[Flashcoders] problem loading dynamically created menus
Hi coders. I have created some buttons based on an array ( for you
this might sound easy but I'm crushing my head right now)
the array has some names and with a for loop, I have my buttons with
the names of the arrays attached to them
(this.mc.somethingelse.text=arraynames)
at this point everything is ok, then I create some folders based on
that names(array). Then the problems happened when I try to order the
buttons to load the folders
based on the array names and the .swf file inside them. At this point
it only loads one, what happened with the others??? i don't know.
I'm clueless, I'd appreciate any help.
this is the code:
var menus = new Array ();
menus = [ commercial, children,portraits,models, weddings];
trace(menus.length);
for (i=0; imenus.length; i++){
var newButtons = menus[i];
trace (newButtons);
var buttons = this.attachMovie(screenCards,newButtons,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(buttons);
buttons._x=0;
buttons._x=-30*i*6
var names= buttons.titleCard.text= newButtons;
buttons.screenInside.loadMovie(botones/+newButtons+.jpg);
//so far this point everything is ok
buttons.onRelease = function (){
_root.photomenus.loadMovie(names+/+names+photogallery.swf);
//here it loads just one folder and share it with all the
buttons...why??
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] problem loading dynamically created menus
GD buttons.onRelease = function (){
GD _root.photomenus.loadMovie(names+/+names+photogallery.swf);
What do you think, what is the value of names when you click on a
button and the script inside the onRelease handler is executed?

Re: [Flashcoders] problem loading dynamically created menus
i would guess you need to pass the current iteration (i) to the
button so that it can access it
otherwise you'll iterate through your entire loop and only pass the
final number to all of the buttons
before you set your onRelease function, try passing a copy of the
names variable to the button
buttons.names = names
and then refer to the variable in the buttons locally like this
_root.photomenus.loadMovie(this.names+/+this.names
+photogallery.swf);
i think that should work

Re: [Flashcoders] problem loading dynamically created menus
Hi Attila, I think the values should be the one inside the the array:
weddings, models, portrait and so on
I don't know why the handler of every button point to only one
(weddings)

Re: [Flashcoders] problem loading dynamically created menus
Thanks Attila,
I solved it by embedding the buttons into a dynamic mc_holder and then
remve the parent.

Re: [Flashcoders] problem loading dynamically created menus
Thanks Allandt,
that is what I managed but I resolved it by using a mc_holder as the
parent and then just removing that, much easier and cleaner as suggested
by Sebastian.
Cheers
