Adding Animation to a dynamically created MovieClip

• 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').

• Access dynamically created movieclips

  I have an application that I add movieclips to a movieclip container through a loop and repeatedly by calling myClip.addChild (theNewClip). Now I have a dozen of clips in my container and it seems that the only way to access the item is to use the getChildByName() method and run it in a temporary clip, so I can get to the properties.
  
  What is the best or only way to do this? The old AS2 myContainer ["theName"] .property does not work with dynamically created movieclips? It doesn't seem to work for me.
  
  In any case, I now get the clips, but I was hoping that someone could show me a better way to access a clip created dynamically.

  OK Yes im a dumass.

  You can just say container.getChildByName("theName").x;

  Do not consider this post lol.

• 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;

• 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!

• Dynamically create (and reference) dialog groups

  I am installing a dialog window that can be easily added to via a CSV file.  The only problem I encountered is; I'm not sure how to create groups dynamically.  Basically, script upward configurations a bunch of texture features and then gives the possibility to save or delete this feature.  Here's the basic idea of what I'm trying to do, but the groups are not able to be created in the way that they are presented:

  featArray = [];
  featArray[0] = new Array("Feature Display Name","feature sub-group",'texture',"feature action",'feature type');
  featArray[1] = new Array("Feature2 Display Name","feature2 sub-group",'texture',"feature2 action",'feature2 type'); //etc.
  
  for(var z in featArray) {
      if(featArray[z][2] == 'texture') {
          w.p1.sp1.add('statictext',undefined,featArray[z][0]);
          w.p1.sp1.g[z] = w.p1.sp1.add('group');
          w.p1.sp1.g[z].orientation = 'row';
          w.p1.sp1.g[z].add('checkbox',undefined,'Save');
          w.p1.sp1.g[z].add('checkbox',undefined,'Strip');
          w.p1.sp1.g[z].children[0].id = featArray[z][0].toLowerCase() + "-save";
          w.p1.sp1.g[z].children[1].id = featArray[z][0].toLowerCase() + "-strip";
      }
  }
  

  If you change the [z] g in g1, it will create each field correctly (visually), but has no way to good reference check boxes to see which are checked.  Any ideas how, or even if, it is possible to dynamically create a different group for each line of the featArray?  And if so, how then referencing the boxes in these groups later?  Thanks in advance for any help!

  You must store the locations in a table IE: -.

  featArray = [];
  featArray[0] = new Array("Feature Display Name","feature sub-group",'texture','feature group','feature type');
  featArray[1] = new Array("Feature Display Name2","feature sub-group2",'texture','feature group2','feature type2'); //etc.
  var w = new Window('dialog','test');
  w.p1= w.add("panel", undefined, undefined, {borderStyle:"black"});
  var x = new Array();
  var count =0;
  for(var z in featArray) {
      if(featArray[z][2] == 'texture') {
          w.p1.add('statictext',undefined,featArray[z][0]);
  w.p1.g = w.p1.add('group');
  w.p1.g.orientation = 'row';
  x[count] = w.p1.g.add('checkbox',undefined,'Save');
  count++;
  x[count] = w.p1.g.add('checkbox',undefined,'Strip');
  count++
      }
  }
  w.test = w.add('button',undefined,'Press to Test');
  w.add('button',undefined,'Cancel');
  w.test.onClick=function(){
  for(var w =0;w 
             
   
  		     
  Dynamically create headphones...
   
  			 
  Hello
  I have an external swf that I load into Flash and try to achieve communication between the swf file and the charger of the parent.
  In the external swf file, I have a series of events, they are preparing based on that frame the user is enabled, i.e.:
  dispatchEvent(new Event("1"));
  dispatchEvent(new Event("2"));
  dispatchEvent(new Event("3"));
  I am trying to create a generic listener function that will add several eventListeners to the scene based on an arbitrary number that will listen to turn for the events that they are preparing the external SWF, as follows:
   function ListenForNavFromExternalAsset(sectionLength:int):void
  {        
      for(var i:int = 0;i<sectionLength;i++)
      {
          var screenNum = '"' + i + '"';
          stage.addEventListener(screenNum, NavToScreenFromExternalAsset, false, 0, true);
          trace(screenNum);
      }
  }
  I can see followed by the screen, so I know that the service is running.
  However, clearly, the events are not added to the scene because I never see the traces below, even if the external swf is no doubt sending its events:
  function NavToScreenFromExternalAsset(e:Event):void
  {            
      trace("ADDED_TO_STAGE");
      if(e == Event("1"))
      {
          trace("NavToScreenFromExternalAsset: ONE");
      }
      else if(e == Event("2"))
      {
          trace("NavToScreenFromExternalAsset: TWO");
      }
  //etc..
  }
  There must be a better way to do what I'm not aware of, I had a lot of success in the past using dispatchEvent and capture the event, but I don't know how to dynamically create headphones and listen to a dynamic channel.
  If anyone can suggest a way forward, I would be much obliged.

  Hi Ned,.
  Thank you very much for the reply and oooh, it looks nice, I'll put it in my Pocket Flash for future use.
  After a lot of writing and rewriting and realize (as usual) I was overloading the question, I came up with it, that solved my problem:
  In one of my functions running, I create the number in which I want to listen to
  Add it to the event listener
  for (var i: int = 0; i<>
  {
  var thisScreen:String = String (i + 1); ([/ /, false, false, 1]);
  addEventListener (thisScreen, NavToScreenFromExternalAsset, true);
  }
  Then in the event listener, I get the event type, apply it to my screenCount variable,
  my function call and I'm good to go
  function NavToScreenFromExternalAsset(e:Event):void
  {
  screenCount = int (e.type) - 1;
  DisplayLessonScreenContent();
  }
  However, that being said, the custom event class that you posted is much more elegant, where the solution is just a simple hack. Anyway, thanks for your message of Ned and a lot of satisfaction to you, my friend.

  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

  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.

  Bryon,
  You can use an expression as follows:

  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,

  How to dynamically create action item?
   
  			 
  Hi, I want to dynamically create point.
  Before I want to create using qml, but does not seem possible
  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Cascades-development/how-to-create-action-item-of-page-dynami...
  So maybe better to use C++ to create dynamically,
  I'm already try but are still not
  So I have a custom control qml (a Navigation pane)
  name List.qml
  the structure is like this:
  NavigationPane {}
  {Page}
  objectName: myPage
  {Of container
  ....
  }
  }
  }
  How to add action item to this .qml?
  I'm already try that, but failed
  C++ :
  Engine QDeclarativeEngine;
  QDeclarativeComponent component(&engine,QUrl::fromLocalFile("List.qml"));)
  QObject * object = component.create ();
  Page * myPage = object->findChild ("Edit");  Maybe, on that note, I'm wrong implemented? -> not found?
  
  ActionItem * action1 = ActionItem::create () .title ("first action");
  my page-> addAction (action1, ActionBarPlacement:nBar);
  Remove the object;
  How to create this dynamic Action item?
  Help, please
  Thank you
  			 
  Hello
  QML, the object name must be included between "" marks.
  Name of the object of your Page will be:
  objectName: "myPage"
  
  You can reach any CPP QML object like this:
  This excerpt comes from YourProjectName.cpp
  // create scene document from main.qml asset
  // set parent to created document to ensure it exists for the whole
  // application lifetime
  
  QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);
  
      // create root object for the UI
      AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootObject();
      // set created root object as a scene
      app->setScene(root);
  
  //and here comes the findChild method
  Page* qmlPage = root->findChild("myPage");
  
  After this, you can create any object on the side of C++ QML, as your own code:
  ActionItem* action1 = ActionItem::create().title("First action");
  myPage->addAction(action1, ActionBarPlacement:nBar);
  
  Don't have no need to create a QObejct, or declarative stuff.
  		   
   
              
             
   
  		     
  Dynamically create QmlComponentDefinition objects in the code
   
  			 
  With QML sample:
  // --- main.qml ---Container {    objectName: "fooContainer"    attachedObjects: [        ComponentDefinition {            id: barComponent            source: "Bar.qml"        }    ]}
  
  // --- Bar.qml ---Container {    objectName: "bar"    Label {        text: "FooBar"    }}
  
  I am trying to dynamically create barComponent objects and add them to fooContainer in C++ code.
  So I reference the using fooContainer:
  fooContainer = createdRootObject->findChild("fooContainer");
  
  But how to reference the definition of QML barComponent to use his method createObject()?
  			 
  The definition of the element is used to create the object of QML
  To create the C++ object, you need to do:
  qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///Bar.qml");
  Control *root =  qml->createRootObject();
  fooContainer->add(root)
