ActionScript 2.0 :: Treat One Whole Layer As A Movieclip?
Dec 9, 2009I was wondering, in flash MX, if there was any way to treat one whole layer as a movie clip. It would just be much easier for me if it was possible to do this.

Jan 12, 2010I'm playing with Modules and they work as advertised: the module swf's ares built and deployed in the output directories automatically. My problem is that if I use descendants of mx:Module, the IDE does NOT do all this nice work for me. I've listed the module in the Flex Modules section of the project properties, but still nothing. I'm going to end up repeating a lot of code in each module (to fulfill an interface) if I cannot figure out how to make the IDE do its thing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Treat Incoming XML As Variable Names?
Apr 22, 2010I use AS3 in Flash to read XML from an external document. I'm wondering how to tell AS3 to read and treat some of the incoming XML values as variable names. For example, in the beginning of my Actionscript, I have defined the variable:
var playerAge:Number;
and some of the incoming XML nodes look like:
<whichVariable> playerAge </whichVariable>
<whichValue> 10 </whichValue>
Now, upon reading these two nodes, I want to make a function that adds the value of the second node to the variable with the name contained in the first node. However, I can only get AS3 to read the value of the first node as a a string ("playerAge"). How do I get it to make the 'connection' between the XML node and the variable with the same name?

Actionscript :: Duplicate Movieclip To New Layer?
Jun 7, 2011Ok, I know layers dont exist once compiled and that duplicated movieclips cannot be duplicated to new levels but I need some kind of work around here.
I cannot use the library as the movieclip I am duplicating is dynamically generated by actionscript (a graph based on user input over time) and thus cannot be made by me beforehand as it varies.
I need to somehow make a duplicate of this on a layer above the where the original was made, anyone know how this is possible?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Movieclip To A Particular Layer?
Sep 21, 2009Lets say i use the code below to add the player movieclip into the gamelevel instance.
gamelevel.addChild(player);
When the player movieclip is added it is 'on top' or infront of the gamelevel instance.
Now i know you can simply move a particular instance back to the front with the addChild() function. However since i am adding Player1 into the gamelevel instance, this does simply nothing.
How can i add the player into a particular layer in the gamelelve instance?
ActionScript 2.0 :: All Actions In Same Layer On MovieClip
Dec 19, 2010I've read that it's easier to simply put all the actions that you will be using on one layer of the whole .fla, so it will be easier to configure and change settings. Well I've been trying to do that, and I'm kinda new at it, like I can get around with putting actions on movieclips, but now since I've started doing it this way, I've had some troubles... For example
ActionScript Code:
player_mc.onLoad = function(){
playerSpeed = 5;
playerHealth = 50;
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
[Code] .....
That's simply a character moving script, but it doesn't seem to be working for me, and I think it's because it's on the Actions layer and not on the movieclip...
IDE :: MovieClip Animation For Looping Layer
Nov 16, 2009I'm very new to Flash and after searching for a solution to looping a layer I understand this is best done by creating a new Movie Clip and creating the animation to be looped here. I've done this, and then placed the Movie Clip into a layer on the Scene... but it just won't play at all. It acts like I've placed just the symbol that shows in frame 1 of the Movie Clip and it remains static.

View 8 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Place MovieClip On Specific Layer?
Jun 30, 2011I am currently working on a platformer, and I have a bunch of different tiles I use to form my maps with. These tiles are very different in the looks, and placed besides eachother, they give a very sharp change, which is not very visually appealing. I've been trying to fix this in the following way:
I have four layers, two for each block I'm fading. The first layer is where the actual tile, the graphic, is located. The second layer is the mask. In the mask layer, I have a gradient, which is the exact opposite of the other tiles mask layer (Mask layer 1 goes down, mask layer 2 goes up). However, I need to be able to alter those dynamically, place new gradients in the appropriate mask layer, and new tiles in the appropriate graphics layer.
I've been googling around for the last hour or so, attempting to find a way to define which layer a new MovieClip is placed on, but all I've found is setChildIndex, which, since one layer acts as a mask, I can't use. Is there any such function in Actionscript, or am I to make all combinations of tiles by hand?

Jan 10, 2012I don't think Flash is seeing my movie clip grid that I placed on the GRID Layer. When I check syntax it doesn't find anything wrong, when I go to debug in Flash it shows the grid even though I thought I have it set to visible=false. When I set it to true and debug the code it shows the grid as well. When I try to test it in Scaleform for UDK as well, the cursor acts as it should however the grid is invisible, when I change the code for the grid to be visible it still doesn't show up. I provided a screen shot of the entire screen. with as much information I could think of to show including the entire AS code.
Below is the AS code as well. I am using AS2 code.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assign A Movieclip To A Frame Or Layer?
Apr 5, 2009 After learning about classes and stuff, I've successfully create a movieclip with XML reading an all thru the use of classes. My problem is when I move to different frames, the movieclip I made stays there blocking whatever there is in the other frame.
Anyway I can hide all those created movieclips when I got to different frame? Maybe by assigning it to a frame/layer maybe?
Just in case you're wondering, I create the movieclip using the following code:
Code:
var header:blogHeader = new blogHeader();
...
this.addChild(header);

Dec 7, 2009i'm currently having a small problem with some Actionscript 2.0 in CS3.I'm following a tutorial to make a simple maze like game URL...I'm currently at step 5 where it's coding the movement and wall detection.. The problem is the tutorial wants me to apply the code directly to the maze/wall movieclip.

Feb 9, 2011The movieclip itself has button functionaliy (ROLL_OVER etc) and is on the stage with a bunch of other movieclips with listeners.The hidden layer of this movieclip off to the side a bit from the main part of the clip, and its getting in the way of other movieclips that also have listeners... so the other movie clips lose their 'functionality' when I'm hovering over them at a spot where the hidden layer is. I need this hidden layer to appear at certain times so I can't get rid of it totally. Currently I am changing the x value of the hidden layer to push it off the stage, and then pulling it back when I need it (and this works) but this seems a bit unnecessary..

ActionScript 3 :: Layer Order - AddChild MovieClip To Correct Sprite
Oct 23, 2011I created two empty Sprites to serve as layers, bottom_spr and top_spr. When clicking a button, a MovieClip appears and follows your mouse, until you click, then its position is fixed. As soon as the button is clicked, I addChild the MovieClip to the correct Sprite. Unfortunately, the layer system doesn't see to work, because they are layered in the order I place them, the Sprites don't seem to influence it. How is this possible?

private var units_spr:Sprite;
