I'm having a bit of a problem with a basic game I'm making where I want to have a number of animals which bounce around the stage.. I can't seem to get the code to apply to more than one of my movieclips using a loop.. if I try to apply vx and vy to the individual movieclips then nothing happens.. for now I have the ten movieclips on the stage but only one whichbounces around.. I have managed to get all of them to move but they each stay in their own area of the stage, but I'd like each to bounce around the stage and not interfere which the others movement.
public function Bounce() crosshairs = new Target(); addChild(crosshairs); init(); private function init():void

I have two MovieClips onscreen, and I want to apply the same mask to both. I set the the masks using

The section in my code that does the rotating is in _root.onEnterFrame. Each movieclip is moved up/down an notch at a time within a 'for' loop. this loop is within a larger 'for' loop depending how many catagories to move up/down.

I noticed this full flash site and wonderring[URL].. How can I apply the resize method like the way they did?
Any examples might help me a lot. I have one main.swf and page.swf which loads within main.swf. My page.swf contains thumbnail images, and it's already position in middle of stage.
When handleResizeObjectOnStage is triggered, it's start to center again on stage. But it's not the same center applied of page.swf. I want to be able to do resize like the example I have posted.

View 4 Replieshow, to apply a property of a var to multiple vars at once. I'm making a point-n-click game where i want to apply the buttonMode property to multiple variables (of MovieClips).
I don't know if this is even possible or how simple or advanced this is, but it would be damn handy.
I have searched on Google and this site for a possible answer, with different search terms/keywords, but can't find anything close. I also tried different things with an asterisk such as *.buttonMode = true and movieClip.*.buttonMode = true but no success.

How can I use the Tween class to apply filters to movieClips?
i want to apply a DropShadow through a tween so that it applys smoothly. Actually i want it to apply on rollover and remove itself on rollout.
I am using CS3, AS2.I have a background image that I am allowing the user to select multiple layers over the top of (layer 1: new pattern, Layer 2: design) and the movieclips have the Blend: Overlay applied to them. My problem is when they select a second option (or a second overlay is applied to the background) the overlay shows the layer belows pattern in the new layer.My question is, is there a way to have the the two movieclips ignore each other and only apply the Blend:Overlay to the background movieclip?

My issue is the code requires that iff i have more than one object that i want to avoid the mouse than i need to make a new set of variables for the second object and pretty much copy the code than change the variable names. Thats all great and dandy but i have a couple hundred very small objects that i need to avoid the mouse. is there any way to maybe apply the code to each object with an onclipload maybe?

as you can see the object i want to move requires its own variables and 2 if statements. and i REALLY dont want to have to copy/paste that code over 200 times and make a new set of variables for each object. maybe i could apply the code to the object itself ? but than what would i name the variables?
I'm kind of new to AS3 and I created a blur effect for 6 text object. I got the result I wanted, but I thought there has to be a better way of doing this. When a mouse is over a text, other texts get blur. Now, I had only 6 object what if you have 10s of objects on the stage.[code]...

Should I use Arrays? Loop?
I'm currently working on a nav bar but I've run into a questionable situation. There are several links in the menu, and for each i'd like a mouse event on over and on out. Do I have to specify both of these events for each link, or is there an easier way to do it that I don't know about? Can you apply event listeners to multiple objects/functions?
View 6 RepliesI want to group some objects (movie clips) in a way allowing me program an event that applies to all of the objects.To be specific, I want to group some buttons in a video player. If the mouse hovers over any one of the buttons, that button's animation will jump to frame 2. How can I do this?(I figured there is probably an easier way than programming each individual button to jump to frame 2 on mouse over.)

I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?
