IDE :: Keeping A Variable Unique For A Dynamically Created Function?
May 23, 2009
What I'm trying to do is setup a function that shoots through a set of buttons within a subset and creates click code for these buttons.
THe three variables are the identifiers for the actual keyframe i wish to jump to, the movieclip in which i want to perform the action and the actual button to go to the right frame.
Presently the problem I'm having is that the variables aren't stored when the onRelease functions are created, so they all are just calling the LAST variables declared.
Here's a sample of the code I currently have
Code:
//function to load canvas/acrylic
function setSwatches(mySwatchCount:Number, myContainer:String)
{

I'm trying to create a unique variable and reference to it with myRewind for some button functions.
I'm trying to create this rewind+variable as the unique identifier but it just seems to be using myRewind as the variable and overwriting it.
Code:
//Setup subsection rollovers
function createRollover(myContainer, rollName) {
btnName = rollName+"_btn";
mcName = rollName+"_mc";

After some further testing, I found out that under Actionscript 3 XML (E4X) I'm unable to use dynamicaly created variable names...
The famous:
Code:
var i:number = 111
this["someVarName" + i] = "actual_value"
trace(someVarName111) // = actual_value
does not work for me with E4X lingo...
Code:
var myXML:XML
myXML = "...." //asume valid XML content here
trace(myXML.XMLData.@Memo_EN)

Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.

My code works fine as long as all the dynamically created MC's have the same height.he following pulls in data from an array structured as such:
Code:
elements1= [

I am trying to load an image in to a dynamically created movieclip, which is:
_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i
but I can't seem to reference it. I can load the movie into _root.mySlider, but if I add the dynamic element (stripX2(band[i][0])+i) without quotes it it doesn't load. If I load with quotes i.e.
"_root.mySlider."+stripX2(band[i][0])+i
flash doesn't allow strings in movieClip variables.The code I'm using is belowm, it's the second to last line thats causing the problem:
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> target_mc._width: "+target_mc._width);[code]......

i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.
here's a small piece of code i can't get working:
//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input
[Code].....
bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..

[code]Then in another function, where I handle a rollover events for the Main Menu, where I want to remove the movieclip "target_mc" after a certain rollOut event [code]doesn't work.Now, I realise this is probably cause it's not in scope, but how would I remove a movieclip that is dynamically created in another function?

i wanna write a function for the onPress handler for a movieclip that will be created dynamically.. how do i do it? this is what i'm doing:
only the ending part of this loop is relevant, where i am writing the thisMC.onpress function. The trace text never appears..
Code:
for (var i = 0; i<galleryLength; i++)
{
var thisMC:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("image"+i+"_mc", i);
loadMovie(gallery_array[i].src, thisMC);
[Code]....
this whole loop is inside the onClipEvent(load) of another clip. So when that clip is loaded, this code is executed..

Now I've dynamically created some buttons using XML. They're spread around the stage and I've modified a tooltip script to give each button a tooltip on Mouse_Over. But to se the logic and make it work using AS3 is hard (for me). I want a function that accept to parameters: Tooltip text and Object to tooltip. In my code I get this error msg when initiating the function on dynamically created buttons: 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:Sprite to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip. I beleive there are more than one thing here needing a fix.

i've been struggling with the following:
i am creating a list of buttons with an attachMovie. the AS is :
//as
var i = -1;
while(++i<userlist.length){
var user = userlist[i];
[Code].....
okay the problem is this: then i assign an on click function to every button right in the while loop that uses the data parameter of the "ob" object and when i play the movie the data parameter is always the parameter of the last object created for all the buttons. I know why this is happening- it overWrites the old "ob" with the new with every itteration of the loop.
But how would i go differently about creating an individual "ob" for each button created and still be able to have a function with a data parameter like this.onRelease.userClicked(data)?

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

I want to create object instances based on user input but I can't figure out how to get a unique variable name for each instance (I want to be able to get at and manipulate them later). In other languages I would usually just use an eval() function to pull this off.

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

Only one of these 5 buttons have some images that will have symbols_mc appear... in this case I just alpha this symbol to 100 only for this button, but for the rest alpha = 0. The button the I want to show the symbol is the third one. I'm a bit confused on how to show this symbol according to the following code below.

When an instance variable is constructed by a constructor method, why do you need to refer to the current instance variable being created when its the only one being created? I understand assigning an expression to it but why name it "this." when it is the only object that the constructor is building? Does it have some hing to do with being able to naming that object in the Local Variable? In other words am I creating a generic object that will be named in another class?

I have a movie that uses a next and previous button. The next button works the same on every page calling a function that uses next(). The movie continues until it is told to stop. The previous button takes you directly to a specific frame in the movie. When running through and testing, if I go forward a frame and then back to the beginning and then add a frame every time, it seems to work fine. But if I go forward 3 times and back 2, or mix it up in any way, the previous button will only work once. Then after that you can go forward as much as you want, but you can only go back once. Each frame that has a previous button has a unique function.
Here is my code below:
stop();
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, Next);
Next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Next);
Previous_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Disclosure2);
