[URL] -heres a intresting portfolio site at the bottum they have 3 columns i want to do they same thing where they select from the first list they select from the secong list then the description shows up and loads a swfs which of these two methods would be easier to use
1.use a array or list
2. use movie clips
im trying to get a button to move a list of movie clips up and down how would u go about this
e.g
i have a button at the top of the stage and a button at the bottom and when the top one is clicked it moves up one movie clip till last one is hit. and if the bottom one is hit it moves down one until it hits the last one
how can I tell where a symbol is used? I mean, is there a list of instances that it is used, or a list of movie clips that use it?

I've taken a few Flash classes, but this is the first I've really been exposed to hard coding things into the stage area.
I'm working on a game, and I need to have the game randomly choose one of four movie clips to add to the stage after a given event. (ex: Mouse click)
The four movie clips are BoostUp, BoostDown, BoostLeft, and BoostRight.
On my main timeline, I have a "Background" graphic object with some control buttons, on the main timeline there may (or may not) be a few other movie clips playing at any given point.
I want the pause button (in the Background object) to figure out what all movie clips are playing from the _root down, and stop them all. I am currently doing this by putting in the code: mc1.stop(); mc2.stop(); mc3.stop(); etc...
I want to trace the name of the movie clips(with instance name as mc1,mc2,...,mc5) when I click the images in the Tile List. What I want is that when I click image 4 in the Tile List, output should be "mc4". I'm trying the following code but I'm not getting the correct output.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;import flash.events.Event;import fl.data.DataProvider;import flash.display.*;import fl.controls.TileList;
var aThumbs:Array = new Array(mc1,mc2,mc3,mc4,mc5);

I have a difficult question to explain. I have a class file that loads an external XML file, parses the main nodes into an array, then creates a movie clip instance for each of the main nodes and creates text fields inside of the movie clip instance based on the child nodes in the XML.
Each movie clip instance that is added dynamically has a movie clip embedded in it that acts as a tab. I update the dynamic text of this embedded movie clip based on the name of each main XML node.
Now where I am getting stuck is that I have attached an event listener to each tab movie clip that is inside of each dynamically created movie clip. What I want to do is when the user clicks this tab have that movie clip move to the top of the display list on top of all the other dynamically created movie clips. My problem is that I don't know how to get the references correct.
When I create the movie clips dynamically I store the objects in an array. The problem appears to be that the event is fired for a movie clip inside of the dynamic movie clip so I don't know how to reference the parent movie clip. Maybe it is something else but I don't know how to make reference to the main movie clips that I want to swap.
I hope that makes sense. My main question is how do I use the swapChildren or setChild functions when the movie clip clicked is located within the movie clip I want to change in the display list as well as the fact that this movie clip was created dynamically.

i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection
the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects
If I've got an array that contains mc names like this:
PHP Code:
var homeArray = new Array("home1_mc",
"home2_mc",
"home3_mc",

How do I do the equivalent of this:
PHP Code:
var i:MovieClip = homeArray[0];
var image1:MovieClip = addChild(new i);

but i want to have nothing on stage and attach the same clip from the library a certain amount of times and have them put themselves into the array, is this possible?

I have a movie the attaches movie clip linkages to an array with buttons, the idea is to attach the clip to the stage and when you attach another clip ,the one one the stage moves down in the y position 25 px to allow the next movie to go in its space.I cant seem to get the movie to drop down and all the clips stay at the same y coordinate.I have tried using a variable to update the y value also to hard code the y value nothing seems to work below
var warnArray = [""];
mybtn.onRelease = function() {
warnArray.unshift("movie1");

I've got an array with four movie clips that I would like to move onto the screen separately (the first one, then the second, etc). Is there a way to do that?
This is the code I have to move the whole array onto the screen:
arrCSnav:Array = [cs1_Button, cs2_Button, cs3_Button, cs4_Button]
for(i=0;i<arrCSnav.length;i++) {
var enterTween:Tween = new GCSafeTween(arrCSnav[i], "x", Strong.easeOut, arrCSnav[i].x,arrCSnav[i].x+180,12,false);

i stored 8 mc's in an array an i put them on the stage. now I want to apply to these mc's a blur effect. My problem is that i don't know how to apply for every mc the blur effect by clicking on it. So for example I have all the mc's on the stage and if I click on one of them the clicked one should have the blur effect and so on. How to apply the filter to the mc's?
View 2 Repliesin my program the user can create multible movie clips so i stored them in an array. now the problem is i need to find the ._x of all of them. so i have tried to create a for loop that will go through at a certain amount of times (pending on the number of created movie clips)
Code:
for(z=1;z<=_root.howmany;z++)
trace(array_name[z]._x);
}
it doesn't work?
the array is storing the string of the movie clip
(like; _root.moive1, _root.mave2,etc)
but when i try to access it, it doesn't work? what am i doign wrong and/or what should i do?
Does anybody know how to go about creating an array of movie clips? Can it be done? I can't find it in any of my books.

My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30 clips onto the stage and have it play until it's done.
BUT - once a movie clip is already out, I don't want it to reset or come out again. I'd like the next action to randomly call out one of the remaining 29 clips.
Once each movie clip is done, I need some action to make it go back to the "available" list so that it can be called out again.
I'm guessing that I need to use attachMovie to call out the movie clips, and an array (maybe two) to make sure that I only get one instance of each movie clip. But after lots of searching and various dead ends, I'm just not finding exactly what is needed.
I am trying to loop through an array of 5 movie clips using a timer. Below is the script that plays the first movie clip, then plays the next clip over and over.

I've got 5 movie clip buttons. When a user rolls over a button, I want one movie clip to play. When a user clicks on that button, an alternate movie clip plays. I'm trying to use an array to assign certain movie clips to certain buttons and actions, but I'm not doing something quite right. I can get one button to work correctly, but then am having issues getting the other buttons to work.

Bit of a problem with trying to attach a sound to a series of movie clips stored in an array. I miss attachSound from AS2, it was so cool. Background first. I'm making a simple pairs game where the aim is to match the 2 cards that have the same sound attachted to it. I'm storing my card movie clips in an array to build the grid (obviously lol) and I have 18 audio files in my library with the class names s0 - s17. Code breakdown below. Apologies if this doesn't appear in code format,[code]I have two issues.
1 - how would I add a sound to each movie clip in the for loop in preparation for adding another function which is called when the user clicks the movie clip and the sound plays?
2 - the grid is 36 tiles long , so to make the whole pairs game work I need to attach each sound twice, and then again I will create another function which will then shuffle them randomly.
How do i guarantee that a different item from the array shows up in the different movie clips?

My Flash file provides a small number (say, 4) of user-selected �displays. Within each display, there are up to four link movie clips, each of which are (or should be) selectable. The displays have instance names of display0_mc, display1_mc, display2_mc, and display3_mc. I can address each display through an array var display:Array = [ display0_mc, display1_mc, display2_mc, display3_mc ]; as display[ 0 ], display[ 1 ], etc. Now, the four links within each display are named link0_mc through link3_mc. (Each of these is actually a movie clip containing a dynamic text field, link_txt, and a few other elements not relevant here.)
