AS3 :: IDE - Dynamically Naming Movieclips?
Sep 23, 2009Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Frame Variables?
Jul 29, 2007I created a slot machine and it works properly but i need it to do more. Currently when you spin the Reel, if you get any 4 of a kind its a jackpot. I need it so if you hit 4 "7's" lets say its different than hitting 4 "Bar's".On the main reel I have 4 frames with movie clips, each having a different (chip) and the end. I have set the random() function on them so it is completely random on how they hit. So my question is...how do I set a variable name for the frames so I know that frame 1 is a "bar", frame 2 is a "7", frame 3 is a "cherry" and so on. That way when I write the "if" statements, I can compare them so a "7" is better than a "bar".

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Naming/referring To Movieclips?
Feb 15, 2010I am going to have a button that when you click on it it creates a movieclip and adds a certain child to it (In this case, its linkage is set as "Rifle"). Each time you click on the button I need to give the new movieclip a different instance name then the last, such as "Riflemen1", "RifleMen2" etc.. I will need to be able to refer to each movieclip seperatly in my code, such as for example:
You spawn three Riflemen.. You click on one of them, which selects it, you then click on an "Attack" button which makes only him start firing (in my case gotoAndStop(2)), you then decide you want the third one to attack and so forth..

Dec 31, 2008I'm working on a project that requires me to load variables into my movie dynamically.I've gotten to the point where I get the variables loaded into flash. But then I cannot use them dynamically once inside flash. I understand code pretty well But I am relatively new to actionscript. The variables have to be used dynamically because I'll never know how many variables there will be. Could be 1 could be zero, could even be 1000.So say my loaded variable var.txt had this line in it.
Code:
File1=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile.rar&File2=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile1.rar&File3=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile10.rar&File4=Pages/PageDat

AS2 :: Passing Variables From A Dynamically Created Textinput?
Feb 16, 2011I have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = false;
my_fmt.font = "Arial";
[Code]....
This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage).
Flex :: Dynamically Creating Variables In Actionscript 3.0?
Mar 2, 2010i'm loading several sound files, and want to error check each load. however, instead programming each one with their own complete/error functions, i would like them to all use the same complete/error handler functions.
a successfully loaded sound should create a new sound channel variable, while an unsuccessfully loaded sound will produce a simple trace with the name of the sound that failed to load. however, in order to do this, i need to dynamically create variables, which i haven't yet figured out how to do.
here's my code for my complete and error functions:
function soundLoadedOK(e:Event):void
{
//EX: Sound named "explosion" will create Sound Channel named "explosionChannel"
var String(e.currentTarget.name + "Channel"):SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Changing, Included Variables?
Aug 12, 2011My problem is the following:I've been working with Flash CS4, and have written a script which creates a dynamic menu based on an array variable. The array variable needs to be located in a separate .as file so that I can use a bash script to create the array on the fly, based on files found in a specific folder. It's taken me weeks of writing both the bash and actionscript to make everything work smoothly. Everything works except for one small thing: when I update the file containing the array, the menu in the .swf fails to update with it. In order to update the menu, I'm forced to re-publish from within Flash itself.
Previously I had used the "include" function to place the array within my script, but I then tried bringing it in with a package as a global variable. Neither method worked. It seems that the file is included during the publishing (that's probably common knowledge). So I'm wondering if there's a way to include the array, or build the array, in such a way that will allow the .swf to update with a simple refresh of the web page.
ActionScript Code:
Package containing array:
