ActionScript 2.0 :: Resize A Dynamically Created Movie Clip?
Jan 22, 2009
So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.
Here is the code I am using for the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
videosBTN.onRelease= function() {
[Code]....

Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.

I'm creating a photo slide show that has the ability to go full screen. I have some elements which are always on the stage and some elements which I am adding from the library and/or creating in the code. When I issue the resize event, my stage movieclips are still on the stage and can be repositioned but the elements I created dynamically (most notably the thumbnails which I want to reposition) are gone.

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.

here is a snippet of code in first frame of the movie I have trouble with:
----------------
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
this.addChild(container);

I am getting an error message: A term is undefined and has no properties. I checked list of objects and container0.one and it's there but I can not get to container0.one.usecase

i wanna write a function for the onPress handler for a movieclip that will be created dynamically.. how do i do it? this is what i'm doing:
only the ending part of this loop is relevant, where i am writing the thisMC.onpress function. The trace text never appears..
Code:
for (var i = 0; i<galleryLength; i++)
{
var thisMC:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("image"+i+"_mc", i);
loadMovie(gallery_array[i].src, thisMC);
[Code]....
this whole loop is inside the onClipEvent(load) of another clip. So when that clip is loaded, this code is executed..

Trying to add a set of movie clips to the stage in a loop. I need to be able to reference them on a mouseDown function - but the projHolder var in the mouse event is coming up undefined. Any ideas how to accomplish something like this?
for (var i=0; i <intWorkCount; i++) {
var projHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
projHolder.name = 'projHolder' + (i);

I'm using Flash 8.
I've made 18 movies in a for loop. I'm trying to modify a text field in those movies. I am unable to do so in the for loop. Something with my referencing is wrong.
The dynamic text field in each movie is named "eventText".
ActionScript Code:
_root.attachMovie(myData["loadHandler"+x]+"Movie", myData["event"+x], x, {_x:100, _y:100});
_root.myData["event"+x].eventText.text = "test";
If I hardcode the event name for testing purposes, it puts the data in correctly:
ActionScript Code:
_root.houseSale2.eventText.text = "test";

I'm trying to build a relatively simple photo gallery where the images are loaded via XML into thumbnail movieclips that have been dynamically generated, positioned and added to the display stack. I used a simple for loop to generate the thumbs and traced the thumb.name to make sure they all had unique instance names. I then added a listener to the thumb mcs in the for loop and created a function that traces the instance name of each thumb mc, to see if all is working, however, every thumb mc traces the same instance name. My question is how can I create the thumbs dynamically in a loop and, essentially, make them buttons that would display the big the full size photo.
Here is my prototype code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = new thumb();
// Positioning: The xy coordinates are in an array outside the for loop.

get something to work. What I'm trying to achieve is this: there's a slideshow that automatically changes pictures every 10 secs (I've used a kirupa tutorial to achieve this). The pictures are loaded from an xml file, which also contains captions for the pictures. What I would like to do is to have the caption fade in and slightly move to the left with each picture change. E.g. picture 1 is displayed, caption 1 fades in, moves to the left and stays there; picture 2 is displayed, caption 2 fades in, moves to the left and stays there, and so on.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
delay = 10000;

I've been staring at the screen too long and I'm sure the answer is simple but this has been bugging me for a bit now. I've created a grid with over 200 movie clips dynamically using a for loop. I was wondering if there was a way to assign rollovers and such to each new clip using the same loop.
I've been poking around with it a bit but can't seem to get it working and sure don't want to write over 200 rollover functions so any help would be great.

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

I'm having some issues getting a button to work from ctionScript.I created a movie clip and export it. Added it to stage and that displayed fine. I then added some text on the movie clip, converted it to a button and exported it... but then hit a wall. The button is in the library, but it doesn't like the ' import fl.controls.Button;'
Here's the code:

I have an XML file that I am pulling thumbnails from. I would like these thumbnails to be links, but for some reason onRelease does not work on my movie clip created with createEmptyMovieClip.
I have this theory that my onRelease function is being called before my thumbnail image is fully loaded, but I may be completely wrong. Here is some example code of what I am trying to do.

I'm trying to resize an image loaded in a movie clip, so that any image I load will always fit correctly in my movie.The script is pretty simple, it reads an xml file where they should be 6 records. Loads the image in the Thumb attribute in on of the 6 containers eg. _root.screen.Event1
Code:
for (i=0; i < 6; i++){
MyEvent = Event[i].attributes ;
_root.screen["Event"+i].Title.text = MyEvent.Title ;
[code]....
It works but not as expected. It looks like only the container is scaled down not the image really.

I am having trouble targeting a movie clip that was dynamically generated from information in an XML document. Basically, what I want to do is be able to manipulate the movie clip after it was generated by the initial function. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to properly target the clip even though I am pretty sure I have the proper title and location (tried both _root. and _level0.).[URL]the string at the bottom - "_level0.mc_image2" - is the name of the last movie clip (with an image inside) to the right.
