[gee]

Hello everybody,

I've got  problem which i cope with for a while, and i hope you can help me....

I want to have something what makes a button or some kind of link of dynamc loaded text.

I know how you can do this with fake buttons, but this doesnt ork very well...

i want to make something, maybe a movieclip, with in it a textfield (dynamic) and a button.
And this movieclip must duplicate itself, according to the number of rows in mysql...


I dont know a script to do this....... can you plz help me....

Hi gee,

not really a database issue (probably would have been better posted elsewhere in the forums) but here goes.

I have created some code for you to dissect :


//:::: Create an array to populate menu - normally gained from a DB call
menu_items = [
            "one",
           "two",
          "three"
         ];

function prepMenu(){
              //calculate how many menu item to create
   var arrayLen = menu_items.length;
              // loop through the array to create menu items
   for(var i=0; i<arrayLen; i++){
      createMenuItem(i)
   }
}

function createMenuItem(index){
               // Create a menuitem (empty clip)
   this.createEmptyMovieClip("menuItem"+index, index);
   this["menuItem"+index]._x = 50;
   this["menuItem"+index]._y = 20*index;
               // give the clip a label
   this["menuItem"+index].createTextField("label_txt", 0, 0, 0, 100, 100);
   this["menuItem"+index].label_txt.text = menu_items[index];
   // some action when clicked on
   this["menuItem"+index].onRelease = function(){
      trace(menu_items[index]);
   }
   
               // change colour when rolled over
   this["menuItem"+index].onRollover = function(){
      this.label_txt.textColor = 0x0000ff;
   }
               // change colour back when rolled out   
   this["menuItem"+index].onRollout = function(){
      this.label_txt.textColor = 0x000000;
   }
}

prepMenu();

See how you go with this.

Regards,
Matt
