ActionScript 3.0 :: Call A Button Inside A MovieClip, With Names Stored In Arrays

Mar 10, 2012

I have an Arrays that contains the names of MovieClips:

Code:
var MyMCs:Array = ["A","B","C","D","E"];

The actual MovieClips names are "MC_A", "MC_B", etc..., I use this method so I reuse the same Array for multiple tasks, I simply add what ever it's needed to the name to match the task at hand. On this case I add "MC_".

Then I have multiple Arrays, with the same names of the values of MyMCs. The values of each these Arrays are the names of buttons that are inside the movieclips of MyMCs:

Code:
var A:Array = ["RR","TT"];
var B:Array = ["YY","UU"];
etc...

I could add a listener to a button this way:

Code:
MC_A.YY.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, DoSomething)

My problem is that i want it to be done dynamically, using the Arrays values in a loop to add Listeners to the all buttons. The loop system is not a problem for me... my real problem is in the dynamic attribution itself.
Here is what I have:

Code:
//'i' and 'j' have previously been created
for(i=0; i<MyMCs.length; i++){
for(j=0; j<this[MyMCs[i]].length; j++){

[Code]....

I know that this is correct since I tried them separately and I can trace the proper values.

I know that my problem is in the "this" since I get an error message stating:
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.

I suppose it should state something else... I tryed with "root", "parent", "child", "MovieClip"... with no luck...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get A Variable That Has A Movieclip's Name Stored Inside It?

Aug 13, 2010

I have a simple question about Variables in AS2, i have a feeling the solution is pretty simple. What i exactly need is a variable that has a movieclip's name stored inside it. I created a variable called cardType and stored the moviecip's name inside it. Now when i declare the Tween you see below and assign it to the variable cardType (which should be replaced with the movieclip's name), it does not work.

PHP Code:

var CardType;
CardType = LondonQuestions_mc.redCard_mc;
new Tween(cardType, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 2.5, true);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Inside MovieClip To Call Function In Main Timeline

Oct 4, 2010

I'm having a bit of a hard time with calling a function in the main timeline through a button in a movieclip. The mc is in the main timeline and in it I added a button with this.removeMovieClip(); and so far it works, but when I try to call a function from the main timeline it just doesn't seem to work.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Dynamic Building Arrays With MovieClip Names?

Apr 30, 2009

In the AS2 days you could create an array and add a bunch of Mc names to it like so

Code: Select allarray("clipA","clipB","clipC", etc..)

Then you could use this array to reference clips dynamicly or on stage to do stuff.I was trying to do the same with AS3 but came across a problem I've not found an answer to yet. I created the following code:

Code: Select allvar letterArray:Array=new Array("A","B");
var buttonArray:Array = new Array();
//

[code]....

Now with the line:

Code: Select allvar currentButton:MovieClip = buttonArray[i];

I get: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@369e8581 to flash.display.MovieClip.but if I remove that line, it works. My problem is that I need to make it a "var" of type movieclip before I can assign a listener to it. Why can't I build an array of movieclip names using:

Code: Select allbuttonArray.push(["button"+letterArray[i]]);

I have seen arrays in the past that contain:

Code: Select allarray(mc1,mc2,cm3, etc...)

but notice that it's just using the name of the clip and not array("mc1","mc2","mc3", etc..)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Call Dynamic MovieClip Names?

Oct 17, 2011

I'm looking to get some information on something I've been wondering about for a while now. Is it possible to call a dynamic movieclip? Here's an example: I have 30 movieclips all named sequentially: A001, A002, A003, etc. I want to make a listener to dynamically know if I've clicked any one of the 30, but also know which of the 30 I've clicked.

You know, to avoid writing 30 variations of a listener. (not to mention that I have 5 categories to do this for, meaning there are 150 in total) Perhaps what I would need out of it would be the number value, as well. To perhaps place that in a variable after it has been recognized, so I can use it in the function.

Flash :: Instance Names Inside Button?

I've created a button in Flash, and inside that I have a TextField and a MovieClip, both with instance names set. They cover all 4 frames of the button, with no keyframes.I found I couldn't access the objects using the instance names I'd set, so I used this piece of code to see what's going on:

var obj:DisplayObject = this.m_graphics.btnChange.upState;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Call A Function That Is Inside Another Movieclip?

Mar 19, 2005

how do you call a function that is inside another movieclip?Do global functions have to be declared on the root? I'm trying to do a very simple thing, take the grid tutorial and apply it as a mask to an image. Everything works ok, now I would like to call the function that makes the grid after the pic has loaded.

So I have on the root:

mc_picholder
mc_boxholder <---This mc contains the function that makes little boxes

I can assign the mc_boxholder as a mask to the mc_picholder and this works fine. Now say I have a function in mc_boxholder called makeboxes(), and I want to call it from the root once a pic has finished loading into mc_picholder.All the functions to make the boxes are inside the mc_boxholder. I've tried declaring makeboxes as global, and calling it from the root, doesn't work.I've tried tried writing from root: mx_boxholder.makeboxes(), doesn't work either.....
