ActionScript 2.0 :: Attaching User Defined Property To Movieclip?
Oct 24, 2009
I'm creating a product page for a client. The flash portion of it is generated dynamically using an xml document. The issue I'm having is with the features portion of the programming. During the generation of each page a list of features is brought in. Those features all have an associated hotspot that is displayed on the product image. What's supposed to happen is when someone rolls over the feature list item, the list item is highlighted, a description box is displayed and the hotspot glows. Vice versa, when someone rolls over the hotspot the hotspot glows, the list item is highlighted and a description box is displayed.
My issue comes with the communication between the two. Here's what I'm doing so far:XmlLoader is a class I created to deal with getting the nodes. getXMLNode takes two parameters - the parent node and the name of the node we're looking for)
Code:
var featureNumber:Number = 1;
for( var feature:XMLNode = featuresNode.firstChild; feature != null; feature =

In my FLA file (FLASH-8, AS-2)? in the library I have a movieclip named "mc" which is just one frame and in it specifies a property "price" like this: this.price="three";
In the main scene I have this code:
attachMovie("mc","t1",1)
t1.onPress=function(){trace(t1.price)}; //returns the correct value "three"
trace(t1.price); //returns "undefined"
Why the first trace(t1.price) returns the correct value and the second one returns "undefined"?And how do I make this property available without using onPress? The objective is to output the pictures of a set of movieclips and place the price of each picture under it using a dynamic textfield

Is it possible to have a movieclip in FlashCS4 that can be scaled by the user once the file has been posted on the web? Scaled by dragging the corner of a loader or something?

I don't understand why within my function, initially the status of stage.scaleMode via a trace() is NO_SCALE, then it becomes SHOW_ALL. The code below is found at three different location in my overall code.
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; backgroundPositioning(myStage.stageWidth, myStage.stageHeight); stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;

wrote the code for motion straight into the action panel of the bubble symbol and simply duplicated the symbol alot to add more bubbles. What I wanted to do is change all that code into global functions that can simply be called by each movie clip thereby cleaning it up alot and making it more modifyable. The problem is that I can't figure out how to write and call the functions properly. Here is what I have:
Layers:
Actions: where the functions are defined
Bubble: contains symbols (clip calling the functions)

I am trying to load external swf's into my main swf through nested movieclips.Its like this: STAGE > contents_mc > loader_mc Also most of the code is from tutorial's out on the net.Content_mc I have the following MC's in content_mc (on 2 separate layers, if you want to know):
- Preloader_text (PText)
- loader_mc (LoaderExt)
[code]...
Problem: I am having a problem in calling the function ClipLoader and loading a clip through the loader_mc MovieClip (the text in Purple). The reason I am using this is eventually I will put in code in contents_mc to load various external swf per conditions i give.

I am looking for a way to sort numbers enterred by a user, prefferably in order smallest to largest or vice verser - but at very least to find the smallest & largest numbers of the ones enterred.There are approximately going to be 15 numbers or so.
So for example:
Enterred A = 56
Enterred B = 7
[code]...
when sorted or the other way round (largest to smallest).this could be done with comparrisons but for 15 numbers it would be A LOT of comparisons.

For example. I have a particle system with a set number of particles active on the screen at any time "numOfParticles". I am trying to be able to change "numOfParticles" to define itself based on whatever number you input in the input_txt field. So far I am able to display the number of particles into the input text box:
Code:
input_txt.text = numOfParticles.toString();
Now I want to be able to change that value based on user preference.
So far I have:
Code:
function changeNumber(event:Event):void{
numOfParticles = input_txt;
}
change_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeNumber);
But it's not working. I don't think I have the proper identifiers, because I know I'm supposed to attribute the input text field as a ":Number" somehow...

While developing with Adobe Flex, I'm working on my first application - and use pretty much actionscript.
In my mxml application, I include as3 file via <mx:Script source="as/myas3file.as></mx:Script>.
In myas3file.as, I include (thru include "variables.as";) file variables.as, which contains following code:
var timer:Object = new Object();
timer.t = 60;
or (in other test case)
var timer:Object = {t:60, j:"80"};
timer.t = 80;
Neither case works! Even if I rewrite example code from official documentation, it throws an 1020 error.

Here is the basic structure of my xml code:
[Code]....
Now what i want to do is,
1. create some templates in Flash CS3 <!--i want to learn -->
2. use actionscript 2.0 for coding
3. read nodes from xml <!-- i know how to do this -->
a. read the template type of the screen <!-- i know how to do this -->
b. for a particular screen on flash, load the template (made in 1) onto stage <!--i want to learn -->
c. read data from xml file <!-- i know how to do this -->
d. load the data onto template in flash. <!--i want to learn -->
I want to do this because i think re-using will make my application size smaller.
Can I do this?

I'm having issues trying to reference a movieClip after attaching it. What I have is:
Code:
btn_instructions.onRelease = function() {
instructions = true;
attachMovie("parchment", "mc_parchment", getNextHighestDepth(), { _x:280, _y:280 });
} mc_parchment.btn_close.onRelease = function() {
instructions = false;
trace("close");
removeMovieClip(mc_parchment);
}
The first is creating it on top of the other items that are created during the game. I can't have the instructions on the timeline and just change the visibility of it due to all the assets this game is making. The instructions variable is used in an if statement elsewhere in the game to lock the user controls so they can't create anything else in the game while your viewing the instructions. The second function is the one that should close it. The movie clip that's attached has a button in it, with the instance name btn_close. The trace doesn't even pop up so it's not targeting it correctly. Yet when I go to 'debug' and 'list objects' both mc_parchment and mc_parchment.btn_close are listed as being in the scene after clicking the instructions button.

Here is my setup:
AS 2.0
Flash 8
I have a bunch of MovieClips in my library with exported names.I am attaching select ones to the stage.I need to modify its position based on properties I want the MovieClips to have.
For example:
var ImageSymbol= "MovieClip34";
this.attachMovie(ImageSymbol, "Image0", this.getNextHighestDepth());
Image0._x = 500 + Image0.XOffset;
I would like XOffset to be in a place where I can change it per MovieClip. That is, like the first frame in each MovieClip in the Library.So in the first from of MovieClip34 I would have:
var XOffset = -65;
This did not work.I also tried making a class (ImagePositioner.as file) with the following in it:
public var XOffset:Number;
and setting ImagePositioner as the class of all the MovieClips I would be attaching in the library,and on the first frame of each movieclip in the library put:
XOffset = -65;
I would change the original to the following:
Image0._x = 500 + ImagePositioner(Image0).XOffset;
That also did not work.

I know I'm missing something rather basic here, but can't figure it out. I want to take a "currentlySelected" target of a hit test and attach it to a movieClip container. It traces as an object, but I can't figure out how to translate this to a movieClip. I'm sure I've done this before--- but I'm drawing a blank.
Code:
trace(currentlySelected + " hit test box 1")
currentlySelected.x=box1.x;

In the first frame of my main movie I include a AS file. In that as file there is a MC attached from the liberary named 'shoutbox_holder'. In the shoutbox_holder mc I attach 5 movieclips 'window1', 'window2'.. also from the library. This works very well, because I see the mc's in the debug mode.
shoutbox_holder
|_window1
window2
window3
..
I want the 'shoutbox_holder' to attach to a scrollpane, so I did drag a scrollpane to the main stage from the componentspanel, deleted it and drag a instance from the library to the stage, then In the contentpath field I insert 'shoutbox_holder' (pointing to the mc created in the as file). But this will not work 'I already tried different paths' but nothing!

I am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),
edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .
