Flash :: Icons In List Compoinent

Set Icons In List Object
Hi,

How do I set icons to each item in List object on runtime? I am trying the following:

in mxml file:

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
[Embed(source="sound.png")]
public var SoundIcon:Class;
]]>
</mx:Script>

in .AS file (Channels is the ID of my List control):

Channels.dataProvider[1].icon = SoundIcon;

but I am getting the error:

Cannot create property icon on String

THanks guys

Dynamic Icons In A List
Hello,

please, does anyone know how to add icons to a List from some URLs?

I have an XML, e.g.:
<body>
<row>
<label>Abc</label>
<url>some.local.path</url>
</row>
...
</body>

I can load it, parse it and fetch it into a DataProvider.
Then, I read that I have to create a custom CellRenderer to display a icon from url - but how?

If I understand correctly, I need to subclass CellRenderer. Ok:

public class myRenderer extends CellRenderer
{
override public function set data(d:Object):void { ... }
override public function get data():Object { ... }
}

And I think I need to put something into "set data" but don't know what?

Maybe something like:
icon = "myIconSymbol";
but I don't have any symbols in the library since the images are loaded on the fly...

Thanks a lot in advance!

--Ecir

PS: Or do I need to do it somehow like this?
public class myRenderer extends UILoader implements ICellRenderer { ... }

List Of Icons That Can Be Reordered... Has This Been Done?
I'm trying to create a list of icons that can be dragged into a different order (along a fixed vertical path) by the user. Think of the OSX "dock" for example, how when you drag an application to a new place in the dock the icons around it will move out of the way and let it snap into place. I can probably figure out how to program it manually but I think this MUST have been solved already, so I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a tutorial or sample out there somewhere that I can base my code on, or if any of you have done something similar and wouldn't mind sharing your actionscript or techniques.

TIA,
Alison

Inserting Icons In Flash List Component
Join Date: Dec 2008

Default using external images as icons for flash list component
I've created a custom flash video player with a
xml generated playlist using actionscript 2 and the
flash list component. I want to insert icons in each row
of the list next to each video description. These icons aren't symbols
located in the library, they are external images located in the same folder
as the video player. The video description, url and image location are
imported from an XML file structured like this:

<videos>
<video url="thevideo.flv" desc="The description." img="thumbs/video_thumb.gif" />
</videos>

The XML data is imported into the list
component using actionscript 2.0 like this:

var vlist:XML = new XML();
vlist.ignoreWhite = true;
vlist.load("the_video_playlist.xml");

vlist.onLoad = function() {
var videos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes; //will take all video tags in xml file and put into array

videoList.iconField="icon";

for (i=0;i<videos.length;i++) {

var labelItem:String = videos[i].attributes.desc; //video description
var dataItem:String = videos[i].attributes.url; //video url
var imageItem:String = videos[i].attributes.img; //thumb URL

videoList.addItem({label:labelItem, data:dataItem, icon:"video_icon", img:imageItem});

}

The list instance name is videoList. The icon for list items is a
movie clip called "video_icon".

The solution must be to load the external images for each icon into the
"video_icon" symbol using loadMovie. I'm just not sure how to do that - I've tried several approaches including using a placeholder image inside of the "video_icon" to load the external thumbnail image specified in the xml file. I can't get this to work. Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.

Help... Need A Dynamic List Of Clickable Icons From Xml Data
I'm producing a slide show tour sort of thing and I have the slideshow data loading from an XML file. What I'd like to do is to have a horizontal string of icons at the bottom that are clickable that would take you to that specific slide in the tour. The icon would be just a sqaure framed box with number in them, as in 1, 2, 3, 4... and so on, all built dynamically depending on how many slides are in the XML file. If the user clicked on icon with a 4 in it, they would be taken to slide 4 in the tour.

I've played around with a couple of things...

I've written a for loop to create a number that is incremented by one for every element it hits in the XML data and then I've linked that by an <a href= call function>... sort of thing. So it wrote out 1 2 3 in a dynamic text field. That works all great and fine but the text numbers are hard to click on the screen. Being the reason I want to click on an icon, not just the text.

I've also worked with duplicate movie clip and got that to work as well with a button in the MC that would link to a given slide in the tour. But it's doing what it should and that is duplicating the one MC I told it to, so all the icons link to the same slide, the last one in the XML list.

So I've got two things to work, sort of, but I would like to get something to work together. An icon with a number in it in a horizontal list for the user to click on and go to specific slides.

Any thoughts? Not sure if a tutorial exists for something like this, I couldn't find one but maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing, seems kind of a custom issue, maybe not though.

I'd appreciate any advices.

Thanks so much!

[F8] Replacing Scrolling Icons To Rotating World Icons
Hi,

I'm working on this web site that needs to be changed. What I want to do is replace the scroll menu with a rotting world menu. Kinda like Itunes has in the album view.

I have a function called mover that makes the scroll menu move. So what I was thinking was that all I have to do is adjust that function.

This is roating world that I want to add:

Code:
function mover(count){
if(inited){
world.rotateY(360- ((360/15) * id), 8);
}
}

and this is the old scrollling menu

Code:
function mover()
{
if(_ymouse > 250 && _ymouse < 365)
{
var xdist = _xmouse - Stage.width/2;
this._x -= xdist / 25;
}
else
{
if(_xmouse > centerX)
{
this._x -= speed;
}
else
{
this._x += speed;
}
}

if (this._x>= -600)
{
this._x = -1500;
}

if (this._x<= -1501)
{
this._x = -601;
}
}

My question is why can't I just call the new function mover so that it grabs that information now?

Thanks in advance,
Bmcc

Load Xml Data(list Of Names), Use List As Buttons In Flash Possible?
Hi, basically I have a quiz game that I made, the quiz is done but I want to keep track of how many times a person has failed the quiz. I have an XML file that has a list of names. I want to take those names, put them in a quiz game (at the beginning) as a "list" of some sort and let the user be able to choose their own name (which is of course already in the XML file). This name will be used to keep track of how many times they have tried the quiz.

I have successfully loaded the XML file (names) into an ARRAY in Flash but how can I output them to the screen AND let the user be able to choose those from the list? as a button? This will add the count after they clicked their name to +1 and then save it to somewhere(where is best?). I will attach the zipped files (there are 4, the fla,swf,2 XML files[quiz/names]). If anyone can help me ASAP it would be awesome.

MX Icons
Hopefully this is a easy one, cause its been driving me crazy. What i am trying to do is change the default flashMX icons for fla. and swf. files so they use the old flash 5 icons. Which is easy to do, but every time i start up flash they all go back to the original default icons (which to me they just look to similar to each other) I am using win XP, if that would make a difference

If anyone would care to contribute by making me an icon or giving feedback, it would be most appreciated.

Every single icon contributed will be displayed as part of my final year project at huddersfield university on June 6th (im trying to get at least 100 - currently on 64).

Installing An .exe And Icons
Running a Flash MX projector from a CD. At a certain point, a button appears that asks the user if they want to place a link on their desktop to access a specific website.

An.exe file will be present on the the CD (a zipped or stuffed .swf that will runs a short teaser- the a get URL to the web address). Problem is, I want the .swf to be installed on the desktop for future use, but without the user having to do anything. In other words, silently beneath the Flash player.

Any ideas? Anything would be much appreciated!

IF you look at all there icons they have that sharp edged pixel look.
Also go into the exec showcase and have a look at the buttons in there.

History Icons
I have a page icon that I have designed, I want to use it as an icon that allows users to flick back to pages that they have clicked on in a flash movie. Like a history page. So say they go to the education section, a page icon will appear in the bottom part of the movie with an option to return back to that section. It is also so users can keep track of where they have been during the visit to the site.

Its just a thought that I have had, not sure if it has been used on anyone elses site. Would it be too hard to code?

Draggable Icons:
I have a MC that's a palette of icons that can be "click and dragged" off the palette. I use duplicate MC, and give each instance a new level, so you can add as many as you like.

I would also like to move the palette itself, freely from the placed icons. Currently, I can make the palette draggable, but is also moves the placed icons as well.

I considered a new MC for the icons inside the palette MC, but since it is nested inside the palette, wouldn't they still move together?

How can I make the palette move independantly of the placed icons?

How To: Pixel Icons
Hey all!
Have'nt been here for a while! Still cool.

I'm building a site which is graphically very technically orientated. I wish to build up a language of very simple and very clear pixel icons. These icons will serve as buttons and symbols relating to the content. They are going to be pretty widely used, so on a forum, newsletters, site etc.

I am wondering about the best practice for building these?
Sizes?
Optimisation?
Technique?

So, if anyone knows of good resources for tutorials, techniques etc. I would be really glad of your help.
I guess a good example of what I'm trying to achieve is here on this site! Small tight icons.

Any input as ever really appreciated.
Good to be back
