Basically I have five mcs on the stage, MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4, MC5, and I would like to change the alpha, for example, each time I click on nextBtn. I would control the number of mcs but altering the if (j <= 4){ line.

The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox

I was wondering if you could loop through your library or a specific folder in your library and get alle linkage names of items that have 'Export for Actionscript' checked. I have an amount of items in my library of which I want to random pick one. Of course I could just use an array of linkage names that correspond to my library items, but I was wondering if there is a more efficient way.
View 2 RepliesWhat I've got is a menu that loads images as buttons. It will only display menu items that are within a certain group (i.e. if themenuitem.node Value == groupid[q] then it will display that menu item. Each of the menu items has a unique number (Itemnumber[n]). I have a loop that goes through and displays the menu items that are within a certain group. I am currently able to also find out the unique number of each of the menu items where themenuitem.nodeValue == groupid[q], but what I want to do with these numbers, is place them all into an array as it loops through.So, say for example, it finds an item in the loop. It tells me this item is number 4 (if I tell it to trace(Itemnumber[n]) within the loop). Then, it finds another item in the loop, and it tells me this item number is 6. I want to be able to add items to an array as it loops through, so I'll have an array at the end like this: (4, 6).Currently my ActionScript looks like the following. Never mind if there are variables that are not defined in there -- they have been defined in other parts of my movie.[code]As you can see, I've made an attept at achieving this by trying numarray[numarraylength] = n; -- but all this does is send me an array, then overwrite it next time it loops (so I get an array like (4, 4), then one like (6, 6). I've added comments in the code to further explain what I'm trying to do.

If you have a series of sprites created in a loop:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numItems.length(); i++) {
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
}
Which you added event listeners to, in the same loop:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numItems.length(); i++) {
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.addEventListener(....
}
How can you remove those listeners, then add them again? I need to kill and re-enable the listeners of many sprites which were created that way.
im trying to do a for loop to load xml items into flash but im stuck,

Well, i have this line of code
Code:
var t1:thumbBack = addChild(new thumbBack(x, y));
And i want to create many thumbBacks with names t1, t2, t3... with a for loop.
I tried something like this, but it doesnt seem to work
Code:
for(i=0; i<8; i++){
var this["t"+i]:thumbBack = addChild(new thumbBack(10 + i*200 , y));
}
I could pop, shift, splice or slice it out of there (hey, that had a nice ring to it...)

View 12 RepliesIn one area of my application I am creating a display that builds itself with actionscript during a loop. (in my actual app there are A LOT of nested children and my function might be looking for any of those children) In that AS I assign each item an ID, but when I try to access that item by it's id it fails. What gives? and how can I accomplish finding a UI component without having to go through knowing all of it's possible parents? [code]

I am using a ContextMenu for an AdvancedDataGrid in my application. I could implement the normal context menu for the grid.

Is there any way we can do that?
View 3 Replies 1. An XML list, which works just fine, retrieves between 3 and 15 strings (or menu names). These menu names are put into an array called, "aGalleryMenuID".
2. I want to be able to create a MovieClip and TextField dynamically for each string and place them on the stage dynamically. So if there are only 5, it will make five. 3 will only make 3. The long way of doing this is to create 15 MovieClips and 15 TextFields and use a loop to use addChild. This is okay, but what if later it is decided there needs to be 30 menu items. I want to avoid that and make this future proofed.
for loop that loops through the # of array items in aGalleryMenuID
set the MovieClip's name to a unique identifier
set the TextField's name to a unique identifier

I have 10 dynamic text fields inside a movieclip, which are populated via an XML file. However, the xml file sometimes has less than 10 items. It never has more than 10. This results in the following error, which is normal. I need the code to count the amount of items in the XML file and then create a for-each loop. I can visualize it, but I don't know how to write it. Basically what I need the code below transformed in to is this... (notice the #'s)

Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 871086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbracket.Is what I'm trying to do possible without some clunky switch statement?
P.S. I tried searching the forum for an answer but the terms are so common I couldn't find what I'm looking for.
Lets say I had a rectangular sprite that could fit about 10 'list items'. However, I have like 100 list items. What I desire is adding all these 100 list items to this one rectangular sprite, so 10 will fit and the 90 should be masked, and I can scroll through this rectangular sprite (by dragging the box upwards) to view more list items. This means that only 10 list items are visible at one time but I want to scroll through all the list items dynamically.

What I'm trying to do is dynamically assign instance names to movie clips placed on the stage based on their position on the stage. Say if one had an _x value of 1, i would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip1" and if another had the _x value of 599, I would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip599". Logically, I would think it would work like this (placed on each individual movie clip):

This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!
