ActionScript 2.0 :: Using For Loops To Duplicate A MovieClip
Aug 24, 2010
Ive seen this for loop to duplicate a movieclip.Its somethin.g i like to understand its square brackets. when are square brackets used instead of the circular brackets.
for(i=1; i<5;i++){
_root["face"].duplicateMovieClip("face"+i,i++,face)
}
and i woud also like to know. i understand the first part. i = zero if i less than 5 add one.until 5 is made. which is reffering to the maintimeline.
1. is this refering main movie clip to be duplicated? ["face"]
2.In the final round brackets ("face"+i,i++,face) not sure n some of the meaning.

The code is supposed to receive one system id and then scan around that system in all directions, with each direction having its own length. It is like scanning a rectangle around that system where 9*9 = 81 systems.The code works very well; but the problem. I get 8 duplicate results and there is a complete row missing from the results. The one just above the middle row. I think the problem is in the topsystem integer but I don't know what is wrong with it.[code]if you watch the part of the code that has if statements. this part handle the edges.specially zero and 10k. about what i want to do. think about it like a 9*9 dots field in rectangular shape. has 9 rows and 9 columns. each dot has an id from 1 to 10k. the input is the id of the dot in the center of the field (column 5, row 5). as now i know this centeral dot id. i want to loop through the whole field to find the other dots ids using topsystem(the distance between the centeral dot to the upper edge).downsystem (the distance between central dot to the lower edge). leftsystem (the distance between central dot and left edge).rightsystem (the distance between central dot and right edge).the code is working fine but there is 8 missing ids that replaced by 8 duplicated ids.

My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I'm used to making tweens on the timeline, and by default, the mc loops continuously. Well now I'm making a tween strictly in AS, using the "mc_tween2.as" and "lmc_tween.as" libraries. How do I make my tweens play through, and then start over again immediately after they finish? I'm simply trying to have a cursor/marker continuously fade/blink from alpha 100 to alpha 20 using on(rollOver).

I'm stucked here. I want the font type "BauhausMedium" to apply when ft_01 is clicked, font type "Haettenschweiler" to apply when ft_02 is clicked, etc... at the same time I want all" ft_01a", "ft_02a", "ft_03a" movieclips to hide except for the movieclip similar to the clicked button. E.g. if "ft_02" was clicked ft_02a to be visible =true and rest to be visible = false (ft_01a, ft_03a).

I was looking at a video tutorial, and in order to reference a MovieClip, the instructor used:
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
What is the difference between using that, and just using:
var mc:MovieClip = e.currentTarget;
Also, is there any way to easily duplicate a MovieClip? (or any class for that matter) There was a function somewhere back there, but that created a dynamic class. I want an exact replica of the class and all it's properties without manually changing over each and every value.

In my movieclips, I already have functions such as the following:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
currentlocx = this._x;
currentlocy = this._y;
differencex = newX - currentlocx;
differencey = newY- currentlocy;
[Code] .....
How would I add other functions such as duplicateMovieClip(my_mc, "new_mc", 5); to the code. Where would I add them? I've tried adding them under (enterFrame) but my movieclip does not duplicate after every "x" seconds. In addition to this, I would like my movieclip to "disappear" whenever it is clicked.

Ok, I know layers dont exist once compiled and that duplicated movieclips cannot be duplicated to new levels but I need some kind of work around here.
I cannot use the library as the movieclip I am duplicating is dynamically generated by actionscript (a graph based on user input over time) and thus cannot be made by me beforehand as it varies.
I need to somehow make a duplicate of this on a layer above the where the original was made, anyone know how this is possible?

In my scene I've got a movieclip. If I press left the same movieclip should be duplicated a distance left of the first movieclip. If I press right, one should appear to the right of the first movieclip. If I press left again another duplication of the movieclip should show up on the left of the copied one on the left...

I have a movie clip, that has various codes attached to it to snap to areas of the screen. If I apply the duplicate movie clip command to this, the second instance will have a new name right? so how can I change the code that addressed the original movie clip to relate to the new instance with the new name?

I'm using this code to duplicate a movieclip:
Code:
for (i=0;i<10;i++) {
_root.lane.duplicateMovieClip("lane"+i, i);
i++
}
Now, I want each duplicate to have their _x position 30 pixels away from each other.
Basically, they would all be in a row, I'm sure it's simple so how can I put them all in a row?

Ok having some issues with this:I create a new movieclip:this.createEmptyMovieClip("setClip1", this.getNextHighestDepth());and then I attach a bunch of the same movieclip from the library to my new clip:in a for loopthis.setClip1.attachMovie("dashLine","dashLine"+i, this.setClip1.getNextHighestDepth());This is all working fine. BUT, I try to duplicate this movieclip:_root.setClip1.duplicateMovieClip("setLeft1",thisgetNextHighestDepth());And it seems to work - I can trace the _x/_y values and such so it sees my new clip but nothing shows up. It's just blank.So my question I guess to start is this:When you useduplicateMovieClip, does it bring with it all of the attached movieclips as well or does it not include the attached clips as well?
