ActionScript 2.0 :: Array For Naming Buttons And Loading Movies

Nov 30, 2010

I've got about 50 buttons onstage with names like btn1a_mc, btn2B_mc, etc. Each one loads an external swf (called "Monosem1Aslideshow.swf", where the "1A" corresponds to the button name.) into a movieclip holder called slideHolder_mc. I'm trying to use an array instead of writing code for each button. I'm using the following:

Code:
buttonNumber = ["1A", "2B", "3C", "4D", "1E", "2F", "3G"];
for(i=0; i<buttonNumber.length; i++){
var btnName:String = "btn"+[i]+"_mc";

[Code].....

But I can't seem to get it to work.

AS3 :: IDE - Dynamically Naming Movieclips?

Sep 23, 2009

Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.

for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

AS3 :: Variable Naming With Loops And Arrays?

Aug 1, 2009

I am wanting to create an array. 10 values in it (couting from 0 index to 9). Each 'place holder' will have a corresponding value to it;s index i.e.

myArray[0]=0
myArray[1]=1 etc...

I can do that in a for loop. But then I want to attach each value to a single variable name. I then want to change that each variable to a string. I then want access to all the variables outside of the for loop.

var i:Number;
var aArray:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {

[code]....

The output error is 1084: expecting identifier before aArray.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Frame Variables?

Jul 29, 2007

I created a slot machine and it works properly but i need it to do more. Currently when you spin the Reel, if you get any 4 of a kind its a jackpot. I need it so if you hit 4 "7's" lets say its different than hitting 4 "Bar's".On the main reel I have 4 frames with movie clips, each having a different (chip) and the end. I have set the random() function on them so it is completely random on how they hit. So my question is...how do I set a variable name for the frames so I know that frame 1 is a "bar", frame 2 is a "7", frame 3 is a "cherry" and so on. That way when I write the "if" statements, I can compare them so a "7" is better than a "bar".

ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Parts Of Xml To Call?

Apr 9, 2008

i created a flash menu that calls its items from an xml document. the menu items are images that scroll within the menu movie clip depending on mouse position. my problem is that, when clicked, each of these menu items needs to call a pretty complex function.

so this seems like a really basic question, but, is there a tag or something i can use in the xml file to like, name each of the items so that i can write functions with them individually with my actionscript in flash?
