I have an array of external images that I am loading and the number of external images is variable, so I want to be able to create loaders to load them as needed. Is there a way to dynamically create and uniquely name a loader at run time?
Otherwise is there a way to pass the image content off in such a way that it will remain loaded if the loader is used to load other images?

I'm building a variable matching game. The player clicks one of four choices and then clicks the answer area. Their choice appears in the area, and if the answer is correct the answer container shifts down, highlighting the next answer area to be filled. Inside the container are a large number of these answer areas (60).
What I am trying to do is have only one be answerable at a time, the highlighted one, so that players can't skip ahead despite seeing the empty spaces left to answer in. What I have right now isn't working, and I could use some outside insight.
Code:
var i:int =1;
function sampleFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(selection == e.currentTarget.targetCorrect){//targetCorrect is a string set statically
[Code].....
I realize I could use a for loop to add the event listener, but the project really calls for only one answerable area at a time.
My problem is that I cant figure out how to draw my movieclip if I dynamicly name it.
However If I address it by using its actual name it works fine.
I have included both working and non-working code.[code]....

I'm trying to create a dynamicly named object.
something like

but what i wrote above dosn't work for some reason.
I've dynamically created a grid of buttons which are going to modify a 2D array, but I can't work out how to create a unique function for each iteration of the loop with a dynamic function name. Probably just a stupid syntax error by me...

So I've been trying to make dynamically named functions, and while it works, I've run into a couple of problems.
ActionScript Code:
var uServer:String = "irc.epic-chat.net"
var lol:String = "lolz"
var num:Number = 3
[Code].....
If I had something like that ^ what could I add to func to distinguish between whether it is being called by lolz0, lolz1, or lolz2? I was thinking whether there was something like .name I could use, but I couldn't come up with anything.
I'm trying to get data out of an array. Problem is the array I'm trying to access is different depending on where I'm currently at.
I can get data from a dynamically named variable, like so:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link"]
but now that I want to access one field in an array, instead of a single variable, I don't know the syntax to get at it? Waa. I tried:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link[" + Linki + "]"]
but it didn't like me.
i am loading several images from an XML path into a flash movie and i want to dynamically create image loader variables for them. Here is my code so far:

I have a movieclip (myMC) that I create several instances of.I dont duplicate the movieclips, but just copy and rename them like "myMC_i", where "i" is a unique number.Can I somehow check if one copy of myMC (for instance "myMC_2") collides with another copy (for instance "myMC_5"), always ignoring collisions with other types of movieclips on the stage?Thats the problem I cant solve. I can either check for a collision with ANY other movieclip, or check for a collision with a single SPECIFIED movieclip (by checking for its name). But I dont know how to check for a collision with a group of movieclips that has the first part of their names in common. If it had been like in a search-engine, you would have been able to search for:[code]

I'm reading Colin Moocks Actionscript for flash MX book and upon reading functions he instructs to create a symbol named ballSymbol, than put an instance on the stage (frame 1 maintimeline) and call it ball. Than on frame 1 on the main timeline put the following actionscript:
Code:
_global.mainTimeline = this;
function moveBall() {
mainTimeline.ball._x += 10;
mainTimeline.ball._y += 10;
};
moveBall();
The ball is supposed to move diagonally. But my problem is when I test the movie, nothing happens. No movement, nothing...
I have a custom circle component in my application, which is divided into 3 sectors as of now.Can we uniquely identify each segments of this circle? I want to drag and drop text or images from another container to this circle component. But I want to place different images in the different sectors. Is it possible to distinguish the individual sectors of the circle component?[code]Actually I want the circle to be divided into 6 sectors, but for now just divided it into 3 sectors. But is it possible to uniqulely identify the individual sectors of the circle so that I can drag different images or texts into those particular sectors?

I'm creating loaders dynamically depending on XML, which I'm loading.

View 3 RepliesI am calling some data from php, which simply retrieves some data from MySQL. The tables retrieved are called dynamically and so I have a list of those tables sent to actionscript below and called by event.target.data.its and event.target.data.ces. These will have a list of the tables called. I then send the name/value pairs to actionscript from php by using those table names (all inside of php here) dynamically.

I have a question regarding custom classes. I have created one named HrollBtns with a some scale and alpha roll over behaviors. When I load a jpg using a loader obj. Can I dynamically assign this custom class to the loader? If I had to do this loading an object from the library ...I would first assign the custom class through the linkage prop inspector and then simply add the Child(with my class behaviours) to the stage. Loading external files dont know how to do it...

ActionScript Code:
var loader_text:Loader_text = new Loader_text();
addChild(loader_text)

Is this possible ? If yes how ?Otherwise what's the alternatives ?
By dynamically I mean using
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishLoading);

is it possible to create a pre-loader using plainly Flex 4? I've seen tutorials on how to make one but each of them requires that I have Flash Professional or Flash Catalyst. I have absolutely no experience when it comes to implementing pre-loaders as well as making one.
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a gallery and I've just relised I've been creating a new set of thumbnails each time I click on the image category.There are four Categories and everytime I click on a category a new set of thumbnails gets created.How would I go about reusing the loaded thumbnails.I'm assuming I would need to create a separate Array to store the loaded thumbnail from each category. I am able to create the Array but how do I tell flash that the Loaded objects are in the array so don't create a new Loader and a new thumbHolder.[code]

I have been looking over the internet for a while about this, but it doesn't seem like there is any information available specifically related to captcah and flash.
My purpose is to create an image up-loader on flash, and implement "recaptcha" on it, so the upload is controlled.
I know that some people will say, "well you can't automatize flash input so you don't need captcha in this situation" even though this is somewhat true, there is still screen macro programs that could potentially make the computer upload hundreds of pictures if there is not something in place to avoid it.
I thought of implementing my own captcha but that seems to me like i would be reinventing the wheel, can anyone point me on the right track for this? or suggest another approach to avoid abuse on my image up-loader flash?

View 1 RepliesI'm listening for a Loader to COMPLETE loading, and then I jump to a handler function "thumbLoaded". I would like to create a new Loader obj. each time I enter the "thumbLoaded" function. I would like this new Loader to be equal to the Loader that triggered the COMPLETE event. But I don't know the correct syntax to refer to that Loader. I'm trying to refer to the "parent" of the contentLoaderInfo object (ie, the Loader object itself). I've tried both "target.parent" and "currentTarget.parent". I get an error that says "parent is not a valid property of the loaderInfo object".
