ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating An Instance / Duplicate Of The Complex Objects?
Jan 22, 2009
have a imageHolder_mc wich is calling the image from the local drive / server, and this container is inside of PictureHold_mc and that inside of Image01_btn.image01_btn.pictureHold_mc.imageHold01_mcand all this for 1 image tobe displayed in the website. But I am going to have something like 300. This is for example HomePage to ProductPage to SpecificIndividualProduct.I have created an instance but DO I NEED TO DUPLICATE ALL _btn and _mc all the way down? Or is there any better ways.And next question. I have done Home Page with 18 images called from the local drive but despite of Preloader showing 100% loaded page look empty for about 30 sec. and suddenly all images starts popping out ramdomly.

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

In our app, we create complex nested movieclip with code. Essentially, we use lots of loadbytes and addchild to create these complex movieclips. Sometimes, we need to duplicate one of these complex movieclip hundreds of times to create hundreds of instances of it.Currently, we perform the "duplication" by re-creating the complex movieclips from scratch with loadbytes and such. However, this is proving to be very slow.What would be a quicker way to "duplicate" or "clone" a complex movieclip?Is there a way to serialize a complex mc into a bytearray and the resurrect it as a new object with a single loadbytes?

Is there a way I can pass complex objects like sprites or timers through LocalConnection? It seems like you can naively pass simple objects like String, Number, Array thru the LocalConnection. But I can't seem to send other data types.I read that you have to use the method "registerClassAlias()" within the receiving SWF file before that SWF file can accept complex objects. For example, when I attempt to send instances of Sprites or Timers, I get the following error:
"Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:.text=Error #2095:flash.net.LocalConnection was unable to invoke callback sendState.error=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@b9210b1 to flash.utils.Timer."
How can I send complex data types or are some data types not send-able?

Is it possible to pass native JavaScript objects such as arrays and hash-map-like objects to Flash Player with SWFObject?
I basically need to pass an array of objects to Flash from JavaScript in the Flash variables, so this is my code:
[Code]....
When I get the object in Flex, I simply get a String that looks like this: "[Object object], [Object object]" which leads me to believe that my array is being serialized into a String before entering Flash. Is there any known workaround?
And yes, I do need to pass Flash variables in this manner, since they'll key off some loading which is necessary to do before the application starts.

I have been trying to fix my collision handling for hours now, but it seems like I am running in circles. To be blunt, my collision handling sucks. It is easy to break, and hardly works on complex objects(like water in my case, see the test at megaswf . com / serve / 1577272)
For collision detection I am using the collision detection kit, or CDK.My level is made up of different large MCs, such as a "wall" MC containing all of the smaller walls, such as water, a tree, or a wall. CDK allows me to hittest the single walls by hittesting the large one, and not each one individually, making it easier for myself.My code has a lot of repetition(8 directional movement), so I will put a "//..." to simplify.
Main.as:
ActionScript Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip[code]......
I have literally been working on this all day, and only feel like I'm making it worse every time I change something. You don't have to spoon-feed me code, the idea should be enough...

Are there any libraries for animation groups of objects in as3? I need something like this: for example, I specify an array of images and creates the animation of all objects in the array - fireworks, the spiral vortex, 3D rotation, undulating, etc. Tweenlite and other libraries not fit, because there is no pattern complex motion.
I need to quickly apply complex animation paths to the set of objects.

I have a movie clip, that has various codes attached to it to snap to areas of the screen. If I apply the duplicate movie clip command to this, the second instance will have a new name right? so how can I change the code that addressed the original movie clip to relate to the new instance with the new name?

I haven't seen much to explanation of this in any Flash documentation,but maybe someone knows more about this. Initially I was trying tofix a buggy application. The app is fixed now, but I'm still curious.I have an app that defines some object instances (buttons and movie clips)in various frames and on various levels of a timeline. For any object thatneeds to be manipulated by AS, I give it an instance name. However, there's no safeguard against giving several instances the samename. So, I experimented with giving two buttons, on differentlayers and different frames, the same instance name ("playbtn"). Then I defined an event handler:
playbtn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

I am trying to get up to speed on AS3.
I am trying to dynamically create a number of click buttons based on the content of an XML file.
So I have a MC (window_mc) which contains a single button (more_details_btn). I add an event listener to send the user to a web page on click.
However. On some items I need more than 1 more_details_btn's. What is the best way to duplicate this MC and assign a new click event and different text.
Below is the code I am currently using and it is causing me all sorts of problems
Code:
for each(var detail:XML in productXML.details) {
var btn = new more_btn_cls();
btn.label_txt.text = detail.@name;
[code]...
Firstly, it wont assign btn.label.text - it says it "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" btn in this code traces as an object not a movieclip is that why?
The other problem is that window_mc.addChild(btn); does nothing, yet if I take away window_mc it does add the clips to the Stage. (I need them inside window_mc though)

Ive made a FLA that has 360 frames.. on each frame there are 5 instances of a movie clip, each of which ive had to painstakingly position and adjust the perspective of with the 3d tool to make them look like they rotate with the clip. Each of the 5 instances on the stage have different instance names (screen1_mc - screen5_mc).My problem is, after all that frame by frame positioning, ive gone to render out the SWF and its telling me that there are "Multiple 3D objects on the same frame have the same instance name. 3D instance names must be unique. All but one of the instances will be renamed during export."
Soo frustrating. I must have either hit ctrl+v twice on one of my frames or perhaps not renamed the instance after pasting it.. but i cant figure out which frame the problem is happening on. Im really hesitant to have to go through all 360 frames clicking on all 5 of the instances to see which frame is causing the issue.Can anyone think of a programmatical way to figure out which frame has the duplicate instance on it?I was thinking about using an enter frame event to loop through tracing out the frame number, then somehow trace out the instance names and the number of instances of screen_mc that appear on each frame to see which frame has the instance thats been automatically renamed by flash?

duplicate the dynamic objects and have a little problem. It looks like this: Flash retrieves data from sql, PHP returns the result to me in the form: $name1=some text $name2=some text $name3=some text $count=3 Flash creates elements very nicely but I do not have no idea what type of code place in script (in the place marked by ?)to put text to those MC.
Script look like this:
ile = parseInt(count);
for (i=1; i<ile; i++) {
threadCanvas.attachMovie("border", "post" add i, i);

I am going to have an XML doc with some "recent news" items in it.I am going to load that XML within Flash and create content within the swf based off that information.At the bottom of the Flash doc, I am going to have buttons to allow the user to loop through the different items manually.
I want to build these buttons on the fly, based on the number of items in my XML.What I thought would be a good first step was to make a MediaClip that contains the button for navigating the separate news items.I have created that and it works well enough. Using the following code, I'm able to generate one of these buttons and place it on the screen:
var ni1 = new newsItemButton();
ni1.x = 0ni1.y = 100;ni1.buttonText.text = "Testing";addChild(ni1);
What's not working is that line that is trying to set the text within the button.The heirarchy of this Component is MediaClip > Button > Textbox. The Instance name of that text box is "buttonText" and the code I posted does not produce an error but it also doesn't change the text within that Text box.

Is there a way to duplicate objects, like lines across the screen quickly without using AS3 at a fixed distance apart? I tried using Ctrl+D but it has a distance for 7 pxl apart. I want to change that to 1 pixel. Is there a way to change this setting or a tool in flash IDE to perform duplicating quickly?

This doesn't work at all.[code]...
but adding "removeDuplicates(aPeople);" after "createfile(thename);" has no effect: in other words, when I push the savefile button, it keeps creating clones of the same objects. What can I do?

I am planning to create Dynamic Boxes, in which may contain buttons, pictures and textboxes in the box. but I'd really want to know are
When a duplicated Movieclip was clicked, I want it to return a value so which I can know what Movieclip was clicked.
How do I manage them in one duplicated movieclip? for example, A duplicated box, and then in that box is an image, textbox and a button MOVIECLIPS, so when dragged, they can be dragged also.

I'm supposed to create something like this:1. Create 4 coat of arms (Shields2. Pour colour onto different segments of the shields3. Click and drag objects onto the shield4. PrintMy problems lies in step 3. How do I actually create multiple copies of the same object that I clicked and dragged? At the same time, I also want the original copy to stay in position so I will only need to click and drag on the original copy to create the duplicates.I got the code from the net (I'm no pro in this). What I did was, convert the object into a button, then into a movie clip. Double-clicked the movie clip, I inserted the following code on the movie clip:
on(press) {
duplicate(this)
}

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

I have the following code:
var page1:Branch = new Branch();
page1.y = 124;
addChild(page1);
I want to have the value "page1" to be dynamic, along with "Branch". Since there's a number of templates (up to 20), Branch is one of the templates. So it would be nice to use one instance creator. Also, I'm not sure how to get "page1" to be a dynamic value.
The closest to this that I've been able to find is:
star1sp.addChild(this["star"+star1Num]);
except that it doesn't fully address what I want to do. I tried adding in a bunch of "this[load_page]" and "this["page"+curpage]" to my code but had no success. I'm still on the prowl for the answer but wanted to put this out there. It's something I've tried to figure out for some time.

I'm currently working on a little practice .fla file I've been working on. What I have now is an altered version a 'game' I made recently. I wanted to see if it was possible to create a new instance and color by having the user drag the object into the black (target) area. In short I want the user to drag one of my shapes (movieclips) and while keeping the original shape in place, move the copy version into the target and have the copy change to a different random color. Attached is a copy of my file.
Here is code I have thus far, I have tried a few options but they seem to throw off my application.
var counter:Number = 0;
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveObject);
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,releas eObject);
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,move Object);
[Code].....
