I have a fire animation that i want to freeze (ha!) on the last frame of my swf. So basically the fire is buring and i want all the tweened flames inside duplicated MC to stop so it looks like a snapshot of whereever all the flames currrently are.Everything else in the movie is stopped too, so i was wondering if there was a global stop all motion command or the best way to freeze my fire

View 14 RepliesI am trying to create a hitTest between two duplicated objects. The code below is on a bullet. Bullets hit "bad" MCs that are called bad + x (X being a number from 22 - 40). I can't get it to work. I belive that I am not referencing the duplicated MCs correctly
Code:

I used a tutorial from here, that creates snow, and changed it up a bit so that it now creates fizz in a soda. however I'm running into a snag.Is there any way to mask duplicated movieClips so that they only show up in a certain area? Or some way to set parameters to accomplish the same effect? (i.e. I want the bubbles to only appear in the area of the cup, and not all over the place).Right now I have just set X and Y values to do this, but the cup is angled and not square, so it doesn't looks quite right.I have tried setting a mask on a layer above which the duplicated movie clip sits, and also have tried setting the depth of a mask_mc so that it is well above any of the layers that the bubbles are generated on (by use of a for() loop), but nothing works.
View 2 RepliesI've created a tsunami menu made up of duplicated menu items. Each menu item should have a rollover and selected state of 240% which works fine. When a menu item has been selected it jumps to another frame but until the user interacts with it it should loop through the different categories.My problem is that I can't get the menu items to scale big while it is looping through the different categories on the matching category frames.
View 1 RepliesHow do I change the y position for the duplicated movie clips I have created?
This is the code I have used to create the movie clips.
var i = 1;
while (i <= 5){
duplicateMovieClip("bar", "bar" + i, 0);
i++;
}
On my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?

View 2 RepliesI have some code that has hearts falling from top to bottom and randomly float off the screen. The problem is the layer order. I have the code tucked under a layer of some text, but the hearts end up covering up the text. So would this be a depth problem? What would be some code to tell the newly duplicated movie clips what layer to appear on(as in appear below the text layer in the timeline).

I'm trying to make duplicated movie clips scroll down the screen (asteroids) for an experimental game but I just can't get it working. :-
I'm using this to duplicate the movieclip:
i=i+1;
duplicateMovieClip ("m0", "m", i);
and trying to get the movieclips to scroll down with this:
p=eval("m" add i);
p._y+=2;
make renamed duplications scroll down the screen?
What (if any) is the actual differance between removeMovieClip() and unloadMovie() for use in erasing duplicated movie clips (using duplicateMovieClip() )? I was looking over some of my code and noticed I used both without much rhyme or reason as to why one over the other.

View 9 RepliesI'm running an exe that loads in some very large movieclips upon startup. At any time during the content, it could freeze and I'm thinking its because of all the clips with hundreds of frames(animations).
I am wondering if I export those movieclips as individual swf's and load/play them that way, instead of initializing a new instance, if that will be helpful.
I've never had an application freeze so randomly, sometimes it will crash during the simplest part of the content with code that has been scoured for hours now with not finding an obvious reason to cause this.
I have been trying and trying this, with no luck. I have 5 different movie clips all exported for action script and all executing different tweens. At the tweens end I want all the movie clips to stop but one.Nothing seems to work! I have been using this[code]...

I created a video Player and can't post the link b.c apparently you need 50 posts to, but here is a fragmented version if you can piece it together uwathletics DOT com SLASH video_guide-new Sometimes when switching between videos, the buttons stop working and you can't pause, stop or switch videos but the video keeps playing. I'm noticing it only in Google Chrome for some reason. If you mess around with it I'm sure you'll be able to replicate this error.
Now when it happens, try and refresh the page. The flash does not load... I'm just using an FLVPlayback component, and this is my actionscript when switching between videos
ActionScript Code:
_root.video_mc.stop();
_root.video_mc.play("flv/video_path.flv");
Do I have to unload the previous video before I play a new one or something? There must be some sort of memory leak
