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) {

View 1 RepliesI am trying to duplicate a text field. First I get the text with a mc.getChildAt(0) and then copy all the contents into a new textfield. The problem I am having is that getChildAt removes the textfield from the movieclip it is in. How to I get the properties of the textfield without moving it? Or maybe it is something else and what I am doing is fine
var dupeTField:MovieClip = duplicateTextField($value.sourceImg.getChildAt(0));
private function duplicateTextField($textField):MovieClip

I have a couple swfs that are loaded in using Loader, my first problem is I want to stop the timeline until another function when I want it to start. so In the complete function I have
var swfMC:MovieClip = e.target.content as MovieClip ;
swfMC.stop();
but the swf still runs through.Another problem I am having is whenever I add it to the stage it seems to make a duplicate of the swf, and when I remove this duplicate it remains til flash finally crashes. There isnt anything but simple tweens in my swf's (and added trace statements), so they shouldnt be held into memory. that and they shouldn't have been duplicated in the first place... right?
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.
View 8 RepliesI'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.
View 2 RepliesI'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 have this function that everytime i click the screen a box appears.
function box () {
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
movie = _root.attachMovie("mcBox", "mcBox", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

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.
View 5 RepliesI 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.
Code:

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 have this script. On the mc duplications i want to onRelease get on the every box a different loadPic(x)[code]...
View 0 RepliesI 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 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?
View 1 RepliesIn 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 have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;
_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?
I am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?
