ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Instance Name To Variable On Click
Jan 17, 2011I am attempting to set a movie clip's instance name to a string variable when clicked. For example: on my stage I have many mc instances named section101, section102, etc. when I click on any specific one I'd like to get the instance name (i.e. "section101") set to a string variable. So far I have:

Jun 28, 2010I've been learning AS3 lately and am trying to put together an interactive map. I've brought in some map data and converted it to individual movie clips, each of which has an instance name that I'd like displayed when each clip is clicked on. ideally an informational box would appear with the name of the clip and some other info that I've specified.
What do I need to script so that if one clicks on a movie clip, the instance name is displayed?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Class Where When Mouse Click On An Instance Of It?
Jul 5, 2010I want to create a class where when you mouse click on an instance of it, all other instances are notified about this click.
I want this functionality to be inside the class so there wll be no need to write any code outside the class definition, like assigning listeners to all instances and such.I wrote the following code but the event I dispatch doesn't get catched.
package sample{ import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event; public class labels extends MovieClip { var dispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); public function labels() { this.buttonMode = true;

Mar 20, 2009Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

Jun 17, 2010I have a library object (SomethingMC) which extends a custom class (Something). Something, in turn, extends MovieClip.If adding SomethingMC to the stage within Flash CS3 IDE, is it possible for it's super class (Something) to assign an instance name from a class constant (Something.THE_CONSTANT)?

The above does not work. It throws Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified. if the instance is assigned a name in the IDE, and it just doesn't work if no name is assigned in the IDE.

Mar 14, 2006I am wrapping my brain around OOP in AS2. I am making two posts on two different subjects. My question here is: when should I use local instance variables, and when should I attach new properties to the instance object? (Feel free to correct my terminology.) Let's say I have a class for a scrolling background, which scrolls when I mouse over its edge. I want to put these values somewhere:
1) How wide is the border in which a mouseOver makes it scroll? This is basically a semi-constant I set it up once and keep it the same, unless the user changes it in an options menu to make the border wider or narrower. Call this scrollBorderWidth.
2) How fast is the background scrolling now? I want to track this so I can smoothly change the scroll speed over several frames. This is often changed. Call this scrollSpeed.
It seems I have two ways I can store and access these values and darned if I know which is better practice. METHOD A: Make them local variables in the class, so the scrolling background instance has them as local vars. I set them up thusly:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create New Instance() When Instance Is A Variable?
Feb 12, 2012I have a base class I've used on 6 different MC's. Then when I use these MC's my function runs an if statement to check which one to add.
if(id=design) var obj = new design();
if(id=team) var obj = new team();
I want to make it a bit more dynamic and use the id:String to evaluate which new instance to create.
ActionScript Code:
public function loadChapter(id:String):void {
var obj = new instance_of( id )();
}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding An Instance Name From Another Instance Name?
Jan 28, 2010I have a bunch of text boxes which are acting as labels on a diagram.The idea is all the labels are jumbled up to start with, and the user has to drag the labels to the correct place.So far, I have the labels, and they are dragable, but I want to be able to lock the label onto a specific area (I've called them crashzones) so that when the user drags the label onto the correct area, the label snaps into place.The 'crashzones' instance names, are indentical to the label instance names, with the exception that the 'crashzones' instance names have the letter 'z' at the begining.
On the dragStart event, something (maybe a string) would hold the instance name of the current label and add the letter 'z' to the beggining, so something like ... crashzone = "z" + label1;As there is an instance with the name "zlabel1", when the dragstop event starts, it'll do a 'hittestobject' on the instance "zlabel1".
I'm not entirely sure how to go about this.I've tried creating a string to hold the 'crashzone' name, but the hittestobject event doesnt work with strings i.e: hitTestObject(stringname);I've also tried with Sprite, but as the sprite technically already exists and has a name, I can't give the sprite any properties.

ActionScript 3 :: Anonymous Function As Click Handler Is Called Multiple Times Per Click
Aug 16, 2010I have a button labeled 'blueButton' and I'd like to use an anonymous function to handle the click, like so:
blueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace( "-----click detected-----" );
// now do other stuff
});
Problem is, the click handler is called multiple times per click. The number of times called seems to be random (sometimes 2, sometimes 4, sometimes 3 etc). could I be missing something in my code, or maybe I set up the button wrong?
also I noticed that it seems to always get called once on the first click. After the first click is when it starts getting called additional times, maybe that has something to do with it?

Actionscript 3.0 :: If Function - When Click On The Button Takes To Another Page Without Showing The Click Animation
Sep 11, 2010I created a movieclip animation that only activates when i rollover the movieclip button. I further extended the frames and created another frame animation that i active only when user clicks the button. So i have a roll over/out animation and click animation in the same movieclip in the same layer. Now the problem is that when i click on the button, its supposed to take me to another page, and it does, unfortunately without the click animation. That means after i click on the button its supposed to first finish the click animation and then go to another page. But when i click, it takes me to another page without showing the click animation
SO I tried the If function, but i seem to make a mistake somewhere and i dont know what to do. Now there is no error in script, but onw there is a problem in link, the button finishes the click animation but it does not go to the tarrgeted"about" frame. here's the code
