I have 4 movieclips in my library with the class names one clip1, clip1, clip3, clip4Im tryng to add them to the stage using this:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, addShiet);
var oldA = 1;
[code]......
I'm creating a card game and I need to use graphics from the library. All the movieclips have their linkage setup. How do I access the library movieclips from a class?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to create one or several instances of a movieclip from the library with variable names
my1_mc
my2 _mc
.........
my5_mc
so that I can make a function that will use the name of any of these movieclips.
I am trying to simplify things by using dynamic MovieClip names. I have three MovieClips on the stage.
1) mcPage1
2) mcPage2a
3) mcPage2b
But my code isn't working. I'm guessing the "this" part is what is messing it up. Thinking that the computer doesn't know which MC is "this". It traces fine outside the function, but inside the function it traces undefined.[code]
Currently i am experiencing a problem with pulling Movie Clips from a Library and Tweening it (adding) it to the stage at runtime and then quickly removing it (addChild()) and removeChild(); I have 6 Library items, which i am interested in using.
car_mc1
car_mc2
car_mc3[code].....
My Question:
1) The name is not genereted through the addChild metho, is there an temp Add solution or something that would add on the Fly?
2)The object when working as a single object, gets Tweened out to -200, i just want it to Tween out and get Removed form the stage?
3) The Movie Clip remains on the screen while another instance is brought on when using static naming convetion (this is just to say that i have tested it),I only want the object to be available for the Tween, nothing else
I'm rewriting a game that came from AS2, and passing it to AS3. The problem is that I have several different MovieClips in the Library, with a sequence name ("s_0", "s_1,...).
how can I use the addChild to instantiate these movieclips, using these names, sequencially, using a FOR loop?
I'm trying to get a way, that I don't have the remake all movieclips, or else I'll be stuck on the desk for a week :P
I'm trying to track down some bugs in my code and need to see what movieclips and sprite are creates at runtime - is there a way to see a list of those with properties in flash?
View 1 RepliesSince the demensions of some of them, i.e. phones as opposed to tablets, have a much smaller screen, wanted to use different sets of mc's depending on screen size (device dimension wise, not resolution).So a smaller device would use the mc's with larger gfx so they would still be decipherable and the larger devices could use smaller gfx so to be abale to get a larger part on the screen at the same time- I could just scale the entire screen clip all the time, but this will slow it down too much i think- I could create multiple instances and use different names and then sort them out run time in AS, but this would also steal processor time. Im not really for that.
- I could publish multiple versions, depending on device its for. But this would require me to maintain multiple sources on upgrades. I can feel the hurt already.I was hoping it is possible somehow to export the movieclips as .swf's or something and then sorting out run time wich one to import/use/load.Then, hopefully i can refer to them in my code with the same name's but they will be different sizes depending on wich i had chosen to include/load.
cat 1 and cat2 are the instance names of the movieclips when using the trace command to find out the values of the array this returns both movieclips undefined.Is that correct output window (undefined; undefined)how can trace name of movieclips in the array.[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a flash movie with a lot of linked movieclips in my library (mc's with linkage names). I have a preloader in the beginning of the flash movie. However, the preloader doesn't show until (I guess) all those linked movieclips are downloaded first. Then the preloader starts showing, starting at something like 40% . How can I include the linked movieclips in my preloading, such that the preloader shows straight away, from 0% ?
View 4 RepliesAlright, so I'm trying out AS3.0, or learning to and I got some questions, which I think should be (and probably are) easy to do.Say I have an .as class file "Animal"and in the Library I have MCs - "Cat", "Dog"in AS2.0 - the MC in the library would have the class of "Animal" and I'd useattachMovie("Cat", ...) or attachMovie("Dog", ...) and it would eference the functions/script of the "Animal" .as Class.Now from what I understand, in AS3.0 - the MC in the library would have the class as "Cat" or "Dog" and I'd change the base class to "Animal" (and have my Animal.as 'class Animal extends MovieClip')Least that's how I think it works.Now let's say in my library I have "Cat1", "Cat2', "Cat3" and I wanted to attach these to the stage through a function
in AS2.0
createCat(catType:String){
this.attachMovie(catType,...)

I have a movieclip that I need to duplicate dynamically based on an outside variable.e.g. clip1, clip2, etc This variable changes so I can't hardcode the number of times it occurs.Is there a way to dynamically create this movieclip multiple times and align it according on the screen?
View 3 Repliesgetting angles, of two movieclips that are on my stage. With instance names: circle1,circle2. I read that I should use the function Math.atan2 to get the angle, in radians, then I convert it to degrees, but it doesn't make sense, the angles aren't correct.. Here I paste the code I use (its AS not PHP don't know how to add the AS tags):

But the problem is the thumbMov movies will obviously have a uniquely generated instance name i cant target directly due to the "for" loop..How can i modify what ive done to target any of the thumbMovs with the FUSE functions?
I am using attachMovie in a for(var i=1; i<50; i++) loop.Everything loads fine, but I am having difficulty referencing the dynamically created instance names.I don't want to reference individually ie movieclip1, movieclip2 etc.but more by movieclip[i].Basically - if movieclip instance 1 is rolled over I want to display image 1, and so on?

This code generates an error saying that the cStar2 property is undefined. In the example above, does the for loop create 5 copies of the movieclip starC_moov, and give them unique instance names cStar1, cStar2, cStar3, cStar4 and cStar5?

I created an flv video player using Flash Builder 4. This "BasicVideoPlayer" project is compiled into a SWC that will be eventually be used to create other video players that extend the functionality. One of the features is a view that appears when the video has finished playing that displays a "Play Again" button. This "Play Again" view has its own class, "BasicPlayAgain", that accepts a graphic asset that is exported from a .fla file that contains all of the graphic/UI assets.
In my new project, "EnhancedVideoPlayer", I'm using the BasicVideoPlayer SWC as a library to create a new video player that will add more functionality to the "Play Again" view; specifically it will add more buttons to that view.The EnhancedVideoPlayer uses a default class that extends the BasicVideoPlayer class. The BasicVideoPlayer class has a member called "playAgainScreen" whose type is BasicPlayAgain. The EnhancedVideoPlayer needs to override the playAgain member and recast it as EnhancedPlayAgain so it can control the new buttons properly.
I'm trying to load a RSL library into a flash animation developed with Flash CS5 IDE, that extends a custom class and implements an interface. I have reduced the problem to the simplest setup and find that I can have my main class extend another class or implement an interface, but not do both at the same time if I want to load an RSL.I have a very simple class to extend:
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MySprite extends Sprite

but if I want both I get the VerifyError: Error #1014 with MySprite not found and ReferenceError: Error #1065.
The use of library classes confuses me once again. I have the following situation:

Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.
View 3 Repliesi used this code with linkage to load a movieclip from library using flash action script 3

I'll do my best to keep this question as short as possible:
I've made 5 'fruit' movieclips and they're in my library.
And using so.addVariable("getNumber", "003"); in my HTML code, I'd like those particular fruit movieclips to play one after the other (and then loop).
I've had a look around for something similar, without luck, so I'm trying to make it from scratch. I got as far as getting it to load the first number and then the first type and url, but I'm stuck on getting to go onto the next type, also being able to define (with addVariable) which number's nodes gets played.
Here's an example of my XML to show the structure.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
