i am migrating a project from AS2 to AS3 and had a dynamically built
menu and submenus like:
item1 | item2 | item3
subitem1-1 | subitem1-2 | subitem1-3
and i used the attachmovie to generate it and to get the main
movieclip from the library...
for (var i:Number=0; i < menuRecordSet.length; i++) {
attachMovie('mc_text', nomeMenu+i,
this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:mcXleft, _y:mcY});
}
i allready managed to make the items using the getDefinitionByName()
function, like this:
for (var j:Number = 1; j <=5; j++)
{
var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("FlashClasses.MenuItem") as
Class;
var instance:Object = new classRef();
addChild(instance)
instance.x = 100 + (j*12);
instance.y = 200;
}
and this works OK to create the submenuitems, but then i have to
remove them when i click on another menuitem and create the new
submenuitems.
then how do i reference to those instances of the class MenuItem if
they are automatically generated?
with attachmovie i had a different reference to each one of the
subitems and used that reference to remove them from stage and insert
them again.
