I have an array of movie clips, and I want to be able to control their visibility(make them invisible to start). The array is called allCoffees, I tried:Code:_root.allCoffees.visible=false;That did not work, so I tried looping through the array to do it:
Code:
for (i=0; i<allCoffees.length-1; i++){
_root.allCoffees[i].visible=false;

Should I use an array to manage multiple hits?
EDIT: attention i make a mistake explaining my situation, chek my post #4 Like we know to manage the depth of an elment placed on the stage and bring it on foreground, we can write
setChildIndex(myMC, numChildren-1)
Now my situation is little different. I've a stage populated only by an array that contain *n* MovieClip inside it then the last MovieClip i've pushed inside it is obiuvsly the element with the hightest children number, then, it's result on foreground. If i want to bring the MovieClip cointained into myarray[1] on foreground, what i can write?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a document class for a big project, wherein a swf has graphics on its stage, and it loads its corresponding sound file and captioning xml. Some of these swfs have buttons, and because it will undoubtedly be edited several times, we want those buttons to be assigned their URLs through JavaScript. The pages with buttons don't always have the same quantity of buttons.
So I'm trying to figure out how to get the buttons into an array so that I can add event listeners and say arrButton[0] goes to URL[0]. I tried just writing the array in, and it didn't like that, and I can't figure out how to push them into the array because they are not dynamically placed - they are on the stage with instance names. I thought perhaps I could use stage.numChildren to do it, but it only traces 1 child when 3 buttons are on the stage.

I have a movie the attaches movie clip linkages to an array with buttons, the idea is to attach the clip to the stage and when you attach another clip ,the one one the stage moves down in the y position 25 px to allow the next movie to go in its space.I cant seem to get the movie to drop down and all the clips stay at the same y coordinate.I have tried using a variable to update the y value also to hard code the y value nothing seems to work below

I am almost there I think. I am using the FUSEKit to fade in and out clips from an array.The fade in and fade out cycle works fine for the first item in the array, however it doesn't increment like it should to fade in and out the next clip from the array. It seems to me that the second onEnterFrame isn't being called for some reason, perhaps an inheritance problem?
The code is basically just using an onClipEvent to see if the current clip has hit either 0 or 100 alpha and then playing the next fade in or out function after that point. Any clue why it doesn't increment? It should finish the cycle, move to the next array item, and then when they are all done go back to the first item, infinitely.

I've built an array of movieclips - all of them sitting static on the stage. I'm trying to trigger the clips to play as they are hit by an invisible/alpha 0 bar which sweeps across the stage... kind of like a mexican wave? I'm still a bit crappy with arrays - here's my code:

My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30 clips onto the stage and have it play until it's done.
BUT - once a movie clip is already out, I don't want it to reset or come out again. I'd like the next action to randomly call out one of the remaining 29 clips.
Once each movie clip is done, I need some action to make it go back to the "available" list so that it can be called out again.
I'm guessing that I need to use attachMovie to call out the movie clips, and an array (maybe two) to make sure that I only get one instance of each movie clip. But after lots of searching and various dead ends, I'm just not finding exactly what is needed.
I am trying to loop through an array of 5 movie clips using a timer. Below is the script that plays the first movie clip, then plays the next clip over and over.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();
