Hi all,
I am attaching mc’s from the library using xml to populate the textfields. What I am wanting to do is show the first six mc’s, then after say 10 seconds show the next six. With a text field displaying “1 of 3”, after 10 seconds, “2 of 3” …etc.
A bit similar to image galleries really (sorry if I haven’t explained this very well).
Anyhoo, heres what I have so far, it loads the mc’s one after each other:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//Time in seconds its displayed
var displayTime = 10;
//Spacing between items
var event_spacing = 56;
var eventArray:Array = [];
GenerateEventListing = function (eventContent_xml, target_mc) {
var events = eventContent_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
var counter = 0;
function doTween(target_mc, index) {
var event_mc = target_mc.attachMovie("event", "event" + index, index);
event_mc.node = events[index];
event_mc._y = index * event_spacing;
var pushed:Number = eventArray.push(event_mc);
event_mc.txt_mc.title_txt.text = events[index].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
event_mc.txt_mc.info_txt.text = events[index].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var myTween = new Tween(event_mc, "_x", Strong.easeOut, 200, 0, .4, true);
myTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
if (++index != events.length){
doTween(target_mc, index);
}
};
}
doTween(target_mc, counter);
};
// Timer event
countDown = function () {
displayTime--;
if (displayTime == 0) {
clearInterval(timer);
for (var i:Number = 0; i <= eventArray.length; i++) {
var myTweenOut = new Tween(eventArray*, "_x", Strong.easeOut,0, -400, .4, true);
}
}
};
timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);
// Load XML
var eventContent_xml = new XML();
eventContent_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
eventContent_xml.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
GenerateEventListing(this, playlist_mc);
}else trace("Error loading XML file");
}
eventContent_xml.load("../xml/eventContent.xml");
Thanks for any help on this!
