ActionScript 2.0 :: Find The ._x Of All Movie Clips In An Array?

May 22, 2010

in my program the user can create multible movie clips so i stored them in an array. now the problem is i need to find the ._x of all of them. so i have tried to create a for loop that will go through at a certain amount of times (pending on the number of created movie clips)

Code:
for(z=1;z<=_root.howmany;z++)
trace(array_name[z]._x);
}

it doesn't work?

the array is storing the string of the movie clip
(like; _root.moive1, _root.mave2,etc)

but when i try to access it, it doesn't work? what am i doign wrong and/or what should i do?

Flash :: CS 5 Professional How To Find Out Where Movie Clips Are Used?

Mar 5, 2012

I'm using Flash CS 5. When I look at FLA project tree, I see Use Count column next to a movie clip. How do I find where this movie clip is used?

I'm hoping there is a 'Find usages' or 'Find references' feature since Flash CS knows about usage of a movie clip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Distance Between 2 Movie Clips?

Jun 28, 2011

How does Flash use Math.sqrt to get the distance between 2 movieclips? In the example the only givens are 2 points along a triangle:

function getDistance(x1:Number,y1:Number,x2:Number,y2:Numbe r):Number {
var dx:Number=x1-x2;
var dy:Number=y1-y2;
return Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
}

dx is the difference between the x coordinates of 2 points/2 mc's
dy is the difference between the y coordinates of the same 2 points
the Math.sqrt is the Pythagorean theorum

If the Pythagorean theorum is a^2+b^2=c^2 for the sides of a triangle how do 2 points achieve the same result if the lengths of the sides aren't given?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Inserting Movie Clips Within A Movie Clip Into An Array?

Dec 7, 2010

i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection

the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Random Movie Clips From An Array?

May 2, 2011

My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30 clips onto the stage and have it play until it's done.

BUT - once a movie clip is already out, I don't want it to reset or come out again. I'd like the next action to randomly call out one of the remaining 29 clips.

Once each movie clip is done, I need some action to make it go back to the "available" list so that it can be called out again.

I'm guessing that I need to use attachMovie to call out the movie clips, and an array (maybe two) to make sure that I only get one instance of each movie clip. But after lots of searching and various dead ends, I'm just not finding exactly what is needed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Attaching Sounds To Movie Clips In An Array

Jul 22, 2009

Bit of a problem with trying to attach a sound to a series of movie clips stored in an array. I miss attachSound from AS2, it was so cool. Background first. I'm making a simple pairs game where the aim is to match the 2 cards that have the same sound attachted to it. I'm storing my card movie clips in an array to build the grid (obviously lol) and I have 18 audio files in my library with the class names s0 - s17. Code breakdown below. Apologies if this doesn't appear in code format,[code]I have two issues.

1 - how would I add a sound to each movie clip in the for loop in preparation for adding another function which is called when the user clicks the movie clip and the sound plays?

2 - the grid is 36 tiles long , so to make the whole pairs game work I need to attach each sound twice, and then again I will create another function which will then shuffle them randomly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Addressing Movie Clips Via Array?

Oct 14, 2010

My Flash file provides a small number (say, 4) of user-selected �displays. Within each display, there are up to four link movie clips, each of which are (or should be) selectable. The displays have instance names of display0_mc, display1_mc, display2_mc, and display3_mc. I can address each display through an array var display:Array = [ display0_mc, display1_mc, display2_mc, display3_mc ]; as display[ 0 ], display[ 1 ], etc. Now, the four links within each display are named link0_mc through link3_mc. (Each of these is actually a movie clip containing a dynamic text field, link_txt, and a few other elements not relevant here.)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array Of Buttons - Disable All Other Movie Clips, Once The First One Is Clicked

not sure how difficult this is going to be, but I have 30 movie clips, which will all be sequentially numbered. (pos1, pos2, pos3......pos30). They will all have the same functions, with the only change being the number. I know there is a more efficient way to write this code using arrays, but I will need help with it. I would rather have 10 lines of code than 150. I also need help with writing the code, that will disable all other movie clips, once the first one is clicked. Also, not sure how tricky the javascript part will be. Below is the code i am trying to achieve, but the long version.

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. Similar to the Nike team builder am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to shape text in actionscript.

AS2 :: Professional - Loop To Include All Movie Clips In The Array Without Having To Type Out All Their Names?

Sep 1, 2010

I have a simple array of movie clips ("box1" "box6") that I have created on the stage. I then have a simple onRollOver function that is iterated for each of these movie clips, as shown below. As it is now it's working fine, but I can forsee two potential problems for when I use larger arrays and apply this technique to my real working files.

If I were to have many more movie clips, the first line of code would be much longer as it lists each movie clip instance name. Is there a way to use, for example, a for loop to include all these movie clips in the array without having to type out all their names? As you can see here, I have used a simple numerically-incremented naming process. I think the problem may be that I am using movie clips with instance names assigned on the stage and not created through ActionScript.The function as I have created it makes all the movie clips gotoAndStop(1) and then the one that has been rolled over goes to frame 2. Is there a way of making all the movie clips in the array except the one that has been rolled over gotoAndStop(1), ie. is it possible to exclude the rolled-over movie clip from the first part of the function? Here it works just fine as it is, but I'm thinking that maybe when I start using more complex functions with tweens etc it may cause problems. Or not?
