Actionscript 3.0 :: Looping To Add MovieClips And Fill With XML Data?
Dec 17, 2009
I am brand new to this and am clearly doing something wrong and could very much use some help.Here is what I've been tasked with doing. In one row, I will have 3 columns of information being populated with XML data. I will then move to a 2nd row and do the same thing. This will continue until all the information has been added.
I have made it so that I can access the XML data and can manually add the information to a textbox inside of a movieclip, but because I have so much information to work with, I want to be able to dynamically add the movieclips, assign them an instance name, fill them with XML data and then repeat the process 50 pixels under that row. Does that make any sense?

I have three movieclips at the top of my page which contain text fields. When the swf first loads, the xml will load and fill all three of those movie clips with the appropriate <name> data from the xml. When one of the names are clicked, the corresponding fields needs to populate data from the xml (name, title, description, image). When another movieclip is clicked, that previous data needs to be removed, then filled with the new data. I've attached my fla and xml file incase none of that makes sense, but here is my code so far:
Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
//Alignement
var xPlacement:Number;

I have another small question regarding dynamic color in movieclips. Essentially, I am looking for a way to find a color within a movieclip (like #999999 in the below sample) and replace that color with something else (like #ffd223).
But, I want the stroke around the circle to remain untouched. So, the script would only find a certain fill, and color only that area.
I tinkered with the beginFill method but couldn't get it working.

I have a movie clip that is dropped onto my main scene, and I have the AS below as the frame's AS.
The concept is simple: Create dynamic empty movieclips, position them, fill them, make them clickable. The code under "//////////////////////////////////////Code below here doesn't work" isn't working. The code worked fine when attempting to do this on my main scene, but I ran across some interface issues that caused me to put them into anorther MC. I understand that I only included the code for the first button, right now I would like to get at least one working.
Code:
for(var i=0; i<=43; i++){
iDepth = i + 200;
this["z_Brickmc_"+i] = this.createEmptyMovieClip("zBrick"+i+"_mc", iDepth);[code].....

i am trying to populate an MC/text field via XML and the duplicate this underneath itself (in a loop) for how ever many lines of the xml there are.. Ive got quite far *in my humble opnion* but seem to have come unstuck on the looping and duplicating...
My code only duplicates the movieclip once - and the second movieclip is not populated (ie pulling data from the xml) only the first one is!..
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

I have a series of moviclips named "item0","item1", etc. What is the best way to loop through the clips to assign some listeners? It would look something like this:
Code:
for (var j:Number = 0; j < helpArr.length; j++) {
item[j].buttonMode = true;

The issue I am having is that the animation will play fine on my mac but when opened on a Windows OS it just loops and all the movieclips overlapp.I am looking for a quick clean code solutiion I used code snippets to control the movie and do not have a knowledge of hand-coding AS.Note:It is all set in one scene and one frame all of the movies are nested.What I want the animation to do:Button 1 activates a series of movieclips, stops when another button is selected and resumes at the begining again when clicked.Button 2 Same action ability as button 1Button 3 Same action ability as button 1This is the snippet based code I am using now:
step1.arrows1b.stop();

I am trying to create some flash banner (looping animation). I have 1 stage timeline (100 frames) and several movieclips. I need to play 1 movieclip from frame 1 to frame 50. How can I do this?
It plays again and again. If I add AS stop(); in the frame 50 of this mc (inside mc timeline), then this mc plays just once. When all movie is looping from the frame 1, this mc does not play.

i want to fill a listbox with data from a MySql table. the code ive gotten working is for static data from an xml file. here it is:
var options:XML = new XML();
options.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("fillRegions.xml"));
[Code]....
this creates an echod file that looks just like the above xml example. so, how do i change my original AS3 code to pull data from this php file rather then the xml file?

NOTE: The following text is my problem and observations, if you afraid to read it all, my problem is easily guessable within the code go ahead and crack at it without my explanation :-p I'm having some trouble with using hitTest(); with movieclips within arrays. I wanted to build a function that checks the hitTest of Movieclips in arrays because the array is dynamic and it would run more efficient and faster this way.
As you may notice it doesn't check just the movieClip in the array, but a movieclip 2 scopes within it. I feel that this is my problem. I noticed in my debugger that that mc doesn't show up, but i put an onLoad event on it to trace its existence when loaded and it shows up fine. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

I'm trying to store the initial X position of five movieClips in an Array by looping through it. Should be no worries, but I only end up with "Undefined" when I trace the array afterwards...

I have an ArrayCollection of Objects. Each Object with three attributes:CustomerID, Income and DateMy goal is to chart this data for each customer (or a couple together) in a Income by Date LineChart display. Selection of customers is done with ArrayCollection filters.Data is fetched from an SQL database, however, each customer has some data points missing.f there was zero income on August 8, 2010 there will be no entry for that.Charting the ArrayCollection as is, is misleading because there is no indication of the missing data points.One way to solve this is to artificially add zero points for the missing dates for each customer. However, this would explode the data set (and impact performance).

I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.

I'm trying to loop through each of the arrays stored in a Shared Object and place the individual array items inside rows of textfields. This isn't quite working - it fills all the text fields with the last data array only:
Code:
var elemSharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("elementChoices", "/");
//Load data into fields
for (var prop in elemSharedObject.data) {
[Code]....
I need a way to increment "elemSharedObject.data[prop]" after it's filled each successive row of textfields.

I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).

1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.

I am trying to use an xml file containing percentage data by state as a database and load in that percentage data into state movieclips in my flash cs4 file using as3. I know how to load xml data into dynamic text boxes, but I have no idea how to load the xml data into my movieclips. I have attached a small portion of my flash file as well as the xml data that I am trying to load.

I'm trying to make an animated map showing points on a map as they appear over time.I've got a few hundred locations in a spreadsheet with lat/longs. I have a plugin from Avenza for Illustrator that lets me plot the points, and then of course I can import them into Flash. The problem is that when I move them to Flash, all of the attributes, including the year (which I need to animate them) is stripped away.
I can easily enough get pixel coordinates in Flash at this point, but the problem is I don't know anything about these points now. I'm having to look at them, one at a time, in Flash and Illustrator, then manually hard code each individual point to tell it where it appear on the timeline in Flash. This isn't going to work.

I want to pull in an xml list containing thumbnail image src, image label, and video clip info, into a format on the stage. The thumbnail images should be pushed into 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. Eventually, I want to load the image label into a text box (should be easy), and then the videoclip to be played via click onto thumbnail (will attempt that later)
Below is my code:

I'm currently having abit of problem with splitting some data and inserting it correctly.On screen I am going to have 3 movieclips (with a dynTextfield already placed inside them).Using data imported from PHP I plan to put the project names of the returned results inside the movieclips. The problem with this is if the results are more than 3 then there aren't enough movieclips. To over come that I was thinking of using a 'more' button where the project names would get pushed out of the movieclips and the new set loaded in/along.
At the present moment I can split the data (received from PHP) and trace it accurately, although I'm not sure how to go about storing it now. I was going to use and Array and store to store the info and call it in the buttons, however I haven't used arrays before.
Code
Code:
function fetchInfo(){
//Query DB for existing projects:
fetchProjects = new LoadVars();
fetchProjects.userID = _global.UserID;
[code]....
At the moment in my test there are 2 results that are returned.

I'm trying to redo my App and have everything added dynamicly, so updating will be a lot easier. I have 3 movieClips in my library. 1 is the holder of the other two. This is done because the holder has a class attached to it, and the 2 other movieClips are where the content is being added.
So basicly what I have now is via XMLList and a for loop the content is placed and displayed on the stage. They are added like this:
PHP Code:
var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("Avalist.xml"));
myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
[Code]....
Now what I'm trying to do is add the same amount of content, but different images to the flipHolders that already exist right now but then the sideB in stead of sideA.

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

I'm using AS 3.0 to generate movieClips to display external data from XML in Flash. These data need to update every xxx seconds. But at reloading it just writes the new data on top of the old data... Since not every update will have the same number of lines or clips next to eachother I need to clear the whole stage at once before writing the new data.

i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:
