ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Game - Can't Add Level Movie Clip To The Stage
Apr 10, 2010
I'm creating a game, here is a screenshot: I'm trying to implement a scene system in an easy way (I'm a beginner). In this tutorial the author adds scenes as movie clip. So I tried making a movie clip with action script export name the same as my main .as file. When I add it to the scene manually, dragging and dropping from the library, it works. But when I try adding it from a new starting .as file, I get a #1009 error. Adding a test movie clip with the same code works.

Is there any way to set the depth level for a movie clip that is dragged to the stage, rather than created in Action Script.

I have a function that attaches a movie clip to the stage each time at a new level.
myLevel++
attachMovie("myMovieClip", "instanceName"+myLevel, myLevel)
}
At the moment it works just fine but I want to target specific instances and I can't work out the instance names.I am trying this..
instanceName[myLevel]._x = 400

I have a gallery which is created from the following scipt:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("images",100);
this.attachMovie("mask","mask",101);
etc....,
with the gallery still present i want a movie clip to appear ON TOP of this.
How is this done? i understand i need to set the z level but cannot find a simple explanation of how to do it. I do not want the image to be transparent (i've found lots of explanation on how to do this!)

If I writing actionscript on the _root level, but I want to reference a movieclip that is on a different level, how would I go about doing this?I know that if it was reversed I would something like this:_root.home_btn.onRelease = function () {Would I just do the name of the level, "_level2.home_btn.onRelease = function() { ?

Here is my dilema. I need to know how to find what level a specific movie within a movie on the main timeline is on.
I am confused because I am not even using external swf's so there should be no levels
I have tried finding the level using
_root.moviename
_level0.moviename
but when i try to assign this to an array variable it outputs as undefined.I have been able to put some other movies in arrays using _level0.moviename
but these movies are nested inside a main movie that is found on the main timeline.

I just start to give the firsts steps in Flash5 ActionScript, then I would like a pacient help, because I can't to do this.I have an intro (Instance Name: logo) and another movieclip (InstanceName: back).The intro starts(logotipo), on the middle they calls the other movie clip(back in tell target "go"). This movie (back) that would to be the background of the all scene and of the "logo" too.First problem. I want to invert the levels of the movieclips because I want the mclip(logo) always on stage and the "back" on _level0.That can be possible?! How??On the end of the MovieClip(back) I' ve got the action:loadMovie("menu.swf", _level20).The "menu.swf" is a menu bar with the buttons. When I press a button is to change the action of the movieclipe(back) on the _level0.

I can't seem to unload a movie, I've tried every possible actionscript code and still it won't go away. My objective is to run in the main stage a sub menu and for that I've done sub pages each one with a previous and next button (inside the movie that will be loaded), and that's the catch. I can't put the loadMovieNum in 0 level because it would replace the main stage. So I'm trying to do on the button:
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(1); // it was loaded into level 1
loadMovieNum("new_item.swf",1); // he overlays both movies with transparency
}
Is there anyway to remove the actual movie and replace it with the new one?

I have some (Eg. 10) Movie Clips on bottom of the Stage (aligned horizontally) with different sizes (different width & height). I want them to align vertically on middle of the stage with same gap (irrespective of their sizes) in between 2 Movie Clips. Is it possible using AS3 code?

I'm sorry if this post breaks forum conventions, but I searched and didn't find a solution in past posts.
I'm writing a function that highlights components of the animation I've created.
It does this by creating a white box on top of the entire stage, tweening it's alpha value from 0 to 80, and creating a new instance of the movie clip to be highlighted on top of that white box.
I run into a problem when I need to highlight components that are movie clips nested within ones on the top/root level.
When I duplicate instances of nested movie clips, they just exist within the movie they were nested in.
I want to pull those duplicated, nested movie clips into the root area so it rests on top of that white box I just mentioned. How do I take a nested movie clip and pull it out of it's parent onto the top/root level?

how do i load a movie clip SYMBOL at the highest level and then unload it.
i dont want a SFW or JPG to be loaded- that would be one of the symbols from the same swf file.
the issue is- i have used "getNextHighestDepth()" to create movie clips.. now i need to add a box on top of that- so again, i will have to use "getNextHighestDepth()" - which im having hard time to unload (when i use duplicateMovieClip) -

I have a movie that's 500x400 px in level 0 and has lots of thumbnails with pictures that I want to open. the thumbnails open a 500x400 px movie above the other but on level 1. the problem is that when the new movie loads on level 1, the thumbnails on level 0 (that are now hidden by the new movie) are still active, and if i click anywere in the movie on level 1, it trigger an action from level 0. Is it possible to load a movie to level 1 that deactivates the movie in level 0 without unloading it?

how to add a movie clip to the stage from the library but i'm strugling to do it when the I need to load a movie clip from the library when the name of the movie clip is held in a variable.
for(var i:Number = 0; i < 64; i++)
{
var blueIconS:blueIcon = new blueIcon();
addChild(blueIconS);
[Code]....
The above code works for adding the blueIcon but I have a variable in that loop which tells which icon to load.
sectorsMCs[jewelsIDs[i]]
The above will tell me what MC name to load but how do I load a MC from library by that variable value?

I want to play a short movie clip at the begining of this flash game. I'm not sure what is the best way to go about doing this. I was thinking to create the clip on its own seperate layers and then just move my action script keyframe that contains all the code for the game after all the frames needed for the clip to play. Or do i need to make it a seperate .fla and just import it, i'm not sure how to do it.

I'm creating a game in which the user gets three wrong answers, and the fourth wrong answer ends the game. Each wrong answer is shown as a child movie clip getting attached to a parent in one of 3 movie clips on the stage.When all 3 movie clips have child clips attached, and a 4th child clip tries to get attached, the game ends. Anybody know how to write a script for this?

i am working on a game called "virus". you click somewhere on the screen and the virus goes to where you click. you have to dodge random moving white blood cells, and if you hit them you lose. everything is working. except for one thing. scoring.
i have made a movieclip with a dynamic textbox in (score), and in the movie clip there is a section where the number in the score textbox goes up really quickly, a section where is goes up medium, and a section where it goes up slowly. i want to make it so that when you get closer to the center of the movie, for the score to go up quicly, and slower as you get further out. i have tried hittest with movie clips in the centre of the stage, but it doesnt seem to work.

I have a drag and drop game where each movie clip is a word that the player has to arrange on screen in a certain order of importance - there is no snapping mechanism and the user can place the words anywhere desired.
Later in the game, I need this list of words to appear in the order that the player previously organized within a different scene.
This is an example code of how I set up the drag and drop game:
//Array to hold all the puzzle movie clip instances.
var burgerArr:Array = new Array (burger_mc, burger2_mc, burger3_mc,
burger4_mc, burger5_mc, burger6_mc, burger7_mc);

I am in the process of building a game with around 20 levels. Now, as I was thinking of trying to add a "skip" option to the game with the space bar key. I have a little trouble, since holding down the spacebar invokes the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event multiple times.
The above scenario (Keydown and keyup) works just fine when I'm trying to move my player character on screen. The one main concern that is lingering in my mind is "Is this going wrong because the KeyboardEvent listeners do get removed and added when changing levels?"
P.S: Adding the skip option as a button works just fine, but I'd really like to use Spacebar for the ease of use.

I have seen in some games where instead of loading the whole game at the beginning of the game, they load one level, with the preloader on the screen, then when that level is over, another level is loaded, with the preloader on the screen, etc. I've been trying to find a tutorial or some information on how to do this online but couldn't find anything. I have a game that takes a long time to load when loading it all at the beginning of the game, so I'd like to load it level by level.

I am trying to understand the best technique for this.My game is like a side scroller. A new "Tile" or piece of game would contain one of each display objects.
-terrain
-slide (like a playground slide)
-other stuff...
pseudo example: the first tile set would be pieces terrain1 and slide3
Code:
var terrainPieces:Array = new Array(1,2,6,3,16,2,3,5,7,2);
var slidePieces:Array = new Array (3,0,1,2,00,4,2,1,4,0);
One of my issues is readability and ease of level layout.i want to keep the code stacked in a way i can read pieces easily, which is why slidePiece 0 or 00 == no slide (just to keep the array in line).I can look at this and say to myself the 6th set would look like terrain2,slide4. (which are both pooled display objects) Would it be better if each "tile" is a class containing references to each asset? If so, i cant see how to assign each tile in a readable form while setting up the level layout on my end.
