Using Flash CS4.
I want a comboBox that will allow the user to select what colour palette they want the application to have. I am using a comboBox to do this and want to have a function with arguments as the data in the comboBox item. I’ve managed to do it and pass arguments but these are running when the comboBox is set up. I only want the function to run when the user presses the submit button. How can I prevent the function from running on set up? Here is my code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import fl.controls.*;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
public class CatProcess extends MovieClip
{
var headingTxt:Label;
var headingFormat:TextFormat;
var userLabel:Label;
var paletteLabel:Label;
var ageLabel:Label;
var ageInputBox:TextInput;
var standardFormat:TextFormat;
var nameInputBox:TextInput;
var userName:String;
var paletteCombo:ComboBox;
var submit_btn:Button;
var rose:TextFormat;
var aqua:TextFormat;
public function CatProcess()
{
//Palette Label
paletteLabel=new Label();
paletteLabel.text = "Please select a colour palette for this form";
paletteLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
paletteLabel.setStyle("textFormat",standardFormat);
paletteLabel.move(89,157);
addChild(paletteLabel);
//Palette ComboBox
paletteCombo=new ComboBox();
paletteCombo.addItem({data:setPalette("chose aqua via a function"),label:"aqua"});
paletteCombo.addItem({data:setPalette("chose rose via a function"),label:"rose"});
paletteCombo.move(360,157);
addChild(paletteCombo);
submit_btn=new Button();
submit_btn.move(255,258);
submit_btn.label = "submit";
addChild(submit_btn);
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,processData);
function processData()
{
trace("working");
}
function setPalette(hhh:String)
{
trace(hhh);
}
}
}
}
Plus, my movie is taking ages to submit, even though there is nothing on the stage. There are components in the library though. Would this cause it to take about 5 seconds to export to swf?
