ActionScript 2.0 :: MX: Dynamic Duplicate & Remove Of MovieClips
Aug 9, 2005
I have a for-loop that creates instances / duplicates of a movie clip that works like a charm:
[Code]...
Then I position each instance- and I fill an array with the number ("pg"), because: I also have the option to switch to a different view and at that point I want / need the MoveClips to disappear. So I have a function tied to the switching that goes through a loop for all instances of the movieclip copies (using the array with the IDs from the example above) and remove them.
[Code]...

I've created an XML thumbnail gallery, and would dearly love to add a simple looping preloader animation to each of the thumbnails whilst they are still loading. I'm struggling to remove the preloader movieclip, once the corresponding image has been loaded.
I'm currently creating the new movieclips within the loop, so I'm having problems referencing them in the following load complete function. I gave naming the "spin_loader" instances a go (i.e. spin_loader.name = "spin" + i), and then trying to remove it in the "thumbLoaded" function ( i.e. project_mc.removeChild(getChildByName("spin" + spinNum)), where spinNum is the equivalent number to "i"), but I just can't seem to crack it.
Code:
function createThumbs()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i<my_total_project; i++)

I've managed to add a bunch of movieClips dynamically from the library. But I don't how I can remove them ALL dynamically now.
I'd like to be able to remove all the buttons, and then add a new lot in afterwards.
Here's what I have so far:
It's not a syntax or a collision error,
Code:
var myBtn:myButton;
// I have a movieClip in the library with the linkage: "myButton"
function addButtons ():void {

This doesn't work at all.[code]...
but adding "removeDuplicates(aPeople);" after "createfile(thename);" has no effect: in other words, when I push the savefile button, it keeps creating clones of the same objects. What can I do?

I am working on a project where there are 10 questions and user can answer the question or skip the questions. I want to track the number of questions (which questions) the users have skipped. I am adding the skipped questions in an Array. But if users click on the previous button and skips the same question again, the same question number is added twice to the skipped question Array. Is there any solution so that I could delete the duplicate entry in an Array.My Array looks like:skippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,1);I simply want to trip the duplicate entry and get the output likeskippedQuestionsArray(1,2,3,4);

I am designing a flash game and I am having a bit of trouble with the Actionscripting, I wondered if you might be able to help me? I will try and explain how the game should function and I attach a JPG that shows the rough layout as well, hopefully from that you may be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
How it should function The idea is you have a glass that you control, left and right keyboard arrows control left and right movements and it only moves on the _x axis and the _y axis always stays at it's current value, this works fine and I have managed to add actionscript to the glass movieclip to do this, the movement also has gravity and friction which means the glass slides on a little even when you move to go the other way.
Using the Glass you need to collect falling object movieclips, there are two types, good and bad. When you catch the good it adds to your score and when you catch the bad it deducts from your score.
The falling objects need to be random and I have successfully managed to get 1 movieclip to fall by using actionscript code and also I have managed to set the _x position as random each time , the actionscript to do this has been applied to the falling object.

I'm trying to hitTest two duplicate movies clips. One is a bullet and the other is an enemy. I have them properly duplicating, but I cannot figure out how to detect a collision between the two. I've trying everything I can think of, and so far I've only been able to get the hitTest working between the original enemy and the bullet duplicates.Here is the code for duplicating the enemy:
Code:
bb++;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.target, "t"+bb, bb);

I have created an external class for a particular movieclip and I would like to link a duplicated version of this movieclip to the same class file.
Problem is I can't seem to do it. Even if I state the class as the BASE class of the new movieclip and create another random class name for it.
Is there a way I can get around this so I can assign my duplicated clip the same class name ??

I've created movieclips that duplicate and swap depths but I can't seem to get them to rotate. I want the mc to rotate when the rotate button is clicked. I have created a button file that executes the rotate function properly but I can't make it swap depths like the others. How can I get all of the functions into each object?

I'm currently trying to make a cross-hair shooter game with an additional onstage character so that you not only shoot the AI, but also dodge using the arrow keys. The problem is, I have a code saying that if the AI hits the player unload the player, the AI, and the AI duplicates. The player and the AI are unloaded, but the AI duplicates are not! I tried fiddling with the code but just can't get it to work.

I have yet another "I die-problem", not so drastic this time, though. I've only tried to solve it for two hours or so,it's killing me Well, as usual, I end up here, at the Kirupa forums.. and of course, l end up emptying the coffe-machine at work.. *runs for more espresso* It's an issue regarding the duplicateMovieClip function. I know how it works, and I know how to duplicate MovieClips using the function, however, I do have an issue figuring this out: Now, explained roughly:I have a MovieClip which contains yet another MovieClip. I want to duplicate both the MovieClip and it's child, but I want it to stay inside the parent MovieClip, just as the original MovieClip contained the original child.

I have a script that creates arrays based on certain events. These are all stored in one main array like so: mainArray = [[3,6,5,1],[4,5,6],[5,3,5],[4,5,6]]; As you can see, sometimes I end up with duplicate arrays within the mainArray. How can I check if any duplicate arrays exist and remove them from mainArray?

I have an array which I am populating as I navigate through the site. Sometimes due to cicumstances apparently out of my control, I end up with two (never more) duplicate values consecutively placed in my array, here is an example:
groceries = ["bananas", "apples", "apples", "oranges"];
I need to run a script at all times that checks to see if this happens, and removes the second duplicate value, as well as it's corresponding key.How can I do this?

I have this current simple setup:
- MOVIECLIP1, with more than 30 run-time drawing shapes that modify on enterframe.
- and MOVIECLIP2, wich should contain an exact copy of MOVIECLIP1 drawed data.
The point is that MOVIECLIP2 will be as a "reflection" or "shadow" of movieclip1. I won't need to do any interaction with it, only apply filters. Is there anyway that this can be possible - rather than having to draw the same shapes twice on both movieclips?

how can I adjust the _x and _y area positioning of this set of duplicate movieclips? 710 x 143 are the dimensions I would like the duplicateMovieClip to take place, but it is not the positioning. How can I fix this?

I have a bunch of copies of the same MovieClip that are dynamically created I want them to be stopped when the swf first starts.When I click on one of them I want that particular one to play.I think that I've figured out how to play a single MovieClip with event.currentTarget.play(); but I am stuck on how to stop all the clips from the start.I thought I could just use a instanceName.stop(); in my for loop, but no go.[code]I'm an artist working on a piece where I am cataloging sound recordings from people (eventually recorded live from the site... but that's a battle that I'll deal with in phase 2 and after I have a bit more actionScripting under my belt).I just wanted to explain myself a bit since Kglad, Ned, and dmennenoh have helped me a bunch through the development of the project.If your interested you can check out some of my works on my website.I know,I need to update the site, but its more fun to work on new projects.

What Im trying to do is duplicate some main button movieClips for each <dept> node. When pressed these main buttons then show a second set of buttons for as many <menu> nodes there are. In the actionScript the displayMainButtons function is used to loop through the XML and display the Main buttons. With the other 2 display functions (displayFirstButton and displaySecondButton) Im displaying another button for each <menu> node. These too works just fine, but the problem with writing it this way is that I have to write another display function for as many <dept> nodes there are. Id like this to be written so it loops through it in one function so I can add as many <dept> nodes with as many <menu> nodes as I'd like without going back into the AS code to add more display functions. And as you can see, I had to do the same to delete the buttons.

duplicate the dynamic objects and have a little problem. It looks like this: Flash retrieves data from sql, PHP returns the result to me in the form: $name1=some text $name2=some text $name3=some text $count=3 Flash creates elements very nicely but I do not have no idea what type of code place in script (in the place marked by ?)to put text to those MC.
Script look like this:
ile = parseInt(count);
for (i=1; i<ile; i++) {
threadCanvas.attachMovie("border", "post" add i, i);

picture: [URL].. I am making a boardgame in flash Action Script 3 each position on the board is a buttons like this: button_1_1, button_1_2 etc. Whenever a character is selected you want to move it so the script has to add event listeners for positions around the selected unit
[Code]...
In the rest of the code I have:
function userClickedPosition(position_x:int, position_y:int) it selects or deselect a unit function selectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int):it uses the listentoButton(1) function to add 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)function deselectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int): it uses the listentoButton(0) function to delete 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)
My question: adding eventlisteners is no problem but removing them dont seem to work? What did I do wrong?
