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...
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...
I have a mailTo: function that needs to be added to a button that sits inside of a movieclip. I put the code inside the actionscript layer in the movieclip.[code]...
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);
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.
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(); //
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:
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.
My stage have 3 movieclip that is mc1,mc2 and mc3.each of them are now alpha=0.I have a button on stage too and when click on it, 1 of the movieclip will be change to alpha=1.
here is my script:
var mcArray:Array = [mc1,mc2,mc3]; for (var j:int = 0; j < hotSpot.length; j++) { mcArray[j].alpha=0;
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; for ( var i:int = 0; i < obj.numChildren; i++ ) {
I'm loading an xml and creating thumb buttons from it. I loop through the xml list and add thumb clips to a container clip and add the loaders as children to the thumb clips. I store the loaders and thumbs in arrays. When I need to remove the thumb clips, do I just remove the thumb clips? Or do I need to unload the loaders first, then remove the thumbs?
This is hard to explain, but basically here goes: have a "frame" movieclip that loads images. I call frame.loadImage(the URL) and everything works. So far so good.When I put "frame" inside of another clip, named "frameHolder", then call frameHolder.frame.loadImage, nothing happens.
what i want to do is, when certain button is clicked, replace a certain symbol(button) by another symbol(movieclip) stored in the library. i try things like loadmovie("","") to replace the symbol from a external jpg, but some how it does not align even both images are exact dimension. can i replace an image straight from the library?
I'm inside the movieclip called 'infopanel', and in its timeline im trying to allow it to be moved up when an identically sized box (also inside the infopanel movieclip) is rolled over. The reason I'm doing this is because the movieclip has to be summoned by code, therefore all its functions have to be inside itself.[code]...
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.....

I'm having a problem with something which i thought i knew and apparently i dont.I have 2 Movieclips in my scene. i have "whole" and inside it "but1gallery" inside "but1gallery" i have a button named "but1".

I've been seaching on how to get the key names of a flex Array as there is no such function in the Array class. Here is my answer that may be usueful to any of you.
I have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up. I have two buttons on the dialog box, but for some reason you can't click on them and when you do, the dialog box just disappears. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, so how do i get the "YES/NO" buttons to work? Oh, the buttons are not included in that Graphic
var urlRequestArray:Array = ["home.txt", "contact.txt", "about.txt"] var reqNameArray:Array = new Array("homeReq","contactReq", "aboutReq") for (var i:uint; i < buttons.length; i++){
On the main timeline I have a movie clip called clock_mc and playBtn playBtn is placed in the center of clock_mc When you press playBtn clock_mc starts playing
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClock); function playClock(event:MouseEvent):void { if (event.target == playBtn)
[Code].....
I've tryed to placed the replayBtn on the stage on the main timeline and I've set it up to replayBtn.visible = false; And then I add replayBtn.visible = true; to last AS frame of clock_mc but it wont work Even when I put the button physically to the last frame of clock_mc it will not work either.
I'm having some trouble finishing an interface i'm working on,the function indica() adds a menu listing of items (indicadores) inside a mask because its too large, and i added a scrollbar that allows to scroll through the items but now i need to add the buttons inside the movie clip indicative,i can add symbols and buttons, but i'm having trouble having them call functions inside the same class that the function indica() is running.[code]
I need to create dynamic arrays with field names loaded from a database. So, the names for the fields will be always different.Then, suppose I have the names "product" and "color" to create the following array structure dynamically:var myarray:Array = new Array;myarray[0] = ({product:undefined,color:undefined});But in other ocasion, the names may be say "brand" and "model", so the array will be:myarray[0] = ({brand:undefined,model:undefined});
I'm stucked here. I want the font type "BauhausMedium" to apply when ft_01 is clicked, font type "Haettenschweiler" to apply when ft_02 is clicked, etc... at the same time I want all" ft_01a", "ft_02a", "ft_03a" movieclips to hide except for the movieclip similar to the clicked button. E.g. if "ft_02" was clicked ft_02a to be visible =true and rest to be visible = false (ft_01a, ft_03a).
I have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2); } skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
