What I want is: when the "hero" touches an enemy, all enemies should be removed. The problem is that when the hero touches an enemy it only removes that enemy. This only happens when its inside of an "if" condition. I made another example using buttons and worked perfect. let me show you the examples: in this case I made a button to create some movie clips inside an array:
ActionScript Code:
i = 0
myArray = []
boton1_btn.onPress = function(){
[Code]....
in the dieEnemies() function it only remove the one enemy the hero is hitting. What should I do to make all enemies being removed?
I am playing around with the timedate.getHours(); function and I was wondering how I might go about setting up a condition whereby between 3am and 3pm, movieclip1 loads and between 3pm and 3am, movieclip2 loads?
I'm sure it's not that difficult but I'm not sure how to structure the if/else statement or read the hour from the timedate function.
how to refer the main time line or stage from inside the class.
class sample{
function sample(){
trace(root); // its displaying as null
}
}
in actionscript 2 we use _root for this... in actionscript3 if we use root...why its not working inside the class....?

View 2 RepliesI'm working under as2 with variables in a web site navigation, i want to create a condition, a simple condition, for frame controling but i'm not sure how to code it.I have the content_fade_out variable, whenever a user clicks a navigation button, the variable should be checked to see wich movie clip to play. I know i can do it with an if but, if i do it with a "if" I would need add 5 ifs to each button, while i think somethin like this can be done:
variable value = Y
y = 0
_root.home_mc.gotoandplay
y = 1
_root.galery_mc.gotoandplay....
and so on, I'm just not sure how to set the variable value condition.

I have balls (...sounded pervert) that are created by duplicateMovieClip, yes, they spawn, but right on top of each other, and I don't seem to be able to do anything to them, I tried ball+i.onEnterFrame = function(){} typed in several different ways ("ball"+i, ["ball"+i] etcetc...) And I just couldn't find How to refer to them. i'm trying to spawn them to random positions and make them move in random directions (got the moving part already coded but like I said I can't name them -> can't use it atm.)
Short version: How to refer to balls that are created by duplicateMovieClip?
I have a container movie which loads another movie into a Loader object which then gets added to the main timeline. The loaded movie has a main class which controls all the other classes in that movie. The container movie has one other element - a scrollbar which scrolls the loaded movie (which is longer than the container) up and down.
When content changes in the loaded movie I need to pass a message to the scrollbar. If I trace parent.parent.parent from the init() function of the loaded movie it traces [object MainTimeline]. My scrollbar, sBar is a direct child of the main timeline, but tracing parent.parent.parent.sBar doesn't work So how can I pass a reference to the scrollbar to the loaded movie? Here's the code in the container movie:
PHP Code:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var sBar:Scrollbar;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);

I have an array that movieclips are added into depending on the users actions. When they are added to the the array, they are also added to the display list of another movieclip on the stage.I'm trying to refer to them later so I can remove them from this movieclip's display list, but I can't work out the wording.[code]

I am using the load movie from my main file (main.swf) as:
mc_zoom.loadMovie("detail.swf");
I then have a loader as a movieclip with the detail.swf
when the movie (detail.swf) is loaded the preloader I am trying to make/set the play to go:
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
But this does not work - it works locally but when used with the main file (main.swf)

the traces when the button is clicked twice are 'the id is myButton' followed by 'the id is yourButton'
Not just an idle query. I was hoping to change the id of custom components when populating a main app with them
I have an object created visually. How should I refer to it from classes of other objects? MovieClip(this.root).someObj or stage.someObj or MovieClip(this.root).stage.someObj? And moreover, if I want to see which frame is current on the main timeline, why I cannot just check stage.currentFrame? Why there is no such property of the stage, currentFrame? It has timeline, right?

the second bit of code "mc_inst1.onRollOver..." works, but the first bit of code, which tries to loop through all movie clip instances, will not work.I think this is because myReference is a String. But can anyone suggest how else I should construct my reference to the instance name?
Code:
for (var a:Number = 1; a<myCount; a++) {
myReference="mc_inst"+a;
var myClip:MovieClip = myReference;

I have 6 movieclips named answer1, answer2, etc. I also have a for loop where I want to assign functions to each one programatically. In my loop if I'm using var i, I wanted to refer to each movieclip with something like answer + i to refer to answer1 (assuming i = 1, for example). However, I don't know the syntax to do this.
Here's a rough shot of my code:
ActionScript Code:
for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
"answer"+i.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();

I can't seem to find this simple code anywhere. But, how do I access a movie clip on the main timeline from inside another movie clip. I want to:
Code: Select allwallpaper.gotoAndStop("blur");

Code: Select allstage.wallpaper.gotoAndStop("blur");
Code: Select allparent.stage.wallpaper.gotoAndStop("blur");
I have 3 SWFs.
X.SWF - Parent application. Contains an empty movie clip for loading external swfs using loadClip() method.
B.SWF - Has some text and pics. Gets loaded into the empty movieclip on X.SWF. Also has a button saying 'Load A.SWF'.
A.SWF - Similar to B.SWF with a button saying 'Load B.SWF'.
When I start the main application (X.SWF) and load B.SWF into it all is fine. But would like to click on the 'Load A.SWF' button on B.SWF and load A.SWF into X.SWF. And visa-versa. The problem is I'm not able to refer to the parent container (X) from these child (A and B) SWFs.
I want to enable smoothing for the bitmaps I load using a Loader.
How can I refer to these bitmaps ? Something like Loader.contentInfoLoader as Bitmap?
How do I refer to a variable using strings and other variables? What I mean is, for example, you can refer to an instance of a MovieClip on the root level with instance name "mc1" by doing this[code]...
