[Flashcoders] Re: a function tells to move to a frame and then update content in that frame

[Isaac Alves]

oops the code down there should be:

function updateContent(e:Event):void {

   container.gotoAndStop(2);

   link = String(e.target.frameLink);
   counter = 0;

   if (content[link].tit != undefined)
   {
   container._tit.text = content[link].tit;
   counter ++;
   }
   else
   {
   container._tit.text = ;
   }
etc...

 Hello!

 In the following code, i tell the Flash runtime to go to frame2 and
 update the content of this frame.

 The problem is that, the first time this function runs it throws the error:

 TypeError: Error #1009:

 I believe that happens because it tries to update container._tit
 before render the screen, so it will be still in frame 1. It goes to
 frame 2 but doesn't update the _tit textfield.

 I've tried to solve it this way: instead of using gotoAndStop(2) i've
 called another functiion with that statement and updateAfterEvent();

 but it seems that it is not a method of the Event class.

 Any solution ??
 thanks in advance!!



 function updateContent(e:Event):void {

        gotoAndStop(2);

        link = String(e.target.frameLink);
        counter = 0;

        if (content[link].tit != undefined)
        {
                container._tit.text = content[link].tit;
                counter ++;
        }
        else
        {
                container._tit.text = ;
        }
 etc...

HEy Jason, don't worry, that's not a porno web site.

tit is for title ..:D

if that's not the answer you were expecting,  it is not a website, it
is a powerpoint-like-presentation to be run off-line, with a whole
bunch of an endless content (that is, a terrible nightmare), that i
have to pick from .doc files.

so everything is in an xml file, and this function puts the content of
a specific element in the content.xml file and organizes it all on the
display list.

that was the only way i found to do this kind of job, otherwise (if i
put content directly into the .fla file)  the flash application gets
extremelly lagged and thus impossible to work, which was making me
completely insane .

so... that's i'mtrying to build this function that tells a certain
moviecli'p to go to a specific frame and then update content in that
frame, like searching text in an xml file and putting in the textfield
on that frame.

i'll have to do that because this updateContent function won't fit in
some specific frames of the presentation

thanks!
