hello,
I have frequented the great help here but have to make my first request now.
I have to make a Flash MX (not 2004) compatible file and so cannot use the Data Grid component of mx04, (or the component form the Devkit either). As a proof of concept to try to accomplish this then I have basically a movie clip that reads the data from an array into 4 columns within one clip, both dynamic text fields and movie clips that will display an icon. I then have actionscript that duplicates that movie clip vertically according to how many items in the array. Fabulous. But my stumper is that I have to scroll this and I really want to put the whole movie clip into a ScrollPane, which seems like the answer but it doesn’t work because:
I don’t know how to reference the text fields (or movie clips for that matter) within the scrollpane. If you attach the container movie clip via the “Scroll Content” property, you have use the linkage ID instead of a path reference so my dynamic data references break, because now there’s no instance named on the main timeline to reference anymore. (which was something like
myclip.row.field.text = myarray*.field
I’m probably not being clear, and I’ll post some code, or link to a fla file if this is an acceptable thing and someone would be so kind as to help, but right now I’m figuring it’s hopeless.
Thanks in advance,
-mike
