[RESOLVED] can a button or a radio button label be renamed?

Hi,

I haven't been able to rename my buttons programatically nor know how to rename a radio buttons label if possible

Hi Cap,


OK, create a new AS2 fla and drag a component radiobutton into the library, then drag a component button into the library and use the code below.

PHP Code:

---

import mx.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
import mx.controls.RadioButton;
import mx.controls.Button;

var radioGroup:RadioButtonGroup;

var radioListener:Object = new Object();
radioListener.click = function(e:Object)
{
    trace(e.target.selection.data + " : " + e.target.selection._name);
};

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    createClassObject(mx.controls.RadioButton,"RadioButton" + i,i);
    this["RadioButton" + i].label = " Name: " + i;
    this["RadioButton" + i].groupName = "radioGroup";
    this["RadioButton" + i]._x = 20;
    this["RadioButton" + i]._y = 20 + (i * 20);
    this["RadioButton" + i].data = "Radio" + i;
    this["RadioButton" + 1].selected = true;
    // *** optional styling
    this["RadioButton" + i].setStyle("themeColor","0xFFFF00");
    this["RadioButton" + i].setStyle("_xscale","100");
    this["RadioButton" + i].setStyle("_yscale","100");
    this["RadioButton" + i].setStyle("color","0xFF0000");
}

radioGroup.addEventListener('click',radioListener);

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    createClassObject(mx.controls.Button,"Button" + i,i + 10);
    this["Button" + i].label = "Capdetrons: " + i;
    this["Button" + i]._x = 100;
    this["Button" + i]._y = 20 + (i * 20);
    this["Button" + i].data = "Button" + i;
    this["Button" + i].onPress = function()
    {
        trace(this.data + ": " + this.label);
    };
}

or you could do it more like so

PHP Code:

---

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    var newButton = createClassObject(mx.controls.Button,"Button" + i,i + 10);
    newButton.label = "Capdetrons: " + i;
    newButton._x = 100;
    newButton._y = 20 + (i * 20);
    newButton.data = "Button" + i;
    newButton.onPress = function()
    {
        trace(this.data + ": " + this.label);
    };
}

now play around witht the code

Hi,

thanks, Fruit,

solved that. I was placing my code inside the onPress function that's why it wouldn't work before.

But, about button texts?

Can those not be changed?

I am trying:

Code:

---

if(language == "english"){
        login_btn.loginBtn_txt.text = "Login";
} else if(language == "catalan"){
        login_btn.loginBtn_txt.text = "Accedir";
}

---

in the main timeline where the buttons is and I can't change it.

Hi Cap,

As far as I am aware you can not dynamically change the text inside of a button (you can with component buttons), you could however make your buttons into movieclips and have them act like buttons AND change your text inside.

or have a dynaimc textfield above a your button and change the text of that, button would be graphic only

hadn't thought of the last option.

thanks.

Happy new year !!
