[Flashcoders] AS3: for in loops with nested MCs

2009-07-24 Thread Schnurgle Schnurgle 
I'm migrating an AS2 project to AS3. I'm not sure how to approach this part of 
the migration. I have a  MovieClip called us_states_mc. It contains 50 
MovieClips, one of each US state.  us_states_mc  has this code inside it:

for (var item in this)
{
this[item].id = item.toString();
this[item].onRelease = function ()
{
_root.zoomToState(this.id);
};
};

How can I recreate this functionality in AS3?

Hello :)

Read the reference AS3 of the MovieClip class :

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/MovieClip.html

The new display list implementation of the DisplayObjects is different in
AS3.

The MovieClip class inherit the DisplayObjectContainer class and you can use
now :

- the numChildren property to defines the number of childs in the MovieClip
- the getChildAt() method to keep all childs with a specific position

Example :

var action:Function = function( e:Event ):void
{
  trace( e ) ;
}

var item:DisplayObject ;
var size:int = zoomState.numChildren ;
for( var i:int = 0 ; isize ; i++ )
{
 item = zoomState.getChildAt( i ) ;
 item.addEventListener( Event.CLICK , action ) ;
}

If you want learn the AS3, read the documentation :-)

EKA+ :)

register the click listener to top MC and make it capture phase
true.. and keep checking the event.currentTarget.
hope this help.
