[Flashcoders] ScrollPane of buttons_ Not

That works a treat.

I want this class to exist independently of any onRelease functions which
have been assigned directly to movieclip instances.
i.e. I don't want to have to include a call to my class in the onRelease
function of every movieclip instance - I just want my class to listen for
any onRelease events, and then do some action depending on which clip was
clicked.
The idea is that I could then include this class in movies which have
already been created without having to go back through and add a call to
my
class into every button and movieclip onRelease function.
On www.mosessupposes.com I have found this CallbackDispatcher.
Link to the Class: http://www.mosessupposes.com/2005/CallbackDispatcher.zip
Here's a example how it works:
CallbackDispatcher.initialize(my_mc);
my_mc.addEventListener ('onRollOver', this);
function onRollOver(o:Object) {
trace('rollover for '+o.target+' captured in scope: '+this);
}
Here's the copied text of the entry:
Often when I'm writing classes if there is some simple clip that I'm
only using callbacks from, like onPress, I end up writing references and
callback functions onto it, which is kinda tacky.
Use this class like EventDispatcher to be able to addEventListener on
any built-in callback. Works with MCs, TextFields, and Buttons, and
includes multiple-simultaneous add/remove methods. Examples included!
Hope that helps.

I have many functions in my movie.
On press of different buttons, I would like to cal different functions.

I am not calling them directly.
Each button press goes through a couple of common functions and then
at the each of it, it needs to call a specif function based on the
button which was clicked.
So I tried creating a var like this:
var _root.current:Function;
Then on press of the button, I would update the value like this:
on(release){
_root.current = someNewName;
_root.callToSomeFunction();
}
//--
function callToSomeFunction(){
current();
}
function someNewName(){
trace(OK);
}
This does not work.
Does the value _root.current gets stored as a function?
Am i doing it right?

RE: [Flashcoders] How to use the same MC instance in atweenedanimation?
Ok that's a good idea! So just wanted to check that fundamentally each time you want to animate a MC using tween animation on the time line you have to create a 2nd instance of the sprite for the end keyframe? So say MC is on frame 1 you have to press F6 to insert a 2nd keyframe at say frame 10 and then right click on frame 5 and choose create motion tween. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: 25 November 2005 20:34 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] How to use the same MC instance in atweenedanimation?

I have a flash 7 file which contains two channels each containing MC's that I am setting the dynamic text values from Director and once set with the correct values I wish for them to animate onto the flash stage.

Re: [Flashcoders] ScrollPane of buttons_ Not
The way i set it up, the scrollPane content path is pointed to the
linkage identifier of a movie clip in the library. That movie clip
has code in the first frame to create empty movie clips that load the
content I want (in this case, an array of jpegs from the web server).
As you create the empty movie clips that load the content, you should
be able to assign each of them an onRelease, onRollover, onPress,
etc., to do whatever you want them to do. My code may be more complex
than what you need -- if your buttons are statically embedded in a
movie clip, just code them as you ordinarily would, and tell
ScrollPane (via its content path) to attach the entire clip.
Here's what I have right now, but it's not loading and distributing
all the jpegs quite right just yet (works fine locally but not
perfectly over the web). It loads all the jpegs, one at a time, from
an array declared elsewhere in the movie. Distributes the jpegs into
two rows as they're loaded, and assigns event actions to each one.
When there are no more jpegs to load, it turns off a Loading message
and builds a scrollbar as needed. If assigning actions this way, you
should just call functions that call press1(), rollover1(), press2(),
etc., so you can name them dynamically. You can define what press1(),
press2(), etc. do, elsewhere in the movie, so you have in effect
built a lookup table of functions.
Here's my code. I'd love it if anyone can explain why the jpegs line
up beautifully when running locally, but get jumbled and overlapped
when loading from a webserver (even after they're cached!):
/*/
stop();
// x position for first thumbnail:
var xPos = 5;
// variable to count up while creating loader clips:
var i = 0;
// set the spacing between the thumbnails:
margin = 12;
// set the y coords for the top and bottom rows:
row1Y = 11;
row2Y = 122;
//
//
loadThumbs = function () {
this.createEmptyMovieClip(holder + i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
// store name temporarily:
currentHolder = this[holder + i];
// create movieClipLoader to handle loading:
this[myLoader + i] = new MovieClipLoader();
// load thumbnail images into the holder:
this[myLoader + i].loadClip(images/ + _global.stock[i] +
T.jpg, currentHolder);
// create a listener for the movieClipLoader to monitor load status:
var myListener = new Object();
// on load init for each jpeg, space it correctly into two rows:
myListener.onLoadInit = function() {
currentHolder._x = xPos;
// drop every other thumbnail into the second row (%
= modulo in Flash):
// note first i=0, so i%2 would != 1:
if (i % 2 == 1) {
currentHolder._y = row2Y;
// after placing an element in the second
row, increment the xPos for the next element:
xPos += currentHolder._width + margin;
} else {
currentHolder._y = row1Y;
}
// establish event actions for the thumbnails:
currentHolder.onRollOver = function() {
hintOn(stock[Number(this._name.substr(6))]);
};
//
currentHolder.onRollOut = currentHolder.onDragOut =
currentHolder.onReleaseOutside = function () {
hintOff();
};
//
currentHolder.onRelease = function() {
trace(stock[Number(this._name.substr(6))]);
loadLargeImage();
};
// recurse this function if there are more thumbnails to load:
if (i stock.length - 1) {
i++;
loadThumbs();
} else {
// turn off the Loading display and built
the scrollbar:
_root.loadingMssg._visible = 0;
/// trace(done loading);
_root.thumbsPane.scrollBar._width =
_root.thumbsPane.bg._width * _root.thumbsPane.bg._width /
_root.thumbsPane.holder._width;

_root.thumbsPane.bg._width) {
_root.thumbsPane.scrollBar._width = 0;

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic Function problem
Hi,
thats strange becoz i copied and pasted ur code and it worked, this means
it is probably a scoping issue.
Anyway, the idea of calling functions dynamically is not bad practice in
itself, it just may lead to hard to understand and maintainable code.
Thats just simply a thing to look out for, i use it a lot myself as well,
even for xml parsing.
The switch statement mentioned in the other post is a good alternative, or
mapping it dynamically like u were trying to do in the first place i think.

I will tell you my problem.
I am usinf XPATH to load XML files.
The init() and xmlloaded() functions are common for each call.
But at the successful loading of xmlloaded()
I would like to go to a specific function based on which XML has loaded.
Can you suggest some good alternative?
