ActionScript 2.0 :: Bunch Of MovieClips - Sharing One Mask Dynamically
Feb 3, 2005
I'm trying to dynamically generate a menu for a site. I have one movieclip that I duplicate and I want all those duplicates to share a mask.
Code:
for (i=0; i < 5; i++) {
_root.menuitem.duplicateMovieClip("menuitem"+i, i);
_root["menuitem"+i]._y = menuYpos;
menuYpos += 35;
_root["menuitem"+i].setMask(myMask);
}
This causes only the first menuitem to use the mask. After some searching i found that i should combine all these generated movieclips into one container movieclip and ultimately mask that container with myMask. I tried some createEmptyMovieClip, attachMovie & setMask combo's but it doesnt seem to work.

I'm trying to apply a ChangeDepths() to a bunch movieclips that I've nested inside a main movieclip which I'm using as a mask. The ChangeDepths() function worked fine when the clips were not nested, but after I placed them in a new movieclip, I get this error:

I have two MovieClip symbols in my library and I want them to share the same class, but Flash doesn't allow me to assign the same class to any two different MC symbols, so instead I created two bogus classes which extend the class I wished to share initially.
So having two MC symbols defined by 2 different classes extending a different class allows me to share the same piece of code.
My Question: is there a better was to share a class between 2 or more different library symbols?

I am making a thing where a bunch of square shaped movie clips will be placed on the desktop, and will be draggable. I was wondering if there was a way to get them to stick together... similar to the snap to objects tool. Like say I am dragging one and I want to make a large square out of the smaller squares. I want them to snap together...

I using this array to create rollover and rollout events for a bunch of movie clips, I only have one on my stage at the moment during testing. When I rollover and out I see the trace but no animation, if I change event.target for the movie clips instance name it works so its obviously something to do with how I am referencing the clips. These clips are just on the stage not within another movie clip.
Code:
//Button Actions
var buttonArray:Array =
[ whatIs_mc, ];
function initSite():void {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++) {

I have a loop which creates a bunch of movieclips and sets them on the stage.As I create each one I attatch an eventListener to it.My problem is that when the eventListener fires, the function it calls always works on the first mc added to the stage, not the one that fired the listener.How do I fix this?Here's a bit of the code:
Code: Select allfor (var i:int=0;i<numOfItems;i++) {
item = new Item();
//etc etc[code].....

Is there a way to use the same movieclip as a mask for 2 other movieclips??
Like this:
shadow1.setMask(shadowMask)
shadow2.setMask(shadowMask)
Ofcourse applying the above directly, will only apply the mask to shadow2. Is there a way to get around this, to have the mask for both movieclips, without duplicating the mask movieclip??

I have two MovieClips onscreen, and I want to apply the same mask to both. I set the the masks using
mc1.mask = mymask;
mc2.mask = mymask;
Only mc2 receives the mask. How can I set the same mask for two different MovieClips without having to resort to putting them both in a single MovieClip?

This was something I looked at a while back but couldn't figure it out. Now returning to give it another go.Basically I want to find out how to check if a movieclip is visible under a mask.I've got a row of thumbs in a movieclip under a mask. Some are out with the the masked area so I've got some script to make the movieclip scroll the other thumbs into view of the masked area. Is there any code I can apply to the thumbs to check if they are in or not in view of the masked area?

I'm trying to build a simple mask with 2 children mcs. The masking is almost working, but the two children only mask where they don't overlap. I've tried using a mask layer and using code, and it's the same effect either way.
Below is the code:
import caurina.transitions.*
sticker.mask = noteMask_mc;
Tweener.addTween(noteMask_mc.mask_1, {y:-540, scaleX:2.5, scaleY:2.5, time:10, transition:"easeIn"});
Tweener.addTween(noteMask_mc.mask_2, {x:255, scaleX:2.5, scaleY:2.5, time:10, transition:"easeIn"});

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.

What I want to achieve is this. I want a picture of a car that is dry as the background. On top of that a picture of the same car, but wet. I then want an image of a chamois that the user can click on and use to "remove" the water off the car, by "erasing" the picture off the top layer. Is this something that is achieveable.[code]...

How do you turn a dinamically attached MC into a mask? I know it works if I actually draw the mask with AS, but is it possible using a library MC (animated)?.

I have created a custom 3d wall gallery and I would like to mask it to give it right and left fades. I have posted the code that places the images on the stage but for the life of me I cannot mask it. Themc in the library mask_mc already has the correct gradient so now how do I add it to the top of the dynamic gallery?
Code:
private function viewCarousel():void {
viewport = new Viewport3D(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight, false, true);
addChild(viewport);[code]......

I'm back and having trouble masking a dynamically loaded image. For some reason I see both the mask and the image...
Here's my code:
Code:

container.loadMovie("myImage.jpg");
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

In my .fla file, I have a mask that masks one layer that has one movie clip in my .fla file. When I run the file, all symbols that are added at runtime are masked as well. Is there a way to initially mask one symbol on the stage and have all dynamically added symbols not masked? I tried setting the dynamically added symbols like so:
example.mask=null;
But this did not work.

I have Flash CS4 and I'm developing an RPG game. My goal is to dynamically change the weapon/armor the main hero has on according to what the player has on. I think the term is paper dolling. Basically I want to be able to set a point in which a graphic (movie clip/w.e) can be place permanently and I can load images to it via actionscript 3. I want the point to stay on the hero becuase I plan to move him and animate him and I want to be able to have it so that all it takes is me loading an image to the hero so it will basically "mask" over him. Hope you guys understand what I'm saying, I'm having a hard time figuring this out.

You know when you "liquify" something in Photoshop, and then you have all these different options to push parts of the picture around. Is there any way to make a region that will basically "re-liquify" every frame, no matter what is underneath of it?
Do I need to clarify myself?

I need to work in as2 and I would like to add a blank movieclip to the stage, then the user can draw in it, but but only within certain confines. So I tried to set a mask but its just not working. :-(
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("draw_mc", 1);
_root.attachMovie("mask_mc", "instance1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
draw_mc.setMask(instance1);

I've been trying to dynamically change some text for a titlebar that is behind a mask However, I find that when I change the text of the dynamic text field (whose containing movieclip is masked by a graphic), the text no longer appears at all. When i remove the masking, the text changes properly when asked, but when it it masked, the text does not show at all.

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)
