I have four buttons with eventListeners that call four different functions. Each function name starts with the button name. like this:
Code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btn1function);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btn2function);
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btn3function);
[Code]....
this a sample code that im currently using...but i need to find a way do this long script, as simple as possible...
[Code]...
different buttons have different functions, so how can i add the functions by looping them?
I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI want to add a series of event listeners. they work fine in individual lines of code:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
but when i use this loop, i get a 1006 error, "value is not a function":
ActionScript Code:
var buttonNumber:Number;
var buttonName:Array=new Array("home","resume","portfolio","contact");
for (buttonNumber=0;buttonNumber<4;buttonNumber++) {
buttonName[buttonNumber].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,route); }
is there something obvious that's wrong with my last line in that loop? i've narrowed it down to the part where I call the array value. but after that - I'm at a loss!
I am trying to add event listeners to a series of buttons using a for loop but can't get the event listeners to trace the name of which button was rolled over. Here's a simplified version of the code.

I am creating an app with Papervision, and I'm trying to create an interactive grid.I have created a for loop to lay out each tile of the grid, but I want each tile to be individually interactive. I have tried a few things but no luck so far. This is basically how far I am:
Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 10; i++) {
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 10; j++) {

Everything works fine except MouseEvent.CLICK addEventListener.menuInfo variable contains part of defined instace name.cURL contains full URL to link.If I trace menuInfo variable, it outputs correctly in order as I exptected.But last event overwrites everything to last element of xList (contains XML list).How do I make this work correctly
Code:
function createMenuEventListener(xList:XMLList):void
{

Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
teacherOptions.btnAction[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnAction);
}
I have 3 buttons inside the teacherOptions movie clip and they are called
btnAction0
btnAction1
btnAction2
The code I am using doesn't seem to work...I don't want to create an event listener for each of the buttons beacuse they are going to be a lot more than 3, how can I do what I want to do but without errors ??
PD: I know that if the buttons weren't a suboject the correct code would be:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
this["btnAction" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnAction);
}
But when it's a subobject you are dealing...things change.
I'm having a problem with the CLICK and navigateToURL part of my scripting. The roll states work fine. I'm getting this error message and am not sure why.

I have a script that contains: an array of movieclips -> MaxBallArr
another array of movieclips -> MaxBallLrg
an array of textfields -> MaxToolTipArr
a library movie clip -> max_box
I'm trying to gather them some how in an addEventListener which worked fine in that way:

I have 14 movie clips on the stage, each of which has it's own on and off mode and each goes to a separate URL.I would like to use loops to consolidate the code however I am having trouble with the handler.So far I am using the code below but the question is how do you give each button it's own functionality since the handler is the same?
Code:
for (var i:uint = 1; i < 3; i++) {
this["lexus"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, manageMouseOver);

I am working on a page where three differnt buttons effect one movie clips properties, the one movie clip will go to its rollover state when any of the buttons are on rollover, hmm, that sounds about right] i have assigned functions within a loop and the rollovers, rollouts and instance in the loop have been defined for all but the movieClips dont go to the right place. the code i have used is this....

all the traces show up correct but not the gotoAndStop on the movieClip (inter+i+_mc_)'s.
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

I've created a basic function that sets a movieclip to a certain state depending on which mouse cursor is set (determined by a variable called txt_cursor). I can hard code this to work great for the one single movie clip but potentially have to do this for 624 other movie clips so obviously want to create a for loop to reproduce this.
Code:
chk1.onRelease = function()

is that possible? i'm a complete beginner when it comes to flash and actionscript... so if it sounds like i dont know what i'm talking about... it's because i don't!let me describe my situation...I have about 20 boxes... and on each box i want to assign the onPress to trace the value corresponding to an Array at element "i" in the console...instead of doing:
Code:
box1.onPress = function() {
trace("the value is: "+hypotheticalArray[1]);

I'm using a For loop to program the buttons on my website. The first time I use i to associate the thumbNail functions it works well. However when I actually do click the button, the second i always refers to 12 - the final number in that loop. How do I get the second i to correspond to the first i? I know its an easy fix, but I'm stumped!

I want to loop through a array to call my functions, but can't get the syntax right, is this possible?
var myArray:Array = ['function1()', 'function2()'];
for (var key:String in myArray){
// I want to call the function here
}
After loading the movieclips and text boxes dynamically I now need to get the movieclips to perform a unique function when they are pressed, for testing purposes I am using the getURL funciton and linking to the boxNo. This is just so I can see what is going on!At the moment they are all linking to the boxNo that is pulled from the last run of the loop.
for (var i = 0; i < loc.length; i++)
{
var boxNo = loc[i].location_ID;;

I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()

var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions?
Code:
_root.myButton.onPress = function(){
hide();
