I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners. I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:

I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)
I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies

View 2 RepliesI found this code to turn strings into a movieClipInstanceName that exists within a known movieclip.
Code:
// CREATE THE STRING
var newString:String = "movieClipInstanceName";
//CHANGE THE ALPHA OF THE MOVIECLIP TO 0
this[newString].alpha = 0;
However, when using this code for a movieclip within a known movieclip...
Code:
mc1.this[newString].alpha = 0;
...or...
Code:
this["mc1"].this[newString].alpha = 0;
I get this error...
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
Code:
this["mc1." + newString].alpha = 0;
...throws this error...

I have 3 checkboxes where the user can select whatever he wants. I would like to store his selection in the database into one field.
I was thinking of encoding it into a String:
0: nothing selected
100: first selected
101: first & third selected
etc.
I think that's a nice way. However, how do I extract the information again? Using substr() to get each checkbox's state?
Is there a better way of encoding/decoding this information?
I'm trying to turn caching off so when I reload the text file, it always gets a fresh copy. I keep getting compiler errors however with the useCache line. I'm not accessing the properties correctly or something. When I take out that line it works fine but always fetches the cached file.
My code is:
loadDoctorVariables();
function loadDoctorVariables() {
var requestJo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("

View 2 RepliesFlex's text-editing controls (mx:TextField, mx:TextArea) offer functions for doing "stuff" with the selected text (selectionBeginIndex, selectionEndIndex, setSelection), but the text-displaying controls (mx:Label, mx:Text) don't seem to offer anything of the sort.After some tinkering, I've tried subclassing Label then writing functions which give access to the underlying TextField instance... But even then, setting the selection didn't work![code]So, is there any better way to access/change the text which is selected in mx:Label and mx:Text controls? Are there "better" controls to use?

I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to disable a few columns for a particular row in flex datagrid?
I have a datagrid with about 10 or more columns, say for example a few column names are: Item Id, Item Name, Item Status and VerifiedState. Initially I want the column Verified State to be disabled.
Now When the value of the column, Item Status is Review Passed for a particular row, I want the column VerifiedState to be enabled and editable. Is that possible in Flex datagrid.
I have a combo box and I am using the 'selectedIndex' property to give it a default value (a value that is at the first(0) index). Setting this property in my ActionScript does select the value in the dropdown but it does not add the selected value to the combo box's text area. How do you do this? I make has no affect on the text area.
Here is a sample of my code. The combo box list is populated fine. And the value is selected IN THE LIST. However, once you select a value in the list the combo box's list closes and nothing resides in the combo box's text field.
comboBoxData.insert(0, {data:1, label:"Show me something specific"});
for (i in animations) {
comboBoxData.push({data: i.uri ,label: "somevalue"});

View 2 Repliesi'm having some trouble with an actionscript-generated ComboBox here's my script
[Code]...
If i open .as file (or something else) in Notepad++ and select any variable or some other text, it will highlight all of the occurences of this variable in text of this opened document. And you can quickly see where this variable have assignemnts and so on. But in Flash CS3 i can only use standard Find dialog to search throug opened .as file and it finds only one occurence, then you hit "Find Next" and you've got another. Not so comfortable. So does that feature exist in Flash CS IDE, or something similar? (i can't find that)

View 2 RepliesSo.. all I want to do is to have a toggle button which changes label color to #999999 when selected. But for some reason i cant get it to work
This is my code for the button:
Code:
package components.main_content.submenu.submenu_link
{
import components.NoTruncationUITextField;
[Code]....
I tried assigning it with CSS (text-selected-color) and failed, i tried putting <mx:SetProperty target="{textField}" name="textColor" value="0x999999" /> in my skin class in all "selected" states but it worked only when run (one of the buttons starts as selected).. as soon as i ran my mouse over it or clicked another button it reverted back to the original color.
I'm using Flashbuilder 4. I have a Spark TextInput control, and I'm implementing a "Copy" button that will copy the selected text only from within this control to the clipboard (pretty much like the RMB Copy does).

So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.
