I'm trying to do a demo with a fastforward button and a rewind button that will go to the next scene and previous scene...however, due to the format that my predecessor created used...I'm stuck with alot of scenes. The navbar (ff and rewind buttons) is in a .swf file called main. The actual demo is in demo3.swf. I created a loader scene to redirect to the correct scene (when ff and rewind are hit), but I'm not sure how to pass the variables needed from the main movie.
View 4 RepliesMake things very simple, I need to pass variables between different movie clips (.swf's) on my main movie. It seems as tho my variables are only local, not global, i just need to know how to initialize global variables, and how to use the global variables in my other swf's.
View 14 RepliesIt seems like the random variables in my duplicated movieclips are all the same, any way to change this? To explain a bit more in detail: I got a movieclip with a few random variables and actions and I duplicate this movieclip and want the duplicate to have different random variables than the first one, but it gets identical ones.

how to duplicate movie clips which allow me to drag every movie clip duplicated.
View 4 RepliesI have attached a duplicate movie script action on a button to create a new copy of the clip (F900) with each press. This seems to work well; however, I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to create the script to remove the duplicated movie clipHere is the script I am using for the duplication and I did also attach the fla file:on (release) { _root.F900.duplicateMovieClip ("F900_"+"x", x ); setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _x, 300);setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _y, 200); x++;}Once I figure this out I would like to add different aircraft to it but that is not terribly important right now.

View 5 RepliesWhen you duplicate a movieclip or generate one through AS hittest will allways return true. I tried to make a selection script,by putting the code below into the frame. It makes a rectangle to select charclip movieclips (duplicated and numbered, therefor the for loop) to select them, like when you select icons on a desktop. Unfortunately, it will select all charclips wether theyre inside the rectangle or not. I tried to confirm this behaviour by making a simple hittest script like the one discribed on the kirupa actionscript tutorial, with a moviecript and a duplicated one. The moviescript was detected when it actually hit it, the duplicated one was detected all the time. How do I circumvent this? Should I ducplicate in an existing movieclip or something?

I used a tutorial from here, that creates snow, and changed it up a bit so that it now creates fizz in a soda. however I'm running into a snag.Is there any way to mask duplicated movieClips so that they only show up in a certain area? Or some way to set parameters to accomplish the same effect? (i.e. I want the bubbles to only appear in the area of the cup, and not all over the place).Right now I have just set X and Y values to do this, but the cup is angled and not square, so it doesn't looks quite right.I have tried setting a mask on a layer above which the duplicated movie clip sits, and also have tried setting the depth of a mask_mc so that it is well above any of the layers that the bubbles are generated on (by use of a for() loop), but nothing works.
View 2 RepliesI've created a tsunami menu made up of duplicated menu items. Each menu item should have a rollover and selected state of 240% which works fine. When a menu item has been selected it jumps to another frame but until the user interacts with it it should loop through the different categories.My problem is that I can't get the menu items to scale big while it is looping through the different categories on the matching category frames.

View 4 RepliesHow do I change the y position for the duplicated movie clips I have created?
This is the code I have used to create the movie clips.
var i = 1;
while (i <= 5){
duplicateMovieClip("bar", "bar" + i, 0);
i++;
}
PHP Code:
pressed = false;bookArray =["0","1","2","3","4"];for (j=0;j < bookArray.length; j++){_root.shelf.attachMovie("book1","book"+j,_root.shelf.getNextHighestDepth()) _root.shelf["book" +j]._X = (j * 30); _root.shelf["book" +j]._Y = -6;_root.shelf["book" +j].id = j;_root.shelf["book" +j].onRelease = function () if (!pressed){ moveBooks(id,40); trace ("clicked on: " + id);}}
Now, the duplication works great, all books get placed well, BUT I'm having trouble with setting the variable id inside of the newly attached movieclip _root.shelf["book" +j] so I can later on use it on my onRelease function.
On my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?
