ActionScript 1/2 :: Using AttachMovie To Add MovieClips To Stage?
Sep 30, 2009
I have a file where movie clips are added to the stage at random time intervals and locations. How do I get pieces of code to effect all the created movie clips? At the moment I'm using attachMovie to add the movie clips to the stage. Once a movie clip is added I want to add three actions to it: the first makes it so that clicking on the movie clip will remove it from the stage, the second makes the movie clip move in a random direction across the stage, and the third makes it so that when the movie clip reaches the end of it's own timeline it performs an action then removes itself.

I am generating movieClips dynamically using attachMovie and then using a setInterval to animate them. However, if I repeat the operation the second set of mcs move twice as fast, the third set three times as fast etc. I can't for the life of me work out why.

I did some searching and it looks like elements that are on the timeline are added at the lowest possible depth first and in increasing order. I want to attach a movie clip, but I want it to be behind elements that are on the timeline. How can I do that if timeline elements are already as low as they can go?

how to put Movie Clips on my stage using the attachMovie command, but they always appear in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get them to appear in a predetermined area of the stage, without having to edit the Movie Clip itself?

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

I had a movieclip which contained a button in it exported as "mc". Then I attach this movie clip onto the stage using: _root.attachMovie("mc", "link1", 1); But i couldn't find it with AS. I mean, how can i refer to the button inside the movieclip after I attach it onto the stage using attachMovie?

I'm having a hard time trying to accomplish this. I want to have several different movieclips on the stage, either added there when making the fla or dinamically created through AS3 and I want them to be controlled by a certain function. I read the blue circle tutorials on this site but I'm not sure I got it right I have done something similar to this (not posting the real thing because it's not in English and too long):
public class blabla
private var variable1
private var variable2
[Code].....
I'm not sure what to do to have the function work with different movieclips using different arguments. I could change this for an instance name, for example, but then I would have to do a function for each mc and that wouldn't make any sense. It would be cool if I could give the instance name as an argument but I don't think that's possible.

I have one MC on stage with instance name "box". That MC duplicates by using this script:
Code:
duplicateMovieClip (box, newname="box2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
box2._x = xPoz;
box2._y = yPoz;
So the new MC is now called "box2".
Inside original MC "box", I have one button. After click on that button, I need to know on which MC I clicked. box, or box2. I tried to use:
Code:
trace (this._name);
But, that get me only instance name of the button.

I wasn't sure if I were to put this in the Actionscript forum or in here, so I put it in here. I'm making a small test for a game so I made two attached movieclips to the stage. I got them to move at each other, but when they hit, it doesn't detect it. Is there anyway i can make them hit eachother? Heres the code

I have some movieclips on my stage that are there via timeline. I also add movieclips on stage using addChild.
What is the best way of changing the order of the movieclips because they overlap sometimes? eg.
mc_a is on the stage already
mc_b is called on stage using addChild
Can I change the order of mc_a using script even though it was already on stage?
Can I remove mc_a off stage using script?
How do add mc_b under mc_a so that mc_b does not overlap mc_a?

I am creating a miner game (where there are pieces of gold and you have to catch them with hook).I modified the Main class to take all children of MovieClip(root) that has name "Gold" and them put them in an Array(boulders[]) where later check collision (I design and put on stage several "Gold" MovieClips for every level). When the player collects all gold (when the boulders array.length <= 0) then goToAndStop(nextLevel), where again it takes the gold MovieClips from the stage and if it's name is == "Gold" then put's it in the boulder[].
What happened: On the first level(frame 2 cause frame 1 is the preloader) everything is good - I have 2 gold MovieClips on the stage(in design mode) and all 2 gold are put in the array and displayed.
On the second level I have 4 gold and only 2 of them are put in the array and displayed.
On the third level I have 7 golds designed on stage, but only 3 are displayed and put in the boulder array.
It's almost the previous count of the gold(on the previous frame) are subtracted from the count of the next frame gold movieclips.I am placing the Main.as code:
public function createLevel(){
nextLevel = this.currentFrame + 1;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < MovieClip(root).numChildren; i++){[code]....

Im trying to dynamically add several of the same movieclips to the stage. This movie clip contains a textbox. I have tried the following:-[code]I have my movieclip exported fror actionscript with the identifier as (textbox). This code does add a textbox to the stage however it only adds the second one which says "goodbye" but not the first one which should say "hello"? I thought the loop should go round twice and add a 'newText1' and a 'newText2'??

I want to pull in an xml list containing thumbnail image src, image label, and video clip info, into a format on the stage. The thumbnail images should be pushed into 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. Eventually, I want to load the image label into a text box (should be easy), and then the videoclip to be played via click onto thumbnail (will attempt that later)
Below is my code:
Code: Select allimport fl.transitions.Tween;

I'm trying to add movieclips to the stage, but can't. They are inside of an array that I have made. The code is short but it doesn't work:
Code:
var myarray:Array=new Array(mymc1,mymc2);
this.addChild(myarray[0]);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can I use the array to call the movieclip in some other way?
