I got a Flash AS2 website and I need to get all the buttons inside an instancied movieclip (to define an specific property for each one). I've been searching for an hour or more, but I just got solutions for AS3
View 2 RepliesI have a for loop that, among other things, contains an appendText command. It adds a character to a text box on the screen.
I notice that rather than append the text on each iteration, it waits until the for loop has finished, and then appends all the characters.
It's not noticable on short loops, but very noticable on longer ones.
Is there a way to make flash update the text box as each iteration happens, rather than dump all the appended text at the end?
i have 2 arrays, a and b... in array a i have a bunch of random numbers.... now i want to loop through array a find which of the elements is the largest. for example if a[4] is the largest number in the a[] then i want b[1] = 4 and so on....
//array a full of random numbers:
a[1] = 4
a[2] = 3
a[3] = 1
[code]....
so if a[4] is the bigest, b[1] will have 4 and if a[1] is second biggest, b[2] will have 1 and so on... is there an algorithm that can do this for me with an array length of X?
Flex's new States re-parents visual items that are marked with includeIn/excludeFrom. If I have a Group (MainGroup) with 5 children/elements that are state controlled, is there still a way to get a reference to MainGroup's children? mainGroup.numChildren and mainGroup.numElements don't work since the children are re-parented. At best, they show 1.

I'm working with Flash Builder 4.5 on an Actionscript project. I've created the following classes:
package
{
public class ComplexNumber
{
[Code]....
but the code inside this loop generates the following run time error: "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on ComplexArray." Thus, my code for "BXFN_complex[ii] = ~" is incorrect. Anyone know how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Basically, ComplexDivide.v1p0 returns two numbers, and BXFN_complex is an object containing two number arrays, and I want to assign the ComplexDivide two numbers into the ii'th element of arrays in BXFN_complex.
I'm working right now on a map generator. I stumbled on a very annoying problem. I'm using the for loop to add the map elements on the stage. But when the "forest" area begins to be to thick all trees begin to overlap.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip that holds a button (latter a dynamic textfield -- (button is quicker for testing )). I have the movie clip alpha set at .65 as I want the background image to bleed through slightly. I put the button on the movieclip as I want it to be visible as the movieclip tweens on stage. My question is, can I target the buttons alpha when the button is a part of my movie clip or does the movie clip and the button have to be seperate?

I've finally made the leap in to AS3 - it seems much nicer and easier than any of its predecessors but I'm still getting stuck on the odd thing.This is something I haven't been able to resolve with Google:
I have a movieclip with an instance name "myMC". On the first frame inside myMC I have another movieclip called "point". On the second frame inside myMC I have a movieclip with instance name "smallBox".This works:
myMC.point.transform.colorTransform = c;
This does not: myMC.smallBox.transform.colorTransform = c;
Do I need to do something to indicate I'm working on frame 2?
I have a draggable item, a MovieClip that calls startDrag() on itself when it is clicked, and another MovieClip on the stage.I need the MovieClip to receive ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events while the draggable MovieClip is being dragged over it, but the lower clip doesn't receive these messages while a clip is being dragged over it.Essentially, ROLL_OVER is only sent to the topmost MovieClip under the mouse. Normally, you'd fix that with some combination of mouseEnabled or mouseChildren on the overlapping MovieClips, but if you do that to a draggable MovieClip, it breaks dragging. I need to detect when the mouse is over the lower MovieClip, regardless of what MovieClips are above it.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a navigation element. The items in the navigation are created dynamically from data in an XML file. What I would like to do is create a new movie clip then place all of the navigation elements into that movie clip so I can move it around as one piece.
Here is a simplified example of my code:
Code:
var navContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); //clip to add elements to
addChild(navContainer);
//Create nav elements that I want inside navContainer//

Is it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
View 2 Repliesdoes anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
When i create a menu, the dropdowns go behind the flash element. But in some sites, like Digg, it is shown above. z-index is of no use
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a movieclip object that contains another movieclip that continuously loops. My current problem is, no matter what I try, the embedded movieclip will not play inside the one containing it. It would be significantly more work to design the looping animations in actionscript than through using the IDE, so I would prefer not to have to dynamically create these loops.
View 1 RepliesI made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.
View 2 RepliesI have created an bar of thumbnails and added as3 code so that the imagebar scrolls to the right or left depending where the mouse pointer is located. However once you reach the end or beginning of the clip it just stops. How can I make it loop to beginning or end (depending on which way you're scrolling?? I'm very new to Flash and as3 as a warning.
Here is my code so far.
MovieClip(root).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void{if (MovieClip(root).mouseX > 600 && mouseX < 800 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.nextFrame();
}if (MovieClip(root).mouseX > 800 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.nextFrame();
imgBar.nextFrame();
}if (MovieClip(root).mouseX < 300 && mouseX >100 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.prevFrame();
}if (MovieClip(root).mouseX < 100 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.prevFrame();imgBar.prevFrame();}}

I am trying to coding a part of a program which is creating different listener for the same object by using a for, but the problem is that the result for all of them is the same, In the following you can find my code:
for( var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var obj = new MyClass();
obj.y = i*30;
[code]...
My goal of writing the code above is, by clicking on the first obj, the program writes 0 in output, by clicking on second one, writes 1 and so on, but this code give me 10 for all the objects.I should add that no matter there is an obj or not in myOtherMovieClip area, by clicking in that area, I got the same value.

How do I reference the newly created textfield into a for loop?
This is really holding me up, so I hope someone can help me fast. I need to store each value of my for loop in a separate instance of my movieclip, but the movieclip only seems to pick up the last value of the loop.
Why is this and can I do this any other way apart from storing the value in a textfield or creating a loop within the movieclip?

I've got a movieClip that's scrolling across the stage that loops nicely (kinda like the many cloud animations out there).
I've set the clip up to stop it's scrolling on a rollOver, and start up again on the rollOut.
My problem is that after the rollOut the loop doesn't work. The movieClip just keeps travelling.

I have a series of movie clips that are named image1, image2, image3, etc. And I need to modify their visibility with a loop (make them all visible=false), but I just can't seem to get it right...
View 1 RepliesI have an .fla with multiple movieclips. For most of these, as one finishes, it calls the next with code like _parent.nextmovieclip_mc.play(); on that next movieclip (the one to be played), the first frame is blank with actionscript stop(); so that it won't begin at the start of the movie. nearly every movieclip plays just once and this has worked fine. I have run into a snag because I want *one* of these to loop 20 times, and I'm trying to do a loop, but either it plays once and stops or never plays. this clip should not begin at the outset of the movie, and so like the others above, it has a blank keyframe with a stop(); for frame 1

Is there another way to achieve the same results?
I've got a load of videos
var ns1:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
container1.compMa.theVideo.attachVideo(ns1);
ns1.play("sukh_diesel.flv", 1);
var ns2:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
container2.compMa.theVideo.attachVideo(ns2);
ns2.play("sukh_beneath.flv", 1);
And 4 more, which I've left out to be concise. I want to pause them with
function pauseVid(){
this.ns1.pause();
for(i=1;i<7;i++){
this["ns"+i]pause();
}}
The commented out line:
this.ns1.pause()
works, but when I try it in a loop it can't access it?
