I am trying to figure out how to write some AS code that creates a button using dynamic jpg's for the on, over and down states. I am sure this possible, but cant wrap my head around it.
I know I can use a loader to get the image, but how do i place it in a button's various states? The only state I understand right is that of confusion :-)...
I've been looking at this for four days and not getting to a solution. I've got an xml file with patent data, and a .fla that needs to populate a dynamic array of buttons. I've got a trace statement that shows that the xml is loading, and the first button appears, so I know the linkage and naming are correct. But for some reason I don't understand the button labels don't populate with the xml data.

View 6 RepliesIf I have a ComboBox component on stage and it has 11 options in it, is it possible to populate a dynamic text field with text based on which one of the 11 options are selected?ComboBox has instance name of 'age' and has 11 options to choose from (Opt1, Opt2, Opt3, Opt4, Opt5, etc.).There are also 11 dynamic text fields (instance and variable names of c1, c2, c3, etc.). I want the text fields to be blank unless the corresponding option is chosen. So, if Opt1 is selected from ComboBox 'age' then populate 'c1' with the number 1, if 'Opt2' is selected populate 'c2' with 2 and so on, otherwise the text fields stay blank.

just wondering how to populate the list component with XML. when an item is clicked it needs to execute the actionscript specified in the XMLmy XML looks like this:PHP Code:
<application name = "Something" actionscript = "gotoAndPlay(3)">
if that's not possible...are you able to call a function?
I would like to create a function that adds a child to whatever mc i choose like this where targetMc is the mc that i want the child (libraryMc) to be added to
PHP Code:
functionName(targetMc,libraryMc);
so right now my function looks like this
PHP Code:
function functionName(targetMc:MovieClip,libraryMc:MovieClip):void
{
var libContent:libraryMc = new libraryMc();
targetMc.addChild(libContent);
}
i know this is wrong as new libraryMc() is also being replaced with the libraryMc:MovieClip and that is probably why it's not working.

- copy child nodes from one tree to another

View 0 RepliesI trying to populate a combobox from a .php file and return the values of the selection. I have the .php set up to where it outputs something like
&artists=anartist,anartist2,anartist3, etc..they have names..
I already have the combobox set up to where it displays
anartist
anartist2
anartist3
after you click the dropdown arrow..How would I get it to return a the numerical value for the artist (ex: anartist would be "0" since it is first in the list) and put it into a variable so that when it is selected it could be placed into an eval() function to create a variable such as "albumcover0" to be loaded through a function. I have been reading tutorials for hours to no avail. I want a single function to produce the number from the selected artist and place it into a variable, then go through all of the loadImage(for the "album image") etc functions..they will be functions that I have made already previously and call all of them with the number in the called fuctions (ex: loadImage(0)) where "0" is the number derived from the variable out of the combo box. Ive tried tons of tutorials, I think that it has something to do with me using flash mx 2004, and as2 turned on.

View 6 Repliesdon't know how to frame my query but i'll try to be as specific as possible.Let's say I have an xml file which I load into my flash app and then populate a listbox with it.So I'll take following steps1. load xml file2. parse xml file and make an array of items to be put in listbox3. loop through the array and populate the listbox (basically attachMovie)Now for step 3 I have been using for loop. This is ok if there are small number of items in a list box. But when the list is quite long (say 200 to 500 items) there is certain lag.same paradigm applies if I have to put different graphic elements on a blank board dynamically.

i have a built a little interactive map for a client and have a series of movie clips contain contact details and email addresses when each city is clicked upon.I am using the mc tween prototype to alpha them in and out to make it look a bit more slick. The map_mc contains movie clips for each city (with an onClipEvent to populate a field in a pop up with the city name) which in turn contain an invisible button with (on) rollOver, (on)rollOut actions and (on)press actions for displaying the pop up and contact movie clips for each city.I have written a function that resets the email and web address buttons inside each contact movie clip (on)press which works fine:

everything works perfectly apart from the lines in red. The enabled = true is simply not working. I have checked that the path is corrected by substituting _alpha = 30 and the email and web buttons

View 5 RepliesFlash CS4, using actionscript 3... how can you populate a datagrid's cell with a combobox?
View 5 RepliesOK, I'm new to AS3, and this is the biggest thing I've tried to do. I'm simply at a loss for the right path to take to accomplish what I want to do. In a nutshell, here's what the end result will look like: The stage will contain a large (on X size) movieclip with a scrollbar (not important to this discussion). This movieclip is created using AS3. The large movieclip is populated with many smaller movieclips created from a template in the library. This template contains some dynamic text fields (let's call them text1_MC and text2_MC). The dynamic text for each smaller movieclip is provided from an XML file containing the text1 and text 2 data.

I've actaully got all of this working.All I need now is to make the comboBox text HTMLtext so that I can use the HTML tags to color the text different colors or bold them.It might be important to mention that I need to change only some of the things listed, not the entire list. So if my list on the comboBox is "item 1", "item 2", "item 3", "item 4", I only want "item 1" in bold and colored red.
