Is there a way to reference multiple movieclips using a single variable name? For example,I'm making a side-scrolling game, and there's going to be many platforms, and I have some code that tells the player not to fall through these platforms, but I don't want to copy and paste the same "platform" code every time I add a new platform.

Is there a way to group a bunch of movie clip instances into a single variable? Reason is, I have a lot of movie clips acting as buttons that I have added to event listeners. All of the movie clips with do the same functions and I have a few different functions created.
For example. How can I change this
Code:
mc_aitkin.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeAlpha);
mc_anoka.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, changeAlpha);
mc_aitkin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver);
mc_anoka.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver);

im trying to make a game that requires you to have the spacebar and the right arrow key pressed to make the character move. However i just cant seem to link the 2 key presses together. when the keys are pressed individually it works and when theyre pressed together it works but i want the character to be inactive until both are down at the same time :/
i've tried everything that i can think of (which is kinda limited) i thought id cracked it with a 'while' statement but when i tested it flash would throw a fit and close heres the code that flash doesnt like, it looks (to me) like it should work but it clearly doesnt :P
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;

I'm using flash MX 2004 Professional. What im trying to is the following: I have 9 movie clips, each has a "closed" and "open" state. Basically, when I click no.1 I want it to animate open, and then, when I click no.2, it must first check if any of the other clips are in their "open" state and if so, close them. I've worked with the following, but it doesnt seem to be working:

I am writing a simple game in which the hero will need to jump on a trampoline. The thing is there are various trampolines (set as instance name tramp1, tramp2, tramp3 etc, and only one trampoline will be active at any given time. I have set a variable _global.level which decides which trampoline is active but how do I do the hit test?
So far I have:
trampland = _parent.ground.tramp2.spring.hitTest(this._x+8, this._y+32, true);
if (trampland) {go and do something}
But how do i tell which 'tramp' to use? I have been trying
_parent.ground.tramp[_global.level].spring,
But to no avail.
I couldn't find anything with Google on how to do this, so I'm posting it.I have a code on the first frame of a movie clip that goes to and stops at a different frame in the movie clip depending on a variable that was set outside of the movie clip. It doesn't work, and the movie clip just plays through like normal
View 2 RepliesI want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?

I have externalized the actionscript code of a movieclip into a separate class files.This movieclip requires references to some other clips on the stage. What I am currently doing to reference those clips is by using Movieclip(this.parent).otherclip but somehow that feels wrong.Is there a better way to pass in the required references into a class extending from Movieclip inside of the constructor? Or what is the recommended pattern here?

Anyone know how to change a single instance of an item renderer for a Flex tree item at runtime? To reiterate, I'm not trying to change the entire tree's item renderer like this:tree.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer2);I'm trying to change the item renderer of a single tree item like this (the following code does not work):tree.selectedItem.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer2);To put it more simply, does anyone know how to reference an instance of an item renderer and set it to a new item renderer class? I've tried using the Tree's itemToItemRenderer() method with no success.
View 1 Replieson my main timeline there is a movieclip ("sampleMc") which contains a number of labeled frames containing movieclips of gallery images (for example "dyerBikiniMc"). in turn, each of THESE movieclips contain a number of frames of detail shots of the main image (for example "dyerBikini00Mc, dyerBikini01Mc, dyerBikini02Mc, etc.").on the main timeline i have a gallery navigation bar with thumbnail buttons determining which image will be displayed. there's also a right arrow shaped button "detailsBtn" that i'd like to allow the user to click frame-by-frame through the detail shots of the image. i also have a before/after toggle button on the main timeline that needs to control the movieclip one level below that, where the before/after images of that particular detail shot are stored!

I have a simple function that dynamically creates text fields. My text field name is referenced by var thisTextField.

I am in no way very knowledgable with ActionScript, so this might be very simple and I am looking in all of the wrong places... but basically here is my issue: Instead of accessing an objects attributes like this, _level0.thumbnails.thumbnail0._width = 500; I want to be able to access it with _level0.thumbnails. (this.id) ._width = 500; where as (this.id) is a variable that could be equal to "thumbnail0" or "thumbnail99" depending on which object gets clicked. I have everything working to if I hardcode thumbnail0 it works fine, and this.id does get set to whatever thumbnail I click's "thumbnail" + ID

fairly simple question (with a long explaination). I have an array, created from the results of another array and it's position in that array. There are actually multiple arrays It can be created from.
Eg.
Array1: clientName1, clientName2, etc.
Array2: clientType1, clientType2, etc.
Second Array: [clientName1,0], [clientName2,1] OR [clientType1,0] etc.
[Code]...
My issue is, I would like to be able to dynamically adjust the array that it is generating from. This would mean changing the bold bit of the code above. I have tried declaring a variable (type = names+"[i]") and using it in the linkArray declaration, however it will not see this as an array reference, only as a variable. What I want to know is, how do I reference the name of the original array as a variable so I can update it dynamically?
