I have a small problem with dynamic targeting inside a loop. Shortly, I have some buttons which I add listeners to in a loop. loop works fine. I got everything to work, but the second line in it gives this error : TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@d4abe81 to Function.[code]Can anyone help me with the correct syntax for the second line ?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to run a for loop that will target MCs that are embedded in a parent mc... I keep running into issues with the targeting however when I try this:
for(var i:int = 0; i<5; i++){
parentClip_mc["m"+(i+1)+"_mc"].visible = false;
}
This dosnt seem to cut it. How should I go about this? This is the error that I get: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
i have a for loop and i want to do things with it:
for(i;i<=2;i++){
if(box+i._width>20){
var box_width:Tween = new Tween(box+i, "_width", Elastic.easeOut, 750, 20, 3, true);

I had the following script which worked fine for my buttons which were sitting on the stage and are called 'btn1', 'btn2', etc... However I wanted to animate all the buttons so have put them all into a movie clip called buttons, but now my script doesn't work, I have tried changing all the this targets to _root.buttons.this,
Code:
numOfBtn = 5;
stop();

I know this is simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. I am adding a series words to the stage and want each one to move with an ENTER_FRAME listener. The way I have it now only targets the last one added. How do i have it apply to each child when it's added?

The result I traced keep on coming back as the last in the list.It seems like the xmlList is not assign to different MC.
ActionScript Code:
private function levelsBG():void {
for (var i:Number=0; i<myXML.children().length(); i++) {
[code]......
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=15; i++) {
_root["window_"+i].onRelease = function() {
_global.myvariable = window[i].name ; //doesnt work
}
}
How can i get name of clicked button? In as3 is evt.target.name action, but in as2?
I can't seem to target the mc's that I have pre-loaded externally. The problem is that mcs like 'screen_roadmap' play at the beginning of the compiled movie, and not when I make them visible by pressing on the button. I currently have a stop(); command on frame one, so I would like the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(2); only when I press the button. I have tried things like : this["screen_roadmap"].gotoAndPlay(2);. I used this code from an actionscript book, but it makes no mention of targeting the mcs.
ActionScript Code:
menu.roadmap.btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoScreen("roadmap");

Ive been talking about this in another thread, but I guess its a better idea to start a new thread to ask this question: How can I target a named instance of a dynamic text field that is inside a button, which is inside a movie clip, which is on the root timeline, from a frame in the root timeline?
I tried _root.movieclipname.buttonname.txtfieldname but that doesnt work...and to make issues a little more complicated, its not a static movie clip, but a duplicate that needs to be targeted every iteration of a 'for' loop.
I thought it would be something like -
_root.movieclipname[i].buttonname.txtfieldname
But thats not working...How can I target that textfield?

I'm trying to target a dynamic text box for a slideshow that is located in an attached movieclip.This is the array:var slideShow = ["slide1", "slide2", "slide3", "slide4"]; Each slide is a movie clip that is loaded with attachMovie(). These movies each have a dynamic textbox named "slideDescription". How would I be able to target that text box and get it to change the desciption each time I move to the next slide in the array?

I'm loading a variable from a .txt file into flash (per client request).The variable is as follows &ClientNumberOf=4 so the variable = 4, this works on trace, happy, joy When I try and add the variable to my for loop..[code]I've tried a slew of different options...(for example)var newVariable: Number = ClientNumberOf; Nothing works, again, trace works, but script fails to work when I try and dynamically set the loop?!
View 1 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is access the data of several movies clips, that are inside of several other movie clips: MC1.insideMC._visible=false (which works, but isn't dynamic) but dynamically with a FOR loop. I've tried: For(bullet=1; bullet<5; bullet++){ "MC"+bullet.insideMC1._visible=false (this does not work) } Does anyone know the dot notation or another way to do this?
View 13 RepliesWhy cant i do this in actionscript 3

Is there another way to achieve the same results?
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

Here's some kind of weird pseudo code to explain what I want to do:

I'm loading 8 thumbnails via XML, placing in a sprite, and spacing them out with a helper grid class. This part works. What does not work is when I try to assign a mask to each of these (using a simpleRectangle class I made) I appear to only be assigning a mask to the last image. Am I doing something wrong with 'imageLoader.mask = _mask;' ?
My ultimate endeavor here is to click the thumbnail and animate the mask to reveal the entire thumb.I nested the showPictures function so it could have a reference to the masks, which is not optimal.

public class MiniGallery extends Sprite
{
//create($columns:int, $rows:int, $xSpacing:int, $ySpacing:int, $xPadding:int, $yPadding:int)

How can I load sounds using a loop? As there are around 20 sound files named something like s1.mp3, s2.mp3......sn.mp3
We can load sounds and create dynamic sound object in AS2 something like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(n=1;n<=20;n++){
_root["s"+n]=new Sound();
_root["s"+n].loadSound("s"+n+".mp3");
}
Is there anyway in AS3 to create dynamic sound objects?
