Dynamically create a movieclip name

I have a series of small clips (about 100 of them, cannot be created when running) already exists in my main movie.
These were name of A1 A100. I have to refer to one of these clips according to a calculated value to run from 1 to 100. I don't want to use a switch & case statement, because there would be too many of them.
How do I create a movieclip variable in AS and assign one of the existing movieclips as the real object?
For example, I tried:
var MCobj:MovieClip = 'A' + calculatedNumber;
But this does not create a valid reference to the existing MC. Any ideas?
Thank you

  • dynamically create the file name

    Hello

    I tried to save the file dynamically according to the following code:

    QUrl(QString::fromLatin1("%1/songs%2.mp4")
    

    This saves the file with something like songs001.mp4, songs002.mp4, etc.

    no idea how to better customize the name of the file to save with something more convenient, say the name being april5.mp4, april6.mp4 and so on... (based on the date or time or both)

    LOL, not really, in any case you can use the QDateTime class to get the current time with functions that return a QString that you can add the name...

    You can also consider adding metadata to help the other players and differentiate data more...

  • Dynamically create some MovieClips

    Hi all

    Just get started with the development of the PlayBook and trying to create a simple game. I come from a c# / Java background and have no experience with ActionScript / Flash so am hit some stumbling blocks.

    I want to generate a new object on the screen from time to time (i.e. every 50 frames) so for a trial has decided to create a new object each 50 executives who begins in the center of the screen and moves all the way to the right of the screen, then jumps on the left side of the screen and so on.

    Though it may seem, that there is no threading in ActionScript model, I decided to do the following:

    [SWF (width = "1024" height = "600" backgroundColor = "#cccccc", frameRate = "30")]
    SerializableAttribute public class TestApplication extends Sprite
    {
    private var myFormat:TextFormat = null;
    private var text: TextField = null;
    private var movingText:TextField = null;
            
    private const objSpawnInterval:int = 50;
    private var timeSinceLastSpawn:int = 0;

    public void TestApplication()
    {

    myFormat = new TextFormat();
    myFormat.color = 0xAA0000;
    myFormat.size = 24;
    myFormat.italic = true;
    myFormat.align = 'center ';
                                   
    movingText = new TextField();
    movingText.text = 'X '.
    movingText.setTextFormat (myFormat);

    addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, spawnObjectIfNecessary);
    }

    private function spawnObjectfNecessary (event: Event): void
    {
    timeSinceLastSpawn ++;
    If (timeSinceLastSpawn is objSpawnInterval)
    {
    var newObj:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
                   
    newObj.x = Display.display.getDisplayWidth (0) / 2;
    newObj.y = Display.display.getDisplayHeight (0) / 2;
    newObj.addChild (movingText);
    newObj.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, doMovement);
    addChild (newObj);
                    
    timeSinceLastSpawn = 0;
    }
    }
            
    private void doMovement(event:Event):void
    {
    var movingObject:MovieClip = event.target as MovieClip;
    movingObject.x += 1;

    If (movingObject.x > Display.display.getDisplayWidth (0))
    {
    movingObject.x = 0;
    }
    }

    }

    I thought it would make the case (yes I expect eventually to move objects in a table as at present there is no way for them should be deleted), however when I run the application it creates an "X" in the center of the screen as expected, begins to move to the right and then 50 frames later it disappears and an 'X' appears in the center of the screen.

    Please excuse the bad code above, I'm testing only

    Any ideas? Any help gratefully received

    Thank you very much

    Jim

    You have only a single instance of "movingText" then when that gets readded, it will simply reuse this instance, effectvely it remove the previous parent container.  If you have more than one text element, move, you need to create a new TextField each time when you add it to the next MovieClip.

  • How to dynamically create a movieclip from an image

    Hello!

    Developer Java im in transition to AS3, my task is to create one of these spaceship games (beathazard / Asteroids style) but I'm already destroyed by the differences between these languages... im trying to make this game completely through AS3, in other words, attempts to avoid manual configuration as much as possible, at the moment, im trying to create my space ship (an instance of my class of spacecraft) , my experience (my class staged instance), my balls (ball class instance) and my game (game class).

    The first problem im having is that I can't seem to turn the ship find his sprite when running its constructor in order to create a new instance of it and add it to my game (in fact, my staging).

    No matter what ideas of how to do this? IM using this constructor:

    public function Nave() {
    
    
    var imgLoader : Loader = new Loader();
                   imgLoader.load(
    
    new URLRequest("../img/normalShip.png"));
    
    
    this.addChild(imgLoader);}
    
    
    
    

    and then just create an instance of this ship on my game and adding that a child of my game.

    Thanks in advance! Any advice will be very welcome!

    If you want to add the image to a MovieClip or Sprite, you will have to wait until the image is loaded before doing so.  Wait for what it assign you an event listener COMPREHENSIVE in the loader's contentLoaderInfo property.  Once it's loaded, you can have the process of function event handloer the Loader.content (image) in some object that you intend to have it in.

  • 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;

    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').

  • 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();

  • 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

  • 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;

  • 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")

    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 {}

    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.

  • Get the ID of a dynamically created symbol library, inside another symbol.

    Hello world

    I'm trying to get the id of a dynamic created symbol library.

    When you dynamically create the symbol directly on the stage (or the level of the composition), there is no problem.

    But I can not function when you create the symbol inside another symbol.

    A few examples using 'getChildSymbols()' and 'aSymbolInstances '.

    // USING "getChildSymbols()" /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    ON THE STAGE

    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol ("m_item", "Stage");

    var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols ();

    console.log (symbolChildren [0] .getSymbolElement () .attr ('id')); / / ok eid_1391853893203

    / / Inside a SYMBOL OTHER

    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol ("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement ());

    var symbolChildren = sym.getSymbol("holder").getChildSymbols (); / / I use this maybe wrong?

    console.log (symbolChildren.Length) / / returns 0 if can't ID is

    ' USE 'aSymbolInstances "".

    ON THE STAGE

    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol ("m_item", "Stage");

    console.log(sym.aSymbolInstances[0]); / / ok (I guess) x.fn.x.init [1] 0: #eid_1391854141436 div

    / / Inside a SYMBOL OTHER

    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol ("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement ());

    console.log (sym.getSymbol("holder").aSymbolInstances [0]); / / Error Javascript in the event handler. Type of event = element

    In this post http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5691824 is written: "mySym.aSymbolInstances will give you a table containing all the 'names' when you create symbols"

    Would be - this only works on the scene / composition level only and not inside a symbol?

    The following methods to obtain the same are indeed possible, but I do not simply want to use them in this case:

    (1) storing a reference to the symbol created in a table and call it later by index.

    (2) giving the elements an ID manually on the creation and use of document.getElementById () thereafter.

    I can't believe that this is not possible. I am probably missing something here.

    Forgive me that I am a newbie using Adobe Edge!
    I really hope that someone can help me here.

    Anyway, thnx in advance people!

    Kind regards

    Lester.

    OK, I solved my problem by using the (simple) code below.
    I guess that 'getChildSymbols()' and 'aSymbolInstances' only works on stage / level of the composition.

    Just thought I'd share this to everyone. Peace!

    var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol ("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement ());

    $.each (sym.$("holder").children (), function (index, obj) {}

    Console.log ($(sym.$("holder").) ([Index] Children()) .attr ('id'));

    });

  • address dynamically created symbols

    I don't know what is the best way to deal with a specific symbol dynamically created because I don't see in the dashboard API in any way to get the name of the symbol instance. The method . getSymbol() would be the best way to do it, but it takes the name of "instance" symbol and I don't know which one it is. When I use . createChildSymbol() I just pass the name of 'type' symbol and the name of the element parent to put inside but nothing about the symbol instance name that is created. The method . getChildSymbols() doesn't help much because it gets "all" direct children instances are, and I have more of an and of different types.

    I need to get one specific symbol among others that I created dinamcally, so how do I do it better?

    I think on the use of . getChildSymbols() and loop through them all, get the DOM of each symbol with . getSymbolElement(), then use the "class" attribute to at least identify the different types of symbols children recovered. I now have a subset of the children-brothers (symbols of the same type class =) and I can walk through them. At this point, my only hope to distiguish them is the setting of index-z I spent when I created the symbols using the . createChildSymbol().

    Another option would be to 'save' the manager returned to each symbol created with . createChildSymbol() in an object like this {symbol: handler, name: 'no name', created: ' date/time',...} and save them in an array of objects.

    All the best ideas?

    I found something in http://www.edgedocks.com/edgecommons#anchor_edgecommons_21. This guy did a getSymbolName function, which is exactly what we need to solve this problem.

    var dataObject:Object = {area: lineArray [0], Section: lineArray [1], family: lineArray [2], Code: lineArray [3], mark: lineArray [4], Image: lineArray [5], Description: lineArray [6], quantity: lineArray [7], price: lineArray [8]};

    dataProvider.addItem (dataObject);

    }

    }

    }

    assign columns to the dataGrid control

    CGI Columns = columns;

    assign the dataProvider of the dataGrid

    dg.dataProvider = dataProvider;

    Add the DataGrid on stage

    this.addElement (dg);

    }

    I was able to create columns and dataFields dynamically, instead, I wasn't able to do it for the data provider items (see below):

    var dataObject:Object = {area: lineArray [0], Section: lineArray [1], family: lineArray [2], Code: lineArray [3], mark: lineArray [4], Image: lineArray [5], Description: lineArray [6], quantity: lineArray [7], price: lineArray [8]};

    How can I create these values dynamically (without knowing the names number and column data area)?

    Thanks in advance

    use:

    If (i == 0) {}

    for (var j: int = 0; j

    var prop: String = lineArray [j];

    var c:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn (prop);

    c.dataField = prop;

    Columns.push (c);

    }

    } else {}

    var dataObject:Object = {};

    for (j = 0; j<>

    dataObject [columns [j] .dataField] = lineArray [j];

    }

    dataProvider.addItem (dataObject);

    }
