Sep 26, 2009I'm trying to dynamicly create movieclips that I can drag and drop. Here's what I'm trying to reproduce dynamically: (I placed 2 movieclips on my stage and named them mandible_mc and vertibral_mc)
mandible_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);mandible_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);vertibral_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);vertibral_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
Here's what's happening:
Unless I have actually placed two movieclips on the stage and named them mandible_mc and vertibral_mc, I get an error. If I DO have those to movieclips on the stage, I get no error and I get my instances of "name_box". But, I can't drag them. I CAN drag and drop instances of mandible_mc and vertibral_mc so I know the addEventListener and buttonMode "thingys" are being created.
ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClips - Dynamic Naming Links To Variable
Jul 26, 2009I am doing the following
Code:
Select allvar a:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(a);
Now what I want to do is I want to create six more mc i.e., a2,a3,a4,a5,a6. I want to accomplish this using loop like this:
Code: Select allvar i:Number = 0;
while(i < 6){
var a:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(a);
}
So with above method how can I give different names link above to var a? Then I am using all of these var as following:
Code:
Select allvar cube:Cube = new Cube(new MaterialsList({
front:a , left:a2, right:a3, top:a4, bottom:a5, back:a6}),200, 200, 200,10, 10, 10);
scene.addChild(cube);
How can I use those dynamic name here?
AS3 :: IDE - Dynamically Naming Movieclips?
Sep 23, 2009Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Naming/referring To Movieclips?
Feb 15, 2010I am going to have a button that when you click on it it creates a movieclip and adds a certain child to it (In this case, its linkage is set as "Rifle"). Each time you click on the button I need to give the new movieclip a different instance name then the last, such as "Riflemen1", "RifleMen2" etc.. I will need to be able to refer to each movieclip seperatly in my code, such as for example:
You spawn three Riflemen.. You click on one of them, which selects it, you then click on an "Attack" button which makes only him start firing (in my case gotoAndStop(2)), you then decide you want the third one to attack and so forth..

Dec 22, 2008I am just getting started with AS3 and have run into a problem. I had a way of attaching movieClips from the library to the stage in AS2 that used the old attachMovie() function where I would run a for loop and it would duplicate the moviclip to the stage and dynamically create new names for the new instances.I now am using this:

addChild(myCube);
Then, I can access the myCube instance's properties like this:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : Dynamic Instance Naming Of MC's?
Jun 5, 2009I have 4 Mc's on the stage, and they have instance names 'mc1' - 'mc2' etc.The MC's have links in them (they are kind'a navigation items) and i need to change the functions of the 'rollOver, and mouseDown events', but keep the MC's the same.The MC's are referenced by instance name and given functions in the first few frames of he movie. for example
---------------
mc_1_0.onRollOver = function() {
if (_root.mc_1_0._currentFrame == 1) {
[code]...
Now, what i want achieve is to change the instance names of the MC's (mc_1_0 for example) so that when the user interacts with this MC on the stage, they are taken to locations of my choice (and the actions of another MC), by switching the instance names. IE, i want to change the instance name of 'mc_1_0' to 'mc_2_0' at runtime, BUT i want to do it with a variable from a .txt file.i would need to start with a script that looks for the MC with a certain instance name
-- look for instance mc_1_0, and then change the instance name to 'mc_2_0'
The effect would be that the user would instigate the same actions, regardless of which of the two MC's they rolled over.Maybe i could call the instances initially 'MC_1_Temp' and 'MC_2_Temp' etc: and then i would need a script to change them to 'mc_1_0' and 'mc_2_0' at runtime.SO in the text file i would need something like this
--------------------------
&MC_1_Temp_name=mc_1_0&
--------------------------
this way the behaviour of the MC on the stage wil take on the functions of another MC.should i be looking at something like this placed on the MC.....
onClipEvent(load){
//make this instance called - var = MC_1_Temp_name
}

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Field Naming And Assignments?
Sep 22, 2008Probably a lack of knowledge on my part (no, definitely...), but how do I go about loading dynamic text fields from an array, using dynamic variable naming?
for(j=0; j<count; j++){
this["contacts_mc.nameText"+j+".text"] = inputArray[j][0];
}
"nameText0", "nameText1", etc are the instance names of dynamic text fields in the contacts_mc movie clip, which is on the root level of my timeline.I get no return at all when tracing the target dynamic text field as trace(contacts_mc.nameText1.text), for example. Dynamic naming examples I've come across don't seem to work here - perhaps a difference in how dynamic text fields are assigned?
Array's And MovieClips - Use The Naming Conventions Of An Array?
Nov 18, 2009I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:
var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting A Listener To Distribute To Instances Individually
Jun 23, 2010I'm trying to instance a button that I've made in a for loop. Everything else works, but I'm having a problem with mousing over and out. I was intending to make it so that each label would respond to its own instanced listener, but instead only the last label is responding to the listener. So, no matter which button I mouse over, only the last button's label animates. It seems like something that's simple, so I'm going to continue trying to work with this.
Here's the loop:

{
var menuBtn:MenuButton = new MenuButton();
var MenuTextContents_mc:MenuText = new MenuText();

IDE :: Copying Complex Buttons, Then Modifying Them Individually?
Feb 4, 2009I've made a pretty complex button thats actually a drop down menu. So when you mouse over the button, it opens the drop down menu, but the actual button is also clickable. The problem comes in when I copy the button like 4 times. I can make the main button go to different links, but everything inside the button,i.e. the drop down links, changes across all copies whenever I modify one. How do I go about making each button a different separate button so that I can modify each one individually?
