Actionscript 3 :: Dynamically Create Multiple TextFields Based On Array.length

May 4, 2011

What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.

I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.

//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Sizing A Group Of Textfields Based On Font Size?

Oct 24, 2009

I have made a UI control which contains a bunch of TextFields representing the members of an Array. I draw these un a list like in a combo box's drop down. Currently I hard code the height of the TextFields, iterate through the Array and position the TextFields by adding the hard coded height each time. Simple enough.
But now I would like to put the control in another place where I must use smaller text. So I would like to make the thing general so I can resuse it whenever I want, simply by applying a new TextFormat. My problem is that I want to still be able to position the TextFields accurately regardless of the font size used in the TextFormat. I have tried just creating the TextField, applying the TextFormat, setting the text, and then trying to read the TextField's height, but alas this does not work.
 
what the best way is to find each TextField's height so that I can build my list?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Loop Based On Array Length, Splice?

Feb 4, 2011

I have an array with many values pushed into it (happen to be names of objects). I am using a for loop to check all of the objects (by index number) for collisions, etc. Periodically, depending on a condition, I want to remove the currently checked object's name from the array list. I noticed that there is a problem if I immediately splice the checked name from the list. Namely, the list gets shorter, which is what I want, but not until I'm done checking all objects. Is it a good idea to solve the issue by incrementing i-- after the splice? I do this so that the object that used to be next in the list doesn't get skipped.It seems to work very well but I want to know if this is a lame/problematic solution and if there are any better ways of dealing with it

for (i=0;i<myarray.length;i++){
var ob=myarray[i]
//any old condition

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Create TextFields And Still Access Them?

Mar 18, 2009

in AS3, How can I dynamically create TextFields and still be able to access them individually?for example, a for/next loop creates 3 textFields:

for (var num:Number = 0; num<3; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField;
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}

now say later on, I want to change the text of one of the textfields:

txtFld.text = 'This is the new Text';

The problem is, in the variable list, there is only one txtFld, the last one created. How can I access the other textFields?

Actionscript 3 :: Remove Equally Spaced Elements From An Array With Length Of 'n' To Match A Given Length 'y'?

Mar 9, 2011

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.

Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Loaded Dynamic TextFields Length Of Stage?

Apr 29, 2009

Am trying to create a scrolling sidebar(top to bottom). Within this sidebar, dynamic textFields are being created and populated with XML. The XML is of "Sporting Events". Within each "Sporting Event" 3 variables exist, Name, Location & Date. What I've got, is AS loading the XML and populating ONE "Sporting Event" (3 textFields with name, location & date). I have to specify the position on stage of the textFields, not very dynamic if i'm to have numerous, but they work.

What has me contemplating jumping off the roof right now, is trying to understand how I'm to create an infinite number of textFields (only room for 10 "Sporting Events" (30 total textFields) on stage at a time), and have them continuously load the XML with different "Sporting Events". As they scroll off the stage, either they unload, remove, die or however's best.

I've tried creating an array and inserting the textFields into it, then running it through a for loop to load the XML. I can't get it to work properly, because I don't understand how to create infinite textFields, increment the XML and load it to the next available textField.

the idea is to create a loop to that displays 16 cards face down in two rows and eight columns using either a "for" loop or "while" loop, execute 16 times once for each clip.use new to dynamically create card instances based on the Movie Clip symbol in the library.use a modulo operator to operate the x position of each clip use Math.floor to operate the y position of each clip set dynamic text value of the card clip to show appropriate card number add card to the display list if using the iteration variable ("while" loop).this is what i am using and i get one card (the stack of 16) in the bottom left hand corner with a 16 trace statements of "instance 2"

//create variable for number of columns
var numberOfColumns=8;
