I followed the tutorial about multi-dimensional arrays and attachmovie. I would like to create a similar one but I want to add setInterval so that the attached movies appear in an order with some time delay. Instead of the loop used in the tutorial I used setInterval and clearinterval. However, all the attached movie clips' _x and_y positions are the same and I can't send the information in the array to the attached movie clips. When I trace() the text boxes it returns undefined.
Ok, 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:

I have a Flash-file that loads external SWFs. There I use LoadVars to get external data from a server. When the data has arrived, I'm using setInterval to call a function that fades-in the content. But when I switch menus (a.k.a. unload one movie to load another) before all the data has arrived, Flash hangs for like 15 seconds and then shows me the infamous message script in this movie is slowing down Flash - would you like to abort it?(roughly translated). I attached an onUnload-function to the SWF that causes the major problems, where I use clearInterval to get rid of the interval and re-instantiate the LoadVars-Variable.
Could anyone please tell me how I can change the number of milliseconds at which a setInterval function repeats, whilst the movie is running? I am using setInterval to call a function which duplicates a movieclip and I need the duplication to happen over decreasing amounts of time. The problem seems to be that the setInterval function only needs to be set once, so declaring it again with a new interval value isn't an option.
This fades all my objects so on and so forth. I have a movie that is loaded into the _root, inside that is an mc called photos, jpgs are loaded into here and faded in. This photos being loaded in thing is based off some other code written by ... I can't remember I was looking to save time Anyway, thats like so.
can anyone explain me that what are the things new in ActionScript 3.0 and give me the links where this thing explained in detail.How to createEmptyMovieClip and how to attach movie Clip?
I �m just starting to migrate from AS 2 to AS 3 and i have a problem with the addchild function�.I have a movieclip with the Mascot class and i�m trying to add it to the stage using a class file��but it doesn�t do anything�I have no idea how to load this movieclip using a class file even though it works in the actions bar[code]...
i am trying to create a basic game and am having a problem. I'm using swfmill and mtasc (but I doubt that has much impact) and am using ActionScript 2. At the moment I am attempting to add a load of tiles to a set and then move that set of tiles about the screen in one go. The problem I am having is that I can not figure out the best way of linking the set (which is created on the fly) to the _root movie and so it doesn't draw.
I could potentially be doing everything wrong as I have only just started to learn how to use this language. This is basically what I do:
I create a 'Main' class that extends MovieClip and add a new clip of this class to the library.
I also create a 'TileSet' class that also extends MovieClip. This class calls attachMovie (on 'this') to add a number of tile MovieClips from the library to this TileSet.
I create a 'TileSet' within 'Main' (like var myTileSet:TileSet=new TileSet();), so that the Main class can play with the tileset.
When running I see nothing. As I said befor I believe this is due to TileSet not being attached to Main or _root. As a test I changed the TileSet's attachMovie (that attaches the tiles) to be called on '_root' rather than 'this'. This change makes the tiles show when run, but means that I can not move all the tiles by simply moving the TileSet.
I think I could probably add the TileSet into the library and 'place' it (swfmill method to put the clip into the stage), but I would prefer to do it on the fly in pure ActionScript as I think this will be useful later on too.
Thats the first time i am using this forum so I'am a newbie. For first I must say that my english is the worst on earth. Therefore a you understood me.My problem is: made the Attach Movie Clip with XML Load and it wondered me, because it worked. But now I make Hover Captions inside the first Attach Movie Clip, also with an attach movie function, Now I have the problem how to get the data from the xml file into the 2. attach movie.for the 1. path (into the first attach movie) the code looks like this._root["neuesMC"+i].xmlPfad = xmlDatei[i].attributes.namen;
how to move attach movie. What I wanna to do, I wanna attache movie clip to the stage(grey) and then i wanna attache another movie clip in to the stage( red) and another( blue). I wanna move just red and blue movie clip(axis:y) like they grow on grey movie clip.
how to eliminate previos attach before move to next attach MC..let say as u can see in my code..I just settign the interval..for 2 second..in other to attach the mc on eby one...so how to set up the code so that if the 2nd mc has attach it'll remove the 1st one attach for certain time...and so on..the scenario like this..
mc1 attach after 2 second mc2 attach --> remove mc1 after 2 second
I've built a random image generator that places 6 different coloured movie clips randomly on the stage and at any quantity that I specify. So I can have say 100 black, 30 red, 50 blue clips scattered about the screen...lovely. My only problem is that the code goes through and does one colour clip at a time so it places the 100 black first on lower levels that the 30 red, which are on lower levels than the blue and so on. This creates the problem that the last colour always dominates as it's on the top most levels. Is there a simple way to randomise the levels as the movie clips are copied? Here's the code
I am attempting to attach a slider bar to a movie clip. The movie clip is of a face morphing from emotion to no emotion. My ultimate goal is to have the viewer choose when the emotion has disappeared by moving the slider bar.
I've set a movie to appear in my flash library using attachMovie. In the movie(Red), on release of a button there is a command that removes the movie Red/game_mc from the _root and code to make it an new file. I've given co-ordinates to other clips loaded in this way and they appear where they should.
[Code]....
The _root.game_mc being removed is an instance of a different movie clip loaded earlier. The problem is that the clip that loads at the origin (0,0) of the main document rather than the _x and _y co-ordinates from the clip.
This is what I am trying to achieve but I do not remember the syntax in AS2
HTML Code: public function highlightCan() { var glowId = String(this); var newId = glowId.substring(47);
[Code].....
If I hard code this value i.e. _glow0 or _glow1, this works but this value needs to be dynamic, in order to get the rollover state working. per highlightCan();
i've got a movie where i'm attaching a MC and trying to get a variable from the main movie--i can't seem to pick up a variable from the main movie using 'myVar=_root.myVar' or 'myVar=_level0.myVar' inside the MC--any ideas on what i'm missing here?
