View 3 RepliesI've used something similar to this script (AS2) to create and target MC-buttons. But I lost myself when trying to rewrite this to AS3
Original AS2 (works well):
var fruit:Array = new Array ("apple", "orange", "lemon", "banana");
var i:Number;[code]............
Is there a way a check if the mouse is "rollovering" a dynamicly created MC? the MC name must contains a same word + a digit
like _root.myMC1 , _root.myMC2 , _root.myMC3 ...
I am trying to build a menu. I have created few texts and converted into buttons, which goto some url on click. Now, I have to add "fire burning" animation to these texts on mouseover. I have a movie clip of burning fire. I want to reuse the same movie clip. Also, when the animation plays, I want text to be visible on top of flames.
Can I reuse one mc or should I create multiple clips (or instances)? How to bring the text to foreground? Guidelines and if possible,
I am dynamically creating panels based on information i get from an XML file but i'm having a problem with adding buttons to these panels. These buttoms are also created based on information taken from the XML file. The problem seems to be in the way i give the panels an Id name.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have started to create my buttons dynamically. When doing so, I would like to have a number for each, that I can use to then call other things, such as text from an array, images, etc. All my assets in this file are numbered. For example, the button that I am creating with the following for loop, will have a string from an array, and a jpg that will load when it is clicked.
This is how I am creating the buttons.
for(var i:Number = 0; i < thumbs; i++){
var ref:MovieClip = thumb_scroller.all_thumbs["thumb" + i];
ref.onRelease = function():Void {
clickAction();
}
};
For example, "thumb_scroller.all_thumbs.thumb5" will, when clicked, load a jpg, called 5.jpg and reference a string from an array, at the 5 place in that array. So, if I could somehow, send the number 5 as a parameter with the clickAction();, I could then do what I want. I had tried something like this clickAction(i); but it did now work, because i got updated until the for loop was done and so had the same value for all buttons created by it. How is this done? Is there a way to create dynamic variable that I can send as a parameter with the clickAction()?
im trying to create a series of buttons that will take the user to a link, each link different (obv.). i dont know how many buttons im going to have because im taking in an xml file and from there determining the number of buttons ill need but i need the buttons to go to their own sites. i cant get the buttons to remember where they have to go, they just get stuck on the last 1 through the loop.

View 4 RepliesI have created a class that creates a button with a bitmap underneath, and dynamic embedded text on the top. The buttons upState has a drop shadow on it, the overState, changes the Text from a dark to a light color, and the down moves the buttons image and text by a couple of pixels down and across. All this works fine, however when I click on the button, I get a very quick flicker of my text field, which was not my intention. I am a complete newbie to Action Script, and can not find any solution to this unwanted flicker. My Class is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
package Classes {
import flash.display.SimpleButton;

I have generated a series of buttons using this:
Code:
duplicateMovieClip(sign, "sign"+z, z)
while still inside the loop that is creating the buttons I can get to each sign:

I am trying to add action script 2.0 to a slider that i created using http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm that slides a movie clip that is a timeline from left to right. In the timeline are (i)More... buttons that will reveal more information. I just need to know how to integrate the timeline into the code using as2 to make it slide when the slider is dragged..
This is the action script that I have on the slider movie clip as stated in the above tutorial. But this is ALL the action script I have on EVERYTHING..... I know I need more to make it pan the timeline but I dont know how to do it.
[Code]...
I really could just use a good tutorial that shows me how to link the image that im sliding to the slider bar. When the slider is moved to the right... the image flows left.... toward the end of the timeline. When the slider is all the way right. The end of the timeline is shown. The timeline is bigger than the stage so the slider is on a line with years on it.

View 9 RepliesI have created an activity in which the user is invited to click on some buttons. There are approx 60 buttons to choose from with 7 of them being the correct ones. If the user clicks on 1 of the incorrect 53 buttons i want a hint pop up to appear to steer them in the right direction. Is there a efficient way of doing this without having to create a function and apply it to all the incorrect buttons? Perhaps an event listener? (AS2).

View 3 RepliesNow I've dynamically created some buttons using XML. They're spread around the stage and I've modified a tooltip script to give each button a tooltip on Mouse_Over. But to se the logic and make it work using AS3 is hard (for me). I want a function that accept to parameters: Tooltip text and Object to tooltip. In my code I get this error msg when initiating the function on dynamically created buttons: 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:Sprite to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip. I beleive there are more than one thing here needing a fix.

My app has buttons that users press to insert predefined strings into a textarea. I'm now making it load in the button values dynamically so users can define their own buttons.I'm using a buttons.txt which contains a different label on each line (button1, button2,button3 etc). I loop through the text file and add the buttons to a group. This all works, but now the hard part. How can I assign an eventlistener to these buttons so that they output text to the screen?
protected function view1_viewActivateHandler(event:ViewNavigatorEvent):void
{
var path:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("buttons.txt");

var2 = "blablabla"

why the buttons in the flash banner I created in Flash CS4 work when I preview it in either Flash or HTML in the Flash CS4 program, but when I go to load it into a html document in Dreamweaver CS4 and preview it in a firefox or IE browser, the banner comes up fine, but the buttons this time will not work. The buttons are displayed with there animation and sound, but the links will not work. I have tried scripts in AS2 and AS3.
View 3 Repliesi have a swf file which is a framework file done in puremvc and i m loading multiple swf files. one of the swf file loaded into the main swf file loads multiple sub swf files in it. works fine but in the loaded swf file which loads multiple swf files in it.. button dosent work at all. i m not able to click on any button. i m jst making a tree structure so can be easily understood..
container swf -> external swf -> miniSwf file and in miniSwf dynamic button are not clickable but they have all the Mouse eventListeners.
I'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.
Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.
e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}
In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.
I'm trying to embed an x number of symbols with this:
[Embed(source='graphics/backgrounds.swf', symbol='background01')]

the problem is that i have like 100 background symbols and would like to embed them without writing every single one like the code below here:
[Embed(source='graphics/backgrounds.swf', symbol='background01')]
private var Background01 : Class;
[Embed(source='graphics/backgrounds.swf', symbol='background02')]
private var Background02 : Class;

I tried using the search function, but to no avail. I'm a novice at flash, and a beginner at AS. I'm also an artist, and I'm wondering if there is any sort of script that could dynamicly draw (just like a recording of the brush input I put in, but played back in a frame) what I input.
Heres an example, I write, the AS saves the pathing input (in order too) then calculates with a variable number the time too take per stroke (aka, 1 stroke = 0.5/s, or vector point 0.1/s or 0.2/s).
I'm loading a pic using a config file like:
[AS]
onClipEvent (load) {
loadText = new LoadVars();

I know this should be do-able, but i am stumped... I created a row of movie clip buttons + eventListeners (CLICK) with a for-loop. i now want to take an array that consists of a list of swfs (i.e., var myArray:Array=new Array(); myArray=["thing.swf","dog.swf",more.swf",etc}--and programmatically assign a loader + URL request to each of the created movie clip buttons that will load the swfs on the button click.
