ActionScript 2.0 :: Empty Movie Clips And Duplicating Clips

Jul 19, 2006

I'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 3.0 :: Duplicating The Movie Clips?

Feb 2, 2010

i know i can duplicated a movie clip by using addChild:

Code:

var myMC:MovieClip = new blank_character;
this.addChild(myMC);
myMC.x = 200;
myMc.y = 200;
etc...

Im making somewhat of an online multiplayer game, it loops through an XML file full of character co-ords and names etc and creates movie clips and positions the characters on the screen accordingly.

The characters are pulled out from the library once, and then after that i want to access the movie clips within the characters.
for example, in the root timeline i have all the characters, inside the characters i have movie clips containing their clothing, names, etc, that i want to be able to edit.But im having troubles referencing the movie clips and doing this.

I've tried things like

Code:

var myMC:MovieClip = new blank_character;
this.addChild(myMC);
myMC.name = "character"+characterID;

[code]....

1119: Access of possibly undefined property clothing through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Loading External Movie Clips And Duplicating Them

Jun 7, 2010

I'm trying to create a user customisable touch screen interface - in which people can include their own button styles (currently created as movie clips). I have a working XML file that names the style / external swf name for each button but I don't seem to be able to then duplicate that movie clip for say use in 10 separate buttons. When I try this only the last one created is displayed. I can of course separately load the file 10 times but that is yuk.

I hope to be able to position the timeline through n states in each loaded clip independently and also have one click handler that can return me an identifier of which was clicked - I know how to loop/create dynamic instance names.

<edit> I can do this successfully from the library - just not as an external file load - where the MC won't be in the library at all.

Code:
//Initialize variable to hold target data
var targetClip:MovieClip;
//********* Add a "MovieClip" variable that will reference the root of the loaded clip:**********

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Duplicating Clips In A Grid Fashion?

Jan 28, 2004

Well i want to duplicate clips so they are in a grid fashion. I thought about something similar to this tutorial:[URL]..

But for that, you can't have for example, 27 of the same clips. It will always be 25, 30, 35 - depending on your i and j values of course.

So the question is how can you chagne the code from the tutorial, so the grid isn't actually a grid. In other words, have 5 clips in row 1, 5 clips in row 2, but 2 clips in row 3.

on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);

but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Attaching Movie Clips To Already Attached Movie Clips?

Jun 5, 2011

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.

Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.

Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?

Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details

code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating / Using Movie Clips Outside Of Movie Clips

Aug 18, 2005

Here'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 2.0 :: Duplicating A Movie Clip With Dynamic Content

I have created an application that lets the user dynamically edit the content of an online greeting. I want the application to be able to duplicate the edited greeting 4 times, so the printed page will contain 4 exact duplicates.

I tried using duplicateMovieClip, but it would not duplicate the dynamic content edited on runtime.

I was able to use attachBitmap and "capture" the screen content, only to find out the resolution of the duplicates was far from being acceptable (I guess because screen resolution is only 72 dpi, and I need it to print nicely).
