I'm new to Flex, but been working with AS 3.0 and Flash for many years. I'm trying to loop through a variable and based on the supplied information your the particular record, generate a canvas (and note: I'm using a Canvas as my movieclips in Flex). The new canvas (MC) will contain many other items within.
Any I'm wishing I was purely in Flash or can Flex do what I'm trying to ask it to do. I've searched high and low without find any results on creating a canvas component at runtime.

I have first an Array wich i want to use to "compose" my vars names

What I am trying to do is create an array of 12 out of an unknown number of thumbnails (there are 23 at the moment though this will change).So basically first 12 in array1, second 12 in array2 an so on until all thumbnails are in an array. So I need to create each array using a dynamic name, in this case 'pagearray' I.E pagearray1, pagearray2, pagearray3.
So here is the code I am trying though I have only managed to get the code to create the one array so far. The last one. This code is within a for loop that iterates through all the thumbnails.[code]...

How do you create new MovieClipLoader instances dynamically? Like supposing I want to create 20 new MovieClipLoader using while with names "mcl1", "mcl2", "mcl3...", how does it work? I have my code below but I keep getting syntax errors
Code:
var i:Number = 1;
while(i <= 20){
var _root["mcl" + i]:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); //error in this line
i++;
}
Is there a way to do this or should I write all 20 one by one instead?

I have a delimited string variable that I split into an array.......
What I would like to do is create an xml playlist from that array....
an example xml doc I would like to have as an end result is this:
Code:
<playlist>
<song>
<name>Some Song.mp3</name>
[Code]....
variable "myFolder" and "savetofile" are defined earlier within another function, and this function is called back to the first function which establishes the myFolder variable.....oh yea, and fileList is the delimited string variable
the second set of code produces an xml doc, but only populates with <playlist />
I need to create two combo boxes that are populated by an XML file. In the first combo box there are 13 choices and depending on what the user selects I need to populate the second combo box with the correct information. Now I can create the first combo box just fine but when I try to dynamically create the XML file name for the second combo box it doesn�t seem to work. What I am doing so far is taking the data from the first combo box and adding the quotes and .xml with this piece of code:
PHP Code:
pModCombo = '"'+event_obj.target.selectedItem.data+"Combo"+".xml"+'"';
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load(pModCombo);
If you trace that code it creates the file name just fine however the xml file will not load. If I replace that code with the normal xml code like this:
PHP Code:
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load("new.xml");
The second xml file seems to load just fine. However, if I create an if statement with all the different xml file names I will have to update the swf every time I add a new choice in the first combo box. So my question is does anyone know how to dynamically create the xml file name?
PHP Code:
pmComboXML = new XML();
pmComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pmComboXML.load("brands combo.xml");

I have got an array full of strings and I want to populate the elements into dynamically created textarea components. I have seen "this []" syntax used to dynamically create arrays, but I can not get something similar to work for text area components.
Here is the code that I am trying:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < aActivities.length; i++) {
this["taNode_" + i] = new TextArea();
this["taNode_" + i].move(20,50 + (10*i));
this["taNode_" + i].height=26;
this["taNode_" + i].text=aActivities[i];
addChild(this["taNode_" + i]);
}
I get this message when I run my movie:
"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TextArea."
I do have an instance of a textarea in my Library as I know you have to for things like data grid.

I got a problem with dynamicaly assigning the onRelease event on my buttons.
I got about 45 buttons and I don't want to create 300 lines of code just to create each of the onRelease events on them so I thought about using a loop (for) to pass through them and assigning the onRelease event. This is what I got and thought would work:

Unfortunately, it does go to "salle" (which is a frame), but the CURRENT_SECTION variable is always set to 43!
