Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles
Hey Glen,
Thanks for that, but I am not using a class in this case to get the
items, just a function.
Maybe I should be, but I could never figure out how to use classes
and there may lie-in the problem.
Think Flash 8. :) Sorry if that hurts a little..
Here is what I have //shortened
AS2 Code:::
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var thumbHolder:Object = new Object();
var picBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var colorBox:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
var picturesArry = [];
var colorHolder = [];
//Code for loading above arrays not included, but they load fine.
var pr:Number = -1;
function loadItems() {
if (pr (numimages - 1)) {
pr++;
thumbHolder = attachMovie(Affiliate_MC, Affiliate_MC + pr,
pr);
thumbHolder.ID = pr;
var parentID = thumbHolder.ID;
thumbHolder.LoadVars(parentID);
thumbHolder._x = 0;
thumbHolder._y = pr * spacing;
picBox = thumbHolder.attachMovie(picture_box, picture_box,
thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
picBox._width = 192;
picBox._height = 152;
picBox._x = 14;
picBox._y = 11;
colorBox = thumbHolder.attachMovie(FComboBoxSymbol, os1_ + pr,
thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
colorBox._width = 100;
colorBox._height = 17;
colorBox._x = 264;
colorBox._y = 110;
colorBox.enabled = true;
thumbHolder.pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(thumbHolder.pic,0);
var Colors:Array = new Array({label:Choose Color, data:});
colorBox.rowCount = colorHolder[pr].length;
// populate dataProvider
var colorBoxLength:Number = Colors.length;
for (n = 0; n colorHolder[pr].length; n++) {
Colors.push({label:colorHolder[pr][n],
data:colorHolder[pr][n]});
colorBoxLength++;
}
// set dropdown list
colorBox.setDataProvider(Colors);
if (colorBoxLength 3) {
colorBox.selectedItem = 1;
} else {
colorBox.selectedItem = 0;
}
var changeObj:Object = new Object();
changeObj = function(evt_obj:Object) {
var num:Number = thumbHolder.ID;
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[num][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else if (selectNum 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[num][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
_root.itemSelection_mc.satusTXT.htmlText = ComboBox did not
change;
}
};
colorBox.addEventListener(changeObj,this);
}
}
I am thinking that I need every colorBox to have its own
changeObj or
I need to be able to reference the picBox that is inside with that
colorBox thats being changed.
Structure of a single item is as follows:
Main Stage -
- thumbHolder (Main item MC)
- picBox (preview MC)
- colorBox (comboBox selection for this item)

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles
Have you tried:
colorBox.addEventListener(change, changeObj);
or
colorBox.addEventListener(change Delegate.create(this, changeObj);
I think you got your listener the wrong way around, but might be wrong?

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles
If you are doing multiple anonymous functions, you might have to use the naming convention for the combo boxes and picture boxes - if you have multiple instances of these - so when you get a change event on combo1, that's associated with picture_box_1, etc?

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles
I think you can use the _name of the clip to assign pr:
You might even be able to set this as a property on MovieClip as it's
not a closed class...
I am not sure about ComboBox though - try setting a property ID on it
like you do with thumbHolder.
From your code though, I can't work out how you are attaching the
combobox as a valid clip...
Here is what I managed to do by hacking your code to get the combo box
to trace out the message onChange...
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
var thumbHolder:Object = new Object();
var picBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var colorBox:ComboBox = new ComboBox();

for(var i = 0;i numimages;i++) {
picturesArry[i] = i + .jpg;
colorHolder[i] = [];
for(var j = 0;j 10;j++) {
colorHolder[i][j] = Colour + j;
}
}
//Code for loading above arrays not included, but they load fine.
var pr:Number = -1;
function loadItems() {
if (pr (numimages - 1)) {
pr++;
trace(loadItems + pr);
thumbHolder = attachMovie(Affiliate_MC, Affiliate_MC + pr, pr);
thumbHolder.ID = pr;
var parentID = thumbHolder.ID;
//thumbHolder.LoadVars(parentID);
thumbHolder._x = 0;
thumbHolder._y = pr * spacing;
picBox = thumbHolder.attachMovie(picture_box, picture_box,
thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
picBox._width = 192;
picBox._height = 152;
picBox._x = 14;
picBox._y = 11;
//colorBox = thumbHolder.attachMovie(FComboBoxSymbol, os1_ +
pr, thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
colorBox = this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, os1_ +
pr, thumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
colorBox._width = 100;
colorBox._height = 17;
colorBox._x = 264;
colorBox._y = 110;
colorBox.enabled = true;
thumbHolder.pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
//thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(thumbHolder.pic,0);
var Colors:Array = new Array({label:Choose Color, data:});
colorBox.rowCount = colorHolder[pr].length;
// populate dataProvider
var colorBoxLength:Number = Colors.length;
for (n = 0; n colorHolder[pr].length; n++) {
Colors.push({label:colorHolder[pr][n],
data:colorHolder[pr][n]});
colorBoxLength++;
trace(item + pr + Adding color + colorHolder[pr][n]);
}
// set dropdown list
colorBox.setDataProvider(Colors);
if (colorBoxLength 3) {
colorBox.selectedItem = 1;
} else {
colorBox.selectedItem = 0;
}
var changeObj:Object = new Object();

var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[num][0];

//thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else if (selectNum 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[num][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
//thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
_root.itemSelection_mc.satusTXT.htmlText = ComboBox did
not change;
}
};
colorBox.addEventListener(change,changeObj);
}
}
for(var i = 0;i numimages;i++) {
loadItems();
}

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox troubles
I think the problem is that it is nested inside a function loadItem
(). But not entirely sure.
I am aware that this is not the best practice, so I tried moving it
out of the function, but to no avail.
I have created the code by the book but it still does not work.
What am I doing wrong here???

The issue you are facing is that the function on the comboListen
object
(comboListen.change) steals your scope - so you don't have any
access to
all the things you need: picturesArry, thumbHolder etc.
So, you can either, forget creating an object to handle events and
just
put your change function right there:
function change(evt_obj:Object) {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];

thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);

colorBox.addEventListener(change, this);
Or, use the Delegate class to set the correct scope:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var comboListen = new Object();
comboListen.change = Delegate.create(this, onChange);
function onChange() {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {

Hi,
Are you doing something like the following - you need to use the
Delegate.create function to attach scope to your event handlers. I
can't remember if you can pass in the event object or not - try it?

Thanks for that Barry. I will test and see.
Thats funny, it seems I was so close at one point.
I had
function comboListen(evt_obj:Object) {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(comboListen);
Guess I forgot the this also..
Will let you know if one of these work.
Thanks again,

object
(comboListen.change) steals your scope - so you don't have any
access to
all the things you need: picturesArry, thumbHolder etc.
So, you can either, forget creating an object to handle events and
just
put your change function right there:
function change(evt_obj:Object) {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic, 0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(change, this);
Or, use the Delegate class to set the correct scope:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var comboListen = new Object();
comboListen.change = Delegate.create(this, onChange);
function onChange() {
var selectNum:Number = colorBox.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
}
colorBox.addEventListener(change, comboListen);
Barry.

Hello List,
Have a little snag on my hands. I am trying to get the value of a
selected comboBox to change the picture of another MC.
My code:
var comboListen = new Object();
comboListen.change = function(evt_obj:Object) {
trace(evt_obj.selectedIndex);
var selectNum:Number = evt_obj.selectedIndex;
if (selectNum = 1) {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][0];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
} else {
var pic = picturesArry[thumbHolder.ID][selectNum];
thumbHolder[picture_box].loadMovie(pic,0);
thumbHolder.LoadVars(pic);
}
};
colorBox.addEventListener(change,comboListen);
thumbHolder = main MC that holds the picture and the comboBox
[picture_box] = the picture MC inside thumbHolder that I want to
load into.
colorBox = the comboBox inside thumbHolder that I want to change
the picture MCs contents with.
FYI, by the time I get to using the listener, [picture_box] has
already been loaded with the first image in the array of pictures.
thumbHolder, colorBox and [picture_box] are dynamically loaded
onto the stage at run time.
How do I get colorBox's selection to change the picture in
thumbHolder[picture_box]?
Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. this is my
third day with this and I'm going crazy.
Is there something I need to import to control the comboBox?
I have
import mx.control.ComboBox;
already imported, do I need it?
