I'm having trouble getting an emptymovieclip which i have created to draw with to appear below the top layer. . . is LineTo always at the top depth?
View 1 RepliesI want to make a bunch of movie clips 295 pixels apart named "pic1, pic2, etc.." with an array only I don't know how Can I have these clips extend past the limits of the maximum stage width of ~2880 if I do them with actionscript? Because I did do it manually but I was restricted so I am resorting to trying this!
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble trying to retrieve properties for a container_mc that dynamically creates content upon loading. The container_mc is creating text boxes from an array and so its _height is dependant on the array.length.
So how do I do this without getting 0:
Code:
//after loading
trace(container_mc._width);
If I create a class and set up one property which is a variable initiated at the start of the class but not within a function or a constructor and I reference the property from the .fla in a for loop as:Book is the class and myBook is the new object.
myBook:Book = new Book(); // (fla script).
for(var prop in myBook) {
trace(prop);
}
[code]...
The trace does not return anything. However when I include myProp (the class variable) in a function (other than Book function) and call that function from the .fla then the trace works and I can see myProp. Do I need to include Class variables in called functions (methods of the Class) in order for them to be properties of the Class?

how to access the properties of the movieclips which are created during runtime.
Ex:
var dotCount:uint = 0;
for(var i:uint = 0; i<=10;i++)
{
var circle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
[Code]....
How can I access a property (say .alpha or any other property) of "circle6"??
I'm creating/adding elements in my item renderer but from some reason you cant access their specific properties, you can only change the general properties. I created a LABEL component but when i do LabelName.font , nothing happens, its like flex doesn't recognize that this is a LABEL. [code]...

View 4 RepliesI need to dynamically bind properties of components created at runtime. In this particular case please assume I need to use bindProperty. I don't quite understand why the following simplistic test is failing (see code). When I click the button, the label text does not change.
I realize that there are simpler ways to go about this particular example using traditional non-dynamic binding, but I need to understand it in terms of using bindProperty.

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.
Here is the example:
My Class for the user interface:
Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

i am taking an old as1 project and converting it into as3 i believe all of my publish settings are correct there are 2 classes in my library with base class movie clip
menucaller
mysqlurl
menucaller and mysqlurl each have an .as file associated with them, and are exported for actionscript on the stage i have instances of of menucaller on mouse over of menucaller, menucaller adds itself a child of mysqlurl via the menucaller.as file the problem is that sometimes this works perfectly fine,but sometimes i get errors of "cannot create property" referring to properties of mysqlurl sometimes copying and pasting all of the layers into a new project corrects this, but sometimes it does noti have an example of the problem here:

in the folder there are 2 .fla files, one labeled "works" one labeled "dontwork", self-explanatory

I want that the button created, when pressed, go to a specific URL. So in this exemple above, I created a text field (instance name ->"teste1") to display the URL . But the only XML node that appears is the last one. I'm starting to use XML, so I can't understand what is going wrong, because so far, I could do the name("File1,File2,File3") of the file appear OK in the button the I created with the "attach" function.

I have a Matrix which I recycle and use for drawing DisplayObject instances onto a Bitmap. At the moment, I reset the Matrix before I render each item, like this:
_matrix.a = 1;
_matrix.b = 0;
_matrix.c = 0;
_matrix.d = 1;
_matrix.tx = 0;
_matrix.ty = 0;
Would it be better to do the above, or to simply do this?:
_matrix = new Matrix();
Generally I would say the former, however I'm unsure if in the case of Matrix there is some heavy stuff going on for each of those properties that I reset (mathematically).
if I can create an array of created Classes. can only create an array of values, not objects.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I'll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I've tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it's still not moving out of 0 position:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
my_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",2);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.loadClip("textgauge1.swf", my_mc.container_mc),{x_:371.6, y_:76};
Is it possible to attach some script to a dynamically created movie Clip?

I am attempting to create a Flash5 menu tree, following the Flash4 tutorial at this [URL] I have created the two MC's (a "topMenu" and a "subMenu"). However, when I place the two MC's on the first frame of _root , the properties of the associated buttons get screwed up if I place the two MCs in a verical alignment. It appears that Flash5 makes a consolidated object, such that the _height property for the second MC is determined by adding the _height property of both MCs.
1. Could you confirm that this is what's taking place?
2. Is there a way to use Scope to eliminate the problem?
3. Other recommendations?
NOTE: if you move the lower MC out to the side, the problem disappears. Although a workaround, this seems to be a poor way for the program to function.
When I create a new mc:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
and try to attach one into it:

Even when I give the "container" content with [.lineTo()], nothing continious to happen.
I guess it has something to do with the 'emptyness' of the mc, but how to solve?
I'm clearly not caffinated enough (or too much!) because I can't seem to place my emptyMovieClips where I want them.
