is there a way to keep the content of a mc (attached content) when I duplicate it? I know that duplicate remembers size, position, rotation etc. But I want to get the attached content too.
[Code]...
// Now I want to duplicate the Container to get a copy of it (Container2_mc) Countainer1_mc.duplicateMovieClip("Container2_mc", 10)
I would like the "box_mc" movieClip to remain on the stage and a duplicate created when clicked on and dragged to a new location on the stage.
Actionscript Code:
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, duplicateBox);var startX:Number;var startY:Number;function duplicateBox(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.parent.addChild(event.target); startX = event.target.x; startY = event.target.y; event.target.startDrag(true);}
is there a way to keep the content of a mc (attached content) when I duplicate it? I know that duplicate remembers size, position, rotation etc. But I want to get the attached content too.
// Example.
Container1_mc.attachMovie("star","obj_1",1);
Container1_mc.attachMovie("stripe","obj_2",2);

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.

If I have an object that calls
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
will that add 2 listeners?
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?
View 6 RepliesHow to find out whether camera is attached or not in AS3.0. It can be installed or not.
I'm trying to set up a proof-of-concept of loading one SWF into another SWF for skinning. The set-up is this: app.fla, which has an attached ActionScript class, AppMain.as skin.fla, which contains UI components AppMain.as will obviously contain all of the application's logic; I then want to be able to affect the UI components contained within the loaded skin file based on instance names defined in that particular skin.
So for example, if I have a TextField with an instance name of myTextField I'd like to be able to set the text property of that text field programmatically in AppMain.as. The exported app.swf to load a skin file based on a flashvar parameter would be loaded into an HTML document that looked like this:

I just moved to AS3 and I learnt how to attach a movieclip.
ActionScript Code:
var attachedMC = new (getDefinitionByName(PageName) as Class)();
holder.addChild(attachedMC);
Where PageName is the string containing the Class of the movieclip in the library and holder is the instance name of the MC to be attached to.
But what instance name do I use to refer to the movieclip that got attached?
In AS2, the code would have gone like this
ActionScript Code:
holder.attachMovie(PageName, "instanceName", 1);
The instance name part of the code seems to be missing in AS3. SO how do I refer the the attached MC or "child"?
I'm in a hurry to finish off this movie and I'm having trouble loading the attached swf into another swf! It loads but then I can't move the man! This is the script in the swf
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("isoRooms.swf", "container");
container._x = 150;
container._y = 20;
How do you address a mc attached to another mc?I have an array of movie clips some of which I have attached additional movie clips to. Now I need to alter scale/alpha etc of those additional movie clips.[code]How do I now manipulate the "ExtraMC" movie clips? I know I can use parent to get at the parent mc but how do I get at the "child" when names are dynamically created as above?

I want the horizontal bar to be attached to the top likeps. the shinny black band in the attached pic is called "topstretch" in the code below.
// ***Stage aligned top left
Stage.align = "TL";

Is it possible to control a MC that is attached to another MC?

I need to put a mask on an action script 2 attached movie clip, is it possible? and if it is, how can I do it?
View 2 RepliesI wasn't sure if I were to put this in the Actionscript forum or in here, so I put it in here. I'm making a small test for a game so I made two attached movieclips to the stage. I got them to move at each other, but when they hit, it doesn't detect it. Is there anyway i can make them hit eachother? Heres the code

I'm creating a highscore list like this:
code: function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
var scoreXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
var playerResult:MovieClip;
[code]....
I have a MovieClip with the linkage name of "playerResult" in the library. For every loop it takes the scores+names from the xml and displays them by creating a new instance of "playerResult" and attaches them one by one under each other.I need to be able to remove this highscore when it's not longer needed, thus (the most important part) freeing up memory. So I can then use the same code to show the scores again without doubling the memory it uses every time.
code: function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
var scoreXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
var playerResult:MovieClip;
[code]....
... so I now have a name for each instance (playerResult0, playerResult1...) but still can't come up with a way to remove them.
The scores are displayed like this:
1 name score
2 name score
etc...

I have a button with a sound attached to it. The button should play the sound when the mouse is in its down state. When I play the sound in the .swf file the sound plays but it's cut off at the end (maybe the last 3 seconds). I'm using mp3 files for the sound. This is happening with many of the buttons in the program. It's a simple operation within the program. The user clicks a button and voice-over is supposed to play.
