ive got these clips on stage and add event listeners in an array :
[Code].....
but i want to have nothing on stage and attach the same clip from the library a certain amount of times and have them put themselves into the array, is this possible?
I have my code in the root first frame. I would like to know is it posible to attach movie from the library to array, but tu have that array created in some movie clip so the path to the newly created instance would be _root.some_movie_clip.array[i].
the code goes like this:
Code:
for (i=0; i<11; i++){
displayed_icons[i] = attachMovie("my_library_mc"+i, "new_mc_"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());

Bit of a problem with trying to attach a sound to a series of movie clips stored in an array. I miss attachSound from AS2, it was so cool. Background first. I'm making a simple pairs game where the aim is to match the 2 cards that have the same sound attachted to it. I'm storing my card movie clips in an array to build the grid (obviously lol) and I have 18 audio files in my library with the class names s0 - s17. Code breakdown below. Apologies if this doesn't appear in code format,[code]I have two issues.
1 - how would I add a sound to each movie clip in the for loop in preparation for adding another function which is called when the user clicks the movie clip and the sound plays?
2 - the grid is 36 tiles long , so to make the whole pairs game work I need to attach each sound twice, and then again I will create another function which will then shuffle them randomly.

View 1 RepliesIm trying to build a script that attaches and positions an instance of a movieclip for each node of an xml sheet. However, I can't seem to get it to loop properly. The script is simply attaching and positioning the movieclip according to the last node in the xml file. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?!Here is my script:

I am working on a game that involves a play head (called playHead) moving along the screen and when it encounters various movie clips it triggers a sound to be played. It is all going well except that the sound seems to want to play more than once, so there is a staggered wierd sound. Is is possible to make the sound only play once and also it needs to play until the the sound has finished. (the sounds are all very short).Here is the code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if (this.hitTest(_root.playHead)){ _root.sound15.stop(); _root.sound15.attachSound("over"); _root.sound15.start(); } }

I have these 2 seperate mc's, one is a scroller, and one is a drag bar,.. (which is a nice script that has easing and rotation"fake/real feel drag") trying to attach them together so that the scroller can be dragged with the bar. But when I do that the scroller buttons dont work? Does anyone know if there is a way to attach them together so the scroller can be dragged and still work? Will attach Zip with Fla File....
View 1 RepliesIn the first frame of my main movie i include a AS file.In that as file there is a MC attached from the liberary named shoutbox_holder. In the shoutbox_holder mc I attach 5 movieclips window1, window2.. also from the liberary. This works very well, because I see the mcs in the debug mode.
shoutbox_holder
|_window1
window2
window3
I want the shoutbox_holder to attach to a scrollpane, so i did drag a scrollpane to the main stage from the componentspanel, deleted it and drag a instance from the liberary to the stage, then In the contentpath field I insert shoutbox_holder(pointing to the mc created in the as file).
I'm an advanced flash developer and action scripter with more than 4 years of experience.I need to have an explanation to this problem. I have created a vector shape mask on the timeline that does different shape tweens. There is a movieclip container that is under the mask. When i dynamically load a movieclip from the library into that masked container, it will disappear after the keyframe of the shape tweened mask is reached. Why is that so? Isn't that illogical? I attached a simple fla demo.

I'm having issues trying to reference a movieClip after attaching it. What I have is:
Code:
btn_instructions.onRelease = function() {
instructions = true;
attachMovie("parchment", "mc_parchment", getNextHighestDepth(), { _x:280, _y:280 });
} mc_parchment.btn_close.onRelease = function() {
instructions = false;
trace("close");
removeMovieClip(mc_parchment);
}
The first is creating it on top of the other items that are created during the game. I can't have the instructions on the timeline and just change the visibility of it due to all the assets this game is making. The instructions variable is used in an if statement elsewhere in the game to lock the user controls so they can't create anything else in the game while your viewing the instructions. The second function is the one that should close it. The movie clip that's attached has a button in it, with the instance name btn_close. The trace doesn't even pop up so it's not targeting it correctly. Yet when I go to 'debug' and 'list objects' both mc_parchment and mc_parchment.btn_close are listed as being in the scene after clicking the instructions button.
is there a way to attach an event to a class to find out when a specific function in that class has been called?
View 3 RepliesI need to create new object, but in a layer that is below the tope one. So far I tried some commands:
PHP Code:
_root.attachMovie(...);
- this one creates object above all other. Changing depth doesn't change anything when it's about objects I put manually in editor.
PHP Code:
_root.layername.attachMovie(...);
- this one doesn't work at all.
i have one movieclip in Library named 'Tshirt' and this shape is like Tshirt.Now i have 2 diffrent blank movieclips named 'blank_mc' and 'blank copy_mc'.I am adding 'Tshirt' by CS3 code in both movieclips diffrently.After that i am masking blank_mc with blankcopy_mc.Now when i add some thing in blank_mc, outside the tshirt area then it also visible, which should not happen because one tshirt is masking the other and i added some movieclip in only blank_mc.What the mistake i am doing?

View 6 RepliesIm having 5 Mc's on stage : room1a to room5a.I want to add when the clip runs on the start, an onRollOver function to each MC's dynamicly , as i did here :
var i = 0;
for(i=1;i<6;i++){
_root['room'+i+'a'].onRollOver = function(){
trace("room" +i+ " was crossed over");

what i get on the trace is : room6 was crossed over . on each MC's i roll over with the mouse.

I've tried it with _root, without, using a variable such as moji = eval("moji"+k) then moji.onPress, but nothing works. It just won't play the sound unless it's hard coded.
