsScrollpane:MovieClip = menu.thumbnailsScrollpane.content;
var X_pos = 30;
var Y_pos = 25;
[Code].....
and so basically 8 or 9 thumbails are visible (on 34). furthermore when I skip the loadMovie and let only the container, I can see all containers. so I feel like the ScrollPane is not refreshing fast enought, or the movies take too long to load ...
