View 1 RepliesHow can I convert a string to a class without getDefinitionByName because that class is not linked to a library item and getDefinitionByName only works with classes that are linked to library or allready initialized! Is there a way? Or I have to initialize every class I want to use?!
View 2 RepliesIn Flash I am able to create a font asset and add it to the library:I want to convert this asset into some BitmapData that will contain all of the characters with the correct letter spacing/line height etc.
Is there an inbuilt way of doing this other than manually creating text fields, adding a character, using BitmapData.draw() and then adding the result to a sprite sheet?
If I need to do it manually like above, is there a way to retrieve all of the embedded characters? For example, in the above screenshot I'd expect only a-z, A-Z. Or will I need to note these manually as well?
I have an array of ingredients for soup as strings. These ingredients are also movieclips in my library, all linked with an identifier. I want to add the movieclips to the stage dynamically.
I tried getDefinitionByName but I keep getting an error that the variable "appel" (veg[0] in this case) is undefined. And basically, I only have a general idea what I'm doing here, so I would be grateful if someone could explain it to me or link me to a helpful tutorial.

View 4 RepliesIm trying to create an inventory where when you click an object it will automaticly go into your inventory, the inventory is embedded in other movieclips.I have quite a few spaces(movieclips) in the inventory box when it is open but I just need it so when you click an object it attaches to a movieclip in the inventory.I also need it so that if you click a different item it attaches to the next space in the inventory rather than overlapping an item you have clicked before. I would only have only about 15 (or something similar) spaces so if I have clicked 16 items the 16th item cannot go into the inventory.

How to convert a movieclip in the FLA into an AS3 code?
I have read an article posted here for Flash CS3 and it seems promising.[URL]
However, I can't find the function "Copy Motion as ActionScript 3.0" inside the Flash CS4 menu.
I have... ~1300 "Drawing Objects" (read: Shape) sitting on the stage that were Paths in Illustrator and were pasted in as part of one cohesive image. I need to be able to access all of them via ActionScript, but as with my post on the AS side of this problem, they are all stuffed into a single Shape and not accessible independently.

basically what I am trying to do is dynamically add graphics using actionscript. So far it has worked but I ran into a problem. I am using addChild to add the pictures and the instance name.addChild(imageLoader). I need to convert the xml parsed data (xmlData.player[0].@position) to a instance name which I believe is data type MovieClip. So I am trying to convert my xml which is a string to a movieclip. Here are snippets of code:
var position:MovieClip = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Doesn't workgives Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@1f2d2e09 to flash.display.MovieClip.
var position:String = XmlData.player[0].@position; //Does work

In my .fla, I created a symbol called TestClip and select Linkage > Export for Actionscript and named it TestClip.
My code in my Document class traces the xml:
var t:*= getDefinitionByName(String(slideItem.linkedMovieClip)) as Class;
var linked:MovieClip = new t();
trace("linked is..."+ linked); // outputs [Object TestClip];

However, I am still getting an error message. When I check the debugger it's from this line:
var t:*= getDefinitionByName(String(slideItem.linkedMovieClip)) as Class;
