I have an application in which I need to create mx.states.State objects on the fly, as I'm reading external data in order to create the states. Each State only has a single child, so here's my code which I was using to accomplish this[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a mobile app where I have 3 states in it. There is the default portrait and landscape and I would to add a third state that includes the other two.
<s:states>
<s:State name="portrait"/>
<s:State name="landscape"/>
[code].....
I wanna add dynamically (at runtime) new states to a container and, to this states, add different elements (like TextInput, Label etc.). This must be done from actionscript, I don't use any mxml file. I can add states and change properties or styles for different elements, but I didn't figured out how to add child elements for different states.

I am creating a generic website that would have abstract MCs that would load jpg or TXT fields for the user interface to allow for fast updates to the site. The MCs that would make up the user interface would be empty and load things into it using XML or PHP later on. How would I create button states for the user interface MCs. I started creating a function for every MC button state but I thought there might be a more efficient way.
and is using URLRequest the way to link to pages with in a movie well the flash movie that is the site it's self?

I am trying to create a simple pie chart that has rollover states, and when clicked brings up a first column of text, then when a field is clicked brings up a second column and then a third. There will be around 100 different text fields show up. Now at this stage I have about 40 functions setup and about 25 event listeners and I havent even started on the text fields yet.
My question is do I need to continually write new functions for text to appear, then a second to disappear and trigger the next filed OR is this what Variables are for?
I think this sounds very confusing so I have attached the file. Please help as I have a crazy deadline on this and simply can't work it out, unless I continue on my road of endless functions.
I have requirement in AdvancedDataGrid.In Advanced Data Datagrid with columns checkbox,textfield, textarea,button,radiobutton. and ADD Button and SUBMIT Button. When i click on ADD Button, those above all fields are need to add dynamically in next row.If i click 10 times on ADD Button, 10 rows with all above fileds need to be added.
View 2 RepliesIn one area of my application I am creating a display that builds itself with actionscript during a loop. (in my actual app there are A LOT of nested children and my function might be looking for any of those children) In that AS I assign each item an ID, but when I try to access that item by it's id it fails. What gives? and how can I accomplish finding a UI component without having to go through knowing all of it's possible parents? [code]
View 1 RepliesI'm having a text box on my stage and I want to change the text dynamically from the actions.What I did was:
1. Create a text box a put it on stage
2. convert it to symbol. It is an instance of volPercent and the name is volPercent_
3. I put this code on the actions for that frame
volPercent_.text = "[100%]";
The error I get is 1120: Access of undefined property volPercent.
Assign actions for a mc created dynamically?
View 3 RepliesI used a loop to create a series of instances of a class called "Ball": ball_0, ball_1, ball_2, etc.But then somewhere else I need to add them on the stage. When Iusestage.addChild(Ball("ball_"+ballNum)) it gives me this error:TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "ball_3" to Ball.(ballNum was set to 3 at that time)it seems there's a new syntax (or something) that I don't get. I get the same type of errors when using other functions such as stage.contains()

View 1 RepliesI am making an image gallery and have so far got buttons that display a group of movie clips inside another movie clip. onclick { _root.attachMovie ("group","group",1) } or something, from the top of my head.
I now need to make it so that each movie clip inside "group" displays another movie clip, "image". How do I do this, seeing as they are dynamically loaded?
I was wondering where did go the for statement with attachMovie from library in AS 3.I mean i was having in AS 2:
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
attachMovie("sim", "sim"+i, i);
}
Now in AS 3:
for (var i=0; i<5; i++) {
addChild(new sim());
}
I can't figure out how to name every instance of the "sim" object from library that i add to the stage without using string.How do I dinamically name the added instances of the object from the library for future reference and usage throughout the code?
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
var index:int = 0;[code].......
I am relatively new to flash and action script as well and I am having a problem getting the sprite to be removed after another is called.I am making emission spectrum's of 3 elements by dynamically generating the mask over a picture on the stage. Everything works perfectly fine with the code I have right now except the sprites stack on top of each other and I end up with bold lines all over my picture instead of a new set of lines each time i press a button.I have tried using try/catch to remove the sprites and I have also rearranged the entire code from what is seen here to make 3 seperate entities (hoping I could remove them if they were seperate variables) instead of 2 functions that handle the whole process.
I'm trying to dynamically set the addChild linkage identifier, but am having little luck.
Code:
for(i=0;i<6;i++){
if(i==this.myId){
var section:MovieClip = "section"+i
this.addChild(new section);
}}
In AS 2.0 I could simply do this:
Code:
attachMovie("section"+i, "section",0)
I want to addChild to stage dynamically using a variable. In AS2, i would have done it using eval().
In the attached page1.as file, I want to be able to use the for() loop instead of the commented out code.
I'm working in Flex 4.1, and I have a viewstack and tabbar as my main navigation. A user logs into the application and should then only be able to see what tabs are available to his user level.I am trying to stick with MXML as much as possible, since it works well with the framework. But I'm goin numb thinking about this. What are the common practices for doing this?FYI: the user level is slightly to complex for states. There are lots of options, way to many to comfortably do w/ states and state groups.
Chimp is a pretty cool library for those interested. It's a little old and there doesn't seem to be much motivation to expand it past UIComponents. So for my purposes it wont do.Again, what do you do for setting up these systems?PDATE: I had to compromise, but it actually worked out pretty well in the end. Instead of destructively laying on permissions (having everything available at first and removing the elements thereafter), the system now works constructively. Here's a sample:
[Bindable]
public var managePage:ManagePage;
[Bindable]

I'm interested in finding out the best approach to this issue, it's not technically difficult but there must be an elegant solution. Basically i have a form that features mostly text inputs, i would like to change the style of the input boxes based on the current state. I can do this in the mxml on each input...

I'm about to start a project where there will be a Flash application where the visitor customizes a profile with externally loaded images and texts. Then the visitor needs to be able to download that profile as a dynamically created swf with all that external content baked into the swf.
View 2 RepliesI made a basic text editor that lets users insert predefined strings into the document with button clicks. What I need to do now is let the user define their own buttons and string values. For example I have a button that inserts "Hello" into the text. The user may want to create a button that adds "Goodbye".To accomplish this I figured I would create a .txt file called buttons.txt or something. i would readutfbytee, loop through it to create the buttons. problem is I know what I want to do but not sure where to start
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to work out how to use states in my Flex app.I've created two states, State1 and Stage 2. Both are based off the base state. I've created a few visual elements for State1, and given each of them includeIn="State1".But when I'm in design mode and click on State2, these elements are still visible?If I try to delete them while State2 is selected, all that happens is RemoveChild is added to the State2 tag.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know if there is a way to add states to a button in flex 4 in addition to the default states that are present.

I am creating an animated menu for my personal website. All I need is a MouseOver and a MouseUp event on the same object. Because of the scrolling nature of the menu, I need to have MouseOver events on each menutab. Each menu item is hidden until a MouseOver event, then it scrolls out to reveal its title. If the user clicks on the now-revealed tab, it should become the current page. If the user does NOT click the now-revealed tab, it reverts to displaying the current page's tab instead.
This means that I need to have a MouseOver and a MouseUp (or Release) tag on my items. Since I probably confused you all as much as I just confused myself, here is the example. [URL]. The "Family" section should be displayed. As you can see, when the user runs the mouse over other tabs, they are revealed. When the mouse goes away, it reverts to the Family section because nothing else was selected. The menu operates on frame 2 - frame 1 sets the initial variables as shown.
Code:
var sel = "family";
var games = "0";
var movies = "0";
var artwork = "0";
var yugi = "0";
var about = "0";
var links = "0";
Frame 2 operates my rollovers in a frame action as shown.
[Code] ......
I've finally got the animation and MouseOver events done - all I need is a MouseUp event! Why it doesn't accept MouseUp or OnRelease events? This is, of course, a work in progress. A few artifacts of testing:
* The green squares on the left of each tab are invisible buttons to activate my rollover. I wanted to see them during testing.
* The blue rectangles sometimes visible over the tabs' text was a theory gone wrong; I was hoping I could click those rectangles, which are buttons (which would be invisible) to initiate the MouseUp event instead of the actual tab, which is a movie clip.
* Needless to say, graphics are temporary! LOL
* Coding is also not optimized yet, so it's a little messy for now.
can i create a menu for the most used actions i define it by my self???
View 3 RepliesI have an app that I am currently using a viewstack to display each page and I am wondering is this the right way to go, or should I use different states (or something else).
The site is powered by a menu bar with the top level items of Home, Tools, Support. Underneath the Tools menu is a submenu with Tool1, Tool2, Tool3. Currently when the user clicks on any of the tools in the Tool submenu I bring up a child container from the viewstack (each child is actually in a separete component).
I have the following panel component called AdvancedPanel with controlBarContent:
<!-- AdvancedPanel.mxml -->
<s:Panel>
<s:states>
[Code]....
Using the CustomAdvancedPanel inside an application component shows an empty panel with the "Go to edit" button. But when I click it, the "Extra edit button" becomes visible, but the "Show in edit" button inside the controlBar doesn't.
When the CustomAdvancedPanel is empty, without redeclared states and "Extra edit button" the panel works just fine.
I think it is because the State object declared in AdvancedPanel isn't the same as CustomAdvancedPanel, so the state is different, even if they have the same name. However. I can't use the states of AdvancedPanel inside CustomAdvancedPanel without (re)declare them in mxml.
Is there any way to achieve this kind of state-reuse? Or is there a better way to obtain the same result?
I am trying to use global application states to manage roles in my application. How can I use <properties.state> everywhere in my application if I declare it in my top level application?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a crack at making my first Flex mobile application (although I'm not new to Flex), and I've tripped at the first hurdle.
I cannot get ViewNavigatorApplication to display a view when trying to use firstView with states e.g. firstView.phone, firstView.tablet.
I'm just left with a blank action bar and content area.
If I try setting setting firstView with no state (e.g. firstView="view.HomeView") the view loads fine.
