I have created a movieclip. This movieclip will have 5 child Sprite's, which will contain an image pulled from xml. I want to create a for loop to create those 5 Sprite's, add the appropriate image into each one (i.e., img[0] into sprite[0]) and then add each sprite to the movieclip.
[Code]...
how can I do this trick and keep different vars for each mc?
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
var mc[i] = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('mc'+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());}
I've created a loop to define onPress functions for a group of movieclips. The code is here:
Code:
var select:String = "none";
var elist:Array = ["dappled", "panda", "red", "blue", "green", "gray", "fire", "earth", "water", "garden"];
[Code]....
All the mcs now have an onPress function. However, they all define the "select" variable as the last item in the array. Is this because every mc is referencing the new curs? I'm not really sure... Is there a way I can fix this so select is given the correct (unique) value every time?
I have a class called FC. I want to automatically put all instances of it on an array. I think the best way to do this would be to use a loop. I would usually use a For Loop to automatically add code to object by having flashplayer run through the display list. However, instances of my class are not added to the display list. How can I automatically apply code to them?
View 1 RepliesI built this site out in as2 and have to convert it to as3. It appears the same logic flow and coding just doesn't apply since everything has changed on an event level. The idea is to load thumbnails dynamically and upon clicking the thumbnail retrieve the loaded variable (i) in the array per the XML loop. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong in logic flow as it keeps coming up "undefined" or pulling up the last one after the whole thing's loaded. I'd copy the exact code but there's a lot of variables. So I'll post this basic structure to give an idea of what I'm doing. The bold print is where I'm stuck in terms of getting a trace.

I need to get a diff node off XML based on a variable
ActionScript Code:
var lang:String = "es";
// could be other language
[Code]....
Although I have a long experience with AS2, I am just stepping in AS3 now. As should be expected, I have bumped a few issues here and there, that really puzzles me.
One of them is the way to correctly name a variable dynamically. In AS2, as far as I know the only way to do that is with _root, like that:
Code:
for (var z=0;z<=5;z++)
_root["myvar"+z] = z;
I have used quite the same way to do that in AS3, like that:
Code:
for (var z=0;z<=5;z++)
root["myvar"+z] = z;
However, it doesnt seem to be too good, because it just allows me to create global variables. What if I want to create local vars into the function? I tried to remove the "root" and use "var" statement but ActionScript doesnt like that (it tells me that there is an identifier missing before the left bracket):
Code:
for (var z=0;z<=5;z++)
var ["myvar"+z]:Number = z; // Flash yelds when I try that!
What is the trick to do that... or simply THERE IS NOT a way to do that, but always declare dynamic vars as public??
I have defined two variables,
Example
x = 2;
y = 3;
I then want to load both of these variables so that they will look like this
(2/3)
/ is just a separator not a divide operator!
I want to load these two vars into a dynamic text field called loadText:
_root.loadText = "WHAT DO I PUT HERE";
I am a bit puzzled why this does not work when placed in my document class, but works when directly added a key frame in the Flash IDE.
ActionScript Code:
this['myVar1'] = new Object();
When within the document class I get this error when compiled,
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myVar1
I have tried the following but I still get an error.
ActionScript Code:
public static var root_Ref:Object;
root_Ref = root;
root_Ref['myVar1'] = new Object();
trying to set up some vars for outputting to dynamic text fields, can't work out what Flash is bitchin about now, getting this error...
