• How to reference a dynamically created MovieClip from an another MovieClip?

  Hello

  I would be grateful for the pointers to the following problem:

  I can't reference dynamically created MovieClips (links in a panel side on a Flash site, created from a XML file) from the current MovieClip (the selected link).

  I want to freeze the MovieClip/link to the mouseOver State, once it has been clicked - this part works. When a new MovieClip/link is clicked on, I would like to release the previously clicked on the link to the mouseOver State, which is what I have so far been unable to do.

  My problem seems to refer to the previous link/MoveClip. I used the statement (MovieClip (this) .name) route trace to determine that the clips are named item0, item1, item2 and so on. However, I was unable so far to reference the previous item so far. I tried to follow the route to the MovieClip on the stage and also essaye.item0.gotoandstop MovieClip (parent) and a lot of other different permutations, but nothing helped. It's the fact that they seem to be in a container called "panel", which is defeat me.

  Here's a live version that I downloaded, what could explain the problem better. Click on "UBER EACH" in the menu bar to access the page in question. It is the links on the left side (history, team Unser, etc.) who are the problem. You will see that once they were clicked, they stay in their mouseOver State.

  This is the code in question on the fla file, which is a file that I did not create myself. The parts in black work very well; It's the Red pieces there the rub:

  ***********************************

  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  panel.buttonMode = true;

  var: lang: uint = 1;

  var url_Link:String = MovieClip (root).program.websiteXML .language [lang] [MovieClip (root).program.linkPage].pages.titlePage.texts.pageList.txt [XT].@link numT;

  var urlPage:Number = number (MovieClip (root).program.webs iteXML.language [lang].pages.titlePage [MovieClip (root).program.linkPage].texts.pageList.tx t[numTXT].@linkPage);

  var request: URLRequest;

  var linkIndex:uint;

  var lastClickedLink:MovieClip; //This is supposed to store the last link that has been clicked - it does not work  

  panel.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clicLink);

  panel.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseOverLink);

  panel.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mouseOutLink);

  function mouseOverLink(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  MovieClip (this) .gotoAndPlay ('s1');

  }

  function mouseOutLink(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  if(numTXT!== (linkIndex-1)/5) { State mouseOver of //freezes so this is the link for the current page

  MovieClip (this) .gotoAndPlay ('s2');

  }

  }

  function clicLink(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  var linkpage:uint =. MovieClip program.linkPage (root);

  If {(url_Link)

  request = new URLRequest (url_Link);

  navigateToURL (request);

  } else {}

  linkIndex = numTXT * 5 + 1;

  if(linkpage == 1) {}

  MovieClip (root).chPages.cont.page_about_mc.page3Tu rner_mc.gotoAndStop ([linkIndex]);

  } ElseIf (linkpage == 2) {}

  MovieClip (root).chPages.cont.page3_mc.page3Turner_ mc.gotoAndStop ([linkIndex]);

  }

  lastClickedLink.gotoAndPlay('s2'); / / This is supposed to release the clicked the link previous it is State mouseOver - does not work 

  lastClickedLink = MovieClip (this) .name; //this is supposed to set the new link as the last link clicked after that was released of her is State mouseOver - does not work   

  }

  }

  ***********************************

  If anyone can help, that would be great.

  What you might be after for this line is to use:

  lastClickedLink = MovieClip (event.currentTarget);

  For what you show, the name property of an object is a string, so I expect get you an error regarding trying to get a string to act as a MovieClip when you try to say to gotoAndPlay ('s2').

• Adding Animation to a dynamically created MovieClip

  Imagine I want to use the calendar and I don't want to create an instance of movieClip in the library to be exported to the Action Script

  Instead, I want to use the first image on the stage to create some movieclips and add an animation to them through functions. Like this:

  var DynamicClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip

  buildMovieClip (for variables)

  function buildMovieClip (some variables)

  {DynamicClip.graphics (blah blah)

  addChild (DynamicClip)

  DynamicClip.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, animatePixels)

  }

  function animatePixels()

  {a few codes to move the these pixels}

  Now that everything works well except the fact that the animation is not part of the MovieClip. so if I decide to ratote the whole thing or scale or other, the animation is not affected. How can I actually 'indent', 'attached', 'understand' the animations I coded in the MovieClip instance and then if all goes well, give it a name so I can duplicate it. everything with no dependency on the library and manually created symbols.

  Thanks in advance...
  

  You need to stick with your other display and not new starts for the same topic.  Other display I see you use addChild when you say you want to add the object to the MovieClip.  If you want to add the object to the MovieClip so that the child turns with the MovieClip, then you must use MovieClip.addChild

• Problem with accessing dynamically created video clips, returns null.

  I hope that it's a dumb question with an easy answer, if my code is pretty simple.

  I use this code snippet to create menu items, then use the variable jCount below to give the clips a like number, index in so much of (which seems to work very well):

  for(var j:Number=0;j<xmlSubMenuLength;j++){  
      var mcSubMenuItem:mcSubMenu=new mcSubMenu();    
      addChild(mcSubMenuItem);     
      jCount++;    
      mcSubMenuItem.name = "mcSubMenuItem" + jCount; 
      //traces out names correctly
      trace ("---------------------------------jCount NAME = "+ mcSubMenuItem.name); 
      mcSubMenuItem.x=mcMenuHolder.x+20;
      mcSubMenuItem.y =mcMenuHolder.y;
      mcSubMenuItem.y+= nextBtnY;
      nextBtnY+=subtopicSpace;
      global_subi.text = String(jCount); //i see the proper count of 10 in the text field
     }
     
     
  

  However, when I try to access the clips using this snippet:

    
   for(var j:Number=0;j<Number(global_subi.text);j++)//
      {   
    trace("GLOBAL SUBI = "+ String(global_subi.text));  //traces out 10, which it should
    var scSubMenuItem:String = "mcSubMenuItem" + j;   
    var scSubContent:Object = this.getChildByName(scSubMenuItem); 
    trace(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>scSubContent:Object = "+ scSubContent); //returns null!
    
   }   

  My last trace statement returns null. Anyone can see my mistake, or explain why I can't access my videos after they have been created?

  Thanks muchly,.

• use a dynamically created movieclip

  Seems that after I get more than one problem it is just around the corner. That's what makes it exciting I suppose

  I have a function that adds 7 movieclips to the timeline in a loop. The name of the clips is automatically generated:

  menu = function(){
       
       var tFiles:Number = myXML.firstChild.childNodes.length;
       for (me=0; me < tFiles; me++){
       path = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
       i++;
       _root.attachMovie("circle", "circle"+me, me, {_x:(me*43), _y:330});
       mclm.loadClip(path, ("circle"+me));     
       mclm.addListener(mclmL);     
       }
       
  }
  
  

  Now I want to use circle1, circle2, etc. in a function that has an 'i' variable.

  In the function, I put

  MovieClip("circle"+i)._alpha = 0;
  

  It does not work. If I just use circle1 to the line, it works perfectly.

  I hope that there is a way to do without getting involved berries.

  Thank you.

  Use the notation from table to force flash to convert a string to an object:

  _root ["circle" + i] ._alpha = 0;

• How to access the inside movieclip with AS3

  Hello

  I have a problem to access inside the movieclip I mean child MovieClip

  the code is here

  var myMovie:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

  addChild (myMovie);

  var myChild:Sprite = new Sprite();

  myMovie.addChild (myChild);

  var nextChild:Sprite = new Sprite();

  myChild.addChild (nextChild);

  now I want to acess the next child and I use following

  (myMovie.myChild.nextChild) .addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, onChildClick);

  function onChildClick(evt:MouseEvent):void

  {

  trace ("last child is clicked");

  }

  Thank you

  When you create dynamic content, using the notation by point does not work and you must use... getChild methods if you want to access it through the parents.  However, you should not need to do since you already have a direct reference to the object...

  nextChild.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onChildClick);

  function onChildClick(evt:MouseEvent):void

  {

  trace ("last child is clicked");

  }

  You probably might have realized this when you implement this line (assuming it worked)...

  myChild.addChild (nextChild);

  With the approach of targeting parent, wouldn't you have tried to use... myMovie.myChild.addChild (nextChild);?

  and 'Click' should be 'CLICK '.

• Handling dynamically created components qml in C++

  Hey,.

  I dynamically create a qml page by using the following code:

                  onClicked: {
                      var favPage = favPageDef.createObject();
                      nav.push(favPage);
                  }
                  attachedObjects: ComponentDefinition {
                      id: favPageDef
                      source: "FavPage.qml"
                  }
  

  I would now like to manipulate the components in this new page qml in c ++. How to access these components?

  I was able to access the qml components fairly easily if they were created during the initialization of the application, but of course, this isn't the case.

  I discovered what the problem was. I had to do my public AbsractPane in my header file. Then when I created the qml component and calls a function in c ++ it turns out to be a child. Thanks for everyone help well.

• Changing the property of all the dynamically created MCs at the same time

  I have a list of dynamically created MCs.  I have this function, which works very well:

  function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
  
       xml = new XML(e.target.data);
       var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
       var listItems:Array = new Array();
       for (var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++) {
            listItems[i] = new list_item_mc();
            listItems[i].x=0;
            listItems[i].y=i*60;
            listItems[i].list_txt.text = il.description.text()[i];
            listItems[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, listItemClick);
            addChild(listItems[i]);
       }
       
  }
  
  function listItemClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
       e.currentTarget.list_txt.setTextFormat(highlightText);
  }
  

  However, I would like to have this setTextFormat command be run on the list_txt text box in ALL dynamically created MC any ONE of them is clicked on.

  
  How to achieve this?  The number of dynamically created clips may change at any time, is not a defined number.

  Thank you!

  If you declare the array listItems outside the functions, you can access in your event handler function so that you can loop through it similar to the way you already do in the onLoaded function.

• Is it possible to use a statically defined appearance streams in a dynamically created annotation?

  Hello

  I want to create a document with cascade "popups".  Not the popup only integrated text, but an annotation that contains a stream of appearance that sets the text and images.  I am currently using widget annotations based on a push button field.

  Each page of my document has many citations referring to other pages in the document.  When a user hovers over the quote, I want a "popup" appear containing a representation of the destination.  However, as the destination itself will be quotes, I also want the "popup" to contain citations that the user can fly over, triggering another popup, etc.  In this way, a user can navigate the entire document without leaving the page, or by clicking the mouse.

  Of course, with even a small number of citations per page, pre calculation and statically define all these widgets causes a combinatorial explosion, making it slow and very large document.

  Instead, I want to statically define workflow appearance once per document, and then dynamically create annotations and affect the seemingly appropriate flow using JS when the user navigates.

  So far, I created an access point named in the dictionary of names, but I was not able to use it to dynamically set a dynamically created the appearance of a widget annotation workflow.

  Also, I called Doc.getIcon (), passing the AP named, which returns an Icon object.  However, after field.buttonSetIcon () and passing the AP named, the button does not appear the icon.

  Is it possible to use a statically defined appearance streams in a dynamically created annotation?

  Thank you

  Dave

  Using getIcon/buttonSetIcon must work, but you must make sure that the button is set up that it be set in page is not 'Label Only.

  Also, it is best to store the icons of hidden buttons and recover them with buttonGetIcon due to a bug that causes the icons at the level of the document get wiped out when performing a save as operation file.

• Dynamically create a single charger

  Hello

  I have a table of external images that I'm loading and the number of external images is variable, so I want to be able to create loaders to load them into the neeeded.  Is it possible to dynamically create and name in a unique way a charger running?  for example

  var 'imageLoade' + i: Loader = new Loader;

  If not is there a way to transmit image content out of so that it will remain loaded if the loader is used to load other images?

  I would appreciate any advice you may have on the subject.

  Best regards

  Chris McLaughlin

  :

  var tl:MovieClip =;

  TL ["imageLoade" + i] = new Loader();

• How to dynamically create table names?

  I need to dynamically create arrays with array variable names.

  for example, something like this:

  for (var n = 0; n < nodeContainer.length; n ++) {}

  nodeObj = nodeContainer [n];

  var name: String = nodeObj.nodeID;

  table [name]: Array = new Array(); will create the table as "arrayName?

  }

  How?

  Although MovieClip is a dynamic class, classes that extend it DO NOT INHERIT of dynamic features.

  You'd become a big favor if you read the documentation:

  http://www.Adobe.com/LiveDocs/Flex/201/langref/statements.html#dynamic

  To be a class dynamic it must be explicitly defined as such. In your case, it should:

  SerializableAttribute public class dynamic couple extends MovieClip

  And, even once, you REALLY need to understand the AS3 syntax. I'm sorry for you teaches, but despite suggestions you insist on doing bad, although solutions are presented in the clearest way possible.

  The line var myObject ["v_" + VNAME] = new Object(); is a total nonsense in terms of syntax. If you have read my previous message (s), you must write it this way:

  var myObject:Object = new Object();

  ["v_" + VNAME] myObject = new Object();

• When dynamically created variables are emptied in the sequential process template?

  I have a sequence TestStand 2014 in which I dynamically create and fill many FileGlobal variables in the installation section of my main sequence.  I have it using the TestStand API to read the data in an Excel file (the data consists mainly of thresholds, limits, etc.).  The methodology itself works flawlessy.

  However, there are differences in behavior when using entry points both execution of the sequential process model.  When you use the entry point of execution 'Single Pass', he has no problem in test a DUT after another.  However, when you use the entry point for execution "Test DUT", I encounter the following error after completing of DUT1 and DUT2 testing:

  An error occurred the call 'InsertSubProperty' in 'PropertyObject' of 'NI TestStand 2014 API.

  The name of the element "VariableName" is not valid because it is already in use.

  I interpret this error message means that the variable I am trying to dynamically create the DUT2 track is already present race of DUT1.  I have a few questions about this:

  1. at what point in the sequential process template are dynamically created variables flushed, such as run a further by using 'Single Pass' starts with a clean slate?

  2. is there a reminder that I can substitute such as variables to rinse after each HAD run, allowing me to dynamically create variables on each HAD, during execution using "Test UUT?

  3. better yet, is there a counter of TestStand I can query to determine if I already ran DUT1 when using "Test DUT", such as DUT2 uses the variables that were created dynamically on trail of DUT1?

  Or you can simply use the PropertyExists function as a precondition.

  PropertyExists ("Locals.Foo")

• How to dynamically create variables of StationGlobals who are LabVIEWIOControl

  I'm looking for a way to dynamically create variables StationGlobals LabVIEWIOControl.  I know not how to create variables through "PropertyObject/SetValXXX", however I have some difficualty create variables that are custom data types.

  Thank you

  Bryon

  Bryon,

  You can use an expression as follows:

  StationGlobals.NewSubProperty("MyVariable",PropValType_NamedType,False,"LabVIEWIOControl",0)

  I hope this helps!

• dynamically create and destroy the custom menu item

  I have a standard TestStand platform that I use on multiple systems.  On some systems, I have a few sequences of calibration and I would like to have the Update menu to have the RunSequence of these sequences of calibration.  I know how to manually create these menu items, but they are no longer valid for some sequence files.  I would use the sequence SequenceFileLoad to dynamically create menu items and the SequenceFileUnload to destroy these menu items.

  I've played around with the API, but cannot determine the correct path to get to the create and destroy the custom menu items.  Does anyone know how this can be done?

  Thank you

  Matthew

  Yes, see the online help for the members of the following APIs:

  Engine.GetEditTimeToolMenuItems

  EditTimeMenuItems

  EditTimeMenuItem

  Basically, you get a collection of tool using Engine.GetEditTimeToolMenuItems () menu items and then call EditTimeMenuItems.Insert () or EditTimeMenuItems.Remove (). If you insert a you get returns an EditTimeMenuItem object on which you can change the settings.

  In addition, since it has an expression to hide items in menu tool, you need not necessarily to destroy, you can hide them instead.

  Hope this helps,

• Time of design and of the dynamically created controls

  I have a project written in VC6 as a project of the MFC dialog box. In a particular area, I dynamically create several (the exact number depends on user input) CNiGraphs. There is also a two CNiButtons that were created at design time using the resource editor. The problem I have is that when this dialog box is open, a message appears saying it is an eval version and the control will go off after 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of waiting, the CNiButtons 2 go inactive (black tower), but the continuous CNiGraphs of work. I have a valid license of MStudio 8.1.6, version but it seems that these 2 buttons do not recognize the license. There are also other buttons from the moment of conception of the project, but these have no problem at all. When you create the dynamic creation of the CNiGraphs, give them a valid license string, and I was wondering if there is a problem with the time created and dynamically controls created in the same dialog box to design. Anyone know?

  I don't remember, but I can have created these 2 CNiButtons when I was with only an eval license. (All others were undoubtedly create when I got a full license) Could have an impact on them? I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that DTC create controls to check the license when they are created in the designer and store that info in them license. If this is the case does anyone know an easy way to update the license stored in control? I rather not just delete it and Add again because I would avoid having to redo the tab order (unless someone knows how to easily insert something in the middle of the order of tab instead of having to click through all the controls in the correct order)?

  In addition, I don't know if this would affect anything, but the project was originally built with ComponentWorks 1.0, we were forced to move to MStudio when we met a few bugs in CW, so all controls were originally CW controls which have been converted into control of CNi. I doubt that this is so like everywhere else, we changed during controls is not a problem, but I'm ready to try the suggestions.

  Hi JC,.

  I hope you had a good weekend!  I'm glad to hear that you're back running.  Add the extra button was, in fact, causing update the licensing information for the other buttons, as you can imagine.  After further research, I found that the license information are stored only the form of the control, and if this control doesn't change in any way (or in your case, adding a new project), he sees no reason when compiling to recreate a link to the license.  However, after the change of control and a new, it updates the link between the license information, which solved this problem in your case.

  I hope this helps, JC.  Have a great day!
