ActionScript 3.0 :: AddEventListener To Dynamically Named MC?
Apr 3, 2012I'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.

Dynamically Create A Uniquely Named Loader?
Oct 20, 2010I 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Dynamically Named Functions?
Apr 13, 2011So 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.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Access Dynamically Named Array Data?
Nov 16, 2010I'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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Collision-detection Between Dynamically Named Movieclips
May 25, 2004I 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Named Movieclip In A Movieclip?
Dec 13, 2009I have created a new instance of a movieclip and named it in as3.
I want to put this in another movieclip. How does this effect the reference because everything seems fine while the dynamic movieclip is just dealing with the stage. As soon as I put it in a movieclip, I get:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com::Gallery/instancesOut()
Heres part of my code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++){ var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition();
addChild(transition); transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; transition.x = i * 100;
I can reference using the string name but if I put the addchild in a movieclip it errors

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Accessing The Arrays?
Feb 2, 2007I've have a question about dynamically accessing arrays. I'm going to have a number of arrays, char_a, char_b, char_c, etc.....
The values of these arrays will be used to load in other movie clips, x, y, scale, color, etc...
_root.char_a =[15,20,100]
I have a function to load in movie clip based on a given array, the variable I'm passing to the function is going to be a, b, c, etc... So if I pass 'a' to the function I want to load in the movie clip based on the values in "char_a", [15,20,100].
function loadCharLoc(name) {
x = this['_root.char_' + name][0];
y = this['_root.char_' + name][1];
moviename = 'grid_char_'+name;
_root.main_grid.attachMovie(moviename, moviename, getNextHighestDepth(), {_x, _y:y});
When I trace the values of x or y I get undefined.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Objects?

then later, i want to changet the text of one of the TextFields, how can I do that? The only instance listed in the variables is a single instance of "txtFld" and it is the last one that is created. How can I access the others?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Movieclips
Nov 21, 2008I have an application that I am adding movieclips to a container movieclip through a for loop and repeatedly calling myClip.addChild(theNewClip). Now I have a dozen clips in my container and it seems like the only way to access the clip is to use the getChildByName() method and cast it into a temporary clip so I can get at the its properties.
Is this the best and/or only way to do this? Does the old AS2 myContainer["theName"].property not work with dynamically created movieclips? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Object Properties Dynamically?
Jun 21, 2007I have a custom property called Player (like a basketball player) that has properties for points per game (ppg), rebounds per game (rpg), etc.I'm designing a piece where users can get averages and compare players across many different categories.
I have a String variable "stat" that tracks which property they want to compare. I can use "stat" in a sorton function, but need to use it to access the object property. So when the user chooses "ppg" or "rpg" i can access Player.ppg and Player.rpg by using the stat variable. Player.stat doesn't work.

Actionscript 3 :: Accessing External Library Symbols Dynamically?
Aug 14, 2010I am loading an external SWF containing uninstantiated MovieClip Symbols. I can get the SWF loaded, no problem. If I call:loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition( "TestClip" ) as ClassI get the class of a Library symbol called "TestClip", which I can then instantiate. Jawesome.The issue I'm having is that basically I want to have access to all of the Library symbols without needing to explicitly know their names. I was hoping to use:
describeType( loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain );
...to get reflective access to the Library symbols, but the XML returned doesn't seem to include any references to them. Perhaps I'm calling it on the wrong object? I also don't want to have to explicitly create coded instances to gain access. This is for a tool for Flash artists, and it's important to avoid code, even simple code.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Movie Clips?
Aug 23, 2010I'm trying to build a relatively simple photo gallery where the images are loaded via XML into thumbnail movieclips that have been dynamically generated, positioned and added to the display stack. I used a simple for loop to generate the thumbs and traced the thumb.name to make sure they all had unique instance names. I then added a listener to the thumb mcs in the for loop and created a function that traces the instance name of each thumb mc, to see if all is working, however, every thumb mc traces the same instance name. My question is how can I create the thumbs dynamically in a loop and, essentially, make them buttons that would display the big the full size photo.
Here is my prototype code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = new thumb();
// Positioning: The xy coordinates are in an array outside the for loop.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Dynamically Declaring/accessing Objects?
Dec 8, 2010So heres my code in my main game loop:
Code:
if (! initialized)

for (var c = 1; c < 1000; c++)
[Code].....
The error given is "1120: Access of undefined property particle4." However, everything traces correctly, but the individual particles cannot be accessed outside of the loop. Eventually I want to add the next particle at the mouse position on every click, but obviously I can't do that without being able to access the individual particles. I also read about having to use getChildByName() to access names set in AS3, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
