ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Into Different Containers?
Nov 9, 2010
I'm newly migrating over to AS3, so this may be a silly question, but is there a way to use only one Loader to load in three external swfs into different MC containers on the stage? Or, do I have to specify a new Loader for each swf since I am loading into different containers?
Say I have (containerA, containerB and containerC) on the stage of my main movie -- would it be possible to only use one Loader here to load them all in simultaneously? If so, what would the proper syntax be?
Again, I know this may just be a simple fix, but so far I can only get this working by declaring three different Loaders, and it just seems like there should be a more efficient and simple way to accomplish this.

Im trying to load my xml into a pattern that places the information found in a for loop nested inside a contentional MovieClip instance. For example: I have a movie clip (basically a main container) on the root timeline that should load 3 other instances of a movie clip which is just a back ground (or container) I created to present the xml data to the viewer. The Xml data is just a name, date, text, and thumbnail.
I am having issues with making my for loop nest my data from the xml into firstly create instances of the needed movie clips when they are needed and then nest the xml information inside of them...
Right now it works... It just that the information isn't nested so some of the movie clips appear on top of others due to how the code is set up and the display list... I formated it with the setChildIndex so it looks normal, but I want to develop a pattern to where the information fits into the containers correctly.

[URL]. I'm trying to load multiple swf's on a key-press. Loading to one mc is not a problem, but when I try to define multiple containers from multiple sources it doesn't work. This is an XML example:
<menu><item name="item1" >
<sub name="item2" >
<subsub name="item3" action="item3.swf" texte="text.swf"/>
function on menu mc:
function executeAction(action, texte) {
trace(action);
trace(texte);
loadMovie( action, _root.content);
loadMovie( texte, _root.texte);
}

If I wanted to store multiple, related sprites, would it be more efficient to store them in a container Sprite and cycle through them by child number, or to use an Array.
Code:
//Basically
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
container.addChild (obj1);
container.addChild (obj2);

I have the following scenario: I create an HBox with a width of 1000000px (one million pixels of width). this big HBox is contained inside another small HBox that has a width of 1000 px
[Code]...
Inside this big HBox I create a bitmapFill of a simple image, its just a pattern of lines the problem is that the scrollBar of the small hbox doesnt work well, it just stops halfway, the thumb of the scrollbar keeps going, but the scrolling stops and the end of the big hbox is not beign reached. Here is the part of the code that makes the bitmapfill:

Does flash supply 'invisible' containers, to make object management a little easier ? eg. add some objects to the container, then add the container to the stage, then later on remove the container (i.e removing also the objects) ?

I have this code below which works well to a certain extent. This code is on the 'PROFILE.swf'. On this page there is a sub menu containing 4 buttons: Biogs, Awards, Charity, Publications. When one of the the last 3 buttons are clicked the text already on the page fades away and the relevant, new, swf is loaded in place. Now because within each new swf there are more catergories in the sub menu to choose from, the buttons are also loaded with the new swf.
This means that after the first button is clicked, this code nolonger works as the target path changes. Initially the buttons are in Container2, then once the first button is loaded the buttons are in sub_cntr. My question is: Is it possible to write the code so that the target path is checked to both CONTAINER2 and SUB_CNTR?

I'm new to Flash Builder 4 and Actionscript 3 (actually, to programming as a whole beyond some very simplistic stuff). I have watched / read a bunch of tutorials, and started a project but now seem to have hit a wall. The answer is most likely simple, but seems to be alluding me.
How do I (or What approach should I take) to control visual elements, for instance, BorderContainer's, that I created dynamically?
As is, I have an Application containing a BorderContainer and a DataGrid. At runtime, 3 new BorderContainers (which are dragable, and resizeable) are created based on XML data that contains X & Y co-ordinates, and Height and Width values, and then added to the pre-existing BorderContainer. How would I go about getting the properties of these children BorderContainers to be displayed and remain up-to-date in the DataGrid (such as when they are moved/resized)?

I would like to modify an Accordion class to suit my needs.Instead of simply extending Accordion, I would like to copy and paste the whole class as a start, with the new class name "MyAccordion", into the src folder; to gain the maximum freedom(I assume).
However, several problems encountered. For the "include "../core/Version.as";" error, I had solved by replacing it with a explicit Version static const string. But for the problems lead by the inheritance, e.g. AccordionHeader, etc, I found that there would be too many files to be edited when going down the stream. I suspect I mis-understand the whole logic of editing the class.

Is there a way to link two Scroller containers in Adobe Flex? As in, when one scroller is modified, the same modifications will be reflected in a second scrolling container?What I am trying to do is have an image and label on different areas of the screen that are swipable, and when they are swiped/changed I want the same change to be reflected in the other Scroller container.
Here is my initial Scroller container with images that the label Scroller container should correspond to:

Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or completely misunderstanding how this works. I have three sets of objects that will always be in back, middle and front wrt to each otherSo I thought I could have three containers and add the objects in their respective locations.
back= new Sprite();
front = new Sprite();
addChild(back);

My problem is pretty simple: Flex containers do layout based on un-transformed children, and so rotated children are positioned as if there were no rotation, but then they're rotated around the top-left of that position. I've attached an image to show what I mean. Can I wrap the components in something? Or do I have to resort to custom components or fixed layouts? The image inlining doesn't look like it's working to me. Link to example image: [URL]

I have a panel and i have set minWidth and width for it. The code looks like this <s:Panel id="adg1" x="199" y="164" width="200" minWidth="300" title="Title">
Here the expected behaviour is width of the panel should be 300 since the minWidth > width,but the panel width is 200.I dont understand where i have went wrong.

I have an XML file with 1 parent node that has 1 child node inside it. The parent node is straight forward. It only has one attribute.
The child node has 3 attributes in it - Title, Photo, URL
I want my Flash file to have 3 containers - 2 Text list containers and 1 image holder. The first text container will load all of the Names of parent node. The second text container will load all of the Title of the child node.
The 3rd container will be a MC holder that will load the Photo and will link it to the URL specified in child node.
How do I script my Flash file?
Right now, my script is as follows and it successfully loads the name from parent node in one of the containers. I'm confused with other two!
Code:
function onXmlLoaded(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
// make a handle to the root node in the xml

I have a VBox, I assigned a handler to click, and inside the VBox I have components such as images and texts with no handler assigned for click. Would the click function be called when I click on the text and image? If not how can I make it so without assigning handlers individually, but on the container level?

I'm using TLF to lay out a dictionary entry. It's working fairly well, but I need finer grained control of layout than I'm able to achieve through setting style properties on FlowElements, primarily for horizontal spacing and setting padding on SpanElements independently of their parents.
The solution that seems most promising is separating the various elements of the entry into separate containers and flowing the text through them by progressively adding new containers and ContainerControllers for each new element with size set to their content bounds so that the text will flow into each new container.
This ALMOST works, but the text will only flow correctly into the next container if an extra line break is inserted between the two sections of text that should go to different containers. Without the line break, the containers are sized correctly, but no text displays.
In these examples I've added borders to the container sprites so you can see where they're being drawn. Aside from the line break, the text is exactly the same. The syllable field is a SpanElement inside a ParagraphElement. The pronunciation label and text are separate SpanElements inside another ParagraphElement.
[Code]...
As you can see, the pronunciation doesn't show unless a line break is added after the text, but the alignment is then off. No combination of line breaks seems to align them correctly.
Any ideas? Are these bugs in TLF? Should I try a different method? I would really like to have all the text selectable as one unit, and I love the better rendering and control that TLF offers, but I also need the layout flexibility. I suppose it's possible that I could hack something together like this with line breaks and positioning offsets, but it certainly wouldn't be pretty (or maintainable).

I generate panels dynamically and put them in other states in that way so in one state you have a list of panels on the left and one big panel on the right for example in one state and when you click on the list on the left (with small panels) that panels takes the places of the big panel and the big one goes back in the place. So I have 50 panels on the left and i want to scroll them down but I don't want to big panel to go down with them I want it fixed. this is where I got and I don't know how to do that here is my code:
enter code here
protected function canvas1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
blurEffect= new BlurEffect(myBlur,myUnBlur);
listEventsResult.token=eventService.listEvent();

I have several nested VBoxes in flex, and I'm aiming for one of them to get scrollbars if the total content is larger than the window height. However, when I grow the container, it doesn't get scrollbars at all (vertical scroll policy is AUTO), and the outer container stretches past the bottom of the screen, causing the entire app to get scrollbars. So it looks something like this:
