ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Multiple Copies Of A Variable In A Loop?
Mar 11, 2009
I wished to create multiple copies of a variable in a loop.such as:
var pots:String = thisString [i]
and then i wish to reference one of these loop generated variables.Now how would you set it up so you could have all those variables of "pots" had their own names so one could reference say: "pots1" "pots2" or "pots17" ? This kind of situation would bee seen in a situation where I would be bringing in many array values and assigning certain parts of them to the variables. such as array[i][name]

I've used the New Library panel to copy symbols from one Flash document to another & subsequently closed the extra Library panel. I did this twice for on different occasions.
My Library panel is usually docked & collapsed so ocassionally I use Crtl-L to expand it. Now, when I do that, the previous 2 extra Library panels also appear & I have 3 Library panels on the screen - 1 docked & 2 extra floating ones! How do I get rid of the other 2 for good?

I load images into my .xfl project and use them amond movie clips - everything is ok at beginning. But after a some moment (which is absolutely undefined) Flash Professional CS5 starts duplicating all of them at saving and new copies names with "Copy 1", "Copy 2" and so one, or just with blank string. Because Flash duplicates them EACH saving, so after a several savings Flash refuse to save at all (shows "Too big project ..." error).

I made a Post-It note movie clip that is draggable. I want to create a whole pad of notes, or at least simulate this. I thought the best way to do this would be to add another Post-It whenever the startDrag() is triggered.
I first tried creating the Post-It with symbols but didn't think I could dynamically create new ones this way. I then created a class and added it to the stage[code]...

I have multiple images in flash, all on the same frame. What actionscript do I need to use to be able to print just the one image and not everything on the screen? Also, is there a way to make multiple copies of the same image?[code]

I currently have one movieclip in my library, but 4 instances of it on the stage. I was wondering what the best way to animate them so they can do things 'separately'- I'm not sure if Actionscript is the answer, but it's worth a try. I just don't want all of them to move when I move one of them (when I try to animate them inside their movieclip).Possible solutions: I already have one that isn't very... resource friendly. For every individual instance I can turn it into it's own Movieclip, so it isn't affected by the rest... but if I were to have many, many movieclips on the stage, that would quickly overflow my library. If that's the only way fine, but I'm sure there's a work around.

It's easy to share bitmap data between multiple Images: // target and source are instances of the mx.controls.Image class var content_copy:Bitmap = new Bitmap((source.content as Bitmap).bitmapData);target.load(content_copy);
But how to do the same thing for movie clips with vector grapics? The only way I've found is to load movie clip using byte data of another movie clip as the source.
target.load(source.content.loaderInfo.bytes); But it actually duplicates the content.

I want to make multiple empty MCs and fill each one with a thumbnail for a menu. I want to do this using for loops so I can control as many as I need.
What's the most efficient way of doing this?
I'm used to creating empty MCs in AS2, but I'm not familiar with the new display object way of handling this method.
So far I have this:
Code:
for (i=0; i<numImages; i++) {
thmb.push(gallery.features.image[i].@thmb.toString());
var imageLoader:Loader;

I put together this code that builds a container that contains boxes(squares) in an ordered way. Problem is when I rotate the container, the boxes don't stay in their order. (something to do with swapping depths I think) . In fact, they look a bit confusing. Just create a movieClip 24 x 24 and Name it Box. Create another movieClip and name this one Container. Save them in your library. Then just copy this code and compile. You know the routine.

i'm having a problem with a for loop. The problem is that it doesn't create multiple movieclips with an unique instance, i think it copies over itself.
for( var i = 1, x = -20; i < 4; i++){
if(this['plaatje' +i] != undefined){
_root.again.createEmptyMovieClip("image", i);

I'm attempting to create a graphical representation of the microphone activity in flash for a conference.
I got a movieclip called eqNotch that's just a rectangle and its linkage name is EqNotch.I also have a movieclip where I am writing my as3 on the first frame, its called dynamicBar and linkage name is DynamicBar.
I've successfully written the code for the dynamicBar to create one column of eqNotches and the number of rows is dependent on mic activity.[code]...

I need to make a loop that can create (and use) incremented variable names. Basically I need to dynamically create a certain number of sprites and datagrids then I need to add these dynamically created datagrids and sprites to the stage. So the static code (which works, but I think is NOT the right way to go) would look something like this (I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but this should give you the right idea):

But I can't figure out the syntax and how to make it work... This MUST be possible! My knowledge is pretty thin in actionscript,

How do I create a variable which can hold multiple movie clips? I have 4 movie clips called: char, ceil, plat, and wall. I want to put them into one variable called gameLevel. Something like: var gameLevel: char, ceil, plat, wall; <<but this doesn't work. So instead of calling each of the movie clips separately I can just use gameLevel (if I want to, for example, move all the objects to the left 5 pixels.)

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....
