ActionScript 2.0 :: Access Functions Inside Dynamically Attached Clip?
Jan 29, 2009I've got clips being attached using attachMovie (clips are in the library with linkage id's).
inside those clips are two functions. I'm trying to access those functions after I attach the clips, but not getting anywhere.
I assume that the methods of my attached clip (the functions) aren't available immediately, but rather after the clip actually 'loads' to the stage they are.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload Jpegs Of A Dynamically Attached Mc?
Mar 22, 2004Well onjce again I have been scanning the threads and cant find a direct solution to my problem, or at least I dont know how to implement it if I have :s Anyway what I am doing is this.I am doing the website for a furnitre company that has a large product catalog, around some 200 photos. In the main swf. I have all the thumbs and when I click on one thumb depending on what category it is, it will load the external swf. and also a variable that says which photo to show (which frame to go to).
for examplle if I click on a thumb of a bed it will load beds.swf with a photo value of 6, which will go to frame 6 in the beds.swf. Now in beds.swf I am attaching a movie clip with an instance name of beds dynamically into an mc called photo_holder using the attachMovie function.
The beds movie clip has 40 - 50 keyframes with an mc on each frame which then holds the bitmap. So the target to one photo would be _root.photo_holder.beds_attached.bed1 Then I have a gotoAndStop(photo); action where photo is the variable I loded from level0. the problem is the following.
I can add a preloader onto a scene before everything, however, I only know how to make the preloader load all the photos. I dont want to do this cause if the user wants to view one photo, they have to wait for all 50 high res photos of beds to load, of course, they wont have to wait for the next bed they click on but its still a pain.
I tried doing some tests last night using the getBytesTotal() function but it only seems to return a value if what I am targetting is in the same frame number where I have that action. Otherwise it returns undefined. Since this clip is loaded dynamically, I have no idea how to preload something that hasnt been called on yet. Or in other words, get the Total Bytes of a photo before showing it, or whatever. Its kinda hard to explain,

Aug 21, 2006I want to target ALL the 20 clips attached as below, at the same time, when I press the button "blue". However, my code can target only ONE of the clips at any time. I have tried attaching the clips to a separate dynamic clip and then targeting it but problems with the registration point (0,0) of that clip means I cannot achieve the result I want:
Code:
for(i=0;i<20;i++){
mc = this.attachMovie("red","red2"+i,i);
var scaleFactor:Number = Math.random() * 80 + 20;
mc._x = Math.random()*500;
mc._y = Math.random()*400;
mc._xscale = scaleFactor;
mc._yscale = scaleFactor;
blue.onRelease = function(){
new Tween(mc,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,mc._xscale,200,3,true);
new Tween(mc,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,mc._yscale,200,3,true);
}}

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Attached Buttons & Centering Loaded Images
Aug 9, 2004what it has to do is to generate "j" buttons (j being the number of registrations from my database) and arrange them in rows of 5 or 6. unfortunately the buttons are generated but are not arranged properly. i have 9 registrations in the database so there are 9 buttons... the first 8 are next to each other and the last one is somewhere to the right.further on, at the release of a button it should create the lwLogo movieclip and load there a certain pic (the path being taken from my database). then the lwLogo mc should be centered on the screen... as this doesn't happen in the _root the center of the screen would be -442 in this movie clip so normally to center the image i should place lwLogo at -442-(lwLogo._width/2) but this doesn't work. the photos are loaded but not in the center.[code]

Aug 12, 2011I'd been working on a side-scrolling shooter game in AS2 for a while and it was going great, but for whatever reason, it scrolls all choppy and the framerate is inconsistent on faster machines. I would have expected the opposite, but it is what is is, I guess. So I'm trying to finally learn AS3, and I found some tutorials that got me started towards remaking what I had, but now I'm stuck.I'm trying to make one of those rotating cannons that shoots projectiles towards the mouse cursor. I have the rotation part working, but I'm having trouble with attaching the projectiles to the stage with enterFrame actions on them.I feel like I'm pretty close to a solution, but I don't understand where to put the functions to move the clips to make them work properly. In AS2, I just put something like this on the cannon clip:
Code:
bullet = _root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+_root.bullets, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:nozzledot.pointx, _y:nozzledot.pointy});

I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Data From The Text Boxes (e.g. TextField.text) For Use In The Functions Called By The EventListeners Attached The Buttons?
Nov 1, 2008The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?
