I'm trying to create a dynamicly named object.
something like
private var myVar:String = "dynamicName";
private var [myVar+"staticName"]:Object = new Object;
but what i wrote above dosn't work for some reason.
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.
On library i have mc. In property i made Export for ActionScript. And on timeline add code:
var my_pic_mc:Pic=new Pic();
addChild.(my_pic_mc);
but dont see my movie clip on the stage after compile.
I have a MovieClip that I made with a simple text box inside to hold some text..
I am basically using it to generate a "member list".
Each name would have its own TxtSlot_mc... so it can be manipulated later.
I have so far been able to dynamically load a concatenated string of member names from php into flash and then split the string into an array.
I have also been able to create each movie clip and assign the member name to the text in the text box and add/position it to the screen.
The problem I am having is that after exiting the function that handles the creation I can't figure out how to get access to them.[code]...
Trying to get from AS2 to AS3 and the simpliest things are taking too long.I have some movieclips on the main timeline named...
btnSm1_mc
btnSm2_mc
btnSm3_mc

How would I write a procedure that would build this array such that I could choose as many parameter names such as KBP? I wanted?
public var expenses:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([

{Impact:"B", KBP1:0, KBP2:0, KBP3:0, KBP4:0 },
{Impact:"C", KBP1:0, KBP2:2, KBP3:3, KBP4:0 },

How can I create an xml object (or any object in fact) named after a variable, i.e variable called section with value "names" create object [section value + "XML"] = new xml(); result: empty xml object called namesXML
View 3 RepliesI'm building a variable matching game. The player clicks one of four choices and then clicks the answer area. Their choice appears in the area, and if the answer is correct the answer container shifts down, highlighting the next answer area to be filled. Inside the container are a large number of these answer areas (60).
What I am trying to do is have only one be answerable at a time, the highlighted one, so that players can't skip ahead despite seeing the empty spaces left to answer in. What I have right now isn't working, and I could use some outside insight.
Code:
var i:int =1;
function sampleFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(selection == e.currentTarget.targetCorrect){//targetCorrect is a string set statically
[Code].....
I realize I could use a for loop to add the event listener, but the project really calls for only one answerable area at a time.
My problem is that I cant figure out how to draw my movieclip if I dynamicly name it.
However If I address it by using its actual name it works fine.

I have an array of external images that I am loading and the number of external images is variable, so I want to be able to create loaders to load them as needed. Is there a way to dynamically create and uniquely name a loader at run time?
Otherwise is there a way to pass the image content off in such a way that it will remain loaded if the loader is used to load other images?
I've dynamically created a grid of buttons which are going to modify a 2D array, but I can't work out how to create a unique function for each iteration of the loop with a dynamic function name. Probably just a stupid syntax error by me...

So I've been trying to make dynamically named functions, and while it works, I've run into a couple of problems.
ActionScript Code:
var uServer:String = "irc.epic-chat.net"
var lol:String = "lolz"
var num:Number = 3
[Code].....
If I had something like that ^ what could I add to func to distinguish between whether it is being called by lolz0, lolz1, or lolz2? I was thinking whether there was something like .name I could use, but I couldn't come up with anything.
A snippet of my code is [code]The first element in the mainOptions Array is linked (metaphorically) to tab1.The second element in the mainOptions Array is linked (metaphorically) to tab 2 and so on.I want to create 12 variables named AudioMP3, AudioHEAAC, NewsBBC, NewsTwitter, VideoVideo and so on down to PicsPics2. i.e concatenate each entry in say tab1 through 5 to the each element from mainOptionsArray and make a new variable using that name then assigning a number to this variable.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get data out of an array. Problem is the array I'm trying to access is different depending on where I'm currently at.
I can get data from a dynamically named variable, like so:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link"]
but now that I want to access one field in an array, instead of a single variable, I don't know the syntax to get at it? Waa. I tried:
_parent["Menu" + Menui + "Button" + Listi + "Link[" + Linki + "]"]
but it didn't like me.
I've been attempting to attach bitmaps from the library in AS3, and have settled on a piece of code which works:

I have a movieclip (myMC) that I create several instances of.I dont duplicate the movieclips, but just copy and rename them like "myMC_i", where "i" is a unique number.Can I somehow check if one copy of myMC (for instance "myMC_2") collides with another copy (for instance "myMC_5"), always ignoring collisions with other types of movieclips on the stage?Thats the problem I cant solve. I can either check for a collision with ANY other movieclip, or check for a collision with a single SPECIFIED movieclip (by checking for its name). But I dont know how to check for a collision with a group of movieclips that has the first part of their names in common. If it had been like in a search-engine, you would have been able to search for:[code]

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?
View 2 Repliesi'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();

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:

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.

View 1 RepliesI 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)?
Inside my loop, where i get my XML objects I added a code to draw and add the mask:
var myMask:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// settings for width height x y color fill etc etc.
myMask.name = "NAME-"+i; // set the NAME
myContainer.addChild(myMask);
myContainer.mask = myMask;
the mask looks fine on the stage.now since i name it, i want to use it for other purpose like moving it now i want to actual call myMask
i get my number "num" from other function, that works fine
function applyMask(num:int):void {
// need to call myMask("NAME-"+num)
}
i have tried myContainer.getChildByNamehave tried:
var masking:myContainer=getChildByName("NAME-"+String(num)) as myContainer;
i have traced for options i can think of myself, but all result no property found.
am creating some Advanced Datagrid with actionscript. I have created an actionscript class where I extend the VBox object:
[Code]...
...so, I have the following code
for (i=1; i<=n; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.object, "object"+i, i);
how can I choose the position of the new MovieClip?
"object"+i_x = random(100) - this should work if I had a different name of variable, but in this case it doesn't.
set("object"+i_x, random(300)); - this doesn't work neither
}
