When i put a movieclip on the stage, every time i do that, i have to click on it, press f9 (to show the movieclip actions pannel) and past a code on it... and i will use this movielcip a lot of times in my project, so, everytime i put it on the stage i have to put the code on it again... is there a way to attribute the same code to my movieclip (automatically) everytime i put my mc on the stage?
View 8 Replieshow the editors work. Which will be the best way to read the code and then give the user one simple UI? I am thinking of using charCodeAt(num) == "{"? But would it be possible for me to read the code? give me example of how editors 'read' the data or point me some issues that i can look through.

View 5 Repliesis it possible for me to give a movieclip the same position as another movieclip. meaning they will be on top of eachother and when one moves the other moves as well.i know you can do it with the mouse:[code]It would be a great way to cheat the program as im having some problems, but this would fix it. the 2 movieclips though is in a class and the other is on the stage.
View 4 RepliesI wanna link a movie clip which has instace name test1 to a external urlI am using a menu list which has main movieclip instance name as 'Primary_Menu'. And inside this main movie clip there are 7 menus (home, about us etc..) each menus are movie clip and has instance names.Below code is written for linking them to respective frames. but i need to give external url for last menu (test1)
Home_MC.logo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ShowHome);
.Primary_Menu.pmenu_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ShowHome);
Home_MC.Primary_Menu.pmenu_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ShowLocation);

Is there any way to dynamically give a movieclip an instance name? This little process is gonna be spread out to a couple hundred dots, and while it's not really all that hard to type in the variable by hand (in fact it'd "only" take half an hour or so), but the more done dynamically the better, I think.
What I want to do is have a simple movie clip which checks it's own instance name as a variable, and then gotoAndPlay("thatvariable");. For example, say I have a movie clip with instance name "a1". On the clip I'd like to put
onClipEvent (load) {
this.gotoAndPlay(_root.a1); //but in place of "_root.a1",
I'd like to be able to call the instance name so that I can copy and paste the code to multiple movieclips without manually changing the name.
}
_root.a1 is a variable which contains the name of a frame inside of a1, so when you boil it down, it's just telling itself to gotoAndPlay("framename") in a roundabout way. Is this at all possible?

In as2 I could create a movieClip and give it an eventlistener type functionality and function like so:

How do you do the same thing in as3?

View 5 RepliesI'm working on building a 'cover flow' similar to the scroll through iTunes uses for it's album covers. The only difference is my 'cover' needs a background MovieClip that will sit behind it and animate when the images are scrolled to get it a 3D effect. So I have a MovieClip I'm exporting called coverflowItem. This is the movie clip that will sit behind each 'cover' image and have the timeline I want to control from a different .as file. That file is called coverflow.as where all of the elements are assembled and animated.
What I need to do now is find out how to control each instanced coverflowItem so when the arrow buttons are clicked, not only do the covers slide to the appropriate side which they are currently doing now, but also have the associated MovieClip play giving the 3D illusion. I can call the functions from the coverflowItem.as in the coverflow.as but have had no luck actually getting the movie clips to play properly.
//Create CoverflowItem
var cover:CoverflowItem=new CoverflowItem(_data);
This code lets me assess the functions but not actually manipulate the MovieClip. I'm sure my logic if flawed.
I work as a Flash Developer. There are lines of code I use maybe hundreds of times a day that I have to type out each time. Is there any way to save these custom lines of code to the ActionScript tools library?Or would there be a way to save a custom component that enters the lines of code automatically?

View 4 RepliesI want my SWF to fill the browser window, but it's not working in Chrome/FireFox unless the user manually resizes the browser. I'm using Adobe's default, generated html + swfobject.js to show my SWF. In the html, I replaced all flashcontent heights and widths with 100%. Unfortunately, in Chrome when you first open the page the Flash MovieClip doesn't fill the browser and instead retains it's default height and width.
If the user resizes the browser window, everything works fine. Is there a javascript trick or something I can do to make the Flash think it's being resized? I never want scrollbars to appear. I want my application to scale and fill the browser window perfectly -- I want it to get really small if the browser is small and really big if the browser is big. Basically, I want my app to run like a normal Windows app, such as Visual Studio, but in a browser.
I am trying out the following code, so that whenever I make a movieclip null, the array containing it's reference too becomes null. I understand the following code cannot do this, but I want somehow, the array can provide information, if the movieclip has got null.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
var a_arr:Array = new Array(a_Mc,b_Mc);
trace(a_arr);
a_Mc= null ;
trace(a_arr);
Output is:
[object MovieClip],[object MovieClip]
But I want something like null, [object MovieClip ]

View 14 Replieswhat the line of code would be-- where having made several buttons, on rollover, scales their respective image. However, on scaling, these images are arranged according to their layers and would therefore be obscured by text or an adjacent image.How could I make it so that everytime I rollover the hotspot, the image will scale and automatically arrange itself to the front of everything? Is there anything to do with its depth and setting its properties?
