ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Multiple Items?
Jun 3, 2010
I have entered the following code and both items do import, but i cant control the label of the second library item called "Cool"After doing some digging, i think i found out the class name of the second object was called "Cool" and the base class was "import flash.display.SimpleButton;" so it looked like i had to import that class at the top like i did! But still not working. and still no joy!I think i need to add in "public class Cool extends SimpleButton" so it inherits the SimpleButton class after the first public class and then create a new function called "public function Cool() " and then add the function body but when i go to do that it all goes wrong. Am i on the right track or am i missing a trick!!
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have a for loop wich passes 11 times:
private var currentItem:uint;
for(var i:uint = 0;i<10;i+){
addChild(arr[currentItem]);
[Code]....
So the problem is that the array only contains 6 items. So when it comes to the 6th item the currentItem resets and the next 4 items that are getting added are the 4 first from the array again. Now when i trace the items, the last 4 trace "null". how can i add items from the array multiple times without losing its properties etc?

I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code:
BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();[code].......

I am trying to learn how to add sub menu items to my main menu which is being generated using XML. I have been able to add the top level menu items but I am not sure how to integrate the sub menu items. a link to my development site [URL] In my code I have a variable showInMenu this value is true if it is a top level menu item and false if it is a sub menu item. If I list out the XML menu items they look like this where About Us is a top level menu item and Our Mission is a sub menu item of About Us. how to set up the sub menu items. I attached the fla with xml file.

I've got a combo box adding items from an array. The labels are working just fine, but adding the data with a variable won't work for me. If I put in an actual number, I get that result, but trying to add it with a variable I always get 1 as a result. classData only ever = 1. I can access the array. I know it must be in the syntax.[code]

The buttons search and find the movie clip in the array flawlessly, but I'm having trouble adding a transition to every movie clip as it is appears. Most tutorials on transitions require a specific instance name, but I want ALL instances to have a transition. Heard the .getChildAt() method is the way to go but cannot find solid guidance on this. Here is the basic code:
Quote:
var myDishArray = [chicken, steak, tuna, pasta, iceCream];
for each (var btn in myDishArray) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDishBtnClick);
[code]....
how do I properly use the transition manager or add a transition code?

1. An XML list, which works just fine, retrieves between 3 and 15 strings (or menu names). These menu names are put into an array called, "aGalleryMenuID".
2. I want to be able to create a MovieClip and TextField dynamically for each string and place them on the stage dynamically. So if there are only 5, it will make five. 3 will only make 3. The long way of doing this is to create 15 MovieClips and 15 TextFields and use a loop to use addChild. This is okay, but what if later it is decided there needs to be 30 menu items. I want to avoid that and make this future proofed.
for loop that loops through the # of array items in aGalleryMenuID
set the MovieClip's name to a unique identifier
set the TextField's name to a unique identifier

I am new to Flex. What I am looking for here is adding a click handler on all the items created by a SkinnableDataContainer. I tried several things that didn't work, and I have no idea what is the right way to do it.
<s:SkinnableDataContainer id="teamList" itemRenderer="TeamSummaryRenderer">
<s:dataProvider><s:ArrayList>
<fx:Object teamName="A super team 1"/>
<fx:Object teamName="A super team 2"/>
<fx:Object teamName="A super team 3"/>
</s:ArrayList></s:dataProvider>
</s:SkinnableDataContainer>
Furthermore, I don't want to declare the handler in my custom TeamSummaryRenderer component. I would prefer that the handler code stays at application level.

I want to iterate over an ArrayCollection in Flex while there can be items added and removed.
Since i didn't find a way to use a "classic" Iterator like in Java, which would do the job. I tried the Cursor. But it doesn't really work the way i want it to be ;) So how do I do it nicely ?
var cursor:IViewCursor = workingStack.createCursor();
while (!cursor.afterLast)

What I want to do is be able to click a button that adds an Item to the stage and then you are able to drag the item around on the stage. I know how to do these things separately as in if the item is already on the stage I know how to add the code to drag it and I know how to create a button that brings a library item on the stage. How would I combine the two?

I'm trying to make a flash version of those refrigerator magnet poetry kits. As such I have about 150-180 little MCs each with a different word. They are all named sequentially, so theoretically I could just make some array counter or something to stick the handlers on right?

I have a DataGrid set up and have the XML data nice and cozy inside of it, but I have a bit of a snag. The data I'm importing comes from a few separate files but the DataGrid ends up displaying all of them, so the rows are a bit of a jumble initially. Is there a way to tell the DataGrid, AFTER it has all of it's data, to sort itself out alphabetically based on it's first column?

My company recently contracted an outside web developer to create our new website. I have some experience with Flash, but not beyond basic timeline controls. I've been given the task to update the flash element that has a horizontal carousel. Inside, there's three series, each with 6 buttons. The controls are a left and right arrow button on either side. I added a new button into the series and moved each of the series so they no longer ovrlapped.The carousel should just rotate through continuously, but it returns to the start after 6 clicks. Please let me know if there is any other materials I need to provide. Did adding in another button change the positions in the code? If so, what do I need to do to fix it?

I am working on a new site, and in the site items from the library are brought on to and taken off the main stage through a handful of functions in the document class. I also have a main menu class that is responsible for building and adding menu items. The way it is built currently, these menu items must somehow reach into the document class and call the functions I created earlier, but I am unsure how to do this. Most things I find on how to call a parents method end with the person saying if it built correctly you shouldn't be doing this at all.

Code:
function AddYCoins():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var Ycoin:YCoin = new YCoin();
[Code]...
This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!

I currently have a movie where I have an icon (image) and a block of text as a clickable button (locked together) the button takes you to a specific urlActionScript
Code:
on(release){
geturl("[URL]");
}
What I need to do is replace the geturl with some script that will add an alert box with 2 options. I would like the box to have a title something like "Where would you like to go from here?" then two text links "Members Excel" (which will take them to members-excel-forum) and "Newsgroup Excel" (which will take them to newsgroup-excel-forum), like I said I have many more to add but once I have the code and a "How to" I should be able to adapt it.I will have to do this for each of the items (I'll have to unlock them first) there are 24 items in my movie (it looks like 12 as there is an icon and text locked together for each category) so I need to do this for 16 of them, I say Alert box as this won't be bothered by a pop up blocker.

I have a horizontally scrolling flying game involving a character and diferent types of food moving across the screen from right to left which the character has to collect ("hit"). I have the hitTestObject working for 2 different food movieclips with one item belonging to a healthyList, and the other to a junkList.
how to add more items (movieclips) to each of the lists, so that I have for example 6 items in the healthyList and 4 items in the junkList.
Below is the code in my Engine.as file. The red highlighted text is the code that creates the problem. I thought that I just needed to add this line in order to add another item to the "healthyList" of food types, but I obviously have it in the wrong place or have the wrong code completely.

import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm not sure whether this is right place to put this. I've done a search but nothing is helping unfortunately and I was hoping someone on here had done something like this.I am selecting an amount of an item from a drop down list in flash and assigning it to a global value. I then want to put that global value as the number of items in the code.My code is:
PHP Code:
panel.dropdownpink.addtocart.onRelease = function()

I have a DisplayObject at the bottom, that's clickable and has a hover state, underneath a TextField. The big problem is, I need all MouseEvents to go to *both* of them, not just the TextField, not just the DisplayObject. Reason being is I have text that require tooltips to be attached to the mouse which are on top of those DisplayObjects underneath.
package
{
import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
You can see the affect of the above example here, http:[url].... Now, what I want to force happen is when you mouse over any of the text area, the text to pick up that event, as well as any other mouse event,as well as the DisplayObject underneath. To put it one way, I want to have my cake, and eat it too. I want the text to act the way it is in this example, but also to have it work as if I had mouseEnabled equal to false on the text.

If that's my only option here... I'll begrudgingly go that way again, but I'd love to find a better solution and really do think there must be, insofar as I could just clone the event down the line to the next child at that point.
