Im having 5 Mc's on stage : room1a to room5a.I want to add when the clip runs on the start, an onRollOver function to each MC's dynamicly , as i did here :
var i = 0;
for(i=1;i<6;i++){
_root['room'+i+'a'].onRollOver = function(){
trace("room" +i+ " was crossed over");
}
}
what i get on the trace is : room6 was crossed over . on each MC's i roll over with the mouse.
I'm an advanced flash developer and action scripter with more than 4 years of experience.I need to have an explanation to this problem. I have created a vector shape mask on the timeline that does different shape tweens. There is a movieclip container that is under the mask. When i dynamically load a movieclip from the library into that masked container, it will disappear after the keyframe of the shape tweened mask is reached. Why is that so? Isn't that illogical? I attached a simple fla demo.
View 1 RepliesHow to dynamically attach a specific MC to each Button's states ?In order to be able to change them at run-time, I'd like to attach a MC on the button's <UP> state , another MC on the button's <OVER> state, and so on, with the possibility to change these MC later on. The button is, itself, encapsulated in another MC.

In my code below I create 3 green boxes. I want it to trace the sequence number of each box after it's clicked on, but I can't figure out how to make that happen.
Code:

In the project I am working on I am trying to get a button 'menu button' from the library to appear on rollover within a dynamically created thumbnail mc. So basically when you roll over any one of the thumbs a button appears that can be clicked. I have tried to directly attach the button and also tried to create an empty clip in side the thumb and then attach the button to this empty clip. With this second method I can trace the empty clip though still can't get the button to attach.
Code:
currentThumbs.onRollOver = function() {
v = this.createEmptyMovieClip("ButtonContainer", 0); /// ButtonContainer can be traced
v.attachMovie("menu button", "downloadBut"+this.numb, this.getNextHighestDepth());
v["downloadBut"+this.numb].label_txt.text = "Download";
v["downloadBut"+this.numb]._x = 5;
v["downloadBut"+this.numb]._y = 5;
};
I know the 'menu button' works as it is used in other menus within the file though I can't get it to attach to the thumbs. So you know this.numb is working as well. It is created in another part of the code. I can upload the files if needed though it is a rather complex project including several xmls and loads of jpgs.
I am attaching six movies via the attachMovie method. I have put all six of these instances into an array and everything's going smoothly as all box's move around in random places and bounce around around a little. Only problem is I want to mask all 6 of these instances via setMask so they are restricted to one area but can't seem to figure out how to do that.If that's not possible I would also love to know if there is a way to do collision testing with them and then I could draw a border around the area I want them to stay in and have them bounce around that (I would actually prefer this)
View 1 Repliesbasically i am attaching a movie dynamically with the attachmovie method like so:
Code:
for(var y = 0; y < rowSize; y++) {
for(var x = 0; x < colSize; x++) {
attachMovie("box", "box" + count, count);
[code]....
now for each attachmovie they have a Event handler, rollover,rollout, but, on the release event holder I want it to load in some XML like so:
Code:
path.onRelease = path.onReleaseOutside = function(){
//alot of my nifty code that will be skipped for elongated post purposes
//but here is where im getting a error

I thought at first having the XML declared in the loop does make it just loop through 15 times ( length of my nodes) and just display the last XML item, but when i declare it before it, it does NOTHING !!!!!!!!!! it doesnt even display a damn thing, soon as i put it within my loop it displayed atleast something?
I've been attempting to attach bitmaps from the library in AS3, and have settled on a piece of code which works:

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
I have a problem with dragging movieclip which is dynamically generated via attaching movieclip from library.I want to move the movieclip by pressing the yellow square within a boundary say 100*4. I am attaching the flash file with this thread.
View 1 RepliesI want to make a movieclip invisible initially but i dont want to set it manually within the properties in flash because i cant then see it on the scene.i could add some code like so:
MC Frame one.
this.onClipEvent(load)
{
this._alpha = 0;
}
but I cannot. How can i set the MC _alpha to 0 for all instances without adding it manually to each instance or setting it in the properties?
edit: or creating a class for it just to set the alpha.
I am loading an external SWF using the Loader class, and adding it to the stage with addChild.When trying to add a mouse click event listener to the MovieClip, using addEventListener, nothing happens, the event never fires.Is there a specific way to add listeners to externally loaded movie clips?My code looks somewhat like this:
var target:MovieClip = assets["screensaver"] as MovieClip;
target.root.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickScreenSaver, true);
addChild(target);
The target shows up on the display, but the CLICK event is completely ignored.
Is it possible to add event-based effects to Flex components (showEffect, hideEffect, addedEffect,...)? We can register them in MXML declaration

I need to create a textfield that is reporting events on stage dynamically (hitTests, onPress etc.). Something similar to output window in flash application. I want it to add events line by line, so afterall one can see what has been done.

I have a Group on my View, and i'm trying to fill it with some collor and add an mouse event on it, all dynamicaly.the problem is, when i add the mouse event, the group simply turns invisible again. It still exists on the view and responds normally to the mouse event, but i cant see it.here's an code example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" >[code]......
without the mouse event, the group is visible, but it vanishes when i try to add it. i've tried with other events, like the ENTER_FRAME Event and it works normaly, but all the mouse events that i tried turn the Group invisible.i've actually solved my problem using the opaqueBackground property, the Group don't vanish when i add the event this whay. But now i'm curious about the reason of this behavior.
I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];
[code]....
from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.
I'd been working on a side-scrolling shooter game in AS2 for a while and it was going great, but for whatever reason, it scrolls all choppy and the framerate is inconsistent on faster machines. I would have expected the opposite, but it is what is is, I guess. So I'm trying to finally learn AS3, and I found some tutorials that got me started towards remaking what I had, but now I'm stuck.I'm trying to make one of those rotating cannons that shoots projectiles towards the mouse cursor. I have the rotation part working, but I'm having trouble with attaching the projectiles to the stage with enterFrame actions on them.I feel like I'm pretty close to a solution, but I don't understand where to put the functions to move the clips to make them work properly. In AS2, I just put something like this on the cannon clip:
Code:
bullet = _root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+_root.bullets, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:nozzledot.pointx, _y:nozzledot.pointy});

I'm trying to place 5 instances of a horizontal line (mcLine) starting at 78% from the top of the Stage. This all works fine, but I want to be able to have these dynamically created MovieClip instances register mouse events and they don't.First the setup of the mcLine instances:
var nFirstLineY:Number = (Math.round(Stage.height*.78));
var nLineSpace:Number = 22;
var nWaitTime:Number = 1000;[code]...
If I place instances of the mcLine MovieClip on the stage and name them line_1, line_2, etc., the function LineVibrate works, but when I try to add the instances at run time as above, the LineVibrate function stops working.

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
I have noticed that using the "addEventListener" and coming back into a frame, I get multiple events tied to the same component.The design I am using jumps to an "I" frame (intermediate) and then back to the "M" frame (main) when the user performs an action.I add event listeners to several components when I enter that M frame. What I notice is that the events seem to stack up for a particular component.
For instance, if I enter M frame, N number of times and addEventListener("click", handleEvent) to a radio button, I get N calls to handleEvent when the user clicks on the radio button. I guess this kinda makes sense but is not what I want. I just want one event of a particular type (in this case "click") to be associated with the a particular component. I get around this issue by removing the event(s) in the I frame. Then they get reinstalled in the M frame. Only one at a time.
So, just wondering about this behaviour. Is there a way to check for the number of events that are currently active on a particular component? Better way to handle adding events?
I am designing a music player using JavaScript (jQuery) and HTML5, with Flash AS3 to fall back. Basically what I want to do is to be able to click HTML control elements and have them interact with the flash in order to play/pause and skip tracks in the playlist (playlist JSON file read by JavaScript, passes file ID to AS3, AS3 reads another JSON file to get URL, then plays audio)
This enables me to only use the Flash to play the audio, thus creating the same user experience regardless of HTML5 browser support. I'm assuming I will have to 'listen' for events in AS3, however any pointers in how to engage these events in JS and react to the events in AS3
