ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving - Get The Hang Of Duplicated MC's
Jan 20, 2003
I'm very much a noob in terms of actionscripting (I use MX), and I was wondering if I could enlist your aid. For right now, I'm trying to get the hang of Duplicated MC's. Right now, my practice animation is like this: A one frame movie clip with actionscript tweening a black ball. Basically, my AS just makes it move to the right as it gets smaller and fades with alpha. This part works fine.
I put this above movie clip (ball, let's call it) in another MC. Now this MC (let's call it BallTween) has AS on it which duplicates the ball movie clip 30 times with a for loop (q is my incrementing variable). Now I read a tutorial on a forum that suggested using a mc = _parent['newball'+q] to control the duplicated movie clips as they are generated, but this doesn't seem to be working for me. Is there any really comprehensive tutorial on this kind of AS around? I would really like to get good at manipulating duplicateMovieClips. Does anybody have a simple way to do this from the ground up, instead of solving a problem in an existing flash project?

There r two function which I compare for effectiveness, createFlake uses a symbol in the library to duplicate and createFlake2 uses programming drawing to create the same looking shape.When I run this file with createFlake calls it consumes about 70% of my CPU and when I use createFlake2 my CPU is 100% busy.I would prefer to use pure programming here so my question is: Is it a "normal" result because of Flash implementation or am I doing something in a not optimal fashion?
Code:
// copying from Library FAST
function createFlake(i) {

I have an issue with the attached project (Flash 8). On the rollOver event, the shapes are supposed to turn yellow. On the rollOut event, the shapes should fade back to blue.It works well except in the case when you quickly rollOver then rollOut several times (try it with the largest shape at the bottom). If you do it fast enough, it seems to get hung on 'blue', the initial color.

still trying to get the hang of the intricacies of arrays. I have two questions:
1. referencing variables with function inputs. Say for example i do this:
Code:
myfunction(input:Array):Array
{
var myvariable:int;
[Code].....
of these three codeblocks. what is most correct ? i'm rather fuzzy about when i should use "new", and whether or not i need to explicitly cast from arrays.

In the attached file, for some reason, when the menus drop down, they frequently get hung up. (stay down, slow to move back up into the hidden position, etc.)

I am attempting to insert text from a database into a custom TextArea component, using the following:
var front:CaptionTextArea = myFlashcardFrontsides[adjIndex] as CaptionTextArea;
var back:CaptionTextArea = myFlashcardBacksides[adjIndex] as CaptionTextArea;
var passage:CaptionTextInput = myVersePassages[adjIndex] as CaptionTextInput;
front.text = passage.text;
back.text = str;
This works 100% of the time for smaller strings. However, if I insert long strings of text, the application will hang consistently. The maxchars for the textarea is set to 1200, and the text that is inserted into the text area is always smaller than the character limit:
backside.maxChars = 1200;

I wanted to create effect in AS3 like initially image is still and when I pull image then that image should drag and hang. And, when I again start dragging that particular image then its registration point should change and image should hang on new registration point.

It's spotted that when we are using Flash Player Version = WIN 10.0.42.34/10,0,45,2, it is encountered that the video picture is hang but audio keeps playing after our commercial break point. we will first pause the video content and then use the same object to play the instream ad. After that, the video is resume when instream ad complete.

I have a photo gallery that is XML based. In IE everything works fine. In Firefox, the gallery will load all the thumbnails and then hang up when loading the large image. The trouble is this only happens on the galleries that have a lot of images in them. It works fine with smaller galleries. Since it's xml driven, the images are not loaded until called for and all the thumbnails get loaded. I did see a post about a var being collected for garbage if it's defined inside a function, but I've tried to limit that to just declaring a new image to be displayed. My site is: [URL]. If for some reason you get a page saying that this site is under construction, click the link to the gallery again. I don't know why that keeps bringing up an old page.

I'm having a problem that I'm not sure is necessarily tied to the Flash, but I don't know what the root of the problem is yet.I have a SWF that connects to a socket using the Socket class. This works fine.I'm also making (jQuery) $.getJSON() requests to load certain page data. This works fine.
However, when the Flash socket is connected the Ajax requests stop being sent. By this I mean that it seems that the HTTP requests being made are stored in a queue while the socket is connected. As soon as I disconnect from the socket the HTTP requests continues to load fine. The HTTP request never times out (as it's not even being sent to the server), but just hangs there waiting...until I close the socket connection.
I've verified both in the jQuery and Adobe docs that both the Ajax (JSONP) requests and the connections using the Socket class are asynchronous, so I'm really confused as to why the socket connection would block the HTTP requests.

I was trying to load an external SWF (that contains the below code in its document class) with the Loader class but i keep on receiving Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. So i tried to use the event listener Event.ADDED in MyDocumentClass constructor of the external SWF to let the document class be part of the display list before i invoke createRandomGraph. But when i place createRandomGraph( ) inside onStageReady, The compilation process hangs. When i leave the createRandomGraph( ) inside the constructor, it works perfectly as stand alone but will produce Error 1009 if loaded within the loader SWF
public function MyDocumentClass( )
{
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onStageReady);

Since i upgraded to Flashplayer 9.0.124.0 i've noticed that using textures on 3D Objects via the beginBitmapFill method and setting the smooth attribute to 'true' causes the player to hang a few milliseconds at random. Setting smooth to 'false', the player runs without any hang. I tested this on different machines. An upgrade to player 10 beta didn't cure the symptoms but the hangs appear less in time. Has anyone else such problems or an idea what is going on?

im currently making an "AS3 beat em up" ala streets of rage or double dragon.Currently i have my character moving and a few animations done and i am trying to figure out how to make attacks work.I have some "basic" animation for his attack, but im not sure how to get it to work correctley.What happens is, if you press control (the attack button) whilst the character is walking he just keeps moving and is stopped on the attack frame.I want the character to stop moving if the attack is pressed and once it is released start moving again.
hero.gotoAndStop('still');

the "app" allows you to drag various movieclips onto a mc. On release the movieclip is duplicated.The question is: how can I set the parent mc of the duplicated mc? In this case the movieclip should be attached to "videoArea" SNippet
Code:
if(this.hitTest(videoArea)){
var duplicate:MovieClip;[code]....

I am trying to mask a duplicated mc.
I am attaching my .fla so you can take a look. The code is a bit long, but I marked the setMask code line with dashes (it's right on top). I marked out the setMask line so you can see how it looks like, because when I do mask, you can see any of the MCs that are being masked.

I am trying to get some actions on a duplicated MovieClip Now what I got is something like this:
Actionscript Code: I have some loop wrapped around this so the 'i' changes.duplicateMovieClip("target", "new"+i, 100+i);// I use 'i' because i need a few of those...for(i=0;i<somenumber;i++){_root["new"+i].onEnterFrame = function(){//actions}}
And it won't work. Logically it just makes MCs "new1" "new2" "new3" and so on.And then it checks for those.If i put a MC named "new3" on stage, it works. I guess i'm just stupid and doing the duplication wrong or something.

I'm getting frustrated with a project I'm working on. The problem I'm having now is trying to make a breadcrumbing list that is masked within an area like below.
Each breadcrumb is a duplicated movieclip that adds new text and resizes to fit the text as needed then moved over so that it is spaced evenly. All is well until the next duplicate which is beyond the mask area. When a duplicate is found to be beyond the right edge of the mask area, everything moves to the left so that the new duplicate will fit in its entirety. The whole thing blows up and releases all of the previous movieclips from the mask layer like below. I am using CS3 Actionscript 3 Publishing to Player 9.

I am an newbie trying to take an existing Flash game and modifying it for my own selfish goals. I am duplicating symbols and trying to preserve all of their actions so that I can then swap them out for my own symbols. When I swap, actions are preserved, but I have run out of symbols to swap, so now I am trying to duplicate the remaining symbol so I have more to swap with, but when I duplicate the actions are lost. I have adjusted the actions code to accommodate more symbols ( or at least I think I have)

I have attached a duplicate movie script action on a button to create a new copy of the clip (F900) with each press. This seems to work well; however, I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to create the script to remove the duplicated movie clipHere is the script I am using for the duplication and I did also attach the fla file:on (release) { _root.F900.duplicateMovieClip ("F900_"+"x", x ); setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _x, 300);setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _y, 200); x++;}Once I figure this out I would like to add different aircraft to it but that is not terribly important right now.
