I have this dynamically created thumb gallery from a XML[code]...
Is there any way to get _x and _y properties of a previously created thumb (e.g. k-1) and use them in maths of a position of current thumb??
I am creating game which involves some billiard-like balls to bounce on the screen. I created a MovieClip with only one frame which represented the ball, exported it to the class, extended it to my needs and animated it using Event.ENTER_FRAME. It works fine, but there is something that confuses me -- both, the stage and the ball have only one frame each, so I don't quite understand how Event.ENTER_FRAME works... I mean, if there are no keyframes, how is done the animation? If I used already animated MovieClip, I would have to add keyframes, right?
View 4 RepliesUsing a bunch of the tutorials on this great site, I've been teaching myself AS, and inparticular the XML parse, etc. with the loop commands to load an ideterminate number of images, etc. attributed in an XML file.I've got the attached code to work before - and it works well here too, loading all the thumbnails in their correct location, and as per the XML file. BUT now it's part of this page, the 'current_thumb' seems stuck on the last thumbnail, and a rollOver of any thumbnail will cause only the last one to action. In addition, when I put the trace command in on the onRollOut function (trace(current_thumb_mc) I get "_level0.menu_mc.item3_mc" no matter which of the four tumbnails I rollOver.

What is the best way to embed a previously created flash application into another flash application?
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble trying to retrieve properties for a container_mc that dynamically creates content upon loading. The container_mc is creating text boxes from an array and so its _height is dependant on the array.length.
So how do I do this without getting 0:
Code:
//after loading
trace(container_mc._width);
well like the title says, ho can i set the properties of a mc's created with createEmptyMovieClip , getting a real nag , have tried all kind of things , for loops , etc.
for (i=0; i<=10; i++) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip(["rondje"+i], i);
lineStyle(1, Black, 100);

If I create a class and set up one property which is a variable initiated at the start of the class but not within a function or a constructor and I reference the property from the .fla in a for loop as:Book is the class and myBook is the new object.
myBook:Book = new Book(); // (fla script).
for(var prop in myBook) {
trace(prop);
}
[code]...
The trace does not return anything. However when I include myProp (the class variable) in a function (other than Book function) and call that function from the .fla then the trace works and I can see myProp. Do I need to include Class variables in called functions (methods of the Class) in order for them to be properties of the Class?

how to access the properties of the movieclips which are created during runtime.
Ex:
var dotCount:uint = 0;
for(var i:uint = 0; i<=10;i++)
{
var circle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
[Code]....
How can I access a property (say .alpha or any other property) of "circle6"??
I'm creating/adding elements in my item renderer but from some reason you cant access their specific properties, you can only change the general properties. I created a LABEL component but when i do LabelName.font , nothing happens, its like flex doesn't recognize that this is a LABEL. [code]...
View 2 RepliesI am trying to use the duplicateMovieClip event to create a row of custom movie clips dynamically and I would like to be able to set the _alpha properties on each object depending on an event i am firing in a different movie.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI need to dynamically bind properties of components created at runtime. In this particular case please assume I need to use bindProperty. I don't quite understand why the following simplistic test is failing (see code). When I click the button, the label text does not change.
I realize that there are simpler ways to go about this particular example using traditional non-dynamic binding, but I need to understand it in terms of using bindProperty.

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.
Here is the example:
My Class for the user interface:
Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

I have had this problem a few times lately. When I try to update & publish files that I created in the same version of Flash CS3 and previously published fine, the "Exporting Flash Movie" bar comes up, but no movie compiles. When I go to look for the swf in the Finder (Mac OS 10.5.7), it has mysteriously disappeared, and only the .FLA remains.
It doesn't happen with ALL files I publish, only some -- so I know the SWF preview should come up automatically. I normally work off of a shared network drive, but the same thing happens on my local machine. Has this happened to anyone else?? Is there a cache I need to clear or something?
I am creating an ebrochure, where in my timeline i have three layers: top bar (for my glossary and help buttons), nav bar (with my prev and next buttons) and the pages of the brochure.
The pages consist of each frame having a movieclip for that page, so frame one has page one movieclip, etc... and are all individual frames.
The top bar layer spans the entire set of page frames (14) as does the nav bar, but I have the glossary and help on frames after the pages end. What I am trying to do is that when someone clicks to go to the glossary from where ever they currently are, the prev button on the nav bar that is over the glossary page can take me back to the last page I was on. So, if on page 4 and click to go to glossary, prev takes me back to page 4. But if i am on page 7, prev takes me back to page 7.
I am creating a 40 slide presentation with soundtracks, narration, and animations.Each slide is a separate swf clip).I have noticed that when I load a new clip, the previous clip is still loaded (I wasn't using any background so I could see through the first clip and see the second).This tells me that I should consider unloading the previous clip or use backgrounds.Putting on a background is easy however if I should want to unload the previous clip, how do I do that?Here is how I load the next clip:
mmBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadMM);function loadMM(event:MouseEvent):void {trace("Main Menu Button was Pressed")var loadMain:Loader;loadMain = new Loader();addChild(loadMain);loadMain.load(new URLRequest("mainMenu.swf")); }
Some slides will have many navigation options and others will only have one or two.I have AS in each slide to keep each slide self contained. This makes it easier for me to develop and test.Is there a way to remove the current slide contents (from the stage and memory) and load the next slide? I'm really concerned about the memory usage.
I play back videos in my application. When a video completes or finishes, the user may play it again. However, when I reload a new video, I see and hear a brief moment from the previously loaded video.
I am replaying the next video by simply calling play(newVideoFilename) with my netstream object.
Is there something else I need to do to clear the previously loaded content?

I'm using a preloader and MovieClipLoader to seemingly good effect and I have an ending sequence to my preloader where it plays out once the target clip is loaded. The ending sequence features within the preloader itself (preloader_mc.endingClip). preloader_mc plays through its frames with:
[Code]...
until it gets to 100% and then gets to a frame telling endingClip to play. All good unless the target clip is already loaded. Then what happens is that the preloader jumps to 100% and only plays the ending sequence. I would like to have a way of checking to see if the target clip has already been loaded so as to avoid displaying only this ending portion of the preloader.

I've been trying to convert and AS2 project to AS3. I've been able to load all the static items from the library and been able to get the buttons to load different text. However when I select a previously clicked button it doesn't remove the old text. here's a section of the code.
ActionScript Code:
//Add the FactFind button
var factFind_btn:factFind = new factFind();
addChild(factFind_btn);
[Code].....
Is there any way that I can clear all of the previously added items within a List?
View 4 RepliesThe code below is called after a thumbnail is generated and available. It is supposed to add the thumbnail to a MC along with the file name. The first go around (after a file is uploaded and converted) works, but the second time around the 2nd MC is generated and placed on stage with the correct file name and thumb image, but the first thumbnail image isappears (the file name stays).I don't understand why.

I have run into a very strange problem with Flash and Flex. It appears that under certain circumstances, movie clips from a SWF loaded at runtime (using Loader) cannot be instantiated if another SWF has been loaded in the mean time. Here is the complete code for a program that reproduces the error. It is compiled using mxmlc, via Ensemble Tofino:

I am interesting in creating a P2P application using Cirrus [URL]. The examples given create a connection with servers managed by Adobe. I'd like to do this on my Node.js server, how should I implement this? Or does Adobe force developers that use Cirrus to buy Flash Media Servers?
View 1 RepliesI have a project where an external video plays with cue points that trigger the elements on my main timeline (captions). I have a custom mute button for the video so that the guy talking on the video can be muted if necessary (did not use a skin for video controls but set it up as a button). The problem is, when I reach the end of the video and I click a "replay" button to restart at the beginning, the timeline and video start but if the video was muted previously, the video remains muted while my button shows that it isn't. How do I get the audio to turn back on automatically when restarted, or at a minimum show that it's still muted when replaying? My replay button AS2. mcPlayer is my flv.

I need to modify the behaviour of an editable datagrid to this:
-Single-click on a row, doesn't make the cell show a text input field (only selects the row)
-Double-click on a row, doesn't make the cell show a text input field either
but
-Clicking a cell in an already selected row, shows a text input field ready to be edited.
