on my main timeline there is a movieclip ("sampleMc") which contains a number of labeled frames containing movieclips of gallery images (for example "dyerBikiniMc"). in turn, each of THESE movieclips contain a number of frames of detail shots of the main image (for example "dyerBikini00Mc, dyerBikini01Mc, dyerBikini02Mc, etc.").on the main timeline i have a gallery navigation bar with thumbnail buttons determining which image will be displayed. there's also a right arrow shaped button "detailsBtn" that i'd like to allow the user to click frame-by-frame through the detail shots of the image. i also have a before/after toggle button on the main timeline that needs to control the movieclip one level below that, where the before/after images of that particular detail shot are stored!
I'm using flash MX 2004 Professional. What im trying to is the following: I have 9 movie clips, each has a "closed" and "open" state. Basically, when I click no.1 I want it to animate open, and then, when I click no.2, it must first check if any of the other clips are in their "open" state and if so, close them. I've worked with the following, but it doesnt seem to be working:
On my stage, I have a bunch of movieclips with sequential instance names ("toggle1", "toggle2", etc.). I also have another bunch of movieclips, each with their own sequential instance name ("name1", "name2", etc.).How can I set it so that when I click on a "toggle" movieclip, a specified property changes on the "name" movieclip with the same number.Here's what I have so far.
ActionScript Code: for (var i = 1; i <= 16; i++) {[code]....
I have this function that loads swfs dynamically using the same variable
var Xpos:Number = 420; var Ypos: Number = 155; var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
I want to use the same idea for movieclips that I have in my library They are already imported for as.30, but I can't figure how to dynamically place them and take them out of the stage using the same variable.
I have a movie clip and inside that movie clip there is a button. I will be copying this movie clip 40+ times. When you click the button it must seek out the reference name of the movie clip it is nested in. The point of the script on the button is to make all other boxes but its self vanish. The script needs to know what box it is so it can make all boxes but it's self vanish. I know that _name returns the name of the object the code is on but what about the movie clip the object is in maybe _parent._name?
I recently started learning Flash and Actionscript and now I'm trying to write an actionscript for the first time. Im doing this in Actionscript 2.0.I have a movieclip that consists of two images and one dynamic text field with a variable. The name of the images are "VS1_P1_RUN" and "VS1_P1_OFF" and the name of the dynamic text field is "pumptext". In the dynamic text field I have the variable "VS1_P1_Ind". VS1_P1_Ind is probably a boolean variable as it shows 1 or 0 in another program but in Flash it shows True or False (not sure if Flash thinks it's a text/word or a boolean).My script is supposed to display the image named VS1_P1_RUN if the variable of the dynamic text field pumptext shows the text True and it goes like this:[code]
So I'm completely stuck in what to do. The bottom code works as it should but I want the images to show depending on the value of the variable VS1_P1_Ind. I thought just changing the text field to dynamic and typing the variable name in the variable field would do it but no.If it could be a clue to the solution I'll also share that the value of the variable is not seen/shown in textfield while inside the movieclip. Creating a dynamic textfield outside of the movieclip shows the value of the variable just fine, True/False.
I'm creating a pacman game and basically I'm having trouble coding the enemies (ghosts), the code works perfectly with just one ghost, as soon as I add another it starts to go wrong.Firstly I've got this function which places the enemies:
Code: //places the enemies function placeEnemies() {
I am doing the following Code: Select allvar a:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); addChild(a); Now what I want to do is I want to create six more mc i.e., a2,a3,a4,a5,a6. I want to accomplish this using loop like this: Code: Select allvar i:Number = 0; while(i < 6){ var a:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); addChild(a); }
So with above method how can I give different names link above to var a? Then I am using all of these var as following: Code: Select allvar cube:Cube = new Cube(new MaterialsList({ front:a , left:a2, right:a3, top:a4, bottom:a5, back:a6}),200, 200, 200,10, 10, 10); scene.addChild(cube); How can I use those dynamic name here?
I have a MovieClip ("mc3" that moves dynamically) inside of a MovieClip ("mc2" that moves dynamically) that is on the stage ("stage" that is static). I need to find the value of mc3's x in relation to the stage? I need to make it into a variable. I am trying to do the math, can't figure it out. Also tried localToGlobal and failed.
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)?
Is there a way to reference multiple movieclips using a single variable name? For example,I'm making a side-scrolling game, and there's going to be many platforms, and I have some code that tells the player not to fall through these platforms, but I don't want to copy and paste the same "platform" code every time I add a new platform.
On my stage I have 5 items labeled item1_mc, item2_mc, item3_mc and so forth...they all have two keyframes on their respective timelines, one labeled "active" and the other "inactive". My code contains 2 arrays, inactiveArray and activeArray and a variable known as energy that regularly goes to and from 0 - 100.What I am looking to achieve is basically the function of...if energy >= "insert given items 'active threshold' 20, 40, 60, etc..." then add it to the activeArray, if it is not, remove it and add it to the inactive array.
all objects in activeArray gotoAndStop("active"); all objects in inactiveArray gotoAndStop("inactive");
I have tried many different ways of achieving this effect but I always end up with duplicates and extras or something doesn't move when it's supposed to, where it's supposed to, it just ends up into a giant cluttered mess and I start from scratch.
I need to remove some movieclips that are attached dynamically so they do not show up underneath the new movieclips that will be attached when a user clicks the next button. I've tried removeMovieClip with little success. I am able to remove one or two of them, but not all. I need all of the previously attached movies gone.
Here is the as2 for it. PHP Code: //Set functions function show_movie() { menu_mc._visible = true; buttons_mc._visible = false; teacherinfo_mc._visible = false; } function displayInfo() { [Code] .....
I have a mc (changeColorMc) and three movieclips. The three movieclips are created on the fly (so there could be more movieclips) and filled with a color from an Array. This works fine.
Now I want to add an eventlistener for each movieclip, so when someone push one of the movieclips the movieclip with the name "changeColorMc" gets that same color from the colorArray.
My question is: How can I pass the color value from the colorArray to the buttonPressed function? Is this possible?
I was also thinking that I had to create three buttonPressed functions ie. buttonPressed1, buttonPressed2 and buttonPressed3 and attach these to the created movieclips.. but how? Because I don't know up front how many movieclips there will be..
I am writing a simple game in which the hero will need to jump on a trampoline. The thing is there are various trampolines (set as instance name tramp1, tramp2, tramp3 etc, and only one trampoline will be active at any given time. I have set a variable _global.level which decides which trampoline is active but how do I do the hit test?
So far I have: trampland = _parent.ground.tramp2.spring.hitTest(this._x+8, this._y+32, true); if (trampland) {go and do something} But how do i tell which 'tramp' to use? I have been trying _parent.ground.tramp[_global.level].spring, But to no avail.
is there any way to control the brightness of a movie clip or button on mouse roll over so that it gets brighter when the mouse is on it? I could only find things for earlier versions of AS and i couldnt figure out how to change them..
I have a movieclip on the main timeline with instance name "rpm_display". Inside that movieclip I have another movieclip with instance name "dial_graphics". My actionscript is on this timeline. The tween that uses "dial_graphics" drives "rpm_digital.rpm_counter.text" to compute a value based on the tween position of "dial_graphics".
I need to move the movieclip "rpm_digital.rpm_counter.text" outside of movieclip "rpm_display", but it will not work when its on the main timeline. I have tried having it on the main timeline and putting the actionscript there too using "rpm_display.dialgraphics", but this did not work...
I am trying to figure out how to control 3 movieClips on the screen via XML. I can successfully control one, but I want to control all 3 if the XML has the values.
Here is my code: var ducks:Array; var myLoader:URLLoader; var i:uint; var xPos:int; var yPos:int; var myXML:XML; [Code] .....
I think I would need to create some sort of list for each specific node (arrayPos, xPos, yPos, isvis) and then run a for loop so that each movieClips values get assigned properly. I have uploaded the .fla and XML for anyone who wishes to view it.
I have a beginner question, apologies for rusty language and incorrect references.I have 3 movie clips on the stage. Their identifiers are 'dim', 'bright' and 'source'. What I want to happen is when the user clicks on the 'dim' movie clip, the alpha of the movieclip 'source' is set to 20. So I tried to write the following:
How do I control the timeline from a movieclip from within itself?I made a menubutton for a school assignment. To make it, I created a movieclip of the button's graphic, with on the second frame the button again but with the menu open (haven't added anything in it yet).Opening the menu is as easy as
Code: menu_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,openMenu); function openMenu(evt:Event):void{
I have an animation of a spinning globe made from 2 maps placed back-to-back and a circular mask over them. The animation loops endlessly to simulate a spinning globe. This animation was made into a movieclip (globeSpin) which is nested inside another movieclip ontainer_mc). I want to stop the spinning effect when a user mouses over and start it up again when they mouse out. Code is below:
I have created 3 movieclip buttons which have a total of 3 states eachUP, OVER and Pressed.What i am wanting to do is create a fuction that will change the state of an already pressed button back to its UP state. For exampleButton one is press and will stay in its state untill button 2 or 3 are presses then it will revert back to its up state.My way of tackling the problem was to target a frame in the movie clip that I wanted to change such as this:
I need to dynamically attach a movieclip from a library and then make it move across the screen.This is quite easy for one movieclip instance, but what I need is to have movieclips spawn at regular intervals then move accross the screen.[code]My question is, how do I continuously attach movieclips without making so many variables? Is my method of attaching even alright for this purpose?
I'm working on a picture of cell phone, which I want users to be able to click on the number pad and have the numbers appear on the screen. Seems simple enough but I'm having trouble making the numbers appear in order just like phones in real life do. For instance, the screen starts with four *'s until "1" is clicked, then when the next number is clicked(let's say 3) I want the screen to display "13**" and so on.What I have is a movieclip with 11 frames (* and numbers 0 to 9), and 4 copies of them are each named p1,p2,p3,p4. They would be on the cell phone "screen" and display numbers clicked by the user. Then I have buttons acting as number pad with actionscript as follows:
ActionScript Code: //for button "1" on (release) {
