If you had a set of buttons called: bt1, bt2, bt3 etc all the way to "bt11" and you wanted to assign the same eventlistener to all of them how would you go about this? ie:
bt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShutters);
bt2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShutters);
bt2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShutters);
etc (too repetitive)

I have been trying to figure out this by myself for a while and needless to say, I have been completely unsuccessful. I have various a loop that creates multiple movie clips called: movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4... (you get the idea...) i want to assign roll over,roll out, press functions to all of theme.g. when you press on one movie, it highlights it.but I am trying to find a summarized way over writing each one out:
movie1.onRollOver=function(){
something happens
}
someonne once told me to use chartAt to do this, to reference different mcs, but I cant figure out how to do it.
I've got as far as adding multiple buttons to the stage with AS3 and giving them unique instance names, but now I have a problem. There is no limit on the amount of buttons that could be present, there could be one or one hundred so I can't hard code.
How would I go about creating event listeners for each button? I tried pushing each instance name into an array then looping through but that gave me an error about how the buttons didn't exist, so it can't listen.
Working on a photography website and I've hit a speed bump. I have 5 separate movie clips for each page.on one section the Portfolio section, I have four buttons one for different areas of the Portfolio.The buttons are located within the movie clip.There's an eventlistener to direct to the appropriate frame within the portfolio movie clip. The problem is when I click on the portfolio button to go back to the main portfolio frame it does nothing. I get a trace statement but no action. I'm assuming that since the movie clip is already loaded its just staying at the same frame.how to get back to frame one of the portfolio movie clip.Here's the code:
frame 1, scene1
ActionScript Code:
//handle events for buttons
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

I tried the drag and drop demo at [URL]. It works well allowing me to drag an item and have it register when it is dropped on the correct target. I want to modify it so that I can drag an item to multiple locations... not just one. My desired application is the ability to drag pendents or charms onto a bracelet or chain and have them "snap" to the chain. With the above demo, I can see how 90% of it would work, but I cannot figure out how to have multiple targets named the same. The bulk of the code is attached.
The line I believe needs to changed is this one:
if (event.target.dropTarget != null &&
event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
I need this part :event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget
to read something to the affect of:
if item being dropped is over object A OR object B OR object
C OR object D than ... rest of my code
I have 4 mc on my stage which i want to tween to a specific size (400x400) on MOUSE_OVER. I would like to assign each mc the same function to achieve this. I have half achieved this with the code below, however when I MOUSE_OVER one of the mc, the stage also resizes. I would like to avoid using XML if possible.
This is my code.
Select allmc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thumbOver);
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thumbOut);
mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thumbOver);
mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thumbOut);
mc3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thumbOver);
mc3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thumbOut);

For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;

I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.
Is there a simple shorthand for assigning the same value to multiple movieclips? For example, I have 25 MCs with names "img1", "img2" etc. and I want their _alpha value to be zero.
Is there a for loop or something I can use so I don't have to type "img1._alpha = 0;" "img2._alpha = 0; etc.
I have a fla/swf file, with 6 buttons on it all with their own hover effects and such, however they're all on the same layer. So assigning a link to each one through actionscript is confusing as I've only done it if they were on different layers.

I have some basic knowledge in PHP and am learning XML, and basically have decided to prepare my site for the future by switching to strict XHTML / php (plus it needs to be updated anyway). It is a hybrid site with HTML and Flash elements, and each HTML (soon to be .php) page has a single .swf as the nav bar. Is there a way to externally assign hyperlinks to the nav buttons within this .swf? I've done basic external assigns (with .txt files into dynamic text boxes), but this seems a bit trickier. Basically, I want to be able to update the .swf without opening flash, changing the links, and then publishing a new .swf.

im new to flash actionscript and i am trying to create a very simple game. in this game i have about 50 walls that i want to stop the player if they collide with it. i cant figure out how to assign the same code to multiple instants and im still fuzzy on alot of the terms flash programmers use but im learning.on an unrelated note i am also having the player push the ball and when i add a collision.block to the ball when it hits the wall it goes right through it because of the ball repositioning itself based on the players location.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to remove an eventlisnter on a button so when the button is pressed the animation completes before you can press the button again. But based on my code below you can push the button as many times as you like:
var LeftButt:MovieClip = new left_button();
var RightButt:MovieClip = new right_button();
var topClip:Sprite = new Sprite();

My app has buttons that users press to insert predefined strings into a textarea. I'm now making it load in the button values dynamically so users can define their own buttons.I'm using a buttons.txt which contains a different label on each line (button1, button2,button3 etc). I loop through the text file and add the buttons to a group. This all works, but now the hard part. How can I assign an eventlistener to these buttons so that they output text to the screen?
protected function view1_viewActivateHandler(event:ViewNavigatorEvent):void
{
var path:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("buttons.txt");

I'm pretty new to AS3 and am getting my feet wet as fast as I can. Currently I have a fairly simple thing I'm trying wherein I will have a button_mc that on ROLL_OVER, it triggers a function that will make another MC move. That part I can do- my question though is how can I have multiple button/movieclip "sets" that are able to call the same function? As an example, I'd have "button1_mc" trigger "shape1_mc", "button2_mc" trigger "shape2_mc", and so on. I want to avoid having to have separate sets of functions for each button/movieclip pair. I hope that makes sense.
Here's where I'm currently at with the first eventListener and corresponding function. You can see how in the function I have a specific MC (shape1_mc) named, which of course I'm trying to avoid, as I will likely have 5-10 similar buton/mc pairs like below. Is there a way to call the movieclip (shape1_mc) in the event handler itself without having to name it in the function?

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?
