ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Inside Duplicated Movieclips?
Mar 27, 2005
I am trying to do a bit of code that duplicates a movieclip with an input text box inside it, which the user can then position wherever they want on the stage.
Now, I've been monkeying about with this bit of code (on the frame);
box01.onPress = function() {
var depth = this._parent.getNextHighestDepth();
var init = {};
[Code].....
This works fine for duplicating and positioning the movieclips, but when I try and input text into the duplicated movieclip's input text box, it won't have any of it. I have tried everything I can think of, from trying to isolate the drag, to getting the input text box to position itself dynamically (kinda like a startdrag) but I can't get anything to work!

ActionScript Code:
_root.mc.duplicateMovieClip(mc1, 99, {mctext:"this is mc1", _y:200, _x:200})
_root.mc.duplicateMovieClip(mc2, 98, {mctext:"this is mc2",_y:300, _x:300})
This is really drive me crazy! Why won't this work? I have tried
ActionScript Code:
eval(mc1).mctext = "this is mc1"
and it didn't work. I have also tried
ActionScript Code:
_root[mc1].mctext = "this is mc1"
but still it didn't work.
EDIT: I added the file

I'm working on a piece for work. I need to figure out how to add unique dynamic text fields to duplicated movieclips. Unique as in unique instance names and variable names. I have a movieclip on the stage that contains a dynamic text field.
the text field will house text that is being pulled from an xml file.What I need is to have the dynamic text field in all the duplicated movieclips have a unique instance name and variable name.I assume that a nested for loop would be required, but I'm not sure as I am not the greatest actionscripter. Here's what I have so far:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

I am trying to make hitsplats that are activated when I hit an "Attack" button on my main layer. I have placed a Dynamic text box with the variable Hitsplat and I made an animation with stop(); on the first frame, having it off of the stage. what can I do to activate the hitsplat, and change the number in it, to the damage being dealt by the button? [code]hitsplatmc would be the movie clip containing the dynamic text I wish to become the dmg and move upward. I am assuming the problem lies with the fact that _root.hitsplat lies in another MC.

i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?

I have created a movie clip with the following path to a dynamic text field:
_root.i_lotteryball1.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text1;
I have then duplicated the 'i_lotteryball1' movie clip, and called it 'i_lotteryball2'.When I try:
_root.i_lotteryball2.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text2;
It changes the text in 'i_lotteryball1' text field aswell as 'i_lotteryball2' text field with the value of '_global.text2' How can I update each text field with different values.When I try to change the instance name of the text field inside 'i_lotteryball2' to 'd_text2', it changes the 'i_lotteryball1' text field instance name aswell to 'd_text2'!
My objective:
_root.i_lotteryball1.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text1;
_root.i_lotteryball2.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text2.text = _global.text1;

I recently started learning Flash and Actionscript and now I'm trying to write an actionscript for the first time. Im doing this in Actionscript 2.0.I have a movieclip that consists of two images and one dynamic text field with a variable. The name of the images are "VS1_P1_RUN" and "VS1_P1_OFF" and the name of the dynamic text field is "pumptext". In the dynamic text field I have the variable "VS1_P1_Ind". VS1_P1_Ind is probably a boolean variable as it shows 1 or 0 in another program but in Flash it shows True or False (not sure if Flash thinks it's a text/word or a boolean).My script is supposed to display the image named VS1_P1_RUN if the variable of the dynamic text field pumptext shows the text True and it goes like this:[code]
So I'm completely stuck in what to do. The bottom code works as it should but I want the images to show depending on the value of the variable VS1_P1_Ind. I thought just changing the text field to dynamic and typing the variable name in the variable field would do it but no.If it could be a clue to the solution I'll also share that the value of the variable is not seen/shown in textfield while inside the movieclip. Creating a dynamic textfield outside of the movieclip shows the value of the variable just fine, True/False.

I'm getting frustrated with a project I'm working on. The problem I'm having now is trying to make a breadcrumbing list that is masked within an area like below.
Each breadcrumb is a duplicated movieclip that adds new text and resizes to fit the text as needed then moved over so that it is spaced evenly. All is well until the next duplicate which is beyond the mask area. When a duplicate is found to be beyond the right edge of the mask area, everything moves to the left so that the new duplicate will fit in its entirety. The whole thing blows up and releases all of the previous movieclips from the mask layer like below. I am using CS3 Actionscript 3 Publishing to Player 9.

I was wondering if anyone could tell how I could go about removing or deleting movie clips that have been created with a for loop. Here is my code that I have attached to a movieclip on the main stage.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i=1; i<=10; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("_root.moveline", "_root.newline" + i, i);

I have set up a Qwerty keyboard within a swf using duplicateMovieClip() - all works fine. If I have no tabbing whatsoever then I can use the tab key to randomly jump all over the keyboard.
But I would like it to tab in an order. Other buttons at the _root level are tabbing fine but these dynamically created ones are not doing a thing.
The keyboard buttons are created within a movieclip called mcContent which is sat at the _root level, anything within this mc is usually referenced by mcContent. or _level0.mcContent. (if it is being really fussy).
I have an instructions button - if this is NOT included in the tabIndex then the tabbing will work on the keyboard, erratically, but it at least goes there. As soon as I set _root.mcInstructionsBtn.tabIndex = 1; then nothing but the _root level buttons work
I have tried to add the tabIndex when creating the movieclips but this has not worked either. I have tried to set the tabIndex in a copy version where the keyboard buttons are created at the _root level and it functions exactly the same.

Each duplicated clip is a different height to fit some xml text.
How do I vertically space out the duplicated movie clips so they don't overlap?
Code:
result_mc.duplicateMovieClip("mc" + i,i);
result_mc._visible = false;
//Y Placement

Is there (or what is the) best method to address duplicated movieclips? For example if you duplicate a number of movieclips (or attach or anything else) through a for loop and give them names like mc1, mc2, etc, how can you address them outside the loop? Especially if the number of times you duplicate the clips is read from a file which can change constantly. Example - an image gallery where you just add the files to your xml and they show up in the gallery.

Im writing an application that parses xml to display a menu system in Flash. The same loop that grabs the xml creates a new movie clip for each node(menuitem). I need to set a delay between the duplicated movie clips so they appear one after another rather than all at the same time. Ive tried a few different things (interval and timer) but havent got it to work.
Code:
var item_spacing = 60;
var item_count = 0;
var item_count_next = 0;
var newy = 0;
_global.itemNumber = "";
function CreateMenu(menu_xml){

It seems like the random variables in my duplicated movieclips are all the same, any way to change this? To explain a bit more in detail: I got a movieclip with a few random variables and actions and I duplicate this movieclip and want the duplicate to have different random variables than the first one, but it gets identical ones.

I'm pulling text from an xml file into a dynamic text field and I need to highlight the text one paragraph at a time depending on where the timeline playhead is. I was thinking of doing this by changing the color of the text but I don't know how to do it inside the CDATA tags.At the moment one CDATA populates one text field.Another option is that there would be a movie clip behind the text that would jump to highlight a specific paragraph but then I would need to know how much vertical space each paragraph takes.

i've been working on a project based on this tutorial: [URL]it's an interactive/searchable bibliography. Search for an author, get a list of papers all writen by that author. in this list of results, i want to add a button linking to a pdf. i've done projects in the past linking to pdfs via .exe/.bat files but never dynamically. i've learned how to add <img src> code to link to library movieClips, but i can't figure out how to add functionality to said movieClips. is there a tutorial, where i could learn how to have the XML file tell flash not only to add a specific movieClip, but how that movieClip behaves (ie - which pdf to link to).

I have dynamic text inside a Movieclip. The text can be changed at runtime, to anything the user types. The Movieclip can also be changed at runtime, in size.
Thus, when the MC is changed, the text sometimes will not all fit on the visible screen, and sometimes it will, but parts of the text will roll onto the next line.
