Flex - Dynamically Setting Xml By String Concatenation?
Jul 2, 2010
I'm trying to read xml fields (with actionscript 3), but the problem is that I choose which field to read dynamically. For example, I may need to read test19 or test39 or test12 or anything else.
var value:Number = event.result.test19;
var value:Number = event.result.test39;
var value:Number = event.result.test12;
Is there a way to construct that event.result.test19 part dynamically? Something like the code idea below

When I trace the variable it comes out fine. But when I try to toggle the visibility with it, it doesn't work. I can toggle visibility when I manually type the path name. What am I missing?

I want to set the clipboard to be a specific string. I've read about Flash's hack and the ability to hijack the clipboard + Adobe fixing this. I just wanted to know if I would have any problems if an end user has a Flash 10 player? What I could do with my solution is to simply pass in a variable via Flashvars + when a button I have on stage is clicked, will copy the Flashvars value to the clipboard:
System.setClipboard(myFlashVarVariable);
I just thought I'd ask anyway - the last thing I would want is something that worked perfectly in my environment that didn't work for all end users!

I have an array of project type codes like this:
project_types_array[0] = "p"
project_types_array[1] = "exp"
and a corresponding set of movie clips, exported for actionscript, with names:
type_p
type_exp
I want to somehow dynamically attach a movieclip on the stage according to the project type that exists in the array. I could just do something like this:

making my number value to 2 decimal places...
I have 2 string that contain a number in dynamic text (pricing_txt /pricing_txt2) that i have turned into numbers (myNumber/myNumber2). I then have a calculation that adds these two together and i need the result to be 2 decimal places long.
I have used the code
Code:
("number"*100)/100
which from looking on mny sites should solve the problem but it is still not working. My code is below...
Code:
var myString:String = pricing_txt.text;
var myString2:String = pricing2_txt.text;
var myNumber:Number = Number(myString);

I would like to set which axis is manipulated dynamically; or rather, I'd like to use a custom dynamic variable to set which proper variable to use.
Kind of like this: my_mc.x=55; or what i want to do is: my_mc.variableAxis=55;

I am creating an interface where a user can pick up "Polaroid" stle photos and shuffle them around a virtual desktop. I want to photo to shift it's transform point to match the point at which the user picked up the photo, to create a "swinging" effect as the photo is dragged.there was an AS2 workaround floating around, but I want to find the AS3 equivalent, and seem to be unable to find it in the Geom/Matrix package/classes.

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 need to set limits when generating a random number and this (code below) is just a temporary fix until I can set this limit dynamically.
The number is set to be between (0-4) by running an IF statement which sets a fixed upper limit. This works but I need the limit to update dynamically. My main goal is to use the numChildren property of an XMLList object (passed as argument) to set the maximum limit since the random number will be used by a loader when loading an image from this same XMLList.
Currently there are only 5 images in the XML file so this IF statement works. I would like to have the maximum limit update dynamically when the XML file has images added or subtracted to/from it.

I have a little issue im trying to resolve. Basically i want to inherit the embedded text format properties from one text field which i have off the stage (empty) to another text field i have on stage. Ive came across the function of getTextFormat(), however when i try to apply this to the other text field it doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
onStageTextField.getTextFormat(offStageTextField);
Ive embedded italics into my test field which is off stage. I guess im doing this completely wrong?! I know i could simply create a new TextFormat() then apply that to the text field but is there a way of inheriting the format properties of one tex tfield to another on stage?

I keep feeling like this is just a case of not RTFM hard enough, but I'm just not seeing the answer. Is there a way to use AS3 to dynamically set leading in a dynanmic text field?I've found the getLineMetrics function, which returns a TextLineMetrics instance. This instance can tell me what my leading already is, but when I try to change the value I see nothing change onscreen. Likewise, I don't see any setLineMetrics function to go along with the text field. Is there just no way to change it?

Long time listener, first time caller here. I'm having trouble with how Flash sets the _x property of a dynamically created movieclip. If I create a rectangle on the stage using the Drawing API:
Code:
//for the purposes of this example, assign a value to i
var i:Number = 0;
//assign var squareName
var squareName:String = "square" + i;
//create an empty movieclip named [squareName] at depth 1
this.createEmptyMovieClip([squareName], 1);
[Code] .....
I'm not new to Flash by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never come up against this problem before. For context, I'm actually getting my feet wet with the Tween class, and am having trouble animating dynamically created movieclips due to this confusion with coordinates. When I tween a dynamically created clip from one set of coordinates to another, they are offset by the movieclip's _x and _y properties starting at 0, 0, rather than their actual position on stage.

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.
Here is the example:
My Class for the user interface:
Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.
here's a small piece of code i can't get working:
//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input
[Code].....
bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..

I'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.
Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.
e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}
In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;
