Is there a way to use the duplicateMovieclip function to dusplicate a movie from one path to another? So say I want to make a copy of a movieclip which is in MC A, and put it into MC B . Is that possible?
View 2 Replieshow is it possible to get pathname ja name of pressed button, that has been duplicated form parent button? My problemm is, that i can get only parent name and path, but not the duplicated one!
so i first initialize:
for int i=0:i<90;i++ (
duplicatebutton add i to name
)
[Code]....
so i can get only parent name, not the special button instance.
I am trying to create something like the rollovers on this site [URL]. Is there a way that I can have a motion path and then have a mc duplicate itself around that path.

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].....
OK, I've spent a few very frustrating hours trying to figure out a solution that's probably staring me in the face. I have one movie (Intro.swf) that loads a second movie (ncjhs_Menus.swf) with drop down menus. Intro has a movie clip with the following script in it:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ncjhs_Menus.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
Both the Intro .swf and the ncjhs_menus.swf files are saved in a subdirectory called Flash off the root. The html file generated by flash is saved in the root. When done that way the Intro file runs but does not manage to get the menus file to load. If however I save the html file into the same Flash diretcory as the two .swf files then everything works fine and Intro can call the menu .swf file.
I can load data into my MC without a problem. What i cant seem to do is get this data into an array so i can duplicate my movieclip.here is code that builds and array and duplicates my mcs
Code: var list:Array = ["Adrastea", "Amalthea", "Ananke", "Callisto", "Carme", "Elara", "Europa", "Ganymede", "Himalia", "Io", "Leda", "Lysithea", "Metis", "Pasiphae", "Sinope", "Thebe"];

I posted last month about how to duplicate a movie with a mc in the library in the timeline. [URL] except now my code strategy has changed since and now I need to duplicate mc casted from objects loaded from an XML file, and I create a class file for easier xml management. My goal is to make a wrap around effects for animated menu icons that use separate swf files. this is the function I try to create, but my concern is in the else statement:

I have found a little FLA which demonstrates how the duplicate movie clip can be used.I tried to simplify and adjust the AS according to my needs. With some part i was successful but with some i wasn't.
i want to be able to set the beginning X position of the clips as "0" in X values. but when i assign "0" to the this._x , it naturally generates/duplicates all the clips at the same point. What I'm trying to achieve by doing this is, when the stage is scaled in means of width my clips should start to originate from the very left of the stage whatever the stage's width is.
my second question is how can i adjust the speed?When I stretch the stage width they(duplicated clips) all speed up in order to travel the whole stage in the same amount of time as they do with the initial/beginning stage width. I want the speed to stay constant whatever the distance is.
script to duplicate and attach movie to the mouse movement.

I have a series of movie clips that are dynamic text fields created with the createTextField call. The text field is dragged and dropped onto a box. At that point I want to create a duplicate of that text field and to then position it on top of the box. The code appears to be creating a duplicate of the original clip and the traces are all successful, however, the actual movie clip is not displayed anywhere on screen.
I feel that it has something to do with the depth. Originally, I was passing this.getNewHighestDepth to duplicateMovieClip but that seemed to result in my existing text fields disappearing instead!

I know there are a few threads about this, I was unable to find one that helped me with my syntax. I just need help on unloading or removing dynamically created movieclips. Here is my code:

tweening multiple duplicate movie clips. This is the code i have so far:
ActionScript Code:
function makeTab() {
var begin:Number = (currentTab-1)*tabThumbMax;
var total:Number = totalThumbs-((currentTab-1)*tabThumbMax);
[Code]....
What this does is it puts 5X5 multiple duplicate mc's on screen and it all works but what im trying to do is tween them so that the first mc slides in to position say _x = 0 then the nxt mc slides to _x=30 then the nxt to _x=50 and so on.
delay the duplication a certian X time. so, say my MC is a tween that goes for 50 frames.. I would like it to duplicate itself at the end of the 50 frames. Also, at the end of the 50 frames I would like to unload the MC underneath the 1st MC. I know sounds complicated. but simple idea. 1 MC, duplicates itself over top on the first, and then unloads the 1st MC.
View 14 RepliesOk, I have a simple duplicate movie clip for loop, but I want the duplication of the movie clip to be delayed by a setInterval. This is what I have so far:
[AS]myNumber = 10;
for (count=0; count<myNumber; count++) {
myClip.duplicateMovieClip("myClip"+count, count);
this["myClip"+count].clipText.text = count;
this["myClip"+count]._x = (this["myClip"+count]._width+2)*count;
}[/AS]
works fine. How could I add a setInterval to delay that script?
I wanted to post this here, in case someone more AS oriented should see it... I don't think it's getting much attention in the other thread... My problem is with creating duplicate movie clips, and then being able to access them again, to move them, or whatever.... you can see more details HERE

Is there a way I can easily create an identical row of moviclips with button functionality easily (i.e holder2)? I have a feeling duplicateMovieClip doesn't support dynamically loaded content. I intend to switch the attachMovie command with a loadMovie to load Jpegs instead of movieclips.
