ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating MovieClip - Setting X (Variable) Value
Feb 27, 2006
I have an MovieClip star with a setup var X which is set to 0 for the thing I'm duplicating, namely star
===Star======
onClipEvent(load){
x=0;
}
If I duplicate the clip a bunch of times so I have Star0....N. Is there a way to set the x value here to the i value of the loop for each object duplicated. Such that star0 will have its x=0, star2 has its x=1 and so on.
setProperty wont do it or _root["star"].x=i;
I am struggling trying to get this variable set. I want to set a variable number to be the frame number of a movieclip. this is what i am trying with no luck: var fn:Number = movie_name._currentframe(); trace(fn); I have looked at different online examples but cant find an example like this one.
I'm basically trying to reference a number of preexisting movieclips on the stage through a for loop, give it a variable and assign and action. So, where in AS 2.0, I would have gone:
ActionScript Code: for (var i:Number=1;i<=4;i++){ var refMC:MovieClip=this["myMC"+i];
Flash 8 duplicating movie clips and setting 3 nodes from XML. I am trying to read in an xml with 3 parameters; 2 links and one text field for a caption. What am I doing wrong this time?
[Code]...
I am trying to have "bMC" load into and repeater for however many XML props there are. within "bMC" are two MC's that on click would open window or grab file and One Text field which would load in caption. For some reason the "bMC" isnt even loading at all. Attached is the .Fla
I'm trying to duplicate a movie clip when a variable reaches a certain number.. this is the code I used... if (numBlts<300) { _root.power = 1; _root.p += 1; duplicateMovieClip(_root.plus, "plus"+p, p); } The problem is that I just want to duplicate it once everytime numBlts gets below 300. After numBlts increases above 300 and then goes below 300 I want the clip to duplicate. All its doing now is duplicating infinite times...
Here's the deal... I built a dynamic image gallery that runs hoizontally, and the idea is tu duplicate it and, when it reaches a certain point, use it's duplicate, so that there's the illussion of a "never ending" gallery.The problem is that, when duplicating the movieclip, it appears empty, even though I duplicate it after having loaded every picture.
I've developed a resource with drag and drop movieclips within a presentation.There are a huge number of drag and drop clips, so I've added a bit of swapDepth code so that the chosen movieclip is always in view. The problem now is that when I go to the next page (which contains a different drag and drop activity), a movieclip from the previous page is duplicated. Is there any solution to this? I've tried an onenterframe unload for the next page, but obviously this deletes the MC permanently making it fairly useless.
I'm trying to do something that I thought would be quite easy, but now I'm beginning to wonder. The broad description is that I'm trying to load an external .swf into a parent movieclip. (This item must be loaded externally, and can't reside in a library.) Once loaded, I then want to duplicate, resize and rotate the movieclip multiple times.
The problem is that the duplicateMovieClip function doesn't seem to allow me to duplicate my loaded clip, nor does it allow me to place a duplicated item into a parent item (other that at the _root level).
I am duplicating a movieclip on the stage in which Flash labels them in order.AKA. ball1...ball2....ball3....ball4...etc.I'm trying to change the color of all of them from another button and so far I have to do it like this: Is there a shorter way?
on (release) { var visitedcolor = new Color(_root.bb.t1.screen); visitedcolor.setRGB(0x00FF00);
I want to have a function to duplicating mc or better to place mc on the stage in sequence, imagine, one after another not all when the movie starts, this is possible whit actionscript? I thought to try to use the set Interval.
I am trying to load an external swf (AS3) in an AS3 application, using basically a duplicateMovieClip() function from the "Tip of The Day" (the loaded swf should appear in several places in the Container - each with its own timeline - that is, I want to be able to play() ant stop() them independently); ofcourse, I'm trying to avoid loading the same file multiple times.
I have a game where you click a button and I want a movieclip to be duplicated in a certain area which is a movie clip named swamp_mc.On the button I am writing:
What I'm trying to do, is duplicate a movie clip an x amount of times, based on a variable loaded externally, not the problem though, got that working fine. My problem comes in while I'm trying to reposition the duplicated movies, to line up in a stacked order. It duplicates the movie the number of times I need it, but when trying to call upon the movie clip, which is the a=this["a"+i]; script, nothing happens, the clips don't get repositioned.
I am loading several images from XML to dynamically generated movieclips (mc_1, mc_2, mc_3...etc.). Then adding all of them into a parent MovieClip - imageContainerMc. So now, imageContainerMc holds mc_1, mc_2... etc. What I want to do next, is to Duplicate the imageContainerMc, and add both the instances on Stage-- addChild(imageContainerMc), addChild(imageContainerMc_duplicate).how can I duplicate a dynamically generated MovieClip?
In Flash CS3 I was able to duplicate any MovieClip from an external SWF by loading the SWF, and then executing the following code: var targetClass:Class = MovieClipToDuplicate.constructor; var duplicate:MovieClip = new targetClass();
Note that the MovieClips I was duplicating did NOT have any linkage explicitly defined. Flash would automatically assign a unique class to each MovieClip. Now, in Flash CS4, when I try to do the same thing the .constructor property returns only the "MovieClip" class, such that the "duplicate" variable above is but a blank MovieClip. If I compile the external SWF using CS3, my old code still works. But I want to do it in CS4.
I having trouble duplicating my movieClip onto another movieClip called "Floor". I can duplicate the floor movieClip but not the item I am selecting in my scrollPane. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
How do I set/access the "Text File" variable as shown in the two pictures. _root and _global don't work.I also tried to access it from _root.CrosswordPuzzle.cp_words_textfile.I don't get components.
What I am trying to do is create a root variable that can simultaneously equal a range of numbers. But I cant use the for command because the variable it will assign will only be confined to those brackets and can only be pulled from code inside the brackets
I'm using createTextField to create a textfield. I have also created a input textfield with a variable called textline1 (I don't create the inputfield with as).I want to display the letters in the created textfiled that I'm typing in the input field. So this in my AS coed:
_root.createTextField("text1",1,100,100,300,100); text1.variable = textline1; format1 = new TextFormat();
How could I set a Flash (Actionscript 3) variable using javascript? Or is it possible to call a flash function with parameters from javascript? I have tried ocument.getElementById('flash').SetVariable("data", "asdf");but it only works in AS2 and AS1.
I have loaded a movie clip from the library using the addChild Method. Now, from withing the main timeline of this loaded movie clip I'm trying to set the value of a curScore variable on the stage.
trying to get a variable set so that I can use it in another class.I am trying to set the class variable animate. My "intended" goal is that I am trying to load in an external SWF file that is a pulley In this external SWF file I have a function that stops the animation called "stopAnimation()". I want to be able to access this stopAnimation function in a couple of class files. So I pass this object to those classes and then I should be able to access the stopAnimation() function from where ever but I cannot seem to get the contentloader info into a class variable in order to call it from other objects.
PHP Code: azar pin:Number;pin=1234; enter_btn.onRelease = function(){if (pin=input_pin) {gotoAndPlay(3)}} It's a cash machine demo, if you were wondering about the "pin" variables. Basicaly there is an input textbox with the instance name "input1" and the "var" setting is "input_pin" the button has the instance name "enter_btn". If the pin number = pin number typed in, go to frame 3. But it dont work...
