SetInterval Dynamicly?

Loading A Swf Dynamicly Which Also Loads A Swf Dynamicly ?
ok; here is the situation;
i have three movies
first one is A
second B
and the third C
B loads C dynamically when pressed a button in it
A loads B dynamically when pressed a button in it
here is the problem;
I open A and pressed the button to load B dynamically, everthing is ok, B is loaded...
But then when i press the button (on dynamically loaded B) to load C, nothing happens?

isn't it possible in flash mx to load something dynamically, from a movie which is loaded also dynamically?

sorry for my awful english & thanks for replies...

Custom Objects And Internal SetInterval Loops -> A Problem Stopping The SetInterval
Let's say I had a class like this:


PHP Code:



var someVar = new Widget();

function Widget() {
    // Some variables, etc...
    this.int_someCommand = 0;
    // Activate the function on instantiation
    this.someCommand();
};

Widget.prototype.someCommand = function() {
    clearInterval(this.int_someCommand);
    this.int_someCommand = setInterval(this, 'someCommandLoop', 50);
};
Widget.prototype.someCommandLoop = function() {
    trace("THIS IS A WIDGET LOOP!");
}; 




...now, I was always under the impression that if you delete an object in Flash, the setInterval loops associated with it would die as well. But when I try to:


PHP Code:



// At some other point in my timeline...
delete someVar; 




or:


PHP Code:



someVar = new Object(); 




...the original loop is still running (I can tell just by reading the trace). How do I go about properly terminating a setInterval loop inside an Object without having to call a clearInterval()? Or is a clearInterval() the only way?

Thanks.

Tween Class, Does It Use Setinterval? Getting Strange Setinterval Type Problem
I have a gallery with small thumbnails. Upon clicking a thumbnail, I am using the Tween class to pull clips from an array and fade them between each other, loading the clips into a container.

When I click the thumbnail it loads the .swf fine and plays the Tween Class animation just as it's supposed to, however if I click any other thumbnail and go back to that first one the timing gets totally screwed up and the fades get jittery and overlap each other, much like it does with setInterval if you don't clear the intervals.

Is there a way to clear the Tween Class? Does it's timer run on setInterval?


This is the code I am using for the tween class


Thanks!


Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

//content movieclips put into an array
var mcArray:Array = new Array(content1, content2);
for (var k in mcArray) {
mcArray[k]._alpha = 0;
}

// tween class has something called "OnEnterFrameBeacon" and it is added to the stage
// when we import the as file, so I wanted to get rid of it.
var n:Number = 0;

function playFades() {
if (n<mcArray.length) {
var tween_handler1:Object = new Tween(mcArray[n], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true);
tween_handler1.onMotionFinished = function() {
//trace("motion finished by "+mcArray[n]);
//n++;
var tween_handler2:Object = new Tween(mcArray[n], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 100, 0, 3.5, true);
tween_handler2.onMotionFinished = function() {
//trace("motion finished by "+mcArray[n]);
n++;
playFades();
};
};
} else {
n = 0;
playFades();
}
}
playFades();

Dynamicly Stopping MCs
I need to know how to stop a movie clip thats nested, and numbered dynamically. (ex. rung.rung1.stop(); rung.rung2.stop()
If you need more information, see below.


Information:
I have a movie clip (ladder), that uses:

Code:
duplicateMovieClip(rung1,"rung"+numRungs,numRungs);
in the parent of that very same movie clip, I have the lines:

Code:
if (ladder.numRungs == 32) {
for (x=1; x<33; x++) {
ladder.eval("rung"+x).rung.stop();
}
ladder.numRungs++;
}
The important part is:
ladder.eval("rung"+x).rung.stop();
I guess thats not legal, because it doesn't stop any thing at all. If I use:
lader.rung1.rung.stop();
it works fine..............
What do you do to dynamically stop MCs

Loading MOV Dynamicly
I would like to load MOV files into flash. The links to the MOV files are set in an XML file. Does anybody have an idea to let these movies play in flash by using some sort of player in flash? It has to be possible to add movies in the XMl fiel. so you can't use File-> import. So the idea is that I have a variable with the moviename. and flash has to play the link of this varioable.

Any Ideas?

Thx

How To Target An XML Dynamicly?
PHP Code:



private var myXML:XML =         <companies>            <company name="Sun Inc.">                <department name="Accounting">                    <employee name="Paul"/>                    <employee name="Jill"/>                </department>                <department name="Development">                    <employee name="Ann"/>                    <employee name="Peter"/>                </department>            </company>            <company name="Moon Inc.">                <department name="Accounting">                    <employee name="Bill"/>                    <employee name="Sam"/>                </department>                <department name="Development">                    <employee name="Jenny"/>                    <employee name="John"/>                </department>            </company>        </companies>;private var myNewXML:XML;private function init():void {    myNewXML = myXML.copy();    delete myNewXML.company.department.employee;    getContent(myNewXML.company[1].department[1]);}private function getContent(xml:XML):void {    //get xml employees from myXML based on the xmlobject i get} 




Based on the position in myNewXML, how do I dynamicly get the content in the original myXML (I want to extract the employees from the myXML)?

I know I can get the position with xml.childIndex() and traverse through parents with xml.parent() but I dont know how I would write the syntax to actually target the original myXML.

(This code is simplified and cut down from a larger context, it may seem abit pointless in this context)

Dynamicly Name Mc Instances
So the problem is this:
I want to place 24 instances of the same movie clip on stage in a grid 6 by 4.
I'm doing that using a loop:

Code:
for (var i:uint=1 ; i<=24 ; i++){
for (var x:uint=0 ; x <6 ; x++ ){
for (var y:uint=0 ; y<4 ; y++){
var c:Tile = new Tile();
c.stop();
c.x = x*63;
c.y = y*63;
var r:uint = Math.floor(Math.random()*24);

addChild(c);
What i would like to achieve is give a name to eveny next instance (Tile1, Tile2, Tile3)so i could have one of 24 tiles differ from other (go to frame 2 f.ex.).
No idea how to do that. Please help...

Can You Create Text Dynamicly ?
Is there a way in action script to create a field that displays, say a date, depending on what the user does. All in actionscript...without (or very little) use of multiple objects.
For example:
User clicks buttonA. field displays 1925.
User clicks buttonB. same field displays 1950.
and so on...

The help is MUCHO appreciated ! Thanks in advance!

Setting Variables Dynamicly In MX
In flash 5.0 the following syntax was accepted for setting the variables x1, x2 up to say x30
to "nn1", "nn2,....."nn30", respectivly:

for(i=1;i<31;i++)
{
eval("x"+i)="nn"+i
}
This would assign x1 to "nn1" and so on.

But in MX you are not allowed to use eval on the left side of "="
How is this "problem" solved here?

Dynamicly Dealing With Functions.
Hi all,

I have the following code that doesn't work. Now I have to copy-past 20 times the function so I'd like to better that part.

This code works but is a little to mutch...

function setKap31 () {
_root.kappen2.kap31Color.setRGB(r << 16 | g << 8 | b);
}
function setKap32 () {
_root.kappen2.kap32Color.setRGB(r << 16 | g << 8 | b);
}
etc.

This I have in mind:

for(tel=30; tel <= 50; tel++)
Eval("function Kap"+tel+" ()");
Eval("_root.kappen.kap"+tel+"Color.setRGB("+r+" << 16 | "+g+" << 8 | "+b+")");
{

A guy sad that I had to use [ ] ..??

If someone cound give me a pointer in this matter... Thanx!

Dynamicly Changing A MC From A Variable
hi,

I want to get a variable out of a database, put it in an xml file and change the size of a movie clip based on that variable.

can anyone help me w/ the flash portion of this? I've found a few tutorials but they are far more complacated then I need.

so my xml file will have a given number, say 77.

I have a MC called Grower.

I want the MC to slowly change from 5 pixels wide to 77 pixels wide.

I think the syntax would be something like;

grower.width=grower.width + 5
do until grower.width >=77

does that make sense? I'm just not real sure of the syntax and how to get it from the xml page.

Thanks for any suggestions.

How Do I Get The Name Of A Dynamicly Made Movieclip?
Hi there All, Man its been driving me nutts!!!!
I have been trying to get a heap of dynamicly created movieclips to have a getURL atached to it. so I need to know there names.
ARRRRR its killing me, Im not a coder.
this is the code. in the main stage,
---------------------------------------------
// register root as environment
Object.environment = this;

// create camera object
this.cam = {x:0, y:0, z:500, dx:0, dy:0, dz:-500};

// set environmental constants
this.fl = 1000;

// create 'space' to which all words will be attached
this.createEmptyMovieClip("space",1);
// center 'space' on the stage
space._x=300;
space._y=169;

// a string of words related to the wind
this.somewords = "wind breeze storm stormy tornado text space three dimensional infinite recursive instance object distort environmental atmospheric blow gush whoosh thrash whirl push roar rush caress flow swoop";
// convert the string of words into an array of words
this.wordList = new Array();
this.wordList = this.somewords.split(" ");

// create one instance for each word in the list
for (n=0;n<this.wordList.length;n++) {
// pick a word from the list
var word = Object.environment.wordList[n];
var x = random(600)-300;
var y = random(337)-169;
var z = random(Object.environment.fl*2)-Object.environment.fl;

// create an instance of the SpaceWord object
nombre = "word"+String(depth++);
initialization = {txtword: word, x: x, y: y, z: z};
space.attachMovie("spaceWord", nombre, depth, initialization);
}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.cam.dz+=.5;
// move the camera to its destination
this.cam.x+=(this.cam.dx-this.cam.x)/10;
this.cam.y+=(this.cam.dy-this.cam.y)/10;
this.cam.z+=(this.cam.dz-this.cam.z)/30;
}

stop();

---------------------------------------------------------
and this is the code on the movieclip

#initclip
// constructor
function SpaceWord() {
// set up button functionality
this.btnSquare.onPress = function() {
//_root.current = this.name;
getURL(this._name);

Object.environment.cam.dz = this._parent.z+Object.environment.fl*.9;
// disable and hide button
this.enabled = false;
this._visible = false;
};
// set continual function to render word
this.onEnterFrame = this.render;
}
// allow SpaceWord to inherit MovieClip properties
SpaceWord.prototype = new MovieClip();
// instance methods
SpaceWord.prototype.render = function() {
var zActual = Object.environment.fl+this.z-Object.environment.cam.z;
// has the object moved behind the camera?
if (zActual>0) {
// object is still visible
// calculate scale
var scale = Object.environment.fl/zActual;
// set position using camera as an offset
this._x = (this.x-Object.environment.cam.x)*scale;
this._y = (this.y-Object.environment.cam.y)*scale;
// set size
this._xscale = scale*100;
this._yscale = scale*100;
// set fog
this._alpha = 100 - 99 * zActual/Object.environment.fl*.5;
} else {
// object has moved behind camera
// reposition further down the line
this.z += Object.environment.fl*2;

// enable button
this.btnSquare.enabled = true;
this.btnSquare._visible = true;
}
};
SpaceWord.prototype.setWord = function(s) {
this.txtWord = s;
};
SpaceWord.prototype.setPosition = function(x, y, z) {
this.x = x;

// Connect the class with the linkage ID for this movie clip

Loading Color Value Dynamicly
Hi, I'm curently working on a site loading all it's parameters and content from external files. I actually have a problem setting the background color for some items.

I use this method where I tried in many way to load the rgb value from my external text file:


Code:
myColor = new Color(main_txt.bg_main);
myColor.setRGB(0x566D96);
Actually the line "_root.:couleur_header = myLoadVar.couleur_header;" load the rgb value 566D96, if I test it standalone with a text field it loads the value properly. Then I try to load this value to my actionscript, I tried with or witouth the eval argument:


Code:
_root.:couleur_header = myLoadVar.couleur_header;
myColor = new Color(header_status.status_bg);
myColor.setRGB(eval("0x" add couleur_header));
Right now the result is a blank value and a black background.

Any suggestions how I could get it to work?

nInterval = setInterval(activeFunction, 30);
}

mc78.onRollOut = function():Void {
active = 0;
mcArea = this;
clearInterval(nInterval);
nInterval = setInterval(inActiveFunction, 30);
}
Now i do managed to change the scale of the MC number 78 (one of the areas), but i'm a little stuck on changing the color. How do i change the color of the MC('s) on rollOver?

Also any other suggestions on how to make it even easier would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!

Dynamicly Populated Grid
Hello,

I hope that someone here can help me. Here it goes. I am populating my flash scene with a dynamic grid whitch consists of MCs that contain a button. There are generated in 90 buttons Y and 120 buttons X. Making a tottal of 10.800 buttons that are generated.

I will post my code for better understanding. I have two different MCs. One, square is normal, and the other, square_s is the occupied state of the button.

Now i would like to import a xml file, that would have a id number of the field and the state of it (normal or occupied). That id field would than be compared to the "k" variable in the code bellow. And than depending on the xml state of the button it would display the propper MC. I am a beginner at AS, so i would be very grateful for any help given to me.

In the code;

if(k==2 or k==2010){
duplicateMovieClip ("square_s", "square_s"+k, k);

// setting the x position of the duplicated square movieclips
setProperty ("square_s"+k, _x, distance*i);
// setting the y position of the duplicated square movieclips
setProperty ("square_s"+k, _y, distance*j);
// incrmenting the value of k
k++;
}

i was just testing to see if i set a random number of a field, if it will dissplay correctly. The new code should be something like this;

if(k==(id.variable.from.xml)){

And one more thing. How could i apply a link in the code bellow, so it woul generate dynamicly. Ex. index.php?field="(The K variable)"? I just dont know how to do it.


I hope it is not too complicated or anythink. I bet that it isnt going to be souch a problem for all you experts out there. I would like to thank everyone in advance. Thank you.


Code:
// Variable xgridlines is defined for number of grid lines on x axis
xgridlines = 91;

// Variable ygridlines is defined for number of grid lines on y axis
ygridlines = 91;
// Variable distance is defined for the distance between each grid
distance = 10;

// set property function is used to make the square movieclip invisible
setProperty ("square", _visible, false);
setProperty ("square_s", _visible, false);
// Variable k is used in the forloop for
// giving different instance name to the duplicated movieclips
k = 1;

// Making a nested forloop for duplicating the square movieclip
for (j=1; j<=xgridlines-1; j++) {
for (i=1; i<=ygridlines-1; i++) {
// duplicating the square movieclip

if(k==2 or k==2010){
duplicateMovieClip ("square_s", "square_s"+k, k);

// setting the x position of the duplicated square movieclips
setProperty ("square_s"+k, _x, distance*i);
// setting the y position of the duplicated square movieclips
setProperty ("square_s"+k, _y, distance*j);
// incrmenting the value of k
k++;
}else{

duplicateMovieClip ("square", "square"+k, k);
// setting the x position of the duplicated square movieclips
setProperty ("square"+k, _x, distance*i);
// setting the y position of the duplicated square movieclips
setProperty ("square"+k, _y, distance*j);
// incrmenting the value of k
k++;
}


}
}

&items=4&




i would like to have buttons who's name is the "&name" var and have the buttons generate themselves as to the data that is sent back from the d base...
So if i insert more data into the d base it will automatically generate another button in flash

each var has a "name" value "link" value and "type" value
