View 3 RepliesMultiple Instances Of A Symbol Stopping On Different Frames
Jul 30, 2010I have a symbol that contains all the weapons. I placed 6 of them on the stage. I have 6 variables P1Weapon1... P1Weapon2..etc. I need each one to stop on whatever variable matches them. The scripts needs to be on a external as file linked to the symbol. The variables are declared on a external as file linked to the main timeline.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Editing Multiple Instances Of The Same Symbol
Jul 28, 2010For a hangman-esque game I have a flash document (using CS5, but that probably doesn't matter) that has (or rather will have) a library of 26 movie clips which will contain a letter of the alphabet each. They will be inside their own dynamic textbox, so I am able to change the font, colour background etc. at will. But is it even possible to change more than one instance of a movie clip on the stage at the same time, without getting too complex?
In other words can I put multiple A's, B's, C's etc. on the stage and get all of them to change at the same time if someone guesses a letter? I know that you can change single instances of a movie clip, but for that you need to give each instance a name and I don't know how many of each letter I would be putting on the stage, let alone how I could access them all easily. Perhaps it could be through classes or something? I haven't really covered them before though. Feel free to ask for any more details... I admit some of I stuff I write can be a bit vague...

View 6 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Several Instances Of A Symbol Into One Class?
May 14, 2011I am making a platforming game for an assignment and I have a problem with this bit of code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class PlatformTest extends PlatformManager
[Code].....
All platforms are loaded into this class, and there are currently 2 instances within a Level movieclip. It's kept at 2 for seeing if it works purposes. This code basically gets the y values and x values for all sides which is used for collision detection purposes, loads it into an array, and the array number is incremented.
I'm not exactly sure if this method works or not, and I don't even know if every instance of the symbol is being loaded into the array, but is this code right, if not how do I fix it?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicating Symbol Instances Through 3.0 Code?
Mar 2, 2010I have 10 different map symbols on the stage. I have 1 class called ContinentView which is linked as the base class to each of these 10 map symbols. All I want to do is duplicate the same map symbol and miniaturize it when the map symbol is clicked upon. Thus, 2 symbols will be on stage prior to clicking, 1 large and 1 small. The 10 different map symbols have names such as zone1, zone2, zone3...etc. all the way up to 10. I know that I can do var mini:MovieClip = new zone1() as MovieClip; but thats ONLY if I click on the 1st map symbol and vice versa. This means I would have to do an if tree or several cases in a switch statement to check the id or name of the clicked symbol (e.currentTarget.name or something)...I want to avoid that and be dynamic.
View 1 RepliesIDE :: Make A List Of All Symbol Instances Used On The Stage?
May 7, 2011Is it possible to automatically make a text list of all symbol instances used on the stage and within all movie clips which are used on the stage? E.g. I have a symbol "my metal bar" in the Flash library and its instance on the stage is called "metal_bar_mc". So the list should contain a line with text: "metal_bar_mc".
Is there any automatic tool or maybe an AS3 library or it is possible to somehow write AS3 code to do this? And one more thing, it would also be very helpful to be able to determine, which of those instances are exported to AS3 (so the text list would contain an asterisk for those which are exported, or whatever)
ActionScript 3.0 :: Populating Multiple MCs With Instances Of Same Symbol From Library?
Aug 21, 2010Say I've got something like this:
Code:
var parcher0:_parcher0 = new _parcher0();
_parcher0 is a Symbol in the Library with the Class definition _parcher0
I want to addChild this Symbol to an MC on the stage like this:
Code:
this.pccard0.sprite_.addChild(parcher0)
All good! Except I want to do the same thing, the same way, with this.pccard1.sprite_, and several more. When I do so, parcher0 only shows up on the final, most recently assigned addChild().
Is it forbidden to add a Symbol in this way in more than one place, and if so how do I get around it without creating a raft of arbitrary duplicates?

Jul 6, 2009i'm creating an application using AS3.0 and class files. in this application i have a MovieClip in the library i'm using that contains several symbols and configurable textfields and have already defined the functionality for these symbols. my question is, if i'm creating an application and through actionscript and i'm spawning instances of a symbol, do i have to define the functionality and initialize this symbol in the main application class?
specifics: i'm creating a panorama app with markers that are papervision3d planes. they use a movieClip texture that i've created and i want to configure textfields and display pictures that describe the info in the marker. i created a panoApp.as class file that configures the panorama. but i also have a marker.as class that defines the symbol's behavior. this movieclip has symbols in it it's stage that i've defined (ie: name_textfield, description_textfield, etc..) when i compile the project, the compiler errors saying that the variables/identified internal symbols are missing.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Create Card Instances Based On The Movie Clip Symbol In The Library?
Jan 28, 2010the idea is to create a loop to that displays 16 cards face down in two rows and eight columns using either a "for" loop or "while" loop, execute 16 times once for each clip.use new to dynamically create card instances based on the Movie Clip symbol in the library.use a modulo operator to operate the x position of each clip use Math.floor to operate the y position of each clip set dynamic text value of the card clip to show appropriate card number add card to the display list if using the iteration variable ("while" loop).this is what i am using and i get one card (the stack of 16) in the bottom left hand corner with a 16 trace statements of "instance 2"

Flex - Compare Two Instances Of A Class?
Oct 8, 2009Let's say I have created a class named Store. This class has several elements such as Name, PhoneNumber, Owner. I've created 2 instances of this class and want to know which values are different. So lets say that Store1 and Store2 are instances of this class.
Store1.Name = "John's Corner";
Store1.PhoneNumber = 111222333;
Store1.Owner = "John";
Store2.Name = "John's Corner";
Store2.PhoneNumber = 444555666;
Store2.Owner = "John";
[Code]...
Is there a way to automatically loop through all elements of a class instance and compare them to the same element in another class instance and return something when they differ?
This might be obvious but I can't figure it out.
