Multiple Movie Clips On Stage - Buttons Not Working In Movie Clips?
Jul 15, 2009I 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A For Loop To Display Movie Clips In A Row?
Sep 4, 2009All I am trying to do is display a movieclip (just a small rectangle) and have it repeat along the x-axis, adding one to it's instance name each time. It seems to work according to the trace statements but it only displays the last movieclip.
Here is the code:
var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition();
for(var i:int = 1; i < 10; i++){ trace(i); addChild(transition); transition.x = i * 10; transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; trace(transition.name); trace(transition.x);}

ActionScript 2.0 :: Attaching Movie Clips With A Loop?
Feb 24, 2004I'm trying to make a portfolio page where each of my thumbnails loads with the 'fading grid' effect. I've made all the thumbnails movie clips with the appropriate script, and they all work fine. I've also set them to be exported for actionscript, each with a number as their name, i.e. "1" "2" and so on.
I was then planning on using the following bit of code to load these movies into my portfolio clip, to save me having to do it at author-time.
[Code]....
But for some reason, instead of loading two movies, each one 10 to the right of the previous movie, it just loads them on top of each other. Is it something to do with the stage not updating?

View 1 RepliesCreate A Movie Clip And Place Other Movie Clips Inside Of It?
Oct 6, 2009[URL]
At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?
AS3 :: Flash - Use An Timer To Execute And Loop Movie Clips Of Different Length?
May 13, 2011How would I go about using a timer to initiate multiple movie clips at once, and then loop them if they are all different lengths so that they restart in sync once more?
For example, say at t=0, 3 movie clips are started. Movie clip 1 is 3 seconds long. Movie clip 2 is 6 seconds long. Movie clip 3 is 10 seconds long. Movie clip 1 would end before movie clip 2 and 3, but I don't want it to restart until the others are both finished.
Furthermore, is it possible to set a countdown so that the the movie clips are initiated not after a duration, but after a specific time? For example, instead of having a timer countdown from 10 seconds and then playing, it instead countdowns until say 12:00 PM and then plays the movie clip.
Actionscript 3.0 :: Access Multiple Movie Clips With Loop And GetChildByName?
Nov 3, 2010All i really want to do is be able to affect multiple movieclips at once with event listeners and greensock tweens.
The first snag I hit was that I couldn't create references to movie clips using the old [] Associative array referencing method. Maybe I still can with AS3, but I couldn't get it to work...
So I found another technique using getChildByName that returns a reference to a movie clips and allows me to store that reference in a variable.
However, the movie clip I'm trying to affect with an event listener resides inside of another movie clips, so to build the address (aka, root.mc1.m2.mc3) to the mc I want to get to is proving to be difficult. (I'm very new to AS3...)
I thought the trace(target1_mc.target2_mc.name); at the bottom of the following code would output the name of target2_mc but it doesn't.[code]...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Created A Grid With Over 200 Movie Clips Dynamically Using A For Loop?
Dec 9, 2005I've been staring at the screen too long and I'm sure the answer is simple but this has been bugging me for a bit now. I've created a grid with over 200 movie clips dynamically using a for loop. I was wondering if there was a way to assign rollovers and such to each new clip using the same loop.
I've been poking around with it a bit but can't seem to get it working and sure don't want to write over 200 rollover functions so any help would be great.

View 2 RepliesAS2 :: Professional - Loop To Include All Movie Clips In The Array Without Having To Type Out All Their Names?
Sep 1, 2010I have a simple array of movie clips ("box1" "box6") that I have created on the stage. I then have a simple onRollOver function that is iterated for each of these movie clips, as shown below. As it is now it's working fine, but I can forsee two potential problems for when I use larger arrays and apply this technique to my real working files.
If I were to have many more movie clips, the first line of code would be much longer as it lists each movie clip instance name. Is there a way to use, for example, a for loop to include all these movie clips in the array without having to type out all their names? As you can see here, I have used a simple numerically-incremented naming process. I think the problem may be that I am using movie clips with instance names assigned on the stage and not created through ActionScript.The function as I have created it makes all the movie clips gotoAndStop(1) and then the one that has been rolled over goes to frame 2. Is there a way of making all the movie clips in the array except the one that has been rolled over gotoAndStop(1), ie. is it possible to exclude the rolled-over movie clip from the first part of the function? Here it works just fine as it is, but I'm thinking that maybe when I start using more complex functions with tweens etc it may cause problems. Or not?

May 27, 2009Suppose I've got 2 movie clips on the stage. box_mc and triangle_mc. I want to set up a way so that whenever I trigger the event, such as pressing a key (like
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
//stuff that activates it
}
[Code]...
if I push the Space key again, it would start from the top (1) and repeat the sequence. The sequence would otherwise stop at 4. Previously I've been using counters inside an onEnterFrame such as counter = counter +1; if counter > n, counter = n; etc. This seems tedious and I'm hoping there's a better way to do this. I do not understand watch and timer functions of actionscript (they never seem to work for whatever project I'm occupied with).
Flash :: Movie Clips On Stage?
Aug 20, 2009I have used Flash on and off over the years but I've decided to hunker down and learn it in earnest. We have cs4 at work and I am having this problem.I checked out the differences between a graphic symbol and a movie clip, and it seems that the movie clip has some distinct advantages. But the main disadvantage is not being able to see what happens on the stage as it plays. How can I get around this limitation? Why does it even exist in the first place? I understand that scripting can complicate how it plays, but for example if I am making a straightforward animation, but parts of it depend on other parts that are in separate symbols, how can I see what is going on at a specific frame on the stage overall?

IOW I'm having to make the layer on the scene stage that i drag the movie clip onto 2000 frames long in order to see the nested 2000 frame movie clip play.Seems like in the past I could get Movie Clips to play and loop and what not from the main scene/stage without doing this.
