ActionScript 1/2 :: Applying Multiple Instances Of Same MovieClip
Aug 27, 2009
I have the following code on frame1 of my movie that I want to apply to multiple instances of the same movie clip:
mainClip_mc.subClip1_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//code begins
SpecifiedClip_mc exists in subClip1 through 4. Is there a way to do this once without having to say:
mainClip_mc.subClip2_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
mainClip_mc.subClip3_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
mainClip_mc.subClip4_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
Essentially, specifiedClip_mc's parent clip is what's throwing me here. The code to be applied to specifiedClip_mc is identical and I'm not going the correct route by doing this the long repetitive way.

I was just wondering if there is a way to simplify this code. I have 3 identical movie clips and I use actionscript to alter the color to the same color. Right now I use 3 different colorTransform variables. Could I just use one since its all the same color? How would it look like.
So far, naming all the movie clips the same instance name did not work. Is there a better way?
Code:
var color1:ColorTransform = button1.transform.colorTransform;
color1.color = 0x99628B;
button1.transform.colorTransform = color1;

I've built a dropdown menu movieclip that I need to use in a contact form- or more specifically, I need 2 dropdowns with different options in them in the same form. My problem is that when I change the properties in one instance of the dropdown_mc, it changes the properties in the other as well. The two clips have different instance names, and I've been changing labels of the list items by clicking through to the actionscript imbedded in each dropdown (not through the dropdown_mc in the library). There must be an obvious solution to this that I somehow didn't catch....I've even tried dragging each dropdown from the stage back into the library and creating a new movie clip with a different symbol name and they're still connected. Do I need to create an entirely new copy of this dropdown with different instance names

I am working on a project which looks like a crossword puzzle. When you mouse over on the white boxes they will light up. When you mouse over the letters they will have 3d rotations and when you rollover only some specific letters, they will flip some specific boxes.
Right now what happens is, when you mouse over the boxes with letters on them, the letters will rotate but the box will not light up. This is because I have created the box movieclip, with the invisible button inside it, and then just duplicated it in my scene to create a tile. But the invisible button for the letters are on the scene,so it's kinda overriding it.when I tried having the buttons on the scene rather than inside the movie clip, what happened is when you roll over one of the boxes, all of them will animate.

I'm having trouble creating multiple instances of one movieclip. I've got an array set up that loads photos into flash and places them in a grid (sort of). I want those photos to have outlines around them. So, i created an outline. Now, when i try to place it on all of the photos, it will run through them and only apply itself to the latest photo (one instance overwrites the others). How do i make multiples of the outline?

I have a movieclip with one armature inside, and I want to make some instances of it. But after the registering of the armature, with registerElements, only the first instance's bones can be used/moved.

I have a movieclip that gave a class name and set everything to export into action script. Now, I would like to put multiple instances of that same movieclip on the stage. I would also like to be able to keep track of them individually. Would I need to do something like create a for loop and have it run however many times i want that movieclip onstage? If I did that, how would I be able to manage them? Would I also give them names in the for loop and have a var that goes ++ every time it loops, then attach that var to the end of the name I give it.

I'm attaching two movie clips, with a blur filter applied. Problem is, I'm only able to get one of them to render the blur.
Code:
var blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(8, 8, 2);
var blur1:BlurFilter= blur;
attachMovie("blucirc","blucirc",_root.table.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:211.0, _y:340, _xscale:150, _yscale:220});
this.blucirc.filters = [blur];
[code]...
I've tried... with and without the .this tags, along with just using [blur] for both before trying to create [blur1] for the second application...

Basically, I have made a new FLA file, and in it's library I have created two symbols. Both symbols have their own class .as file.The first symbol is a movie called GridBox, and it's class has a package that uses lines to draw a shape, namely, a diagonal box tile.The second symbol is a movie called MainGrid, and it has a class that loads the movie GridBox from the library, in to its self.All my code works fine, the thing is, I would like to load more than one instance of the same movie clip, at a series of different locations, and im lost.Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class MainGrid extends MovieClip private var myMovieClip:MovieClip;

I'm modifying a flash slideshow (actually the one from kirupa.com) and among other things, I'm trying to get it to generate small LEDs depending on the number of images the script finds in the xml file. I intend to make them light up depending on the image currently up (i.e. image #5 lights up led #5) and allow users to click on the LEDs to jump around between images.
The problem I'm having now is that I can't get the file to generate more than one LED at a time. In fact, it seems to only generate the last LED needed and places it in the final LED position. My only real guess at this point is either I'm not indicating a new depth properly, or I'm creating the new movieclip over and over again but not actually creating a duplicate of it, or something like that.[code]...

I'm using Adobe Flash CS4.The language is Action Script 3In my library I have 2 items:playerwallthe player object is already functioning correctly with moving him around.Now when I place multiple wall objects into the stage (wall = 32x32 px) I want to prevent the player from moving when he walks into a wall.I've tried giving all the walls the same instance name and just check for a collision with that object but when I do that the collision only works for 1 of the walls.I could give all the instances of wall a different collision script but this is way to time consuming, is there another way to globally define the wall as solid for the player?

I have a movieclip created in the IDE exported to Actionscript via the Library panel (Linkage?).I instatiate multiple instances of it via a loop on the timeline.I want to move them around randomly via Actionscript. How do I do that?I tried using listeners, but I have no way to store values to make each movement unique.

how to group objects together so that you can change their parimeters all at once. Like if I have a 7 boxes on screen with the instance name box1, box2, ect..... and i wanted to do change them via action script, like make them all partailly invisible when an event happens. How would I do that. I've tried stuff like
box = ["_root.red", "_root.blue"];
box._rotation = 40;
and
box = [_root.red, _root.blue];

i need to apply one function to multiple moviclips. the problem is that every mc has different behavior. for example:
movie clip A need to change it position when condition is "true" to point 50, 250.
movie clip B need to change it position when condition is "true" too but to point 75, 100.
is there anyway to define different parameters to the function according to the movieclip name?

Ok so here is my XML slideshow Actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?

I have a large amount of btn's that load full size images when clicked. I simply want to add a filter, scaleX and scaleY to each of those buttons and I know there is a better method then typing each btn name with an eventListener for the Mouse_Over and Mouse_Out events. I understand that I need to create a variable of a new filter and then apply it to the display object. Like so..
var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x0066FF, 1, 10, 10);function hover(event:MouseEvent):void{ pic1_btn.filter = new Array(glow); pic1_btn.scaleX = 1.02; pic1_btn.scaleY = 1.02;}pic1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hover);[code].....
So if I were to continue this, I would have to type out pic1_btn, pic2_btn, pic3_btn and so on to apply a filter to each object and also type out the object name for each listener.

I made an mc which on being hovered makes a wave. The problem is that I can't think how to apply the code on about 15 mc's. I used the main timeline for coding purpose. Now I want to apply the same waving pattern to the other 14 mc's. I tried the for loop but couldn't get it to work because of the variables involved.
Here's my code-
k = 100;
t = 0;
ascend = true;
waver = false;
waving = false;

I am developing a paint board application using flash builder. User can draw some shapes objects(ellipse, circle, rectangle). I want to implement grouping/un grouping feature some like ms-word in my application. I group multiple objects by putting them inside a container(UIComponent). Now i apply resizing to container and it resize well. I am using a free object handler API to apply selection handle over the container. I want to resize and reposition all children with respect to container changed size. Every thing goes well until all children inside container are having rotation = 0. But if there is any child which is having rotation >0 and <0 things goes worse. The child resize but not in a proper manner. I stretch the parent container width and it increase the height of rotated child. Is there any way using Matrix class or something else to transform all children in same direction and same ratio respective to container?

Applying tint to movieclip is just changing the color transformation of movieclip.
The easiest way is the Color class of fl.motion package.Just make the object of Color class, call setTint function and assign the object to movieClip.transfrom.colorTransform just find the attachment and do yourself. Cheers

I'm a very competent PHP/AS coder, but I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem. Can it be done? Possible ways I've theorised (but not been able to put into practice yet):
1) Loading AS script from external text file, much like loading CSS, or JS in HTML.
2) Writing AS to a movieclip as it is created on the fly.

I asked some flashers to take a look at my problem, but they did not know what happed or why it happend.If you apply a color to a movieclip within a timeline, you also destroy the animation so it seems.I enclosed the fla file for test purpuse. But what i am doing is:I have a main clip called animation and in this clip the playhead goes from frame 1 to 30Inside this animationclip i have a square called myclip that also does some animation.But when you apply a color to this square and you run the animationclip, you will notice thatthe square does not animate anymore. But the playhead still runs, so that is weird isn't itDoes anyone know the answer to this bug ?
The code i used is:
function applyColor(mc:MovieClip, col:Number) {
var tempColor:Color = new Color(mc);
