ActionScript 2.0 :: OnPress Loop For Multiple MovieClips?
Apr 16, 2005
The problem is: everytime I press a movieClip, i -1(on the output window) should be equal to the number of the movieClip (ex: myClip17, when pressed, should produce in the output window a value of 17 for i-1).Please copy paste this code to a flash document and you'll see what I mean (please don't forget that you have to have linkage in the library for a movieClip symbol that you have to create - it's a circle only with stroke that has w=15 h=15).Every time I click on a number it shouldappear a circle on him. If the circle is already there it should disappear. But that's not the case. Somehow every movieClip has the order to attach one of the instances of movieclip marca_mc to myClip31.
var mcAcoplado = [false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false];

I'm trying to make a point and click game for the fun of it. I'm having troubble with the .onPress function. I've made an array of movieclips, and I want to go through them in a loop, and make an onPress function for each of them. What I am trying to do with the code below is to make the debugText tell me what movieclip I pressed:
var letterArray = new Array();
letterArray = [l1_mc, l2_mc, l3_mc, l4_mc, l5_mc, l6_mc, l7_mc, l8_mc, l9_mc,
l10_mc, l11_mc, l12_mc, l13_mc, l14_mc, l15_mc, l16_mc, l17_mc, l18_mc,
l19_mc, l20_mc, l21_mc, l22_mc, l23_mc, l24_mc, l25_mc, l26_mc, l27_mc,
l28_mc, l29_mc, l30_mc, l31_mc, l32_mc, l33_mc, l34_mc, l35_mc, l36_mc];
[Code] .....
DebugText outputs:
Pressed movieclip nr: 36 36 36 36 36 36
No matter what clip i press, i get the same output: 36. why?

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

there is something i just dont get regarding motion with multiple movieclips (from a for loop). I have tried many different approaches, and every time there is either all the clips move in the same direction, other times they only move one direction, other times when i get individual motion for each object they dont move smooth, and seems more too move very slowly across the scene but rapidly back and forth in a small area. I dont have any specific code to show, but does anyone have tips or a place to direct me, cause i dont understand the logic of it, however i want to understand.

create movieclips in a for loop.Basically I am trying to create a series for movieclips and add these to my stage based on an array of values.
for (var i:Number = 0; i < product_total; i++) {
product_mc.name = productid[i]
addChild(product_mc);
[code]....
This code works fine to add one but I can't add more instances?Appears addChild not render mutiple instances on the stage.

i'm having a problem with a for loop. The problem is that it doesn't create multiple movieclips with an unique instance, i think it copies over itself.
for( var i = 1, x = -20; i < 4; i++){
if(this['plaatje' +i] != undefined){
_root.again.createEmptyMovieClip("image", i);

Basically I have 5 movieclips I want positioned around the stage. So I figure the best way to this is with a for loop. However the way I've coded it doesn't appear to add new movieclips and seems to just move the first movieclip 5 times and it always ends up with an x of 169. Here's my code:
Code:
for (i=0; i<5; i++){
var barName:MovieClip =
_root.game.attachMovie("butSquare","r1wBar"+i,_root.getNextHighestDepth());

First of all , how can i change that "stub1.swf" to change its value like stub1.swf, stub2.swf stub3.swf etc. Also, it doesnt seem to create multiple movieclips; it only makes the one.

Ok so options is the array there can be many or one outside swf. we go through the array creating empty movieClip and populating each with an outside swf. Once loaded i want to use these newly created movieClips as buttons.
1. can i declare the onPress in a for loop?
2. how do i centre and space them no matter how many they are the will be linear.
Code:
for (var i:Number = 1 ; i<options.length; i++){
//create a holder
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("optionD"+i,4+i);

I'm trying to write onPress for 4 buttons inside a for loop.
This lines traces undefined:
Code:
trace(_root.TeachMethodArr1[count]) // undefined.
This is because count is no more starting from 0 when I click the buttons.
Code:
var TeachMethodArr1:Array=new Array()
var TeachMethodArr2:Array=new Array()
TeachMethodArr1 = ["a","b","c","b","e"]
TeachMethodArr2 = ["a","b","c","b","e"]
for(var count:Number=0;

I using a for loop for a redundant action that I want to happen across 5 buttons. OnRollOver the button rotates. OnPress the button moves to a new position. It looks like this:
Code:
for(i=0;i<5;i++){
_root.swatch_mc['swatch'+i].onRollOver = function () {
this.onEnterFrame = function () {[code]....
My problem is this; onPress I want the button to move up (Ive achieved this already). I also want the other buttons to move down onPress (this is my problem). Is there a way have the other 4 buttons move down onPress using the for loop? Or is there another method of doing this?

I am using the following code to simulate a volume control bar filling on vol+ and unfilling on vol-. The dragger is a mask that causes the fill to appear and disappear when the mouse is pressed and dragged on the volume controller. It works well, but I would like to add a "switch" that moves at the same time and in the same location as the fill, but on top of it... I created the movieClip for the switch and tried all kinds of variations to the following code with its instance in the code, but cant seem to get it working... below is the code which works with just the mask filling / unfilling.
this.ratio = 0;dragger.onPress = function() {this.startDrag(true, 0, 0, line._width, 0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
ratio = Math.round(this._x*100/line._width);
_root.volume = ratio; }; };
dragger.onRelease = dragger.onRelease=stopDrag;

i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};
[Code]....
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.

I've got a movieclip(we'll call this "A") on my stage, which attaches another movieclip("B") into itself. So it's nested.Now, once this movieclip("A") has attached the other movieclip("B") into itself,It uses a "gotoAndStop()" to send the frame of movieClip("B") to the right frame, eg. frame 2. Then it runs a loop which checks for all movieclips in "B" and populates an Array.The script I'm using for this is :
Code:
for (var i=0; i<h.numChildren; i++) {// This loop is suppose to populate my "bitArray" Array with all of the attached clip's childclips
if (h.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip) {[code]....
if there were 22 MovieClips on frame 2 in movieClip"B" , this code would still be able to populate my array with all 22 clips right?It doesn't. For some reason, if there were 22 clips, then out of the 22, the loop would only pick up 9. However, doing a trace with numChildren() in movieClip"B", it would still show 22. But my array would only show 9.I've attached a sample fla, I think it would explain my problem a lot better.Once you run it, it should spit out an output telling you how many movieclips in the attached movieclip, and it'll tell you how many clips it pushed onto the array.I can't seem to get the number of movieclips in my array to equal the number of clips in total inside my attached movieclip.

I'm trying to create an accordion menu that contains three submenus. The idea is that when you mouseover one submenu (or rectangle, to keep it simple) that the rectangles which were previously covering it will move to reveal it. Menus of this type can be found at the bottom of nvidia's site [URL] for reference.
At first I tried creating each function, which will make the rectangles move, separately but this resulted in three very repetitive functions and there seemed like there should be a better way, especially since I'd like a good way to add and remove submenus. The animation did work then. I tried to clean it up by creating a for loop that would move each rectangle but now, for some reason, it doesn't work. It is still missing some key points such as utilizing the mOver variable to figure out when each rectangle is moused over and act appropriatly
