I place the code in the timeline but I dont know where to place them to make the movie clips work?
* do i have to place them on the time line?
* Do the have to be named a certain Way ?
* Do they have to have some code ?
I am trying to create a program using random motion of two movie clips and uses hitTest to determine whether the two objects collide with each other.
I've gotten hitTest to work with the original movie clips, but when the user loads more movie clips (via a button and duplicateMovieClip):

I have 35 movie clips named mcMyObject1, mcMyObject2, etc. to mcMyObject35Each time the playhead enters the frame this code sits on, I want all of these 35 movie clips to be placed on the stage in random orderI want each one of these 35 movie clips to land on one of these X coordinates: 57, 187, 317, 447, 577, 707, 837 and on one of these Y coordinates: 53, 183, 131, 443, 573. (It's a 7 x 5 grid)Movie size is 1024 x 768Here's my code, which doesn't work:
stop();
var myXArray=[57, 187, 317, 447, 577, 707, 837]; //cordordinates for x
var myYArray=[53, 183, 313, 443, 573, 573, 573]; //cordordinates for y

why the timeline inside these movie clips and the timeline on the main scene have to correspond to work. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI place a group of movie clips with random types (different shapes on a square) in a grid formation The code for placing the movie clips is this (this is in two for loops):
[Code]...
this goes up a single column in the grid and should remove the tiles from the stage depending on each type and it does this (sort of) until it tries to remove more than one of the same type. So if it finds and removes an lShapes it doesn't error until it tries to remove another lShapes and then it gives this error in the output: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So I am assuming that this means it thinks all lShapes have been removed and thinks I'm trying to remove something that doesn't exist but there are other lShapes on the stage. I am at a loss as to what to do about this.
boards and even newer to ActionScripting and FlashWhat I would like to do is play random movie clips on my main timeline. I've tried using the below code, but it does not work:
Code:
var movieList:Array = new Array(mc1, mc2);
var i:int = Math.round(Math.random() * movieList.length);

What I would like to do is play random movie clips on my main timeline. I've tried using the below code, but it does not work:
[Code]...
I've got them on a layer named "BG" and each movie clip is in a key frame. The ActionScript is on a seperate layer named "AS".
The random motion tutorial works just perfectly with one movieclip, but when I try to make a new movie clip and assign the same code to it, it really doesn't duplicate at all. The original movieclip has an instance name of dot so I created a new movieclip with instance name of dottwo.But for some reasob the following code doesn't duplicate the dottwo at all
i = 0;
while (i<25) {
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+i, i);

I have 5 boxes on the stage as movie clips, each one with the same animation waiting to be targeted. What I need is a random script that will make them play in "random" order. This should occur after a few seconds of inactivity where they each play, but once there's mouse movement, whichever ones did animate should "reset" or play back to their original positions, (assuming there's more boxes and there's movement before all of them play). I have some code in there for arrays and some random script that isn't working right now. I just need the random setup, really. I may be able to figure out the time delay, (maybe), and then be able to tweak the rest of it for how I need. Right now, I've just simplified everything in a 5 box example hoping someone might be able to work with what I have.
View 6 Repliesit works fine when i apply it on Button Symbols. But when i apply it on Movie clips symbols that i use as button, it failed to work as i expected.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "section1";[code]....
Should i change some thing to make it work on Movie clips symbol??

At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?
I used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.
View 13 RepliesI'm writing a JSFL script to export animations from Flash. I iterate through every frame in the timeline, and for each frame I go through every element in every layer, and write each Element's symbol name and matrix values out to a file. The problem is, if you've created animation using a motion tween, the exporter steps through every frame but sees the same matrix values for each Element in every frame. This is where I hit the first problem: Iterating through the timeline in this way doesn't seem to work. I can't see any way of getting the right information out for each frame.
There is a workaround: Namely, selecting all the animated layers on the timeline, and selecting "Convert to Frame by Frame animation" from the context menu. Then you run the exporter, and then you have to undo the "Convert to Frame by Frame" animation in order to continue working on the file. That's pretty messy, so I tried to automate the process, by having the export script perform the convert to frame by frame. When you perform the action, and look it up in the History window, Flash tells you that the JSFL command it used was the following:

I tried the random motion tutorial with my design, but I would like my design elements to move only up and down along the y-axis.
View 3 RepliesOn the stage, I have 10 draggable movie-clips and 10 targets. At the moment, I have it set in such a way that, each movie-clip matches a specific target. Is it possible that the end-users will place the movie-clips on any targets they want? If so, what could be the easiest method to use?My project is a little complicated but my goal is to give the user the freedom to place the movie-clips to any targets which will make them snap and also give them a conditional statement. My project contains one exact model of an answer but there are a lot of probabilities because the end-user are more likely to place them around the targets randomly.
View 0 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is a motion tween with two movie clips.
Clip A stays still all the time.
Clip B is first in front of Object A, it moves right until it no longer 'touches' A, then it starts moving left again, but this time goes BEHIND the object A.
The problem is, I do not know how to make the movie clip B go behind A.
I'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to position dynamically generated movie clips into rows and columns. Currently i've managed to position them side-by-side using the same ._y position. I would like to position them into a grid consisting of 25 columns and 16 rows, so mc 26 would sit beneath mc 1 etc...

I have named each tween in the tween properties box, and I have targeted them like this: plane.plane2.tween1._visible=false (and so on), but no go! Only the first of the seven is actually affected--the others are not.

I'm creating a game where certain movie clips execute a motion tween when a button is clicked, and stay still when not clicked. I know that this sequence would probably use coding such as if...button pressed execute movie clip/else...
But I'm not sure how to code it. Also is it better to have the motion tweens as a nested animation in each movie clip, or should I just create the tweens on the main stage. And if I make them nexted animations how do you say in a function to play the nested animation?
I'm making a shooting game but there won't be much of a challenge without enemies that point and shoot. Is there an easy way to make them do that?
View 5 RepliesI have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);

I have a flash file which contains two movie clips, one is on frame 1 which contains a button which will navigate you to the other movie clip which is on frame 10 with a frame label that i would like to target.

View 1 RepliesShould have farmed this job out (may have to, anyone want it?). I have created four movie clips, that work individually. When I put them into the main timeline, they don't play. Here's what I have tried:
* Create one layer, put one clip in the first frame, plays perfectly
* Add second layer, put second clip in the first frame of new layer, all I see when I play the movie is the background on the stage, no clips play
* Deleted layer, added second keyframe to layer with first clip. Put second clip into second frame, same result, all I see upon playing is the stage What I am trying to accomplish is to have these four movie clips (basically slides of info) play one after the other and then loop back and start over. What am I missing?
I'm trying to make it so that when the main page loads, I have two movieclips, the name of the client's company and their slogan.
The movie clips fade in and out, but I can't get them to appear at different places on the stage.
For example, the page loads, then "Hughes Team Racing" fades in then out in nice fancy font on the right of the stage, how do I make it so that the next time it fades in and out its at a different place?

I have three movie clips on my stage. Their names in my library are a1_mc, a1_mc2, and a1_mc3. Each of those movie clips on my stage has a different instance name. All of these are connected with an actionscript in the same file.Now, I'd like the movie clips to appear at a random position every time, they are loaded.
I already tried to make a new array and solve this issue with the sort() command. However, that did not work out properly. The positions and instance names of the movie clips on my stage are as follows:
a1_mc
instance name on stage: a1
position on stage: X = 20.0 | Y = 140.0
[code]....
My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30 clips onto the stage and have it play until it's done.
BUT - once a movie clip is already out, I don't want it to reset or come out again. I'd like the next action to randomly call out one of the remaining 29 clips.
Once each movie clip is done, I need some action to make it go back to the "available" list so that it can be called out again.
I'm guessing that I need to use attachMovie to call out the movie clips, and an array (maybe two) to make sure that I only get one instance of each movie clip. But after lots of searching and various dead ends, I'm just not finding exactly what is needed.
