ActionScript 2.0 :: Attach A MC From Library Called "test" To A Movieclip?
Nov 2, 2006
Code:
function myFunction(myMC) {
myMC.attachMovie(myMC, myMC, getNextHighestDepth());
}
myFunction(test); I want this to attach a MC from my library called "test" to a movieclip holder called "test" on the canvas and have it named test. In the end, the instance path would be _root.test.test.
The problem is myMC (the one right after the first parenthesis) is not populating correctly because it is not being read by Flash properly. The typeof myMC is movieclip. I can String(myMC), but still no hope. How do I get this done?
Im trying to create an inventory where when you click an object it will automaticly go into your inventory, the inventory is embedded in other movieclips.I have quite a few spaces(movieclips) in the inventory box when it is open but I just need it so when you click an object it attaches to a movieclip in the inventory.I also need it so that if you click a different item it attaches to the next space in the inventory rather than overlapping an item you have clicked before. I would only have only about 15 (or something similar) spaces so if I have clicked 16 items the 16th item cannot go into the inventory.
EDIT: revised question. how do I do this when I have loaded an external swf into my main movie. I use this method to load library assets from the external swf files library.Code: Select allvar LibraryAsset_Class:Class
I've started trying to get into AS2 and all of a sudden, I don't know how to attach a movieclip from a document's library to the stage! The debugger's saying that attachMovie isn't a method. Just to clarify, I have an external as file which is defining a class and in that class, I want to attach a movie from the library to the stage.
I wanted to attach movieclip(btn_select) from my library to the stage (movieclip:container) by XML so here's my code.. here's my loading of xml... Note: portXML.childNodes[0].childNodes.length; is 3
When you attach a movieclip taken from the symbol library to the Stage, by using the attachMovie function and its Linkage name, do you have to - previously - place a dummy instance of the mc anywhere on that Stage to get it works ?
I've used MovieClipLoader to load a movieclip into my holder. Everything works out fine, the mc loads and it's all good. But then, inside the loaded mc I use attachMovie to attach a movieclip from the library of the holder. It won't attach, but it will attach if I re-create the specific mc in the loaded mc's library. Does anyone know how to get around this?
point me to anything which will help me dynamically attach movieclips from the library into one main movieclip, which then I can duplicate it many times..You see, what happens with duplicateMovieClip,is that it duplicates the main movieclip itself, without taking its contents..I want to take the contents too. The only way I can imagine this could work, was if I could take a 'snapshot' of the movieclip and keep it as a bitmap, from which this could be duplicated - because I dont need the movieclip and its contents to contain code or have any animation playing. I just want it as an image, so I can create a pattern from..
I am randomly calling images in flash from an xml file--now I need to attach a URL to the image.. randomly. The URL needs to be paired with the correct image. Right now the Image and Thumbnail Image are attached.
I'm trying to use OOP to code a slider -- Basically I want to attach the AS class to a movie called mc_slider and within that MC will be mc_knob and mc_track I have the code and kind of know where i need to go But I don't undestand how I say something like this.knob_mc.onPress when the syntax i'm supposed to be using is function onPress(){}
i have a for loop which increments a variable 'i' and then adds this variable to a string called 'test' like so..[code]however this does not work, it wont seem to add the variable 'i' when i trace (test). All i get is undefined?
I have a mc call mcA which visible and invisible alternatively on stage. I want to attach 10 mc (mc1-mc10) in library with this mcA. When mcA is visible it will attach mc4 in library then it is invisible again. The next time it is visible, it attach let say mc7 and so on, we do not know which mc it will attach in the next session it is visible.
how I can attach an image that's in the library to a movie on the stage...? I've tried using the attachMovie command. It looks straight forward enough, but I can't seem to get it to work.
- Have a Flash movie that has images 1.jpg, 2.jpg... 10.jpg in the library.
- I then want to be able to create a new version of the file and replace the images and have them automatically picked up in the resultant SWF. Currently, I'm having to open up the Flash file, edit each of the movies where the image is and replace the image. This can be time consuming.
I am using attachSound to attach multiple sound through the library into different variables. But when I try to use setVolume, I get the same volume for all the sounds playing at that time.
i am calling a movieClip from the library dynamically and want to load an image into the movieClip.here is the code so far, i am not sure how to reference the movieClip to add the image to it.
Code: function callVidThumbs():void{ for (var i = 0; i < ttlVids; i++){
I just tried everything to do embedFonts work correctly in CS5. In Flash CS4 there was no any problems with this. The TextField is created in AS3, I got new font called Sunset inside library and embedFonts set to true, but nothing works, there is no errors and the text is still invisible
i try to migrate from as2 to as3 and i have one problem When i attachMovie from library (addChild in as3) and i add custom property its work fine.Here is ex.
Code: var i:int; for (i=0; i<5; i++)[code]....
when i attach to that symbol custom class in the library.i got the error: #1056:Cannot create property...
I am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?
A can't seem to get this creating movieclip thing, or attach movieclip. What I want is when a certain button is pressed, a MC in the library is created on the work area, at the mouse location and will continue to follow the mouse untill it is clicked. Once clicked, it stops dragging, but if clicked again, another MC on the screen will gotoAndStop(2); and so on. I have most of the script idea down. But I can't seem to get the create new MC to work.
I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?
I'm trying to use attachMovie to attach a movieclip to another movieclip. Both the movieclips are set up as buttons (ie. they have _up, _over, _down, _hit states). The problem is if I define event handlers for both mcs, only the event handler on the parent clip works.
