Can I make an array of movieclips, and then make all of them visible? some-thing like:
ActionScript Code:
myArray[1] = new MovieClip();
myArray.visible = true;
[code].....
I mostly use flash for the animation, so my action script tends to be mostly functional.
I am now however having an issue, i am using a variable called language which I am setting in frame one as "dutch", "english" , "german" etc... Im then using this to set dynamic text as appropriate in each frame as necessary.(and yes i may switch this to case statements )
if (language == "dutch")
{ tcMC.peasantBubble1.peasantSpeech.text= "Bescherm je een schat?"};
My problem is however that one Movieclip does not see the language variable.
Is there anway in CS4 i can direct it to where it is, or define the varibale instead to be global (perhaps id have to change it from a string though)?
I want to make a little thing pop up when I put press a button... Would the best way to do this by doing a - movieclipname._visible = true/false
View 3 RepliesI have one button, that when clicked should display several images, one at a time. At the minute they are all just coming on together, how do i seperate the functions so they come on individually, for example like bullet points, e.g click once and image1 appears, click again and image2 appears etc... so eventually all of the images are on screen, but they don't all just appear together, if that makes sense!

It should work. It doesn't. Similarly does not work on buttons which are also too numerous to mention, so making them visible one at a time would be an untold hassle. I would love these five arrays to be bunched in a subarray but right now getting it to work, period, is job one.
When I was using Flash CS4, it published a HTML file that showed the text content of the movie, which made it easy for search engines to index the site. However, in Flash CS5.5, I notice it doesn't appear to do that anymore.
What do I do (step-by-step) to make my movie content visible to search engines?

View 2 RepliesI have my main menu movieclip placed on the main stages and I use it to load some external swfs. However when I load them, the menu disappears because it is covered by the loaded swf. How can I set the depth of my top menu so that will always be visible when the external swfs are loaded? Should the depth be set on the main time line or inside the main manu movie clip? This is the code in my main menu that I am using to load the swfs but my main menu is a movie clip placed on the main timeline...
Code:
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/welcome.swf");
loader.load(defaultSWF);
stage.addChild(loader);

I have six movie clips positioned across the stage and a following row of six movie clips below it. All of them move up the stage and are activated with a separate key press and it works ok first time. The following times going up the stage, the fifth and sixth movie clips are not visible on the first row, but are on the second row. The following code is what I am using for each clip - just repeated and named accordingly.
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, leftbubbleMove);
function leftbubbleMove(e:Event):void {
if (leftbubble_mc.y > - 150) {
trace(leftbubble_mc.y);
leftbubble_mc.y -=2;

View 3 RepliesI am looking to have the timeline continue (gotoAndPlay basically) when the movieclips in the frame are visible.I'm trying to make a simple game where the user clicks differences and they (movieclips) are made visible in a table of discovered differences.When these movieclips are visible, the timeline should continue to the congratulatory frame.I was given the following code:
if(mc1._visible && mc2._visible && mc3._visible && mc4._visible){
somemovieclip.gotoAndStop("someframelabel");
}
I have replaced 'mc1' .etc with the instance names of the table entries recording what differences have been found. However, I don't know where to put this script (i assume it's on the frame where the movieclips become visible when differences are clicked). In addition, what do i replace 'somemovieclip' with?
This was something I looked at a while back but couldn't figure it out. Now returning to give it another go.Basically I want to find out how to check if a movieclip is visible under a mask.I've got a row of thumbs in a movieclip under a mask. Some are out with the the masked area so I've got some script to make the movieclip scroll the other thumbs into view of the masked area. Is there any code I can apply to the thumbs to check if they are in or not in view of the masked area?

View 2 RepliesI'm creating an exercise where I have five movieclips that at first their alpha are at 0% and then they are shown randomly and I want to verify if they are all visible (100%) a text message (a dynamic text field) will be displayed. What I want you to explain me is how do I do this verification. Do I need to do this with an IF condition?
View 4 RepliesIf I have a MovieClip with its "visible" property set to "false", would it aid performance to "stop()" its timeline? Or will that have no effect, since its not being rendered, anyway?
View 3 RepliesI am creating circle shapes with timer (currently with 40 ms delay) so every second it creates 25 circles, it then tweens few of their properties.I have left just the alpha which is important (for simplicity) .On the complete of each tween it tweens each circle's alpha back to 0, and then removes each circle from the stage.
so after I stop the timer, i can still see 20/30 circles on the stage for about a second until they dissaper.I wanted to push those circles in an array so that when I stop the timer, I put all visible circle's alpha to 0, or just remove them all together, so that they immediatelly disappear from stage.
but I also need to remove those circles from array which have already disappeared, so that I always have only visible circles in an array. (not million of them)(notice that tween time is math.random for each circle)
how could i remove them from an array in the same timer event?[code]...

I've made a draggable menu for a flash site (menu_mc), but the buttons don't work inside the movie clip when I apply startDrag. To remedy the problem, I simply made another movie clip (menubuttons). I now want to more or less attach the two movieclips:
Code:
if (menu_mc.moveTo(x,y)) {
menubuttons.moveTo(menu_mc.x,menu_mc.y)
};
I also tried some pretty iffy statements:
Code:
menubuttons._x = menu_mc._x
That last one works initially, but when I move menu_mc, menubuttons stays put.
I have a movieclip that effectively functions as a button, which we'll call BtnA. When I click it, another movieclip containing the content (CntntA) fades in (this mc is on another layer). Then when I click another button (BtnB) CntntA fades out and CntntB fades in. I've got all this working fine for now, but the problem I have is that once BtnA is clicked, it is still clickable and it fades CntntA back in even though it is already active. Is there a way to disable BtnA after CntntA has appeared? So u can still see it, but you cant click it? Obviously I'll need to do this with BtnB and any future buttons I add
View 1 RepliesI have twenty movieclips on stage with these names:

This that not work.
When you click on a movieclip in the menu, it is then copied and added to the container_mc movieclip.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to make the movieclips draggable once they are in the container_mc.
I tried the following as a test but its only working for the existing movieclip, not the new one like I want it to[code]...

I am basically trying to duplicate a movieclip by using a button.. (no probs there).however, i want to drag each movie clip individually.. ( my brain froze)here is my butchered code..// graphic is the mc i wanna drag, n is the textfield that i want to count up.

addmore = "graphic" add n;
duplicateMovieClip("graphic", addmore, n);

I have several movieclips placed on the timeline that I want to be invisible and not run until the user clicks a button. The movieclips are linked to a class I set up:
Code:
class Hidestop extends MovieClip {
function onLoad() {
[Code]....
The problem is that some, but not all, movieclips show briefly when they load before becoming invisible. I can get around this by starting each movieclip with a blank frame, but there must be a better way.
I have dynamically attached a number of movieclips inside a another movieclip on the stage, and now I want them to act as buttons, but I can't work out how. They are named as they are created, so I know I can target them, but as to how to assign an onRelease functions to them I have no idea.I don't want to hard code a load of onReleases, as the number of movieclips will change depending on outside data, how I could do this with a loop or something, given that I have an array of their names?
