[Flashcoders] add string to a function
this is possibly a very basic problem, I'm still building my dynamic
global sub nav, slooowly.
what I want to know if can I add a string to a function,
I have my initial first level navigation, I click a button and then if the
button has children in that section it says true and then brings up the
corresponding children to populate that subnav,
I was going to have 3 separate functions for the subnavs
what I'm unsure about is the line: 'createSubNav "+page"();
///I wanted to then have the following functions createSubNavHis
createSubNavHerscreateSubNavTheirs
//is this possible?
//here is my code on the first level buttons///
function mouseClickHandler(e:Event):void {
//var siteNav:XML =
IXml(assets.siteNav).xml;
var
page:String=e.target.label.text;
trace(page);
targetPage=e.target.linkTo;
//targetPage =
e.target.linkTo;
if
(e.target.kiddies.children().length()>0) {
hasChildren=true;
TweenMax.to(nav1, 0.25, {x:-200, ease:Bounce.easeInOut});
trace(e.target.kiddies.children());
createSubNav
"+ page"() ;
trace(hasChildren);
} else {
hasChildren=false;
trace(hasChildren);
Gaia.api.goto("" + [targetPage] + "");
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] add string to a function
ok my menu goes on almost there now...
i have now launched the a function from my inital menu level to create the
sub nav for that page as per earlier help;
im basically using the same code for creating my inital menu, but i want to
only create buttons for the children of the button i've just clicked on,
i suppose i need the function 'createSubNavtheirs' to reference the
'mouseClickHandler' and only create menu items from the child node of the
button that has been clicked.
//here is one of the functions for a subbutton///
function createSubNavtheirs():void {
siteNav=IXml(assets.siteNav).xml;
/*var xmlLabels:xmllist=sitenav.secti...@name;
var labelsArray:Array /* of String */
/* = new Array(xmlLabels.length);*/
var runningX:Number=0;
for each (var section:XML in
siteNav.section.subsection) {
var navbut:navItem = new navItem( );
navbut.label.text=secti...@name;
navbut.label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
navbut.hit.width=navbut.label.width;
navbut.hit.height=30;
navbut.hit.alpha=0;
navbut.kiddies=section;
navbut.linkto=secti...@src;
//read instructions fomr nav xml
navbut.keepopen=sitenav.secti...@keep;
navbut.isclicked=sitenav.secti...@highlight;
//trace(section);
navbut.x=runningX;
runningX+=navbut.width+10;
trace(runningX);
navbut.buttonMode=true;
navbut.mouseChildren=false;
navbut.alpha=0;
navbut.name=sitenav.secti...@url;
TweenMax.to(navbut, 0.5, {alpha:1});
//navbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler2);
//navbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);
//navbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseClickHandler);
nav2.addChild(navbut);
}
}
//here is the code on my initial subbutton//
function mouseClickHandler(e:Event):void {
//var siteNav:XML = IXml(assets.siteNav).xml;
var page:String=e.target.label.text;
trace(page);
targetPage=e.target.linkTo;
//targetPage = e.target.linkTo;
if (e.target.kiddies.children().length()>0) {
hasChildren=true;
TweenMax.to(nav1, 0.25, {x:-200,
ease:Bounce.easeInOut});
trace(e.target.kiddies.children());
this["createSubNav"+page]();
//trace(page);
trace(targetPage);
trace(hasChildren);
} else {
hasChildren=false;
trace(hasChildren);
Gaia.api.goto("" + [targetPage] + "");
}
}
///and here is my xml///

Hi,
you are looking for:
