ActionScript 2.0 :: Error : Frame=1: Line 5: Clip Events Are Permitted Only For Movie Clip Instances?
Jun 8, 2002i've tried placing the code in the actions pnel of the mc; on the mc at the main time line and in various other unspeakable places... but i always get the same error warning me that this code can only be used in movieclip instances and that my stupidity levels are reaching dangerous levels. (error: 'Symbol=stage_mc, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 5: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances

i fear somebody will reply to this with:'the code goes on the movieclip instance'...at which point i will take up a career in knitting (i knew i shouldn't have given up the course in the first place)

Professional :: Mouse Events Are Permitted Only For Button Instances?
Jul 30, 2010I was following a tutorial off a site to build my title menu. I followed everything to the T and the ActionScript 2.0 is giving me 2 of the same errors Mouse events are permitted only for button instances, on 2 of my layers. below is the action script2 code
1. invisible button layer
on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (1); }
2. ECHOTRAK BUTTON
stop (); on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (2); }
my question is how do i make my button for my drop down menu work. an instance is a label correct if so were does it exist in this code. I believe its telling me I'm missing my frame labels to be included somewhere in this code the site i used was on this site

Using Movie Clip Instances In FOR Loops?
Dec 4, 2009if there is a way to use movie clip instances with FOR loops (yeh I'm not skilled with OOP so I premade mc's instead using loadMovie :for example I made manual SwapDepth function between movieclips, I have hero1_mc, hero2_mc,...,hero6_mc and enemy1_mc,..., enemy12_mc. The code looks something like this:
Code:
if (_root.hero1_mc._y > _root.hero2_mc._y) {
tempDepth1 = _root.hero1_mc.getDepth();
tempDepth2 = _root.hero2_mc.getDepth();[code].....
...and so on, code works fine but if I were to write all compares manually it will be thousand lines of code to check each movie clip with each other.So I was wondering is there any way to put those movie clip instances hero1_mc, hero2_mc... into FOR loop like (code doesn't work, if there could be a way to replace numbers with variables):
Code:
for (i=1; i<18; i++) {
for (j=1; j<18; j++) {
if ("_root.hero"+i+"_mc" > "_root.hero"+j+"_mc") {
.......
so I don't have to type all combinations D: so far I haven't found any way to do so, is there any way to make something similar with FOR loop and movie clips? I'm working on my project with AS2.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Instances From Movie Clips If The Movie Clip Referencing From Is Nested?
Mar 23, 2010It's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

Feb 5, 2009I have a movie clip that is simply a rectangle with no stroke color and a fill color of red. I applied a glow filter with a green color and it glows. So far so good. I pulled another instance of the same MC and changed the instance's color to blue by changing the tint. Then I applied the green glow filter but the glow is blue and not green!
I pulled another instance of the MC and changed the instance's color to yellow by adjusting the Advanced effect from the properties of this instance. Then I applied the green glow filter but the glow is yellow and not green! Somehow when I change the instance's color through tint or advanced the glow filter does not work as expected. What is the proper way to change a MC's instance color and apply a filter to it?
Flash :: Multiple Instances Of A Movie Clip?
Sep 14, 2011I'm creating an XML custom card game and am at the point of building the deck and making them draggable so the user can drag and drop them on top of another card.how to build the deck and put multiple instances of the movie clip that resides in the library, I just cannot figure out a way to make each one of the cards draggable. What currently is happening is the card on top of the deck is the only one that will drag, even if I click on the card below it. I have researched setChildIndex(), but I don't think I am using it correctly.
Another issue I'm having is when the user clicks the click_btn (named for testing only) to build the deck it takes a while to build it, can that be sped up any? Then once the user clicks the first card to drag it there is another long wait?
Document Class (CardGame.as)
package library
{
import flash.display.*;[code].....
The xml file actually has 64 activity card entries and 41 event card entries, but I trimmed it down to make it easier.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Different Functions For Different Instances Of Movie Clip?
May 31, 2011I want different instances of the same movie clip to have different functions.
First movie clip:
Code:
myMovieClip.onRelease=function(){gotoAndPlay(16);}
That works!
But:
Code:
secondInstanceOfmyMovieClip_mc.onRelease=function(){gotoAndPlay(30);}
doesn't become a clickable movie clip.
Yes, I have given it the appropriate instance name. The above is the only code I have added so do I need something else to get the second bit to work?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Swap Instances In A Movie Clip?
Apr 20, 2007What my team is trying to do right now is build a game. It is a game where the user can build their own bike from different parts, and then test it in other challenges.
Right now I'm at the stage where they are building the bike. The first thing I'm trying to set up, is allow the user to push 3 different buttons that will change the appearance of the tires. I have the bike on a movie clip, then the tires on another movie clip within that, and then three different types of tire movie clips within that tires clip (make sense? bike>tires>3 tire clips). So I think the easiest thing would be is to somehow script each button on the root frame to just swap out the instance of the tire (the three types are: thick, aerodynamic, and trick).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Thousands Of Instances Of A Movie Clip?
Sep 17, 2008I am trying to add around 20,000 instances of a single small movie clip (HexTile) from the library into a container Sprite using actionscript. The problem is it loads immediately and it loads very slowly, so I would like to know if there is a way to preload it? The class that adds the movie clip library symbol (World) is not the document class, nor is it referenced from the document class. I have tried dragging an empty sprite linked to World, and I have tried exporting it to other frames as well is preloading it as it's own .swf...

Feb 12, 2009I have a movie clip 'sliderMc' which contains two other clips 'slider' and 'groove'. I've used actionscript to make the 'slider' clip move along the 'groove' and display the value of the at each point in a text field. The idea is to have a slider object that i can use multiple times. I want a situation whereby I can create instances of 'sliderMc' so that I'll be able to move the slider on the individual clips and have each slider update different variables which would then be sent to an XML file or php. Im able tp talk back and forth between php and xml with no problem; The issue I'm facing is that after creating multiple instances of 'sliderMc', I'm not able to give the 'slider' and 'groove' movie clips different instance names without changing the instance names of all other 'slider' and 'groove' instances of 'sliderMc'. Which in turn makes it difficult to distinguish between the different sliders in actionscript.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Multiple Instances Of This Movie Clip At Run Time?
Aug 3, 2010I have created a movie clip which contains a button and a dynamic text field, instance name "anwTxt". In the dynamic text field I entered just the word "field" and set the the following in the properties window: multiline=true, wordwrap=true, font=16, font color=white.I then dynamically create multiple instances of this movie clip at run time, populating the text field from the contents of a user defined array. However if the text inserted from the array is to long it is simply cut off, instead of continuing on to a new line. Does anyone know why the field will not generate new lines, or have another solution to this issue?
Supporting info:
Code: Comments to explain
//inside a for loop[code]....
Using "holder2.anwTxt.multiline = true;" has no affect. If I attempt to alter the height or width of the textfield (ie.holder2. anwTxt. height = 400 I recieve the error "thats a read only property"
ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Multiple, Adjustable, Instances Of A Movie Clip?
Feb 21, 2011I've done some basic flash for my college course and i'm moving onto advanced flash and Actionscript. For this, i'm trying to build a "construction game".
What I have is objects on the right side, and I want to be able to drag out copies of those objects onto the left and have the size and rotation of each object adjustable...
So say click and drag on a circle, it puts a copy of the circle where I place it on the left. I can then drag that circle around, scale it or rotate it, or if I decide I don't want it at all, drag it onto a recycle bin icon and have it removed.
I'd like to be able to make as many copies of that circle as allowed (so maybe a limit of 10?), and have each one adjustable when you "select" it...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Populating A Textfield Within Several Instances Of A Movie Clip?
Mar 15, 2012been working in Flash using AS2 and loading external XML data into the movie. I am able to load the data into in Flash and parse it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to load the names of buttons from separate nod values into a textfield.Unfortunately, I dont feel I know AS3 well enough and am a little bit rusty on my AS2.I created a movie clip which holds the dynamic textfield and placed 30 instances on the stage. Each instance is successively named "cityName[i]" where i is a number from 1-30. I've tried setting the instances as both buttons and movie clips. I also tried setting both the .text and.htmlText attributes, but neither works. Ive embedded the fonts on the dynamic text field. Ive also tried changing the field to input instead of dynamic but that doesnďwork either. Ive been tracing things to try to debug, but havenď found the issue yet.Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
//load XML data
var citiesData:XML = new XML();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Display Instances Of Movie Clip In A Grid Pattern?
Feb 10, 2009I want to load a range of images (20-30) each contained in a movie clip, and position them on the stage in a grid (table) format using actionscript. These images will be loaded from an XML file to make updating them a simple task in the future.
I have followed a tutorial to produce a "carousel" and this allowed me to have as many images as I wished loaded by the actionscript. I am sure that it is possible to have the items arranged however one would like provided you code the script correctly, and this is my problem. I cannot work out the correct code to get the movie clips into the desired arrangement.
how to position the items in various arrangements/patterns. I do not want a scrolling thumbnails solution. I want them to be multi-row/column.
