I need to store each value of my for loop in a separate instance of my movieclip, but the movieclip only seems to pick up the last value of the loop. Why is this and can I do this any other way apart from storing the value in a textfield or creating a loop within the movieclip?
View 3 RepliesThis is really holding me up, so I hope someone can help me fast. I need to store each value of my for loop in a separate instance of my movieclip, but the movieclip only seems to pick up the last value of the loop.

I have five buttons on stage and I simply want to trace "1" when I click the first button and trace "2" when I click the second button and so on.I am always getting the last number and cannot figure out, how to store the values.
View 4 RepliesThis script from MC 1 loads an template from the library and then creates as many instances as the XML says.
It also creates a dynamic variable called ppp. This variable i want to store in each of the newly ceated instances and then use it in another movieclip to load the right path where i want to load another xml file in Flash....
This is what i want to accomplish:
xmlData.load("albums/album"+ppp+"/images.xml");
This code is in another movieclip (MC2) and gets loaded in frame 5 of MC1.
Another soltuions is if it is possible to read the value that is loaded in the dynamic textfield nummer_txt from the template:

I am trying to create a navigation where a button is highlighted with a glowfilter when clicked and then unhighlighted when another is clicked. I have this code that I think should be working, but for some reason the variable lastClicked is never assigned and always returns null.[code]
View 4 Repliesi'm trying to make it easy for artists and level designers to implement game entities without writing a drop of code.
for instance, 5 different monsters are similar but with different attack speeds. i'd like to embed stats (for instance attack speed, health, etc.) in each of their movieclips.
the only way i can think is to embed textfields with instance names of "attack speed" and "health", and then delete the textfields at runtime. is there a more legitimate way of doing this?
I'm trying to create a movieclip object that contains another movieclip that continuously loops. My current problem is, no matter what I try, the embedded movieclip will not play inside the one containing it. It would be significantly more work to design the looping animations in actionscript than through using the IDE, so I would prefer not to have to dynamically create these loops.
View 1 RepliesI have created an bar of thumbnails and added as3 code so that the imagebar scrolls to the right or left depending where the mouse pointer is located. However once you reach the end or beginning of the clip it just stops. How can I make it loop to beginning or end (depending on which way you're scrolling?? I'm very new to Flash and as3 as a warning.
Here is my code so far.
MovieClip(root).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void{if (MovieClip(root).mouseX > 600 && mouseX < 800 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.nextFrame();
}if (MovieClip(root).mouseX > 800 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.nextFrame();
imgBar.nextFrame();
}if (MovieClip(root).mouseX < 300 && mouseX >100 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.prevFrame();
}if (MovieClip(root).mouseX < 100 && mouseY > 450){imgBar.prevFrame();imgBar.prevFrame();}}

I am trying to coding a part of a program which is creating different listener for the same object by using a for, but the problem is that the result for all of them is the same, In the following you can find my code:
for( var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var obj = new MyClass();
obj.y = i*30;
[code]...
My goal of writing the code above is, by clicking on the first obj, the program writes 0 in output, by clicking on second one, writes 1 and so on, but this code give me 10 for all the objects.I should add that no matter there is an obj or not in myOtherMovieClip area, by clicking in that area, I got the same value.

var format:TextFormat=new TextFormat ;

I've got a movieClip that's scrolling across the stage that loops nicely (kinda like the many cloud animations out there).
I've set the clip up to stop it's scrolling on a rollOver, and start up again on the rollOut.
My problem is that after the rollOut the loop doesn't work. The movieClip just keeps travelling.

I have a series of movie clips that are named image1, image2, image3, etc. And I need to modify their visibility with a loop (make them all visible=false), but I just can't seem to get it right...
View 1 RepliesI have an .fla with multiple movieclips. For most of these, as one finishes, it calls the next with code like _parent.nextmovieclip_mc.play(); on that next movieclip (the one to be played), the first frame is blank with actionscript stop(); so that it won't begin at the start of the movie. nearly every movieclip plays just once and this has worked fine. I have run into a snag because I want *one* of these to loop 20 times, and I'm trying to do a loop, but either it plays once and stops or never plays. this clip should not begin at the outset of the movie, and so like the others above, it has a blank keyframe with a stop(); for frame 1

I've got a form with radio buttons which were duplicated depending on the response from the database. However, when they are selected (even though they have the same group name) it is possible to select more than one. I've got round this problem by adding the selected one to a blank array and removing it from an array with all the possible radio buttons in. This then enables me to get the selected value and use it, and However, the other values (which are in another array) still show as selected (i.e. the dot is in the middle of the button) which isnt good. I've set up a loop which should go through each value in the "unclicked" array and set the radiobutton corresponding to it to unselected. The code I have is below:
for (i=0; i < unclicked.length; i++)
{
_root.RB[i].radioButtoni.selected = false;

For the last couple of days I've been trying to find an example of a draggable movieclip (with mouse) in Y-axis which also can loop. This movieclip will load several different dynamic SWF-files from a XML file, but they are all the same width and height.I want this movieclip draggable in Y-axis only, and it should loop when you reach the end. But I can't figure it out tbh.What I want to achieve is similar to this: But in a vertical direction and when you grab something all 3 images that are visible should follow the mouse movement.Here is a code that I've written, you can drag the "container"-movieclip, but I can't figure out how to loop it and everytime I press and drag it again, the movieclip pops back to Y:0 at the mouse-pointer, hard to explain

For some reason the x++ loop to move clip doesn't work. There must be an easy fault.
cX=iButton[i].x;
while (cX>iX) {
iButton[i].x=cX;
cX--
}
It should move a thing smoothly, as I understand it, but it doesn't. It completes the while and then shows the iButton at iX, completing the loop without showing a thing meanwhile. I even put a 1000-count for{} loop to slow it down, but it just delayed the final outcome. I also tried to move the moving to a separate function, and into a package. (It's these menus I want to slow down.)
