I am trying to generate an invisible button and I want it to be reusable and would be in an external class..
I have a Main.fla with Main.as and an External Class.
The External class codes:
Code:
package com.ui
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have an xml snippet that contains an object hierarchy:
doc = """
<RootObj val1="ValueOne" stat1="Stat1" stat2="Stat2">

<InternalObject val1="12" val2="12" />
<InternalObject val1="13" val2="13" />
[Code]...
I'm trying to generate buttons derived from an xml file, and attach the created buttons to a movie clip. Right now, nothing is appearing within the movieclip.
Code:
_global.itemArray = new Array();
var button_spacing = 45;
var button_count = 0;
total_button_count = 0;
[Code] .....
var bottone: MovieClip= new MovieClip();
var testo: TextField=new TextField();

View 1 RepliesI'm using AS3 in timeline. I have a three page movieclip (dynamic_mc). Each page is labeled p1..p3. On p1 I have an input text box named userName and button named next_1. On p2 I have a dynamic text box named greetings_1, an input text field named schoolName and two buttons (back1 and next2).On p3 I have another dynamic text box named greetings_2 and two buttons (back_2 and next_3).
On p1 user enters name, which is captured on p2. Once a click next button on p1, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at FlashCS4_Curriculum_fla::lesson9_pg6_dynamic_122/frame10() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at FlashCS4_Curriculum_fla::lesson9_pg6_dynamic_122/goP2()
Why do I get an error when using buttons? Is there a better way to capture input text?
Here is the code by page.
//page 1 = p1stop();
var hisName:String;
next_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goP2);function goP2(evt:MouseEvent): void{ hisName =userName.text; gotoAndStop("p2");
} // page 2 =p2 greetings_1.text= "Welcome :" +hisName;var school:String;
//next buttonnext_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goP3);

I have this array that contains the names of various images I want to load into Flash
var imageArray:Array=["image1","image2","image3","image4","image5","image 6","image7","image8","image9","image10"];
Now I want to create 10 different buttons with each button loading in an image. I know there's a way to do this with a for loop without having to make 10 different buttons and writing 10 different functions. Not sure how to correlate the members imageArray with the generated btns.
I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
possibilities.There is a considerable time that I work with AS3 programming, for now, I'm starting to work with more complex applications, and, as you know, the documentation proccess is something very important. I would like to generate the class diagrams from a lot of codes that I have here
View 1 RepliesI'd like to be able to generate a class that inherits from BitmapData at runtime. Is this possible in Actionscript 3? If so, what is the syntax?
View 3 RepliesThis is how I create a Class instance of Container_, called "wall0":
var wall0:Container_ = new Container_();
I need dozens of these, numbered sequentially. Is there a syntax available that would plug into a while statement? Like:
var w:Number = -1; while(w < 100){var (wall+[w]):Container_ = new Container_();}
anyone know if it is possible to use actionscript to generate a keyframe timeline filled with external .jpg files on each keyframe.
View 1 RepliesI'm using AS 3.0 to generate movieClips to display external data from XML in Flash. These data need to update every xxx seconds. But at reloading it just writes the new data on top of the old data... Since not every update will have the same number of lines or clips next to eachother I need to clear the whole stage at once before writing the new data.
View 1 RepliesI have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.
View 10 Repliesim trying to create a conversion utility that uses number input via calculator style buttons to generate conversion for the following distances:
-Miles to/from KM
-cm to/from mm
-binary to/from decimal
Now i was thinking of possibly having the options contained within an drop down and an input text field where the numbers are entered via the calculator buttons. The only thing im struggling with is how to perform the actual calculations on the different formats. Has anyone had to do anything similar in the past? Ive only found currency conversion examples and not sure how to apply that to these conversions.
I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have an Flex-Object with for example 3 properties.
myObj.prop1
myObj.prop2
myObj.prop3
I like to generate 3 Comboboxes to show the data.
No problem if I do it hardcoded in sourcecode.
But how can I find the prop1 to prop3 at runtime?
If next time I have 5 properties with different name it should generate 5 combos.
I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am trying to access a function in a loaded swf that has external class.. I would like to avoid having to put the function on my "Main" Doc class in the external swf and instead access the function directly from the class
This is what ive tried so far and it's a no dice:
private function startLoad(){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("one.swf");

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

How to create a class from an Animated Buttons in AS3? I learn the video name "Introduction to OOP" with the code AS 2 here:
Code: Select allclass ButtonClass extends MovieClip {

I don't know how to write it in AS3.
I built a tween function to create a dropdown nav, but the nav buttons don't respond when I mouse over them or click. The code below reflects the MC 'togglemenu' which contains 'next_btn' & 'prev_btn'. 'togglemenu' tweens them through the function 'toggleMenuTween'. I noticed that if I remove the tween, they work just fine. Why?

I am attempting to delve into the world of coding and felt flash was a good place to start since I had flash 8, however I am running into a problem I just can't seem to work around.This is my project as it currently stands, you click and drag to move about, it randomly places/sizes the planets every time.The idea is to be able to click the planets and an interactive menu pop up, this menu in fact. As you can see the buttons in the movieclip are supposed to light up and things, alas they do not.I am trying to do as much as possible in classes at the moment by calling movieclips from the Library, the Planet class is what holds the planets, selection ring and menu, it looks like this:[code]I am also trying to figure out if it's possible to automatically place a number of planets based on some user input, so say if I have a text box pop up, I put 5 into that box and it places 5 planets on the screen (or in other words creates 5 variables with the planet class).

I have a container .swf file which takes care of loading a menu.swf and maincontent.swf. I finally got these working together and loading at the same time, but now I ran into another problem. None of the menu buttons work. It loads and XML takes care of creating the buttons and adding dynamic text to them. I also have it set up so that the mouse's hover position over the clip scrolls it horizontally (because there are too many buttons to show at once). All of this functionality works correctly. However, the buttons' rollovers, clicks, etc. do not register.
The cursor turns into the hand cursor over the entire movie clip into which the menu is loaded, and I'm assuming there is some problem with the events only targeting the clip it is loaded in, and not the buttons themselves. It works fine when testing it by itself. I've just recently begun working with Flash, and I learned AS3. However, I was given pre-existing commercial software to work with which was written in AS2, and now I've converted all of my work, and this is the problem I am running into. By the way, it seems to always come up from what I've seen, though I don't understand much about it -- _lockroot is set to true.
Still learning my way around Flash & AS. I'm using CS3 and AS3 for this project: I'm using the FLVPlayback to display 4 videos, each one being called by it's own button (a movie clip) that sits next to the player. This .swf goes into a webpage and works very well. Each button calls the appropriate video and I have no problems.Now, I've been told that "elsewhere" on the page, we need to have those same buttons that call up the 4 videos. In essence, just a copy of those original MC buttons located in a different spot on the webpage (so they cannot be part of the original .swf).With AS3 how do I do this?
