Dynamic MovieClip Names

I have an array that houses the names of six movieclips. I randomly select three of them. I am trying to get my randomly chosen movieClips to do what I want them to do. I have tried the following code to get the first to fade in:
stop();
// import tween classes
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var FirstPersonAnimation:Object;
trace("mc"+[_global.FirstPerson]);
FirstPersonAnimation = new Tween("mc"+[_global.FirstPerson], "_alpha", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 100, _global.FadeInTime, true);
FirstPersonAnimation.onMotionFinished = function() {
_root.nextFrame();
But it does not work. The trace comes back with the full movie clip name ex: mcTom, but even though that value comes up in the trace, the AS doesn't see it as a movie clip. Any thoughts on how I can correct this?
-Kirk

I'm not sure what is involved with _global.FirstPerson, but when you use it the way you do, you are just feeding a string into the Tween.  You need to convert that string into an object using array notation:
this["mc_"+_global.FirstPerson]

  • Dynamic mc names

    Hi there,
    Im having a litlle issue. ill try to explain:
    I have a function that creates dynamic movieclips after
    making a query by flash remoting. It calls this function for each
    record.
    Here it is:
    function createPictures(b) {
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("l"+b,
    this.getNextHighestDepth());
    this["l"+b].attachMovie("picture", "lod",
    this["l"+b].getNextHighestDepth());
    meuLod.loadClip(path for picture,this["l"+b].lod);
    this["l"+b]._x = 2000;
    the "b" its a dynamic value that begins with 0 and goes
    increasing. When the person visit this sesson of the website she
    will see a picture that can be draged through the screen. When one
    of these pictures reach the screen corner she goes away and the
    next picture shows on the screen.
    So, in the action script i must tell the next movieclip to
    move. that is how im doing:
    this["l"+b].onRelease = this["l"+b].onReleaseOutside =
    function(){
    //the movieclip goes away here
    this.tween("_x",this._xmouse - inicioX,2);
    this.tween("_y",this._ymouse - inicioY,2);
    //and the next should come here
    NEXTMOVIECLIPNAME.tween............
    My problem its to tell flash the name of the next movieclip.
    As the function its called many times, even if i say
    this["l"+(b+1)] it would not work because the next movieclip still
    doesnt exist |o|
    I already tried to separete like one function to create the
    movieclips and another to tell their actions, but it didnt worked.
    Im sorry one more time if my english its not so nice. Just
    tell me if its confusing.
    Thanks, and good day.

    when's the next movieclip created?

  • Accessing Dynamic Movieclip Children

    There is a lot of code that I have but here is snippet to get to the point.  I have created a Movicelip called via actionscript called "McButton".  Then I created 10 MovieClips within that MovieClip ("McDot0", "mcDot1", etc).  I need to know how to access mcButton.mcDot3 to change its color when button3 (mc already on stage) is clicked but can not figure it out.
    I have tried both of these below but it does not work:
    mcButton.mcDot3.transform.colorTransform = cityColor;
    getChildByName("mcButton").getChildByName("mcDot3").transform.colorTransform = cityColor;
    This is the code below that I have used to create the Dynamic Movieclips:
    var button:Container = new Container();
    button.name = "mcButton";
    this.addChild(button);
    for (var a:int = 0; a < 10; a++) {
         var dot:Dot = new Dot();
          dot.name = "mcDot" + a;
        MovieClip(getChildByName("mcButton")).addChild(dot);
    Can someone please help me see the light.
    Thanks

    In order to change a color using color transform, first you must create a new ColorTransform object and than assign it to transform.colorTransform property.
    i,e,
    var cityColor: ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
    getChildByName("mcButton").getChildByName("mcDot3").transform.colorTransform = cityColor

  • Dynamic file name from input payload (RFC 2 flat file)

    Hi,
    I have an RFC to flat file scenario. The output flat file has not an XML structure, it's just a plain text file generated with abap mapping.
    In my source interface (RFC), I have a field called <FILENAME>, I want to use the value of that field to create the target file using dynamic file name. But if  in variable substitution I use payload:ZRFC_NAME,1,FILENAME,1 It doesn't work because the dynamic variable substitution try to access to output payload, not the source one...
    What can I do?

    Hi Marshal,
           You can add a extra node to your target strucutre like
    FileName- Node
    --FileName - Element.
    do the mapping from the field filename of RFC to FileName field in u r target strucure. And use this  field path at Refrence in variable subtituion.
    In the Content converison add the Name & Values as below
    FileName.fileldNames -- FileName
    FileName.fieldFixedLengths -- 0
    FileName.fixedLengthTooShortHandling -- Cut
    So the extra field in u r target structure would not populate in u r target text file.
    Cheers

  • How to change recordset bahaviour to accept dynamic column names in the where clause

    Hi
    im using php-mysql and i make a recordset and i want to make the column names in the where clause to be dynamic like
    "select id,name from mytable where $tablename-$myvar";
    but when i do this my i break the recordset and it disappear
    and when i use variables from advanced recordset it only dynamic for the value of the column not for the column name
    and when i write the column name to dynamic as above by hand it truns a red exclamation mark on the server behaviour panel
    so i think the only way is to change the recordset behaviour is it? if so How to make it accept dynamic column names?
    thanks in advance.

    As bregent has already explained to you, customizing the recordset code will result in Dreamweaver no longer recognizing the server behavior. This isn't a problem, but it does mean that you need to lay out your dynamic text with the Bindings panel before making any changes. Once you have changed the recordset code, the Bindings panel will no longer recognize the recordset fields.
    Using a variable to choose a column name is quite simple, but you need to take some security measures to ensure that the value passed through the query string isn't attempting SQL injection. An effective way of doing this is to create an array of acceptable column names, and check that the value matches.
    // create array of acceptable values
    $valid = array('column_name1', 'column_name2', 'column_name3');
    // if the query string contains an acceptable column name, use it
    if (isset($_GET['colname']) && in_array($_GET['colname'], $valid)) {
      $col = $GET['colname'];
    } else {
      // set a default value if the submitted one was invalid
      $col = 'column_name1'
    You can then use $col directly in the SQL query.

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

    This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
    the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity. 
    In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point. 
    Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity. 
    Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables! 
    Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.  
    Think about how silly this is: 
     SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
    We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental. 
    We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

    but thats what you get when a company throws you in at the deep end with a ridiculous time constraint to migrate a whole MSSQL DB.Migrating SQL-Server to Oracle is not a simple thing. A lot of best practices in SQL-Server are absolutely worse practices in Oracle - they are that different. Simple example is lock escalation - an issue in SQL-Server. In Oracle, the concept of a lock being escalated into a page lock simply does not exist.
    In terms of getting the migration done as quickly and painlessly as possible I try to reuse all the logic as it appears in the MSSQL code - in this case it was using dynamic table names. I do not doubt that i am probably shooting myself in the foot in the long run.....As long as you do not splatter too much blood on us here.. not a problem :D
    Seriously though - just keep in mind that what works in SQL-Server may not work as well (or even at all) in Oracle. So do not hesitate to refactor (from design to code to SQL) mercilessly when you think it is warranted.

    Hi Prabhat,
    I think, the normal Dynamic File Name generation should work fine in your case also. Even if you perform Content Conversion, you can use Variable Name Substiution to create your Destination file name as, the name of the file is determined first and only then is the content converison perfromed.
    for info on content conversion, I would suggest that you go through this thread and check my reply,

    Hi,

    Hi Saiju,
    Yes there is.
    Assign your file name to a variable, let's say 'fileName'.
    Now go to your invoke activity(for the specific fileadapter) -> Property tab-> find a property call jca.file.FileName -> in the value field assign 'fileName' variable.
    That's it... (assuming you are using 11g)
