ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicate MC In Different Location?
Nov 4, 2009
I am trying to duplicate a movie clip several times (to create a wallpaper from a background tile). However I'm running all code from the first frame of the file on the _root level, but the MC I am targeting is nested deeper. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I just cannot get the duplicated MCs to stay at the same location is the MC I am cloning!
The clip I want to clone is _root.core.bg.tile I want the duplicates to reside in _root.core.bg with names such as...
_root.core.bg.tile_2
_root.core.bg.tile_3 etc
Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
function preloader()
{
loadImage(global_path + "assets/images/website/construct/wood-texture.png",
[Code].....

I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I am having problems dupliating a movie clip. I can make a duplicate from an original but when I edit the duplicate it also modifies what is in the original. (I am just changing the text, thats the only difference between the 2) How come it effects both clips when I only change one?

I have a series of swfs that I've connected via loadmovie. This works well with I press the NEXT button, but not the PREVIOUS button. The PREVIOUS button starts at the beginning of the called movie. I need it to start at a specific location. Is that doable? If yes, how? I tried adding the gotoandplay after the call to the swf, but no luck.

How do you change this code so that it works when the swf timeline its on, is loaded into a movieclip on a main swf stage (_root.loadarea)It works fine on its own but dont when loaded into the loadarea mc.
Code:
var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = "http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/code/flash.css";
var quick = "<br><p class='one'>The quick Kirupa jumps over the lazy dog.</p>[code]..........

I have a flash file that calls a XML file to give it commands, such as color etc...
I want to change the name of the XML file, but am not sure how to change it in flash so that the SWF knows where to find the XML.

I have been working with xml sheets to load a menu and in order to load a submenu or to go to a submenu of a submenu, I was wondering if it is possible to load a variable location for an xml.
For example, if I had the variable xmllocation which was a string that said where in an xml a certain menu was, is it possible to use the xmllocation variable for something like this:
( if xml.xmllocation.length() > 0 ) do something;
whenever I tried messing around with it, it would actually go to look for "xmllocation" in the xml instead of check what the string is. So what I guess I am really asking is, is there a way to tell it not to be so literal?

I know the basics of tweening with action script but I have a picture set in the center of the stage at x = 50. On a click I would like that picture move - 10 x from that position so it will end the tween at 40. On a different button I would like to do the oppositie, + 10 x to its current position so if it was at 40 it would be back to the start and if it was at the start it would be at 60.

I am having a problem with finding the current URL displayed in the browser.
I have tried..
1. this.loaderInfo.loaderURL.toString()
2. var local:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
local.domain
Above two methods returns url of swf location but my requirement is bit different
Finally I have used. ExternalInterface.call('window.location.href.toStr ing');
but ExternalInterface.call('window.location.href.toStr ing'); will not work where JavaScript is disabled hence I would like to know if there are any possible way or hack to do this.

I posted this question a few days ago but didn't get a response, so I think perhaps I put it in too specific a context. I thought I'd try again and couch the question in more general terms this time. Unfortunately I can't move on with my work until I get this issue solved!
What I need to do is find a way to see if there is a MovieClip at a particular spot. So, say I have a random point and a bunch of random MovieClips. At this random point, there may be any of the MovieClips or there may not. I won't know what these are in advance. I need the ActionScript to tell me if there is ANY MovieClip at this random spot - and, if there is, what MovieClip it is.

I have most of the basics down in actionscripting. I want to learn a little bit more on if else statements. I have an issue right now that I am pretty sure needs to use the if else statement.
What I have is an FLV playing in a browser. When that FLV is done playing, I want it to getURL to a different location. So basically when the FLV is done it goes to the next HTML page.
I attempted and got this far :
[AS]
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

I need to use a variable name in a location, for example:
aS_mc.aScreen_mc.aScroller_mc.a1.gotoAndStop(_global.aPicture);
The a1 is what I want to change, I've got a global variable that changes to a1, a2, a3, etc, on another function The global variable I'm using is _global.aChoice
So, I've been looking around, and the only thing I found that I thought my work is
aS_mc.aScreen_mc.aScroller_mc._global[a1].gotoAndStop(_global.aPicture);
But this didn't work either

I had the core of my site down for me, I believe in Flash 8 using AS2. I took over the site and attempted to learn everything that they did, so I could update it myself. The one thing that I can't figure out... is where they put the customized scrollbars they made for my site. There are some scrollPane components in the library, but I can't see where he put the custom scrollbars. The homepage link is here:The blue scrollbars are what I'm trying to find. When I add more content I want to be able to use the same scrollbars. If you need the FLA, I'll send it to you. I am pretty sure there is some default location that they're stored in though, and I'm just not seeing it

I installed the update to Flash 8 that allows for remotedebugging, and I had it all set up and working over the past weekor two. But, all of a sudden it's not working for me anymore.I wasable to access it by right clicking my movie from within thebrowser and selecting "Debugger", but for some reason the optionisn't available anymore. I've rechecked my settings according tothe livedocs, and ensured the swd file is in the same dir as theswf, but no dice.

I am working on a site which uses a flash menu I was handed. The flash menu uses an xml file to generate, it works fine as long as one stays at the top-level dir of the site, say [URL]. When someone enters a page, say [URL] the menu stops working, being unable to read the xml which is hardcoded to be in the same directory as the page it's called from (menu.xml is in /).
I must say that the locations visible to the browser are not real, everything non-top level in [URL] is just mod-rewrite, thus none of the directories test or page really exist. I can see the reason why flash looks in the same directory as the one the client requested for the file (instead of looking at the same dir locally in example).
So the two solutions I thought of:
1. Is there a file_exists function i could use to make the flash recurse upper-level directories until the menu finds the xml file? as in:
var menufile = menu.xml
while (!file_exists(menu.xml)) {
menufile = '../' + menufile
}
Obviously this is not real code
2. Is there a way to open the xml from a web location and not from a static path relative to the swf itself?
