Flash :: Next/ Previous In Xml Menu Array

How Do You Get The Previous Number In An Array?
I'm loading data into a movie clip via XML and an array system that duplicates a single movie clip any number of times, as defined by the XML file. The code is working, but what I would like to do now is be able to get the previous number from the array.

Here's the script I'm using:

ActionScript Code:
stop();
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
_level0.homeMC.newsMC.newsClips.newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
_level0.homeMC.newsMC.newsClips.newsXML.load('news.xml');
_level0.homeMC.newsMC.newsClips.newsXML.onLoad = function():Void {
_level0.homeMC.newsMC.newsClips.nodeLength = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<nodeLength; i++) {
newsPath = _level0.homeMC.newsMC.newsClips;
newsPath.newsClipping.duplicateMovieClip('newsClipping'+i, newsPath.getNextHighestDepth());
newsPath['newsClipping'+i]._y += getProperty(newsPath['newsClipping'+(i-1)], _y)+getProperty(newsPath['newsClipping'+(i-1)], _height);
newsPath['newsClipping'+i].newsTitle.text = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild;
newsPath['newsClipping'+i].newsDate.text = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild;
newsPath['newsClipping'+i].newsMessage.text = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild;
}
_level0.homeMC.newsMC.newsClips.newsClipping.unloadMovie();
};

The problem is on line 10 where I try to define the "_y" value for the duplicated movie clips. Since each clip is set to auto-size to fix the text content, I can't have them a set distance apart. What I'm hoping to be able to do is to have it get the "_height" and "_y" values from the previous movie clip (so if it's "newsClipping3" I want the values from "newsClipping2" and so on).

I'm new to the whole usage of arrays in scripting and this is the first time I've used this sort of script before so If anyone can tell me what I need to do or point me in the direction of a tutorial that will explain it that'd be of great help!

Time is a bit of a rush as I need this entire project done by Monday morning though... So the sooner I get an answer the better! Thanks!

Targeting Previous Clip In An Array
I can get this to load the next swf in the array but can't seem to create a "previus button" and get it to load the previous swf in the array. Thanks in advance for any help.

Quote:

swfArray = new Array("images/argentina/1.swf", "images/argentina/2.swf", "images/argentina/3.swf");

this.createEmptyMovieClip("target1", 1);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target2", 2);

target1.loadMovie(swfArray[0]);

target2._alpha = 0;

activeTarget = target1;
currentIndex = 0;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (obj1._alpha>0) {
obj1._alpha -= 10;
}
if (obj2._alpha<100) {
obj2._alpha += 10;
}

nextButton.onRelease = function() {
if (activeTarget == target1) {
obj1 = target1;
obj2 = activeTarget=target2;
} else {
obj1 = target2;
obj2 = activeTarget=target1;
}

if (currentIndex<swfArray.length-1) {
currentIndex++;
} else {
currentIndex = 0;
}

obj2.loadMovie(swfArray[currentIndex]);

obj1.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<=0) {
this.unloadMovie();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};

Accessing Next/previous Items In Array
This is probably something very simple, but I'm not too sure of the code used to access items within an array.

Suppose I have an array like this (using Kirupa's Arrays example):

grocery = ["bananas", "oranges", "apples", "kiwis"];
trace(grocery);

And we've loaded up the corresponding variables/text for "bananas", thus the current item = bananas.
Therefore the next item would be "oranges". How can I tell Flash that I want to access this next item?? (I'd like to be able to access it through a variable so that the same action can be applied when the item is "oranges" to move to the next item, which would now be "apples"). Thanx

Make New Array From Previous Answers
Need some help. Trying to learn.
I have sections with questions and answers which I can get.
But, I need to save each section into new array and tally all the final scores.
The screen will show the section score of current section that was just completed
and the final score.

I know the code has lots of problems - attached.

For the total scores the dynamic text boxes var's are totalnumcorrect, totalnumIncorrect, totaluserScore.

For the section score the dynamic text boxes var's are numcorrect, totalnumIncorrect, totaluserScore.

The title changes for each section, so I using that with if statement.

Can someone help please.

Thanks

How To Check For Previous Array Item?
Hi,

I have a loop that is checking to see if the value of a field is the same as the previous item in the array. This was working fine with:

questionlist[i] = [coursename[i],courseid[i], coursecategory[i], coursefriendlydate[i], coursestartdate[i], coursetime[i]];

if (coursecategory[i] != coursecategory[i-1])

but now I have to check for it inside a multidimensional array:

questionlist[i] = [coursename[i],courseid[i], coursecategory[i], coursefriendlydate[i], coursestartdate[i], coursetime[i]];

if (questionlist[i].coursecategory != questionlist[i-1].coursecategory)

but I get "term is not defined" errors.

I have also tried

if (questionlist[i][2] != questionlist[i-1][2])

Any help is appreciated!

Array Positions Modify Geoff Stearns >Next <Previous
The script below was initially set to x positions but I have gotten it to work with y positions. Five buttons take me to yPositions but I also want a button that would increment one step at a time, as in >Next <Previous. I know this is a "if" statement but I can't figure it out. I need a detailed explanation please, any vagueness and I'm lost.

Yes, Geoff sent me here to get assistance. Here is his reply but honestly I need a description that is not quite as vague.
_____
if you want back and next buttons, the slider has to know what position it's at - 1 through 5

so the currentSelection var is just a number that tells you what position it's at.

so, every time a user pushes the next button, you add one to currentSelection, and tell the slider to go to that spot in the array.

if they click back, you subtract one from currentSelection and move the slider to that position in the array.

once you have that in place, you want to check to make sure you don't go past the end or the beginning of the array (That's what the if() statement checks for - you can't go past the end of the array, or lower than 0.

i'd recommend checking out flashkit.com or ultrashock.com - they are usually pretty good about helping people out with code needs

Here is the working file
http://www.easternshorevirginia.com/...menu_test.html

fscommand ("allowscale", false);
var yPositions = new Array(0,-481,-142,201,550,897); // this is an array for storing the positions of the slider
function jumpTo (number) { // this function takes the variable "number" that is passed from the buttons and takes the corresponding value from the array of positions, then sets the new position in the slider to the new position.
slider.newY = yPositions[number];
}
stop ();

Past Frame Numbers Stored In Array For 'previous' Button
I have an swf with buttons that load to different pages (frames of the swf), and what I'd like to do, each time the frame is changed, is push the current frame into an array so that on a couple of 'previous' and 'next' buttons I can change to pages already visited and back forward again if the user chooses

it's a little tricky for me, considering that I don't want to keep pushing the same pages into the array if someone goes back and forth a few times, so maybe some additional code would be needed to check and see if the frame number is already in the array, and if so, ignore the push code?

I don't know. before I get started, does this approach sound like the simplest/best?

Return To A Previous Menu State
Hi - I'm not sure if I am over complicating this in my head, but I'll describe the problem and see what people think.

I have a menu that is comprised of main sections that when clicked slide open to reveal two or three submenus underneath. There are onMouseOvers on the menus for the purpose of lighting them up.

What I want to do is click on a menu, say the first one and open it up. Then explore the menus underneath. A little later, I click on mainmenu header 2, which shuts the first header and opens the second. But then I decide that maybe the click was wrong and I want to go back to the first menu, so when I mouse off the second menu, I want the first menu to reopen automatically.

I assume this has to be down to storing the current and previous locations and running a function that obtains the previous location and sends the movie to this position. But I don't know how to set it up so that the function doesn't run when you mouse off the mainmenu to click on the submenus ie when you have made the right choice.

This sounds like to me being a lot less complicated than I'm thinking it is but I can't think around the problem.

Any suggestions anyone?

thanks

Deactivate Previous Menu Items
Hello,

I have a menu of 10 items.
I want that the selected item be highlighted. So i have a function "highlight item", called by the item listener on MOUSE_UP event.

myItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, selectedOn);

The question is: how can I deactivate the previous highlighted items in the menu ? Can you please write down an example of the code ? thanks

Desperate... Cant Get These Next And Previous Buttons To Work With Xml Menu...
Maybe im double posting from the xml menu thread, but im soooooooooo stuck its making me crazy...

Using the Xml_Menu_v2_buttonDown that hga77 created, ive been trying to add a next and previous button to it with no success.

I can sort of get the buttons to move between the sub levels but, cant get actions to execute and move to the next or previous parent nodes.

Code:
_parent.next_btn.onRelease = function()
{
trace(current);
if (curItem != item)
{
currentbtn = parseInt(previousSub._name)+1;
executeAction(action,previousSub);
trace(current)
}
}
Its doing my head in... Ive spent the last 3 days looking at this and i cant let it go... Please put me out of my misery...

"gallery" Reading From Array, Next And Previous Button Headache
Alright, I'm doing this to make a catalogue better for people on dial-up.
Theres two movie clips, one will be hidden at all times, the next image is loaded into the hidden movieclip.

The next button is working fine, although the previous is not, the objIndex changes down although that array index is not called in loadMovie();

I plan to switch over to colin moocks' preloader later when I get this working, make it draw/attach a preloader into each movieclip incase the movie has not loaded before the user presses "next".

Anyway, code is below, looks fine to be but I've been looking at it too long.

Any ideas folks?

Code:
var objIndex = -1;
picPath = "";
pics = ['winterrangep1.jpg', 'winterrangep2.jpg', 'winterrangep3.jpg', 'winterrangep4.jpg', 'winterrangep5.jpg', 'winterrangep6.jpg'];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc", 1);
_root.holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("image_1", depth++);
_root.holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("image_2", depth++);
var mc_1 = _root.holder_mc.image_1;
var mc_2 = _root.holder_mc.image_2;
mc_2._alpha = 0; // set the second to be hidden *IMPORTANT*
mc_2._x = 500; // move it outta the way while testing so I can see whats going on
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(i, action) {
thisObj = this;
objIndex = (objIndex+i)%_root.pics.length;
thisObj.loadMovie(picPath+_root.pics[objIndex]);
if (objIndex<0) {
objIndex += _root.pics.length;
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.swapVis = function(action) {
trace(this._name+": "+action+" objIndex = "+objIndex);
if (this._alpha == 100) {
this._alpha = 0;
if (action == "prev") {
this.loadPic(-1, "prev");
} else if (action == "next") {
this.loadPic(1, "next");
}
} else if (this._alpha == 0) {
this._alpha = 100;
}
};
mc_1.loadPic(1, "next");
mc_2.loadPic(1, "next");
nextButton.onRelease = function() {
mc_1.swapVis("next");
mc_2.swapVis("next");
};
prevButton.onRelease = function() {
mc_1.swapVis("prev");
mc_1.swapVis("prev");

Trying To Combine "Next"/"Previous" With Slideshow Array
I need help replacing my navigation system on this movie.

My original has a button for each jpg in the array with this AS telling the script where to stop.

ActionScript Code:

Menu Array
hi there,

I have a menu array that is vertical, but would like to make it horizontal.

I believe this is the code that i change, but not sure how too.

for(i=1;i<=8;i++){
clip.duplicateMovieClip("clip"+(i+0), +i)
height = _root.clip._height

_root["clip"+(i+0)]._y = _root.clip._y +height * i
_root["clip"+(i+0)]._alpha = 75
_root["clip"+(i+0)].names = names[i];
_root["clip"+i].link = _root["url"+i];
_root["clip"+i].onPress = function() {
getURL(this.link);
};
}

Any help is appreciated.

[F8] Help With Array In Tab Menu
am creating a horizontal tab menu (no drop downs). I am able to get the rollovers to work, but am struggling with the releases.

The trouble is, when a tab is clicked, it needs to have a different color. I can do this, but then how do i get it to stay this color until another tab is clicked? And to turn off the rollover/out functionality for just this button?

I am using an array to accomplish this, thinking this would be the best way to handle it.

Any insight would be great...I'm just not sure what direction to go from here.

Here is my code thus far:

code:
var ButtonArray:Array = [Button1, Button2, Button3, Button4, Button5, Button6, Button8];

for (var i = 0; i <= ButtonArray.length; i++) {
ButtonArray[i].onRollOver = over;
ButtonArray[i].onRollOut = out;
ButtonArray[i].onRelease = release;
}

function over(){
this.gotoAndPlay("In");
}

function out(){
this.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}

function release() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Selected");
var clicked = i;
}

Menu Array Help
I have a main menu on my stage which consists of 5 MC's which act as my buttons. Inside each there is a little animation that happens and highlights the button. If the button is clicked however, the MC's animation should stay on the last frame which keeps it highlighted, until another button is clicked, in which case the previous button reverses it's animation. There is also a button that has a unique animation which is excluded from the array. The tricky part for me is giving each button the abiliy to load it's external swf in to the movie. Heres what i'm working with. Can someone guide me in a better way of achieving this. Any help is very much appreciated.

Array For Menu
Is my array setup properly? Why can't I trace the length of the nested array subMenuItem?
Here is my code, if you notice anything peculiar please let me know. I also know I can shorten this but I need to know how to do it first.

Attach Code

var menuItem = Array = new Array();
var subMenuItem = Array = new Array();
menuItem[0] = {label: "ANIMUS", link: "#"};
menuItem[0].subMenuItem = new Array();
menuItem[0].subMenuItem[0] = {label: "HISTÃ“RIA", link:"movies/historia.swf"};
menuItem[0].subMenuItem[1] = {label: "EQUIPE", link:"movies/equipe.swf"};

Menu Using Array
Hi, I'm beginning to look at using Arrays for menus as they are cleaner.

Arrays are new to me, and I have problems getting them to work.

Currently I'm doing something like this.

menu1.onRollOver = function() {
menu1.gotoAndStop("Selected");
};
menu1.onRollOut = function() {
menu1.gotoAndStop("Normal");
};
menu1.onRelease = function() {
do something;
};

This is the code I've tried and it doesn't work.

var mainMenu:Array = ["menu1","menu2","menu3","menu4"];
for (i = 0; i < mainMenu.length; i++) {
mainMenu[i].onRollOver = function() {
mainMenu[i].gotoAndStop("Selected");
}
};

Somebody advise me on how I should get it working?

Menu Reorder - Array?
Hi-
having trouble deciding how this problem should be solved.
I have a three item menu:

A
B
C

when the user clicks on A - i want the menu to reorder, so that A moves down to the C postion and C and B move up - and so on with the other possibilities...

Do i create an array of movie clips and .y positions? Or is this a Tell Target situation? or maybe even swap depths?
As you can see i am not sure how to start.

thanks in advance for any help.

cheers

Array Menu Problem
hey there, i have this there little floating mouse tool tip, that is supposed to display the name of an object in the menu array, "tip" but for some god awful reason that i can't figure out, the loop doesn't give the array property to every menu item, instead it waits till the end and populates all of them?

anyway heres the code see if you can tell what i'm doing wrong

// -- this is the array -- //

Code:
on (release) {
if (nMenuOpen == false) {
e = "_base.jpg";
nDropList.menuData = [{url:b+"166"+e, tip:"166 BASE"}, {url:b+"163e"+e, tip:"163E BASE"}, {url:b+"163g"+e, tip:"163G BASE"}, {url:b+"245"+e, tip:"245 BASE"}, {url:b+"401"+e, tip:"401 BASE"}, {url:b+"547g"+e, tip:"547G BASE"}, {url:b+"1062"+e, tip:"1062 BASE"}, {url:b+"b2"+e, tip:"B2 BASE"}, {url:b+"b332"+e, tip:"B332 BASE"}, {url:b+"b522"+e, tip:"B522 BASE"}];
nMenuOn(108.05);
} else if (nMenuOpen == true) {
nMenuOff();
}
}
// -- and this here is the function -- //

Code:
function nSlideDown() {
_parent.nDropList._visible = false;
for (i=0; i<menuData.length; i++) {
this.attachMovie("nDropDown", "item"+i, i);
this["item"+i].nThumb.loadMovie(menuData[i].url);
trace(["tip START "+i+" : "]+menuData[i].tip);
this["item"+i].nBtn.onRollOver = function() {
toolTip.alphaTo(100, .2, "linear", .02);
// this line ****s it up
toolTip.toolTipText.text = ["hello ****o"+i]; //menuData[i].tip;
};
this["item"+i].nBtn.onRollOut = function() {
toolTip.alphaTo(0, .2, "linear", .02);
};
this["item"+i].nBtn.onRelease = function() {
};
onEnterFrame = function () {
var t = this["item"+i].nThumb.getBytesTotal();
var a = this["item"+i].nThumb.getBytesLoaded();
var b = t-a;
var p = int((a/t)*100);
if (p>99) {
this["item"+i].nThumb._visible = true;
}
};
trace(["tip END "+i+" : "]+menuData[i].tip);
trace("hello there "+i);
}
this._visible = true;
for (i=0; i<menuData.length; i++) {
this["item"+i].tween("_y", this["item"+i]._height*i, 0.2, "linear");
}
_parent.nMenuOpen = true;
}
any help would be marvelous

[F8] Multidimensional Array For Nav Menu?
Ok, I have a feeling that I'm going about this all wrong, but anywho:

I have a site with a three level nav bar. I've created movie clips for the menu elements (easier for positioning) with mc_level1, mc_sub1, mc_sub2, mc_tert1_2, mc_tert2_1, etc.

In my actionscript, where I'm defining menu behavior/tweens, I want to have a multidimensional array to keep the elements of the menu, so that:

menu = new Array(4)
menu[0] = new Array(2)
menu[0][1] = new Array(mc_tert_0_0, mc_tert_0_1, mc_tert_0_2)

but I'd also like to be able to reference level 1 and level 2 menu items by the array like:

menu[0] = mc_Support
menu[0][1] = mc_Volunteer
menu[0][1][2] = mc_tert_0_2

Does this make sense? Are you allowed to have aliases for array levels, or should I just create three arrays?

Arrange Menu Array
Hi all,

Im after a menu that will do the following

Say theres 10 items, when you click on item 4 for example, that will move to the top of the array and the rest will arrange themself below that automatically, click on another item below that it will go to the top of the array and the remaining items below will rearrange etc.

I've searched through this site a heap of times already and found nothing to that effect, also googled it but im not really sure what terms i should be using.

cheers

Xml Menu/array Problem
I've been trying to fix this menu for a while but it's all going a bit pear shaped. sorry for posting the whole code but i really have hit a brick wall!

basically i have a menu that reads an xml file - it has one level of drop downs.

the vertical position of each drop down menu item is stored in an array and then used later when the drop down becomes visible.

PHP Code:

heightPos = item._y+(_root.itemHeight*(j+1))
_root.menuArray[i][j] = heightPos;

for some reason some of the values are not being stored and as a result the drop downs aren't positioning correctly - but tracing the value 'heightPos' shows that it is there?!

any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

ps. if i change the order of the menu items in the xml file it seems to effect the first one?

Sliding Menu Array
Hi all! I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. I am trying to recreate this menu system http://www.karinabednorz.de...the part where you click on one of the names under the word "fotografen", and I'm really new to scripting, and have come up with this (see below), which obviously isn't working. Could someone please help me out?

Thanks very much in advance,
-Melanie

ActionScript Code:
_root.targety = 1;
speed = 4;
slide_array = new Array("0", "200", "300");
_root.i=0

_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
starty = this._y;
vertikal = _root.targety-starty;
this._y= starty+(vertikal/speed);
}
_root.print.onRelease=function(){
_root.targety=1
_root.i=0
}
_root.web.onRelease=function(){
_root.targety=200
_root.i=1
}
_root.photo.onRelease=function(){
_root.targety=300
_root.i=2
}
_root.next.onRelease=function(){
if(_root.i==2){
_root.i=0}
_root.targety=slide_array[_root.i]
}
_root.previous.onRelease=function(){
if(_root.i==0){
_root.i=1}
_root.targety=slide_array[_root.i]
}

Help With Really Simple Array/menu
OK. This is probably excruciatingly simple to most of you, but it's driving me a bit mad. I have movieclip names, and the links they should link to.

In my "for" statement, it should run through each movieclip and associate each with its link.

The problem is that onRelease, the getURL always goes to the last URL (oLinks.link4 = "free.html").

I understand that this is because that's the last value the thisLink variable is given, but I really don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Cheers

Code:
var oLinks:Object = new Object();
oLinks.mc0 = mcAbout;
oLinks.mc1 = mcCoaching;
oLinks.mc2 = mcTraining;
oLinks.mc3 = mcContact;
oLinks.mc4 = mcFree;
oLinks.link0 = "about.html";
oLinks.link1 = "coaching.html";
oLinks.link2 = "training.html";
oLinks.link3 = "contact.html";
oLinks.link4 = "free.html";
//
var numberOfLinks:Number = 5;
//
for (var i = 0; i<numberOfLinks; i++) {
thisMC = oLinks["mc"+i];
thisLink = oLinks["link"+i];
//trace("thisMC is"+thisMC+" and thisLink is: "+thisLink);
thisMC.onRelease = function() {
//trace("onRelease called");
getURL(thisLink);
};

How To Place Array Menu Within Mc And Add Scrolling
I would like to to place a menu (that is created with arrays and dynamically created MCs and textfields inside a movie clip so that the content can be scrolled. Anyone know how to make this work? My experiments have failed so far. I'm using Flash X 2004. I'm guessing that the container clip would need a background with _alpha set to 0 to give the clip a visible width and height so that the scroller can be attached to it.

Menu Array Doesn´t Work

Popuplating My Menu With Info From An Array
Hi,

I'd like to know how to populate a menu with using words from an array.

So say I have:

Code:
BmacNames = ["maps", "web", "news", "gmail", "PHOTOS", "LINKS"];
and then I wan to put them into a text field.

So I have this:

Code:

function CatMenu()
{
gmcCatMenu = this;
BmacButtons = [];
gmcCatMenu._x = Stage.width-555;
var _l2 = 0;
while (_l2 < CAT_COUNT)
{
BmacButtons[_l2] = this.attachMovie("sCatButton", "mcCat" + _l2, _l2, {name: BmacNames[_l2], index: _l2});
_l2++;
} // end while
nextX = 0;
_l2 = 0;
while (_l2 < CAT_COUNT)
{
(BmacButtons[_l2]._x = BmacButtons[_l2].origX = nextX, nextX = nextX + (BmacButtons[_l2].mcName.mcText.txtText.textWidth / 2 + BmacButtons[_l2 + 1].mcName.mcText.txtText.textWidth / 2 + CATMENU_RESTSPACE));
_l2++;
} // end while
this.shiftBackItems();
}

function CatButton()
{
this.mcName.mcText.txtText.text = this.name;
this.hitArea = this.mcHitArea;
this.mcHitArea._visible = false;
this.folderName = "/" + this.name.toLowerCase() + "/";
this.mycol = new Color(this);
if (gCurURL != undefined && gCurURL == this.folderName)
{
this.mcName.gotoAndStop("selected");
this.enabled = false;
} // end if
} // End of the function
BmacNames = ["maps", "web", "news", "gmail", "PHOTOS", "LINKS"];
Can someone tell me why this isn't working?

Thanks

Dynamic Menu With Array And Loop
