Hi all-
I’m a beginner with Actionscripting, and struggling a lot with this issue.
What I’ve done: I’ve created a movieclip (”individual_listing”) in my library that has three dynamic text fields. I parse my XML using loops and “if” statements to fill in the appropriate data. Using “attachMovie,” the “individual_listing” movieclip repeats (so that it looks like a table with three columns and as many “rows” (i.e. attached movieclips) as needed.
What I want to do:My XML/movieclip “table” is too long; it needs to be scrollable. I am trying to load the “individual_listing” movieclips into an empty movieclip called “scrollMovieClip” that I rename to a movieclip variable called, “container_listing” that is set to scrollPane.content. I can’t get this to work. (Have tried creating both “scrollMovieClip” and “container_listing” in the library and exporting for Actionscript, and also tried to create it inside the scrollPane on the fly. Neither way seems to work.)
Relevant code is the following:
(p.s., this all is supposed to happen on a mouse event — when the user clicks the “00tab” movieclip, I want the scrollable table to display).
