How would I access the first element of this array first entering the frame. I want to get buttons[0], or brandingbtn, to be activated.
Code:
var currentButtonId:Number = 0;
var buttons:Array = [brandingbtn, printbtn, packagingbtn, mltimda, typebtn, funbtn];
buttonCall();
function buttonRelease() {
for(var i:Number = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {

I cannot wrap my head around this simple concept. All I need to do is access the element in myArray at the third position on Mouse Over. I've tried myArray[i][2] but it come back as the last element in the array.Here is my code.
Code:
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
trace("Data loaded.");

I have a dynamic class, which has an array declared normally, before runtime.Usually, you can dynamically access a variable, whether it has been declared or not with
myClass["variable"] = 4;
however, trying to do this with an array, like so
myClass["array[0]"] = 4;
does not store 4 into the first element of array, and instead stores it into the variable "array[0]". For instance, after executing the previous code,
trace(myClass.array[0]);
traces undefined, where as
trace(myClass["array[0]"]);
traces 4.
Is there anyway I can access the elements of the array dynamically?
I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?
View 2 RepliesI have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
I've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().

Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.

I am having a problem with my drop traget. I have the ability to drop and duplicate multiple objects on a stage. I have a clip set up (canvas) which is used for if someone drops objects onto this it duplicates the dragged clip.
However the problem I am having is that if someone tries to drop an element on top of an already drop/duplicated element, it wont duplicate the new clip. Its like it thinks that the dragged clip is not over the canvas.
Is it possible to get the id of a swf's containing element? I'm pretty familiar with DOM scripting, so any kind of reference to the swf would be fine. I need to initialize registration of the swf to an array in javascript

View 1 RepliesI have a reference to a XML node which is part of a bigger XML tree. Is there a way to get that elements next/previous sibling without accessing the parent and looking for it? Something like DOM's nextSibling would be what I look for. edit: Given that there is no natural way to do this with E4X, I'll just stick to the following (except that in my case, I'll store the actual index somewhere instead):

I have several animated movies (counties in Ireland actually) that when clicked animated up in size and display some information. I then have a button to the left that I would like use to animate the movie back to its original size i.e. close it. Thing is that I would like to pass the name of the current movieclip to the button and use it in a function. I had thought of using a switch statement but id need 26 of them for this function alone. Solving this would reduce my code a lot. My attempt is as follows:

I know how to get one element from the array. But I don't know let's say how to take 3 elements ( position 0,1,2). I don't know how to trace all the three together. I am getting errors all the time.
var myArray:Array = [1,2,3,4,5];
trace(myArray[0]);
trace(myArray[0], ?,?);
I have an array like this
public var dataAL:Array=[

View 3 RepliesHow do you set a variable attribute of a xml element?This is what I expected to work:xmlElement.attribute(variableAttr) = "the variable attribute is set to this string";
However, I'm getting some error that this value can only be retrieved as a reference and not set.Ofcourse, the following does not work either as it will look for the attribute named "variableAttr" and not for the attribute named after the value of the variable variableAttr:
xmlElement.@variableAttr = "example";
When you do a "for... in" loop, it will iterate over a Dictionary for example. I was wondering how internally this is being tracked and how it could be accessed?
I think the Dictionary class stores a reference to the first item, but I would like to access it and check but I cannot figure out how.
I have a screen with a few components (textInput, textArea, checkBox). I want to check if there has been any changes to the components. Foe example if text has been entered or checkbox has been clicked. Is there a direct way to do this instead of checking value of each component and then setting a Boolean for this?
View 3 RepliesHow can add element to array in ActionScript3
If i have an array: var myArray:Array;

Something like in_array function in php
I've got a spark list that gets dynamically filled.So far the new items appear at the bottom of the list. What I'd like to do is to add them at the top.The items in the list have a unique ID so some kind of sorting mechanism would probably do the trick as the new items have a greater ID than the old ones.What I'd like to avoid is some complex method behind this as I'm working on a mobile platform and the list can get quite big so I need this to be as efficient as possible.The list's data provider is an ArrayList that gets updated using binding.

fpdl is the namespace of xml, how can I operate the element of the xml by using the actionscript. I try to use example.["fpdl:ExtendedAttribute"] to visit the element, but it doesn't work.
I know that I can access an XML Element with tag name 'page' like so:
xml_variable.page[i].toString();
This is not what I want, however.
What I want to do is access the XML Element with the tag name equal to a String variable in Actionscript:
var page:String = getCurrentPage();
xml_variable.page[i].toString());
I've done this in javascript and am wondering if it is possible in Actionscript 3.
I currently have some XML which looks like this:[code] I don't have any <discount> in my second listing. The content of <discount> is being displayed upon some graphic which I'm tweening around. However if there's no discount, I want to set this movieclip to ._visible = false - since its pointless to have it tweening around when there's no text on it.How on earth would I check if <discount> exists or doesn't? In most cases it will be there, but in a few it won't.[code]
