I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for so if this is a repeat of a previous thread I apologize.
Essentially I'm looking to add multiple instances of the same mc I have in the library. I found some code while searching around, but can't seem to get it to work. I don't get multiple mc's on the stage[code]....
There must be a simpler way than to say:
PHP Code:
if(x == 5 || x == 10 || x == 15) //etc
{
y += 1;
}
Is there a way to set it so that if "x = multiple of 5" then "y += 1;"
Example of my XML list:
<listnode>
<nodeA id="1">
<nodeB id="1" />

I'm working on a presentation who loads a gallery built in a .swf file.
I'm using the following code (Actionscript 3):
var container:Loader = new Loader();
container.load(new URLRequest("gallery-v1.swf"));
addChild(container);
container.x = 0;
container.y=100;
So far so good this code works ok, loading gallery-v1.swf in the correct place. But the gallery also load a few swf itself.
The result is when I load the gallery, is placed in the correct position, but the gallery also loads other swf files on the root(?) of my project, in the 0,0 position and overlapping or clearing my job!
I'd *like* to use E4X filtering to enable users to sort some content.... the XML structure looks something like this:
<item title="" type="" />
type="" is the issue, as each item could have multiple types... for ease of use, i'd love to be able to do something like type="print, web, video"but obviously that doesnt work.... Does anyone have experience with some kind of 'tagging' structure for items loaded from XML?
I'm setting up this animation of photo transitions. Each "set" consists of a photo and two lines of text on top of it, and so forth...I based it on this tutorial [URL], and most of it works, but stumbling on how to show the two separate lines of text...I'm guessing I need another array for the 2nd line of text after "description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;" (see below) ?
function loadXML(loaded) {if (loaded) {xmlNode = this.firstChild; image = []; description = []; total = xmlNode.childNodes.length; for (i=0; i<total; i++) { image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
[Code].....
when I use:
var a = parent.addChild(cloud);
a.x=10;
a = parent.addChild(cloud);
a.x=100;
I only get one cloud made at the position (100,y) (or, the last cloud I declare is the only one to show). How do I add multiples of a movie clip ?EDIT: I tried using addChild(new cloud) but the compiler says "Call to a possibly undefined method cloud."
Lets say I have a string like so...
../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg
as you can see the set of characters of "images" in that string twice.
I need to replace the second "images" with something else. Had there only been one "images", I would have done something like this...
Code:
var url:String = "../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg";
// Pattern we are looking for in string
var imagesPattern:RegExp = images;
// Replace
AddThumb( url.replace(imagesPattern, "thumbs"));
Because there are two "images" this will not work.
im kind of new to flash, and i have a question. On my scene, i have buttons generated from a xml file that can be dragged. I took the code from a tutorial on the web and added the drag function. I also have a drop zone where i put the button and it do some function. Here is my question, when i drop the button on the drop zone, the button stay in the center of the drop zone. If i drop another button to the drop zone, i want the previous button to return to its original position. How ?
Is there some kind of function to retrieve the last button used ? But even with this function, the problem is that if you click a new button, but change your mind and click on another one without dropping it in the drop zone, the last button is not the one in the drop zone anymore.
I am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.
it is said [URL]You can download the JSON library as part of the core ActionScript 3 library.but when clicking on the link it doesn't work
View 1 RepliesHow can we import images using AS3 code so that when they are imported once will remain in the library forever..
View 3 RepliesI've got a simple question. Suppose some simple lib written on c. Did I understood correctly that alchemy compiles it AS3 before compiling it to swf. If so, will the lib be slower or faster in comparison with the same lib written on AS3.
View 2 RepliesI am making a flash app where I want to have a user defined viewport like the stage in the flash IDE which the user can use to define objects that have a starting postition somerwhere off or on the stage and an ending position either or on or off the stage with the object then tweening between the two points. My question is this: I want the user to be able to define a curved path for the object to tween along. Is there a library of code that I can use to define curved paths for the app?
Ideally I would like something similar to the functionality available in Flash, so a bezier curve sort of path that is subdivided into handles that can be dragged to define the path of the tween. If there isn't an existing library, then do you know of the functions that I would need to define (mathematical equations related to drawing curves etc)?
In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.I want to share my child swf's library with main file's library.
View 3 RepliesAs one would expect, Classes within my RSL can access the classes and methods of the embedded swcs. In other words, classes in my library can for instance call import org.alivepdf.Print and then call AlivePDF's Print.print() method. But it there any way for my project to also use those third-party classes and methods, by "tunnelling through" my RSL??? Even though my project is using my RSL, when I try to type out org.alivepdf.Print it cannot be found.(Obviously I can make a manager class in the library to "pass through" specific commands to the embedded swcs; I'm looking for something a little more generic and all-encompassing here).
View 0 RepliesLibrary 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 RepliesWhen you open the Library panel and then my a new library so like you have 2 on the screen now pretty helpful if you want to open an external and have your current project open and drag and drop right. But here is the part I don't understand you have your 2 panels open now and every time you open your Library panel 2 pop up instead of one. God forbid if you every opened like 4 or 5 of these free floating Library panels I already have 3 going and there up there. is there a way to have all your open your Library panel with out having multiple un-needed Library opening along with the one you want?

View 3 RepliesI've made a library in flex with different components and my CSS I want to use in different projects (the goal of a library....). BUT even if I can use my components, I can't use my CSS file which is in the library. When I try <mx:Style source="assets/style.css" />, it wasn't found :(
So, how I should do to have a CSS file in my library which can be use in a project ??

View 1 RepliesI'm using a XML inside my Flash to create something like an "internal database".Then I need to use that elements data to pull objects from the Library and add them to the stage using a for loop.
Here's the XML:
ActionScript Code:
var paises:XML =
<paises>
[Code].....
I believe it must be reallly simple, but not for an "AS-dumb" like me..my problem is... I need to assign a different MC from the Library to the stage every time the loop goes on.
I want to add a nice mc. It is on my library. I've checked "Export for Actionscript" and "... frame 1" checkboxes. It has a name "step2". Base class name "flash.display.MovieClip".I also have an .as that works ok.
I've included what I think I need
PHP Code:
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.*; import flash.media.*; import fl.controls.*; import fl.data.DataProvider; import flash.display.MovieClip; ...
However, when I try to create it with something like:
PHP Code:
var mc:test2=new test2() ; addChild(mc);
The debugger tells me that can't find the contant test2. Why I can access my movieclip step2?
I'm new to flash/AS3 and I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the library.I understand that when I include the line import fl.controls.Button.I need to have a button in the library (otherwise I get a compiler error) but how do I put a button there? I tried copying a button from Common Libraries into may library, but that didn't help. I also tried drawing a rectangle, dragging it to the library, and clicking on "Button" in the properties box, but that doesn't work either.
View 1 RepliesI was messing about with an idea I had to run through and handle objects, and I figured a nice way to find out what object it was I was looking at, would be to determine the name it has (the one defined in the library, not the instance name) and work from that accordingly... But I can't figure out how to retrieve its library-name? I mean, there are ways round it... No big-deal, but I just can't believe that I can't grab an object's library-name.
View 4 RepliesI have a big project in Flash CS4.Things have been normal for several weeks. Today the Library was missing. The library tab is visible. My project name is selected. But the rest of the panel is all gray. I have downloaded an update to 10.0.2. I am working on a Dell Laptop XPS M1330. I went to the Dell site and downloaded & installed the one video driver update. I also began a new project and tried to import one image into the library. It imported successfully, but the library panel is still blank.
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if there's a fancy option to rename ALL movie clips in a library at once.I want to import a full library of movie clips into a different project, but both projects have similarly named movie clips. Is there an option to import them but just add "1" to the end of the name or something? All I want to do is quickly add a letter or number to the end of a huge list of movie clips.
