ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Particles From An Array Inside To A MovieClip
Feb 11, 2010
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<10; i++){
var p:Particle = new Particle();
[Code]....
I have this array of particles and I was wondering how can I add this particles inside a movieClip, in other words I would like to add particle "p" to a movieClip that I have on the stage with an instance name of "mainMC".
Also, is it possible to display the number of particles (p) inside mainMC in a text field? On this case I know it will be 10, but this will change.

I made a particle class following a tutorial a while ago. Basically it uses some sort of a virtual list, replacing the array method, which makes it really fast solution. So everything is working perfectly fine except the fact that i really can't understand what actually is going on. It is pretty confusing so im trying to find the logic in this stuff, unfortunately with no success.[code]

I can't address the array i've created inside the movieclip from outside!
Array name is categories, inside the templates movieclip in _root; I press a button on _root to trace the array inside the movieclip using this code:
Code:
on(release){
trace(_root.templates.categories);
}
It gives me: undefined

How can I target a movieclip that is inside each item in the array using getChildByName. Heres my code so far:
var aMC:Array=new Array(letter, envelope, parcel);
if(i< aMC.length){
var myTargetName:String = aMC[i].target.name;
var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
trace("Stamps Target: "+myTargetName);
if (evt.target.dropTarget != null && evt.target.dropTarget == myTarget) {
// do what ever here
i++;
}}

I am making a profile sort of thing, basically what happens is: You start the program... it loops, and generates 500 text fields, it stores them in an array called profile_name[]; it names them "Profile + (i+1) (i being the var used in the loop). Changes the colour to yellow, changes the size to 13. Removes the border from it and makes it unselectable (the text). It then converts the text into a movie clip (as if you made a dynamic text area, on the stage, and clicked it, and pressed f8, and converted to mc). It stores that in an array called profile_mcs[]. I need a way to access the text inside the movie clip in both they're arrays...
Example
If you go to your flash stage, make some dynamic text, call it "ptxt1", you make it unselectable, remove any border if it has one...
you name the text "test",
you select it, press f8, then convert to a movie clip called "test_text"
you name it "pbtn1" (the instance name I mean, when I say name)
If you go to the first frame of your main timeline and press f9 (action script section)
type
pbtn1.test.text = "NEW TEXT", it will name the text "test" inside the mc "pbtn1" to NEW TEXT...
However, if you store them into an array (both text and mc) you can no longer reference them like this:
MyMC_Array[0].MYText_Array[0].text = "NEW TEXT",
It doesn't show up, and making 500 if statements is to much (I think my problem may be when I traced my dynamic text inside the movie clip (that I've made on the stage) it appears as undefined.
Code:
var profile_name:Array (my text var) = [ptxt1, ptxt2, ptxt3, etc..];
I've tried doing
Code:
var profile_name:Array = [pbtn1.ptxt1, pbtn2.ptxt2]; etc..
None works,

I've made it so when you die in my game, you explode into 20 particles which usually lags the game, especially if it's being played in a browser. I'm pretty sure that it's just because of the graphics,why it's causing so much lag? I've included the AS2 just encase.

I have an array with 10 buttons with random names, so not btn1, btn2, etc but for the sake of examples, I'll use btn1, btn2 etc
each of these buttons have dynamic text like so btn1.textField.text = "something random" etc also in each of this text there is a delimitator "%#%" I can easily use
Code:
var btn1ContentArray:Array = btn1.textField.text.split("%#%");
btn1.property1 = btn1ContentArray[0];
btn1.property2 = btn1ContentArray[1];
[code]....
I was wondering if there is a more ellegant way, using arrays or something similar to make the coding cleaner and easily scalable I can also create
Code:
var arrayBtn:Array = [btn1, btn2,..., btn10];
and do a for loop, but I don't know how to use array inside array

I've been working on a little particle generator that produces intractable particles. When you click your mouse, they will move in a straight line away from where you clicked. Seems simple enough, but I can't quite get the formula right.
I want to pass two points and a magnitude scalar value into a function and have it move the particle along the line drawn through the two points, and only as far as the magnitude specifics.
For example:Let's say the particle is at the point P(10,10) and the mouse clicks at the point Q(15,15). I pass both those points and the magnitude 10, into my function.
The function then calculates the angle the particle should travel (45 degrees or PI/4 radians) and sends the particle to the point O(20,20), again, as specified by a magnitude of 10.
Edit: By the way, I'm using ActionScript 3.0, but if possible I would prefer a universal explanation in case I decide to program this in another language, or I am without a programming language when I need to figure it out.

How can I rig up an if statement that will add particles to the stage based on the ENTER_FRAME update interval?
Code:
stage.frameRate = 60;
var currentParticles:uint = 0;
var maxParticles:uint = 1000;
var particlesPerSecond:uint = 100;
[Code]...
I run into the problem, where if I choose a bigger value for particlesPerSecond than the stage framerate, I don't add the correct number of particles.

I know I am a new member but hopefully my question won't be overlooked because of this fact. Anyway, here goes. I have a new project, a flash intro, and my client wants to be able to wipe away sand particles to reveal an enter website button. I tried an simple method of wiping away a image layer like an eraser but they want it to look like actual sand particles are moving around.

You notice that their are 'particles' falling from the position of the mouse but for some sort of stupid reason they get stuck at a certain point in time.
Also, the three white bars are dragable, but i want them to swing back in to place when you release them. Is this also possible with a tween ? or do i need to code something physic-like.[code]...

I'm new to the forums here and new to AS3 (I have some AS2 experience, and lots of general programming experience).nd I've made a few tweaks, including most significantly, fading out and killing particles after a certain amount of time. But I have a problem: I can't figure out why some of my particles live longer than they should.In more detail:In particles.as, for each dust particle that gets generated, the fadeOut function should get called after half a second, and when that tween is done, the killParticle function should get called. This seems to work for most particles but every now and then a few particles will stick around (i.e. the fadeOut function won't get called)Watch the animation: linkOh, and I'd love to know if there's anything I can do to increase performance as well. This is pretty cpu-heavy right now.All my .fla file does is include particles.as. See code below.particles.as

import fl.transitions.Tween;

I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts

_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?

I'm basically trying to make a bunch of particles jump around. I've used the draw tools to draw a small red puff. When you click the puff shoots up from the cursor a few pixels before falling down.
how to call the information from this .as file in another file. This way I will take out the click functionality from the file I have done and have the puffs shoot out automatically at the mouseX and mouseY coordinates.
I eventually want to have these puffs shoot out from a character as it runs across the screen in a game I have planned. It will make it much easier to have these puffs called from a seperate file I believe.
Here is the code I have so far:
