Dynamically Make Multiple Buttons From 1 Symbol with Only Actionscript AS3

[hooddaniel]

Hey guys...

I have a goodie to give to any noobies out there. I'm kind of new to Object Oriented Programming, and AS3 myself...

I made a flash application that gets an array from a php variable and back to flash to create dynamic buttons, with only actionscript 3. To edit the behavior of the button, all you have to do is edit 1 Symbol... Which is really nice.

The reason I'm posting this is to get some input on possibly a better way to do this thats more reliable? This application breaks when it is opened on two browsers at once (on Win7 64 Bit). How would I go about fixing that? In order to make it work again, I have to wait for the cache to fully renew, or change the name of the swf file. Any suggestion would be awesomely appreciated.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var currentTarget:String;

//==========================================================

// Create A new URLVariables instance to store the variable
var myVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
myVariables.sendRequest = "get_nav_variables";
var myRequest:URLRequest = new
//Change the url to the location of your php script. May be on your website.
URLRequest("http://localhost/class/data_control.php");
myRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
myRequest.data = myVariables;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.load(myRequest);

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

function loadComplete(evt:Event):void {
var nameArray:Array = evt.target.data.navNames.split(","); //Split Variable Into Array...
trace(nameArray[1]);
//===============================================================


function clickedNav (e:MouseEvent):void {
	stageTxt.text = e.currentTarget.name;
}

var i:Number = 0;
var xPos:Number = 100;
var yPos:Number = 50;

while(i<=nameArray.length-1) {
	var my_mc = new BlueShoe();
	if (i == 0) {
		stageTxt.text = nameArray[i];
	}
	my_mc.name=nameArray[i];
	my_mc.targetName.text = nameArray[i];
	my_mc.x = xPos;
	my_mc.y = yPos;
	my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickedNav);
	addChild(my_mc);
	
	xPos = xPos + 100;
	trace(i);
	i++;
}
}

And this is free :-D
