How would i go about loading a variable into a movie clip and have it pull different graphics from my library at different spots in the main timeline?
View 12 Repliesin Flash CS4 I created two FLA file.
In the First File:
- I draw a shape;
- I convert it to a MovieClip;
- I link a MyClip class with a simple trace in the constructor;
- I export the whole file as MyClip.SWC;
In the Second File:
- I go to Edit > Preferences > ActionScript > ActionScript 3 settings and I add
-in the Library Path- the file MyClip.SWC;
- on the first frame of this swf I write var myClip:MyClip = new MyClip(); addChild(myClip);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I compile (export swf) the class gets loaded (I see the trace in the output window) BUT I can't see the graphics associated to MyClip. It seems MyClip.SWC only contains the code of that clip.
I want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
View 5 RepliesI know that to add a blue circle movie clip from the library the code would be:
var newCircle:BlueCircle = new BlueCircle(); this.addChild(newCircle); In my application I have several different movie clips (circles, squares, rectangles etc). Is there any way to make the "BlueCircle" part a variable? For example...
var theShape= BlueCircle;
var newShape:theShape = new theShape();
this.addChild(newShape);
haha. Even as I write that I know it's really wrong.

I want to creat an instance of an object out of the movie's library. I know there is that one funky function duplicateMovieClip that will duplicate instances of objects already on the stage, but can I dynamically insert objects when I want to, without having to drag a prototype object onto the stage manually?

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0.5);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);

I have my empty_mc, linkageID, instance names and so on. ButI can't seem to get this clip to load from the library.
The code I have on the button is:

port_btn.onRelease = function() {
myBlank_mc.attachMovie(subMenu,attachedSubMenu,1);
};

how to get rid of an instance of a movie clip in the following Scenario. I have tried several methods, e.g., setProperty _visible to false, and the setProperty _scale to 0 (below). But none of these methods really get rid of instance; it merely hides them.
