I have an XML feed coming into my application. What i would like to have happen is the for loop that adds an index number to each item in the feed, also create a text box for the description and title and then assign the item text to those text areas

for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++){
var mySumm:TextField = new TextField();

View 13 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.

Currently I am trying to create a mini map which i can populate with the contents of an array.I can make any size grid with little to no trouble in AS3, for arguments sake I have been trying to get a 4x4 Grid populated.I can even make listeners inside the new class but i cannot figure out a way to give each new MiniMap tile a unique identifier like i would of in AS2 and then assign the current frame to play.I have looked around and tried a few tutorials with no success.I have been using this to create the tiles (inside two for loops to make the grid)
Code:
var MiniMap:MiniMapTile = new MiniMapTile();
addChild(MiniMap);
Here is how i did it in AS2 for anyone Interested.
Code:
_root.MapTile.duplicateMovieClip("Tile" add i, i);
Edit: I have done it the long way :/ made 12 separate objects. Incredibly convoluted.
I am creating an app using CS4 flash. I have it calling an asp containing xml with from 1 to 30 records.

I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!

I don't really know that much about Commands in Flash, but I was thinking this could be a possible Command to create.See, I have this puppet made up of dozens of separate pieces, all on their own layers.It's very tedious to click on 10 different symbols in order to move the character's arm, for example.I was wondering if there was a way to create a JSFL command to select each of the 10 symbols on the stage.
I tried clicking each one, and saving the "Change Selection" actions from the History Panel as a Command, but that is location-based.As soon as I move those symbols to a new location, the command I saved no longer selects them.And I can't select the objects by layer or frame, because it doesn't seem to want to save those either.
Is there any way to print the contents of a textfield or string using the pring command in AS?

I have a problem with this code. Now codes are working correct. I am taking nodes from xml file. I need to make mp3 player autoplay after SetSong("songname") command. I tried add play_btn.onReleased() commad after stop_btn.onReleased command in snd.loadSound function or the last line of SetSong function. But nothings happened. It autoplays when I remove the stop_btn.onRelease() line in snd.loadSound function. But this time progressbar_mc doesn't work correctly. The _sound needs stop and updatetime but play command never works after stop command. But it plays when I pushed the play button. I didn't understand.
I've built a code to cyclically move a scene on the bottom of my stage; I've done this to make a slowing-and-stop-easing effect at anytime the command will arrive. The entire scene mc is _x long something like 6000 px. The whole code goes in this way:
1) importing on the stage (with attachMovie) a mc with this code inside:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x -= countermovement;
if (_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x <= -5800) {[code].....
The code goes right, but I need to improve it.Now there is just a variable, I tought to use two vars to implement the whole code in a setInterval, but maybe it's unuseful, and actually I can't use it in the right way.
Second issue: actually when slowAndStop function is called the scene slow too fast, if I take it to 15 it slow better but the scene is running too fast...
The best would be that the scene slow down and stop following: A) a temporal variable (and I can try to implement it with setInterval, that for istance is a cycle)
B) an indipendent moving variable, so that on one side I set the speed, on the other side I set the slow-and-stop in a matter of time with countermovement.I also tried to use a second variable:
var counter:Number = 15;
// set the _x increment
var countermovement:Number = counter/2;
but the scene slow and goes backward a bit
