I having trouble duplicating my movieClip onto another movieClip called "Floor". I can duplicate the floor movieClip but not the item I am selecting in my scrollPane. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

i'm trying to cast a MovieClip to a custom Class that extends MovieClip called MovieClipExt
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
...but sadly returns null instead of a MovieClip converted to MovieClipExt
what should i change to make this work?
I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?
Here's the deal... I built a dynamic image gallery that runs hoizontally, and the idea is tu duplicate it and, when it reaches a certain point, use it's duplicate, so that there's the illussion of a "never ending" gallery.The problem is that, when duplicating the movieclip, it appears empty, even though I duplicate it after having loaded every picture.
View 8 RepliesI am trying to create a simple floor plan that highlights where the computers are on the floor.
1. Each computer has a name for e.g. Comp1, Comp2, Comp3 etc.
2. The computer names are in a list on the left hand side.
3. On the right hand side is the simple floor plan with computer images (or clipart)
This is what is expected:
1. As the mouse is mover over the item on the list, the computer associated with it must light up (or highlighted) For e.g. when the mouse is over Comp1 in the list then computer1 image (or clipart) on the floor plan must light up
2. When the mouse is over a computer on the floor plan, then the associated computer name in the list must light up For e.g. when the mouse is over computer2 image (or clipart), then Comp2 in the list must light up. I was trying to get some ideas from [URL]. I was able to make the image for a computer. It doesn't go far enough to tell me how to accomplish the above. Using Excel, I did this nearly five years back, by putting the clipart in specific cells and hyperlinking them. Now we want to make it available on the web.
I've developed a resource with drag and drop movieclips within a presentation.There are a huge number of drag and drop clips, so I've added a bit of swapDepth code so that the chosen movieclip is always in view. The problem now is that when I go to the next page (which contains a different drag and drop activity), a movieclip from the previous page is duplicated. Is there any solution to this? I've tried an onenterframe unload for the next page, but obviously this deletes the MC permanently making it fairly useless.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to do something that I thought would be quite easy, but now I'm beginning to wonder. The broad description is that I'm trying to load an external .swf into a parent movieclip. (This item must be loaded externally, and can't reside in a library.) Once loaded, I then want to duplicate, resize and rotate the movieclip multiple times.
The problem is that the duplicateMovieClip function doesn't seem to allow me to duplicate my loaded clip, nor does it allow me to place a duplicated item into a parent item (other that at the _root level).
i'm having problems to make the balls from this exemploe duplicate. [URL] (missing a "." after www cause i cant send links yet)

I am duplicating a movieclip on the stage in which Flash labels them in order.AKA. ball1...ball2....ball3....ball4...etc.I'm trying to change the color of all of them from another button and so far I have to do it like this: Is there a shorter way?
on (release) {
var visitedcolor = new Color(_root.bb.t1.screen);
visitedcolor.setRGB(0x00FF00);

i have this function that everytime i click the screen a box appears.
function box () {
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
movie = _root.attachMovie("mcBox", "mcBox", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

I want to have a function to duplicating mc or better to place mc on the stage in sequence, imagine, one after another not all when the movie starts, this is possible whit actionscript? I thought to try to use the set Interval.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to load an external swf (AS3) in an AS3 application, using basically a duplicateMovieClip() function from the "Tip of The Day" (the loaded swf should appear in several places in the Container - each with its own timeline - that is, I want to be able to play() ant stop() them independently); ofcourse, I'm trying to avoid loading the same file multiple times.

I have a game where you click a button and I want a movieclip to be duplicated in a certain area which is a movie clip named swamp_mc.On the button I am writing:

What I'm trying to do, is duplicate a movie clip an x amount of times, based on a variable loaded externally, not the problem though, got that working fine. My problem comes in while I'm trying to reposition the duplicated movies, to line up in a stacked order. It duplicates the movie the number of times I need it, but when trying to call upon the movie clip, which is the a=this["a"+i]; script, nothing happens, the clips don't get repositioned.

I have this script. On the mc duplications i want to onRelease get on the every box a different loadPic(x)[code]...
View 0 RepliesI have an MovieClip star with a setup var X which is set to 0 for the thing I'm duplicating, namely star
===Star======
onClipEvent(load){
x=0;
}
If I duplicate the clip a bunch of times so I have Star0....N. Is there a way to set the x value here to the i value of the loop for each object duplicated. Such that star0 will have its x=0, star2 has its x=1 and so on.
setProperty wont do it or _root["star"].x=i;
I am loading several images from XML to dynamically generated movieclips (mc_1, mc_2, mc_3...etc.). Then adding all of them into a parent MovieClip - imageContainerMc. So now, imageContainerMc holds mc_1, mc_2... etc. What I want to do next, is to Duplicate the imageContainerMc, and add both the instances on Stage-- addChild(imageContainerMc), addChild(imageContainerMc_duplicate).how can I duplicate a dynamically generated MovieClip?
View 1 RepliesIn Flash CS3 I was able to duplicate any MovieClip from an external SWF by loading the SWF, and then executing the following code:
var targetClass:Class = MovieClipToDuplicate.constructor;
var duplicate:MovieClip = new targetClass();
Note that the MovieClips I was duplicating did NOT have any linkage explicitly defined. Flash would automatically assign a unique class to each MovieClip. Now, in Flash CS4, when I try to do the same thing the .constructor property returns only the "MovieClip" class, such that the "duplicate" variable above is but a blank MovieClip. If I compile the external SWF using CS3, my old code still works. But I want to do it in CS4.

I've got a root movie clip called index that loads movieclip called all_animation.Inside all_animation there are 4movieclips that I'm using as buttons.Inside each button, there are 3 layers. actions layer has stop() on the frames after/at the end of a tween to move the buttons on the stage. But after you take the mouse away. The button stays where its supposed to.But when you you bring the mouse back, it loops round back to the original position. I want it to stay where it was at the end of the tween. Really frustrated cant figure out how to stop it permanently. I put in a trace() msg, and its definately looping round.Here's the code
stop();

hey guys, so, im going through colin moock's book, "the definitive guide", and im learning about global variables. so in his lesson he says to do this:
1. create a movieclip called square, with a square inside of it.
2. in the square mc's timeline, on frame 1, place this code :
_global.day = "tuesday";
3. go back to the main timeline and on frame one put this code:
trace(day); no according to moock, when i run the movie, it should output "tuesday", but all i keep getting is "undefined".i'm running mx 2004, so im wondering if that has anything to do with it.
I have one swf called main.swf which has a container movieclip that gets external swf's loaded into it.
my external swf is called hosting and it calls an array of data that is loaded into a movieclip that is duplicate for each element from the database. The elements from the database are as follows:
Business
Economy
Power
Standard
Each one of these has a button over it that when press loads information from the database into a movieclip that contains a textbox. My button code is: _root.movieclip.loadVariables("url to database");
This works flawlessly when I run the hosting.swf by itself, but when it is loaded into the contianer in the main.swf the buttons dont work. I believe that it is the _root in the button call that is causing this but I dont know how to fix it. I think the _root variable changes when hosting is loaded into the main.swf.
I'm using Delegates in a new project I'm working on to call an event handler in my class with the scope of the class.
I'm having an issue referencing which button is calling this handler. Since all of my buttons are created dynamicly, this is a big problem.
I'm used to using forms and components where I had no problem with this and could reference who was calling the event handler by using - event.target
This doesn't seem to be the case with movieclips though, is there another way to do this?
I have 4 Movieclips on stage, each called btn1, btn2, btn3 and btn4. Inside each movieclip is an image and then a layer above it called cover_mc.The piece of code i have here, which is located on the main timeline, should be registering a MOUSE_OVER command and then fading out the cover_mc movieclip from within that particular Movieclip im hovering over.
