ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Assigned To Variable Current
Dec 2, 2009
I've used similar code to this before in another project, but for some reason it's not working here:
Code:
var current:MovieClip;
menu01.menuslide.arch.onRelease = function() {
if (current != null) {
Tweener.addTween(current, {_y:0, time:.5, transition:"easeOutExpo"});
Tweener.addTween(menu01.menuslide, {_x:0, time:1, transition:"easeOutExpo"});
[Code] .....
I need to assign a value equivalent to the name of the button that is being pushed to the variable 'current'. when I trace 'current', I get 'undefined'. I used this in the past in this way below and it worked:
Code:
a2.onRelease = function() {
if (current != null) {
current._alpha = 0;
current.removeMovieClip();
attachMovie("002", "box002", 10, {_x: 0, _y: 30});
[Code] .....
Why the first code block isn't working?
I've written a class in AS2 that extends the Object class It's an abstract class for debugging purposes. The class is defined in an external .as file. The problem is that in an .fla file, after I assigned a variable to a new instance of the class, and I trace that variable, it comes back as 'undefined' The reason it's a problem is that I want to call methods on the instance of the Debug objectIn the .fla, I have the following code:
//import any external classes import Debug; //Create general application properties
I need a way to wait running the parseCSV command until the readFile event has updated the content of importData. I have seen a few things about custom event dispatchers but cannot quite figure out how to use them in my situation.
private var importData : String; public function importFile(event:MouseEvent):void { var data:String = chooseFile(); parseCSV(importData);
I have different textarea in a application and these have different Ids, once user move cursor inside in the specific textarea, delete button activate and it execute a function to remove this item, the Id of the textarea assigned as string variable, In this case how could i delete the component from Canvas
I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.
I had a bunch of movieclips on the stage and each of them gets assigned a variable called "clientName" onLoad.
I want to later reference the movieClip whose clientName was "foo" and changes its color, move it, make it bounce, whatever. It seems like it should be possible, but I don't know the syntax.
I've had this problem with Flash for awhile now and I've always been able to find a way to work around it, but this time, I think I'm just going to have to figure out a way to do it. Say I have a bunch of movieClips on the stage that have text fields in them that have data dynamically assigned to them from an SQL database. Once I've assigned data to these fields, can I reference a certain movieClip that contains a predefined value within its text field?
So, if I had three movieClips on the stage, with textfields in them that have the values "500" "600" and "700" is it possible to just reference the movieClip whose textfield currently says "700"? It doesn't have to be a just a textfield, either. If I could reference them by variables assigned to them. Like, it I assigned them a variable called "id" and the values were "500" "600" and "700" would it be possible to just reference the movieClip whose "id" is "700"?
stop(); toggleKonto.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,buttonPressed); function buttonPressed(event:MouseEvent){ MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2); }
What it does? Well, I have 4 tabs at the buttom of my flash application. I'm currently at Frame 1, also called toggleBuy. In Frame 2 I have toggleKonto.
I can easily run the swf and then click on the MovieClip assigned to toggleKonto, but when I'm at toggleKonto, I can't click back to toggleBuy (Frame 1).
I have written the following to send variables to PHP which searches a MySQL database and returns the results in XML. However I cannot get the XML data loaded into the assigned Movie Clips. I think the problem might be somewhere in the URLLoader. var imageDir:String = "Images/"; var getImage:XML; var imageList = new Array(); var newPic:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var thumbnailGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var loadGallery:String = "getImage.php"; [Code] ..... The remaining script (not included) handles the loaded data but is there an obvious problem I have overlooked in the above?
here's what I'm talking about Here is the FLA file I have three checkboxes (not mx components) and a dynamic textbox on which the "showtext" variable is assigned. I want the dynamic text box to display the labels attached to checkboxes when they return a value of 1 : (box one is checked, box2 isn't so the label doesn't appear, and so forth.)
I figured I need to use an array for the checkbox labels. I probably need a loop that verifies which checkboxes are checked (value=1). and use an array to combine the checked boxes with their respective label.
I am tring to create a simple mine game..so I created a couple movie clips one of which is to be assigned a value of "0" and the other is to be assigned a value of "1" randomly. That is if the one on the left has "0" the other should have "1" and that if I click the one having "0" value ,let it explode or do something..The problem is that I am not sure how to use "onClipEvent(enterFrame)" and on(press).. I named my MCs as "mcleft1" and "mcright
I am trying to work with a global variable in Flex and it does not appear to be working correctly. In my default mxml file I declare the following public var appID:int;
This variable keeps track of the session ID across my application for SQL purposes. On another mxml page I call the following code which should update the global variable to the current ID.
// Get the ID sqlStatement.text = "SELECT Max(id)FROM applications"; sqlStatement.execute(); var result:SQLResult; result = sqlStatement.getResult(); FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID = result.data[0];
Lastly I run a SQL Update query using the ID as a parameter. My problem is that the FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID is always 0, for some reason the global variable never gets updated, I have checked to ensure that result.data[0] is correct but the value never gets passed to the global variable.
I've been trying to create a script that pulls the current time and turns it into a variable, the problem is the variable keeps updating as the time changes, where as I need it to remain static as the time that is was when the variable was first created...it's just a simple:
How do you declare a variable type that is the same name as the current class in a different package? Is it possible?I'm importing the class and using getDefinitionByName for the instantiation. However, without declaring a variable of that time, the class is not being imported.
and obviously before that, have it declare the variable, something like
Code: if { current position = "home" VARIABLEtoCurrentMovielip = "home_mc" }
i just have no idea on the syntax. how do i access the current frame, namely the label? (ie how we have a layer that goes "Home" "About" etc) and then take that varaible and drop it in the transition manager string?
I'm writing a drag and drop game, and when an object is dropped I need information about that object to pop up in a text box. I've got the draggable objects set up via a class. Within the class I have variables set up with the text for each object such as
how can I get the current frame of a MovieClip.It's an animation that just loops over and over when its opened with ctrl+enter.On the stage its just one layer and one frame, but when it's double clicked, it has its own timeline with 20 frames.
Actionscript Code: //what i had but it shows frame 1trace(myMovieClipInstance.currentFrame);
display the current frame when it changes. So something with a while loop. Like while the movie clip is playing, display the current frame.
I'm setting up a project that has a list of 45 words. The user should be able to drag the words into an area on the stage, as many as they want, but unable to proceed until they have only 5 words in the selected area. I started off by making each word a movieclip and making them draggable, but wondered if there was a way to simplify the code rather than putting it on all 45 movieclips, if there was a way to have it know which one i'm currently dragging.
Then I was unsure how to keep track of how many were in the area. If i have a count that gets increased for each hittest, it goes up and up, but you can continually redrag the same word on which is wrong. But the user needs to be able to drag words out, so I can't disable them when they hit.
Is there a way to get he current frame of a movie clip that is playing? For example I have myClip which is a MovieClip, and the code is myClip.stop(); Is there a way to know which frame myClip stopped on? Such as frame 5 or 10 or so?
Product details and images are stored in XML File.
What i am trying to create is something similar to banner on [URL]
The addition to this is that products will be scrolling right to left automatically if there is no interaction from user, and product at the center will remain highlighted.
I have created a long strip of Products cover with a mask, the long strip keeps moving to give a scrolling effect.
I have two movieclips nested inside of a movieclip.I placed code on one of the internal movieclips to have its x position increase upon each frame tick, and when it surpasses or equals the x of the other internal movieclip, I need it to turn around and go the opposite way.If it were as simple as this, I could have just done:
Code: if (_root.OuterClip.InnerClip1._x >= _root.OuterClip.InnerClip2._x){ _root.OuterClip.InnerClip1._x += Speed; }else{
I have a character that I want to animate. Now each part of his body is a separate movieclip. What I want is that, for example, if you imagine the shoe MovieClip, I want to give it three frames - from the front, from the side, and bent.
So when I animate the character MovieClip, I would like it if I could keyframe the currentframe of the shoe MoveiClip, if that makes any sense. It's easy enough to do in ActionScript, but the problem with that is the change isn't visible until I test the movie, and when animating it's useful to see exactly what the character looks like at each frame. Is there any way of setting the current frame of child MovieClips when animating?
I have a movieclip called iconinterface_mc and inside of that movieclip I have another movieclip called smsinter_mc iv created a button inside smsinter_mc and I want the button to bring the user back to the iconinterface_mc.
There is something I have been trying to figure out how to do, I keep running into needing a simpler bit of code to hide all the movieclips except the one that was just made visible. My only idea so far is to manually input all the movieclip names and tell them whether or not to be visible. It works, but it creates a lot of code and is time consumming to change. I hope there is a way to use just one or two lines of code and hide all but the currently selected movieclips.
I'm creating a site that allows drag and drop navigation. Here's the current preview:
[URL]
My goal is to allow the user to freely navigate the desktop and explore at their leisure, however, for the user who's a little more impatient I want to offer an option allowing them to click a button on the bottom menu and have the desktop slide directly from the movieclip's current XY coordinates (whatever they are at the time), to a designated XY, and center on that specific section, easing into place.
I've got placeholder buttons, and placeholders for the desired targets, but I can't wrap my mind around the code needed to do it, nor have I found any examples that use the same technique with AS3.
I would like to know how i can get the width of a movieclip on its current frame. I am using scrollRect to hide certain sections of the movieclip and when i want to return it to its original size i need to get the dimensions the movieclip on each frame so i can return it to the default.

I have six movieclip images ( nested in the movieclip "mainInsight") in an array. I am using event.currentTarget to trigger MouseEvent.CLICK event that reacts to a parallel array. The parallel array, uses current Labels, to go to the frame labels in the main movieclip "mainInsight". It's supposed to scale up the image that is clicked, by gouing to a certain label with tween functions, and scale down the others. My current code returns this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label TheCompetition not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at tweenTestFinalTwo_fla::MainTimeline/clickHandler()
