View 1 Repliesi want to duplicate a line 4 times, and move each line on Yaxis, with a delay of 1sec each time. I know i must use setinterval+duplicateMovieClip, but i've got pbs :-( actually, i've got my AS code on my line :

while trying to make a gallery I come across this problem of wanting do duplicate movieclips containing loaded images. Seems like whatever I do, no duplicates. My original script is bigger, but my problem also shows in this little example. The first created image in the mcClip.Holder shows just fine, also the trace and _x commands work. The clip will just not duplicate .
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcClip",this.getNextHig hestDepth());
mcClip.createEmptyMovieClip("Holder",this.getNextH ighestDepth());
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I have a movieclip, "holder", that has a lot of movieclips contained inside of it. I am trying to duplicate "holder", as well as all of the movieclips inside of it and create a 2nd movieclip called "holder2". Below is an example of the problem I am having. The movieclip "holder2" is created, but it does not duplicate the movieclip "box" that is inside of "holder". Is it possible to do this using duplicateMovieClip? If not, is there another way of accomplishing the same thing?

I'd like to duplicate a MC and give it dynamicly a position but i don't know how to tell that to flash... I'm using that code :
[Code]...
I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it. Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2 I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn't take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.
[Code]...
My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

If I have an object that calls
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
will that add 2 listeners?
This seems like a simple problem but I can't seem to figure it out. If I use this standard code from the reference:
ActionScript Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://myserver/");
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("myflv");
the video streams fine, but if I put the exact same code within a function like this:

coding, create a *******' timer to the exact time. I found billionsof tutorials to countdown to a day, but NOBODY can provide a sampleto countdown to a date and time (i.e. Dec. 25 @ 8PM).I need this to countdown to a TV show's premier. And I'm adesigner not a coder... so there has to be a FLA file out therethat I could snag and just update the graphics and plug in a timeand date, and then it counts down once I make a SWF?

View 3 RepliesI have duplicateMovieClip action inside a fuction and it doesnt work, however it works when placed outside of this function, right where the function is defined, 1st frame.

This is the third thread I've written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem. I can't really explain my problem, so once again I've included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip's borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).
For the animation problem, I've already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that?
im having this errors:

im trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip that when clicked returns a [object MovieClip]
function down(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(event.currentTarget); // returns [object MovieClip]
}
what I would like to do is create a dulplicate of this.
I am trying to get up to speed on AS3.
I am trying to dynamically create a number of click buttons based on the content of an XML file.
So I have a MC (window_mc) which contains a single button (more_details_btn). I add an event listener to send the user to a web page on click.
However. On some items I need more than 1 more_details_btn's. What is the best way to duplicate this MC and assign a new click event and different text.
Below is the code I am currently using and it is causing me all sorts of problems
Code:
for each(var detail:XML in productXML.details) {
var btn = new more_btn_cls();
btn.label_txt.text = detail.@name;
[code]...
Firstly, it wont assign btn.label.text - it says it "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" btn in this code traces as an object not a movieclip is that why?
The other problem is that window_mc.addChild(btn); does nothing, yet if I take away window_mc it does add the clips to the Stage. (I need them inside window_mc though)
I have one action for stopping video when i go to another page, and it works great. Here's the code:
function newPage(e:MouseEvent):void
{
new Tween(highlight_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,underline_mc .x,e.currentTarget.x,12,false);
removeChild(currentPage.targetMC);

I'm new to flash/AS and trying to create a flash movie that shows a frame (1) which has a 'next' button to move to second frame(2), pauses uses a timer, before moving onto the next frame (3) which then has a 'next' button to move to the third frame (4).I'm building a presentation where the user has to pause to read the instructions on frame 2 before the next button appears.My two Action Scripts are, on frame 1 :
Code:
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,next_btnMouseClickEventHandler);[code]....
It doesn't seem to like me calling the same function in two places (frames 1 and 3) and gives me an error '1021 Duplicate Function Definition' but surely that is the point of a function, that you can call it many times? I have worked around it by calling the button and the function a slightly different name each time it is used but this just don't seem right.
How to create Duplicate MovieClip if one is already on stage.
View 5 RepliesI am planning to create Dynamic Boxes, in which may contain buttons, pictures and textboxes in the box. but I'd really want to know are
When a duplicated Movieclip was clicked, I want it to return a value so which I can know what Movieclip was clicked.
How do I manage them in one duplicated movieclip? for example, A duplicated box, and then in that box is an image, textbox and a button MOVIECLIPS, so when dragged, they can be dragged also.
I have a mc that is added to the stage. It extends a dragdrop class. How can I duplicate it so the orig stays where it is and the duplicate is draggable.

i know that the problem arises from naming two functions with the same name, and i fixed that. i have also learned that keyframes mean nothing to a compiled swf, and so i cant copy/paste the code and change a couple of variables further in the timeline, i must again rename the functions. Im trying to see if there is an easier way to do thisi have 3 buttons, all 3 of them move the movie clip to a different frame. when the playhead is moved, the movie clip animates for a few frames then comes to a "stop" keyframe. At this point, each button is supposed to take you to a different set of frames, animate, stop and rinse and repeatcurrently, my AS looks as follows (frame 1)

I have yet another "I die-problem", not so drastic this time, though. I've only tried to solve it for two hours or so,it's killing me Well, as usual, I end up here, at the Kirupa forums.. and of course, l end up emptying the coffe-machine at work.. *runs for more espresso* It's an issue regarding the duplicateMovieClip function. I know how it works, and I know how to duplicate MovieClips using the function, however, I do have an issue figuring this out: Now, explained roughly:I have a MovieClip which contains yet another MovieClip. I want to duplicate both the MovieClip and it's child, but I want it to stay inside the parent MovieClip, just as the original MovieClip contained the original child.

I'm curious to know if there is any examples you all could give me any examples of copying a function in AS3; then use that copy independent of the original function it copied. I want to make an animation system that heavily depends on one type of function. Since it depends on one type of function, I cant have every single piece of code calling back to the same function if I want to use it multiple times. Is there a way of properly doing this? are their performance consequences? I'd really like to do this instead of writing several different functions out separately that work nearly the same. (plus I need to feed a set of values into those functions that are created, some being called by event listeners of course)

I am trying to teach myself the workings of Flash in CS3 as I would like to teach myself some web design and eventually work until I know enough to do commission jobs. Right now though I really don't have anything to create so I decided to make a myspace profile in flash. I created a layout in flash where I have a series of 80x80 images that are 10px apart. There is another layer where each image has a corresponding clickable button with a defined instance name. There are a total of 15 buttons but when I try and export it to flash movie to see if it work I get 14 error messages telling me I have error 1021 which is discussed by adobe here: URL..."1021: Duplicate function definition.
