Hey guys I am having some issues with understanding AS3 and how all my
scope etc works. Can I get some type of explanation on this. Below is
some code I am trying to use in my first AS3 project but I can't seem
to get a few things to work out.
The problem I see is that since my pictLdr is being put in the slide
it inherits the slide's click event. But I don't want the pictLdr to
have a click event I just want the slide (container) to have the
event. When the pictLdr gets clicked now I am returned with a name
value for the pictLdr but I only want the name of the slide since it
will have the 'num' var in it and can tell me its position in the
slide list. But pictLdr can't.
I hope what I am asking makes sense. But I am slightly confused on all
this. I understand why pictLdr is getting the event now since its part
of the slide and with the new event model this is possible. But with
my old AS2 mind I can't work around on how I am supposed to work
through this. Please help! Thanks!
function createSlides(slides:Array):void {
var totalSlides:Number = slides.length;
//trace(totalSlides);
//create container to hold all the clips
for (var i:int = 0; i < totalSlides; i++) {
//trace(slides[i].num + " " + slides[i].pages[0]);
var slide:SlideContainer = new SlideContainer();
slide.x = 130;
slide.y = -180 + (320 * i);//position slide along the y-axis
slide.num = i;
slide.name = "slide" + i;
slide.buttonMode = true;
slide.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked);
container.addChildAt(slide, i);//container for each of the
slides and is a MC
//this will hold additional info like a background for the
images and a holder
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
pictLdr.x = 22;
pictLdr.y = 19;
pictLdr.name = "img";
slide.addChild(pictLdr);//code works fine if I addChild here.
var pictURL:String = "gallery/" + slides[i].pages[0];//path to
a jpg
for the gallery
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
pictLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoaded);
}
}
function clicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(event.target.name); //returns img
moveSlides(-1);
}
