Not super efficient, but definitely readable and functionally comprehensive:
// Assigns common property values to all dynamic text fields within a specified
timeline.
function setCommonTextFieldProperties(targetClip:MovieClip):Void
{
// defaults to targeting the root timeline
if (!targetClip)
{
targetClip = _level0;
}
// cycles through all of a movie clip's child objects, looking for dynamic
text fields or movie clips
for (var propertyName in targetClip)
{
// sets property values for each dynamic text field child
if (targetClip[propertyName] instanceof TextField &&
targetClip[propertyName].type == 'dynamic')
{
with (targetClip[propertyName])
{
autoSize = 'left';
// additional properties can be assigned
}
}
else
{
// recursively invokes this function for each movie clip child
// obs: components are bypassed because properties that reference
ancestors cause infinite looping
if (targetClip[propertyName] instanceof MovieClip &&
!(targetClip[propertyName] instanceof UIObject))
{
arguments.callee(targetClip[propertyName]);
}
}
}
}
this.setCommonTextFieldProperties();
