How can I assign the same function to lots of different buttons with different instances names? ie the following function needs to be assigned to all my "correct" buttons. ie, correctansnwer1, correctanswer2, etc etc.
Code: Select allObject(this).mainquestions.CorrectAnswer1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,correct);
function correct (event:MouseEvent):void

im new to flash actionscript and i am trying to create a very simple game. in this game i have about 50 walls that i want to stop the player if they collide with it. i cant figure out how to assign the same code to multiple instants and im still fuzzy on alot of the terms flash programmers use but im learning.on an unrelated note i am also having the player push the ball and when i add a collision.block to the ball when it hits the wall it goes right through it because of the ball repositioning itself based on the players location.
View 1 RepliesWhen one creates several instances of a movie clip on the main timeline, how can one assign separate variables to each of these instances and then invoke each of these values from the main timeline? I know how to do this by creating a separate movieclip and putting code on that movie's timeline (using 'this'), but I always feel this is sloppy because I'd like to keep my code all on one timeline.Here's some example code. It creates three instances of a movie clip, and assigns each one a variable called 'contImage' which contains the source of the loaded image. How can I get this variable traced when each of these images is clicked?Even though, as I said above, I have a work around, it has stuck in my craw for a while now.
Code:
var photos:Array = new Array('images/1.jpg', 'images/2.jpg','images/3.jpg');
for(var i:int = 0; i < photos.length; i++)

i'm having a problem with my function in assigning characters to a set of textfields..i made a set of textfields for my crossword puzzle with an instance name of c111 for the 1st textfield c112 for 2nd, c113 3rd etc.[code]this actually work on first set of dynamic textfield...but when i used it on my 2nd set...with instance names of c121, c122, c123, c124 etc..it also changes my first set of textfields...and it only assign to instance names with even num (c122, c124)[code]i tried to rename this one kLO2, but same outcome.
View 2 RepliesI have 4 mc on my stage which i want to tween to a specific size (400x400) on MOUSE_OVER. I would like to assign each mc the same function to achieve this. I have half achieved this with the code below, however when I MOUSE_OVER one of the mc, the stage also resizes. I would like to avoid using XML if possible.
This is my code.
Select allmc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thumbOver);
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thumbOut);
mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thumbOver);
mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thumbOut);

mc3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thumbOut);

When assigning a function to onEnterFrame, for ex. onEnterFrame = someFunction, you do not include the brackets or the script will not run properly. my question is then, how can you assign a function to onEnterFrame while specifying parameters for that function? I tried onEnterFrame = someFunction(param1), but the function will only execute once.
View 3 RepliesBasically looking for a way to get the instance created when I use this function I've made, it seems to me "libItem" will be a new instance and I would like to re-assign that back to the item passed into the function so I can access the instance later.
Here is the function I created to create library on the stage...
Code:
function objectPlacer( libItem, instance:Class ):void {
libItem = new instance( );
addChild( libItem );
}
So here is how I call the function
Code:
// Function( var name, library item class name, pos x, pos y )
objectPlacer( i_ranks, txt_Ranking );
My problem is, I try to access "i_ranks" later with the following code...
Code:
i_ranks.x = 100;
And I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
"i_ranks" is defined as a class member.
Also, if you know - what should types should I be assigning the parameters instance and libItem in the function?
I have a decompiled swf which I've heavily modified consisting of two large buttons with identical behaviors. When I assign a url to the button layer after double clicking on the left button, then the right, the behavior are both applied to the same sprite which, when viewed in the library, only represents the left button ("url one"), while the second url is missing. There are two separate layers for each button on the scene, yet I can't get separate urls applied to them because of this.I could just create two separate files, but that would add to the amount of code...
View 7 RepliesThis function all works correctly, except where i am assigning an action to the onRelease event of a given button. Every button is assigned to the same value (appears to be the first value pulled from the array).

I have a script; what it does is is read a numeric variable (projects) from "text.txt" and dynamically attaches a relevant number of movie clips in a row. Each one of these movie clips serves as a simple two frame "button"; frame one is the unselected state, and frame two is the selected state...
// load external data
loadData = new LoadVars();
loadData.onLoad = function() {[code]....
anyway, this script works just fine, as is. the variable reads in perfectly, the movie clips attach etc. my problem is this: I want the button that I click to go to its active state. this is no problem as all I have to do is add an onRelease/gotoAndStop() command which is attributed to each button as it is created, as above. my problem is that, say I had a bunch of dynamically generated buttons, when I click one of these buttons I don't know how to tell the other buttons to revert to their inactive states i.e: return to their first frames.
I have great difficulties with something that should be rather simpel to solve, but the problem is that I'm out of solutions to my problem.The buttons that are created from an loop that retrieves it's data from array's doesn't load the external swf, instead it gives my an 'undefined' output.I tried several different array constructions found on other threads, defined them differently, but it won't work.
Here's what I'm working with:
[AS]buttons = [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8];
titles = ["BOEDDHA", "GELUKSHOEKJE", "GEUREN", "INTERIEUR", "VECHTKUNST", "PERSOONLIJK", "SERVIES", "VERMAAK"];
swfArray = ["products.swf", "products1.swf", "products2.swf", "products3.swf", "products4.swf", "products5.swf", "products6.swf", "products7.swf"];
[code]...
As you see, I made an Array of the .swf's, put the swfArray in a loop and tried to define them to the buttons with the onRelease function.
I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];
[code]....
from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.
I have a piece of code, that moves an array depending on it's type. If the array is of TypeA objects, it will change TypeA. If it is TypeB it will change TypeB. The issue with the current code is the repeative blocks.

I want it to act on all the instances of the movieclip it is contained within. It is only acting upon the last of the instances that was loaded or had focus... I'm clearly missing something or am trying to achieve something that isn't capable of working...
In a program I'm making, I have multiple instances of the same object on the stage at any given point, and I need some function which will allow me to target each of those instances one by one so I can update their properties. I recall seeing something like this somewhere, but after searching I cannot seem to find it.
View 7 RepliesI imagine this has been asked before but forgive me, the search feature seems not to be working for me; and despite working, google search isn't helping much either.I simply would like to apply the exact same action to multiple buttons without re-writing the same thing (n) times. For example: I have 8 or 9 buttons that on mouseOver and mouseOut will have performed identical functions, though the graphics in their corresponding keyframes may or may not be discrete from one another.So, is there a short way to write this, like say (imaginative I know...):[code]
View 4 RepliesI hacked together a bunch of code I've found throughout the most excellent Kirupa and added a bunch of stuff myself.(Mad props to Scotty and Seniculor (sp?) btw)Everything I added works except the rollover function for multiple MC's that are created when the gallery generates.I want the buttons to continue fading out after rollout.Once you roll in to another MC the rollout function stops.It should work like a "wave" effect when you roll over all the buttons quickly.I've played around with local variables, deleting enterframes, etc. etc. but just can't get anything to work.I only included applicable code so please ignore any extra "}" I may have left in there when I pasted.[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm having issues with something wanted to accomplish involving qued amations that i can reuse in various situations throughout an application...
Basically, what I'm trying to get is a prototype or function that will allows for multiple instances on that stage that start at a specific x/y and size, animate to a specific x/y size and end at a specific x/y and size... the x/y and size information is defined for each of the instances in the function.
A good place for this would be with buttons... check the sloppy diagram attached.
I'm making a gallery using XML data and loading the information into a mc instance that are in turn being attached to the stage via linkage id. My question is this: I need to make all of those instances fade out with a function, and I have created a for loop to do this, however it is not working.. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

I have around 400 sounds in my flash file.Is there anyway to go about using them with having to instantiate them all.I will be storing them in an array.
var sound1:Sound = snd1;
var soundN:Sound = sndn;
var mySounds:Array =[sound1,soundN....];
I already have linkages in the library as sound1,soundN,etc
How would one go about this ?say you have a number of input text fields. and ppl feed their orders in.
big mac = 5
mc chicken = 2
lg coke = 0
fillet of fish = 0
cookies = 0
sunday = 2
then once they are done it shows thier order..... without all the menu items.
big mac = 5
mc chicken = 2
sunday = 2
To do this I was going to attempt to have an if statement for each item.if there was an item ordered a dynamic text box would be created at _x _y...... then add 10 to _x. (to move the next one down the stage)
if there was no item ordered a dynamic text box would not created.then the next item would be created further down the page as _x was increased with the last menu item created.
I'm a second day action script student with a specific goal. I would like a button to load a movie clip to a specific place. I have a button with the "LoadMovie" script and it loads the movie onto level 1, but I don't know how to give whatever it loads an instance name so that I can direct it specifically where to load.
