ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicate Nested MCs Not Inheriting
Apr 30, 2005
I have one mc lets call this mc1 with 3 or 4 mcs nested inside of it. Now I have copied and pasted this mc and called it mc2. Now if I change something in any of the mcs inside mc 1, mc2 automatically gets the same changes and vice versa, any way to avoid this? So I can have the mc1 containing something different than mc2.

The code is supposed to receive one system id and then scan around that system in all directions, with each direction having its own length. It is like scanning a rectangle around that system where 9*9 = 81 systems.The code works very well; but the problem. I get 8 duplicate results and there is a complete row missing from the results. The one just above the middle row. I think the problem is in the topsystem integer but I don't know what is wrong with it.[code]if you watch the part of the code that has if statements. this part handle the edges.specially zero and 10k. about what i want to do. think about it like a 9*9 dots field in rectangular shape. has 9 rows and 9 columns. each dot has an id from 1 to 10k. the input is the id of the dot in the center of the field (column 5, row 5). as now i know this centeral dot id. i want to loop through the whole field to find the other dots ids using topsystem(the distance between the centeral dot to the upper edge).downsystem (the distance between central dot to the lower edge). leftsystem (the distance between central dot and left edge).rightsystem (the distance between central dot and right edge).the code is working fine but there is 8 missing ids that replaced by 8 duplicated ids.

I'm sorry if this post breaks forum conventions, but I searched and didn't find a solution in past posts.
I'm writing a function that highlights components of the animation I've created.
It does this by creating a white box on top of the entire stage, tweening it's alpha value from 0 to 80, and creating a new instance of the movie clip to be highlighted on top of that white box.
I run into a problem when I need to highlight components that are movie clips nested within ones on the top/root level.
When I duplicate instances of nested movie clips, they just exist within the movie they were nested in.
I want to pull those duplicated, nested movie clips into the root area so it rests on top of that white box I just mentioned. How do I take a nested movie clip and pull it out of it's parent onto the top/root level?

In regards to as3 project: Is there a way to inherit the properties of a given DisplayObject? I am looking for a single method that will grab something like the x, y, width, height, color, etc. Whatever is involved in the common classes between the two display objects.
Edit:
I don't think I was clear enough... Let me give an example of the type of functionality I am looking for.
var sp1:Sprite = new Sprite();
sp1.x = 30;
sp1.y = 30;
sp1.width = 500;
sp1.height = 30;
var tf1:TextField = new TextField();
tf1.inheritTransform(sp1);
So, in this case I know that the method 'inheritTransform()' doesn't exist, but I am wondering if there is something similar. Or maybe I am missing the point of extending a class in some way? I don't see how the two would relate in such a case.

I'm making a game in action script 3. In it, I have an actor class from which player and enemy classes will be derived. I'm doing this so that unless I need to provide specific AI or fancy behavior (such as for bosses), I can just make a new clip in the library for each enemy without making an actionscript file.
However, I've run into a problem.
Whenever I try to pass arguments to the construction of an enemy (make it spawn with more health), I get error 1136 (Incorrect number of arguments.)
This is because the constructor created automatically at runtime doesn't have the same arguments as it's parent class. Is there any way to get around this without making a class file where I copy and paste the parent constructor function for each of my hundreds of enemies?

I am trying to secure my Flex application within my Java web application. Currently my Java web application, handles logging and managing user accounts and the like. I was wondering if there is a way to essentially share that user credentials with the Flash movie in a secure mechanism? For instance, if you log in, we want you to be able to save items in the Flex application for that user, only if that user is logged in of course. I'm running Tomcat 5.5, Java 6 doing portlet development inside a Vignette Portal. All data communication is via Blaze DS. In our environment, we have data services and the portal handles logins, user management and the like. Currently we are simply passing down the username to the flash movie, which I don't feel is very secure.

This is a question about concept.
I have an XML file, let's call it base:
<base id="default">
<tags>
<tag>tag_one</tag>
[Code]....
But I'm not happy with my solutions. I don't know anything about XSLT or other XML transformation tools, but I think someone must have done this before.
The key goal I'm looking for is ease to write the XML by hand (both the base and the "extended").
I'm open to new solutions besides XML, if they are easy to write manually.

I am working in Flash CS4 with AS3.
I have a TextPage.fla file that contains a dynamic text field (name: PageTitle) as an instance on the stage. In the document class (TextPage) I set the text of PageTitle according to some XML. This all works fine.
I have another fla file, SpecialTextPage.fla, and that also has the PageTitle dynamic text field on the stage.
I now try to have the SpecialTextPage document class inherit from Textpage:
public class SpecialTextPage extends TextPage
{
...
}
but I get a "1120: Access of undefined property PageTitle." error when trying to publish SpecialTextPage. The error location is given as TextPage.as
As a workaround I can just copy the whole TextPage.as file and add in the extra things I need in SpecialTextPage.as but I'd obviously prefer it if I could just extend it.
I got the feeling I am not quite understanding the relationship between flash's objects on the stage and the document class.

I meet a problem when migrate the application for flex 3.5 to flex 4.5. The char style cannot be apply correctly when set the style in application, it still use columnChart default style. But when I move the fx:Style declaration to ColumnchChartModule, the char style works. Could someone help me to explain why the style inheriting is broken? the button style seems working, when I define a button style in application.[code]

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 the details in my flash and swf file, but I'll explain what's happening. If you click on the green "i", it opens a window, you can drag the window by the top bar next to the exit and minimize. But unfortunately, if you close this window and open other (duplicate of MC), you can not move the window like you can on the original. My guess is that the AS does not carry onto the duplicate; I am stuck right here, if I can get this fixed, it will fix a lot of my other animations. I've been trying to search for this on Kirupa, but there are no results
Code:
on (press) {
bn = "window" add n;

I want to duplicate a movie clip within a MC but can't seem to do it. Therefore, I just want the button(MC) to appear on the Gallery MC. It is also being dynamically created but that should not matter.
Some Code:
Code:
duplicateMovieClip ("btn", "btn" + child, child);
setProperty ("btn" + child, _y, 170 + child*20);
setProperty ("btn" + child, _x, 190 + child*0);

I have a welcome page and then 4 pages that can be reached by the main links at the top. In one of my pages, the gallery page where I will display art I have the "graphic" page, which is the link it goes to when gallery link is hit, and also in the "graphic" page there's a link to the "illustration" page along with another link next to it directing back to "graphic". I can get the link to "illustration" from "graphic" but the only way it lets me to get back to "graphic" is by hitting the gallery link at the top. I linked "graphic" from the "illustration" page but I can't get it to work without getting the duplicate error message. I created a separate actions layer corresponding to two galleries pages, 'cause otherwise i would get the "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference". but still stuck at a dead end.[code]
