View 2 RepliesI am dynamically generating buttons and textfields using an array and a for loop. It all works well and creates buttons and textfields ... but once they are created is there a way I can cast them to a movieclip so that I can then control the visibility etc.
Here's the code:
//define variables
var _buttons:Buttons;
var _buttonsX:Number;
var _buttonsY:Number;
var textArray:Array = new Array()

I posted this a few days ago and am still stuck. I have read a myriad of tutorials on arrays, and still cannot fathom out where I am going wrong. I have commented the code. The story is as follows: I want to be able to create a dynamic list. In the library I have exported for .as a movie clip given the name "nav"

I may be confusing myself as I seem to do this whenever working with multi-D arrays... but perhaps you guys can set me back on the right track. I'm working on a flash application that is kind of a game. It's a memory test consisting of 10 blocks, it is very similar to the one shown in the video below.... but there are some differences where this one wouldn't for my situation. (apparently I can't link) The title on youtube is Spatial Span... it will be the first result if you search for "Spatial Span" The difference is that there are 2 sets to every level and you only need to get 1 correct to move onto the next level.

This is probably one of several ways to do this..."myData" is an array that contains information displayed in "myDataGrid". "toBeMoved" is a variable containing, um, the item to be moved.
btn_up.onRelease = function() { // this is a button to move items UP in the list
whoseSelected = myDataGrid.selectedIndex; // gets the index # for the selected row/item
if (whoseSelected > 0) { // makes sure you dont have the already top item selected
toBeMoved = myData[myDataGrid.selectedIndex][code]...
here is a snippet of code in first frame of the movie I have trouble with:
----------------
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I am getting an error message: A term is undefined and has no properties. I checked list of objects and container0.one and it's there but I can not get to container0.one.usecase
In a new document when I create a movie clip on the stage and reference it in a script in the first keyframe, like aaa.scaleX = 0.2;, everything works fine.
But when I try this in the game I'm making, I get this error "1120: Access of undefined property aaa.". Why?
In my game I use a document class, here is the code that is executed at the beggining.

I have been using this line of code to fade in a movie clip:
new Tween(background_mc, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
Now, I want to accomplish the same thing, only this time by using an element from an array (bg_array[currentSlideNumber]) that stores the instance name "background_mc"
I've tried the following, but it doesn't work:
new Tween(bg_array[currentSlideNumber], "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
If I writing actionscript on the _root level, but I want to reference a movieclip that is on a different level, how would I go about doing this?I know that if it was reversed I would something like this:_root.home_btn.onRelease = function () {Would I just do the name of the level, "_level2.home_btn.onRelease = function() { ?
View 7 RepliesMaybe someone can shed some light on this issue for me. I have a main movie clip, call it Main, that loads external swf files during run time. One of these loaded swfs, or movie clip is called FOB. Inside FOB is another movie clip with a variable name of contentText. What I want to do is to adjust the x location of contentText from the Main movie clip.
Inside the Main movie clip I have this (entire code):
ActionScript Code:
//CREATE MOVIE CLIP CONTAINER
this.createEmptyMovieClip("FOB", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
this.createEmptyMovieClip("PirateClub", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

[URL]I am using a flash movie I crated as a menu, outside of the website the movie works exactly as I want and the push pin follows and stays on the last "button" clicked. However when using this movie on my html site since the flash menu gets refreshed the push pin goes back to where I have it starting by default.Is there any way to reference which html page I am currently on instead of the current button in AS3?Code looks something like this...
var currentPage:SimpleButton = home_btn;
tack_mc.x = home_btn.x;
tack_mc.y = home_btn.y;

I have a simple horizontal scrolling gallery of 24 thumbnails in Flash, the thumbnail images are loaded into the boxes using actionscript. I would like each thumbnail to link to a html page of my choice. There is a movie clip instance called panel with the 24 buttons inside it and on the first button as a test I've placed the following action script:
on (release) {
getURL("team.html","_self");
}
When testing this movie from within Flash (CTRL, ENT) the button links to the html file (which is in the same folder as the SWF) with no problem. The problem is when I preview the page in a browser and try to click on the first button nothing is happening. I've tried it in both IE7 and Firefox with the same result.
The flash thumbnail clip is placed as a flash object into a html page using dreamweaver.
I'm sure this is something simple such as navigating the timeline but I've tried a few things like _root. but still no joy.
i want to referance objects in the level above the movie clip that i have the AS in. what i mean is that i have a movie clip on the stage, and that movie clip has some actionscript in it, and that AS needs to refer to an object on the main stage, how would i do that? i have tried parent and stage 1, but neither seem to work
View 4 RepliesI trying to create an animation that will demonstrate the basics of steering a sailboat. There will be a movieclip top view of the boat hull. Another movie clip will be the boat tiller. One end of the the tiller will have a grip that the user will drag with the mouse. Dragging the grip will turn the tiller turn right or left on its axis. When the user drags the tiller to the left, the boat hull turns to the right, and vice versa. I can get the tiller to rotate in a circle around its axis. However, making the tiller turn no more than 15 to 20 degrees left or right, and creating an event listener that will test when the tiller is turned left or right, then turn the hull the opposite direction as a sailboat would react.
View 2 Replieshow I can create a working scrollbar for a movie clip? I've managed to get as far as inserting two buttons that allow you to move the movie clip up and down, it's just getting the scrollbar to be able to move the clip within a certain ratio that I'm finding hard to do.
View 4 RepliesI have created a movie clip with the following path to a dynamic text field:
_root.i_lotteryball1.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text1;
I have then duplicated the 'i_lotteryball1' movie clip, and called it 'i_lotteryball2'.When I try:
_root.i_lotteryball2.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text2;
It changes the text in 'i_lotteryball1' text field aswell as 'i_lotteryball2' text field with the value of '_global.text2' How can I update each text field with different values.When I try to change the instance name of the text field inside 'i_lotteryball2' to 'd_text2', it changes the 'i_lotteryball1' text field instance name aswell to 'd_text2'!
My objective:
_root.i_lotteryball1.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text1;
_root.i_lotteryball2.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text2.text = _global.text1;
in the first duplicate move clip I'm loading an array. I want to duplicate the movie "slide" again. so i get the same movie with the array and an other name on the right of the original movie.at this moment It only loads one slice from the array and I need all//mMaskedSLice//array with the gotoandstop
View 2 RepliesI have movie clip in an array (newStep) that is being added to the stage dynamically. It's randomly choosing a frame to go to every time an instance is added. There is a nested movie clip (stepLine) that i need to change the alpha of. This code actually works for adding a string to to the dynamic text box (pointsDText) but when i try to access the nested movie clip (stepLine) it gives me 1009 null object reference error. The funny thing is the code actually works and does change the alpha of the movie clip but i still get that error, and i think it's making my game more glitchy. I've tried using if(contains(steps[r].stepLine)) too but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to access this movie clip without getting the error?
if(newStep != null){
for(var r:int = 0; r<steps.length;r++){
if(steps[r].currentLabel == "points"){

it seems simple enough but i have no idea on how i could get a movie clip to slowly move to the coordinates of another existing movie clip
View 5 Repliesit isn't such a big problem bur for a beginner like me it is.I have a movie clip called "Lion_beginning_mc", inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.For example:Key Frame number 01 - DogKey Frame number 02 - CatKey Frame number 03 - MouseI want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.
View 5 RepliesIt's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.
