ActionScript 2.0 :: DuplicateMovieClip- Targetting MCs Inside Other MCs?
Feb 26, 2007
I would like to duplicate a movieClip that exists in a SWF that has been loaded into the main movie and place this duplicate into a different SWF that is loaded intop the main movie. I am not sure if this is possible and can't get this to work.I have made a simple movie with 2 movieclips and the code inside of one of the boxes tries to duplicate the other movieclip using this code:
[AS]
duplicateMovieClip(_root.my_mc, "my2_mc", 2);
my2_mc._x += 100;
[/AS]
As I say I'm not sure I can target MCs in that are not on the same level as the function is called from.

im having some issues getting the duplicateMovieClip function work correctly. Im trying to create a drag and drop of a duplicate movie clip, so the clip stays in place but also drags as a duplicate clip.
The issue here is, if i use this code:
on (press) {
this.duplicateMovieClip("circle1", 1);
_root.circle1.startDrag();
}
It works perfectly. The movie duplicates and the duplicate drags. My issue is, im trying to do this within its own movie clip, and it seems when I try using duplicatemovie clip inside of a movie clip the whole thing just breaks. Is there something im not doing right here or do duplicate clips just not work within other movie clips?

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?

Not sure if the subject title really describes what i want, but its the best i could think of. Anyways, the problem is that I have a code similar to this (its been shortened so the problem is easier to understand):
[AS]
for (index=0; index<12; index++) {
frameHolder = this.createEmptyMovieClip("frameHolder"+i, i);[code]....
So basically what i want is to have the frameHolder function target ALL the dynamically created MC's - frameHolder1, frameHolder2 ...frameHolder12. But when you trace the function, frameHolder only equals "frameHolder12", so therefore the function only works for the 12th MC.

Beneath it I have a div called "container". I would like to hit a button in the flash file and have the contents of the container div change. I've done a similar thing with frames or iframes in the past, but I'm thinking there is a way to tell flash what div I am argetting. I would love to see the answer in AS3 since I'm trying to get myself away from many years of using AS2

MovieCLips inside another container MovieClip won't respond to a DOUBLE_CLICK event.I've added EventListeners for MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP and the contained MovieClips respond well to those, but not the DOUBLE_CLICK (Argh). Why? Doesn't DOUBLE_CLICK propugate to the children inside the container? I've tried doubleClickEnabled = true, but that don't work.The code:
thumb_group.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , onArtDown);
thumb_group.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onArtUp);
thumb_group.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLI CK, onArtDoubleClick);

I did a search on the forums and found 2 threads that were relevant but didn't quite get what i wanted out of them.I've loaded a movieclip using attachMovie(); and ive put it into an empty movie clip (as you would with external MC's)My question is how i will go about targetting the loaded movieclip and having it play a certain frame.[code]

I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.

I have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

This code just generates a new ham_mc where the user releases the original (drag and drop). The original returns to its starting point. I have the same code for a movieclip called cheese_mc, the user can drag and drop cheese too.
So, if more than one of these ham_mc's and cheese_mc's are created, what is the best way to delete the last one created?

I'm sort of stumped why duplicatemovieclip won't work. Or maybe it is just not working the way I'd expect. I have a group of movie clips in a container called blockGroup. Those get positioned on the stage randomly just fine. In addition, I want to duplicate that container and position it 10 pixels greater to the right. That's not working.
This is what I have:
Code:
maxBlocks=20;
createEmptyMovieClip("blockGroup",-1);
for(i=0; i<maxBlocks; ++i){

I was wondering about the performance of duplicateMovieClip. If for example Ive made a small square using the rectangle tool, made it into a movie clip, and then duplicate it like 100 times, placing them different places on the scene.
How much will this affect the performance? Is there a better way to do it? (how?)

k, i got a hitTest & duplicateMovieClip combined question. got this object that i want to noticed hitTest with this MC called daligObjekt. My problem is that daligObjekt is duplicated very often and it gets a +k in its new instance name, so when i do the hitTest it obviously doesnt rcognize it. I do know u can write +k in the hitTest line aswell but as k number raises faster then the hitTest is done it tion. I know that u can "lure" the system by puting an invisible MC that will always attach to the new duplicated movies but i belive there should be an easier answer.which i bet many do, pls dont hesitate to post itPS. below some AS code if u didnt understand the problem, u might get a hint with the code...!
[AS]
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.dalig = _root.kroko.krokoHuvud.hitTest(_root.daligObjekt);

I have a movie clip that contains many many dynamically generated mc's that have also some dynamically generated mc's in them Now i wanna duplicate that large MC .... and of course that does not work cause it will not copy all those small MC's that are contained. If I duplicate all the MC's contained this also will not work. cause they contain generated MC's and so on Okay enough blabla: Is there a possibility to duplicate the big MC containing all the small MC's ???I know Flash can't do it but is there a way around it?I had one idea of keeping an array of all the generated mc's in my MC class. This works fine but when i duplicate one contained MC i wont get it into the duplication target, it will always be inside his _parent movieclip

I've been working with flash for a few years now, and have a few major projects under my belt, but this is an issue that randomly crops up every now and then: duplicateMovieClip simply not playing.Check out the code and see if you can determine the bug:
on (rollOver) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.puma, "puma"+pumaC, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
pMC = _root["puma"+pumaC];

I need to have an mc duplicate itself under its own onClipEvent(load) handler. To put it perhaps more clear, something like:
onClipEvent(load) {
//clips duplicate itself
}
I have tried all sorts of combinations of _root.clip.dMC, this.dMC,

i've got a script of a newspage with php and mySQL (within flash ofcourse).This script got 1 dynamic text field.Now i like to create it different. Every title and body message must be together in 1 MC.So i think the best is to use the duplicateMovieClip statement.I found this code in a book of mine and changed it a bit for where i know. But I still have two problems.
FIrst of all:
All the movieclips will be placed at _x. 0 and _y. 0. And for every record (ID) i need to automaticly create a new MC.I got this code for static adding Mc's but it must be dynamicly loaded and the second mc must come after the first one.i got this actionscript so far:
[AS]
depth = 0;
for (copy = 0; copy < 10; copy++)[code]....
this code ofcourse creates 10 Movieclips with the instancename "nieuws0" to "nieuws9".do i need to place it in an onClipEvent() ? for now i placed it in the first frame.The original code i found got a random placement. and ofcourse i changed that.

I have a 'start page' on frame one and the main code on frame 2 incl. a button to return to Frame 1 and this is the problem as when the timeline moves to Frame 1, the duplicated MCs (ie pronounClip + promptClip) are still there.I have tried to unload the clips :
Code:
this.promptClip.removeMovieClip();
but that doesn't work either...

I'm trying something that should be fairly simple. I want to:- load a jpg into a container clip- when that image is loaded, then duplicate it and move it to a different position- then do a whole bunch of other stuffI'm doing all that using MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit(), and when tracing the duplicated movieClip, without fail, it returns undefined.
Code:
var detailImg:MovieClip;
// create a loader to handle loading the full image
