ActionScript 2.0 :: Attaching Several Movie Clips Into A Movie Clip?
Jun 20, 2006
I'm trying to attach several movie clips into another movie clip. I can add the movie clips successfully . However, the movie clips start from the middle of the main movie clip that I used as the background layer for the other movie clips. Is there any way to make it located to the top left? Here is the code I used:
Code:
Layer_Movie.attachMovie("NumberTop","num",depth,{ _x: scol + (col * 32), _y: scol - 32 });
scol and srow are the attributes that represents the starting locations from the left and top. (I used 10 for the variables scol and srow the movie should be located 10 pixels away from the top and left) 32 is the height and also width of the movie clip to be added.
(I know sometimes actionscript is not so powerful to implement such kind of processes. Since I have not time to wait for the another version of actionscript

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

I'm trying to create a simple platform game and decided to use movie clips for each move ment.I created a movie clip for the character jump called jump_mc and want to simply attach it to the UP keypress so it plays and removes everytime i press up on the keyboard. I've scoured the net but can only find movie clips attached to buttons.

The product is a maze game, where you have to navigate through the dark with a flashlight. Now, whenever I walk into a wall, my character stops, however the "flashlight" (a filter that reveals the texture beneath a mask) floats through the walls as if they didn't exist.
What I am asking, is if there is any way I can make the two movie clips attach to each other in any way, and not separate from each other. I tried applying the "player" hitTest code to the "filter" and "mask", however this caused the flashlight graphic to glitch and get out of position

Firstly, I want to be able to push the space bar on my keyboard during a swf, and for a movie clip to appear on the stage. This is what I have so far:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.attachMovie("Explosion", "Explosion"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["Explosion"+i]._x = _x;
_root["Explosion"+i]._y = _y-20;
}}
but its not working....
Secondly, I want A movie clip to spawn in the middle of the stage, then randomly travel outwards to the edge of the stage, then dissapear. And this needs to happen over and over, with the same movie clip travelling to a different place each time. This is what I have so far :
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
timer = 0;
i = 0;
a = 0;
b = 0;

I want to attach a Movie Clip of a laser I made to a class. Currently I have no animation because that's the least of my problems.
The Laser is meant to fire when I press spacebar but instead i get an Error 1009 Below i have included my Code dealing with the Laser and Shooting By the way nothing crashes its just the laser will not spawn on the stage.
This is the Code on the Stage dealing with the Laser
function shoot(X:Number,Y:Number, A:Number):void
{
var b:Laser = new Laser(X, Y, A);
addChild(b);

I'm trying to make a portfolio page where each of my thumbnails loads with the 'fading grid' effect. I've made all the thumbnails movie clips with the appropriate script, and they all work fine. I've also set them to be exported for actionscript, each with a number as their name, i.e. "1" "2" and so on.
I was then planning on using the following bit of code to load these movies into my portfolio clip, to save me having to do it at author-time.
[Code]....
But for some reason, instead of loading two movies, each one 10 to the right of the previous movie, it just loads them on top of each other. Is it something to do with the stage not updating?

Bit of a problem with trying to attach a sound to a series of movie clips stored in an array. I miss attachSound from AS2, it was so cool. Background first. I'm making a simple pairs game where the aim is to match the 2 cards that have the same sound attachted to it. I'm storing my card movie clips in an array to build the grid (obviously lol) and I have 18 audio files in my library with the class names s0 - s17. Code breakdown below. Apologies if this doesn't appear in code format,[code]I have two issues.
1 - how would I add a sound to each movie clip in the for loop in preparation for adding another function which is called when the user clicks the movie clip and the sound plays?
2 - the grid is 36 tiles long , so to make the whole pairs game work I need to attach each sound twice, and then again I will create another function which will then shuffle them randomly.

I've been trying to figger this one out. How do you create a delay effect when dynamically attaching mc's to another mc, the stage, whatever.
say you're building an xml driven menu which is essentially a stack of mc's attached to another. how do you make them appear to fade in one by one, starting at the top and working toward the bottom? (i can create the effect, just not sure how to script it).
it's gotta be fairly straightforward since i see it lots of places. I tried creating it with frames but that doesn't work since the mc's get attached so quickly.

I need to create new object, but in a layer that is below the tope one. So far I tried some commands:
PHP Code:
_root.attachMovie(...);
- this one creates object above all other. Changing depth doesn't change anything when it's about objects I put manually in editor.
PHP Code:
_root.layername.attachMovie(...);
- this one doesn't work at all.

I'm trying to just attach a movie clip inside of another movie clip, and it's not working...which is beyond me. The following code is written in an actions layer within the first movie clip (main_mc). I want to attach a close button to close an externally loaded swf, and the close button has to be on top of the externally loaded swf, and it's not attaching, so therefore I can't close anything.[code]any glaring mistakes that I can't see? o.O this is really confusing, it seems like such a simple task, I must be missing the greater picture.

I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

It's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!

I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);

I have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.

At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?

i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection
the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects
