ActionScript 2.0 :: Location - Put The Code On The Movie Clip Itself
Mar 19, 2007
Where do you put your code in flash? Do you put it all on the main timeline? Do you put in on the objects ? Where is the best place and why ? I followed a few tutorials where all of the code was on a layer in the main timeline (for arrangement). I kind of liked that but as I advanced in flash I started having problems with specifying the hole path for every movie clip (sometimes 7,8 embeded movieclips). I find it much more easier to just put the code on the movie clip itself. What is your method and why?

When using 'duplicateMovieClip()' is it possible to specify a path and x and y values on which the clip to be duplicated ? I have searched for the duplicateMovieClip syntax and this is what I found: duplicateMovieClip (target, new name, depth).

I am trying to attach a movie clip at a specific location on the stage using the following code:attachMovie("plane_mc", "mc", 1, {x:50} );The statement above does attach my MC called plane_mc onto the stage but it won't attach it at the location where I want it to. The x parameter doesn't seem to have any effect whatsovever on the stage location.

I need to know how to make a movie clip appear exactly where the user clicks.I have a button that is made up of four separate parts across the stage, and when you click a part of it, I'd like for a movie clip to appear on that button, where you just clicked.Rather than creating 4 separate movie clips (and four separate buttons) showing the same thing, can I just make one, and make it move to the location the user has clicked?Please let me know if this makes sense! Essentially, I'd like to know if there is a code that says "Make movie clip appear on location of mouse"

how I can use the location of the mouse to control the alpha of a movie clip. I have 3 images that are the full stage width/height. One image will be in the background and does not need to be changed. However the other images I want to fade in when the mouse is moved from the middle to the left or the right. So I know I need to set a min and max value to be the range of the alpha, but I have never worked with mouse position before. I can't use the mouse over function like many tutorial's show due to images being full screen.

I need to write a function which should fix the location of the movie clip on the stage.
public function setCoOrdinates(xpos:Number,ypos:Number,movieName:S tring):Void
{
eval(movieName)._x=xpos;
eval(movieName)._y=ypos;
}
My function is as above. While I use this function in flash I only see the last movieclip on the stage which was passed. Movieclips passed earlier seem to have disappeared from the screen.
setCoOrdinates(20,200,"bButton_mc");
setCoOrdinates(530,100,"fButton_mc");
I see only "fButton_mc" on the stage. Even though I set different xpos and yposs for the movie clip.

// code to find out all the movieclips on _root
for (var property in _root) {
if (typeof _root[property] == "movieclip") {
var clipName = _root[property]._name;
// I am trying to use the var clipName to find the location of each movie clip found on _root in the next line
//the next line gives me "undefined" why?
clipBounds = [clipName]getBounds(_root);
}

I am trying to make a small game and I am having trouble adding a code to an "object" or MC. So, I drew a circle using the ellipse tool, I selected the black cursor, clicked on the circle, F8 - made it into a Movie Clip. Now, I right-click it and select "Actions" and it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it." What am I doing wrong? How do I start typing code in a Movie Clip?

I want to have an array that loops my movie clips.However, there also needs to be the ability for the loop to stop and play a specific movie clip when a specific thumbnail that corresponds to that clip is clicked on.Then, when that movie is done playing, the array is accessed again and the array continues once again, also looping.I don't even know if this is possible.I set up something that worked in Flash Catalyst, but the only problem is that FC doesn't have the ability to have a fullscreen button in it for the document.I need to be able to have the entire document go fullscreen when a button is pressed.I do not have Flash Builder.[code]

For example, I've created in Flash CS a movie clip CampfireMC, which contains child movie clip:m_fire:FireMCFireMC is an animation of flameCampfireMC controls playback of m_fire, for example, last frame of CampfireMC uses action code:m_fire.gotoAndStop(m_fire.totalFrames)And the question is how to replace (not delete/add, as m_fire.gotoAndStop(m_fire.totalFrames)will not work in this case) FireMC to another animation FireMC2?I've tried the following trick, but it doesn't work
var campfire:CampfireMC = new CampfireMC();
campfire.m_fire = new FireMC2();
campfire.gotoAndPlay(0)

I want to load the movie clips OutLines and Colorable into another movie clip, instead of just on the stage, so that I can use the jpeg encoder class on that movie clip.

I am an AS3 n00b with hopefuly a simple question I am designing a simple game in flash. This code creates an array of movie clips and asigns a picture to each one. It is a map screen. What I need is when I click on one of the created movie clips, I need it to return either the index of the clip in the array or the name of the clip. Basicaly anything I can use to tell them apart in the code. Here is the code:
[Code]...
Now all this works fine, it creates the map and assigns the correct picture and places them in the correct X,Y position and it is the correct grid of 27x27 squares. The problem is with the name, when I click on the movie clip, it returns "Instance2" or "Instance5" or whatever. It starts with 2 and then increases each number by 3 for each clip, so the first one is 2, then 5 then 8 and so on. This is no good. I need it to return the name that I assigned it. If I put the code in trace(MapSquare[1]) it will return the name "MapSquare1" so I know the name was assigned, but it isnt returning.

here is my code
ham_mc.onPress=function(){
startDrag(this);
}
ham_mc.onRelease=ham_mc.onReleaseOutside=function(){
[code]...
The user can at first drag the movie clip. When released, the duplicateMovieClip command runs, leaving a new ham movie clip in the position the first is dragged to.When I click and drag the first ham movie click again, the duplicateMovieClip runs again but REPLACES the previous generated movie clip. I added x and x++ in an attempt to give the movie clip duplication a different name every time, but this doesn't solve it.How do I change this code so that a NEW ham_mc is created every time, rather than overwriting the old one.

This seems a very basic question, but googled for long time... I have a movie clip, at Frame 3 there is only one line of code: stop(); My question is: how can I add it through AS? The instance name is my_mc, more specific, how to refer to the Frame 3 of my_mc?
Another question is the same. The movie clip has two frames, frame 1 is blank, at frame 2 there is a button. After attachMovie, get my_mc, trace my_mc, it is there, trace my_mc.my_button, it says undefined. How can I refer to my_button at frame 2? Then I can define onRollOver function for it.

onClipEvent (load) {
MinX = 0;
MaxX = 200;
this._x=100;
FRAME = _root.p1;
}
[Code]...
p1 is the instance of the movie which I am trying to move with slider. When I apply above code on the handle of the slider with instance name 'handle' everything works perfect. Slider moves and so do the movie. Now instead when I bring the same code to the main timeline to do the same, onClipEvent does not work, it gives error. So I replaced it with the code written below. Now I can move the handle but movie is not moving.

what happened in my flash document was, I created a button, "next_btn" with the following commands:
on(release){
//to remove all the splats
for (score=0;score<100;score++){[code]...
At this point, almost everything worked perfectly. Everything, but one thing. Apparently, the swapDepths command wasn't working. It was then that I thought maybe swapDepths only works on movie clips.And so I converted the button into a movie clip. I modified the instance names, etc, and almost everything worked. Everything, including swapDepths, but one thing: the gotoAndStop command.For some reason, when I tested the movie clip (containing a button) out, it removed the splat+score and finger_mc movie clips, as well as stoped the background music from playing. However, it did not go to the next scene and frame as specified by the gotoAndStop command. "s1a2" is the next scene, and "gameplays1a2" is its frame.
