The result I traced keep on coming back as the last in the list.It seems like the xmlList is not assign to different MC.

I have a working build.xml file that I'm using for various tasks like building a swc etc. One of the things I want to do is parse a version number from a class and append it to the swc filename.I am using scriptdef to parse the version number, but I can't work out how to access the result from outside of the scriptdef call.
<target name="output_version">
<loadfile property="version" srcFile="src/Main.as"/>

I have a small problem with dynamic targeting inside a loop. Shortly, I have some buttons which I add listeners to in a loop. loop works fine. I got everything to work, but the second line in it gives this error : TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@d4abe81 to Function.[code]Can anyone help me with the correct syntax for the second line ?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to run a for loop that will target MCs that are embedded in a parent mc... I keep running into issues with the targeting however when I try this:
for(var i:int = 0; i<5; i++){
parentClip_mc["m"+(i+1)+"_mc"].visible = false;
}
This dosnt seem to cut it. How should I go about this? This is the error that I get: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
i have a for loop and i want to do things with it:

I had the following script which worked fine for my buttons which were sitting on the stage and are called 'btn1', 'btn2', etc... However I wanted to animate all the buttons so have put them all into a movie clip called buttons, but now my script doesn't work, I have tried changing all the this targets to _root.buttons.this,
Code:
numOfBtn = 5;
stop();

I have 10 MC that are generated inside of a for loop. Each MC got another MC inside of it that is already sitting on the stage and has it's own instance ame applied! After that I put them inside of a MC container, that I also add dinamicly through the addChild method! But I have one issue when I want to change the position of the child MC(one that is sitting on the stage), through targetting to it's instanceName! The code I use:
Code:
var box1_mc:Box1 = new Box1();
var ball1_mc:Ball1;
var balls:Array = new Array();

It appears the same rotation for every branch. Is this not the correct way to randomize a loop?
Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<branchAmount; i++) {
branch.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x333333,1);
branch.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
branch.graphics.lineTo(0,-50);
branch.x=trunks.x;
branch.y=trunks.y;
branch.rotation=Math.floor(Math.random()*160)-90;
branchArray.push(branch);
addChild(branch);
}
I know this is simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. I am adding a series words to the stage and want each one to move with an ENTER_FRAME listener. The way I have it now only targets the last one added. How do i have it apply to each child when it's added?

I would like to change the variable 'f' from true and false by clicking a button but the actionscript on my keyframe doesn't recognize the actionscript in my movieclip? I know its a targeting issue, but not sure how to alter it in order for the two to talk to each other??

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to detect the event.target of another function in the same calsses.
ActionScript Code:
public function menus():void {

Here is a simplified of the coding that I'm trying to target.
I am trying to target items inside a movieClip container. The container is called holder.
Inside holder I have a bunch of items such as other movieClips and TextFields.
How do I target, for example the TextField inside the holder clip??
Fore Example, I tried this, but doest work...
holder.textField.x = 100;
I'm trying to target a movieclip inside another movie clip which I have dynamically generated the name.
ActionScript Code:
firstText = "text" + randomNum;
_root[firstText].gotoAndStop(9);
[Code]....
The first part works, I can "firstText" and I can make it go to frame 9 and stop but I can't manipulate the movie clip "title_txt" which is inside "firstText"
So from the headline u know that i want to do but i don't know how to do it!
ActionScript Code:
/// activate the mc with the button from the main Menu
mathSecondMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, otvoriVtoroMenu);
[Code]....
the problem is that i can get to the button from the first event, but i can make the Mc "proba" to go to "math_basic"!
Whats the correct syntax for declaring a variable within a loop? Something like this:[code]

Okay I'm working on a pretty big project, and the last thing I need to do is get this content to display. Here's my lil problem. So I'm loading buildings, and when clicked on, I'm loading a movieclip from the library that has a slideshow movieclip on the first frame, however this slideshow is packaged externally. This slideshow has a "xmlPath" that is defaulted to a XML file. My question is... what kind of code can I use to control which xml is loaded when loading that packaged slideshow?

I loaded this "slider" swf into a "sliderHolder" on my index swf file. inside that loaded swf there's a movice clip called icon_mc. I'm trying to target it and make it go to a specific y position within that loaded swf on a MouseEvent inside the index.swf. I can't seem to make it work.I triedI have traced sliderHolder and it says it's empty.I have traced sliderLoader and it gives a Loader.So how do I access the movieClip if I just have those two as references?Here's what I have and want to do in code:
Code: Select all
var sliderLoader:Loader = new Loader();
sliderLoader.load( new URLRequest("sliding/ImageBar.swf"));

People using the form mailer decide to load it externally and when they do they discover that the form won't go to the "thank you" frame. The onClipEvent (data) I assume fires but then you have [code]on the main timeline of the external swf and that didn't work. What is the secret to firing an onClipEvent inside an externally loaded swf?
View 7 RepliesI have been searching for an answer to this and can't seem to find one for AS3:I have a scroll pane component that dynamically loads a movie clip from my library. This movie clip has buttons inside that I would like to access from my main timeline. I can't figure out what my target path should be (for AS3).In AS2 it appears that it would be something like this:scrollpaneName.spContentHolder.inside_btn...AS3 doesn't recognize spContentHolder though so it must be something different...
View 4 RepliesOk, i bought a scroller that works well scrolling content. With elasticity and stuff.
My problem is trying to access buttons inside the scroller.
I have an instance of the scroller component on stage and named it Scroller. I set the content in its component inspector. It loads a movieclip from the Library called Panel. Inside the Panel i have 2 buttons. button1 and button2. If i publish everything works fine.
Now i am not very good at AS3. How do i access the buttons. i've tried this among other bits and pieces i found on the web.
Scroller.Panel.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, somefunction);
Can't get it to work. I know the Panel movie out of the library that the Scroller component loads needs to be somehow listened for but i don't have a clue.

View 0 RepliesI have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?
