RE: [Flashcoders] Counter in function assigned inside a for loop

2006-03-31 Thread Ryan Potter 
You could also set a var on the button that tracks it's own content.


function buttonBehavior():Void  { 
for (var i=1; i  8; i++) {
//do tmpMC = _root[mb_+i]; just once per loop  
//to save processing 
var tmpMC:MovieClip = _root[mb_+i]; 
// add a var to the mc that tracks it's content
tmpMC.href = section_+i+.swf;

tmpMC.onRollOver = function() { 
this.gotoAndPlay(over); 
} 
tmpMC.onRollOut = function() { 
this.gotoAndPlay(out); 
} 
tmpMC.onRelease = function() { 
this.gotoAndPlay(display_frame); 
loadMovie(this.href, load_target);
}
}
}
buttonBehavior();

Try this Alex, 
 
 
function buttonBehavior():Void  { 
for (var i=1; i  8; i++) {
//do tmpMC = _root[mb_+i]; just once per loop  
//to save processing 
var tmpMC:MovieClip = _root[mb_+i]; 
tmpMC.onRollOver = function() { 
this.gotoAndPlay(over); 
} 
tmpMC.onRollOut = function() { 
this.gotoAndPlay(out); 
} 
tmpMC.onRelease = function() { 
this.gotoAndPlay(display_frame); 
//replace i with this._name.substr(3,4)  
//to get the right value from the current button

var loadMe:String =
section_+this._name.substr(3,4)+.swf; 
loadMovie(loadMe, load_target);
}
}
}
buttonBehavior();

Subject: [Flashcoders] Counter in function assigned inside a for loop

Heya guys,

I am assigning the button behaviors to a set of movieclips through a
for loop, however, I am coming up against something where I know what
is happening, but don't know how to fix it.

Basically, inside that for loop I assign each of the button behaviors
as a function but I don't know how to evaluate the counter in the
function, rather than having it just literally written into it.
instead of section_+ _root.i  being  section_1, section_2, etc...it
is literally written in each of the buttons as section_+_root.i  and
so each button has exactly the same code and all go to the last
section (last value of i) when clicked.

How can I have it so that each function has the proper code it in? is
this even the proper way to go about this? Is there a way to 'force'
the evaluation of that counter in that function when it is being
assigned to the MC?



code:

function buttonBehavior ():Void  {
for (_root.i=1;_root.i8;_root.i++) {
_root[mb_+_root.i].onRollOver = function() {
   this.gotoAndPlay(over);
}
_root[mb_+_root.i].onRollOut = function() {
   this.gotoAndPlay(out);
}
_root[mb_+_root.i].onRelease = function() {
   _root.gotoAndPlay(display_frame);
   loadMovie(section_+_root.i+.swf, load_target);
}


}
}

(btw, I added the _root. to each of the i's so that the function could
'see'
it.

thanks in advance!
-Alex

Hi Alex, here is an example that could help you and illustrate how to
accomplish what you want

var totalMovieClips:Number = 3;

for ( var i = 0; i  totalMovieClips; i ++ )
{
_root['mc' + i].indexPos = i;

_root[ 'mc' + i ].onRelease = function()
{
trace( 'mc' + this.indexPos + ' onRelease' );
}

_root[ 'mc' + i ].onRollOver = function()
{
trace( 'mc' + this.indexPos + ' onRollOver' );
}

_root[ 'mc' + i ].onRollOut = function()
{
trace( 'mc' + this.indexPos + ' onRollOut' );
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Counter in function assigned inside a for loop

2006-03-31 Thread Keith Reinfeld 
Ryan, 

 

Absolutely. That's how I've handled things on my homepage. The answer I
suggested to Alex was an effort to stay on point with regard to his
question. 

 

I would also recommend that he set up named functions outside his
buttonBehavior function. It may not be necessary for his current project,
but cleaner, and would make sufficiently generic functions available for
other elements. 

 

function btnROver(){ 

 

  this.gotoAndPlay(over); 

} 

 

function btnROut(){ 

  this.gotoAndPlay(out); 

} 

 

function btnRelease(){ 

  this.gotoAndPlay(display_frame); 

  loadMovie(this.href, load_target); 

} 

 

function buttonBehavior():Void  { 

 

  for (var i = 1; i  8; i++) { 

 

//do tmpMC = _root[mb_+i]; just once per loop 

//to save processing 

 

var tmpMC:MovieClip = _root[mb_+i];  

 

// add a var to the mc that tracks it's content 

tmpMC.href = section_+i+.swf; 

 

//assign button behavior functions 

tmpMC.onRollOver = btnROver; 

tmpMC.onRollOut = btnROut; 

tmpMC.onRelease = btnRelease; 

  } 

} 

 

buttonBehavior();

2006-03-31 Thread Alejandro Diaz 
Thanks guys! I was cracking my head over this one (lack of sleep
didn't help much), and of course, figures that right around the time I
send this question I stop receiving all emails from Flashcoders (did
it break for anyone else?).

Anyways, great help and pointers and I will experiment with these
tonight. Thank you all!
