ActionScript 2.0 :: MouseDown On Dynamically Created MovieClips (with Class)

May 7, 2010

I am working on a tile based game in which you will be able to slide the tiles back and forth, up and down along a grid.

I have created a Class called Tile and have dynamically added the movieclips to the stage in a grid like so:

Code:
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<7;j++){
var t = _root["gameboard"].attachMovie("Tile", "tile_" + i + "_" + j,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Created Vs Static Movieclips?

Feb 4, 2009

Movieclips created on the stage and instanced behave differently from dynamic movieclips in that they are destroyed when you go to the next frame (I have a stop on every frame). If I create that same movieclip dynamically then it will stay on the stage forever regardless if I go to the next frame or not. I understand that it needs to be removed from the display list but I can't find any event that is fired on a next frame basis. I could use onEnterFrame but at 30 fps, that's alot of overhead. The idea is to have all the code contained in my .as file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Movieclips

Nov 21, 2008

I have an application that I am adding movieclips to a container movieclip through a for loop and repeatedly calling myClip.addChild(theNewClip). Now I have a dozen clips in my container and it seems like the only way to access the clip is to use the getChildByName() method and cast it into a temporary clip so I can get at the its properties.

Is this the best and/or only way to do this? Does the old AS2 myContainer["theName"].property not work with dynamically created movieclips? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Root.stage In Dynamically Created MovieClips

Oct 28, 2009

currently working on my first AS 3 project. The transition from AS 2 to AS 3 has been tough but rewarding. However, still fiddling with dynamically created objects though (using a database for my site-content). Here's my problem: If I dynamically create a MovieClip I can no longer access the main stage. Since I'm using a mousedrag interaction I need a global MouseUp Listener. If I try to access 'stage' or 'root' or 'parent' from within the dynamically created MovieClip the result is always 'null' instead of what's really there. Is there an easy way to access the main stage from within the created object?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Dynamically Created Nested Movieclips?

Feb 17, 2010

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.

Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.

This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.

The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.

PHP Code:

var holder:Sprite = new test1(); 
holder.name = "testname"; 
this.addChild(holder);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Instance Names For Dynamically Created Movieclips?

May 28, 2011

I am trying to use a for loop, to place 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. In the loop I used .name to give each movieclip a unique instance name. But when I try to reference one of those instance names in an event listener I get an error. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

Quote:

var xPos:int = 120;
var yPos:int = 60;
for (var i:Number = 1; i<=5; i++) {

[Code].....

This code generates an error saying that the cStar2 property is undefined. In the example above, does the for loop create 5 copies of the movieclip starC_moov, and give them unique instance names cStar1, cStar2, cStar3, cStar4 and cStar5?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The ENTER_FRAME Event With A Number Of Dynamically Created Movieclips And It Is Not Working?

Nov 7, 2010

I am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME event with a number of dynamically created movieclips and it is not working.The swf features a series of five clock faces that the user will select by hitting the appropriate button. Each clock has five unique movieclips to that season including a second hand, a minute hand, a main character, a seasonal clock face and a back ground, again, each of these MovieClips are different on each of the five clocks. So I have a series of five listeners for each of the buttons:

spring_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startSpring, false, 0, true);
winter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startWinter, false, 0, true);
...

then the associated functions to the mouse event looks like this.

function startSpring(){
var mBack:springback = new springback();
var mFace:springface = new springface();
var mChar:springchar = new springchar();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Image Attributes Unavailable When Loading Jpegs Into Dynamically Created Movieclips?

Oct 20, 2004

I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.

Code:
stop();
// Set variable holding image folder path

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing MovieClips That Have Been Created In A Different Class?

Dec 15, 2009

I am able to dynamically create an object on the stage with a function, but I am at a loss for how to access and manipulate the properties of that object from my Main Class.

in my Main Class I have:

ActionScript Code:
NLP_addChild.addObject(stage)
// NLP_addChild is the other class  addObject() is the function

in NLP_addChild Class appears the following:

ActionScript Code:
public static function addObject(stage:Stage)
{
var myCircle:MovieClip = new circle()

[code]....

myCircle displays correctly on the stage, myCircle is correctly assigned an x of 300. But myCircle x property cannot be assigned from my main class.

Flash :: MovieClips Don't Keep Their Base Class If Childed To A Movieclip That's Added Dynamically

Dec 19, 2010

I have a holder movieclip, its base class is foo.[code]I put a trace in the constructor of bar so I can tell if it's being loaded properly, and when I drag out foo onto the scene and run the clip, all the little bars within it fire off correctly. However, when I add it to the scene dynamically, such as like this in the Main class:[code]Suddenly, all the little bar movieclips within foo revert to regular old movieclips and don't fire. What's interesting is if you typecast one them as Bar at some point, and their normal class is set to Bar (within the movieclip itself, rather than base class), it works and the constructors all fire, like this:[code]However, if you want multiple different types of Bar clips, and give each a base class of Bar, this won't work. They all spawn as generic movieclips. It DOES work if you go through and typecast them as either Bar1 or Bar2, but that means in practice you would have to try to typecast every child as every top-level object type every time you added the clip to the stage. You also can't have a bunch of movieclips of the same type since Flash doesn't allow it, so each one needs to be a new class, and have that class typecasted when the parent is placed on stage. Kind of defeats the purpose of OOP.

This seems to be a bug in Flash itself, but is there any way to fix it?You can download an example file here with a couple extra traces to show off what's going on: url... It still has its children, they're added and displayed, but their type changes to MovieClip, ignoring the base class.
