i have an array called movieList that's made up of nine movieclips ("one_mc" for example). when something happens in my timeline, i want to send each of the movieclips to their fifth frame. i tried the following code and it didn't work:
[Code]...
I did this:
Code:
var mc_array:Array;
mc_array = new Array(3);
mc_array[0] = mc1;
[code]....
I want to use arrays to shorten things, but I don't know how to get and set the properties of individual entries of the array (with a mouse click).
I've read that the best way to "comunicate" with dynamicly created movieclips is by pushing them into an array.
For example:
Code: Select allvar itemArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
var newItem:MyItem = new MyItem();
[Code]......
i basically have some images of logs (for a bridge) setup inside a movieclip called log_mc, inside log_mc each log has its own movieclip log1_mc, log2_mc and so on
[Code]...
I think this solution should be simple but I think I am missing something about using event.target.name.I have multiple (over 30) MovieClip images on stage with alpha of zero and I would like to have them fade in on MouseEvent.CLICK while removing the current image showing. While I can code it to work for a single image I want to use this.target.name to have more efficient code.
[Code]...
in a actionscript file, is there anyway to have different codes target different movieclips? For example, if i want one movieclip to tint to red and another to tint to blue, can I do that in the same actionscript file or do I need to do that in separate actionscript file?
View 3 RepliesI have a bunch of movie clips in my main timeline with at least 2 nested clips inside them, MyMc.nested1.nested2 etc. I have given the top most movie clips that sit on the main timeline instance names. In a document class I created a private variable typed as an array and placed all those MC names in that array. I then looped through the length of the array and assigned 2 event listeners to each instance. Example:
for (var i:uint = 0 ; i < _activities.length ; i++){ _activities[i].buttonMode = true; _activities[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp); _activities[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);}
in the event pickup() is were my trouble seems to come in.In the pickup function I have the following:
event.target.startDrag()
This seems to work, but only on the lowest nested Movie clip......nested2I can use event.target.parent.parent.startDrag() and that seems to work.... Except when I place another movieclip in the second layer of the of the MyMC , if that is accidently clicked, it will now drag the Stage.I attempted to use the event.target.mouseChildren = false but that only seems to work on the lowest nested object... nested2 as that seems to be the one I am clickingIs there something I am missing to say, click only the top level mc then ignore all nested mc?
I have been working with AS2 for a long time, but are a total newbie when it comes to AS3.On my stage I have placed an empty MC with instance name "holder".In my library I got a MC linked by the name "sektor".
"sektor" has several movieclips and buttons with instance name, e.g. "corner1", "corner2", "corner3"....
I have nested "sektor" inside "holder" by writing this code:
Code:
var newClip:sektor = new sektor();
newClip.name = "sektor1";
holder.addChild(newClip);
What I want to achieve is to control those movieclips inside "sektor" by turning dem on/off.I have tried to do this with this code:
Code:
holder.sektor1.corner1.visible = false;
but I keep on getting this error:
"TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."
I have figured out that by tracing holder, I know it�s excisting (Result: [object MovieClip]) but if I try to trace holder.sektor1, I got the result "undefined". So it seems like "sektor1" is not excisting. Why?
I have a script that loads images and text from an XML file into movieclips.The following code is what creates the movieclips that contain the elements:
Code:
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = _root.mc_conteudo.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb"+(1+i), _root.mc_conteudo.getNextHighestDepth());
var img_mc:MovieClip = thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img", 0);
I can't seem to find a way to target the thumb_mc or the img_mc so they have rollover effects and actions (they are created for each set in the xml file, so there are multiple mc's)mc_conteudo is the content mc that scrolls.The swf is here: http:[url].....
I've made a loop that is creating 9x movieClips that is loading external images and I have also added eventListeners to those movieClips to make it possible to change the movieclips image. My problem is that i can't access the target of the "first eventListener". Here is the code to browse for the new image, i want to access the movieclip of this function in a later eventListener, like this: event.CurrentTarget
Code:
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected);
function mUp(event:MouseEvent):void{
file.browse(new Array(new FileFilter( "Bild (JPG och JPEG)", "*.jpg;*.jpeg;")));
}
The second eventListener. This function is called when the new image is selected
Code:
function onFileSelected(event:Event):void{
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
file.load();
}
The third and last function, this function is called when the image is loaded and is ready to be used.
Code:
function loadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void{
file.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(event.target.data);
// Here is the problem!
event.target.addChild(loader)
}
If if put this code, it will target the second function's event.
Code:
event.target.addChild(loader);
I am searching for a code looking like this to replace the old image with the new one
Code:
event.target.target.addChild(loader);
Its easier explained if I just write down the code:
function loadMc(frame:Number){
aNum = "array"+frame;
array1 = ["mcname", "identifier", "200"];
[code].....
varObjectBarriers=arrayBarriers[i-1].hitspot
The nested mc is hitspot. Do I target it like this? Flash says no. But I don't know how else to.

since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

I have one main array of 10 elements, inside each element there's another array of 3 elements. So, I must click on any of those 3 elements and compare its index with another array.Problem comes when I try to get its index since it gets it wrong.. I've try with this:trace(_choicesArray[_counter].indexOf(e.target));I even created a temporarly array that gets that specific array elements, but I always get -1. After many tries, I realized it's not a problem of the array or the index, but the event target somehow doesn't know what it index is.. or something like that.. still not so sure.his is the code:

private function addChoices():void {
for (var i:uint=0; i<_choicesArray.length; i++) {

How can I target a movieclip that is inside each item in the array using getChildByName. Heres my code so far:
var aMC:Array=new Array(letter, envelope, parcel);
if(i< aMC.length){
var myTargetName:String = aMC[i].target.name;
var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
trace("Stamps Target: "+myTargetName);
if (evt.target.dropTarget != null && evt.target.dropTarget == myTarget) {
// do what ever here
i++;
}}
does anyone know if it's possible to target values stored in an array in a function from anywhere in a movie? e.g var Pressed:Array = item trace(Pressed)
if i trace the Array name within the function it spits out values, but when i try and access the Array from outside of the function it doesn't work.
lets say i have dynamically duplicated movieClips ID's stored in array list. i want to add a onPress event to them. how do i do it?

I'm having problems making a loop of different movieClips. I've been able to find info about duplicating the same movieClip but I can't seem to get it to apply to this. This is what I am working with: I have 13 different movieClips of an animated character. They are titled montyDog_mc, montyBear_mc, montyCat_mc, etc. I also have a next and a previous button. What I need to happen is for the movieClip animations to cycle through, one at a time, each time the user clicks the next or previous button. I think I should be creating an array of some sort but I am very confused about how I list the movie clips in an array and apply it to the button.
This is what I have:
montyArray = new Array();
montyBear[0] = "montyBear_mc";
montyBee[1] = "montyBee_mc";
montyCow[2] = "montyCow_mc";
montyDog[3] = "montyDog_mc";

Am I targeting the movieClips properly?
Just started to make the switch from AS2 to AS3 and am having a few problems, most of which I've managed to fix but this one has got me stumped.
I'm trying to create some buttons dynamically that are spaced out evenly.The clip is in the library and exports as NavButton. I've created an array with all the button clips inside it. This is called navButtonArray and when traced shows the NavButton clips. My problem is when I try and add them to stage. I can't tell if it's only adding 1, or just placing them in the same place, or if it's continually replacing the previous navButton.[code]...
I'm creating multiple movieclips, containing a TextField and an image as a background. In order to keep track of them I'm storing them in an array. The problem is that I can't add the movieclip to the screen >.< What I'm doing is
PHP Code:
addChild(movieclips[0]);
but it's not displaying. I know it's not the movieclip as I can addChild that and it shows, but trying to call it out of the array is not working and it's REALLY frustrating the nark out of me .How do I add the selected movieclip out of my array?
