ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : Dynamic Instance Naming Of MC's?

Jun 5, 2009

I have 4 Mc's on the stage, and they have instance names 'mc1' - 'mc2' etc.The MC's have links in them (they are kind'a navigation items) and i need to change the functions of the 'rollOver, and mouseDown events', but keep the MC's the same.The MC's are referenced by instance name and given functions in the first few frames of he movie. for example

---------------
mc_1_0.onRollOver = function() {
if (_root.mc_1_0._currentFrame == 1) {

[code]...

Now, what i want achieve is to change the instance names of the MC's (mc_1_0 for example) so that when the user interacts with this MC on the stage, they are taken to locations of my choice (and the actions of another MC), by switching the instance names. IE, i want to change the instance name of 'mc_1_0' to 'mc_2_0' at runtime, BUT i want to do it with a variable from a .txt file.i would need to start with a script that looks for the MC with a certain instance name

-- look for instance mc_1_0, and then change the instance name to 'mc_2_0'

The effect would be that the user would instigate the same actions, regardless of which of the two MC's they rolled over.Maybe i could call the instances initially 'MC_1_Temp' and 'MC_2_Temp' etc: and then i would need a script to change them to 'mc_1_0' and 'mc_2_0' at runtime.SO in the text file i would need something like this

--------------------------
&MC_1_Temp_name=mc_1_0&
--------------------------

this way the behaviour of the MC on the stage wil take on the functions of another MC.should i be looking at something like this placed on the MC.....

onClipEvent(load){
//make this instance called - var = MC_1_Temp_name
}

ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Instance Of A Text Field Inside A Button?

Mar 12, 2011

I have a problem with a button.It has 4 keyframe and a text field with the same instance name "myText".I use this button in a MC, and its instance name is "myBtn".I'm trying to change myText with actionscript in the MC without any results.Debugging it I find a text field insiede this button named "instance6", so i think there is some problem with instance name.

I trying with:
trace(myBtn.myText);
and it says "undefined"!

How can i correctly give instance name to this text field?Is there any way to find out the name of the instance of an object (the text field) knowing the instance name of its parent (the button)?

Flash :: "Instance Name At Design Time" Vs "Instance Name Added Dynamically" Vs "Variable Name In Related Class"

Nov 4, 2011

Say i have a movieclip named a_Mc ( ClassA ) I have a sub-movieclip named b_Mc ( ClassB )

CASE 1: Accessing the sub-movieclip b_Mc which is already present inside the a_Mc movieclip

( Since Flash IDE has "Automatic instance naming" OFF )

ClassA mentions the name of b_Mc as => var b_Mc:MovieClip;

NOTE HERE: That the variable name MUST BE same as the name of the instance on stage.

So i can access it as : trace( a_Mc.b_Mc);

ActionScript 3.0 :: SoundPlayer - Accessing Instance In Class Second Time

Oct 7, 2009

I'm with a doubt that is crashing my project over here.
Example: I have my class....

Code:
package {
public class SoundPlayer extends CheckVersion{
public static var saveId:Object = {};
public function SoundPlayer($url, $vars):void{
trace(saveId[$url]) // here the class return to me the first call
[Code] .....

If I access SoundPlayer.Init(), I pass my URL and my variables, I got the first access, but for example, when I save this variables on my constructor and want to access again with a different call, the flash output returns like "null", like... SoundPlayer.PlayInit("myId");
take a look bellow

Code:
public static function PlayInit($url :String):SoundPlayer {
trace(SoundPlayer.saveId[$url] as SoundPlayer);
return SoundPlayer.saveId[$url] as SoundPlayer;
}
How I can access this variables in second time?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects - XML - Creating A New Instance Of An Object That Uses An Identical Name To An Older Instance Delete The Previous Instance?

Mar 20, 2009

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

AS3 :: IDE - Dynamically Naming Movieclips?

Sep 23, 2009

Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.

for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();
this.addChild(newBlock);

AS3 :: Variable Naming With Loops And Arrays?

Aug 1, 2009

I am wanting to create an array. 10 values in it (couting from 0 index to 9). Each 'place holder' will have a corresponding value to it;s index i.e.

myArray[0]=0
myArray[1]=1 etc...

I can do that in a for loop. But then I want to attach each value to a single variable name. I then want to change that each variable to a string. I then want access to all the variables outside of the for loop.

var i:Number;
var aArray:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {

[code]....

The output error is 1084: expecting identifier before aArray.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Naming Frame Variables?

Jul 29, 2007

I created a slot machine and it works properly but i need it to do more. Currently when you spin the Reel, if you get any 4 of a kind its a jackpot. I need it so if you hit 4 "7's" lets say its different than hitting 4 "Bar's".On the main reel I have 4 frames with movie clips, each having a different (chip) and the end. I have set the random() function on them so it is completely random on how they hit. So my question is...how do I set a variable name for the frames so I know that frame 1 is a "bar", frame 2 is a "7", frame 3 is a "cherry" and so on. That way when I write the "if" statements, I can compare them so a "7" is better than a "bar".
