I am trying to load /duplicate a simple movie clip and am unable to do. I am attaching the code. its simple but it doesnt seem to be working at all.
the code is pasted below:
operand1 = Math.random();
a1.text = Math.round(operand1*10);
counter = int(a1.text);
duplicateMovieClip(movblue,"myclip",1)
stop();
here movblue is a movie clip.
1)I was able to load an external .swf file into a blank movie clip (A TARGET CLIP WHICH I CREATED using createEmptyMovieClip) 2)Also by placing a button on the stage I was able to remove the movie clip
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL MY CODE IN THE FIRST FRAME. I would like to Remove the Movie without putting the code on the button. But it didn't work.
Here is the code on the button that Does work

I have several movie clips on the stage. They are draggable. I want to be able to drag the movie clip, then when it is dropped, a copy of that movie clip will appear where the first one had been, and the first one will just stay where it is on the screen.
However, I'm running into problems with the syntax.
Here is my current code:

I work with Flash Pro allmost 11 hours per day and every while i get a error which messes up everything. Approximetly i get this after about 2-3 hours withevery project.After i get this error there is no chance to test movies afterwards.I see a fast flash of the loader window but it dissapears so fast i cant even really see if it is loader.
View 1 RepliesI�d be grateful if anyone can answer what should be a simple problem. I�m building a Flash program that has many movie clips (like they all do). At one stage I need to duplicate a specific movie clip and make it appear in another movie clip.
PS: The movie clip needs to be added by actionscript as it is made on the fly in the program, hence it cant be in the original .fla file � if that makes sense.

View 4 RepliesIs there a way to duplicate a movie clip into another movie clip?
So far I have only been able to get the movie clip to duplicate itself within the movie clip it is already in though I am calling the duplication from another movie clip (which is where I want it duplicated into).
Basically I have pictures (as movie clips) in a scroller. When you click on a picture I want it to duplicate that picture into another Movie Clip outside of scroller on the _root level. This outside movie clip is actually calling the duplication using onClipEvent(enterFrame). So far, though, it only duplicates itself into the same movie clip and so this duplicated picture also scrolls with the scroller (which isn't what I'm wanting).
Here is the outside movie clip's actionscript:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//tried the below line as well:
// duplicateMovieClip(showPic, "previewPic", 0);
[Code]...
The above code (using either duplicateMovieClip methods) places the duplicated movie clip at _root.showPic instead of the outside movie clip.
All i want to do is duplicate a movie clip then put it into another movie clip. How would i do this? Can i just use the attach movie function

I have found a little FLA which demonstrates how the duplicate movie clip can be used.I tried to simplify and adjust the AS according to my needs. With some part i was successful but with some i wasn't.
i want to be able to set the beginning X position of the clips as "0" in X values. but when i assign "0" to the this._x , it naturally generates/duplicates all the clips at the same point. What I'm trying to achieve by doing this is, when the stage is scaled in means of width my clips should start to originate from the very left of the stage whatever the stage's width is.
my second question is how can i adjust the speed?When I stretch the stage width they(duplicated clips) all speed up in order to travel the whole stage in the same amount of time as they do with the initial/beginning stage width. I want the speed to stay constant whatever the distance is.
I have a series of movie clips that are dynamic text fields created with the createTextField call. The text field is dragged and dropped onto a box. At that point I want to create a duplicate of that text field and to then position it on top of the box. The code appears to be creating a duplicate of the original clip and the traces are all successful, however, the actual movie clip is not displayed anywhere on screen.
I feel that it has something to do with the depth. Originally, I was passing this.getNewHighestDepth to duplicateMovieClip but that seemed to result in my existing text fields disappearing instead!

Ok, I have a simple duplicate movie clip for loop, but I want the duplication of the movie clip to be delayed by a setInterval. This is what I have so far:
[AS]myNumber = 10;
for (count=0; count<myNumber; count++) {
myClip.duplicateMovieClip("myClip"+count, count);
this["myClip"+count].clipText.text = count;
this["myClip"+count]._x = (this["myClip"+count]._width+2)*count;
}[/AS]
works fine. How could I add a setInterval to delay that script?
in the first duplicate move clip I'm loading an array. I want to duplicate the movie "slide" again. so i get the same movie with the array and an other name on the right of the original movie.at this moment It only loads one slice from the array and I need all//mMaskedSLice//array with the gotoandstop

look at this thread [URL] now the movie works which is great but i want to have a lot more balls. i could create 150 of them and give each an instance name but that would take forever. is there a way to do this with actionscript. i know i can duplicate a movie clip although i don't know how to put them in that box formation like i have them in this movie but can i duplicate them into that formation and assign each an instance name that consists of a number so that when [i] is equal to their instance name the clip will play.

I have been battling this for 2 days now and can't seem to find any solutions. I am making a flash Statistics chart for my website which pulls the stats from the database and loads them into corresponding arrays in the actionscript. Once all the information is pulled, it goes to the next frame and duplicates the existing stat bars on the flash document depending on how many stats were retrieved. The loaded stats are then calculated to adjust the stat bar heights to fit the grid. So far, everything is working up to this point.Now for the problem... Directly above each stat bar, I have a text field which I want to fill with the value of the specified stat. The stat text fields are duplicated by the duplicateMovieClip function. For some reason, stat text fields are not visible at all even when using the depthManager function I found in my research.[code]
View 2 Repliesi have been trying to get this to work forever. What im doing here is making a flash site thats like a real time strategy game. You have to build stuff in order to unlock new sections of the site. check out this: [URL] click on build, then drag the Main button and release somewhere above. Notice that when you release it sticks to the cursor and doesnt stop dragging. Now, hit cancel and notice that the main clip is still loaded and works correctly if you drag and drop it.
