ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Multiple Movie Clips And Managing Them?
Dec 4, 2009
What I am looking to do is add a fire button (added) which for the entire duriation it is held down it fires bullets (functions added), i'm stuck with what codes to use for the bullets.I want to create the bullets at certain points on the x, y axis and use a function to move ALL of the bullets accross the screen at the same speed at the same time.I'm fairly sure I need a Array of the bullets but I do not know how to do this.Also I do not know how to use AS to add clips to the page.I also do not know how to remove the clips from the stage and array once they hit the 'destructor' bar out of the screen area. (I know how to use the hittest in AS3).
I'm having trouble managing the depths of my movie clips.I've got a startDrag() function and a stopDrag() function. Whenever I rollover another MC, I want the depth of that object to change to 1+ the object it rolled over.(I apologize if my English is poor)This is as far as I got, but cIndex returns the depth of the object that is currently being dragged; not the object it's hovering over... Is there a way to get that depth?[code]

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.
I have this code to use to pause animations in different areas of a .fla, for each pause I have been copying this and changing the "var timelinePause" and other items as shown after the original code, is repeating this code for each pause just junk code? is there something else from this that I can use to pause?
I have a scrolling image strip that loads images from xml. I was wondering how I could attach a border to the movie clips that the images are loaded into. I know how to use the drawing API, but I can't seem to attach a border to each movie clip. I'm posting the code below.
Code:
cliparray = []; function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {
how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!
I'm currently working on the gift cards section of a flash website for Discovery Clothing based out of Illinois. So far I have had success with every function but getting the "Add Another card" feature to work. What I would like to accomplish is displaying the input data from the Flash UI elements in a new Movie Clip to the left and then have them repeat the process to add another card. After which they would hit the 'purchase' button and see two separate items on their PayPal checkout. I was wondering if anyone might know how to do this. You can look at the Gift Cards section for yourself by visiting: [URL] then click on the "Give a Gift" wallet in the center.
I have been looking for a way to swap a movie clips when the user clicks on them.I could not find a function for swapping them, so I dynamically generate the first one, when the user clicks on it, I remove it and add another clip (hoping to repeat the same process), however, when the second one appears it not allow me to click on it - so that I can do the same again.The code is below, and I have attached the flash file for you to take a look at - I am currently working in Flash 8.
I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
way to attach multiple movieclips from the library to the stage is and name them in an appropriate way, then refer to them as if they were an array: fielder[i]. I have tried a few approaches but the closest I have got is this: (this is attached to a movieclip already on the stage).
Code: onClipEvent (load) { for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { _root.attachMovie("fielder","fielder" + [i],this.getNextHighestDepth());
I have used AS2 for a long time, and have decided it is time to start working with AS3. When attaching multiple movieclips with instance names I would normally do this (AS2):
Code: for (i = 1; i <= 6; i++) { _root.attachMovie("test_mc","test_mc" + i,(300 + i),{_x:fx[i], _y:fy[i]}); _root["test_mc" + i]._width = 26.1; }
but I am struggling to get the same effect with AS3. here is what I have so far...
Code: var mcWheel:MovieClip = new wheel(); function attachImages():void {
Let's say I have 5 .swfs that I am loading into one movie. Am I better off having each .swf load one after the other? Let's say once the first one is 50% complete, the second one starts etc. This will help bring the individual .swfs on faster but it will probably cause the overall load to take longer. Is this a correct assumption?
Using an XML file, I am pulling a series of JPG images from my hard drive onto the stage. Each of these images will need to have different mouse events placed on them that will take the user to another part of the movie, or perhaps to a different scene.
The attached code successfully pulls the images to the stage -- as JPG images -- and spaces them. What i need to do is make each of them a button or movie clip, each with a specific action (information which can be gleaned from the XML).
Eventually, I'll need to show images from this XML file based on user-selected criteria via some check boxes. And I'll also need to build some kind of "show next 9 images" and "show previous 9 images" functionality.
OK so I am dynamically adding and removing movie clips to the stage.[code]I want to be able to add that same MC from the library again later with a button press but when I try to use the same code to add the same MC (this.attachMovie("controll_pannel","controll_panne lMC",10);[code]
How to add random movie clip onMouse Move to stage from many (lets say 50) different movie clips in library? If I wanted to add one movie clip to stage I would do liko so:
ActionScript Code: stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove); function onMove(e:MouseEvent):void { var mc:MovieClip = new Ball();
I'm creating an interactive tour (pretty much a controllable slideshow) and I have multiple pictures now that, if in the correct order, will walk you around my school. You can turn left or right at doors (the picture that you're stopped at will wait for input from either the up, left, or right button and when clicked will take you to the corrisponding picture) and will eventually lead you out another entrance of the school and take you back to the main map.
My problem lies in the pictures... I have hundreds of pictures each one needing to be referanced. The only thing I have figured out is that I need to use arrays to organize these pictures and make them easier to access. I have considered using XML to organize the lists of pictures but I cannot spend hours typing out all the names of the pictures.access my pictures from outside my flash AS3 project.
Aside from the API differences (including the QoS info you can get when using a NetGroup),what are the main differences between using a NetGoup and manually managing a group of peers using NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS? Are there performance differences?
I have 6 movies that i need controling. These are named hex1, hex2, hex3 etc. When the file opens i have some action script that needs to run something like this:
I'm working on a project where in I've found it necessary to mask a background object with MULTIPLE Sprites. I've tried doing this two ways: making one "parent" sprite to which all of the other masks are childed; adding them as individual masks.
The composite strategy just sort of gave up, Flash doesn't seem to like having to search through it's render tree to do these things and the result was no visible mask or masking (just the full background image). The latter strategy failed for obvious reasons: saying Sprite.mask = so-and-so implies that setting it again will overwrite the last mask.
Is there any way to use the composite strategy? Or is there a way I can copy over all of my sprites and draw them directly into one new sprite on every frame?
I'm building a website where i have 9 thumbnails on the maintime lineWhat i want to achieve is to press on the thumbnail whichwill redirect to a movie clip each time fairly big in size and have apreloader for each thumb. Load the content before it enters thefirst frame of each movie clip since the content is fairly big insize.(3d animation)
how to load multiple movie clips on the stage? My ActionScript 3 are as below:
I declared a movie clip - "mcPhotoFrame" (i.e. an instance of "mcPhoto" movie clip) and would like to load all the pictures on the stage but after finished loading, only the last photo shows on the stage.
Is it possible to have multiple movie clips inside one variable? I want to be able to just use var._totalframes instead of mc1._totalframes, mc2._totalframes, etc... Or is there another way I can avoid copying and pasting dozens of movie clips over and over
I've created this simple birthday game where the concept is to blowout 30 candles in 15 seconds. The candles are movieclips so that when they are clicked on, they blowout. However, when the option to "try again" begins, the candles are still out.
I'm making a simple drag-and-drop style dress up game, and I want to know if it's possible to combine multiple movie clips on different layers so that they can be gragged as a single object in the game, but retain their seperate layers. For example, if I make a hat and I want the front part of the hat to be on a layer above the doll base's head, and the back of the hat to be on a layer behind it, but the hat has to move as a whole when dragged.
