ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Name Objects In A For Statement Using AddChild?
Jan 26, 2009I was wondering where did go the for statement with attachMovie from library in AS 3.I mean i was having in AS 2:
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
attachMovie("sim", "sim"+i, i);
}
Now in AS 3:
for (var i=0; i<5; i++) {
addChild(new sim());
}
I can't figure out how to name every instance of the "sim" object from library that i add to the stage without using string.How do I dinamically name the added instances of the object from the library for future reference and usage throughout the code?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Listen For Objects Created By AddChild?
Feb 10, 2010i created a "for" function who īll display an X number of buttons with addChild, and give a name for each using button.name = "name" + variable but later if I want to listen for the buttons using their name donīt work, already know that there is getChildByName so i tried but give me the same error who tells that there no object with that name.My question is, how i can listen for the objects created if i already have a name for each one of them? here is the code im doing.
for(var i:int = 1; i <6;i++){var miBoton:boton = new boton();var miTexto:TextField = new TextField();miBoton.x = i * miBoton.width + (i* 10);miBoton.y = 20;addChild(miBoton);miBoton.name = "boton" + i;miTexto.text = "hi";miBoton.addChild(miTexto);trace(miBoton.name);trace(miBoton.parent);}
Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing AddChild Objects Indiviually
Dec 15, 2009I'm a seasoned AS2 developer who's been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of ActionScript 3.0. I'm working on revising an old project coded in AS2 that needs to be re-coded in AS3 and It's been slow going. I have a question regarding addChild (attachMovie) function. My scenario is as follows: I'm pulling data from an XML file that dynamically builds a scroll list from items in the library. Each item in the list has an individual button function attached to it. I'm generating my list just fine, but I can't access the items as individual buttons. Instead, it seems that the entire list has the properties of the last child added.

ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild From A Class - Get The Error "1180 : Call To A Possibly Undefined Method AddChild?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWFs, AddChild(Loader) Versus AddChild(Loader.content), Etc?
Jul 29, 2009I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
Flex :: Objects Drawn By Flash Graphics Class Exist As Objects?
Jan 16, 2011Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does Setting An Array Of Objects To Null Erase The Objects From Memory
Apr 27, 2010I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Objects Class Find And Change Another Objects Xy Properties?
Oct 13, 2010What I have is a game with a Level object, inside the Level is a Player object, and they don't have instance names given, what I'm trying to figure out is how to do is make it so that the player can change the x or y properties of the Level object.
To be more precise, I'm making it so that when the player moves in a certain direction, he either moves accross the stage, or he starts moving the Level object around the stage, it'd be in an Event kind of function, now I can easily make the Player move, but I don't know how to make the Level object move which the player is inside of.

The basic problem I am having is this: I have a Customer class in Java that has an ArrayList of Address classes. I have a Customer class in Flex that has an ArrayCollection of Address classes. When I make the remote object call for a Customer I get back a Customer object in Flex, but the ArrayCollecion objects have a data type of Object instead of Address. If I try to call for a List of Address classes I get the same result. If I try to call for a List of Customer classes I get a list of Customer classes in Flex. Using tomcat 6 with the following jars:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Aligning Variable Sized Objects And Objects Inside Them
Jun 29, 2006How do I align a movieclip, which width and height is user-defined, inside another object (this one is static, though). Top-left alignment is easy, x=0 and y=0, but what about center, center left, bottom left, etc? Math(.round) i suppose, but how?I want an object (static) inside the movieclip (user-defined) to stay aligned to, for instance, the top right corner, similiar to the minimize, maximize and close buttons at the top right of your browser.. The height and width data is pre-defined by the user in another file.But that does probably not make any difference...
View 3 RepliesLoading Objects And Dragging Objects To Create New Instances?
Sep 22, 2009I want to create a flash movie which firstly loads a selection of images/objects into a portion of the frame. After this is complete, the user can then drag these objects onto another area and the object will be created where the user has chosen. The user can then drag another instance of the ojects onto the area.
For example, there is a background of a lake in one area. A selection of boat pngs are loaded in an area below the lake. The user can drag these boats and place them on the lake. They can drag a boat multiple times if they wish.
