ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clip Objects Stored In An Array?
Dec 21, 2006
Anyway, I am having problems with storing movie clip objects in an array because when I try to access them, it kinda loses its properties as a movie clip. Say, i have mc_1 stored in the array,and in the course of the flash movie, a button is triggered to change its visibility to "false".. what i do is, arr[0]._visibility = false.So here's what I'm really trying to do with my school project: I have 24 movieclips, i named them field1, field2, ..., field24. I stored them in an array. Initially, they're invisible. Then, a button is clicked to show one field. If the button is clicked again, the second field is displayed, and so

I'm trying to draw a line between circles stored in an array. I have a button on the stage which adds another circle to the stage. My issue is I cannot draw a line between the most recent circle added to the array and the one that will be added next.
It is a bit complicated and I'm not an experienced programmer by any stretch of the imagination.
Anyway, here's my code:

I have a little bit of code that makes a nifty kaleidoscope effect, but I would like to take it one step further by having each star in the kaleidoscope gradually shift color as it expands outwards. Right now, I create randomly colored "star" movieclips by drawing 6 different triangles within the movieclip, and then add those individual "star" movieclips to a "stars" array.
What I'd like to do is use a "for...in" loop to grab the .color property of each of the "star" movieclips and change it slightly (using colorTransform?) at each ENTER_FRAME. How can I go in and access the star.color property (or is it star.transform.colorTransform?) of each of the movieclip objects that are now stored in my "stars" array?
Would it be:
Code:
for (var i in stars){stars[i].transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
}OR
for (var i in stars){stars[i].star.transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
}

ive come across this method 'as' and I dont get it.I am following a tut, and i have an array with my objects stored in it(for reference to control these sprites).They are instantiations of my sprite class 'Ball.as'
Code:
for(i=0;i<3;i++){
var myMCs:Ball = myMCs[i] as Ball;
}
when I remove it - flash doesnt seem to mind its absence.

does anyone know if it's possible to target values stored in an array in a function from anywhere in a movie? e.g var Pressed:Array = item trace(Pressed)
if i trace the Array name within the function it spits out values, but when i try and access the Array from outside of the function it doesn't work.

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;

I've knocked together a Java/BlazeDS server which creates a generic GridBean object. This GridBean contains:[code]I then created a Flex app that uses a RemoteObjectServiceWrapper to call my java server, grab the GridBean, create some DataGrid columns from the columnDefs and then set the dataProvider as the list of objects. Ok so far, everything renders.Now, what I'd really like to do is: set up some kind of event handler on the flex side so that if my item/object is edited in the datagrid, I fire a message off to java saying 'edited this field on this item'. The end goal is to have a nice generic way to render any list of objects from Java in a flex datagrid.

I am currently trying to design a small flash movie. I have a "Movie Clip" object (a short animation) that i wish to act like a static object until a certain frame on the main Timeline. Then i want it to play out, at it's own pace, just like normal, until it finishes (no looping).. What do i need to put into, and where do i put it? So in short, frame 30 of the main animation triggers the clip, whilst the main animation still runs.
[Code]...
A lot of solutions suggest a button, but I don't want to use a button, as it's not interactive - just a movie. i just want the damn movie clip to play in the damn movie when it reaches frame 30! it shouldn't be that hard..

i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection
the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects

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

I am fairly new to Flash and action script as a whole, and would like to know how one can write a script that allows users to rescale/ resize and rotate movie clip objects at runtime.I.e. When a user moves their cursor over an object on the floor plan, I would like for them to be able to either resize the object or rotate it.
After trawling the web, I am still yet to find an existing API that I can use to build my floor planner in Flash. However, I did stumble across the 'Space planner' created by Icovia for architects and interior designers alike. If you visit the icovia web site at http:[url].....and click on 'Test Drive' under Interior design and Home renovations section, you will see what I envisage for my project. However, all I would like to know for now is how I can manipulate objects on the floorplan using action script.

I know there is a way to manipulate the objects that are within a movie clip, but what's the syntax for it? For example, if i have a movie clip that consists of 4 squares, how would move just one of those at a time, separate from the other 3?

I have a "back button" scheme that includes using an array to store references to functions.However, when i have to troubleshoot something like this, one of the things i'd like to be able to trace is the names of the functions that are in the array. If i trace a for loop through the array i just get [type Function] for each function. I would like to look at it's name.Right now, im using a workaround that places objects with a func property and a funcName property, which is a string that needs to be indicated manually.

I was wondering... i thought this might be a dumb question to ask but ive been wondering if it is possible to remove all the data that was inserted into an array?
i.e.
ActionScript Code:
var loadAllThumbnails:Array = new Array("poop1", "poop2", "poop3", "poop4", "poop5");
someBtn.onRelease = function(){
//clears/emptys the array when released

I've been trying to figure out a way to have movie clip effects only operate WHILE the two objects are colliding with each-other. It seems after they collide, however, They no longer need to be in contact to execute the supposedly conditional command. In an attempt to get around "hit Test" I made a fake hitTest, below:
function zone(mc, zquestion){
if(man._y < mc._y +25 && man._y > mc._y -25 && man._x < mc._x +25 && man._x > mc._x -25){ mc.onRelease = function(){ trace(zquestion); } }else { null;} } onEnterFrame = function(){ zone(block1, "Insert Important Question here?"); if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){man._x -= 5;} if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){man._x += 5;} if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){man._y -= 5;} if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){man._y += 5;} }
except my attempt at "null/do nothing" if coordinates don't equal all of the above has failed. I really don't understand the "else" command, and would like to know how to create a "if NOT X...then DO NOT do Y".

Unfortunatly im having to extend to more draggable objects. So they will be within another movie clip so i can have them scrolling. After making the scroll, the draggable objects dont register on the droptarget as they are within another movie clip. Below is i think the part of the code that needs to be changed so the draggable objects know where to find the drop target.

How would one go about calling a function of an object that is stored within a multidimensional array? I keep getting TypeError: Error #1006.
Code calling the function:
ActionScript Code:
_board[i][j].drawPiece(xPos, yPos);
Code of the function:
ActionScript Code:
public function drawPiece(xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void{
_piece_mc.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000);
[Code]....
The object is there. When tracing out the array for specific index it provides:
[object Piece].
Or would it just be best to use a single dimensional array? End goal is to have a board class to be able to use for checkers and then potentially chess.

I need to create an Array of movieclips so that I'm able to read / modify / add its properties. I thought the best solution was to create an Array of strings with each movieclip's name and then using this to convert the string to an expression, but I don't really know what to do when I want to access one of its properties. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
var room:Object = new Object
room.objects = ["mcObj1", "mcObj2", "mcObj3"]
mcObj1.Description = "It's a ball and it bounces"

I am trying to design a very basic flash game. The basis of which is that there is a slider at the bottom and objects fall from the top and you have to avoid them. However, if the object lands on the slider, it also has to become part of the slider and so the area of the slider increases. I am unsure of how to code this last bit as the properties of the slider must change.
