Flex :: Dynamically Creating Variables In Actionscript 3.0?
Mar 2, 2010
i'm loading several sound files, and want to error check each load. however, instead programming each one with their own complete/error functions, i would like them to all use the same complete/error handler functions.
a successfully loaded sound should create a new sound channel variable, while an unsuccessfully loaded sound will produce a simple trace with the name of the sound that failed to load. however, in order to do this, i need to dynamically create variables, which i haven't yet figured out how to do.
here's my code for my complete and error functions:
function soundLoadedOK(e:Event):void
{
//EX: Sound named "explosion" will create Sound Channel named "explosionChannel"
var String(e.currentTarget.name + "Channel"):SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

i am loading several images from an XML path into a flash movie and i want to dynamically create image loader variables for them. Here is my code so far:
Code:
var xmlData:XMLList;
var myXML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
method and this doesn't work for me either, i'm guessing thats because it is in the AS2 forum.

I'm still a noob with flash. But I'm attempting to make my website using itSo far I haveseveral swf files that are all loaded into a "index" swf file.So all the code needs to work with that chain of MC's:_root.LoadedContent_mc.LoadedContent2_mc.Page1_mcThats the path to where I am working..Page1:I'm attempting to create a downloads list here. I have a phpfile already worked out that scans the directories "downloads" and "imgs", and generates a list of file names. It then formats each file name into a path to that file. And turns each path into a variable that can be loaded into flash.So basically after php does its thing we are left with this:
Code:
File1=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile.rar&File2=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile1.rar&File3=Pages/PageData/Page1/Downloads/SomeTextFile10.rar&File4=Pages/PageDat

In my Flex application I am able to read the variables using something like /flexapp.html?name=josh with no problems. However, this is because I go into the URL and type in the variables by hand. Is there anyway in the code to dynamically append the variable part "?name=josh" ? For example, like retrieving the url and then adding that and then pointing to it?

I need to load all images that I have used in my project externally without embedding. The images are present either in skins or as icons for items in trees. I came across the IconUtility class here I was able to modify it and use it for trees but the problem is we cannot use iconutility for the same component to set 2 different skins (like for a button - upskin downskin). I was not able to think of a workaround with iconutility. Is it possible to simulate embed and create a class dynamically and return the class at runtime?

Isn't there some way to re-write the following code, such that I don't need a gigantic switch statement with every conceivable type? Also, if I can replace the switch statement with some way to dynamically create new controls, then I can make the code smaller, more direct, and don't have to anticipate the possibility of custom control types.Before:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical">

1) Using datefield as item renderer in flex.I am dynamically creating datagrid and its columns. like
dataGridColumn=new DataGridColumn();
dataGridColumn.dataField="invoiceDTO.invoiceDate";// I read this value from XML
dataGridColumn.editorDataField="selectedDate";
dataGridColumn.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(DateFieldRenderer);
dataGridColumn.rendererIsEditor=true;
But when UI is generated i get the error invoiceDTO.invoiceDate not found on the TestDTO
//Test DTO
public class TestDTO
{
public var invoiceDTO:InvoiceDTO;
}
My objective is my dataField should be binded with datafield inside the datagrid.How can i do it in actionscript
2) I need to present combobox as item renderer. (same like case 1). But how can i assign dataprovider in the combobox which is present inside the datagrid.

I need a List that resizes to exactly fit its content, unless that height exceeds its (dynamically sized) parent container. My requirements are as follows:
The component extends List, or at least acts similarly. variableRowHeight and wordWrap both equal to true. The height of the list cannot be less than minHeight (roughly 32px for scrollbar arrows). The height of the list cannot be greater than the height of the parent container .
Note that the parent container can be resized dynamically.
The height of the list should be updated as the size of both the contents and parent container changes.
Live updating would be preferable but not necessary.
There should be no scrollbars if the content height is less than the parent container height (sounds obvious, but I've had trouble with this too).
The trouble is that with variableRowHeight and wordWrap, it's very hard to know the size of the content at any given time. If the parent container's width is reduced, a line wrap may occur in the list which will change the height of the content. I know I can measure the height of the list content using measureHeightOfItems() + viewMetrics.top + viewMetrics.bottom, but when should I calculate that? What events should I listen for? And the thing I've had the most trouble with - when should I calculate it to set the size initially (i.e. just as the content has finished populating)?

I was wondering if it would be possible to use a for loop to create a couple hundred variables. I wanted to do this so I wouldn't need to type everything out. Right now it looks like:
Code:
var cardname1:int = 0;
var cardname2:int = 0;
var cardname3:int = 0;
[Code]....
Is there a way to create all of these using a for loop?

using flash to create XML, and most tutorials I find on the subject deal with opening external XML files and parsing them in flash, not using flash to make them.Here's my code:
Code:
function saveSong(e:MouseEvent):void
{
for(var i = 0; i < myStaff.staffArray.length; i++)
[code]....
What I am trying to do is create a <measure> element for each item in my array, and then 8 <line> elements in each measure. I'll populate these <line> elements with data later.
Here's what the trace is giving me:
<song>
<measure>
<line></line>
[code]....
The problem I have is that empty space in the first line of <measure>. How do I prevent this from occurring? I can see I will have the same problem when I go to populate the <line> elements as well.

I'm trying to create a template for a drag and drop question. I want to assign which option belongs to the correct target.Each draggable option is called "drag1, drag2, drag3, etc.". (created on the stage) Each target is called "target1, target2, target3, etc." When a button is clicked, the correct answer is checked using a simple if loop and the user is told which ones are correct.
Code:
if (drag1._y = target1._y) {
//show if correct or incorrect

how would I make Flash create a jpg or png file of what was currently on screen dynamically? I would like to know how to go about doing this and I'm sure it probably involves some other scripting language (PHP?) also.

My game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?
Code:
function newBall() {
var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

I would like to be able to create and call an Array dynamically. So to pass a name through a function and create an array based on that name.Then to store values into sections in the array. I got the creating the array dynamically working, but I can't seem to store into it.
Code:
Sort = function (numOfVars,Name,toSort){
This works
_global[Name] = New Array(New Array (),New Array());
This does not work
_global[Name][i][c]= 3
This does not work
_global[Name + "[i][c]"]= 3
This does not work
_global[[Name][i][c]]= 3
}

I have two MCs classesThe first one is put on the stage. Then, from the first MC class (inside the class), i put another MC. So i created a MC inside the first MC.I can see both MC when i test my movie.I put the second MC when the mouse cursor is over the first MC, and i remove it when the mouse cursor is out the first MC.My problem is that when the mouse cursor is over the second MC, the movie behaves like the mouse cursor goes out of the first MC, so the second MC is removed, so i can't click on it.

I want to create some buttons dynamically (so i will be able to add images to the gallery without replacing the SWF) and assign each of these buttons an on(release) or on(press) event handler that will show the image for that button

I'm using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0 and I'm trying to create buttons dynamically.I tried to follow the code in the link below. The code is correct for the most part but the only problem I have is that only the last button appears. For example, if I try to create 10 buttons, only the 10th button is created.

I've been trying to create a scrollpane dynamically but I keep getting a bunch of errors when I publish the swf. At first I thought maybe there was a problem with my code so then I looked in the file and copied and pasted one of there examples into a blank fla and I still get the same errors when I publish. If I look at what is the source of the errors it looks like the error originates at this section of the ScrollPane.as file:
Code:
override protected function drawBackground():void {
var bg:DisplayObject = background;
