How to dynamically create buttons and assign them names to use later on in the code.? For example:
ActionScript Code:
If(a==3) {
create three buttons:

And then assign some functions for these buttons - like:
ActionScript Code:

I made a basic text editor that lets users insert predefined strings into the document with button clicks. What I need to do now is let the user define their own buttons and string values. For example I have a button that inserts "Hello" into the text. The user may want to create a button that adds "Goodbye".To accomplish this I figured I would create a .txt file called buttons.txt or something. i would readutfbytee, loop through it to create the buttons. problem is I know what I want to do but not sure where to start
View 2 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is dynamically assign instance names to movie clips placed on the stage based on their position on the stage. Say if one had an _x value of 1, i would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip1" and if another had the _x value of 599, I would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip599". Logically, I would think it would work like this (placed on each individual movie clip):

I am amateur in flex, and started my final year project in flex to learn it, I am stuck in place where I have to create rows of drop down lists when the user pressed add more, E.g.: like the ones in mail attachments. I think I have found a way to generate rows, I am not even sure whether it is a correct way, how I generate the rows:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="newRow">
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{cityDropdown}">
<s:DropDownList id="newbutton" creationComplete="hotelDropdown_creationCompleteHandler(event)" labelField="Name">
<s:AsyncListView list="{getAllHotelResult.lastResult}"/>
</s:DropDownList>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Now when I generate more rows the dropdownlist ids will conflict, so I want to know a way to generate ids, I think I cant even call a function in there.
i need to dynamically create arrays with variable array names.
for example, something like this:
for (var n=0 ; n < nodeContainer.length ; n++) {
nodeObj = nodeContainer[n];
var name:String = nodeObj.nodeID;

I am trying to use a for loop, to place 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. In the loop I used .name to give each movieclip a unique instance name. But when I try to reference one of those instance names in an event listener I get an error. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project using google maps. For part of it the user must enter coordinates and click a button in order to add a marker to a map. The code I have written so far allows this to be done once:
play_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, submitdata);
function submitdata(e:Event){
var marker9:Marker = new Marker(

As it is the only one marker can be added as it keeps getting replaced. I want to make it so that the variable name changes each time a marker is to be added.
I am working with a number of movieclips and I was wondering if there was an easy method using actionscript to assign them instance names instead of doing it manually for each movieclip.
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to imitate the spining preloader that fades as it rotates and I can't remember how to name each of the lines that are created with this code so I can later add the script to modifiy their independent alpha as it turns.
I don't know wether I need to create another function or what to do...
var numLines:Number = 12;
var extRadAsterisc:Number = 20;
var intRadAsterisc:Number = 10;
var centreX:Number = 110;

here is my contribution with this script you can create buttons dynamically and remove them (howmany) is the variable of the number of the buttons to create.
Code:
function makebuttons(){
// if we have buttons created at first time we remove them to recreate others ones
if(_global.createdClips.length>0){

i have an array to load images with a loop, but then i wanted to get the names of the loaded images to add listener to each one... then i remember that all display objects in ActionScript 3 have a name property... then whenever i create a Loader object i can assign a name to it... but it does not work if i try to call the object by his name and add a listener... it only works if i put a conditional with the target name, so if i want to locate any of the other loaded objects for any porpouse it is not possible to me...

how to control dynamically created clips... What I've got is a series of objects on the stage, that have been created using an external xml file. here's the code for this...
Code: Select allfor each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem) {
code for setting the clips on the stage, positioning them, etc, } But what that doesn't do is give each clip an individual instance name, so I've no way of controlling them on the stage? I presume I need to create a variable and then loop through the MenuItem xml assigning a unique instance as it goes through it?
I have a cfc that returns categories from the database. Is there a way to dynamically create buttons for all the categories?
View 1 RepliesThe movie I'm creating will have many movie clips on each frame and each will have a mouseover tooltip.I have the code set so that I can mouseover a defined movie clip and I properly get the tooltip.[code]This works, where n1 is the instanced name of the movie clip.What I want is to be able to define a variable "whichNav" that will dynamically change to a movie clip instanced name when I mouse over that movie clip, then I can replace "n1" in the above code with "whichNav" and not have to remake the above code for every movie clip in the frame.For example, I could have movie clips instanced as n1, n2, n3, n4... ect. I want a variable that will track which movie clip I have my mouse over, and input that variable into the above code to create the tool tip for each movie clip.

I'm trying to create various tween for various movies, comething like this:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;[code].....
My problem is how to call a specific tween to stop it, for example: onrollover stop the tween assigned to "barra3" mc for example. I can't use bot_alpha.stop() it doesn't work. I think it's because i have multiple "bot_alpha" tweens, i need something to dynamic create bot_alpha1; bot_alpha2; ... ...
I just learned that you can do this in actionscript 3:
someLabel
//code goes here
break someLabel;
}
I want to dynamically create multiple buttons on the stage. The number of buttons I want to load will eventually be retrieved from an XML file.
I've made some progress but I'm a little stuck. I have no problems with the XML at all. I've created a button with rollovers and given it a linkage class name and it can be added as a child to the stage.
The problem lies with creating multiple different buttons, each with unique button listeners.
I'm trying to write a class that will create my movieclip buttons dynamically, and assign some text to a dynamic text box inside it, based on the argument I pass to the method in this class. I've got a movieclip in my library with the linkage shown below - And I've got this so far in its own AS file -
Code:
package com.willgoldstone.tutorials {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Mybtn extends MovieClip{

All I want to do is instantiate a copy of this movieClip in my library and assign a value to its dynamic text field..

i am currently having a scenario where I have a Container class and wish to extend it's capabilities to TabContainer and SliderContainer. Both the component are using the same swf file.

lets say I have the following:

is there a way to assign the x or y property

so that the following is evaluated correctly
this.someobject[this.xORy] == this.someobject.x || this.someobject.y
I have a problem that should have a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out. Basically I need to assign a movieclip a number value to that it will carry with it so I can later compare it to the number value of another movieclip.
Here is the snippet of my class code. I got a loop that creates a new object and adds it to the stage and then positions it. It all works accept for when I try to assign the i value to _dragHead.HIT (HIT is not a movieclip nested within the _dragHead object by the way). I just want each newly added movieclip to carry a unique number value so how would I achieve this?
ActionScript Code:
private function createTerms():void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < termsArr.length; i++)
