I found a multiple drag to a single drop example here on the forums that works wonderful for the dragging and dropping part of my project. I am now trying to add in a sort of category detection. I have 45 movieclips located on the stage. They get set up with a loop, giving them a drag/drop functionality. The movieclips belong to one of 7 categories. The user can drag only 5 movieclips to a designated area. Once the 5 have been selected, I need to then figure out which category had the most selected. What would be the best way to set this up? Here is what I'm working with so far
PHP Code:

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]...
View 1 RepliesAbout making a pallet loaded by xml and selecting a color you change another mc but the action of button it does not make:
ActionScript Code:

I'm trying to get my XML info into movieclips called "button_1" - "button_7" I have my XML ChildNodes showing up in my output window when I export my swf. I used the xml class to load into an xml instance So how do I assign the data to my movieclips.
Here's my code thus far:
stop();
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.net.URLVariables;
var numOfImages = 90;var imgNum = 0;

I'm creating an image gallery and the below code is what I have come up with to create a 'container' movieclip which dynamically adds a number of thumbnails, each as a separate movie clip, one after another vertically inside the container (which is contained inside a 'main' movieclip - note the existence of mc1 is to enable me to mask the container - this is worknig so you can disregard it).(Note the number of clips is currently hardcoded to 7)
Code:
image = new Array(); //array of movie clips to be contained
imgLink = new Array();

I hope the title of my post isn't confusing, I wasn't sure how to phrase it. [code]...

View 6 Repliesi am currently having a scenario where I have a Container class and wish to extend it's capabilities to TabContainer and SliderContainer. Both the component are using the same swf file.
Can I define a linkage for the movieclip in library using Container and change it to TabContainer dynamically through actionscript? How?

View 1 RepliesThis is a work around question:
lets say I have the following:
onstage:
this.someobject
this.someobject.x
this.someobject.y
is there a way to assign the x or y property
var xORybject;
so that the following is evaluated correctly
this.someobject[this.xORy] == this.someobject.x || this.someobject.y
I have a problem that should have a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out. Basically I need to assign a movieclip a number value to that it will carry with it so I can later compare it to the number value of another movieclip.
Here is the snippet of my class code. I got a loop that creates a new object and adds it to the stage and then positions it. It all works accept for when I try to assign the i value to _dragHead.HIT (HIT is not a movieclip nested within the _dragHead object by the way). I just want each newly added movieclip to carry a unique number value so how would I achieve this?
ActionScript Code:
private function createTerms():void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < termsArr.length; i++)

Sure this will be a simple fix, and I'm just not seeing the wood for the trees. I have a movie with a movieclip called scroller_mov. Inside it are 15 movieclips named pic1 thru pic15.
My code is on one frame, on the same level as scroller_mov. Just want to dynamically assign a click action to the pic1 - pic15 movieclips! have tried hardcoded links and dynamic, but no joy! Everything else works fine.

What I'm trying to do is dynamically assign instance names to movie clips placed on the stage based on their position on the stage. Say if one had an _x value of 1, i would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip1" and if another had the _x value of 599, I would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip599". Logically, I would think it would work like this (placed on each individual movie clip):

View 4 RepliesI am building a Flex application with ActionScript 3. Unfortunately I've hit a wall with this one...I would like to be able to apply an upSkin to my dynamically generated button like this:
//this theSkin variable is dynamic in my app, but for this example it's a simple string
var theSkin:String = "http://www.mypicturedomain.com/images/myimage.gif";
var navBtn:Button = new Button();
navBtn.id = "thumb1";
[code]....
When I attempt this, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@3dac941 to Class.
How do I skin this button with my image dynamically? A couple of things to consider:The upSkin image must be remote. It can't be local.The button must be generated dynamically (it's in a for loop).
