I tried to connect a mc to the _root, with the statement
Code:
_root.attachMovie("missile", 'missile'+x, x+10);
It was linked and everything but for some reason didn't work. Am i overlooking something?
I'm trying to attach several movie clips into another movie clip. I can add the movie clips successfully . However, the movie clips start from the middle of the main movie clip that I used as the background layer for the other movie clips. Is there any way to make it located to the top left? Here is the code I used:
Code:
Layer_Movie.attachMovie("NumberTop","num",depth,{ _x: scol + (col * 32), _y: scol - 32 });
scol and srow are the attributes that represents the starting locations from the left and top. (I used 10 for the variables scol and srow the movie should be located 10 pixels away from the top and left) 32 is the height and also width of the movie clip to be added.
(I know sometimes actionscript is not so powerful to implement such kind of processes. Since I have not time to wait for the another version of actionscript
I need to create new object, but in a layer that is below the tope one. So far I tried some commands:
PHP Code:
_root.attachMovie(...);
- this one creates object above all other. Changing depth doesn't change anything when it's about objects I put manually in editor.
PHP Code:
_root.layername.attachMovie(...);
- this one doesn't work at all.
I'm trying to just attach a movie clip inside of another movie clip, and it's not working...which is beyond me. The following code is written in an actions layer within the first movie clip (main_mc). I want to attach a close button to close an externally loaded swf, and the close button has to be on top of the externally loaded swf, and it's not attaching, so therefore I can't close anything.[code]any glaring mistakes that I can't see? o.O this is really confusing, it seems like such a simple task, I must be missing the greater picture.
View 1 RepliesI am attaching a movie clip from the library with this code
PHP Code:
function movie_start(num){ for(i=0;i<num;i++){ var circle = attachMovie("k_circle","k_circle"+i,i) with(circle){ _x = (-50); _y = (-50); } }}
So is there any way of placing Actionscript onto this clip using actionscript I want to place this:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { _x += (_root.k_xpos-_x)/_root.k_speed; _y += (_root.k_ypos-_y)/_root.k_speed;}
I have tried a couple of things to no avail...

View 2 Repliesim adding some button movieclips to a swf and for some reason its programmed to always have the dynamic hovers on top, i need to add a few static buttons on top of the dynamic hovers. here is what i tried but it still isnt working
Code:
this.attachMovie("placeholder_mc", "placeholder_mc2", 1000, {_x:150, _y:200});
is there a way to attach the placeholder_mc at the absolute top layer even over the hovers?
I am attaching a movie, valled targetx it has a second clip inside it, called holder. I am using loadmovie to load an image or swf into the attachmovies holder clip. But, if I use trace(targetx.holder._width) to get the loaded clips width I get 0, which is cleary no correct.
View 6 RepliesI'm not sure if this can be done, but I'll try my luck here I've loaded external jpg image using loadClip method... Now i want to attach the same image to another dynamically created movie clip. I know i can attach images from library but i need it on this way.
It have to be attached as JPG. I know for bitmap data class and I am already using it but don't know how to attach jpg.
I'm using this complex rollover button on my site i found here --> [URL] What i'm looking to do is have this effect trigered when a second button is rolled over as well. Is there a way to target this movie clip effect from the _root timeline? I was able to achieve this halfway by using labels but I am not able to reverse the animation on roll out with this method.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a game where an airplane loads using attachMovie, with a randomly assigned y coordinate and a constant x. The airplane then moves across the screen. You hit another button, and a parachutist is loaded using attachMovie, with the coordinates being set equal to the current coordinates of the airplane. The parachutist loads but he doesn't load to the coordinates of the airplane. If I feed the parachutist numerical coordinates, he loads to those coordinates, but for some reason Flash seems to be completely ignoring my attempts to feed the plane's coordinates to the parachutist. Here's the relevant code, which is of course nested in an onEnterFrame function:
if (Key.isDown(Key.DELETEKEY)){
if (jumped == false){
attachMovie("jumperWhole", "jumper", 0);
[Code].....
As I've said, the jumper loads, he just loads in the upper corner of the game, as if the plane's coordinates are ignored and Flash attaches jumper to the default coordinates of the program. If I try to attach the jumper to the using the coordinates of something that's not in motion, it works, so I'm wondering if this has something to do with the motion of the plane.
if there's a way where you call out specific frame after attaching a movie clip.
View 4 Replies// code to find out all the movieclips on _root
for (var property in _root) {
if (typeof _root[property] == "movieclip") {
var clipName = _root[property]._name;
// I am trying to use the var clipName to find the location of each movie clip found on _root in the next line
//the next line gives me "undefined" why?
clipBounds = [clipName]getBounds(_root);
}
}
i know its something to do with how i wrote the _root.clip part.. im sure its a quick fix:this is on one:
onClipEvent (load) {
highMax = 100;
lowMax = 30;[code]....
and on the button that calls the function:
on (rollOver) {
_root.test = function() {
_root.test._alpha += speed;[code].....
MainMove.swf is doing a loadmovie of SecondMovie.swfThe Button that loads SecondMovie.swf also disables other buttons in MainMovie.swfon (release) { _root.intro_btn.enabled = flase; loadMovieNum("SecondMovie.swf", 2);How do I Re enabled the Buttons in MainMovie.swf from a Button within SecondMovie.swf???
View 4 Repliesbeen away from Flash too long and am probably making a stupid error in spotting it! (ActionScript 2.0, Flash CS3.)I have only a single scene, with a looping frame and movie clips displayed via attachMovie.Within each movie clip instance is a looping script that does the following in a certain circumstance:
Code:
trace (GAME OVER TEST);
_root.gotoAndStop("gameover");
[code]........
I have an object (with it's own timeline) and on the last frame of that timeline I have the following code:
Code:
stop();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainLoop_mc", 2000);
with (_root.mainLoop_mc){
[code]....
The problem is, when the "mainLoop.swf" file loads it obliterates my main UI SWF instead of attaching itself to a particular spot on the UI. So one SWF is replacing the other.
In the code below i want to change the _root.broj and _root.logo variables inside the function which returns values from .php file. Inside the function everything works fine and all values are correct but when i trace var broj outside the function it's still 0.
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var broj:Number=0;
var logo = new Array();
[Code].....
im lookin to make this so that the points taken from the _root.cargo are multipled by 10 and added to _root.totalscore
[Code]...
if a condition is true, then:_root.(MC with instance name that is the value of "_root.eelmine").nextFrame(); is this correct?_root._root[eelmine].nextFrame();

If I loadclip into a movieClip its fine, but not if I do _root...or alternatively, 'this'The reason I want to do _root, is the site I am working on, the previous developer on it used _root everywhere and I dont want to have to go and change everything that has _root in it.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie with 3 scenes, the last one has only just one statement on the timeline:_root.stop(), and there are not library objects neither ones created by code. Just and empty stage with the statement I told.I know I am not an expert in Flash yet, the entire design of code in timeline and movieclips are not very clear and tidy.When the movie reaches the scene three, it stays one or two seconds (not the same amount of time in each playing) and replay from scene one and the things become chaotics from there. I revisited one and two times the code and objects from movie explorer tool and can't figure out what demon makes re-start the movie when it must stop in the last scene
View 1 RepliesI'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
ive got these clips on stage and add event listeners in an array :
[Code].....
but i want to have nothing on stage and attach the same clip from the library a certain amount of times and have them put themselves into the array, is this possible?
i have one movieclip in Library named 'Tshirt' and this shape is like Tshirt.Now i have 2 diffrent blank movieclips named 'blank_mc' and 'blank copy_mc'.I am adding 'Tshirt' by CS3 code in both movieclips diffrently.After that i am masking blank_mc with blankcopy_mc.Now when i add some thing in blank_mc, outside the tshirt area then it also visible, which should not happen because one tshirt is masking the other and i added some movieclip in only blank_mc.What the mistake i am doing?

I'm trying to create a simple platform game and decided to use movie clips for each move ment.I created a movie clip for the character jump called jump_mc and want to simply attach it to the UP keypress so it plays and removes everytime i press up on the keyboard.

View 2 RepliesThe product is a maze game, where you have to navigate through the dark with a flashlight. Now, whenever I walk into a wall, my character stops, however the "flashlight" (a filter that reveals the texture beneath a mask) floats through the walls as if they didn't exist.
What I am asking, is if there is any way I can make the two movie clips attach to each other in any way, and not separate from each other. I tried applying the "player" hitTest code to the "filter" and "mask", however this caused the flashlight graphic to glitch and get out of position
i cant get it to work,i want 2 attach a ovie clip to another,so when one moves i wan the other to move too.this is what i have to attach it
