ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicate MovieClips Made By Flash Drawing API
Jan 12, 2012
I have this current simple setup:
- MOVIECLIP1, with more than 30 run-time drawing shapes that modify on enterframe.
- and MOVIECLIP2, wich should contain an exact copy of MOVIECLIP1 drawed data.
The point is that MOVIECLIP2 will be as a "reflection" or "shadow" of movieclip1. I won't need to do any interaction with it, only apply filters. Is there anyway that this can be possible - rather than having to draw the same shapes twice on both movieclips?

Im using flash 8, I always used to import graphics rather than to work with original drawing tools of flash, im studding those tools and I have some questions. is there a way to do mathematic in the parameter like I can do in illustrator (I tried but nothing)?is there any way to repeat and duplicate the last transform? Comparing to illustrator?is there a way I can align the transformation point to other object?is there a way to align points?I can subtract, union...but how to get overlapped shapes?

I drew a line (stepVoltage) in a fla using the graphics class. Once drawn, I want to move it to the right in an update function, but am having trouble. I tride just moving the line with statements like stepVoltage.x = newX; stepVoltage.y = newY; but this didnt work. Then I tried to delete the previous line and draw a new one with a clear () function (see below) but this blocked the next drawn line from showing up.
The code:
var stepVoltage:Shape = new Shape ();
stepVoltage.graphics.lineStyle(2,0x000000);
addChild (stepVoltage);

I wasn't sure if I were to put this in the Actionscript forum or in here, so I put it in here. I'm making a small test for a game so I made two attached movieclips to the stage. I got them to move at each other, but when they hit, it doesn't detect it. Is there anyway i can make them hit eachother? Heres the code

I have 23 movieclips on Stage. Each one is a class of 'point', and has been given an instance name of p1, p2, p3, p4 etc.I want to reference them in code, and then get their x and y co-ords eventually.How do I make them accessible variables in AS3? in AS2 I would have put them into a for loop, and said
Code:
for(i=0,i<23;i++)

I am designing a flash game and I am having a bit of trouble with the Actionscripting, I wondered if you might be able to help me? I will try and explain how the game should function and I attach a JPG that shows the rough layout as well, hopefully from that you may be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
How it should function The idea is you have a glass that you control, left and right keyboard arrows control left and right movements and it only moves on the _x axis and the _y axis always stays at it's current value, this works fine and I have managed to add actionscript to the glass movieclip to do this, the movement also has gravity and friction which means the glass slides on a little even when you move to go the other way.
Using the Glass you need to collect falling object movieclips, there are two types, good and bad. When you catch the good it adds to your score and when you catch the bad it deducts from your score.
The falling objects need to be random and I have successfully managed to get 1 movieclip to fall by using actionscript code and also I have managed to set the _x position as random each time , the actionscript to do this has been applied to the falling object.

I'm trying to hitTest two duplicate movies clips. One is a bullet and the other is an enemy. I have them properly duplicating, but I cannot figure out how to detect a collision between the two. I've trying everything I can think of, and so far I've only been able to get the hitTest working between the original enemy and the bullet duplicates.Here is the code for duplicating the enemy:
Code:
bb++;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.target, "t"+bb, bb);

I have created an external class for a particular movieclip and I would like to link a duplicated version of this movieclip to the same class file.
Problem is I can't seem to do it. Even if I state the class as the BASE class of the new movieclip and create another random class name for it.
Is there a way I can get around this so I can assign my duplicated clip the same class name ??

I've created movieclips that duplicate and swap depths but I can't seem to get them to rotate. I want the mc to rotate when the rotate button is clicked. I have created a button file that executes the rotate function properly but I can't make it swap depths like the others. How can I get all of the functions into each object?

I'm currently trying to make a cross-hair shooter game with an additional onstage character so that you not only shoot the AI, but also dodge using the arrow keys. The problem is, I have a code saying that if the AI hits the player unload the player, the AI, and the AI duplicates. The player and the AI are unloaded, but the AI duplicates are not! I tried fiddling with the code but just can't get it to work.

I have yet another "I die-problem", not so drastic this time, though. I've only tried to solve it for two hours or so,it's killing me Well, as usual, I end up here, at the Kirupa forums.. and of course, l end up emptying the coffe-machine at work.. *runs for more espresso* It's an issue regarding the duplicateMovieClip function. I know how it works, and I know how to duplicate MovieClips using the function, however, I do have an issue figuring this out: Now, explained roughly:I have a MovieClip which contains yet another MovieClip. I want to duplicate both the MovieClip and it's child, but I want it to stay inside the parent MovieClip, just as the original MovieClip contained the original child.

I have a for-loop that creates instances / duplicates of a movie clip that works like a charm:
[Code]...
Then I position each instance- and I fill an array with the number ("pg"), because: I also have the option to switch to a different view and at that point I want / need the MoveClips to disappear. So I have a function tied to the switching that goes through a loop for all instances of the movieclip copies (using the array with the IDs from the example above) and remove them.

how can I adjust the _x and _y area positioning of this set of duplicate movieclips? 710 x 143 are the dimensions I would like the duplicateMovieClip to take place, but it is not the positioning. How can I fix this?

I am having some trouble drawing a line between two movieclips. One of the movieclips is moved with the arrow keys. The line is created between them, but every time the movieclip moved another line is created. I would like only one line to connect the two movieclips. I am trying to create some sort of "AI." When the line hits a wall, then there isn't a clear line of sight. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveguard);
function moveguard(event)

I have a bunch of copies of the same MovieClip that are dynamically created I want them to be stopped when the swf first starts.When I click on one of them I want that particular one to play.I think that I've figured out how to play a single MovieClip with event.currentTarget.play(); but I am stuck on how to stop all the clips from the start.I thought I could just use a instanceName.stop(); in my for loop, but no go.[code]I'm an artist working on a piece where I am cataloging sound recordings from people (eventually recorded live from the site... but that's a battle that I'll deal with in phase 2 and after I have a bit more actionScripting under my belt).I just wanted to explain myself a bit since Kglad, Ned, and dmennenoh have helped me a bunch through the development of the project.If your interested you can check out some of my works on my website.I know,I need to update the site, but its more fun to work on new projects.

What Im trying to do is duplicate some main button movieClips for each <dept> node. When pressed these main buttons then show a second set of buttons for as many <menu> nodes there are. In the actionScript the displayMainButtons function is used to loop through the XML and display the Main buttons. With the other 2 display functions (displayFirstButton and displaySecondButton) Im displaying another button for each <menu> node. These too works just fine, but the problem with writing it this way is that I have to write another display function for as many <dept> nodes there are. Id like this to be written so it loops through it in one function so I can add as many <dept> nodes with as many <menu> nodes as I'd like without going back into the AS code to add more display functions. And as you can see, I had to do the same to delete the buttons.

I was screwing around one day and thought I'd make a little line-drawing-thing. Basically it just attaches movie clips and draws lines between them using the drawing API. That was the easier part. Now I though I'd take it a step further and add some curves. I tried but the attached file is the best I could think of.
square.fla is the original file
lineCurve.fla is the file in which I tried to add curves.

I am a total Drawing API newb and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do what would look like a piece of string (not straight) and make it attach to 2 different movieclips. All i can seem to figure out is how to draw a straight line and I can't get it to attach to anything.

My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I am having problems dupliating a movie clip. I can make a duplicate from an original but when I edit the duplicate it also modifies what is in the original. (I am just changing the text, thats the only difference between the 2) How come it effects both clips when I only change one?

I made a simple flash video with Dreamweaver that would not play on my website and my ISP, EasyCGI said the script code was bad. So I made the flash movie again with Flash Pro using actionscript3. Now the skin shows but the movie still does not play and my ISP still says the code is bad. This is a very simple movie using nearly all default settings and I have remade it many times and I can not find an error.The loaded page is URL... and here is the page code:[code]
