ActionScript 2.0 :: Play A MovieClip From The Library And Leave It On The Stage Before The LoadMovie
Aug 20, 2010
Just got into flash about 8 months ago and have an assignment for AS2. (Personally I like AS3, but I have to work the parameters of the project). My question: I have a loadMovie command on the 1st frame of my timeline. How can I play a movieClip from the library and leave it on the stage before the loadMovie. I can provide more details and the code i have so far if needed.

Is there any way to load a external .swf into a movieclip that is in the library?
Such as
img0_mc.loader_mc.loadMovie("movie.swf") while img0_mc is in the library and not on the scene.

why my MC's wont leave the stage, or indeed, simply move position it would make me very happy if you could tell me.
The set up is this. I have a number of MC's on stage that i place into an array. When i click the stage the program moves onto the next frame where the MC's are in a different position and are then sorted on the y value. Simple. The code is pretty much like this, and by it self works a treat.
[Code].....
However, placed into the main program it decides not to work. If the MC's arent in the sorting array, they do move xy positions (but obviously dont sort). If they are placed in there, they sort, but seem to be stuck on their xy co-ordinates.

0i am looking for something easy enough, but i can't find the right way it seems mission: when a button is pressed i want to load a mc (no swf) from my library, play that and when it's done playing(the mc) it deletes. purpose: i just want to make somekind of "flash" "blink" when a button is pressed. when another button is pressed the "blink" loads again. i tried it with the my_mc. _visible = true/false code. but it just doesn't work out.

getting a MovieClip item onto the stage within say the Document Class.
The trick is though, I would like to do it when the MovieClip linkage refers to a Class name, but does not actually have a Class document created.
I know that you could give it a class complete with document and that would be easy. But if you have say 10 enemy objects that literally do the same thing but just look different, why should I create 10 separate classes!
or am I barking up the wrong tree and I should just set up 10 different enemy styles within the 1 MovieClip and just attach the 1 Class to it?
Though I would still like to know how to get a MovieClip onto the stage dynamically from the Library when it doesn't have a Class file associated with the Class name in it's linkage

All I am trying to do is add a movieclip from the library to the stage from the class below. The trace works but the dang thing does not show up. I am trying to get into using classes finally.
Code:
package classes

I've got 4 button images that drop in when the movie starts, and when you click on an image it loads in an XML image flow. Problem is, when I click the "go back" button, it goes to frame 2 to start over, but the XML gallery/image-flow won't leave the stage. Link is below, code is attached.I've been pulling my hair out for a few days now

I'm developing a flash lite app in as 2.0. loading a movieclip on to the stage from the library. The name of the mc is Objects and I have exported it for actionscript in the linkage. I learnt as 3.0 initially. That is why finding difficult in going to as 2.0
This is how i did it in as 3.0
Code:
var obj:MovieClip=new Objects();
addChild(obj);

so i have a document class with added_to_stage handler, and when i get access to stage is there a difference between: having few movieclips on the stage ready for use, or pulling these same movieclips from the library? is there a reason why i should be pulling them from the library (and i dont mean multiple instances, just single item of each) when i can "leave" them on stage and get them directly?

I sometimes replace the mouse cursor with a custom one by doing:
Code:
Mouse.hide();
myCustomCursor.startDrag(true);
When I embed this in a html-document and leave the swf while the cursor is replaced by the icon, it will stay at the border of the SWF. I tried

I have created a movie clip on the stage and in symbol properties I have checked "Export for ActionScrip" the MC name is "slide" and the class is "slide" base class is flash.display.MovieClip.
When I test the movie I get this error.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Here is my code:
PHP Code:
var slide = getChildByName("slide"); //add instance from library?
function slideRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
// trace("OK");
} slide.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, slideRollOver);

I am trying to learn ActionScript 3. I have a MovieClip called Ship in the library and have made class of it called ship. The Ship movieClip glows from Frame 6 to indicate when it crashes into an asteroid.The myShipMovieClip child is controlled by arrow keys and asteroid approaches. The hitTest works but I cant get the ship to glow i.e. from the timeline go to the Ship MovieCli in the library and go to frame 6 to start it to glow. I have managed to do this in ActionScript 2 but have tried for the last few days to try and do it in AS3here is my code :
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Is it even possible to associate a class file to a movieClip manually placed on the stage without setting up the class linkage in the library? If so, how?
P.S. linking in the library then placing on the stage is not a viable option. Nor is using "addChild" from the library.

I've started trying to get into AS2 and all of a sudden, I don't know how to attach a movieclip from a document's library to the stage! The debugger's saying that attachMovie isn't a method. Just to clarify, I have an external as file which is defining a class and in that class, I want to attach a movie from the library to the stage.

I have a MovieClip in the library with a class associated with it. I can instanciate the MovieClip just fine using code and add it to the stage without any problems. But how can I manually add the MovieClip to the stage and feed it the one parameter when it's instanciated? I've tried all the usual stuff but nothing seems to work:
var testClip:className = new className("helloworld");
testClip is the name of the MovieClip that's been manually placed on the stage.

When you attach a movieclip taken from the symbol library to the Stage, by using the attachMovie function and its Linkage name, do you have to - previously - place a dummy instance of the mc anywhere on that Stage to get it works ?

How to add random movie clip to stage from many different movie clips in library? If I wanted to add one movie clip to stage I would do liko so:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
function onMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip = new Ball();
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
addChild(mc);
}
Code above works perfect but I tried following but with no success, no errors, but nothing happens - no mc's are added to stage. I have 6 movie clips in library and they all are linked, exported for actionscript. On MouseOver I want to add random movie clip from those six movie clips to the stage.
Code:
var myArray:Array = [mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onLoop);
function onLoop(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i< myArray.length; i++) {
var randomMc:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[randomMc];
addChild(mc);
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
}}

I am looking for a way to remove a movieclip from the stage when it is dropped (after a pause) and then have a new random movieclip appear at a specific point on the stage, which can then be dragged and dropped onto its own target (which repeats the process).
Code:
var movieArray:Array = new Array();
movieArray = ["Red", "Green" , "Blue"];[code].....

I have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.

I've created a simple movieclip (48 frames long). I want to play this movie on the stage. I created enough frames, but the movie doesn't play. I haven't used Flash for a real long time, so I'm probably missing something simple.

MovieClip(mcName).play();
MovieClip(mcName).addEventListener(??????, myStopFunction);
Or how differently you can learn about the end of play?MovieClip is an external file and loaded into the swf as needed.

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
