Actionscript 3 :: Adding Items From An Array Multiple Times To The Stage
Feb 16, 2011
I have a for loop wich passes 11 times:
private var currentItem:uint;
for(var i:uint = 0;i<10;i+){
addChild(arr[currentItem]);
[Code]....
So the problem is that the array only contains 6 items. So when it comes to the 6th item the currentItem resets and the next 4 items that are getting added are the 4 first from the array again. Now when i trace the items, the last 4 trace "null". how can i add items from the array multiple times without losing its properties etc?

What I am trying to achieve is to remove an array (containing a single MovieClip multiple times) from the stage alltogether, once you call an end public function. I can remove all the other Movieclips on stage (that are not in the array) using this.removechild(MyChild) The array is located in a package, calling another package where the MC is located, and put on stage with Event.ENTER_FRAME.

I've run into a bit of a snag regarding a project I'm working on. The code below sets up the mc holder which includes two dynamic text fields sFloor and sCompany these get their contents from an xml file. YAU is one of the additional mc's that I need added at runtime depending on the number shown in the sFloor field.
Code:
var nameHolder:holder;
var nameHolderX:Number = 145;
var nameHolderY:Number = 267;
var YAU:upArrow = new upArrow();
This is the code that add's the holder mc 25 times vertically down and populates the sFloor and sCompany text fields with what's in the XML file
Code:
function loadText():void {
var txtLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
txtLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
txtLoader.load(new URLRequest("XMLfile.xml"));
removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
[Code] .....
it all works fine except that the "YAU" added mc is only added into the last instance on the list (which is the correct number) but I need it to add to any of them that meet the condition.

I have entered the following code and both items do import, but i cant control the label of the second library item called "Cool"After doing some digging, i think i found out the class name of the second object was called "Cool" and the base class was "import flash.display.SimpleButton;" so it looked like i had to import that class at the top like i did! But still not working. and still no joy!I think i need to add in "public class Cool extends SimpleButton" so it inherits the SimpleButton class after the first public class and then create a new function called "public function Cool() " and then add the function body but when i go to do that it all goes wrong. Am i on the right track or am i missing a trick!!
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I am using a service that returns JSON (geonames.org) and I'm putting the result in an array and dumping it to a datagrid. Now that works fine for one city like this [URL].. However, I want to call this service multiple times with different city names, so I created an XML list ad figured I would iterate over the city list and get the results.
My question is how do I do this such that 1) all the lists are combined into one arraycollection and 2) this seems like I will have to chain the calls and wait for results which may or may not come back, so I thought I would ask the group about the best practice, and or resources to read and examples to build from.

I've got a combo box adding items from an array. The labels are working just fine, but adding the data with a variable won't work for me. If I put in an actual number, I get that result, but trying to add it with a variable I always get 1 as a result. classData only ever = 1. I can access the array. I know it must be in the syntax.[code]

The buttons search and find the movie clip in the array flawlessly, but I'm having trouble adding a transition to every movie clip as it is appears. Most tutorials on transitions require a specific instance name, but I want ALL instances to have a transition. Heard the .getChildAt() method is the way to go but cannot find solid guidance on this. Here is the basic code:
Quote:
var myDishArray = [chicken, steak, tuna, pasta, iceCream];
for each (var btn in myDishArray) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDishBtnClick);
[code]....
how do I properly use the transition manager or add a transition code?

Code:
function AddYCoins():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var Ycoin:YCoin = new YCoin();
[Code]...
This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!

I am animating a number of items using the Move effect. I am adding each item to an array after it has been added to the display list and once all items are added calling the play method, passing an array of the items to it. Only the last item plays in my animation.
Here is my code:
MXML: s:Move id="coinFall" yFrom="-400" duration="2000" />
public function showCoins(n:Number):void{

Trying to add MC's to the stage from the library using their class name, but its not working out. I'm convinced the below should work, but it does not so there must be something wrong.I get the following error:TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at tesVars2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I understand how to import a swf and add it to the stage. Is it possible (using code) to add the one imported swf to the stage multiple times, each with different instance names? So the same as adding a library item to the stage multiple times, each time with a different instance name, with code, but using an imported swf?

I'm creating a game in ActionScript 3.0 using the FlashPunk game engine and the FlashDevelop SDK. I've created my own MovieClip class that takes a preloaded movie clip file.
public function MyMovieClip(file:MovieClip, posX:int, posY:int, frameRate:int)
{
movieClip = file;
[Code]....
The problem that I'm having is that when I have multiple instances of the MyMovieClip class using the same swf file, only the last instance is rendered and is updated for each instance of the class that I have.(e.g 3 instances of MyMovieClip, the last instance is updates at 3 times the speed.)

I have problems adding different movieclips to stage with the new MovieClip() command,
See EX.1>>
Here is what I have come up with:
var shape:Array = [new Shape1(), new Shape2(), new Shape3(), new Shape4()];
for(var i:int=0; i<shape.length; i++)
{[code]....
What if I need to add more than 4? It seems a bit troublesome to write the full numbers of movieclips in the array.
var shape:Array = [new Shape1(), new Shape2(), new Shape3(), new Shape4()], new Shape1(), new Shape2(), new Shape3(), new Shape4() .......];
On another note, I have 4 menu item with different width, how can I space them out nicely along x-axis one after another dynamically?

I am attempting to push an object into an array based on its instance name on the stage...how do I do this?
On my stage I've simply made a box, turned it into a movie clip named "mcBox" and have given it an instance name of "box_mc" on the stage. Here is my current test code:
Code:
var energy:Number = 0.75;
var boxArray:Array = new Array;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
[Code]....
Since the default amount of energy satisfies the if statement I push the movieClip into the array and then trace it. In my output I receive "[object MovieClip]"...is there anyway to distinguish it by its instance name?

I have a series of images I'm adding to stage from the library. I need them in separate movie clips for tweening. If I create a new layer... add a shape to the layer... mask the layer... finally, add a layer below that layer (with nothing on it) then all of the images I've added from the library are masked. No matter what I try with code however, I can only get one image to be masked. must you create a new mask for each image you would like to mask? I thought maybe if I could do it all in one go on a layer, there must be some code that allows one shape/mc/object to mask several clips.

I want to move my multiple externally loaded images a little each time they are added to the stage along the x axis via the Loader class. It all works - But HOW do I access the added graphic synatically, so i can change its x pos?! Ive tried picLoader.x ... but that's the Loader - NOT the image...??

I am trying to create a card game (deck of 24 cards/6 cards will be dealt to the stage at one time (3 arrays)).
I want 6 cards to be dealt to the stage when you click the "Deal" button. I think i have the loop set up properly, the first array traces, however i can't get the cards to be added to the stage. What am i doing wrong? Once i get the first set of cards to be built to the stage, i will want to remove the previous set and the second set will be dealt to the stage once the "Deal" button is clicked again.
//code
var aArray = new Array();
aArray[0]=Card1;
aArray[1]=Card2;

add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?

Does one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?

I have a list of 10+ items. when i click back up the list 1 step i call the code below to remove a thumbnail image associated with that list item.
if(indice < count-i){mx.core.Application.application.removethumb.dispat chEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));
}
HOWEVER: I would like that if - for example i am on item 10 and click to item 4 - all the thumbnails between 4-10 are removed. it it possible to dispatch this click event X number of times dependant on the - count value?? FOR REFERENCE: THIS IS THE CODE THAT REMOVES ALL ITEMS BEYOND THE ONE I HAVE SELECTED:
