ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Text To Stage Through A Loop?
Oct 28, 2009
I have added text to my stage through a loop. There are 3 different words that are added to the stage. I put the text in a mc and then used the mc for the reflection. but for some reason the whole word does not reflect. Just the last 4 and 5 letters. All of the words are 6 and 7 letters long.Heres my code:
Code:
public function placeletters():void {
for (var i:Number=0; i<numButtons; i++) {
textfield = new TextField();[code].....

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have several buttons on stage (8), and I want to add a slighty different action for everyone of them. How do I do that, All the buttons always get the last past of the "FOR"..
Code:
function loadThumbs(eventoUrl:String) {
for(i=1; i<=9; i++) {
temp = this["thumb_"+i];
with (temp) {
image = "fotos/"+eventoUrl+"/thumbs/"+i+".jpg";
loadImages(image, temp);
temp.onRollOver = function() {
this.play();};
temp.onPress = function() {
this.loadImages(image, image_big);
};};};};
loadImages() is a LoadMovieClip type function I created.

I am just getting back into AS after about 4 years so bear with me. I have a movie that I show and remove as needed on my stage. The movie shows 2 frames of content that pauses between them so the view can see the data. I simply want to loop the frames when the movie is on stage. This is what I have written to control the movie.

I'm trying to use a loop to add some movie clips to the stage, but I want to give each one a different name so I can refer to them in another function, but I don't know how that is done. I'm trying to learn how to do this so I can create an Isometric game. Here's my code....

I am reading in collection objects from an XML file. Each collection has an img field that stores a URL to the collection image. So I am trying to load the images of each collection, storing each image in a MovieClip, and add these MovieClips to the stage. However, my problem is that after adding a MovieClip (with the collection image) to the stage, when a new MovieClip is created in my 'for each' loop it overrites the previous MovieClip. So the images I am adding to the stage are being replaced by the following collection's image on each loop iteration. What can I do to avoid this?

I've been working on this for over 3 hours and it is about to drive me crazy! I was one of those people who never paid attention to math in high school because i thought i would never use it ( i knew i wanted to be an artist/designer of some sort). But now of course, that attitude is coming back to haunt me. I'm using a for loop to place several objects on stage. I need a formula that will space objects along the x axis evenly, and center all the objects on the stage. Kinda like if you use the align panel in flash to distibute the vertical centers of several objects to the stage, if that makes sense. If there is only one item, it should be directly in the center of the stage. If there are 2, it should place them in the center of the 2 halves of the stage, and so on for howeve many objects there are. I also want a buffer of about 25 pixels on either edge of the stage so that no object is ever on the very edge of the stage. I made a simple diagram to illustrate:

I'm adding several similar movieclips to the stage with a 'for' loop. However, I'd like to increment the position of each movieclip when added on to the stage. I know exactly where I want each movie clip positioned as well. At the moment I just have a small 'for' loop which setups the movieclip. Like so...

I have created a banner in Flash CS5. It starts with a blank stage and an image tweens on to stage from the right edge. The image stays on the stage for a few seconds and a 2nd image tweens on to the stage and completly covers the 1st image. Similarly 3rd and 4th image cover the preceeding images. When I play the animation, before the 1st image covers the stage, there is nothing prior to it. When the 2nd starts tweening over the stage, the 1st image is still there.
Similarly for the 3rd and the 4th images, there is an image covering the stage. But after 1st loop completes, the animation goes back to a blank stage and the 1st image starts tweening on to the stage. Iwould like to have the 4th image stay on the stage while the 1st image starts tweeing on to the stage. I have started using Flash recently and am not very skilled with the program or ActionScript.

I am trying to create a card game (deck of 24 cards/6 cards will be dealt to the stage at one time (3 arrays)).
I want 6 cards to be dealt to the stage when you click the "Deal" button. I think i have the loop set up properly, the first array traces, however i can't get the cards to be added to the stage. What am i doing wrong? Once i get the first set of cards to be built to the stage, i will want to remove the previous set and the second set will be dealt to the stage once the "Deal" button is clicked again.
//code
var aArray = new Array();
aArray[0]=Card1;
aArray[1]=Card2;

I'm adding several similar movieclips to the stage with a 'for' loop. However, I'd like to increment the position of each movieclip when added on to the stage. I know exactly where I want each movie clip positioned as well. At the moment I just have a small 'for' loop which setups the movieclip. Like so...
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i<=8; i++)
{
zone[i] = new Zone();
}
I then have a long list adding and setting each mc position on the stage...
ActionScript Code:
stage.addChild(zone[0]);
zone[0].x=267.6;
[code]....
Although I've just had a thought as I was typing that last bit of code. Will I need to setup a for loop for each row...so the y position remains constant and I just increment the x value for each movie clip, and then repeat this for loop for the next row with the new y coordinate?

I thought would be coded like this:
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
sp.graphics.beginFill(0xFF88CC);
sp.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 50);
[Code]....
however, I realize even tho im looping that addChild method, its still adding sp, so do I add a new naming convention in the loop, or should I be adding these instances to another display object.... this seems like such a simple thing to do yet I cant figure it out, I also want to randomize the x and y, but this first seems to be the issue I need to address.

I've got two functions running that change the colour of certain objects within my stage. I'm wondering if I can combine them into one which would half the code (and eventually quarter the code because I'm planning on adding two more colours).

the code above outputs exactly what i need it to do to the specific dynamic text fields i've assigned, but i was hoping that there is a way to put this in a FOR loop? this code below works in the output panel
Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<sC.length(); i++) {
trace(sF.text()[i]);
trace(sC.text()[i]);
}
but i can't get it to work with multiple text fields,
