ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicating Movie Clip Into An Array?

Dec 21, 2008

I am writing an interactive 'bingo' game which creates a bingo card with 20 boxes. In AS2 I used duplicateMovieClip and 'push'ed the duplicate into an array. I could them access each movie clip when clicked (to turn a cross on or off on the movie clip). My original movie clip is called symbol_box_mc and the array I want to push it into is called symbol_box I've a load of other queries about this project but one step at a time! I've defined the array earlier with... var symbol_box:Array = new Array();

Professional :: Duplicating Movie Clip Or Inserting New Movie Clip With Effect

Jun 5, 2010

CS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!

So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.

Obviously the goal is to be able to do this without applying the start/stop drag action to each ball.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating A Movie Clip With Dynamic Content

Oct 14, 2009

I have created an application that lets the user dynamically edit the content of an online greeting. I want the application to be able to duplicate the edited greeting 4 times, so the printed page will contain 4 exact duplicates.

I tried using duplicateMovieClip, but it would not duplicate the dynamic content edited on runtime.

I was able to use attachBitmap and "capture" the screen content, only to find out the resolution of the duplicates was far from being acceptable (I guess because screen resolution is only 72 dpi, and I need it to print nicely).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicating Loader.content Into Another Movie Clip?

Feb 14, 2011

I'm trying to keep a fresh copy of my loaded swf's in the loader.content while I use a copied version in my main swf. What I'm trying to do is make a slide show using a master swf to load many other slide swfs. The first time through each swf plays just fine but the second time through there can be problems with eventListeners, etc so I want to trash each slide when I'm done with it and get a fresh copy when the user wants to see it again. I've done this utilizing the cache in the browser but I'd rather use the method below.

I saw this code from: [URL] that allows you to copy movie clips so I should be able to do that with this method but I'm clueless how other then cutting and pasting code and praying that it works.

Security.allowDomain("*");
var myMovie:Sprite;
var l:Loader = new Loader();

Duplicating & Changing Movie Clip Without Changing Original?

Aug 31, 2009

I want to create another button on the main menu of my flash site. I want to take one of the existing buttons (which are set as movie clips) and modify it to show a different menu name and page link. BUT when I go into my library and "duplicate" my movie clip, change the instance name, drag it to the stage and attempt to modify it, the original changes as well. I need to keep the original the same and create a new one with the same code, frames, etc but with different static text. I keep going in circles

ActionScript 3.0 :: Inserting Movie Clips Within A Movie Clip Into An Array?

i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection

the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects

ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating A 2d Array Into A New One?

Jun 18, 2007

but in a more complex way. I have an existing 2d array that I want to copy to a new 2d array (but the NEW array can vary in size!).

For example, my current 2d array with the data:

var old_array =
[[0,1,2,3,4],
[5,6,7,8,9],
[10,11,12,13]];

And I want the new array to contain the same data as the old_array, yet if the new array is larger, it will put a zero instead of 'undefined'...like this:

var new_array =
[[0,1,2,3,4,0,0],
[5,6,7,8,9,0,0],
[10,11,12,13,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]];

ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating Clip And Scripted Movement?

Aug 18, 2004

I'm making a banner ad for work and have a part where I want to basically rain our logo for like 15 frames or so. I've started doing this manually but as you can imagine, it's a bit tedious and time consuming. I looked at Kirupa's tutorials on snow and continual motion but I'm wondering how I would go about scripting it so it does the following within mc_logorain (which is sitting on the root) on enter:

1. duplicates mc_logo many times, randomizing size.

2. Rains for a set amount of time or frames and unloads.

I think I understand the logic of what's supposed to happen, just not sure of the syntax. Would there be two loops? One for the duplicate/random size and one to say basically "while i < 100, keep duplicating and raining"?

Actionscript 3 :: Duplicating External Items Into An Array?

Mar 8, 2012

If i was loading external content, such as images or what not will the array load the items twice for example:

load = array(){
load images( "local/folder/www.example.com/" );
items("car.jpeg","bike.jpeg","bike.jpeg");
}

The above is in theory, if you notice twice i have the "bike.jpeg" image in the array; its key value would be either items[1] or items [2].

so with the above idea in mind would this bike image be loaded twice or just referenced in the array from the first initial load.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicating Object That Was Pushed Into An Array?

May 8, 2010

I successfully loaded 8 objects and pushed them into an array. The problem is that if I want to have the same object in 2 places, it deletes the old one to make a new. Ex:

I am looping through an 9x9 grid btw and goto a MySQL database to find what tile needs to be placed where.

ActionScript Code:
function onResult(responds:Object):void
{
var dbArray:Array = responds.serverInfo.initialData;

[Code].....

It will load fine but once I hit a tile that was already used, it moves it to the new square.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Cycling Through An Array In A Movie Clip?

Jun 19, 2009

I have made an array that creates a menu within a sidebar (this is embeded in a MovieClip, so that it can be tweened in and out dynamically). When you click a menu item created by the array, it loads a swf and plays it. This all works fine. My problem is this: I would like to use that same array to have a "fast forward" and "rewind" feature that plays the next or previous .swf in the array. The other kink is that the swfs need to "autoplay", as in, when one swf is done, the next in the array should start. I am stumped on how to do the fast forward, rewind, and autoplay stuff using the array...

Code:
var menu_itemArray:Array = [
{itemName:"When is it used?",itemType:1,itemSwf:"01whenused.swf"},
{itemName:"Why is it used?",itemType:1,itemSwf:"02whyused.swf"},

[code]....
