ActionScript 3.0 :: Associating A Loop Variable To Objects Created In It?
Jun 3, 2009
I create some movieclips dynamically through a loop and store them into an array. I add an event listener to all those movieclips. In the function to which I direct the listener I want to be able to get the loop variable value associated with each movieclip. For example if you click the movieclip that was created the first time the loop ran then you would get the value 0.
Hope I have explained myself well enough. Is it necessary to create a custom event class for this?

I need to be able to make a large amount of concentric circles, using only the action script. I need to be able to alter each of these concentric circles independently from each other. Currently My code is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
var circ1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(circ1);

When an instance variable is constructed by a constructor method, why do you need to refer to the current instance variable being created when its the only one being created? I understand assigning an expression to it but why name it "this." when it is the only object that the constructor is building? Does it have some hing to do with being able to naming that object in the Local Variable? In other words am I creating a generic object that will be named in another class?

I'm just trying to associate a string with a previously declared array but I'm unsure how to do so.In this instance, I'm taking the literal string from a combo box label:
thisString = comboBox.text
Where thisString is an array I've declared before,and I would like to treat it as the array I made before.

I have a comboBox that I need to associate different email addresses with the different selections (the "selections" are the labels of the comboBox - not the data... the data fields for the comboBox are blank). right now, as written it returns "email2" no matter which I pick.
Code:
if (comboBoxName.getValue() == (("selection1") || ("selection2") || ("selection3") || ("selection4") || ("selection5") || ("selection6") || ("selection7") || ("selection8"))) {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email1";
} else {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email2";
}
Also, is there an easier way to do this than by using the if statement?

How do I align a movieclip, which width and height is user-defined, inside another object (this one is static, though). Top-left alignment is easy, x=0 and y=0, but what about center, center left, bottom left, etc? Math(.round) i suppose, but how?I want an object (static) inside the movieclip (user-defined) to stay aligned to, for instance, the top right corner, similiar to the minimize, maximize and close buttons at the top right of your browser.. The height and width data is pre-defined by the user in another file.But that does probably not make any difference...

Is it even possible to associate a class file to a movieClip manually placed on the stage without setting up the class linkage in the library? If so, how?
P.S. linking in the library then placing on the stage is not a viable option. Nor is using "addChild" from the library.

I am doing is learning flash, so what I have done is followed some tutorials and created some different images with a mask, now I trying to make them loop and I can't seem to figure out how to do it. it seems at the end of the tutorial it says I must put in a stop or the last layers do not come in to view. So I am curious as to how to get passed this problem I am having. am I doing this completely wrong?

[code]My code will:
- loop through the Grid array and place each tile on the stage
- assign RedBall a random Grid coordinate and places it on the stage at that coordinate
I want to be able to click RedBall, which will create a border around the tile beneath RedBall, and create borders around the tiles above, below, to the left and to the right. BUT, I don't want to reference the tiles by their distance in pixels from RedBall or from each other; I want to reference the tiles by their coordinates in the Grid array. So I want to:
- get the coordinates of RedBall
- use those same coodinates to reference the tile at the same coordinates in the Grid array
- use the tile's coordinates to reference the tiles above/below/left/right
- apply a border to all these tiles
What's the best way to reference an instance of a tile? Should I apply a name to each instance as it's created in the loop? like myTile.name = "tile"+i+"_"+j; ? If so, how do you reference that instance later? Just tile1_3 ? Do you have to prepend it with root, or stage, or the class it was originally created in? Do you have to use getChildByName? OR, can you still reference it later without having given it a name?

I have a simple gallery site with thumbs 'gridBtns' that show and hide content pages 'projectPages'
I have a loop that duplicates an MC (projectPageHolder) (that already exists on the stage) 20 times, simple enough. I run a trace that confirms they all exist.
In the same loop I give a different set of 20 MCs (gridBtn) an onRelease function that attempts to show and hide the projectPage MCs using _alpha, again simple enough.
For some reason the first 4 MCs disappear...they do not trace or become visible, but the rest are fine.

I have the following code that should set the onPress events for movieclips
Code:
function actionSetter() {
for(var k = 0; k< 5; k++) {
trace(k); //traces correctly
_level0["EventBtn" + k].onPress = function() {
[Code]...
What should I do to correctly define onPress for my movieclips within the loop?

If objects are created dynamically in AS3, using code like this:
for (var num:Number = 0; num<10; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField();
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?

i created a "for" function who ´ll display an X number of buttons with addChild, and give a name for each using button.name = "name" + variable but later if I want to listen for the buttons using their name don´t work, already know that there is getChildByName so i tried but give me the same error who tells that there no object with that name.My question is, how i can listen for the objects created if i already have a name for each one of them? here is the code im doing.
for(var i:int = 1; i <6;i++){var miBoton:boton = new boton();var miTexto:TextField = new TextField();miBoton.x = i * miBoton.width + (i* 10);miBoton.y = 20;addChild(miBoton);miBoton.name = "boton" + i;miTexto.text = "hi";miBoton.addChild(miTexto);trace(miBoton.name);trace(miBoton.parent);}

I have an issue in flex which is causing a bit of a headache!
I am adding objects to an ArrayCollection but in doing so, another ArrayCollection is also picking up these changes even though there is no binding occurring.
I can see from the debug that the two ACs have the same address but for the life of me can't figure out why.
I have two Array Collections:
model.index.rows //The main array collection
model.index.holdRows //The array collection that imitates the above
This phantom data binding occurs only for the first iteration in the loop and for all others it will just write it the once.
The reason this is proving troublesome is that it creates duplicate entries in my datagrid.

I have a scroll pane with textboxes and buttons that are dynamically created in a function. The textboxes are a user list that can get very long.
I am having problems where once I get out of this frame I want everything to be removed. I have tried removing the scroll pane but all the dynamically created objects remain. Is there some command when you enter a new frame to clear all objects or something along that line?

Why does this work...
textForContent = ["1.xml","2.xml","3.xml","4.xml","5.xml","6.xml","7 .xml"]
counter = textForContent.length-1;
while (counter>=0){

And this does not work? All I've done is try to create 7 new XML objects using the counter...
textForContent = ["1.xml","2.xml","3.xml","4.xml","5.xml","6.xml","7 .xml"]

I am creating a loop which loadsimages to newly created loaders.After each loader completes, I'd like to pass it through another function.[code]It seems like if the above function was my complete_handler but in the place of loader_names[k] would be the completed loader.

I am creating a loop which loadsimages to newly created loaders. After each loader completes, I'd like to pass it through another function Here's my loop of loaders where loader_names is an array of my loader names and overlay_files is an array of my file URLs
for (var j:int = 0; j < loader_names.length; j++) {
loader_names[j] = new Loader();
loader_names[j].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader_names[j].load(new URLRequest(overlay_files[j]));
}
Once each image loads I want to overlay the image on a map here's a loop which does just that, only I do not know how to pass loaders into this function as they finish
function create_overlays(e:Event):void {
for (var k:int = 0; k < loader_names.length; k++) {
overlay_names[k] = new GroundOverlay(loader_names[k],
new LatLngBounds(new LatLng(46.669, -115.035), new LatLng(48.995,-112.079)));
}

Image's paths are in the xml file. I make a loop to load images to the Display List.
So if i have a loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length();i++)[code]....
after it is done i would have access only to the last imageLoader instance. How to get access to the rest of images, which were added to the Display List with the same name "imageLoader".I tried to call it with the imageLoader.name property,but surely i do something wrong, as only errors appear in the output panel.

I have a horizontal scroll bar that I need to appear to loop around continuously. I've managed to get it moving on its own since the last time I posted, however the loop is proving more difficult.
The move function is here:
Code:
public function movemouse() {
lst.onEnterFrame = function () {
var speed:Number = -1;
this._x += speed;

If you have a series of sprites created in a loop:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numItems.length(); i++) {
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
}
Which you added event listeners to, in the same loop:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numItems.length(); i++) {
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.addEventListener(....
}
How can you remove those listeners, then add them again? I need to kill and re-enable the listeners of many sprites which were created that way.
