IDE :: Dynamic Buttons Pulled From A Directory
Nov 19, 2009
I have a directory of PDF's that I am loading the names of dynamically using PHP: My PHP file looks like this:
[Code]...
Now the code works perfect and it displays the name of all the pdf's but I want to somehow make a button on top of each displayed pdf that makes it clickable. The code is already storing the name of the PDF's so it should be pretty easy to do a getURL("pdfname","blank") or whatever I just don't know where to start. Here is the SWF output: [URL]

I am creating a map of the US. I've created a button for each state and named each button with it's 2 letter state code (AL, AK, AR, etc) in the library. I would like for each button to link to a directory on the site with a similar name, /site/map/AL, for example.
Rather than set up each button individually with script like:
on (release) {
getURL("/site/map/AL", "_parent");
}
Is there a way to consolidate the 50 buttons in to a few lines of code? If the destination directory were to change in the future I would then only have to change a couple of lines of code instead of 50 instances. I'm thinking the name of the button could be read and passed in to the button function, but I'm no programmer and not familiar enough with Actionscript to know where to start.

When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.

I am trying to have 3 image holders that will constantly dissolve between 2 images. (different images in each holder). And that I could change the images and the delay of the dissolve via XML. I have managed to create a basic 1 holder that will dissolve images which are being pulled via XML. (through a great tutorial). But I can't break it down to 3 holder.

Here's my listBox code for a listBox called myList (pretty basic):
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
[Code].....
In addition to the text label (to the left of it, actually), I'd like to have a square icon (an image thumbnail) with each row in the list.

I've successfully (finally) been able to pull imagery from an external XML list and display it on stage and even add it to be pulled randomly. What I'm hoping to be able to do, is after the first image comes in, using a mask bring another on top of it with a vertical blinds effect.And alternate back and forth with this technique. My thought process is two XML lists being pulled alternately? (I'm probably WAY off.) I've seen a couple templates out there, but 1. I'm a financially strapped programmer and 2. I wouldn't learn anything that way anyways.
ps. I might include the code that I have thus far in a little bit.It's nothing more than a modified version of an XML slideshow from another tutorial site.

I have made a very simple xml menu, from opensource codes, that loads a description with each image. This is very good sure, but I really need several descriptive fields (ex. fabric, style #, and size), and on seperate lines, that is, in seperate text fields.
So my question is: How do I add three descriptive fields to be pulled (via xml) into my flash document?
Here is the source code I am using:
Code:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

When they're clicked on they come forward and there's a paragraph of text displaying some info (that's pulled from the .xml).I would like to have a link after the paragraph to the web page that it's displaying that says something like "Launch" or "Click Here to View Site"So can I add that link into my .xml document?

I was trying to produce an output of an array mixed up and limit the number. how that is done. Now need to incorporate into a quiz application which pulls in data via, XML, displays that, and shows the number of questions. So if 50 questions are in the XML file 50 questions will be displayed in the quiz. What I am trying to do is use the XML file as a question pool and randomly select say 30 questions out of the file to display. no luck so far, but I am making progress!

I've got a problem displaying a hyperlink pulled in from an xml file. This is my AS:
Code:
var xmlData:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("app1_text.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlProcess);
function xmlProcess(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
All the other text displays fine, but the hyperlink text doesn't display at all - and I'm not getting any errors.

I'm trying to get a preload movie clip (progress_clip) to show up when an image is being pulled from the xml data bank and then shut the visiblity to false when the image is done loading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong any bump in the right direction would be very cool.

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;
[code]....
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).

I wanted to make a visulisation based on sound, like a winamp plug in.The only thing that even remotely looks like it uses sound information is the sound players on FlashKit. (although they might be faking it)url...Is there any information that can be pulled from a currently playing sound in Flash to base a animation off ?

I am using buttons with a dynamic textfield and a function to set the label for various different buttons:
public function setLabel(thisLabel:String) {
visibleLabel.text = thisLabel;
}
I set a label for each button:
btn_mc.button1.setLabel("2 | Al Sabkha Bus Station - Al Qusais Police Housing");
I have a dynamic textfield ... myText ... which I would like to use as a page title ... so once the button has been clicked, the dynamic textfield should update with the label of the button clicked.

Code:
var myArrow:ArrowMovieClip = new ArrowMovieClip();
var vectorDisplayObject:DisplayObject = stage.addChild( myArrow );
I used the code above to create an instance of an arrow graphic that I made using the line tool (the graphic is embedded in a movie clip). I now want to add different colored fills and different stroke sizes and colors using code. Is it possible to do this with pre-drawn vector graphic objects, or is it only doable if I create the arrow with code using things like lineTo and curveTo?

I have been in the habit of making buttons with a dynamic text field. This way assigning a value to the var property of the text field would allow me to reuse the button symbol and assign different text to each. In AS3 it looks like the text field Var property does not exist any longer. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work around? I would like to avoid having to make a new symbol for each button.

I am currently working on a publications page, where i get the buttons dynamically from a xml-file. Everything is working so far, but the buttons are not showing up. I traced around a little bit and I found out, that the button is created and all that, but the text field is simply not showing. I used a predefined button mc, but creating "on the fly" would be more handy for me. Why the buttons are not showing up???
This is ActionScript Code:
function createButton(bLabel:String, yPos:int, xPos:int, id:int):void {
var button:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var buttonL:TextField = new TextField();
//var button:pubButton = new pubButton();
button.name = "button"+String(id);

I'm trying read xml from flash within a class. The only thing that's missing is creating as many buttons as the length of xml. The xml length works well in the function that loads the xml. When I put the xml length in the function on the buttons, it is equal to 0. How can I make all function read the value of xml length?

I have a site that has multiple pages of similarly sized buttons. These are magazine covers. I'd like for the mag covers and links they point to (loaded swfs) to be dynamically loaded via a text file, if possible. The client always has new magazines she's been in and to manually load the newest buttons first is a pain and time consuming.
