ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Values Loading To Multiple Sequential Textfields?
Sep 2, 2010
I want to have each text identified as marketLocation1, marketLocation2, etc up to 150 and I wanted to use a 'for loop' to place the value of that XML node into each labeled textfieldHowever, the only issue is... each individual text field is buried inside a button so that the button displays on mouseover an associated XML fields data.Meaning, I mouse over a dot on a map (button) and it pulls up a statistics balloon about that location specific to our companies needs. I'm a total AS3 noob, so I'm not sure if I should be calling to the XMLdata loaded for a specific set of values on entry to that mouseover, or if I can preload the data for that button into it's specific text fields.Specifics are for the xml/flash file
Code:
<market MarketID=1>
<marketLocation>Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC</marketLocation>
- Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 internal training project- Main movie is a single frame project, containing just the interface. This includes a menu listing 80+ individual "chapters" for the training series.- Each "chapter" is its own project/swf. Once the main interface loads, it should begin to play the chapters sequentially without the user selecting anything from the menu. When one chapter finishes, the next should load. If the user DOES select a chapter in the menu, it should load that SWF, and continue auto-playing from that selection forward.- Each chapter has a built-in play/rewind/ff bar, various movie clips with animations, dialogue audio track and a fairly lengthy embedded FLV movie, and therefore a preloader before each chapter is mandatory.What I have so far works, but it's embarrassingly crafted:- First frame of main movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code (most of this code was taken from an online tutorial):
var slideName = "modules/intro.swf"; var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); loader.addListener(this);
I have 10 text fields set-up (not sure if these should be dynamic or component), below that I have 30 separate CheckBoxes setup. When a user clicks a CheckBox, it places the value of the selected CheckBox into the first TextField. The second CheckBox selected places that value in the second TextField, and so on.
I have a few dynamic generated buttons, and I need on their action to change values in some dynamic generated textfields. The part of the code we're interested is this:
Code: nr_rinduri = 20; // number caming from somewhere else this["mc"+j].onRelease = function() { num = Number(this._name.substring(2))+1; nrInceput = (num-1)*nr_rinduri; trace("NR inceput=" + nrInceput); [Code] .....
So... : if I put codice0.text = ..., codice1.text = .... it's working, but when I am trying to do a this["codice"+contor].text = .... it's not working.... Is this because we are inside another this[] ... the one for the button and when I am referring to this["codice"+contor] the flash see that I want to do something at the button and not at the textfield...
I'm working on my first real Flex app and i have learned a lot by it. Now I'm trying to understand the basics of working with classes. I have a function that asks information from the LastFm API. This is the base function:
I'm using a for loop and creating multiple textfields in that, that populate with variables from an aspx page.My issue is that no matter what I do I cannot get all these fields to datapage or scroll, I place them in another movie clip, and assign them to that clip, and I can scroll the background contents of the clip but not the dynamic fields.All the scrollbar tutorials for textfields are based on single textboxes or graphics. What can I do to get all the generated fields to scroll inside the stage area?The function of this is to pull from a database of flights that gets updated, and allow the user to select and view what times/dates etc. are available.
Actionscript Code: var reply_lv = new LoadVars();reply_lv.load("#");reply_lv.onLoad = loadedDotNetVars;_root.createEmptyMovieClip("databox", _root.getNextHighestDepth());function
I'm using AS3 and FlashVars to pass info from the page into the SWF to write content into a TextField. The whole process is actually using ASP to pull info from the URL and write it into the FlashVars field which in turn gets put into the TextField.I'ts working great.I've got the formatting and positioning and everything looking and functioning just how I want.My only problem is I'm a bit of an AS3 newbie and for the life of me I can't figure out how to use 2 different Variables to create 2 different TextFields.
I am working on a Results page for my game as well as upgrade page and looking for an easy way to do many textfields. I have a format for my text that takes care of font, colour, and size, but looking for an easy way to do the width and height of textfields to increase all at the same time.I have been informed about a "with" keyword that may work but do not understand how to implement this within my program and essentially want to shorten my results class if possible.
Outside a loop, I have created a text format object, and then inside a loop I go through a number of iterations of a textfield object. When I declare the var for the textfield inside the loop, as well as its affiliation with the text format object, nothing displays. If I declare the var for the textfield outside the loop, it displays without issue, however, it only displays the last iteration of the loop (obviously). Why can't I have multiples textfield objects using the same styling?
Here i'm trying to put the strings of array into a couple of textfields.[code]...Assign array into multiple textfields?
there is no error message in this but there are nothing shown in the textfield either, nothing at all.
i wonder how can i convert the text string to instance name at the left side of "=". as i look up the web, most issues about converting string to instance/object name are talking about the right side of "=".
On my other topic about xml for loops. Creating multiple xml driven textfields out of one movieclip and place them below each other. Since the movieclip (which includes the xml driven textfields) is exported for actionscript and doesn't exist on the stage, how can I add a scrollbar in order to scroll all the dynamically generated text together like it was inside a movieclip on the stage?
I am trying to use a for loop to clear a bunch to textfields. The textfields were not created dynamically and they are inside of a movieclip named mcContentOnStage. I need help assigning the number to the textfield name.
I have a few dynamic generated buttons, and I need on their action to change values in some dynamic generated textfields. the part of the code we're interested is this: CODE:
How can I create a for loop so I can use different values of the same node? So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields. Note that I have mutliple Movieclips on the stage with the same amount of textfields and I would like to include them in the loop, so I named them mc1 mc2 etc.
I have two text fields, textL and textR, that read like a book with a specific height and width. Currently I have the external .txt/.php set up variables for each page. Example of book.txt :Code:&page1=Hi this is page one.&page2=And this is page two.I am looking for ideas on how to approach using just one variable which is split at the absolute end of textL with the rest of the variable or string loading into textR. Basically, automating the split of the text when it runs out of space in each field.
I'm having a problem with loading some xml from an external file into my swf. I'm trying to populate various dynamic text fields with the appropriate value. Eventually this will be used to make it possible to change the language used for them, by changing the xml path.Right now, everything seems to be in place, but I am not getting the actual value into my text field.[code]
This below Is the typical XML we might have to change it. What I supposed to happens is when. a button I clicked the http link is activated and all this info in this but be placed in the various text windows also below.
I have created a content navigation system using xml. On the left there are a list of items and when you click on them their descriptions load on the right. I've gotten most everything working, however the list of items (which you click on) is messing up my formatting scheme creating a run-on page. Since the items are loaded using a for var i++ method, they each been created in separate textfields. I was thinking there must be a way to load them all into a movieclip and then create a scrollbar for the movieclip itself so that the user doesn't have to scroll the entire page to view the items.
What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.
I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.
//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really'); //Array to .push "save" created textfields
I am adding a mc to the stage (linkage name: SavedTopic) via mouse click calling this function. There will be a random number of these clips, based on user decisions. How can I set the 'savedTitle' and 'savedText' as variables unique to this specific MC, that can be accessed later via textbox inside the 'topic' movie clip. I've tried:
I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.
When you want to split a string in to an array, seperated by the letter "e" for example. So string: 0e5e8e7 would become 0,5,8,7..[code]Is there a way you could split a string by multiple values? So instead of it splitting the string when it comes across "e", could you have it split when it comes across "e", or another character.
I am working on an RPG-type game, and in this game I've defined multiple objects for characters, named char1, char2, etc, then assigned the objects values such as Health, Magic, Strength, etc. I then created a dummy object with all of these same values, except every value is set to zero. There are some 30 values in every object.
I would like to see if I could do something like:
Code: dummychar = char1;
to transfer all of the values from char1 to dummychar instantly without having to define every value transfer, however, I can't seem to find the correct bit of code, because doing the above seems to erase all the values from the dummychar object completely.
The point of this excersize is the make the dummychar object a placeholder so I can switch char1 with char2, meaning char1 would take char2's place, and vice versa. The dummychar object will hold the values for char1, then char2's values will overwrite char1's values, then the dummychar's values will overwrite char2's.
My current way of doing this includes telling every single value in the char objects to transfer, but that takes up quite a bit of coding space, and I was wondering if there is an easier way.
I'm pulling info from an XML file... there are three variables (year, month, day) that I need to process further in another function, but I can't figure out how to send them out of the function and into the next for processing.
Is it possible to make their values globally accessible?[code]...
