I am trying to attach a movieclip and make rows with 3 movieclips each. I can attach the moveclips and make space between them but i cant figure how i can make rows...
here's the code
Code:
var gamesData:XML = new XML();
gamesData.ignoreWhite = true;
gamesData.load("xml/games.xml");
[Code].....
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..
View 1 RepliesI've a movieClip called "picChange" and inside that movieClip, there is another movieClip called "picFrame" and inside that movieClip there are three movieClips called "HolderL1", "HolderL2", "HolderL3". I use these 3 movieClips to attach movieClips(questions for game) from library. I put movieClip inside movieClip to add some animation while it loads. I used following code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<3; i++) {
var pic_mc:String = "picLeft" + ranque[i];
var que_mc_class:Class = getDefinitionByName(pic_mc) as Class;

I have loaded some images through XML and attached into dynamically created MovieClips named mc0,mc1,mc2...etc.
_loader.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadingAction);
count++;
var img:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content);[code]....
Everthing works fine. But it is shaking so that it was not looking good.How do I achieve smooth movement?
I have loaded a bunch of thumbnails into my movie and have the script so that they arrange themselves into a grid.
My question: Within the grid, how can I make their positions slightly irregular, i.e. not all straight!? I'd like to use the Math.random function to change their _x and _y positions, but within the limits of the grid...
Here's the code for the grid (it divides the total number of images from an xml file between 3 rows):
Code:
for(i=0;i<total;i++) {
num = 0;
thmbw = thmb_mc._width;

is it possible to attach the same movieclip twice?for example i have two buttons and both attack Main_Page however when i test the flash and error reads "Duplicate function definition"is there a way of attaching the same movieclip more than once? im using this code to attach the movie but when i add this code twice on two buttons duplicate error shows:
s_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, attachMovieclip);
function attachMovieclip(event:MouseEvent):void {var addPage1:Page1 = new Page1();addPage1.x= 0 addPage1.y= 0addChild(addPage1);
}

I'm adding movieclips from an external .as class called GUI. But what I'd like to do is be able to load multiple GUIs - lets say GUI0, GUI1 & GUI2 - through the one class using a dynamic variable. So if I need to load a certain GUI i can just instantiate the GUI class and run newGUI.loadGUI(GUIname); and have it load the correct movieclip based on the variable.So, syntax aside, it would look something like this:
Code:
loadMenu(GUIname) {
GUItoLoad = GUIname;
var mcLoader:GUItoLoad = new GUItoLoad();[code]........
I've tried a few different things syntax wise, and have had a search and browse, but have come up empty handed.
i have an error in my game project. i am trying to attach 5 different movieClips in an Array.but i dont want these movie clips to be appear on the stage when i attach these. but these movie clips appears on the stage as soon as loop executes.
here's the code:
var terrorists:Array = new Array();
for(i=1;i<=5;i++) {
var terrorist:MovieClip=attachMovie("terrorist_"+i, "terrorist_" + i, i);
terrorists.push(terrorist);
}

I have used AS2 for a long time, and have decided it is time to start working with AS3. When attaching multiple movieclips with instance names I would normally do this (AS2)[code]...

the movies go the next row but they stay all in the same x location
I created an array of objects aligned in 1 row. But how do I have to make that the objects appear in several rows and columns.
View 3 RepliesI was screwing around one day and thought I'd make a little line-drawing-thing. Basically it just attaches movie clips and draws lines between them using the drawing API. That was the easier part. Now I though I'd take it a step further and add some curves. I tried but the attached file is the best I could think of.
square.fla is the original file
lineCurve.fla is the file in which I tried to add curves.

I have a mc (changeColorMc) and three movieclips. The three movieclips are created on the fly (so there could be more movieclips) and filled with a color from an Array. This works fine.
Now I want to add an eventlistener for each movieclip, so when someone push one of the movieclips the movieclip with the name "changeColorMc" gets that same color from the colorArray.
My question is: How can I pass the color value from the colorArray to the buttonPressed function? Is this possible?
I was also thinking that I had to create three buttonPressed functions ie. buttonPressed1, buttonPressed2 and buttonPressed3 and attach these to the created movieclips.. but how? Because I don't know up front how many movieclips there will be..
Another thread I will hopefully resolve before someone replies. I'm making a picture gallery and putting a bunch of thumbnails in a container.

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?
View 0 RepliesIm 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.
View 13 RepliesA 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.
View 4 Replieshow to attach two objects (movieclips), with different width and height properties into the stage, with random positions,without visual colliding.
View 6 RepliesI'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.
myBtn is already on the stage:
myBtn.onRollOver = function():Void { this.attachMovie("pageButton","chldBtn",1); this.onPress = function():Void { trace("parent"); //works }; this.chldBtn.onRelease = function():Void { trace("attached Movie"); // doesn't work };};
I've tried 'delete this.onPress' for the parent mc but this makes no difference.
How can I get the attached mc event handler to work?
How can i attach a movieClip into another movieClip that is already on the stage (using the attachMovie method) and randomly place them.
View 6 RepliesHow do I attach a Movieclip to another movieclip then use it as a hitzone?
I want to attach mEnemyIdle to a movieclip from a class which I am call this. I want the movieclip to update its _x _y _rotation based of its parent and I want to use it as a hitzone for this.
I am trying this code but I am getting errors?
cName = this+'_ha';
this.attachMovie('mEnemyIdle', cName, this.getNextHighestDepth());
this[cName]._x = _x;
this[cName]._y = _y;
this[cName]._rotation = _rotation;
I'm trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?
how to atach my duplicated movieclip into another movieclip?
example, i have this cart and i'm going to buy an item. i can duplicate the item and put it in the cart. if i move the cart, the item is still insdie the cart...
Is there a way to attach one movieclip to another, replace one with the other or put one inside the other without them having to be in the library?
