Im trying to build a script that attaches and positions an instance of a movieclip for each node of an xml sheet. However, I can't seem to get it to loop properly. The script is simply attaching and positioning the movieclip according to the last node in the xml file. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?!Here is my script:

I'm trying to learn AS3 and it hasn't vaguely been going well. I've been looking at dozens of tutorials for 2 days on attaching MovieClips from the library. Everything I've tried gives me errors and I don't know what to do anymore.
View 4 RepliesLet's say I have 30 movieclips in the library, all of the are unique and have linkage names item0, item1,..., item29. Now I need to display them. In as2 I would do:[code]How can I do this in as3? As far as I know I can only attach movies from library like "new Item0()", is that right? So there is no way I could do this in a for-cycle?
View 5 RepliesI've been trying to use a for loop to attach a few movie clips to the stage in vain. I couldn't find any relevant examples in neither my flash manual nor the flash help nor the internet.I have a few movie clips (let's say five) that I have created manually. I want to attach them to the stage using the for loop.If I had to attach a single instance, I would do it as follows:
Code: Select allvar pic1:MovieClip = new Pic1();
pic1.x = 10;
pic1.y = 15;

In my library I have a bunch of movieclips that are dynamically going to be placed on my stage. Is there a simple method of attaching ActionScript to these movieclips so that when they are used on the stage, they have the script applied to them already?

View 1 Repliesway to attach multiple movieclips from the library to the stage is and name them in an appropriate way, then refer to them as if they were an array: fielder[i]. I have tried a few approaches but the closest I have got is this: (this is attached to a movieclip already on the stage).
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("fielder","fielder" + [i],this.getNextHighestDepth());

View 1 RepliesI have used AS2 for a long time, and have decided it is time to start working with AS3. When attaching multiple movieclips with instance names I would normally do this (AS2):
Code:

_root.attachMovie("test_mc","test_mc" + i,(300 + i),{_x:fx[i], _y:fy[i]});
_root["test_mc" + i]._width = 26.1;

I'm trying to create a photogallery. I read both of the tutorials on the site, but couldn't find the answer to my problem. First, I will outline my methodology.
There is a directory called images, and therein are stored (surprise surprise) the images for the gallery. There is also a textfile that contains the number of images in the gallery.
Flash runs a loop that uses duplicateMovieClip to create instances of each image and set them up into rows and columns.
That's as far as I've gotten.
I want to be able to click these new movie clips, and have the image that was clicked appear in full size at the top of the screen. Basically, I just need to know how to assign actions to these newly created clips. Is it possible to do this when they are being created? Here's my code, thus far. I was trying to work from scratch, and my knowledge of actionscript is limited.
Code:
var beam:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
beam.load("/images/imagecount.txt");
row = 1;

Alright, so I'm trying out AS3.0, or learning to and I got some questions, which I think should be (and probably are) easy to do.Say I have an .as class file "Animal"and in the Library I have MCs - "Cat", "Dog"in AS2.0 - the MC in the library would have the class of "Animal" and I'd useattachMovie("Cat", ...) or attachMovie("Dog", ...) and it would eference the functions/script of the "Animal" .as Class.Now from what I understand, in AS3.0 - the MC in the library would have the class as "Cat" or "Dog" and I'd change the base class to "Animal" (and have my Animal.as 'class Animal extends MovieClip')Least that's how I think it works.Now let's say in my library I have "Cat1", "Cat2', "Cat3" and I wanted to attach these to the stage through a function
in AS2.0
createCat(catType:String){
this.attachMovie(catType,...)

the problem I've encountered on the home pg flash is that two big buttons and a bike animation should display prior to the photos loading. However, in firefox on both mac and pc(but not everyone's) when you refresh the pg such that it draws from the browser's cache, the buttons and bike animation do not display. Oddly, the photos still load consitently and in time as if those animations did take place. "oddly" because, the code to load the photos is part of an event listener, listening for the completion of the bike animation. So the code executes properly, despite the movieclips not appearing on stage(these movieclips are in library to begin and in my documnt class I instatiate them as follows:
realtors_btn = new RealtorsButton();
buyers_btn = new BuyersButton();
bike = new Bike(X-150);

also, originally I had this same issue in IE, but after switching from swfObject 2.0 to adobe's ac_runactivecontent.js method, I elliminated the issue in IE.

I want to randomly load 3 animations in a topbanner on my website. The 3 animations are placed inside their own movieclip and loaded to the stage by using "attachMovie". This works fine. But when a movieclip is loaded to the stage and the animation inside of it is finished playing how do i attach or load another movieclip randomly to the stage?

So im trying out AS3 and kinda havin some issues. I want to be able to attach a button or a movieclip that I have constructed in the Flash IDE - it contains a textfield, some other movieclips, etc.If i make it a button, I have tried subclassing the simplebutton class, attaching that class to the button, and then creating new instances of that class. That works fine - until I have to access, say, a textfield in the button. It seems that these elements are drawn, but are not accessible (or even connected in any way - i used flash.utils.descibreType(mybutton) and the instance names dont even show up in the XML).
So, I thought about a different route - using a movieclip or sprite, and making it react LIKE a SimpleButton. Not what I had in mind, but whatever. Unfortunately, it seems that when I subclass Sprite or MovieClip, the class has to be made dynamic in order to attach things to it from within the IDE before compilation (as opposed to from actionscript).
I'm trying to make a photo gallery using AS2 and XML, my thumbnails work fine, a reflect added via the Reflect class works too but I'd like to attach a movieClip to my thumbnails so that when you roll over it, this movieClip starts to play. I've tried the attachMovie method after the loading of the thumbnails (onLoadInit then) but it's still not working !! The same attachMovie to the scene works but not when I try to attach it to my thumbnails, I think I've got some trouble with the targeting of my thumbnails or with the place in the script where I try to do the trick
Code:
var monTableauSrc:Array = new Array();
var monLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var monListener:Object = new Object();
var monXml = new XML();
monXml.load("galeries.xml");

I'm making a gallery using MovieClipLoader&loadClip. I follwed a tutorial and everything works fine, although the preloader is just plain text. I want a graphic preloader instead, so I imported in the library a gif, turned into a movieClip, and linked it for actionscript, but I can't find a way to attach it to the thumbnails.
This is my thumbnails function:
Code:
function callThumbs() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = _root.gallery_x;
container_mc._y = _root.gallery_y;
var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
[Code] .....
I've tried creating an empty movieClip and using attachMovie inside onLoadStart & Progress, but nothing shows up. Here's a link so you can see exactly how the actual preloader is [URL]. So basically instead of the percentages as text for each thumbnail I would like to place in a MovieClip with my own loading animation.

View 1 RepliesI am working on a game that involves a play head (called playHead) moving along the screen and when it encounters various movie clips it triggers a sound to be played. It is all going well except that the sound seems to want to play more than once, so there is a staggered wierd sound. Is is possible to make the sound only play once and also it needs to play until the the sound has finished. (the sounds are all very short).Here is the code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if (this.hitTest(_root.playHead)){ _root.sound15.stop(); _root.sound15.attachSound("over"); _root.sound15.start(); } }

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.
