the following code won't display the new instance's position and instead report "undefined"?
Code:
row = column = 0;
for (i=0; i<30; i++) {

Is there something in actionscript that allows you to get an mc's instance name or a way to make an mc report it's instance name?
For example something nice and easy like this would be: this._whatIsMyInstanceName
I would like to build something like the following into an mc I'm using that is being attached in multiple instances:
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){
_parent.changeTheColourOfThisMCWithoutKnowingItsInstance(this._whatIsMyName);
}
After dragging many MovieClips/Components onto the stage, how can I generate a report (or display on screen)by listing the names,parameters, values of all the movie clips/ components dragged on the stages?

I have a named movieclip instance coming up undefined in AS2/CS3. the movieclip is on the stage, and I am having trouble accessing it from actionscript. does anyone have any ideas what might be causing the problem?

View 1 RepliesHow can I obtain the position of a instance whose name is stored in an variable? If there is a instance whose name I don't know, but the instance's name is store in an variable x. How can I obtain its position?
View 4 Repliesi'd like to count and get position of instance of the same type in the stage.
i have tried:

but it says access to property _root undefined, and instanceof deprecated
basically, I am trying to create an instance at the correct position. I understand that I will have to utilize globalToLocal() and/or localToGlobal() to get relevant positions, but for some reason, I can't position the instance at the correct location. here is the codes:
parent class:
Code:
//create bullet
bulletList.push(new Bullet(100, 100));
addChild(bulletList[bulletList.length - 1]);
Bullet class:
Code:
x = localToGlobal(new Point(pX, pY)).x;
y = localToGlobal(new Point(pX, pY)).y;
pX and pY are the arguments for the Bullet Class. When I do this, it is shifted over 100, so the absolute position being x = 200, y = 200, and the local position being x = 100, y = 100.
I have an instance, hero linked to class Hero.as, and enemy instances "enemy1", "enemy2", "enemy3", each linked to Enemy.as class. From inside the Enemy.as class I would like to know the position of the hero instance and be able to move them accordingly towards the hero. If I was working from within the document class I could do something like hero.x and hero.y to get the x and y position of the hero.

I'm currently dealing with a very annoying problem, for which I can't find any solution, because - as I think - it does not result from a AS coding mistake but more or less has to do with the rendering of the swf.I am generating a seamless tileable stripe out of a few symbols. Then I am creating an endless animation that scrolls that stripe up. The scrolling is implemented as follows: I'm creating a second BitmapData of 500pxl height, that with every frame scrolls all its pixels 10 pixels downwards and then copies the 10 "missing" pixels at the top from the appropriate position of the prepared seamless tileable stripe.
During the animation there seems to be (at least on less performant systems) some kind of flickering (stripes tthat look like the animation wouldn't use a seamless tileable stripe - ALTHOUGH IT DEFINITLY DOES!!!)...The only guess I have - that it could result from a unsynchronized rendering of the swf..To the right you see a section of the prepared seamless tileable stripe from which these 10 pxl sections are copied.
What it says on the tin: I have an XMLList, and I want to find where in it a particular XML item falls. First index is good enough for my purposes. Note that I have no problem writing a function to do this by hand... but I was hoping that the API has something buried somewhere that'll do it for me. I didn't see it, though.

View 2 RepliesI've been learning AS3 lately and am trying to put together an interactive map. I've brought in some map data and converted it to individual movie clips, each of which has an instance name that I'd like displayed when each clip is clicked on. ideally an informational box would appear with the name of the clip and some other info that I've specified.
What do I need to script so that if one clicks on a movie clip, the instance name is displayed?

A display object container on the stage has some bitmap images of sizes 50x50 arranged in a order one by one. Now if i click on any of the thumbnail image (bitmap) the entire container should move and position itself so that, the bitmap image clicked is placed in the center of the stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a website i designed which contains buttons that navigate the user to different points on the timeline using frame labels. when they get to the appropriate frame label, they are presented with a movieclip containing two layers. The bottom layer is a map, and the upper layer is a collection of printer buttons that have a tooltip component on them that show you detailed printer info on mouse over and takes you to the printer remote ui on release. each button has a unique queue name for the appropriate printer as its instance name (ex. itm100_btn). Here's the jist... I want to be able to place a dynamic text box near the printer button and using action script have it display the printer queue name automatically simply based on the button its targeting, or even placing the dynamic txt box inside the printer button mc. See, on some pages, there are like 24 printers... I DREAD having to put all these names in manually as there are like 150 printers total

For an example like above, it's simple enough to create a new instance with a different name and just add it to the display list. But I have a list of objects I would like to clone as a group...?
