ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting A Prototype Working With Dynamic Movie Clip?
May 2, 2005
I'm trying to make a random jpeg gallery with images that fade in, remain on screen for 10 seconds, and then fade out. So I'm starting with the fadeIn and I am making it a movieclip prototype. Now, I put a MC named ball_mc on the stage and gave it an alpha value of 0 to use for testing purposes. The ball_mc clip calls the prototype fadeIn fine, but the dynamically created movieclip does not. Is it impossible for a dynamically generated movieclip to use a prototype? I'll post the code below.
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function () {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {[code].....
I created the code below which works as it should using the main timeline actions in AS3 - now, for my project I need this to work in AS3 using class files (basically I'm creating an app which uses pages as class files. This is intended to go on the 2nd page.for some reason though when I've copied it into my project and instantiated it when the page loads, even though all traces say that the squares should be there - they are not! The best I've had so far is one square in the final position![code]
I'm trying to create a movie clip on my my main timeline that has a movie clip button within it that pops up a box in the middle of the site that contains text and links. On Frame 1 I have the Up state, frame 2 the roll over state, and frame 3 my Down State (where Box appears).
[Code]...
The problem is that on the main time line, the button is clickable but doesnt do anything
I created a prototype function for the Array object. It's supposed to load and parse an XML file, then take all the values from the XML file and convert them to objects, which I then want to push to the array that called the function. However, I can't seem to get it to work.The function itself seems to work, but the push to the array does not. (code below)
Array.prototype.xmltoArrObj = function( path ) { var xmlurl:String = "nav/" + path + ".xml"; var attr:String = "";
I have one movie clip (photography_container_02.fla) thats loads another movie clip (slideshow_medical_02.fla) that calls xml stuff into itself. Both work fine separately but not one withing another. I researched and found that the xml needs to be set to root, but couldnt make it work. Here is the action script that is in sub movie clip: (files are also attached)
//----------XML-------- var myXML:XML = new XML();myXML.ignoreWhite = true; myXML.onLoad = function() { trace("xml loaded");
This doesn't make any sense to my feeble brain, and I've reached my googlefu limit.
I have a bunch of prototype methods that I use to speed development up, and most of them are attached to DisplayObject or InterActiveObject. Here's an example of one such prototype:
I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort: mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code: //INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE for(i=0; i<4; i++) {
[code]....
how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!
i have this prototype where i send this mc to certain x position. But when i try to send TWO mcs at the same time it only sends the last one. What to do for it to work on two mcs at the same time?
ok I only got my flash movie working half way. I have 2 picture containers but only one is working. I changed the name on the second one to match the flash instance names but still won't work.
I am creating a button with a 20 frame disolve into a page upon entry.I want the button to play a 20 frame disolve back to it's original state when the user rolls out.I want the movie clip to play from frame 21 to the end of the mc and then become inactive.I can get the button to disolve out but the user will not be able to use it after that first roll over.I was thinking of trying to add a time delay from when the first action of the rollout occurs to when the disolve is complete.How do I include a 20 frame delay in the roll out sequence?[code]
My plan is to initiate part of a movie clip on mouseDown and complete it only when mouseUp has been initiated. This is for a drag and drop onto a UI element that appears only when mouse down is initiated.
I have managed to do this with the following AS2 on the first frame on the timeline:
I need to create an application where a number of buttons keep scrolling horizontally. For that I created a movie clip. In that I create a number of buttons. They scroll on click of a button. My problem is I changed the color of the button in the over state. But while testing the movie, the button color is not changing. I thought that the problem was due to the fact that the buttons are in the movie clip.
I'm doing a little project where I have a movie clip with 2 frames, the second frame has a video in it that's a movie clip, I have a on(release) on the movie clip, but it's not doing anything when I click is the outer movie clip stealing clicks from the one inside or something? oh, also the outer movie clip is being used as a button as well because it zooms in or out when you click it, so that might be another problem
I have a rectange shape 'wty' that scales up in the y direction, and a movie clip 'wave_mc' that I am trying to keep on top of the rectange as it scales up. The rectangle scales properly but the movie clip is not moving in the y direction. The movie clip 'waves_mc' moves from 0 to -160. Here is the code I wrote for the preloader
Fallen into another pit of actionscript. This is what I have done. I have created a dynamic text box and called is scroller, and then created another and called that scroller1.I have created some buttons on the same layer that have this code in them
I have thumbs loaded via XML which scroll using a custom scroll movie clip.The problem is that when i just click on the scroll movie clip, the thumbs "jump up" somewhat, then when I scroll (drag)down, the thumbs (contained within "main_container") scroll beyond the mask until no thumbs are visible. When I drag back up, the thumbs scroll, but fall short of the first thumb by maybe three thumbs...
Code: import caurina.transitions.Tweener; var thumb_width:Number; var thumb_height:Number;[code]..............
I had a button in scene and it worked perfectly.Then I put it in the movie clip, so it appeared only when mouse was over other button and then it stopped working.This is the code:
I have a project that works perfectly when I publish it for Flash Player. However, when I publish it in AIR (which the final project needs to be published in), selective MovieClip symbols lose their tweens. One contains a dynamic text box field thats updated with data input from the user, the other just contains static text. Other movie clip symbols have tweens that still work just fine, and other symbols like buttons are tweening fine.
How can i change movie clips apha property slowly one by one in for each loop? I can't undestand what's wrong((( From XML data i create for each loop, where my MC creates. But i can't chang their alpha property slowly. When i'm trying
Code: mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, alphaShow) function alphaShow(e:Event):void{ e.target.alpha += mcAlphaPlus;
I have been battling this for 2 days now and can't seem to find any solutions. I am making a flash Statistics chart for my website which pulls the stats from the database and loads them into corresponding arrays in the actionscript. Once all the information is pulled, it goes to the next frame and duplicates the existing stat bars on the flash document depending on how many stats were retrieved. The loaded stats are then calculated to adjust the stat bar heights to fit the grid. So far, everything is working up to this point.Now for the problem... Directly above each stat bar, I have a text field which I want to fill with the value of the specified stat. The stat text fields are duplicated by the duplicateMovieClip function. For some reason, stat text fields are not visible at all even when using the depthManager function I found in my research.[code]
I have a movie clip that is a motion tween with a shape with fade... Now I want to put this mc as a mask .. and showing a part of an image with lot of this mc's I know that I have to use duplicate movie clip, but the mc as mask isn't working
(I'm working in flash 6 due to some constraints but if what I'm doing could REALLY be optimized by going to 7 then feel free to yell at me - OH, and feel free to yell at me because there is a bunch of pink - I haven't worked on the actual layout because I'm waiting for the colors-font-realImages) I will save space here and just post the link to the dir, swf, and fla...
I'm using a movie clip as a button to show content on a page, effectively its like a new page of the website. Problem is, with the script im using for it, once the content is show, the button is still active and if clicked again, will re-load the content. I want a way to effectively disable the button whist the content is shown.
I have 3 mc's that I have placed a tween on that fades them from 0% - 100% Alpha (simple fade-in effect). The animations are fine if I test the movie within Flash. However, after publishing, I lose all those tweens in my swf, and all I see are abrupt changes from 0% - 100% alpha. What could I be doing wrong?
I'm having some strange luck in building an image slide show.I load the image paths into an array from an XML page and then step through the array elements w/ forward and back buttons.I have an empty image clip on the stage where I create an empty movie clip inside each time a new image is loaded.I load the image into the second movie clip like this:[code]Now, 98% of the time this works perfectly, but there is some certain times where the image resizing is completely ignored and the image gets loaded as it's normal size.Can anyone see why the image sizing get's ignored in some instance?
i have an issue with a flash tweening project i am working on..I am using flash tweening and i have an invisible button inside a movie clip, and i have actionscript for the invisible button.. but when i click on the button, nothing happens..
