Mar 21, 2007i have an xml file
<xmlfile>
<file name="numero1" />
<file name="numero2" />
<file name="numero3" />
[code]....
they can have any names, this is just an example. so..and in my actionscript panel, i have the code:
the var bit...
myxml.ignorewhite = true;
max = 40
[code]....
following this code, still in the for loop, i tried to create an empty movie clip, which loads a secondary swf, called "button.swf". as follows
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",i) // "i" being the depth
myMC._x = 40;
myMC._y = max;
[code]....
so...when i run the movie, it all appears blank. just for your information, if i take the whole ''movie clip creation'' bit out of the whole loop, it works fine. just once, but fine you got the idea what i'm trying to do here.. it's a list of buttons... because i don't want to use the list component. anyway, continuing. i don't know how to make it work. i've been guessing the problems might be with the same instance myMC bit, and i don't know how to create a different one each time(i've been trying though ) or with the depth..which still i can't figure it out.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Empty Movie Clips And Duplicating Clips
Jul 19, 2006I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Multiple Empty Movie Clips?
Aug 20, 2008Ok so basically I have a button that will create a empty movie clip and attach some things into that clip When the button is first clicked. My problem is that when the button is clicked a second time. The clip will reload itself and I need it to duplicate. So if I hit the button 5 times, there would be 5 items on the stage.Here is what I'm doing.
Code:

Jul 19, 2011I hsve a setp where a couple of classes inherit from a base class (events, plus common math). All derived classes implement the same set of methods. Another part of the program wants to instantiate any of these classes. So far I was creating empty functions in the base class and overriding them. Could an interface improve on that? I tried to list the common functions in an interface and use that as a datatype, but that would not let me use functions that the base class already inherits, in particular event dispatcher. Would I need to add these to the interface?

Aug 17, 2004I'm working on an isometric-view prototype game, and I thought a good way to do the collision detection would be to put four empty movie clips on each of the character's base corners (it's a cube), convert those corner's _x and _y to the Stage, and go from there. Problem is, how to get it to work.My character is on the stage in an otherwise empty "clip" MovieClip. Here's what I have inside my character:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var point:Object = new Object();
point.rightX = right._x;[code]....
Whenever I trace any of these, it always traces the local coordinates. Otherwise, everything is fine.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating / Using Movie Clips Outside Of Movie Clips
Aug 18, 2005Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating 'reflection' Of A Movie Clip By Dragging Multiple Movie Clips
Apr 5, 2011how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!

Apr 20, 2010My game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?

var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Movie Clips And Using The Timeline?
Oct 27, 2009I am very new to Action Script 3.0.My experience has been with 2.0 creating Movie Clips and using the timeline. My concern is after several days of trying to understand why my button was appearing as a null object.
My main timeline has 20 frames. There is a stop action on Frame 14.On frame 14 is where I've a button to advance the viewer to frame 15. This is where my trouble starts. After advancing the viewer 1 frame to frame 15, there are 3 buttons.
1)First question is in order for my buttons to work - they must be on the main timeline and not nested in a Movie Clip (correct)? 2)Second question is because I am trying to implement good Action Script practices, I've put all m y code on one frame.(Frame 14)
Unfortunately, this is where I kept getting an error about "Null Object". My 'problem-' button comes 1 frame after the Action Script.The work around for me was to insert a keyframe with the problem button and move the button off the stage.
I would like to try and get in the habit of using AS 3.0 to call Flash Objects to the stage, but it just doesn't seem to be working. Are the methods of using "Package", import Flash -"Movie Clip" or "Sprite" the preferred? Or should I just stick with my very simple way of working? I am afraid it will cause problems down the road and cause unncesassary load times becasue I've got everything on the stage - even when not needed. But, this seems to be the only way my movies work.

I have it all working except for one needed feature.The customer has requested that the creator have an input box where the customer can type their team name and have it appear on the drawn garment. They also need to be able to decide whether they want the name to appear in one of several various shapes.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Increasing Idle CPU Usage When Removing/re-creating Heavily Animated Movie Clips?
Dec 8, 2010I've developed a touch screen flash application for a sneakers (shoe) shop. It has a 'find a shoe' section, which isn't causing problems, and an 'about' section, which is.The about section is a heavily animated history of sneaker culture. It's animated via the timeline, not via AS3. The problem is that with prolonged use of the about section, idle CPU usage grows, and memory usage grows, eventually making the app unusably slow.
I've made a 'minified' app that does nothing other than create/delete 50 instances of my 'about' movie clip - it doesn't even add those instances to the stage. I've cut basically all code out of the 'about' class, which is shown below:
