[Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?

2007-04-30 Thread John Trentini 

Hi guys,


I want to create as many text fields (which eventually I would like to 
turn into buttons) as the length of an array. I also want to use the 
content of the array to populate the text of the fields created 
dynamically. I have tried everything I know but all I seem to get is 
one filed with the lasat item in the array, sheesh!


I've gone absolutely mad on this one (newish to actionScript, I am!) but 
can anyone tell me what  I am doing wrong here? I could do with a 
helping hand or seven =:-)




var myTxt:Array = new Array(branding, news, about us, print, 
marks, contact);

var myX = 430;
var menuArray:Array = new Array();
var ySpacing:Number = 90;
//

/*create  textFields**/
//
//

for(i=0; imyTxt.length; i++) {
   _root.createTextField(mytext+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);
   myId = _root[mytext+[i]];
   myId._y = ySpacing;
   ySpacing += 40;
   //   
   trace(myTxt[i]);//the trace works, it list all tyhe 
lements in the array but
   myId.text = myTxt[i];  // this one in not producing the appropriate 
results

   //
   myId.border = false;
   myformat = new TextFormat();
   myformat.font = Verdana;
   myformat.size = 14;
   myformat.bold = true;
   myformat.color = 0x55;
   myformat.align = right;
   //
   myId.selectable = false;
   myId.setTextFormat(myformat);
   //myId.text = myTxt[i];  //tried putting it at the end but no dah!
   //
}

SV: [Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?

2007-04-30 Thread Pierre Eklöf 
Looks like you´ve created the textfields on the same level. Create the
fields like this instead: 
_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], this.getNextHighestDepth(), myX, 0, 100,
30);

Cheers
Pierre
(first post, wahey!)

Just took a quick look, but I think that this line may be giving you 
trouble:


myId = _root[mytext+[i]];

You may want to try this instead:

var myId = _root.createTextField(mytext+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);

RE: [Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?

Hi,

Seen you code. Just change the following line of code:

_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);

To this one:

_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], i, myX, 0, 100, 30);

**

The problem with your code is that you are giving the same depth to all the
textfields. In flash you cannot assign the same depth to different objects
else it will remove the first object and place the new object on the same
depth.
