I'm trying to make a movie loop only 3x. On the first frame I have:
Code:
var loop==1;
then, on the last frame, before I send the movie to frame2, I have
Code:
loop++;
if (loop==3){stop;}
But the movie continues, then goes to frame 2 again.
How can I make the movie loop only 3x?

I'm loading XML, but I'm having trouble making a for loop so that I can output into text fields my xml info. I use this to load and put into the output window. Eventually I will put it into a text field. What I want really to do is for flash to output a list. This is what I want it to look like.
PHP Code:
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var output:String = "";
newsXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code] .....
If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different Tournaments. What I want is to have them all in a list. I also want to have scrolling bar.
I have twenty movieclips on stage with these names:

How can I make invisible with a for loop, like
for (i = 1; i < 20; i++) {
g+i.visible=false;
}
This that not work.
I can't create new variables within a for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) {
var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite();
}
This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.
What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.
The situation is like this:I have Five buttons named button1 to Button5.What I want is to make one button invisible.To to this I have a for 1 to 5 -loop and I want to make one button invisible if it meets certain criteria.Is this possible without make an if-line for each button or not??

It should work. It doesn't. Similarly does not work on buttons which are also too numerous to mention, so making them visible one at a time would be an untold hassle. I would love these five arrays to be bunched in a subarray but right now getting it to work, period, is job one.
I'm using MovieClipLoader to load in external swfs so that I don't need to include a preloader on each one. I'm really unfamiliar with this technique, including how to use and implement listeners and follow the functionality after using it, I've just been playing with borowed code.basically i've been trying to use this code:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

View 3 RepliesI'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.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip with a class attached to it, so obviously i can acces it with commands of the kind this.* What i want to do, is delete the movieclip after some time (it's a bullet from a tank and I want it to be gone after explosion). I can removeChild it, but the code "this = null" doesn't work.Is there any way to get it out of my memory? Because now my application slows down and in 5 minutes it's unplayable...

What I want to achieve is their health bars follow them above their heads, However they aren't spawning when I use:
ActionScript Code:

iceZombie = new IceZombie(Math.random()*stage.stageWidth, -100); // Create new ice zombie at random x position (width, height, health, hitCount)

They do work when I specify a specific coordinate however won't get the desired result.
I want to make a grid with movieClip. But I can't make no matter how much time I have used exploring and trying.I have 2 movieClips and button

2 - Row
Both movieClips are linked to classes. mc_main is on stage its a small dot.when I press button a new instance of Row should be attached to mc_main and should append. Below is code if anyone tell me how to attachieve this.

View 1 RepliesI am probably just making a stupid mistake but can someone show me how to do the following... I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger. I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking to force the cursor to slow down/stop moving when it gets close to a MovieClip. Idealy you would be able to rollover the MovieClip when moving the cursor slowly but if the cursor is moving at some speed, it would be forced to stop at the edge of the MovieClip.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a new as3 file, and there I made an animation, like an intro for my website, in a movie clip. But what I want is, when this animation or this movie clip ends, automatically it charges another swf with my website, without having to press any button. I read some tutorials on internet that I can make this, creating a new empty movie clip, and then writing some code, but it didn't work me.
View 5 RepliesI am developing a Paint Application is AS3. What I am trying is to basically mimick the MS Paint. I am using vector graphics to implement tools like pencil,line,curve and bitmap to implement bucket tool,spray and eraser. But I faced a problem. While its possible to draw bitmap over vector its not possible to draw vector over bitmap if every drawing is in the same layer.
So the idea that I have is to make it into two layers
Top layer where the vector drawing is done.
In the bottom layer layer after each vector drawing on MOUSE_UP a bitmap copy of the top layer is made and kept on the bottom layer. Keep the top layer fully transparent so that bottom layer is always visible.
Things like flood-fill(bucket tool), spray and eraser will be directly applied to bottom layer.
After each vector is drawn on MOUSE_UP the top layer will be cleared but everything will be visible because it has been re created in the bottom layer and the top layer is full transparent.
My questions are: Is there any flaw in my logic. How to make a bitmap copy of the movie clip on top. I tried but maybe I am stupid it does not work. The name of the MovieClips are topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. What is need to have is to have a function to create a bitmap copy of topLayer_mc on every MOUSE_UP of pencil,line and add it to bottomLayer_mc. I mean create a bitmap copy of topLayer_mc on every MOUSE_UP of pencil, line and add it to bottomLayer_mc. A function will do.
I have been trying in vain to make my movieclip look at my cursor on the X axis. The problem I have is that, when it's negative scale. it's keeps looping the 2 directions.
[Code]....
Is this possible AS3? I've been searching everywhere for a way to make Movieclip Instances globally accessible and haven't had any luck.I know I can make variables global by making them public and static in the class constructor, but I can't find a resource for objects.
I hear this is typically bad form, but I have a portfolio site where the entire site and it's contents change scale and position for every thumbnail.If I could make things like the BG, border, header, footer etc. globally accessible, I could change them all with a one or two global methods.
So, this is my thought-process:
First, I make an Array to hold all my Buttons. Then I make a loop and throw all the instances of the Buttons inside.
ActionScript Code:
var TextButtons: Array = new Array(); //my container for the buttons
for (var j:Number=0; j<6; j++){
var mb: menuButton = new menuButton(); //button created
[Code]....
Every works up to here and looks pretty sweet. Then things get tricky. I would like to be able to create Text, specifically tlf, as part of the instances of the Buttons, so that when I mouseOver the text is grows and shrinks proportionally with the Button. I'm stumped, and exhausted my knowledge of AS3. I tried to make a separate array with TLFTextFields, and things just got funky. I am using TLFTextField, because there is an option to make them read-only. Somehow I need to make them inside the Buttons.
i have a movie clip on the stage called block, which is just a grey cube and i copied it so there are multiple blocks. i have another movie clip called player and i want the block movie clip to change to a random colour when the player movie clip hits it, but i want it to do this to each block individually and for each block to be a different colour. how would i go about doing something like this?
View 6 RepliesI have on my stage different sub menues which Id like to have fade out when I press a certain button. Thought I could do with _alpha, but I only fades a certain procentage. Not all the way.
ActionScript Code:

<p>_root.contact._alpha -= 5;</p>
<p> if (_root.contact._alpha<10) {</p>

Which I thought would work, but it only fades it 5% add a time. How do I make it fade completely?
I'm trying to make a movie clip move a small bit to the right and slowly (or quickly) dim until you can't see it. I've tried 2 different methods. The first was my original so that once you had the mouse in the original location of the movie, you just have to keep it there, you don't have to move the mouse with the clip. The 2nd was one i got after searching the forums. I've debugged out the for statement and tried just seeing if i could make a different movie's alpha change, and it didn't. So I believe the problem is either in the if (of the first) or onRollOver (of the 2nd).

xspot = _root._xmouse;
