okay here's my code
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (z; z<4; z++) {[code]....
how do you turn the s[z] into something like s1 - s2 or s3 ? i just want different movie clip names for each loop..
We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.
View 1 Repliesim trying to run a loop and assign all my new movie clipswith different names. i have tried .name and ._name they dont seemto be working..

I want to create a button to turn on and off a movie clip, did any one know how to do it!
View 6 RepliesI've come a long way with this sliding menu("Sliding menu.zip"). There's only one more thing that needs to be fixed. Can anyone tell me how to get the first movie clip button ("1") to be red when it arrives? When the user clicks on another button I want the red number one to turn black. It's sounds so simple but my mind is blank.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple array of movie clips ("box1" "box6") that I have created on the stage. I then have a simple onRollOver function that is iterated for each of these movie clips, as shown below. As it is now it's working fine, but I can forsee two potential problems for when I use larger arrays and apply this technique to my real working files.
If I were to have many more movie clips, the first line of code would be much longer as it lists each movie clip instance name. Is there a way to use, for example, a for loop to include all these movie clips in the array without having to type out all their names? As you can see here, I have used a simple numerically-incremented naming process. I think the problem may be that I am using movie clips with instance names assigned on the stage and not created through ActionScript.The function as I have created it makes all the movie clips gotoAndStop(1) and then the one that has been rolled over goes to frame 2. Is there a way of making all the movie clips in the array except the one that has been rolled over gotoAndStop(1), ie. is it possible to exclude the rolled-over movie clip from the first part of the function? Here it works just fine as it is, but I'm thinking that maybe when I start using more complex functions with tweens etc it may cause problems. Or not?

I'm getting no errors on this, Go (comeback) is my movie clip which should turn up when the mouse leaves the stage area and leave when the mouse enters the stage. I know it's probably my removeChild command but I don't know how to fix it.

In AS2 I would do this:
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
this.attachMovie("clipLinkageName", "instanceName" + i ,this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
But now in AS3, I'm learning to use:
var instanceName1:clipClassName = new clipClassName();
addChild(instanceName1);
But I don't know how I can put that in a for loop like I did above..this["instanceName" +i]:clipClassName = new ClipClassName(); does not work.
The Library allows Movie Clips to be named with spaces on the end.This causes problems when exporting library items with linkages.When exporting you don't get an error, but the item does not show up in the build.Is there a reason you allow spaces on the back of Movie Clip names?

I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.
View 6 RepliesI am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:

I would like play head of a movie clip to return to a certain frame of that clip so a MC inside it would loop. I now have: stop(); as the action.
View 2 RepliesI'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

So I have created a button and am trying to program the button to start my movie clip of a metronome. I am able to have the movie clip not going, but when I press my start button, the move does one click and does not loopAlso, how do you change the "label" of a button. I have changed it to "start" on the stage and it shows up like that on the screen, but when I view the final scene the button's text says "label"

i have a main menu that when you roll over the shop button, a sub menu will appear beside it.this sub menu is a movie clip namely;shopSUB.
shopSUB is animated and when i load it on the stage it loops again and again. and so, how will i make it loop only for once?
what I'm trying to do is have a mc play continuously either forward or backward depending on whether you roll over the "forward" or "reverse" buttons..I've almost got it there, except I can't figure out how to get the reverse to loop after it gets back to the beginning of the animation.

i want to loop a movie clip i have (an swf from swift 3d).i want it to spin 4 times, then stop . (using actionscript). [maybe even switch it with another movie clip, or a button or whatever.i have NO idea how to do this. i think maybe using a loop of some sort.

I know that a movie clip is supposed to loop by default, but mine seems to only go through the code once. Here is my code:

This code is supposed to check server time every second and once the server time passes the end time (stored in a global variable) it should go to a different frame. I've created a variable cd_time for testing purposes which displays current server time on the screen. I would expect it to change every second, but it only displays current time when it loads and does not refresh after.
I would like to loop a movie clip forward and reverse by selecting a forward or reverse button. I found the following actions script 3 code on Adobe however the code which plays the mc in reverse is not triggered by a button.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI 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]

I have 27 buttons on a menu generated by a for loop. When the button is clicked it moves the menu +380 pixels. Now to shorten my code I moved the buttons inside the menu movieclip. Intance name: "buildMenu"
This means I only have to move the menu rather than the menu plus each individual button.
The code below works fine but I don't want to have to write this 27 times as each button will be calling much more than just "buildMenu._x += 380;"

buildMenu.build1.onPress = function(){
