Does anyone know why I keep getting "undefined" with this code? I'm trying to create some empty clips - each using the name of the "holder" element in the array below:
Code:
var DIR:String = "";
var groupinfo:Array = [{mc:overview, display:"overview", toload:DIR+"overview.jpg",

I am trying to set up a script that will generate a matrix repeating the same symbol X by Y times. For example, b(3,2); should generate...
OOO
OOO
...and after many days of being tested by this problem I have narrowed the location of my problem down to what can be seen up in the following.
Code:
for (a=0; a<4; a++){
for (b=0; b<4; b++){
var z:Number = ((a*4)+b);
_root.attachMovie("Light", ("L" + z), _root.getNextHightestDepth(), {_x:(a*45), _y:(b*45)});
}
}
For some reason, that loop will only attach one copy of my "Light" movie. I cannot seem to figure out why more are not added. I am putting that code on the first frame of my movie. There is nothing else in my project yet.
I have compared my array to [URL]
I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).
View 1 RepliesI have a project in which I am using classes.I want to use a class in where from a xml object I create an array of movie clips using createEmptyMovieClip.[code]
View 8 RepliesOk so basically I have a button that will create a empty movie clip and attach some things into that clip When the button is first clicked. My problem is that when the button is clicked a second time. The clip will reload itself and I need it to duplicate. So if I hit the button 5 times, there would be 5 items on the stage.Here is what I'm doing.
Code:
hold1.onPress = function(){
trace("your hit me");

I am in the process of building my new website and am having some loading issues. Here is a bit of info. gallery_stage This is the main movie that I am loading everything into. This movie is places in the center of an html page in the portfolio section of my site. gallery_menu.swf this is the navigation menu that I am loading onto the 'stage'. Currently it loads insode of a container 'menuload'. This is the code that I'm using to load it.

I'm still having some problems with loading an .swf into multiple empty movie clips. The AS that I'm using loads all the clips into empty movie clips at different depths on _level0. When I run the main .swf everything starts fine but when I rollover or rollout of any of the loaded clips it only effects the first MC loaded.

View 12 RepliesI'm working on an isometric-view prototype game, and I thought a good way to do the collision detection would be to put four empty movie clips on each of the character's base corners (it's a cube), convert those corner's _x and _y to the Stage, and go from there. Problem is, how to get it to work.My character is on the stage in an otherwise empty "clip" MovieClip. Here's what I have inside my character:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var point:Object = new Object();
point.rightX = right._x;[code]....

i have an xml file
<xmlfile>
<file name="numero1" />
<file name="numero2" />
<file name="numero3" />
[code]....
they can have any names, this is just an example. so..and in my actionscript panel, i have the code:
the var bit...
myxml.ignorewhite = true;
max = 40
[code]....
following this code, still in the for loop, i tried to create an empty movie clip, which loads a secondary swf, called "button.swf". as follows
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",i) // "i" being the depth
myMC._x = 40;
myMC._y = max;
[code]....
so...when i run the movie, it all appears blank. just for your information, if i take the whole ''movie clip creation'' bit out of the whole loop, it works fine. just once, but fine you got the idea what i'm trying to do here.. it's a list of buttons... because i don't want to use the list component. anyway, continuing. i don't know how to make it work. i've been guessing the problems might be with the same instance myMC bit, and i don't know how to create a different one each time(i've been trying though ) or with the depth..which still i can't figure it out.
i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection
the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects
I am working on an interactive quiz type game using arrays and multidimensional arrays.
I am trying to make a dynamic textfield say "the current question" + "Sorry, the correct answer is..." + "the second answer in the first string of answers in the array".

I'm trying to make my portfolio XML-driven. What I'm trying to do is similiar to a photogallery. The difference is that I want "sub pictures" to every item in the gallery. Example: If I click on a project name in the portfolio an image should appear. Then I want to be able to browse between different images within that project. When I click on a another project a different set of pictures will be loaded.My XML file looks as exemplified below. What I'm having troubles figuring out how to do is getting the array right.I want to access the data something like this:
imageArray[0].path[1] would return "http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg"
imageArray[0].title returns "Title A"
I fail to parse the XML into an multidimensional array like this..
<images><item title="Title A"><pic path="http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg">
<desc>First A picture</desc>

first off, for those who don't know, a normal array is a set of data contained in a variable, created like so:
var myArr:Array = new Array("data1","data2","data3");
[code]...
(because it starts counting from 0, not one) A multidimensional array is just an array of arrays.created like so:
var myArr:Array = new Array(new Array(1,2,3),new Array(4,5,6));
and called like so:
myArr[0][1]
which gives:

it doesn't work?
the array is storing the string of the movie clip
