ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Is A Prototype Or Function That Will Allows For Multiple Instances On That Stage?
Apr 25, 2007
I'm having issues with something wanted to accomplish involving qued amations that i can reuse in various situations throughout an application...
Basically, what I'm trying to get is a prototype or function that will allows for multiple instances on that stage that start at a specific x/y and size, animate to a specific x/y size and end at a specific x/y and size... the x/y and size information is defined for each of the instances in the function.
A good place for this would be with buttons... check the sloppy diagram attached.

I have a movieclip that gave a class name and set everything to export into action script. Now, I would like to put multiple instances of that same movieclip on the stage. I would also like to be able to keep track of them individually. Would I need to do something like create a for loop and have it run however many times i want that movieclip onstage? If I did that, how would I be able to manage them? Would I also give them names in the for loop and have a var that goes ++ every time it loops, then attach that var to the end of the name I give it.

I understand how to import a swf and add it to the stage. Is it possible (using code) to add the one imported swf to the stage multiple times, each with different instance names? So the same as adding a library item to the stage multiple times, each time with a different instance name, with code, but using an imported swf?

I'm creating a game in ActionScript 3.0 using the FlashPunk game engine and the FlashDevelop SDK. I've created my own MovieClip class that takes a preloaded movie clip file.
public function MyMovieClip(file:MovieClip, posX:int, posY:int, frameRate:int)
{
movieClip = file;
[Code]....
The problem that I'm having is that when I have multiple instances of the MyMovieClip class using the same swf file, only the last instance is rendered and is updated for each instance of the class that I have.(e.g 3 instances of MyMovieClip, the last instance is updates at 3 times the speed.)

I'd like to create a chain of objects (either movie clips or sprites) that move left to right across the stage continuously. I know I can create two movie clips that contain a series of several 'chain links' and are each a little wider than the stage width. Then I can move both clips across the stage and when the first movie clip is completely off stage reset its x position back to 0. Likewise, when the second clip is completely off the stage on the right, reset it's position off the stage to the left.
This works and gives me the basic effect that I want by creating this uninterrupted moving chain, but it doesn't seem like its the most efficient way to achieve this. What I thought would be more efficient would be to create each link in the chain separately from an individual mc in my library by programmatically adding new instances to the stage.So, I created a single chain link mc and set its export linkage to 'Link' and left the base class to flash.display.MovieClip. Next, I placed the following snippet of the code on the first frame of my movie:
Code:
var xPos:int = 0;
var yPos:int = 100;

i have 4 flvplayback components on stage loading 4 different videos. How do i sync them?
I have ensured they are all fully buffered i.e fully loaded and then play them all at once. But they keep getting out of sync. I.e i am checking the sync with the playheadtime. I had written an timer/enterframe event to check for out of sync at and pause and seek times to the fastest playing player . But this happens for every second. i keep gettting a very jittery video with breaking sounds due to the constant pause /seek / play cycle.
How can we sync multiple flvplayback videos properly.

I've got this on the timeline of an MC:
_root.seQ1MC.b_seQ1yes.onRelease = function(){
tickVar = _name;
//trace("local tickVar = " + tickVar);
//trace("this tickVar value = " + _root[tickVar]);
[code]....
I want it to act on all the instances of the movieclip it is contained within. It is only acting upon the last of the instances that was loaded or had focus... I'm clearly missing something or am trying to achieve something that isn't capable of working...

I imagine this has been asked before but forgive me, the search feature seems not to be working for me; and despite working, google search isn't helping much either.I simply would like to apply the exact same action to multiple buttons without re-writing the same thing (n) times. For example: I have 8 or 9 buttons that on mouseOver and mouseOut will have performed identical functions, though the graphics in their corresponding keyframes may or may not be discrete from one another.So, is there a short way to write this, like say (imaginative I know...):[code]

I hacked together a bunch of code I've found throughout the most excellent Kirupa and added a bunch of stuff myself.(Mad props to Scotty and Seniculor (sp?) btw)Everything I added works except the rollover function for multiple MC's that are created when the gallery generates.I want the buttons to continue fading out after rollout.Once you roll in to another MC the rollout function stops.It should work like a "wave" effect when you roll over all the buttons quickly.I've played around with local variables, deleting enterframes, etc. etc. but just can't get anything to work.I only included applicable code so please ignore any extra "}" I may have left in there when I pasted.[code]

i'm rockin' with creating prototype classes, however, i've run into something i can't explain when i am trying to call my prototype classes--in this case, i have a prototype class called interfaceClass, which contains several class functions--i've also created an instance of the class, called 'ui':
interfaceClass.startGame=function(){
trace("startGame");
ui.resetGame();

I have an arbitrary number of object instances on the stage. At any one given time the number of objects may be between 10 and 50. Each object instance can move, but the movement is gradual, the current coordinates are not predictable and at any given moment I may need to retrieve the coordinates of a specific object instance. Is there a common best-practice method to use in this case to track object instance coordinates? I can think of two approaches:
I write a function within the object class that, upon arbitrary event execution, is called on an object instance and returns that object instances coordinates.
Within the object class I declare global static variables that represent x and y values and, upon arbitrary event execution, the variables are updated with the latest values for that object instance.

I'm using this AS to load multiple external images into mc instances on a stage, using different loaders.[code] The external images always load from the upper left corner down, how can you make the image load from the center of the instance on stage?I found this code below and doubt it will work for me since I have 5 mc instances on different parts of the stage, so the stage wouldnt be a good reference point.[code]

add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?

I'm trying to make my first prototype, but I can't put it to work, I wanted to atribute a property to a variable, so I could call the prototype on to the movie clip, asking for any property, without having to change the prototype code.Is it possible?Here is my code so far:
MovieClip.prototype.multProp = function (proper,targetv, smooth) {
this.proper -= (this.proper-targetv)/smooth;
};[code]...
but it doesn't seem to work.

The function is called on release of a movieclip. I'm making a drag a drop navigation and there are two content windows .. "h1" and "h3".
I don't think there's anything(much) wrong with my code itself, I'm just having trouble with calling anything within h_ins.onEnterFrame. Is there a fundamental issue that I'm not aware of? Below are all the details if you're interested.

I have tried the same commands for onClipEvent (mouseUp) aswell!
Do I need to add something in the MovieClip.prototype.play2 = function???, or what is the correct approach.

I have this prototype function:
[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.moveRight = function() {
// when it enters the frame
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
oldx = newx;
// if timelineMC._x less than or equal to howFarRight
if (timeline._x<=howFarRight) {
[Code] .....
Which works great except that it scrolls the whole thing all at once. Is it possible to put some kind of increment in there so that on a key press it only moves a certain amount of pixels?

I found a cool prototype function here in the forums that plays a movieclip backwards:[code]I have the protoype defined on the main timeline of my main file. I call the function on press of a button from an external movieclip after it's loaded into main.When testing it in flash it works beautifully. When I test it online it doesn't work at all. Other code on the button being called at the same time does work (like unloading a movieclip on the main timeline).

I'm trying to create a function that will help me fade in sounds with the help of setInterval. I'm almost there! Here is the code so far:
// Begin
melodyhalf1 = new Sound("melodyhalf1_mc");
melodyhalf1.attachSound("melodyhalf1");
melodyhalf1.start(0, 99);
[Code]....
I placed a comment in the Sound.prototype.fadeIn to test if it was being called, as well as to see if the melodyhalf1 variable (object?) was being passed.
The results are that the fadeIn function *is* being called, but the trace(this) comes back with 'undefined'.

Ok so here is my XML slideshow Actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?

Code:
function dropbox():Void {
//trace(me);
this.attachMovie("box","box"+Math.random()*300,this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x: _root.one.me._x-25, _y: _root.one.me._y});

As you can see, after all the items in the Carousel have loaded, a function called fadeItemIn() is called which displays each of them one by one. I am looking to call a small "swoosh" particle effect flv I made in AfterEffects so that as each item tweens in, it instead looks like it is sparkling in from the left.
The problem I have is that using the code below, the swoosh.flv file tends to freeze before it finishes. In this case the swooshIn() function is called three times because there are three items being loaded into the Carousel.
I am wondering why the FLV freezes when multiple instances of it are loaded through AS3 using NetStream.
Code:
private function fadeItemIn(item:CarouselItem):void {
trace("fadeItemIn");
this.tweens.push(new Tween(item, "altitude", Regular.easeOut, item.altitude, 2.5, 0.50, true));
[Code].....
