ActionScript 2.0 :: Link To Duplicated MovieClip In Loop?
Apr 17, 2007
I've got a form with radio buttons which were duplicated depending on the response from the database. However, when they are selected (even though they have the same group name) it is possible to select more than one. I've got round this problem by adding the selected one to a blank array and removing it from an array with all the possible radio buttons in. This then enables me to get the selected value and use it, and However, the other values (which are in another array) still show as selected (i.e. the dot is in the middle of the button) which isnt good. I've set up a loop which should go through each value in the "unclicked" array and set the radiobutton corresponding to it to unselected. The code I have is below:
for (i=0; i < unclicked.length; i++)
{
_root.RB[i].radioButtoni.selected = false;
I'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.
I am trying to get some actions on a duplicated MovieClip Now what I got is something like this:
Actionscript Code: I have some loop wrapped around this so the 'i' changes.duplicateMovieClip("target", "new"+i, 100+i);// I use 'i' because i need a few of those...for(i=0;i<somenumber;i++){_root["new"+i].onEnterFrame = function(){//actions}}
And it won't work. Logically it just makes MCs "new1" "new2" "new3" and so on.And then it checks for those.If i put a MC named "new3" on stage, it works. I guess i'm just stupid and doing the duplication wrong or something.
I've seem to have hit a snafu in a small animation I am creating for my next tutorial. What I have, is a movie clip that gets duplicated when the space bar is pressed. The movieclip has actions setup so that when the movieclip reaches a certain y value, it will remove itself via this.removeMovieClip()
The problem is, every movie clip that is duplicated does remove itself like it is supposed to. The exception is the original movie clip that I duplicate from. That movie clip seems to want to stay and cause problems (it is not removing itself because it isn't duplicated via attachmovie or the duplicateMovieClip method).
I cannot find a solution anywhere for this issue. Searching the forum yields: "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: name"
Anyway, the thing is this.
I duplicate a movieclip several times, which is a button, and name the instances c0, c1, c2, etc. I want to use substring to extract the number behind this name when someone clicks on one of these buttons. I have the following function in the button:
As you may guess, I need the number in the variable x. However, the pointer "this" apparently points to the level this button is on (_level0), and not the button itself. So "this._name" gives me nothing.
My question to you all is, how do I obtain the buttons instance name the user has clicked on? Or for that matter, any other property. How do I address the button itself, from the on(XXXX) function?
I can't manage to load jpg in some duplicated mc. I tried to add the as to the container mc "img"
Code:onClipEvent (load){ this.loadMovie(_parent._name+".jpg"); which trace the correct path to the jpg but the jpg don't show up. (Which would be wrong as if I remember well, the mc when being duplicated loses the loadMovie part????To be confirm) So I thought that maybe the best would be to have it done while duplicating the movie but whatever I have beeen trying has been unsucessful. Here is the codes with duplicating mc.
whenever i duplicate this movie clipthe duplicated movie clip goes ontop of everything elsehow do i duplicate it in a manner that prevents it from sittingon top of everything else in my screen?
Before telling you my problem in actionscript, I would like to explain on how the system works. Please bear with my long explanations.I have a list of data that need to be display out. I've created one movieclip and I named it table_mc. Inside the table_mc, I put 2 dynamic text and one blue box with alpha 0. In order to display a list of data out, I used a table component in flash to duplicate the movieclip, table_mc. It saved me from doing a "for loop".
I wanted the list of data to be clickable so I converted the 2 dynamic text in table_mc, into movieclip. I named it table_but. When I clicked onto table_but, the blue box will appear, alpha 100 to show that it is being clicked.Here's the problem. I've done an actionscript in table_mc. In the list example, when i clicked onto no '2', the blue box appear and if I clicked onto no '5' the blue box for no '2' should disappear. Unfortunately the blue boxes will appear there together when i clicked onto no '2', '5' and '7' because they shared the same movieclip table_mc. Is there a way to do it when the blue box can only appear at a time?
Going from AC2 to AC3. I have made a script that creates a dot (myTag) and a text label (nameLabel) when a button is pressed. Then the user is able to drag and drop the dots. This is what my script does so far. I want the text label to be hidden when dragging and displayed at the place where the dot is when user stops dragging.
Here is my code: var tagArray:Array = []; var labelArray:Array = []; var nameCounter:int = 0 addLabelKnapp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addLabel); function addLabel(event:MouseEvent):void { [Code] .....
I have created a MovieClip in the library that consist of buttons, graphics and other MovieClips. When the movie starts I attach this movie clip to a newly createdEmptyMovieclip like so
[Code]....
So all that works fine, except when I add a onRelease event to a duplicated MovieClip it does not seem to respond. So I was wondering if the duplicateMovieClip function does not copy the button inside the original MovieClip. The code for the button is
I am a brand spanking new user. I just attended a class, however I am using flash not on a site. Instead I am exporting to DVD to play on huge 60" TV's. Problem... I'm at 16000 frames and not even half way done.How do I link movies that will loop on a DVD? I'm guessing by the time i'm done i'll probably have 4-5 movies.
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2); } skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I'm trying to create a movieclip object that contains another movieclip that continuously loops. My current problem is, no matter what I try, the embedded movieclip will not play inside the one containing it. It would be significantly more work to design the looping animations in actionscript than through using the IDE, so I would prefer not to have to dynamically create these loops.
I'm getting back into the game of flash. I haven't done much in a while. Got Flash cs4. I've got a template and I want to link the buttons on the flash header to other pages of the website I'm developing. It's got onclipevents. [code]...
I do not even know how to explain this, this is my first time posting a question ever. ok here goes -I have been asked to link a movieclip's button to an external movieclip on another server. and that other movieclip am linking to is itself being loaded into a shell movieclip. is this even possible in flash or via some obscure actionscript 2.0 voodo?
I want to have a movieclip "button" that when clicked will go to another page on a website, a different URL, not another frame in the flash application. I am trying to use this actionscript
var targetPage:URLRequest = new URLRequest("update0709-2.html"); procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc.newPage = "update0709.html"; procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc.buttonMode = true; procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLIC K, goToPage);
In my main AS, I am using a MovieClip as a Container despite of the stage. In another AS file, I want to take the Container as a reference as well as addChild (such as bullets etc) to it, but I really don't know how to write the code.
If I only addChild in the current (sub)AS, it's working, but it's just a problem to removeChild.
Im trying to make a button within a movie clip play another movie clip (within the same movie clip as the button) and go to the nextframe as well, is it even possible and if it is how?
My Problem is that I Cannot Link an image in the clip. Here are my codes: ActionScript Code: SlideShow_mc.slides_mc["holder"].loadMovie(this["imageuri"], SlideShow_mc.slides_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); These are the error messages: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at SlideShows_fla::MainTimeline/SlideShows_fla::frame1()
I have a gallery swf which enlarges the picture when clicked on it. I am looking to add a button which shows me the large image in another frame when clicked.
I'd like to learn how to link a button from level 6 to level1 layer 56 frame 89 and in to movieclips 2nd frame. button name: Symbol1 movieclip name: movieclip
I've set of drop down menu which I build in Movie Clip. Things work well and the sub menu working properly. But my problem is how do I want to linking it each of the menu and subs. The problem is, all my frame and everything is inside the Movie Clip and my content of the website is outside the Movie Clip. So, how I want to navigate the button.
