ActionScript 2.0 :: Access This Movieclip With The Name Given In The CreateEmptyMovieClip Method?
Oct 1, 2011
I am dinamicly creating movie clip(see code below). I give each movie clip a name that has a diffrent nubmer at the end(myMovieClip1,myMovieClip2,..). In the createEmptyMovieClip this works fine, but when I want to do something with the new created mc (_root.designer.nameMC.lineStyle(0.5, 0xFF0394, 100); ) I can't use the string variable to acccess it. How can I access this movieclip with the name given in the createEmptyMovieClip method?I shuold probably (somehow) set movie clips instance name, right?
Code:
/loop
var nameMC:String= "myMovieClip";
nameMC=nameMC+loopNumber.toString();[code].....
//Here we add the new textfield instance to the stage with addchild() _canvas.addChild(PlayerScore); var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); myFormat.size = 30;
resizing a movieclip created with createEmptyMovieclip.I tried changing the property using setproperty,the result : no image shown at all.. i think i stting a property for a wrong movieclip.....
Code: addressVars= new LoadVars(); addressVars.load("http://localhost/test/flashmx_dbPassReturn.php"); addressVars.onLoad = function() {
As the title suggests i want to apply physics (gravity mainly) to a line drawn with the curser using the createEmptyMovieClip method.Below is the code in the main frame (sorry its a bit long), what I'm trying to do is make something like crayon physics (i know it will be difficult).So far i can draw lines and make certain objects ( a ball for example) be affected by gravity, but when I try to make the drawn lines be affected by gravity it stuffs up.he first line drawn is produced in the wrong position, (it should be at mouse point but isn't) and you can't draw any subsequent lines. This problem doesnt exist when i remove the gravityBasically what i want is that each line that is drawn can have actions assigned to it... (so i can add gravity and unique properties for different line types)
I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.
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?
I have a movieclip I created usind createEmptyMovieClip(). How can I assign a Linkage Id to that clip?My reason for this is I later want to attach that clip I created to another clip using attachMovie() which requires a Linkage Id.

So, you have a sprite, you draw some graphics, you set cacheasbitmap=true... I can't seem to access the newly created bitmap data, to access the dispose() method.
I am using this method to create a slider to control frames in a movie clip.
[Code]...
The slider works well when I'm in the scene that contains the slider. When I go to a scene that does not include the slider, I get the following output error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. How can I stop the stage.add.EventListener when I navigate to other scenes that don't include the slider. This is my first as3 project. The project functions as it should but I don't know if the output error will cause problems later.
Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
I have hit a brick wall after trying almost every example I have come accross.In a nutshell I have a Flex parent which is embedding a Flash SWF file which has a Method which needs to be accessed from Flex.[code]I have tried strong typing the SWFLoader as a MovieClip to gain control of it but have had no luck.[code]Essentially all I need to do is reset/reload the Flash SWF when the mx:State changes.
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf.The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button"racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error.[code]when I press any button everything works fine except from bordButton to racerButton
I know it's possible to get access to the currently executing function with "arguments.callee" but is there a way to get access to the scope under which a method is being executed?
[code]Is my code and when adding the backtostart function i always get the error if i remove the back and backtostart parts of the code it runs fine any help?
Created preloader, and after flash loaded want stop on label 'welcomeSite'. And on that label will have button, after click this button what play code from function 'irisDescription'.
But see error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at FlashSite/flashSiteLoading()[FlashSite.as:28]
code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.*; import flash.text.*; public class FlashSite extends MovieClip [Code] ..... 27 line is: irisBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, irisDescription);
I have an object on my stage, called obj.I also have a class called "Physics" which contains a bunch of methods for physics, such as inertia, gravity, and bouncing off walls. In order to do some of these,I need access to the stage.stageWidth and stageHeight properties.My code is as follows:
public function wallBounce(obj) { this.stageRef = stageRef[code]...
This is supposed to check if the object's x value is greater than the stageWidth or less than 0. When I run this code it says:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am a semi-newbie programmer who is completely self-taught and have no clue what is causing this. I spent a bit googling it, and I think it has something to do with scopes,.
I want to create an array of strings in a text class that I can access with the main document class. Then I'll be able to populate a text field with items in the array. The purpose of this is to avoid having massive lines of text in my main document... but I can't even get my test to work. The compiler is telling me that the array (txt1) is undefined. First here's my code for the array:

How to access a public method in the swf loaded in a new ApplicationDomain?
ActionScript Code: var appDomainA:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(); * var contextA:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, appDomainA); var loaderA:Loader = new Loader(); loaderA.load(new URLRequest("application2.swf"), contextA)
I want to access a public method in application2.swf from the main swf that loaded it.
The way I've coded it, each instance of a guy class has a mouse even listener on him which listens for a click. When clicked, I find out the tile underneath him, and the surrounding tiles. So far, so good.
When clicked, the guy calls a method in the tile class, like tile.onClick, which tries to say: get this tile, and send it back to a method in the guy class, like moveGuy. Then moveGuy moves the guy to the tile it was told.
Problem:
From the guy class, I call a method in the tile class. To communicate between classes, the tile class method onClick must be static. But if it's static, the method can't refer to "this", because it's a method in the class only, not on each instance of tile. But I need to know which tile was clicked, and send that reference to the guy so he knows where to go.
How do you access a method from outside its class so that the method can refer to "this" instance? OR, how do I find out which tile was clicked without needing any code on each tile instance? OR... how else can this problem be solved?
- click a guy to select him - click an adjacent tile - move selected guy to clicked tile

Is this problem what getters & setters are for? I don't really understand how to use them yet.
