View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: .attachMovie Method To Load Images
Oct 11, 2007I am creating a gallery that loads the images from the library. The only method that I managed to do this is by creating movie clips that contain each of those images and then calling those movie clips from the library using the .attachMovie method because this method only works for movie clips and not instances of other library items such as actual images.
Is there anyway in ActionScript to create an instance of an image asset in the library?
Actionscript 3 :: Assigning Dynamic Masks For Loop?
May 18, 2011I'm loading 8 thumbnails via XML, placing in a sprite, and spacing them out with a helper grid class. This part works. What does not work is when I try to assign a mask to each of these (using a simpleRectangle class I made) I appear to only be assigning a mask to the last image. Am I doing something wrong with 'imageLoader.mask = _mask;' ?
My ultimate endeavor here is to click the thumbnail and animate the mask to reveal the entire thumb.I nested the showPictures function so it could have a reference to the masks, which is not optimal.

public class MiniGallery extends Sprite
{
//create($columns:int, $rows:int, $xSpacing:int, $ySpacing:int, $xPadding:int, $yPadding:int)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Attaching A Movie Dynamically With The Attachmovie Method?
Sep 14, 2006basically i am attaching a movie dynamically with the attachmovie method like so:
Code:
for(var y = 0; y < rowSize; y++) {
for(var x = 0; x < colSize; x++) {
attachMovie("box", "box" + count, count);
[code]....
now for each attachmovie they have a Event handler, rollover,rollout, but, on the release event holder I want it to load in some XML like so:
Code:
path.onRelease = path.onReleaseOutside = function(){
//alot of my nifty code that will be skipped for elongated post purposes
//but here is where im getting a error
[code]....
I thought at first having the XML declared in the loop does make it just loop through 15 times ( length of my nodes) and just display the last XML item, but when i declare it before it, it does NOTHING !!!!!!!!!! it doesnt even display a damn thing, soon as i put it within my loop it displayed atleast something?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Transitions With Masks?
Mar 7, 2004it's possible to make transitions with masks using actionscript?i have section headers that i want to transition when certain buttons are clicked, and depending on what button is clicked, a new section header is shown. i put all the section headers in a movie clip, with different frame names, so when the button is clicked, it jumps to the different frame name of the movie clip.
for the transition, i basically want a wipe left to reveal the section header.. and a wipe right to hide it... and to do this, i figure i'd need to mask...
so i put a mask over the movie clip and realized that flash doesn't mask movie clips very well, when using masking layers.. so it doesn't really work properly.
is there a way to do this using actionscript? and if so, how? i know flash know has a setmask property for movieclips..but can you modify the mask property's size?
ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Alpha Property Of Dynamic Masks

IDE :: Multiple Masks For Dynamic Element Causing Null Object Reference?
Sep 27, 2009I have a bunch of objects that each contain a color swatch movie clip. The color swatch contains a bunch of frames, each a different colored rectangle.The objects that contain the swatch clips also have a mask layer that defines what portion of the color swatch is revealed.
When I have one frame in that mask, everything works correctly. I can change the swatches with no problem.However, I need to create different frame for the mask. Once I create a second frame with a different mask, I get a Null Object Reference and everything breaks.
I tried creating shape tweens between the frames, making each mask into its own movie clip, and putting each new mask on a different layer - but none of that works.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Masks - Trail Doesn't Resize And The Mask Still Doesn't Work
Oct 16, 2009I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Dynamic Positioning Within A CreateEmptyMovieClip
Sep 2, 2009In the current project for my schools interactive yearbook(new development). Im trying to create a grid table within a createEmptyMovieClip, by attaching a movie clip from the library, and populating it with an external xml, that i populate a few arrays too.
As of now im just trying to get the basic portion of it down. I see it as if i can create a "page" without having to dublicate the page, then i can easly do it with the multipul pages.
In a nut shell, when i publish my fla, i only get 2 images, when i should have 23, which is the number of childNodes that are in the external XML file...
Im going to attach my souce, and i'll point out the portion that im having issues with:
stop();
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Of Dynamic Created Items In MX?
Feb 23, 2004What I want is the following. Based on an XML file and one empty movie clip, I create about 80 different items (menu items). By drag and dropping these menu items you can create a scene with objects. These objects are copies of the menu items.But I want to use the attachMovie command to have control over the path of the objects. But by creating the menu items dynamically, I cannot say in the library, export for actionscript.So my question is, how can I use the attachMovie command on items that are dynamically created.

Sep 9, 2005What I have is a news blogger that is loaded via xml which uses php to write to the xml file. I have my "blogger" movie clip that loads all of the different blogger info into it. It is loaded into a blank container movie clip via attachMovie and when the user adds a new blog it creates new instance of it and moves the rest down. All works great with that.
Now the problem is after the client creates more then 3 blogs, it begins to run off the site. So what I need to do is put it into a scroller. Now I have gotten it into the scroller but it seems that the scroller is not seeing the actual size of the container clip that is holding all of these instances of the "blog" movie that is loaded from attachMovie. The size will change depending on how many blogs there are and I need to figure out how to add script to calculate that. Here is the code I have to load the "blogitem" movie into the blank container movie.
Code:
var i = 0;
if (gateXML.hasChildNodes())
{
child = gateXML.firstChild;

ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Logic - Plop The Dynamic Text Box Into Its Own Movie Object In The Library
Nov 11, 2003I can't make Flash do a gosh darn thing 'flashy', no matter how many tutorials I read, and how many demo's I see, it never seems to do what would make sense. This worked fine until I tried to plop the dynamic text box into its own movie object in the library... I've opened flash, drawn a simple dynamic text box. Set the dynamic text box's data variable to szTextBoxData (why don't text boxes just have a value property? anyways..).
Then selecting it, I convert it to a symbol (as a movie) call it DynamicTextMovie, and stuff it away into the library. Now I delete it from the layer, as I want to add it dynamically at run time. Next, on frame one of the main movie, I insert this code. (sorry for the bad formatting, limit of the forum here..)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Parameter As A Dynamic Method Call?
Jul 23, 2009I'm using the manmachine updated RPC classes to make a web service call. Currently it only allows you to call a web service method by a given specific name - ie
var token1:AsyncToken = service.myRemoteMethodName();
I've two questions about this:
a) firstly the function this call is in is written as such:
Code:
public function callService():void { }
I want to be able to pass in a method name string as a param which is then used as a dynamic method to look at on the remote server. ie
Code:
public function callService(method:String):void {
}
how do I assign this param to the service. call?
var token1:AsyncToken = service. (param goes here somehow)
b) second question is I'm assuming if I can pass one param, I can pass another if the web service at the other end is set up to receive one? eg
Code:
public function callService(myMethod:String, data:XML) {
var token1:AsyncToken = service.myMethod(data);
}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Symbol Instantiation - Best Method?
Mar 22, 2008I've just migrated to AS3 and am trying to get my head around how to instantiate library symbols as instances of a class.Here's the problem: I'm making a tile-based game with a Map object to which are linked many Tile objects. Now while I initially create blank tiles, I later want to populate them with terrain. This operation will change thus the tile's _terrainType property. Finally, I want to then draw the map consisting of its many tiles. Tiles without a terrain type will remain plain vanilla, but those that have terrain types specified would obviously appear different.
Now the Tile object itself extends Sprite, so it is a DisplayObjectContainer (k, no problems there). My question is, how do I now either a) directly assign it a library symbol graphic,following it's instantiation (if this is even possible?) or b) dynamically use addChild() to add a library symbol graphic of a certain classname (my preferred tactic)? The problem is if I have to do something like this...
Code:
var tileImg:MovieClip = new mountainTerrain();
addChild(tileImg);
then I have to write a bleedin' huge switch() statement to reference a hash table which specifies which terrain type refers to which symbol class type, which is just ugly and crap.The most logical thing to me would seem to be something like this...
Code:
var tileImg:MovieClip = new eval(classname)();
addChild(tileImg);
...but clearly I'm misguided because eval() doesn't even exist in AS3 and I have attempted it's equivalent with no likelihood of success.How do I dynamically add a graphic to represent each instance of my Tile class?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Override Class Method With Dynamic Function?
Oct 7, 2009override a custom class method with a function expression? For instance, if I want to change the destination of a button on the fly, I could theoretically type:
Code:
var new_destination:Function = function(evt:Event):void{ go_to_new_place();};
myButtonClass.mouse_clicked = new_destination;
but unfortunately that generates an error because the class method "mouse_clicked" is already defined in my class (with the eventListener tied to it). I tried using the "override" keyword in the Function Expression but that didn't work either.
Xml :: Flex - Getting Warning: 3594: Parent Is Not A Recognized Method Of The Dynamic Class XML?
Jan 26, 2010It's coming from this line of code:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == nNode.parent().@question_questionID)[0];nNode is an XML node sent as an argument to the function this is called in. The code runs,and does everything expected but the compiler sends out that warning. Do I have some formatting issue?P.S. I've tried telling it that it's XML like this:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == XML(nNode).parent().@question_questionID)[0];
