Re: [Flashcoders] Creating Dynamic addEventListeners with AS3

Whatever the parent of the State_XX buttons are, you can refer to them as
named children of that parent.

So, if it's the current class use the this keyword:

this[State_ + rs[i]].addEventListener(etc...);

If it's another clip, etc, just refer to it by name:

someClipThatHasTheStateButtons[State_ + rs[i]].addEventListener(etc...);

Make sure you've named the instances via the IDE Instance name property or
have explicitly set the name property of the Buttons.

 On my flash stage I have 50 buttons all named with the convention of
 State_IN, State_MI, State_WI, etc.

 At the present time I have 50 lines like the one line below of:

 State_IN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StateButtonClicked);


 What I am trying to do is when I retrieve the recordset back from the
 coldfusion component is to loop through the results like

 function GetClientsWithinCategory_Result(rs.Object) {
 for (var i:int = 0; i  rs.length; i++) {
  State_rs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StateButtonClicked);
  // The Value of rs[i] will return the 2 letter abriviation of the
 State eg: IN, WI, etc
 }
 }


 How do I go about combining State_ + the result from rs[i] so that
 when a user clicks on Indiana it will run the actionscript within the
 State Button Clicked Function

You can try something along the lines of

var stateButton = getChildByName(State_ + rs[i]);
stateButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StateButtonClicked);

Might it be possible to only add a single listener to the parent for all
buttons?
