ActionScript 3.0 :: Create And Populate Dynamic Instances Of A Symbol From Xml Call
Jun 15, 2010
I am creating an app using CS4 flash. I have it calling an asp containing xml with from 1 to 30 records. The xml example at the bottom has 3 records.I was hoping someone would be able to tell me the code needed for my swf to check how many records there are and generate that many "pages" from a page template, with the data dynamically entered into text boxes on each generated page.I have included the method i am using to call the xml.[code]

the idea is to create a loop to that displays 16 cards face down in two rows and eight columns using either a "for" loop or "while" loop, execute 16 times once for each clip.use new to dynamically create card instances based on the Movie Clip symbol in the library.use a modulo operator to operate the x position of each clip use Math.floor to operate the y position of each clip set dynamic text value of the card clip to show appropriate card number add card to the display list if using the iteration variable ("while" loop).this is what i am using and i get one card (the stack of 16) in the bottom left hand corner with a 16 trace statements of "instance 2"
//create variable for number of columns
var numberOfColumns=8;
// requirement 1

I am trying to populate 2 dictionary instances in 2 for-loops. Then later I am trying to reference the objects that are stored in the dictionaries as the objects are dragged and dropped. I am having a problem with that part of it. I have put all of the dictionary code in red.
Code:
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
var loaded:XML = new XML();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I have a number of loader instances (loader1, loader2, loader) which I will use to load pictures. I tried to create a loop and run the command
for(var st=1,st<4,st++) {
_root.movie_clip.loader+st.load("picture.jpg");
}
The concatenation "loader+st" doesn't seem to work. Is it not supported in AS2.0?

Flex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

I'm, trying to create a duplicate symbol and then be able to drag the symbol around the screen.I have an image - once converted to a button and on the stage as paddock_btn. The other converted to paddock_mc in the library, with a linkage identifier of "paddock".I want to be able to click the button, and create a duplicate, which can be dragged and placed on the screen.Unfortunately, I don't get any output errors here.
Code:
//create a function to duplicate paddock
function dupe_paddock():Void {
i = i + 1;

var linklist = null;

linklist[1].node2 = link.node2;
but get the compile errors...

how can I tell where a symbol is used? I mean, is there a list of instances that it is used, or a list of movie clips that use it?

I have a symbol that contains all the weapons. I placed 6 of them on the stage. I have 6 variables P1Weapon1... P1Weapon2..etc. I need each one to stop on whatever variable matches them. The scripts needs to be on a external as file linked to the symbol. The variables are declared on a external as file linked to the main timeline.

For a hangman-esque game I have a flash document (using CS5, but that probably doesn't matter) that has (or rather will have) a library of 26 movie clips which will contain a letter of the alphabet each. They will be inside their own dynamic textbox, so I am able to change the font, colour background etc. at will. But is it even possible to change more than one instance of a movie clip on the stage at the same time, without getting too complex?
In other words can I put multiple A's, B's, C's etc. on the stage and get all of them to change at the same time if someone guesses a letter? I know that you can change single instances of a movie clip, but for that you need to give each instance a name and I don't know how many of each letter I would be putting on the stage, let alone how I could access them all easily. Perhaps it could be through classes or something? I haven't really covered them before though. Feel free to ask for any more details... I admit some of I stuff I write can be a bit vague...

I am making a platforming game for an assignment and I have a problem with this bit of code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class PlatformTest extends PlatformManager
[Code].....
All platforms are loaded into this class, and there are currently 2 instances within a Level movieclip. It's kept at 2 for seeing if it works purposes. This code basically gets the y values and x values for all sides which is used for collision detection purposes, loads it into an array, and the array number is incremented.
I'm not exactly sure if this method works or not, and I don't even know if every instance of the symbol is being loaded into the array, but is this code right, if not how do I fix it?

I have 10 different map symbols on the stage. I have 1 class called ContinentView which is linked as the base class to each of these 10 map symbols. All I want to do is duplicate the same map symbol and miniaturize it when the map symbol is clicked upon. Thus, 2 symbols will be on stage prior to clicking, 1 large and 1 small. The 10 different map symbols have names such as zone1, zone2, zone3...etc. all the way up to 10. I know that I can do var mini:MovieClip = new zone1() as MovieClip; but thats ONLY if I click on the 1st map symbol and vice versa. This means I would have to do an if tree or several cases in a switch statement to check the id or name of the clicked symbol (e.currentTarget.name or something)...I want to avoid that and be dynamic.

Is it possible to automatically make a text list of all symbol instances used on the stage and within all movie clips which are used on the stage? E.g. I have a symbol "my metal bar" in the Flash library and its instance on the stage is called "metal_bar_mc". So the list should contain a line with text: "metal_bar_mc".
Is there any automatic tool or maybe an AS3 library or it is possible to somehow write AS3 code to do this? And one more thing, it would also be very helpful to be able to determine, which of those instances are exported to AS3 (so the text list would contain an asterisk for those which are exported, or whatever)

Say I've got something like this:
Code:
var parcher0:_parcher0 = new _parcher0();
_parcher0 is a Symbol in the Library with the Class definition _parcher0
I want to addChild this Symbol to an MC on the stage like this:
Code:
this.pccard0.sprite_.addChild(parcher0)
All good! Except I want to do the same thing, the same way, with this.pccard1.sprite_, and several more. When I do so, parcher0 only shows up on the final, most recently assigned addChild().
Is it forbidden to add a Symbol in this way in more than one place, and if so how do I get around it without creating a raft of arbitrary duplicates?

i'm creating an application using AS3.0 and class files. in this application i have a MovieClip in the library i'm using that contains several symbols and configurable textfields and have already defined the functionality for these symbols. my question is, if i'm creating an application and through actionscript and i'm spawning instances of a symbol, do i have to define the functionality and initialize this symbol in the main application class?
specifics: i'm creating a panorama app with markers that are papervision3d planes. they use a movieClip texture that i've created and i want to configure textfields and display pictures that describe the info in the marker. i created a panoApp.as class file that configures the panorama. but i also have a marker.as class that defines the symbol's behavior. this movieclip has symbols in it it's stage that i've defined (ie: name_textfield, description_textfield, etc..) when i compile the project, the compiler errors saying that the variables/identified internal symbols are missing.

Currently I am trying to create a mini map which i can populate with the contents of an array.I can make any size grid with little to no trouble in AS3, for arguments sake I have been trying to get a 4x4 Grid populated.I can even make listeners inside the new class but i cannot figure out a way to give each new MiniMap tile a unique identifier like i would of in AS2 and then assign the current frame to play.I have looked around and tried a few tutorials with no success.I have been using this to create the tiles (inside two for loops to make the grid)
Code:
var MiniMap:MiniMapTile = new MiniMapTile();
addChild(MiniMap);
Here is how i did it in AS2 for anyone Interested.
Code:
_root.MapTile.duplicateMovieClip("Tile" add i, i);
Edit: I have done it the long way :/ made 12 separate objects. Incredibly convoluted.

I have a MS Access query ProductDetailsAll that is queried using an ASP.net web service. The service simply fills a data table with query results. How do I setup and pass parameters from Flash? I need to sear ProductDetailsAll for records having CategoryID 1 or 3 based on user selection. How is the CategoryID passed from Flash to the web service?
I have created rectangle objects in Flash. Each one must contain product name, description, price and the image from the ProductDetailsAll query. How do I pass the search phrase from Flash to the query? Do I use dynamic text boxes to house the returned values?

Product Listing Application based on dropdown select boxes and data comming from a dynamicly created XML/JSON from a PHP Webservice.
Here's the architecture: 3 Select Boxes (manufacturer, product series, model)
In the first instance selectbox 1 (manufactur) should list all manufacturers
If you select a manufacturer it should update a second selectbox with all relevated product series and update the last selectbox (model) with all relevated models to the matching manufacturer and product series.
Now there allready exsists a webservice where you can return XML Data or a JSON Object with httpd requests like[code]...

I have a Flash site I am developing that feeds in XML into various arrays and populates dynamic movie clips and text fields. I am having trouble making a for loop that works with my movieclips and text fields. I am probably only missing one step and if I can figure it out I will cut my lines of code about 10X. I have attached the fla and image files in a zip file.
