IDE :: Complex Loop CurrentTarget Variables
Feb 1, 2010
i'm trying to create a menu system where each item expands in height when clicked but is then collapsed back to the original state when other items are clicked.m is the height of the expanded state. n is the height of the collapsed state. i is the number tacked on the instance name.Also, I'm using Tweener for smoother transitions. I've done this already by copying out the code but it's 24 items so 24x24 lines of code when I'd like to be able to do it a little more elegantly. Here's roughly what I want to do, but don't know if it's possible:[code]So every box below the one that's been clicked on most recently gets the value of m added to the y value and every box above doesn't.Is it possible to retrieve the value of the variable i that corresponds to the currentTarget?

How can I make a bunch of variables from a for loop. for example for (var i=0; i<total; i++) {var bunch(i);}. that i make a bunch of variables named bunch1, bunch2, bunch3. I keep getting errors. I program and use so many different languages that I dont know if that can be done with AS3. my only other alternative i can think of is to create some sort of event dispatcher object array. but I dont know how to get them all to send events to one listener with there index number.

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

Is it possible to use a for loop to "combine" array variables..g.
Actionscript Code:

i'm trying to use a for loop to generate for me a set of vars, but it's not really working out. =.=.
I'm loading the image file names from a xml, and i want that the for loop create vars like "fotoToLoad0, fotoToLoad1 ..." and load the filename within.
I guessed i had to use the eval command, but as far as my ignorance sees it, when it is used, the eval makes a variable reffer to another and not fill it's value. (I guess i'm wrong thou).
Here's what i've tried so far:
Code:
for (i=0; i< totalNodes; i++){
var fotoEnd = imagesXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.firstChild;
var fotoTemp = eval ('fotoToLoad'+i);
fotoTemp = fotoEnd;
That's quite not working thou =(. If i try used 'fotoToLoad1" for example, in a text box it just returns undefined

I used to dynamically set some variables using a FOR loop kinda like so PHP Code:
//Sorry, from memory
var possibleValues:Array = ["red","green","blue","yellow"];
for (i=0;i<possibleValues._length;i++){
_root["colorNumber"+i] = possibleValues[i];
}
Second question, using that code in a function would set the variables at the root level making them available throughout the timeline. Without "_root" how do I get that variable available to everything?

I'm trying to get specific variables out of a for each loop. These variables are used to display a click event on a marker on a map. If you click the marker on the map, the details pop over it. Now these details are being overwritten each time the loop starts (50 times). The solution I'm looking for, let's me select a marker on the map with the according detail attached to it.
There might be an easy solution but I haven't found it yet.
The code : for each(artistXML in artistList.events.event)

i'm having trouble creating an image preloader with a loop. my apologies, this might be a very simple task that i've been pulling my hair out over for an hour.
i have 8 UIloaders. each named image1,image2,image3, etc. they are inside a movie clip called "allClips_mc".
this VERY long, redundant code works:
Code:
magicBox_mc.allClips_mc.n1.image1.source = "newsClips/images/newscast01.jpg";
magicBox_mc.allClips_mc.n2.image2.source = "newsClips/images/newscast02.jpg";
magicBox_mc.allClips_mc.n3.image3.source = "newsClips/images/newscast03.jpg";
magicBox_mc.allClips_mc.n4.image4.source = "newsClips/images/newscast04.jpg";

Here's what I've got:
var cColor1:Color = new Color(mcBut1.mcFill);
var cColor2:Color = new Color(mcBut2.mcFill);
var cColor3:Color = new Color(mcBut3.mcFill);
var cColor4:Color = new Color(mcBut4.mcFill);
var cColor5:Color = new Color(mcBut5.mcFill);
What I'd like to do is write a loop to handle all that code in less code. So, how do I define variables using variables?
Something like:
for (var i:Number = 1; i < 6, i++) {
var cColor+i = new Color(eval("mcBut"+i).mcFill);
}

I want to declare 8 variables at the class level like this:
Code:
private var graphicDesign1:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign2:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign3:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign4:Sprite;

But I would like to do it with a for loop. Is that possible? If so i'm doing it wrong this is what I have.
Code:
for(var i = 1; i < 9; i++){

The plan is to set up variables to react to a flashvars value like this:

There would be many mainVars (over 100, actually) and this setup isn't working.

I'm using a few for() loops to populate my game. Now, I have 2 versions of each function, one that executes when my variable "debug" exists, and the other that activates only if "debug" does not exist.Looks kinda like this:
ActionScript Code:
// first, if debug exists, the script will execute for the single instance of my movie clip "myBox_0".
if(debug){
// assign a value to the string "myTarget"
[code]....
Now, on the line I starred*, if I enter "images/0" instead of what you read there, then it works. But when I try to use the variable "i" then it gives me the error "Error opening URL 'images/undefined.png'" I ran a trace statement to track "i" through the code and it works up until I enter the tellTarget statement... how can I get my script to pass that variable through that statement?

in the looping code, when i use a variable, for example "myVar"
Can i make the variable name be "myVar0" in the first time looping, and the name be "myVar1" in the second time looping, and so on ..

Is there a way to make the variables generated from a for loop within a function accessible to other functions? because at the moment other functions are firing errors because the variables refferenced are from a different function.
You may of seen this code from other threads
ActionScript Code:
function nodePoints():void {
//VarName, mcName, XPos, YPos
var row1:Array = ["clientComp", new clientComp(), 100, 200];

I can't create new variables within a for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) {
var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite();
}
This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.
What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.
