ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Movieclip Path With Variables?
Apr 27, 2006
If I want to change a set of movieclips that all have the same name except they end in a different number i.e
movieclip1
movieclip2
movieclip3
whats the correct actionscript to refer to a movieclips path in terms of the name plus a numerical variable i.e
movieclip + var
so I can cycle through each one by altering the variable.
something like
var x = 1;
_root."movieclip" + x.othermovieclip.gotoAndPlay(1);
my attempts don't seem to have worked!

im trying to embed an swf file in facebook. To cut the story short, the swf im trying to embed is loaded fine but stops at preloader stage (0% of 1) and is not progessing as if it has missing link and couldnt locate something (the files struscture is one main swf file; index.swf loads other 5 swf),But, when i tried to load it up directly from browser, it works fine. I have been advised that changing the link path to absolute between the index.swf and 1.swf, 2.swf etc would solve the problem.
My questions will be:
-how do i change this path, because i couldnt seem to find any link that reflects the connection between those files?
-Is there any feature in flash that would be able to show this link rather than diggin up every symbol?
-If changing the path wouldnt solve the problem, what could be the reason this error is happening?.

I can get the videos to play using the flvplauer component, but im having a little trouble figuring out if and how to dynamically change the path of the flvplayer while running through a timeline. If I can do something like mc.changeFLVPath that would be awesome!

I have a Flash-file, which I downloaded at a page. Now I am changing some things and this error is occuring: SecurityError #2000. The Flash-file loads an XML-file and in this XML-file, there are some paths to some picture files. All paths are valid and the pictures exists. When I changed the picture (and path), I get this SecurityError. My next idea was to replace the picture, but the path should be the original. When I did this, I got the old picture, not the new. I downloaded this Flash-file: [URL]

I have a file that has a thumbnail scroller(which is run with a xml file) and a slideshow that when loads has a bunch of images on the scroller and when clicked, opens bigger in the slide show.
what I want to be able to do, is when other buttons outside the scroller are clicked, it loads a new xml file, but I am not sure how to go about doing that.
I have attached my fla file and .as file so you can see what I am working with.

Actually I am the application is for recoeding live stream. The recorded videos are placing in the folder named live_test as specififed above.But I want to change this path. There is a folder named public in the root directory. In the "public" folder we have a folder named Recorded_Videos, I need to place the recorded videos on this folder. How can I do this.Another issue that occurs while recording is NetStream.Record.noAccess. This is occuring while the recorded video is placing on client's flash media server with the path that i specified above. But when i running it in the local flash media server(developer version), its working well. The recorded files are placed on live_test folder. In the client's server the stream is not recording, instead its showing an error like "NetStream.Record.noAccess". The code that I am using for recording live stream is follows:
stop();
var nc = new NetConnection();var CommPage = 'http://68.233.8.57/videos/destination';System.security.allowDomain(CommPage);

A short description of my project:
1) Fetching data from mysql
2) Make x numbers of buttons using duplicateMovieClip. (depends on num_rows from db)
3) Set text in buttons from db with dynamic text.
I'm talking about the buttons on the left side here:[URL].. Here's the code-snippet i experience problems with.
[Code]...
If you look a the code above, button0 <- I want that to be something like: button[a].If I do a trace on trace("button"+a), it works perfectly.(returns button0, button1 ... etc)If I make it a variable, var tmp:String = "button"+a;, it will also give me the same result. But if I try to target a mc with path, example tmp.onRollOver = function(){, it will not work.
- button[a].onRollOver doesnt work.
- "button"+a.onRollOver doesn't work.
How can I integrate that a-variable into my path to the newly created mc's?

I am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.

I am making the following call...
Code:
on (release) {
_root.imopen = "girl1";
_root.girls.imopen.gotoAndPlay("in");
}
And it's not working, it should, of course, be calling
_root.girls.girl1.gotoAndPlay("in");
How to incorporate the variable "imopen" into the path.

I have a quick question about using an XML file to contain the path to something I want to load in Flash. Right now, I have:
this.loadMovie("Images/1.jpg");
I'd like for the word "Images/" to be read from the XML file and I was wondering how I would go about loading the variable that contains "Images/" into the path line in Flash.

I have a piece I'm working on that loads some copy to the front page. Then when you mouse over the navigation it plays the 2nd half of the MC that makes the copy fade. One of the navigation buttons works to bring the copy to fade back in by playing the first half of the MC.I'm declaring a boolean variable "intro" and setting it to true on load because the copy is visible.Then within my MC at the end (when the copy is done fading out) I set "intro" to false.Then if the user mouses over the nav it runs an "if" and if the intro is true it fades it out, and if its not it shouldn't do anything (stay invisible).The problem is it keeps playing the MC - so you mouse over the nav and it fades out, then you mouse over the nav again and it fades back in, then you mouse over the nav and it fades out again.

I borrowed a code to give my stage a falling snow effect, and I added on/off buttons. I'm sure there's another way around what I'm trying to do but I'm curious about going about this way. the variable in the code contains:var snowflakesCnt:Number = 180;I added EventListeners for the buttons but don' know the way about changing the variable to 0 and180 upon mouse click.

I'm trying to create a global variable that initially stores a 0.Then via a function will change the value of that global variable, and allow the other functions to access the new number. I have it working where it adds 1 to the variable, and stores the number 1 however, I cannot get the number to add up beyond 1.I have this in my first layer,frame.
_global.thisSound = 0;

OK this might take a wile to explain but ill give it a go. I'm trying to make a sort f upgrade menu for my Flash game (AS2) but I'm a bit stuck. Ok my char has got this action script on it.
onClipEvent(load){
_global.speed = 1
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
[Code]....
That all works fine but what i want to do is make it that when you click a button the var speed will change. I can do that quite easily with this code
on(press){
_global.speed += 1
}
and that works fine two but what i want to do is have the button for upgrading the speed on a different frame (ie. the upgrade menu)
So on frame 1 is the moving char and there is a button linking frame 1 to frame 2 (upgrade menu) and on that frame it has the button for upgrading the var speed and then a button linking frame 2 back to one but it doesn't work. I think i no why because on the char is says onClipEvent(load){ _global.speed = 1 }
so that means that the var speed will revert back to 1 when you go back to the first frame.

My .txt file is called my_text.txt
Inside I have:
myText1=This is test 1.
&myText2=This is test 2.
I tested it out with my dynamic text. If I made the variable myText1, it loaded the first line. If I made it myText2, it loaded the second line. All seemed to be fine.
I have a dynamic textbox, variable named names. I want to be able to change the variable in order to get it to load whichever line of text I want.
I tried:
names = myText1;
loadVariablesNum ("my_text.txt", 0);
But that's not working. I've tried playing around with it in various ways, like
names = eval(myText1);
and such, but nothing is effectively getting it to change. I've been trying to look it up and tried all the different ways people told other people to use, but it's not working for me.
Once I get this work I everything should fall into place easily.

I want to change variables on the main stage's code from within a movie clip.
Say for example, I want to change a variable called 'chair'
In AS2, this is how I would do it:
(on the main stage)
Code:
chair = 2;
(in the movie clip)

But all I get is a 1119 error saying 'Access of possibly undefined property chair through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.'

The problem which i have is about using variables (specifically "myVar") defined in one as3 class file, in a separate class file. After searching for this via google and on this forum i have not (maybe because i have been searching for the wrong thing), so here is my situation which i think should be simple to solve:Inside a fla called "Main" i have 2 MovieClips. The first is called Main and has a class linking to the com/Main.as file which has this code:

I have a simple Actionscript 3 project. The code is on the timeline:
ActionScript Code:
import pti.dmutility.layout.ConfigElement;
//this Class simply extends the fl.controls.Button with variables
Then I put some instances into the stage, and make them Drag&Drop. Here is the Dragging function. I want to remember the item's puck up position when clicked, I use ConfigElement's OldX and OldY properties:
ActionScript Code:
function dragStarterItem(e:MouseEvent):void{
var item = e.target;
item.OldX = item.x;
item.OldY = item.y;
item.startDrag();
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStopperItem);
}
When I click on the item, the OldX and OldY gets the actual position of the item, BUT after dropping it somewhere else, and picking up it again, the OldX and OldY is still the same! Holds the initial position, and not changing to it's new location coordinates. Every instance remembers it's initial position only. Why not change every time I click? Why remembering the first click's position only?

My problem is the following:I've been working with Flash CS4, and have written a script which creates a dynamic menu based on an array variable. The array variable needs to be located in a separate .as file so that I can use a bash script to create the array on the fly, based on files found in a specific folder. It's taken me weeks of writing both the bash and actionscript to make everything work smoothly. Everything works except for one small thing: when I update the file containing the array, the menu in the .swf fails to update with it. In order to update the menu, I'm forced to re-publish from within Flash itself.
Previously I had used the "include" function to place the array within my script, but I then tried bringing it in with a package as a global variable. Neither method worked. It seems that the file is included during the publishing (that's probably common knowledge). So I'm wondering if there's a way to include the array, or build the array, in such a way that will allow the .swf to update with a simple refresh of the web page.
ActionScript Code:
Package containing array:
package {

In the following code I would like to be able to change which object the code affects depending on which parameter name is passed to it:
Code:
EventCentral.getInstance().addEventListener(ProjectEvent.SOME_EVENT, handleSomeEvent);
function handleSomeEvent($event:ProjectEvent):void
[Code].....
I could write it all out with ifs and else ifs for each parameter but this code is already part of quite a large structure and it would be more elegant to be able to do it with re-usable code.
I'm trying to do it is particularly idiomatic to actionscript anyway

I have an array filled with several pre-existing variables. I want to loop through this array and update each of these variables that way, so that I don't have to do it line by line. My issue is that when I edit the variable inside the array, it is not changing the actual variable that was assigned to it. See Below for example.
Actionscript Code:
var myVar1:uint = 1;
var myVar2:uint = 2;var myVar3:uint = 3;
var myArr:Array = new Array(myVar1, myVar2, myVar3);
for(var a:uint = 0; a<myArr.length; a++){
if(a == 0){ myArr[a] = 9;
}}trace(myVar1); // Still traces "1" instead of "9"

I'm working on a particle system, where each single particle is represented by a movie clip and has it's own behaviors, defined in the movie clip's code in a separate layer from the image. The particle creates local variables, such as it's gravity and color, in the first frame and then uses them to guide it's actions throughout it's lifetime (it fizzles out and dies, eventually).Frame 1 of particle_mc:
Code:
var gravity:Number = 0;

I am at work right now trying to create a power point for our Christmas party. I know I can do so much more with Flash than I can with any other power point program. Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to load a list of names into one dynamic text field that changes at certain time intervals. I'm using ActionScript 2 right now b/c I haven't learned 3, yet. Is there a way for Flash to access a word document and load a name say, every minute? I know I could add a different variable name in front of each employee name, like content, content1, content2, but I have a list of like 300 names here. That would take up almost as much time as it would creating a slide for each name in Power Point.

I have a question regarding ActionScript 3.0 and using buttons to change numeric values in a Flash project. I am trying to create a program that adds and subtracts numbers when buttons are clicked. Here is the code that I have written for the first button that I want to use:
Code:
//Number values//
var withdraw = 0;
Amount_total.text = withdraw;
[Code]....
However the problem I have is that the K200disp text only displays 1,2,5,10,15 etc while the Amount_total text seems to randomly display 200 or lots of 0s!
