I want to make a bunch of movie clips 295 pixels apart named "pic1, pic2, etc.." with an array only I don't know how Can I have these clips extend past the limits of the maximum stage width of ~2880 if I do them with actionscript? Because I did do it manually but I was restricted so I am resorting to trying this!
View 1 Replieswell like the title says, ho can i set the properties of a mc's created with createEmptyMovieClip , getting a real nag , have tried all kind of things , for loops , etc.
for (i=0; i<=10; i++) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip(["rondje"+i], i);
lineStyle(1, Black, 100);

How do you get the height and width of a 2d array? I have tried putting the entire array in a Sprite object, but the width and height is still 0. The array tiles several sprites and I want to get the combined width and height of all of them. I need to do this without adding the width and height of the individual sprites together, It has to be based on the end result of the array class. How do I do this?
View 9 RepliesI'm having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I'll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I've tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it's still not moving out of 0 position:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
my_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",2);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.loadClip("textgauge1.swf", my_mc.container_mc),{x_:371.6, y_:76};
Is it possible to attach some script to a dynamically created movie Clip?

How do I set the width of the array and length and set each of the values in it to the same number. This is for a game I am working on. I know you use for loops to find the x and y of the values... This doesn't work, but think its how it suppose to work.
Code:
_global.ymap = 4;
_global.xmap = 4;
for (y=0; y<_global.ymap; y++) {
for (x=0; x<_global.xmap; x++) {
_global.map[y][x] = 1;
}} trace(_global.map[4][4]);
I'm having trouble defining the width of an mc based on an entry in an array.
Here's what I have...
var arr_obama:Array = new Array();
arr_obama[0] = {Name:"mc_obama1" , Frame:"obama1", Width:"34"};
arr_obama[1] = {Name:"mc_obama2" , Frame:"obama2", Width:"143"};
arr_obama[2] = {Name:"mc_obama3" , Frame:"obama3", Width:"23"};
[Code]....
Basically what I want is when you rollover the mc obamaxx it makes the mc_bar the width as defined in the Width entry in the array.

Help needed to create Multidimensional Array from Recursive XML.
All I need create Array inside an Array dynamically from an unknown XML tree.
Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
and try to attach one into it:

Even when I give the "container" content with [.lineTo()], nothing continious to happen.
I guess it has something to do with the 'emptyness' of the mc, but how to solve?
I'm clearly not caffinated enough (or too much!) because I can't seem to place my emptyMovieClips where I want them.

Well, there's a web page that shows this effect, but I can't post links here (<50 post count) so I'll just have to describe it in words.
The flash content is a rectangle in the center, which is centered depending on the browser size. This would probably be the size of the stage.
What I'm interested in is the dynamic background that fills the screen with a shape. What seems to be happening is this[code]...
is this how i would create a mc container with positioning and width and height?

mc.height = 345;

View 5 Replieswhen you create an empty movie clip, the registration point is 0,0 as default, I read you can change this by defining the X&Y but my movie Clip's position is defined by stage width and height.Is there another way to define the registration point~?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a scroller menu. The container movieclip will hold several copies of a clip in the library. So I'm trying to create the clip dynamically since it's width will be varying depending on the number of elements it contains.
But when I try to use the attachMovie method on my newly created empty movieclip, nothing shows up! The test_mc will attach if I just say _root.attachMovie, so I don't know if it's a path issue or if emptyMovieClips can't have other clips attached or what.
var emptyClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc", 9);
emptyClip._x = Stage.width / 2;
emptyClip._y = Stage.height / 2;
emptyClip._width = 300;
emptyClip._height = 300;
emptyClip.attachMovie("test_mc", "test_mc", 20);

View 1 RepliesI have 3 picture slideshows usings XML, the pictures will be changing form time to time that's why i needed it like this.Every slideshow is inside a folder, ej: gal1, gal2, gal3.In every folder i have the images, the flash file (gallery.swf) and the xml file.I have the main movie in wich i have a container where most data shows... and in wich i made an emptymovieclip, called "galMC" (now i know i could have used createEmptymovieclip, but maybe next time)[code]I have tried various methods but i always end up unloading "galMC"...the problme i think is that if i reload the container and click on another slideshow (gal2 or gal3), i see only the first image of the selected slideshow and then and then it starts showing the first slideshow that was loaded, so i guess i need to really UNLOAD that slideshow to load another and this is not hapenning.
