Flash :: Position 2 Movie Clips On The Stage That Relate To Each Other?
Nov 20, 2010
I'm a bit rusty of my trig, so I'm not sure the best way to do this ... I need to position 2 movie clips on the stage that relate to each other they can't be nested ,the registation points are in the center, assume "clip B" is 50 px to the left of "Clip A" as pictured in the diagram to the left , when "clip A" is rotated, I need clip B to follow ( still 50px ) away but with new _x and _y relative to the rotation of "clip A" as in the diagram right.

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

I have some (Eg. 10) Movie Clips on bottom of the Stage (aligned horizontally) with different sizes (different width & height). I want them to align vertically on middle of the stage with same gap (irrespective of their sizes) in between 2 Movie Clips. Is it possible using AS3 code?

Im trying to get the X, Y of a Movie clip (well call it "target_mc").its inside of a parent MC (well call it...."parent_mc")but im trying to get the X,Y as they relate to the main stage(_root).so far the two methods ive used are
Code:
this._x = _root["parent_mc"]._x + _root["parent_mc"]["target_mc"]._x
this._y = _root["parent_mc"]._y + _root["parent_mc"]["target_mc"]._y[code]....
neither worked
it seemed like the first method(the one in the code block) places it at the starting position of the MC i need the location of, but to further complicate it the parent_mc is a rotating clip(Ive got code to make it follow the mouse).how i can place this in a location that is changing whenever the mouse moves

I have used Flash on and off over the years but I've decided to hunker down and learn it in earnest. We have cs4 at work and I am having this problem.I checked out the differences between a graphic symbol and a movie clip, and it seems that the movie clip has some distinct advantages. But the main disadvantage is not being able to see what happens on the stage as it plays. How can I get around this limitation? Why does it even exist in the first place? I understand that scripting can complicate how it plays, but for example if I am making a straightforward animation, but parts of it depend on other parts that are in separate symbols, how can I see what is going on at a specific frame on the stage overall?

So, can I access layers on this MainTimeline to get all Movie Clips on this layer ? So I can do a simple operation "A_1_2.buttonMode = true;" to all my MC's (in an array for example) without writing every line (lot of MC's on layer and lot of lines).

I have 3 movie clips A, B, C on stage. I wish to shuffle the positions of movie clips, that is B take over the position of A, B take over the position of C and C take over the position of A and so on, each time their locations are interchanged.

I was just wondering if this is possible, and if anyone knows how it could be done
What i intend to do is have a number of movie clips which load a photo from XML.As well as the photo i want something in the XML code that tells the movie clip where to place itself on the scene. For example it could contain a number from 1-8 and the scene will be split into eight sections across the X axis. So if it has the number 3 it will go in the 3rd section across anywhere on the Y axis.

I want to make a map that will display dots on it that when you rollover them displays info about that location.. Have done that no problem using dynamic text boxes.. thing is I want to use an XML file to populate the map so that you can add new dots to the XML file with X and Y positions and info and flash can read that XML file and mark them out on the map with the info on rollover..
So any ideas on how I use actionscript to create and position dots from an XML file which I can add to?

Is it possible to create an event listener that will listen for an objects (movieclip in my case) x position ? I know i could create an Enter_Frame listener with an if statement but the problem is the mc in question has multiple instances being called and I want to destroy each one as they leave the stage.

I am trying to resize a 2 or more movieclips, but when I resize them I want them to have a relative postion to one another for example decreasing the size of two movieclip touching each other, I would like the movieclips to maintain a relative x,y position.. so if decreased or increased in size they will still look the same.This movie clips are on the stage, so I can not attach it from the library.

Using the easing transitions I simply move the _y of several movie clips. It is ok but their starting positions are always from the top of my stage, even if I fix their positions at the bottom.

I have a difficult question to explain. I have a class file that loads an external XML file, parses the main nodes into an array, then creates a movie clip instance for each of the main nodes and creates text fields inside of the movie clip instance based on the child nodes in the XML.
Each movie clip instance that is added dynamically has a movie clip embedded in it that acts as a tab. I update the dynamic text of this embedded movie clip based on the name of each main XML node.
Now where I am getting stuck is that I have attached an event listener to each tab movie clip that is inside of each dynamically created movie clip. What I want to do is when the user clicks this tab have that movie clip move to the top of the display list on top of all the other dynamically created movie clips. My problem is that I don't know how to get the references correct.
When I create the movie clips dynamically I store the objects in an array. The problem appears to be that the event is fired for a movie clip inside of the dynamic movie clip so I don't know how to reference the parent movie clip. Maybe it is something else but I don't know how to make reference to the main movie clips that I want to swap.
I hope that makes sense. My main question is how do I use the swapChildren or setChild functions when the movie clip clicked is located within the movie clip I want to change in the display list as well as the fact that this movie clip was created dynamically.

Suppose I've got 2 movie clips on the stage. box_mc and triangle_mc. I want to set up a way so that whenever I trigger the event, such as pressing a key (like
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
//stuff that activates it
}
[Code]...
if I push the Space key again, it would start from the top (1) and repeat the sequence. The sequence would otherwise stop at 4. Previously I've been using counters inside an onEnterFrame such as counter = counter +1; if counter > n, counter = n; etc. This seems tedious and I'm hoping there's a better way to do this. I do not understand watch and timer functions of actionscript (they never seem to work for whatever project I'm occupied with).

If I create a 2000 frame Movie Clip and then drag it onto the stage of my main scene... shouldn't it work/play through it's entirety from within one frame of the main scene timeline? IOW I'm having to make the layer on the scene stage that i drag the movie clip onto 2000 frames long in order to see the nested 2000 frame movie clip play.Seems like in the past I could get Movie Clips to play and loop and what not from the main scene/stage without doing this.

Firstly, I want to be able to push the space bar on my keyboard during a swf, and for a movie clip to appear on the stage. This is what I have so far:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.attachMovie("Explosion", "Explosion"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["Explosion"+i]._x = _x;
_root["Explosion"+i]._y = _y-20;
}}
but its not working....
Secondly, I want A movie clip to spawn in the middle of the stage, then randomly travel outwards to the edge of the stage, then dissapear. And this needs to happen over and over, with the same movie clip travelling to a different place each time. This is what I have so far :
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
timer = 0;
i = 0;
a = 0;
b = 0;

Way of referring to all the movie clips on the stage at once, and of putting that information into a variable for use with hit detection.
