ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Dynamically Created MC Within Another Dynamically Created MC?

Feb 17, 2010

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.

This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.

PHP Code:

var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Loading External Jpgs Into A Dynamically Created MC?

May 18, 2009

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

Actionscript 3.0 :: 2 Addeventlisteners 1 Function

Sep 1, 2009

Don't care about that squares that is inside the functions, I'm just using it as a example.I'd like that both eventlisteners when removed use the same onclick3 function, in the following code they recognize the onclick3 because it is outside of the eventlisteners. So, how can I remove the eventlisteners and both of them use the same onclick3 function?

I need both of them to use the same onclick function, and not 2.

Nov 16, 2010

I'm creating receives xml from the asp server its on.Because of this, there isn't an xml file that I can open and add to in the places I need carriage returns.To compensate for this, I've been using the split and join method.[code]Essentially I'm looking for certain nodes in the xml and adding a carriage return to the beginning of it.I had to add the extra quotes around the otherwise it doesn't work.The problem with this is, the carriage return works but it leaves the single quotes in the text.I tried adding another split join method that looks for the single quotes left and replaces them with nothing.The problem with this is, it deletes all the single quotes from the contractions.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing AddEventListeners In Child?

Feb 12, 2011

i have to make a drag and drop thingy in actionscript 3.0. Now we had another actionscript project before and then i had some extra classes but most things i put in the main class and it was all working fine. Someone told me that i put too much in my main class and that i should make more classes like a class for every object you interact with. Dont know if hes right but he acted like he was.

Now back to the problem. I made a main class connected directly to my fla in its properties. Then i made another class for the game itself, cause maybe it needs an intro and other things so i want to separate them in their own classes and start them with the main class. now in the class for the game itself i want to be able to click an object with the mouse. I was just testing with a trace. When i click the object it only traces like 1/20 clicks i make, tryed alot of things, when i put the same code in the main class with stage.addEvent blabla it will respond every time but as soon as i try to put in the class for my game it only responds like 1/20 times i click. Wth?

Now i can put all my code in the main class again and make another 1000 line code with a couple of other small classes but this time i want to do it right so what am i doing wrong? Heres some code too

This is the main class dressUp is the game class, it doesnt do much just define the game class and change the mouse pointer.

EDIT: We work in a project group so another reason i want to make alot classes is so we can work on different classes separately. But i promised to have this done this weekend and there not so good in actionscript either.

ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Created Vs Static Movieclips?

Feb 4, 2009

Movieclips created on the stage and instanced behave differently from dynamic movieclips in that they are destroyed when you go to the next frame (I have a stop on every frame). If I create that same movieclip dynamically then it will stay on the stage forever regardless if I go to the next frame or not. I understand that it needs to be removed from the display list but I can't find any event that is fired on a next frame basis. I could use onEnterFrame but at 30 fps, that's alot of overhead. The idea is to have all the code contained in my .as file.

If objects are created dynamically in AS3, using code like this:

txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}

then later, i want to changet the text of one of the TextFields, how can I do that? The only instance listed in the variables is a single instance of "txtFld" and it is the last one that is created. How can I access the others?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Movieclips

Nov 21, 2008

I have an application that I am adding movieclips to a container movieclip through a for loop and repeatedly calling myClip.addChild(theNewClip). Now I have a dozen clips in my container and it seems like the only way to access the clip is to use the getChildByName() method and cast it into a temporary clip so I can get at the its properties.

Is this the best and/or only way to do this? Does the old AS2 myContainer["theName"].property not work with dynamically created movieclips? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Created Text Fields?

Mar 11, 2010

I am trying to make a quiz application. I want to use classes in this project (which I am still learning how to use). I found a sample posted by a user here that I can clearly understand. The issue I am having is that actaul text for the questions is very long. So when I apply my questions it just runs the text off of the stage. How can I have the text field drop to another line so that it doenst go off of the stage? Here is the code that creates the text field (it is on an AS file).
 
public function QuizQuestion(theQuestion:String, theAnswer:int, ...answers) {            //store the supplied arguments in the private variables:            question = theQuestion;            theCorrectAnswer = theAnswer;            choices = answers;            //create and position the textfield (question):            questionField = new TextField();        

[code]....

I am guessing I need to add something where the text field is created that talks about the width of the text field and allow it to be multiline, I am just not sure how to word it in AS3...

AS2 :: Passing Variables From A Dynamically Created Textinput?

Feb 16, 2011

I have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):
 
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = false;
my_fmt.font = "Arial";

[Code]....
 
This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage).
