Actionscript 3.0 :: Dynamic Mc's To Reference Other Dynamic Mc's
May 1, 2009
I have a dynamic group of movieclips... these fade in/out on rollOver/rollOut. During the rollOver they reference an index in the legendArray. In the legendArray each index has 5 digits (0 = off, 1=on). Over each "bg" mc are a series of 5 dynamics mc's ("dt" mc (see eg.jpg)), which are to change tint via tween, depending on the legendArray index. I have been able to associate the btn("bg" mc) with the proper legendArray index, but for some reason I'm having difficulty associating the legendArray index to the "dt" mc. As it stands, I keep getting error 1069.

Using AS2. I have a variable defined:
activenav = "services";
I then want to reference the variable in a MC string. I've tried many variations of this:
_root.my[activenav]Clip.gotoAndPlay("Out");
Essentially, I want Flash to see this as:
_root.myservicesClip.gotoAndPlay("Out");
Getting syntax error.

Been trying to make the transition from AS 2 to 3 but not without it's speed bumps. My first major hurdle has been trying to dynamically reference a class by only knowing it's name. I came across the code of import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName; but that's not working for some reason. It keeps giving me the error:
Quote:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable characterType5 is not defined.
My code in getting this is:
PHP Code:
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
var className:String = "characterType" + 5;
var tempClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class;
var char = new tempClass();

I have 9 MovieClips on stage (p1, p2, p3...), different colors and sizes. I have one AS3 class -Snake- that as an instance is supposed to duplicate one of these MC's as a Shape. The reference to the specific MC is supposed to be on the constructor method. These instances are supposed to be triggered from one global Enter.FRAME event.
My question: How can I refer a distinct MC from within a class? I ask this because this MC will be dynamic and its properties ever-changing (position and color). I know this can be solved by adding distinct Enter.FRAME listeners per instance, but I'd rather avoid bad practices.

how does one reference a MovieClip instance dynamically in AS 3.0? Example, I create a new instance of a "marker" MovieClip class that inherently has within it a series of embedded MovieClips labeled: "m1", "m2", "m3" etc ... and I want to be able to dynamically reference those embedded MCs.I used to do this all the time in AS 2.0, and can't recall how to do it in AS 3.0.I know it is something like this:
number = 1;
marker = new StaticMarker();
var thisMarker = this.marker.m[number];[code].........

I am having trouble dynamically changing the reference to root in my movies. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a main movie(_level0.mainMovie) that I am loading external .swfs into. However, I want to be able to test the child movie clips without having to load them into the mainMovie(for testing purposes). In such a case, the child clip would be at _level0 or _root. I would like to add some code to the child clips to test whether they are the _level0 clip, if not, then I want to change their reference to _root. Here's what I've come up with, which doesn't seem to work:
ActionScript Code:
function testLevel(){
//This code goes into each child clip to see if it has been loaded into another clip

getChildByName("name") works great if my object has been added to the stage or some MC. But what can I do if I have an object created dynamically that I want to reference later in the code but haven't added to the stage? Here's an example:
for (var a = 0; a < 10; a++) {
var testObject = addChild(new BlankMC());
testObject.name = "myTest_" + a;
}
[Code]....
This returns my BlankMC instance, but ONLY because it was added to the stage. If I don't use "addChild", then I get "null" because my instance is not a child of the stage (or anything else as far as I know). Is getChildByName the ONLY function for referencing a dynamic element?

I have a number of identical movie clips that are generated in responce to an XML file. I'm trying to reference a specific one of these movieclips after a sound file stops playing How do I call up that specific movieclip? How can dynamically created objects be referenced through the actionscript?
PHP Code:
for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++){varnew test() addChild(a); 150);

I've got a couple of columns of buttons loaded with attachMovie and looping through an xml array with a for loop, so they're named, for example, "thisBtn"+i+"_mc". But I don't seem to be able to reference them in the script with either a written-out name like thisBtn0_mc, or with "thisBtn"+i+"_mc".
How exactly do you reference each individual button?

I'm not even sure if the title reflects what I want to do. Here's backstory. I have a movieclip with 5 'holder' movieclips in them. They are my containers for dynamically added movieclips. The parent containers has an instance name of pyramid, the holder instance names are labeled after the 6 food groups, i.e., 'grainholder', 'fruitholder', 'vegetableholder', etc etc...The holders are within the pyramid container, instance names as above, and the pyramid container is added to the display list. I have a addFoodToPyramid() function which adds 'foodMC' mc's to their respective holders. So an [object Apple] will be dynamically added by way of pyramid.fruitholder.addChild(Apple). The function also adds a listener. Heres the call and the function:The call (I will use grains as example) is this:
addFoodToPyramid(grainArray, grainHolder, grainCounter);
And the function is:
function addFoodToPyramid(thisArray:Array, thisHolder:MovieClip, thisCounter:Number):void

I am starting simply (or so I thought) by pulling an object from my library (libraryButton) with a unique identifier btn[i] and placing a dynamic text field within it. thus;
var numberOfButtons:Number = 5;
var btn:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < numberOfButtons; i++) {
[Code]....
would work, and Im simply trying to target a child item within btn[i]

I'd like to invoke a function inside a mc from it's parent, but I want to have the reference to the clip be dynamic. When I path the mc directly and invoke the function it works, how would I make that same reference work dynamically.
Here's a sample of what I'm trying to do:
Code:
var myArr:Array = new Array();
myArr[0] = "galleryContainer_mc.eventGallery1_mc.imgContainer_mc";
trace(myArr[0]);

I have a bunch of objects that each contain a color swatch movie clip. The color swatch contains a bunch of frames, each a different colored rectangle.The objects that contain the swatch clips also have a mask layer that defines what portion of the color swatch is revealed.
When I have one frame in that mask, everything works correctly. I can change the swatches with no problem.However, I need to create different frame for the mask. Once I create a second frame with a different mask, I get a Null Object Reference and everything breaks.
I tried creating shape tweens between the frames, making each mask into its own movie clip, and putting each new mask on a different layer - but none of that works.

well in my game,while you are playing level you have 3 objects(movieclips) on which you can click to pass on the next frame(when comes 3 new objects etc. untill level is complete); 2 of that 3 objects are wrong, and only 1 is good for passing on next frame. (all of all, correct click, wrong clicks)when i come on that level it keeps me showing error in output:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at TestYourLogic_fla::MainTimeline/goodplus();
Code: Select allfunction goodplus (event:Event):void {
goodcount ++;
goodText.text = (goodcount.toString());//<----debugger is showing error here
}
i gave instance name on my dynamic text as goodText, and it is on every frame.

I am building a Gallery/Case Study application and I am running everything off of XML, and I need to be able to add images/text to the application whenever, without causing any problems. On the sideshow portion of the application, I am putting dynamically generated textfields under the picture viewer, with the number of the current image, highlighted. Similar to the one here:[URL] the first slide haha this was one of the best examples I could find. Anyway I've created the textfields, that display the correct numbers (that is, from "01" until say "07" depending on the .length(); of the XML tag <image>), but that is all they do so far. I am setting the type in the textfields by doing this
Code:
_tf.text = "0" + myIndex as String
myIndex is a varibale incrementing as long as var i:Number is less than the length property of the XMLList I'm using to store the image URL's. I am adding the _tf var to the stage using addChild(); and multiplying i by like 20 or something to make the x values different for every _tf. My problem is that if i try to reference the myIndex value when the textfield is clicked, it says the value of myIndex is 7, which is what it was set to when the last iteration of the loop executed. Basically I need to be able to store a value somewhere, that is unique to each textfield so I can load the corresponding image from my XMLList. I've tried messing around with the .name property of MovieClips, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. I use it earlier in the code with my Loader instance, but I don't know how to use it with MovieClips.

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{

i have a question while reading Flex 4 Cookbook i came across the method to dynamically adding control to the container controls but nowhere i came across with how to provide them with the dynamic properties and events like they have created a button dynamically inside a group control but what good a button be if i cannot give it an event dynamically. in the same way i want to add a tree view inside a vbox but what good that be if cannot provide a data provider to it dynamically.actually i am creating an web application where i add the tree view to a vbox and i want to the data provider should also be dynamic depending upon the option i have selected in the combo box.

i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).
