ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrolling Dynamically Created MovieClip (Rollover)

Oct 24, 2005

Any examples on creating the horizontal scrolling menu with dynamically attached clips? the style where if the user mouses over the right hand side of the menu it slides left, etc? There's lots of tutes out there for simple scrolling but not much that take a dynamically sized clip into consideration!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Put A Rollover On A Dynamically Created Movieclip?

May 7, 2009

How do I put a rollover on a dynamically created movieclip?

I have several movieclips being placed inside a container movieclip and I need them to have onRollOver, onRollOut and onRelease events. The way I usually target and do this...

_root.mcContainerName.mcName.onRollOver = function() {
_root.mcContainerName.mcName.gotoAndStop("over");
}

...does not seem to work for whatever reason. However, if I put a named instance of the movieclip on the stage myself and target it in exactly the same way (with similar syntax), the rollover works fine.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Rollover Effects To Dynamically Created Thumbnails?

Aug 15, 2009

ive built it based off of an example we made in class last year that i had lying around..

as you can see here everything works fine.

The only problem is I want to add some roll over effects to the thumbnail but im not sure how to go about this as they are all dynamically added to the stage..

The way I tried was adding an event listener to each thumb via the function that adds the thumbs to the stage (see the "createThumbs()" function below). The event listener works fine and calls to the function i assigned to it ("thumbRoll") but im not sure what to put in this function to effect the thumb that is moused over as im unable to access "btn_thumb" from "thumbRoll".

ps. sorry if the code is a bit messy, bit of an experiment for me to get everything working..

gallery.as

ActionScript Code:
package{
//imports go here
import flash.display.*;

How would I then attach another movieclip to each of the newly created ones? ie thumbnail_mc.t0, thumbnail_mc.t1, thumbnail_mc.t2... is there a way to do it automaticall7y or do i have to assign it to each one individually?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Created MovieClip Never Displayed On Stage

Jul 15, 2009

I'm trying to build a Flash-based controller application to go on the web interface for the rack-mounted units which my current employer builds.  The interface is defined in an XML file which is parsed and processed when the Flash application is started.

I've created some library symbols which act as various controls - sliders, toggle buttons, etc.  I can add these fine to the stage. What I would like to do is group them together in a container of some sort so that I can show and hide them en masse without having to loop through all the controls. All library symbols I'm using are linked to ActionScript classes.

If I use a symbol I created earlier and added to the library as this container, everything works fine and the controls display correctly on the stage.

However, if I dynamically create a MovieClip and use that as the container, it never appears on the stage.  The code is identical in both cases except for the class names being used.  I am calling addChild() on the MovieClip instance to add the controls to the MovieClip, and then call addChild on the document class to add the MovieClip to the stage.  As I mentioned above, this all works perfectly if I use a pre-created symbol from the library as the container.[code]...

Actionscript 3 :: Access The Methods Of A Dynamically Created Movieclip?

Jun 28, 2011

How do I access the methods of a dynamically created movieclip/object?

For simplicity sake I didn't post code on how I dynamically created the movieclip. Instead, assume its already created. It is an object. It is called field_2. Below it is referenced by using getChildByName('field_' + field.id);

Check_box_component.as

public var testVar:String = 'test';
public function testReturn()
{
return 'value returned';

[Code]...

When I trace temp.testReturn, why does it show "function Function() {}" instead of "value returned"?

This link below helped me get this to this point.

Flash :: CreateEmptyMovieClip Inside Another Dynamically Created MovieClip?

Apr 1, 2012

I'm trying to create a movieclip and load a "frame" image inside of it, then create another movieclip inside of the first, and then load another picture inside of the second. Something like this:

var thumbFrame;
var thumbPicture;
thumbFrame = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(thumbFrameName, 1);[code]..........

But it doesn't seem to work the way I want: the "thumbPicture" doesn't appear on top of the "thumbFrame" as I expected... only the "thumbFrame" shows (with it's image succesfully loaded). Am I missing something?

EDIT: If I comment this: //thumbFrame.loadMovie("thumbFrame.png");

The thumbPicture.jpg shows inside of the first movieclip, so maybe the issue is with the .loadMovie?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Use BitmapData To Capture A Movieclip That Has Been Created Dynamically?

Apr 23, 2007

I'm trying to use BitmapData to capture a movieclip that has been created dynamically.

Here's my code:

Code:
on(release)
{
import flash.display.BitmapData;

[Code]....

As u must have noticed, the movieclip i wanna draw, namely _root.VESSEL, itself contains several other clips (eg _root.VESSEL.db). The problem is that the clip doesnt get drawn at all! All i get is a white rectangle of the size i've created the bitmapData. But nothing of that movie clip has been captured.

is it that the BitmapData cannot capture the details of a clip if it has child clips?? Coz here, VESSEL itself was created empty, and all the new shapes are actually being placed as movie clips inside other empty clips that were created in VESSEL.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 - Setting X Property Of Dynamically Created MovieClip

Feb 28, 2007

Long time listener, first time caller here. I'm having trouble with how Flash sets the _x property of a dynamically created movieclip. If I create a rectangle on the stage using the Drawing API:

Code:
//for the purposes of this example, assign a value to i
var i:Number = 0;
//assign var squareName
var squareName:String = "square" + i;
//create an empty movieclip named [squareName] at depth 1
this.createEmptyMovieClip([squareName], 1);
[Code] .....

I'm not new to Flash by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never come up against this problem before. For context, I'm actually getting my feet wet with the Tween class, and am having trouble animating dynamically created movieclips due to this confusion with coordinates. When I tween a dynamically created clip from one set of coordinates to another, they are offset by the movieclip's _x and _y properties starting at 0, 0, rather than their actual position on stage.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Component Properties Of Dynamically Created Movieclip?

Mar 2, 2008

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.

Here is the example:

My Class for the user interface:

Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Dynamically Created MC Within Another Dynamically Created MC?

Feb 17, 2010

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.

This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.

PHP Code:

var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Loading External Jpgs Into A Dynamically Created MC?

May 18, 2009

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
