ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Axis Dynamically?
Apr 28, 2010
I would like to set which axis is manipulated dynamically; or rather, I'd like to use a custom dynamic variable to set which proper variable to use.
Kind of like this: my_mc.x=55; or what i want to do is: my_mc.variableAxis=55;

I need to create a horizontal menu with adding textfields with different widths dynamically on x axis. I have been doing this manually arranging the textfields on stage and get the x co-ordinate. I would really like to be able to do this with scripts, so in the future if I need to add/delete/change the numbers and positions, I can do it easily by just changing the scripts, But my maths knowledge is limited.

My code works fine as long as all the dynamically created MC's have the same height.he following pulls in data from an array structured as such:
Code:
elements1= [
{file:"image1.jpg", sequence:0, header: "", description:"Text One", VRname: "Sample1" },

I want to make a dynamically (using Drawing API) drawn ellipse rotate around its axis. It involves a lot of trigonometry which I'm not very good in .

I am trying to construct coordinates with distance in meters on the x-axis and time in seconds on the y-axis, without using the timeline. How can I draw the divisions on the x-axis and y-axis ? Or I better draw the whole thing.
var my_shape:Shape = new Shape();addChild(my_shape);
my_shape.graphics.lineStyle(3, 0xFF0000, 1);my_shape.graphics.moveTo(50,50);my_shape.graphics.lineTo(50, 300);my_shape.graphics.lineTo(500, 300);

Heres my question. How do i make an object move along the y axis once it has reached its x axis target?
HEre is the code, that i got from here.
and what in this code is making the MC ease out?[code]...

I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
Code below -
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]..........

I am creating an interface where a user can pick up "Polaroid" stle photos and shuffle them around a virtual desktop. I want to photo to shift it's transform point to match the point at which the user picked up the photo, to create a "swinging" effect as the photo is dragged.there was an AS2 workaround floating around, but I want to find the AS3 equivalent, and seem to be unable to find it in the Geom/Matrix package/classes.

I'm trying to read xml fields (with actionscript 3), but the problem is that I choose which field to read dynamically. For example, I may need to read test19 or test39 or test12 or anything else.
var value:Number = event.result.test19;
var value:Number = event.result.test39;
var value:Number = event.result.test12;
Is there a way to construct that event.result.test19 part dynamically? Something like the code idea below

I'm trying to dynamically set the addChild linkage identifier, but am having little luck.
Code:
for(i=0;i<6;i++){
if(i==this.myId){
var section:MovieClip = "section"+i
this.addChild(new section);
}}
In AS 2.0 I could simply do this:
Code:
attachMovie("section"+i, "section",0)

I need to set limits when generating a random number and this (code below) is just a temporary fix until I can set this limit dynamically.
The number is set to be between (0-4) by running an IF statement which sets a fixed upper limit. This works but I need the limit to update dynamically. My main goal is to use the numChildren property of an XMLList object (passed as argument) to set the maximum limit since the random number will be used by a loader when loading an image from this same XMLList.
Currently there are only 5 images in the XML file so this IF statement works. I would like to have the maximum limit update dynamically when the XML file has images added or subtracted to/from it.

I have a little issue im trying to resolve. Basically i want to inherit the embedded text format properties from one text field which i have off the stage (empty) to another text field i have on stage. Ive came across the function of getTextFormat(), however when i try to apply this to the other text field it doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
onStageTextField.getTextFormat(offStageTextField);
Ive embedded italics into my test field which is off stage. I guess im doing this completely wrong?! I know i could simply create a new TextFormat() then apply that to the text field but is there a way of inheriting the format properties of one tex tfield to another on stage?

I keep feeling like this is just a case of not RTFM hard enough, but I'm just not seeing the answer. Is there a way to use AS3 to dynamically set leading in a dynanmic text field?I've found the getLineMetrics function, which returns a TextLineMetrics instance. This instance can tell me what my leading already is, but when I try to change the value I see nothing change onscreen. Likewise, I don't see any setLineMetrics function to go along with the text field. Is there just no way to change it?

Long time listener, first time caller here. I'm having trouble with how Flash sets the _x property of a dynamically created movieclip. If I create a rectangle on the stage using the Drawing API:
Code:
//for the purposes of this example, assign a value to i
var i:Number = 0;
//assign var squareName
var squareName:String = "square" + i;
//create an empty movieclip named [squareName] at depth 1
this.createEmptyMovieClip([squareName], 1);
[Code] .....
I'm not new to Flash by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never come up against this problem before. For context, I'm actually getting my feet wet with the Tween class, and am having trouble animating dynamically created movieclips due to this confusion with coordinates. When I tween a dynamically created clip from one set of coordinates to another, they are offset by the movieclip's _x and _y properties starting at 0, 0, rather than their actual position on stage.

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.
Here is the example:
My Class for the user interface:
Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.
here's a small piece of code i can't get working:
//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input
[Code].....
bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..

I'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.
Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.
e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}
In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.

Multiple axis creation via MXML works fine:

But when I'm trying dynamically create horizontal and vertical axis then I'm getting extra axes. I believe this is Adobe bug. How I can fix this behavior?
