How do I set up an array (or other method), to disable the visibility of a group of movie clips all at once?
I've tried this...
var invisibleMCs:Array = new Array ("MC1", "MC2", "MC3");
invisibleMCs._visible = false;
I have this "point" movie clip that starts on a random hitpoint. I can drag around, on the stage and there are more than 10 small invisible movie clip.How do i create any sort of algorithm where it can somehow "loop" thru all the movie clips to test if it hits any?If so, it will snap to it, else it will revert back to the previous hit point?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a game where missiles are created using the duplicateMovieClip thing and I've used it a lot before, but i never noticed that there is a limit to the number of layers, around 256, I think. The problem is that i have a bunch of sprites in my games and each of them move(i.e. fire,smoke,shrapnel from rockets,etc) so is there a way to group a large amount of movie clips so that they're on one layer, without putting them into another movieclip? If u want look at a part of my game, well two parts.
View 3 Repliesi have a bunch of movie clips and in order to make them rotate the way i want i have grouped them together, made the entire group into a movie clip and applied the motion tween. I'm trying to code it so that when i mouse over the movie clips WITHIN the group movie clip, something happens. How would i go about it? All i can work out is how to make the entire group react on mouse over, not the individual movie clips themselves.
View 2 RepliesI place a group of movie clips with random types (different shapes on a square) in a grid formation The code for placing the movie clips is this (this is in two for loops):
[Code]...
this goes up a single column in the grid and should remove the tiles from the stage depending on each type and it does this (sort of) until it tries to remove more than one of the same type. So if it finds and removes an lShapes it doesn't error until it tries to remove another lShapes and then it gives this error in the output: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So I am assuming that this means it thinks all lShapes have been removed and thinks I'm trying to remove something that doesn't exist but there are other lShapes on the stage. I am at a loss as to what to do about this.
What will my movie clips not disable here. They are still clickable? I get my trace 24 times. what am i doing wrong. I have 24 cards all named card0_mc - card23_mc.[code]
View 2 Repliesnot sure how difficult this is going to be, but I have 30 movie clips, which will all be sequentially numbered. (pos1, pos2, pos3......pos30). They will all have the same functions, with the only change being the number. I know there is a more efficient way to write this code using arrays, but I will need help with it. I would rather have 10 lines of code than 150. I also need help with writing the code, that will disable all other movie clips, once the first one is clicked. Also, not sure how tricky the javascript part will be. Below is the code i am trying to achieve, but the long version.

I was wondering if its possible to add an array of filters to a movieclip, then remove the ones that correspond to another array.At the moment, I can add the filters to the array with concat but there doesn't seem to be anyway to reverse that.I think it's easy to show what I want to do with code:
Code:
var filterslist:Array = new Array();
var filters1:Array = new Array();
var filters2:Array = new Array();
[code].....
/* hover out: (what I want to to do but no function seems to exist): */
filterslist = filterslist.removegroup(filters3); // think of it as an inverse concat function
this.fitlers = filterslist;
I think it may be possible to do by looping out the filterslist array, sub-looping the filters3 array and then comparing each one and splicing it out if they match but this seems long-winded, bad code and would produce bad performance.
New at AS3, more of a designer than coder but I try. This will probably be easy for this forum's pros: I have 6 main buttons and 50 other buttons. When people click on one of the six main buttons, I need the 50 other buttons labeled from t_1 to t_50 to be disabled (mouseEnabled=false)
I don't want to write the same line of code 50 times so I'm trying something like this. This is the code for button#6:
butt6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,menu6Handl er);
function menu6Handler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//other tasks, etc...

I have a question, but it needs a little backstory and explanation to make sense. I've searched a lot of places for an answer and have only come up short.I'm using Flash 8 and AS2.A few months ago I made a somewhat complex interactive doll.I came up with the idea to have the blouse have these massively poofy sleeves, and then have a jacket be tight fitting. So when I move the movieclip of the jacket over onto the blouse, the sleeves will disappear, kind of like real clothing, where you can bunch up fabric to fit.I did this by cutting the shirt into three separate movieclips and coding them to move together, so when the jacket moved onto the specified coordinates, and the shirt was established on the base, the sleeves movie clip would simply disappear.
Below is part of the action script connected to the jacket.[code]When you move the jacket away, the sleeves are still invisible. And if you have the shirt and jacket on, and you click on the underwear button to view the undergarment movieclips, the sleeves and sides are visible again, simply because that is the coding for the "drawer" buttons. Simply clicking on the jacket or the shirt creates the desired result, but it doesn't look very clean.I've tried using similar script to the above, to make the visibility true, but it's only served to make it visible all the time, even if the drawer buttons make it invisible.[code]
Is there a script I can use so the sleeves disappear once the jacket is on, but immediately after moving the jacket away, the sleeves reappear? And at this point, is there a way to keep the "undress" button from affecting this, but still keep the sleeves invisible when it reveals other garments and the shirt is on the doll?Should I be making the sleeveless shirt another frame inside the shirt movieclip, rather than a completely separate movieclip? And if so, I know how to go and stop to the next frame using a button, but not sure how to do it with a movieclip.So, I still couldn't get it to work with the shirt as 3 separate movieclips. Instead, I made it all one movieclip with different keyframes, each combination possible on its own frame. And when the jacket moves onto the shirt, it goes and stops to frame 2. When the jacket is not on the x coordinate, it goes and stops to frame 1 again.
How can I enable or disable a group of components in flex (flash builder 4)?
For example, if I have a window with several fields, I want to disable them based on the users permissions.
I know I can add the enabled="true" or "enabled="false", and I can also use enabled="{writeAccessVar}"
However, I am looking for more ideas, as I might have more than one group of fields on the screen, or more complicated user permissions.
For example, I will currently have one field with write access, the other fields on the screen read only for a certain user level.
For a higher level user, all fields are writable. Lower level, all are read-only.
I have created a timeline with visibility button against each column. The timeline.swf is loaded into two empty movieclips to create a two-screen operation. Everything works fine except, I cannot for the life of me get the visibility button on the first swf to affect the visibility for the column on the second swf.

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

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.

View 2 RepliesI�m trying to toggle the movie clips visibility by passing in a parameter. I have seen an example of this before, but can�t remember how it�s done. Here is the basic set up below. Basically, you can set one of the movie clip visible while the other movie clips are invisible by passing in a parameter.

View 1 RepliesHere's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

I have a problem stopping multiple clips. I have created a presentation using flash and I have many movie clips which have sub movie clips inside of them. Ok lets look at one movie clip in detail. Inside one _root movie there are multiple sub movies; each with a different movieclip labels (each movie clip is named with unique labels ie. north, south, east, west, and What I need to do is be able to STOP all these sub movie clips with one stop, and in turn PLAY these same movie clip with a second action.
The only way I know how to stop all these sub movie clips is to target each and every one individually.
