how can we place hundreds of instances of one movieclip on different place?
for exemple, pacman:
how should i code the placement of all the money?
i would go:
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
but that's not the good solution is it?
there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.
I'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?
View 1 RepliesI have made many small swf files for each section of my website. The problem is now I want to club them all together to avoid breaks and showing of the loader at inappropriate moments, I know that was poor planning on my part. I want to know I can place an external swf onto the stage, so that it gets loaded with the main swf. As in, I don't want to call a loadMovie or loadClip
View 1 RepliesI bought a template website and I understand pretty much all of the AS by now that they use. But I would like to decrease the file size so I wanted to load things externally. Here's a layout:Main Timeline:page1movieclips of all kinds plus a thumbnail scrollbar to load some other movieclips inside page1.page2page3page4code on the buttons inside the thumbnail scrollbar:

I am trying to place an external .swf into my main movie.
I created a container movie for the .swf in the main .fla:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mapcontainer",this.getNextHighestDepth );
mapcontainer._x = 163;
mapcontainer._y = 101;
[Code]....
I imagine that the solution lies in readjusting _root for the fact that the external .swf is now placed inside a parent, but I don't know how to do that.
n.b. my final movie is meant to run offline.
I have a menu that when you click on a button, an external swf is called up. However I would like for the buttons in the Over and Down state to show an image on top of the external swf with a description of what the video is about (Basically when they rollover the button).
The problem is that the image shows behind the external swf. I cannot get it to appear on top of the external swf. I have tried putting the buttons layer on top of the actions layer but that doesn't work.
I have a problem loading in external swf's. I have one MovieClip in main.swf that is called pageHolders, and I assigned a class: Main.as. My problem is that I am trying to load external swf's from XML and place them into pageHolders, but I cant understand how.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to place a movieClip on a grid. What I have is a rectangular movieClip called recMc and I would like to create columns and rows based on two numbers that are dynamically generated, for instance if those numbers are 5 and 6, (5 rows and 6 columns) I will end up with 30 movieClips on the stage forming a rectangular shape. Oh, I would like to have some space in between each movieClip.
I think I saw something like this posted on [URL] when I bought the book, but since this site is down most of the time I cannot view it.
Code:
var rows:Number = dynamicNum1;
var cols:Number = dynamicNum2;
for(var i=0; i<rows; i++){
}

what I have are pieces of a truck and the user needs to be able to drag and drop the pieces to the correct locations. I can get the pieces to drag, but I need help locking them into place once they get within a certain area. So for example if they drag and drop the wheels of the truck towards the back, but not in the exact location, then the movieclip will move and lock into place and then the movieclip becomes disabled.
var dragMC = finalMC.graphicMC;

I am currently working on a platformer, and I have a bunch of different tiles I use to form my maps with. These tiles are very different in the looks, and placed besides eachother, they give a very sharp change, which is not very visually appealing. I've been trying to fix this in the following way:
I have four layers, two for each block I'm fading. The first layer is where the actual tile, the graphic, is located. The second layer is the mask. In the mask layer, I have a gradient, which is the exact opposite of the other tiles mask layer (Mask layer 1 goes down, mask layer 2 goes up). However, I need to be able to alter those dynamically, place new gradients in the appropriate mask layer, and new tiles in the appropriate graphics layer.
I've been googling around for the last hour or so, attempting to find a way to define which layer a new MovieClip is placed on, but all I've found is setChildIndex, which, since one layer acts as a mask, I can't use. Is there any such function in Actionscript, or am I to make all combinations of tiles by hand?
I've placed this code on the root time line and it works great, however i need to print multiple MovieClips and I can't do that unless I place all the MovieClips into one MovieClip and that's were this code stops working.
This code keeps two seperate MovieClips physically connected while dragging both while on different layers. [code]...
Can place a border around an empty movie clip:
mc.createEmptyMovieClip("newName".getNextHighestDe pth());
I wish make a zoom with tweenlite library on a movieclip. But I wish zoom on a focus where the user click.
