ActionScript 3.0 :: Recursive Menu And Variable Scope With MouseOvers
Aug 7, 2009
In the code below, I'm looping through nested xml structure of an unknown number of levels. GenMenu is (or will be) a recursive function that will build each level of the menu. My problem is that I can't figure out how to reference the variables from an eventlistener function. I need to pass the children node_xml[i] to the next recursion, as well as set hover styles on the menu links, etc...
Code:
function GenMenu(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {
// variable declarations
var curr_node = new Array();
var curr_menu:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(curr_menu);

I am attempting to create a Flash5 menu tree, following the Flash4 tutorial at this [URL] I have created the two MC's (a "topMenu" and a "subMenu"). However, when I place the two MC's on the first frame of _root , the properties of the associated buttons get screwed up if I place the two MCs in a verical alignment. It appears that Flash5 makes a consolidated object, such that the _height property for the second MC is determined by adding the _height property of both MCs.
1. Could you confirm that this is what's taking place?
2. Is there a way to use Scope to eliminate the problem?
3. Other recommendations?
NOTE: if you move the lower MC out to the side, the problem disappears. Although a workaround, this seems to be a poor way for the program to function.

Take a look at this code:
Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Test
{
[code]....
Well... Doesnt work at all... In the class, there isnt a instance of i, so, how may i access this property inside a class function? But i still have an way to access the class.
I could do this way:
Code:
class Test
{
function Test(mc:MovieClip)
{
[code]....
But this way, doesn't sounds good

I've been having trouble with scope in subclasses, where variables that I would like to be local to each instance of a class are instead global. For example:
Code:
class Prototype extends MovieClip {
//Various functions all clips have access to
}
class Ship extends Prototype {
[code]....
I've found that if I instantiate more than one ship, the hitboxes array is populated with clips from every instance of the class, instead of staying local to each instance as I'd like. Is this because I'm attaching them with a constructor?

I'm trying to make a Class for a slideshow. I have a problem using the setInterval and clearInterval methods.See my code below. In the showPic function I have a conditional clearing the interval (repeating the showPic function). At least, it should do so, but it's not working. The interval continues. I'm using "this" so that's not the problem. Maybe it has to do with the scope of the variable to which I assigned the interval?

I'm working on a sliding gallery like Hulu. Setting it up and the sliding slides in and out is working fine. However, I need to add and then remove a button to each slide as it comes in and goes out. (I initially tried including the button on each slide, a mc, but this proved problematic for the event listeners). So when the file loads up, I add a mc to the first slide of the group like so (features[] is an array of movie clips - my slides):
Code:
var goBtn:MovieClip = new FeatureButton();
features[0].addChild(goBtn);
goBtn.x = 350;
goBtn.y = 230;
So I add the button/mc to the first slide - works just fine.
So there are two handlers, next and previous. So I started with the next handler. The first thing I have to do is kill the button on the panel that is sliding out, so I do that like so:
Code:
features[featureCount].removeChild(goBtn);
goBtn = null;
(featureCount is a counter keeping track of the slides). This works fine. I click the next button, and the button on the slide disappears and we move to the next slide - perfect.
So then I add the following next - exactly like I did in the beginning:
Code:
var goBtn:MovieClip = new FeatureButton();
features[featureCount].addChild(goBtn);
goBtn.x = 350;
goBtn.y = 230;
This time adding it to the current slide coming in - but this generates the following error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at featuregallery_fla::MainTimeline/nextFeature()
How I'm getting an error on the removeChild() when that is already gone. I assume "parameter child" means goBtn - yes it is null because it's been removed. But I'm not trying to do something with that. I can only guess this is a variable scoping issue with goBtn - but I'm not seeing how to resolve it. Flash file attached.

I'm binding an array of items to a data grid using ItemRenderer. I use the data variable to control the bindable data. I also have someComponentVariable that need be inserted into every row but its declared at the component scope, so the data grid doesn't seem to reconize it (compile error). How can I use this variable (someComponentVariable) inside the ItemRenderer?

You will find enclosed a ".zip" file in wich there's a ".fla" file, a ".txt" file and 6 ".jpg" images. Frame 1 of the FLA only has a "Preload" class/constructor found on another site and works well. Frame 2 launches the graphic interface construction. The file "externalVar.txt" has one variable "maxVin" with a value of 6.
I would like to know WHY i can't acces this variable from outside of the loadVars object's scope (i would better say from outside of its ".onLoad" methode scope). In fact, when i trace my variable "maxVinNum" from outside of this function, flash player return "undefined". Even if i declare "maxVinNum" on the _root (_root.maxVinNum). For information, at the start of frame 2, i have let an instruction in comment: //var maxVinNum = 6; When we activate this instruction, then the variable is directely declared and everything works well. This test allow us to verify that scripts are not bugged. Here is the script of frame 2, some of you may understand quickly what's wrong :

I'm not an experienced Actionscript user so I'm not sure what the normal way to associate a custom class with a movieclip that has been designed in the Flash IDE is. I made a class called Window to control a movieclip called TestWindow. There are some buttons in the movieclip whose
functionality I would like to assign the instance of class Window. How is this supposed to be done? Here's a representation of what I mean. I hope it is sort of clear. My actual problem is that the local variables are outside the scope of the onPress function but I also think there must be some other way of associating classes with movieclips that have been designed in the IDE.

I would like to block mouse overs/buttons beneath a movieclip that has played. This should be straightforward by creating a new layer and inserting a string, however, these techniques haven't worked for me and one of my questions here is, "Are these solutions not working because my movieclips play from external swfs in a container?" Either way, I'm up for hearing any solutions you may have and trying them out even if I've tried them before.
Secondly, I would like to create a "back button" which excutes from my movieclip and unloads all movieclips. I need it to return to my main menu. Unfortunately, I've tried buttons which include the command unloadMovieClip and that seems to prevent all movieclips from playing again. This could have something to do with what I mentioned above - all of my movieclips are called from external swfs into a container.
The least important of these (since I need the first two things to work before I do this detail) is... if one of my buttons is pushed starting a movie clip and the user then pushes another button that also starts a movie clip before the first clip has finished playing, How do I interrupt the first movieclip so the second can begin playing? Currently, my movieclips will play through until the end before they will respond to a new clip being loaded.

My flash piece is not responding when I mouse over it, unless I hold down the mouse button while I do it. It's as if the flash object is actively surrendering focus unless I hold down the mouse button or something.

My file has four hexagons that normally get bigger or smaller in response to MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT behavior. Trouble is, when the file opens, I need one of them to expand independent of any user interaction, just the once, and reduce size whenever anything _else_ is moused over, just the once. Then the whole thing can go back to normal.
I'm trying to look through code examples, but I'm getting lost in people talking about packages and custom events and so forth that I don't understand (remember: designer here!). Can someone at least help me break down the concept?
This is what I have, which probably isn't the most succinct thing on earth but works for the mouseovers and for stacking the items properly, since they overlap a bit (the playHexIn and Outs just go to tweens iin the timelines of each hexagon, making them bigger or smaller):
Code:
var maxIndex:Number = this.numChildren - 1;
hex1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,sendToTop);
hex2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,sendToTop);[code]....

I think I have the recursion working properly, but I'm not able to get the originally requested item's property set to the right value.The goal here is to find the topmost parent (or "ancestor," depth = 0) of the nested item (a taxonomy based on Dictionary "parent" attributes), and assign that originally requested nested item's "ancestor" property accordingly.For instance, in
Apples
- Red
- - Empire
- - - Fresh
"Fresh"'s ancestor should be set to "Apples." While I'm attempting this on an "on-demand" and individual basis, I'm open to a solution that tags all children that are related to the same ancestor in one fell swoop or for statement, since that would probably be more efficient.
REQUEST
for (var mc:Object in taxonomy) {
var term = taxonomy[mc];[code]....
As you can see, while the recursion does find the root, the originally requested item still gets the default value.

I am making a SUDOKU generator(ActionScript2.0), which would (for now) generate the full and correct sudoku table. To do that I need to use recursive functions for calculating all the possible values. The problem is that when I try to run my program I get this error :
Code:
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.Is it possible to somehow work around this limitation?
