I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI want to add a series of event listeners. they work fine in individual lines of code:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
but when i use this loop, i get a 1006 error, "value is not a function":
ActionScript Code:
var buttonNumber:Number;
var buttonName:Array=new Array("home","resume","portfolio","contact");
for (buttonNumber=0;buttonNumber<4;buttonNumber++) {
buttonName[buttonNumber].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,route); }
is there something obvious that's wrong with my last line in that loop? i've narrowed it down to the part where I call the array value. but after that - I'm at a loss!
I am trying to add event listeners to a series of buttons using a for loop but can't get the event listeners to trace the name of which button was rolled over. Here's a simplified version of the code.
ActionScript Code:
var bgArray:Array = new Array();//array to hold my sprites
for (var i:Number = 0; i<8; i++)

I am creating an app with Papervision, and I'm trying to create an interactive grid.I have created a for loop to lay out each tile of the grid, but I want each tile to be individually interactive. I have tried a few things but no luck so far. This is basically how far I am:
Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 10; i++) {
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 10; j++) {

Everything works fine except MouseEvent.CLICK addEventListener.menuInfo variable contains part of defined instace name.cURL contains full URL to link.If I trace menuInfo variable, it outputs correctly in order as I exptected.But last event overwrites everything to last element of xList (contains XML list).How do I make this work correctly
Code:
function createMenuEventListener(xList:XMLList):void
{

Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
teacherOptions.btnAction[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnAction);
}
I have 3 buttons inside the teacherOptions movie clip and they are called
btnAction0
btnAction1
btnAction2
The code I am using doesn't seem to work...I don't want to create an event listener for each of the buttons beacuse they are going to be a lot more than 3, how can I do what I want to do but without errors ??
PD: I know that if the buttons weren't a suboject the correct code would be:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
this["btnAction" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnAction);
}
But when it's a subobject you are dealing...things change.
I'm having a problem with the CLICK and navigateToURL part of my scripting. The roll states work fine. I'm getting this error message and am not sure why.

I have a script that contains: an array of movieclips -> MaxBallArr
another array of movieclips -> MaxBallLrg

I have four buttons with eventListeners that call four different functions. Each function name starts with the button name. like this:

btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btn3function);

I have 14 movie clips on the stage, each of which has it's own on and off mode and each goes to a separate URL.I would like to use loops to consolidate the code however I am having trouble with the handler.So far I am using the code below but the question is how do you give each button it's own functionality since the handler is the same?
Code:
for (var i:uint = 1; i < 3; i++) {
this["lexus"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, manageMouseOver);

This code keeps coming back with the same value for i when the button is clicked. It is looping through but only the last value gets passed.

I have an array of buttons - for example "Save & Exit", "Cancel" and "Exit". When one of the buttons is hit I call "button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayMessage);". In displayMessage, I have a switch statement to determine what button is depressed. However, I don't know how to identify what button is pressed. See question marks below:
private static function handleMenu():void {
// Determine which menu button was pressed
switch (????) {

I have an array of MovieClips containing about 200 MovieClips, each have its specific x & y positions on the stage & I have another array of TextFields of about 200 corresponding TextFields to MovieClips. What I'm hardly trying to do is to make a loop of "addEventListener" for the MovieClips that will result in appearance of the corresponding TextField alone when I move the mouse over a certain MovieClip, that is a tooltip for each MovieClip alone, while they are all gathered in an array.
View 12 RepliesI have a file with a many button instances, the names of which I've put into 2 different arrays. I'm adding an eventListener to each button dynamically using the forEach...in method. I want the buttons in the first array to call a function and the buttons in the second array to call a different function. I'm getting no errors on compilation, but my problem is that buttons in both arrays are calling both functions.
<code>
var btnList:Array = [bRed, bBlue, bPurple, bGold, bGreen];var greenList:Array = [gb1, gb2, gb3, gb4, gb5, gb6, gb7, gb8, gb9, gb10, gb11, gb12, gb13, gb14];

I have an array of movieclips that represent buttons the user can click on them, and so I need to use addEventListener function so the click can be handled. I can use a loop and create en addEventListener for each element, I'll have 26 elements in the array, but I want to try another solution by using only one addEventListener and apply it on the array instead of the elements. I want to know how to recognize which button was clicked, I mean what's its index in the array.

I have this flash movie I've been working on for awhile. I've received in these forums. I have my file set to load an array of swfs. Now, though, I'm wondering how to keep it from looping. At the end of the last swf, I want the movie to go to the last swf and then just stop. Here is my code:
[Code]...
I've a container file which loads an array of SWFs. The code is as follows:
var request:URLRequest;
var loader:Loader= new Loader();
stage.addChild(loader);
var myMovies:Array=["../flash/movie1.swf","../flash/movie2.swf", "../flash/movie3.swf"];
var movieNum:int=0;
var mcExternal:MovieClip;

This works fine - the array is loaded and plays through once... What changes are needed to get it to loop through the array.
how can i set an array by using a loop.. the array is contains by a data that i read from database.. so the length of carry depend of the length of data in my database..
i try to use
for (var i:int = 0; i < xxx; i++) {
products = [p[i]];
}
i never read data from database in as3.. so if i want to use the data in database for this loop,what should i do?
if you could run a loop in an array?
I'm having to make an array that has each value increase by a 10, like 10, 20, 30, etc. is there an easier way to put in those values without adding them 'manually'?
and I have another question that is related. For this same project, on the stage there will be a text box and the user will put in a number--how can that value be run through the array? like say I input the number 500, how does it find it in the array? is there a passed id, a listener and a broadcaster?
i got stucked in a problem in actionscript 2.0
there is a 2d array - arr[12][13]
how can we start a loop to copy the value(using for loop) in manner:
a1=arr[0][0]
a2=arr[0][1]
a3=arr[0][2][code].....
I have an array like this:
Code:
var myData = new Array();
myData["name"] = "John";
myData["Age"] = 35;
What is the syntax to loop through and get the key and value? I have tried for each and for in but they just give me the value of "John" or "35", how can I get the key e.g. "Name" and "Age"?
Is there a simple equivalent to what I used to do in AS2 to add a bunch of new objects to the stage and throw them into an array so they can easily be referenced? I'm finding this more difficult than it used to be.
Old code:
ActionScript Code:
mc_array = new Array();
for(i=0;i<5;i++){

Consider an array with x number of elements (of type Object) where some of the elements might be undefined.I use a for-each loop to access all the elements of the array that is not undefined (since it simply skips the undefined elements).But I also want the index of that particular element.The only option I can see is to use indexOf(). But it feels a bit like looking for water on the other side of the river so to speak.
When looping through long arrays each frame, is there a change indexOf() might slow it down? or does the for-each loop somehow know what index it's dealing with?
I am quite new to AS3 and I am having trouble adapting my knowledge of Java to this new language i am trying to make a simple grid in which i could work on each individual square seperately(changing their colour for example). To do so, I created a 2D array,hoping it would allow me to work with some kind of coordinates system. I initialised the array using while loops and for some reason, this does not let me access the array outside the loops.[code]The two last lines are causing the problem, instead of turning the last square red, they return the following error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.However, when placed inside the loop, there is no problem and the whole grid turns red.
