Re: [Flashcoders] as3 creating sprite instances in a loop

[Charles Parcell]

I think the issue is that you are waiting until you exit the loop to do any
addChild() calls. In that case you will only ever get one sprite added to
the display list. This is because when the loop is done it only has a single
reference to a sprite.

You might want to do two things. First, and most important, add each sprite
to an array. Second, call addChild() within the loop.


var mySpriteArray:Array = new Array();

for (var j:uint = 0; j  _columns; j++)
{
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
// This will allow you to reference the sprites
//  later more easily.
mySpriteArray.push(sprite);
addChild(mySpriteArray[j]); // or addChild(sprite);
}

Hi, does anyone know how to create individual sprite instances in a loop

for (var j:uint = 0; j  _columns; j++)
{
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
}

this just over writes the sprite.

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question fully but I think  
the problem you're having is that you need to do something with them  
- for example if you pushed each new sprite into an array then you'd  
have a reference to each of them, but the you're doing it at the  
moment you'll just lose the reference to the old one each time.

[Andrei Thomaz]

and, of course, you can't forget addChild().
