ActionScript 2.0 :: Generate Random AttachMovie - Create An Array With All The Objects That Belong To Container

Feb 17, 2006

I'm developing a game and the objective is to drag some objects to a container. Some objects add points, and some other subtract points. So, all the objects are in the library and have a linkage name to be called by attachMovie. I want to create an Array with all the objects that belong to container, like for example filename1 = ["obj1", "obj2", "obj3"]; etc... I have a var called count1 that defines the number of objects to appear on the Scene

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Objects From Other Objects?

Jul 24, 2010

I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Objects Using Math.random?

May 4, 2011

basically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?

Code:
var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3");
var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1));
if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")

ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash 8 Pro] Load Random Array Element And Loop For Random Intervals?

Sep 30, 2006

I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.

While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Putting Data Into An Array Via XML And Then Selecting At Random An Image String To Load In A Pic At Random

Feb 11, 2009

I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.

Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does Setting An Array Of Objects To Null Erase The Objects From Memory

Apr 27, 2010

I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.

While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".

Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects Already On The Stage?

Nov 10, 2009

I'd like to be able to access some objects which are on the stage before compile time (e.g. in my .fla file). I can do this fine from the document class using the names I've assigned to them, but I need to be able to do this from other classes (instantiated at runtime) too.
 
What is the best way to go about this? Can I use the stage variable (this isn't looking likely from what I've read so far) somehow? Or do I need to pass in references to these objects from my document class when I create the instances of the class that needs to access them?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects From Other Classes?

Jan 7, 2012

I want to access an object from a class in which it was not created in. I have a main class (A) in which I create and instantiate an object (of class B), from this class I can obviously do whatever I want with the object, no problem. The issue I'm having is another class (C) needs to access the object in question to change its x and y location values. Class C doesn't know what the instance of class B, created in class A, is; this doesn't surprise me, but I can't figure out how to allow class C to get access to what class A created.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects With Linked Classes?

Sep 15, 2010

So I have a menu built inside of Flash CS4 that has a graphic for a background and five text fields that sit on it for menu options. The whole thing is saved as a movie clip in the library. The text fields all have instance names like infoBtn and mapBtn etc. and the menu is already on the stage and linked to it's own class in the library. My problem is accessing those text fields on the menu from the class. I keep getting "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." and the menu doesn't work. But if I trace the infoBtn.text in the class it outputs the text that is in the text field. So the code is accessing it but it's still not working?

Code:
package classes
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing AddChild Objects Indiviually

Dec 15, 2009

I'm a seasoned AS2 developer who's been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of ActionScript 3.0. I'm working on revising an old project coded in AS2 that needs to be re-coded in AS3 and It's been slow going. I have a question regarding addChild (attachMovie) function. My scenario is as follows: I'm pulling data from an XML file that dynamically builds a scroll list from items in the library. Each item in the list has an individual button function attached to it. I'm generating my list just fine, but I can't access the items as individual buttons. Instead, it seems that the entire list has the properties of the last child added.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Objects When Accessing A Public Function?

May 4, 2009

I have (may be a simple solution needed) a problem with a class I've wrote. I've wrote a class named Navigation [URL] and in there I make all the buttons for the navigation. Next to that I have a Ipage class [URL] and in there I have all the pages stored. When I click on a button, the Navigation Class is called and tries to access the public function ChangePage in the Ipage class. In the ChangePage function I trace if the function is called and the trace comes back. So it works... BUT if I want to access another object it's not working. I can't even set sprites on visible = false.

Flash :: Sorting An Array So That 3 Types Of Objects Are Evenly Distributed Throughout The Array?

Oct 17, 2011

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.

If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z

HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

I'm currently working on a game. I'm breaking down each piece of the game into individual classes and movieclips. The intro begins by going to the main menu which is a MC in my fla library. This is called through the document class. then all actions the main menu MC performs are commanded through the MainMenu class. When starting the actual game, MainMenu calls a function from the document class, after it is removed from the stage, that puts an empty movieclip called Level on the stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing MovieClip Objects On Parent MovieClips?

Sep 11, 2009

So for my main timeline:

var lightBox:mc_lightbox = new mc_lightbox();
lightBox.x = 300;
lightBox.y = 200;
addChild(lightBox);

I get a lightbox up on the screen, within the lightbox is some more script, there are three menu options for that new window. So far when you click on it the loading part comes up just fine but whenever I have it go to another scene it leaves behind the lightbox above. I'm able to removeChild(loading) because its right there just a function above but I'm unable to removeChild(lightBox) because it's one up. How can I access that child? I tried many variations of parent, MovieClip, and root relationships but still couldn't get flash to find it.
