ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Multiple Add Child From Array?
Mar 26, 2011
the script below is for a smooth random movement around the stage with a single instance of a clip (Player) loaded from the library.how i can tell the package shown below that i want it to replicate the instance "player" on the stage multiple times and still keep the random movement for each instance of Player?so there are multiple clips all scooting around the stage at will?
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
The Setup: For each movieclip the hittests a set of "target" movieclips an array is given a value. If mcIcon1 is dropped onto mcTarget1 the first number in the vacant array is given the value of one. The Issue: If I remove mcIcon1, for example, from the mcTarget1 movieclip I can't find a way of just removing the 1 from that array without the rest of the array numbers being reset.
Trying to pick 4 images randomly and load them into and array and then show them using a timer when all 4 images are shown 4 more images will be loaded again. here is the code:
var images : Array = new Array(); var rndNumbers : Array = new Array(); var imageLoader : Loader;
i would like to place various instances of the same library object on the stage.
the different instances (0,1,2,...) are meant to be containers for their individual content. hence, each instance (0,1,2,...) is one container and each containter embeds different placeholders (textfields- and image-instances) in itself.
It works fine if I wait until the image is actually loaded (loadComplete) and then push the bitmap I create. If I try to push the loaders like you see here, it freezes up, every time. [code]..
I'm having some problems when adding multiple instances of a movie clip then controlling their movement. I had it working fine when I was only adding one child. With the code I currently have 20 versions of the movieclip are added to the screen but don't more. I just want them to float up and once out of screen new ones added.
Code: private function addBubbles():void { var list:Array=[]; for (var i:int=0; i<20; i++) { var newBubble:bubbleMC = new bubbleMC();
I am trying to add and remove three mcs with a single button.It want it so that when it loads one it removes the other. right now it cycles through all three mcs buth then when it goes to cysle through again it throws.[code]
Im trying to create a line with 10px*10px squares and manages to get one square on the stage, but having some problems with the the rest since I can't get the .X .Y from the Array-childs
I'm creating buttons like so: for (k=0; k<5; k++) { myLink = new LinkClass(); myLink.name = "link" + k; box.boxMC.linksMC.addChild(myLink); }
This creates 4 movieClips with the names "link0", "link1", etc. How do I remove them? I try this: box.boxMC.linksMC.removeChild(myLink); But it just removes the last one made (link3). How do I have all of them removed?
I have to make a photo album, so I'm creating a container mc for a single pic.Inside it I have an empty mc where i'll "loadMovie" the pic jpg, a simple animated gif serving as a preloader and a dynamic text to load the pic title from a XML file.Then I tween the container.pic and the container.preloader.The problem come when I have multiple instances of container, because my function only works for the last created instance.
ActionScript Code: preloaderTween(container.preload, _alpha, 0, 100); on finished {
[code]....
Is there a simple way to "separate" the instances of the same mc?I've also tried to put the instances on different layers, but it doesn't work.
I have several .as files. The first that loads is Main.as;
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class Main extends MovieClip {
[code]....
So this MC gives the user the ability to type in their name and store it into the parents playerName variable. With the intention that I can refer to it at any point later in any other MC. It stores it okay, a trace proves that, but a problem comes when this movieclip is replaced by the new one ZoneSelector;
As you can see, there's hardly anything in the this .as file. But everytime the trace(MovieClip(parent).playerName) tries to run I get the following error;
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ZoneSelector() at Setup/onbeginGameButtonClick()
It's as if the ZoneSelector runs its entire script before the playerName is set..or something like that.
I understand that the major difference between AS2 and AS3 is that in AS3 you have to put all your script in a separate layer, and unlike AS2 you can't add them to buttons or movie clips themselves on their respective layers.
I'm doing a project for school where I'm required to make a flash portfolio.
I have Five buttons, and right now, two of those buttons goes to a frame to display a picture. However, I've made the other buttons dynamic, and they call other swf files to show an image gallery, a game and another image viewer.
What I have a problem with is when I click the first dynamic button, and the swf if added to the parent movie clip, it does not leave the stage when another dynamic button is clicked.
So what I have is all the SWFs loaded on top of each other.
writing a code that will remove child for each button when ANY other button is clicked.
here is the code I have:
stop(); btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick); function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(3);
How do you get the value of a child node in an array titled "entries"? I used to do this in AS2, and now I'm trying in AS3. To top it off, I'm forced to use an XML format I'm unfamiliar with. So I'm not sure how to access these nodes in AS3. An example of the XML is;
add a child to each movieclip in the array below?I want the code in bold to increment with the wObj movieclips.
e.g. wObj1 contains a loader called wObjIcon1 loading an image from wIconURL1 wObj2 contains a loader called wObjIcon2 loading an image from wIconURL2 ..and so on.
Code: public function makeWObjects(numNewWObjects) { for (var i:uint=1; i<=numNewWObjects; i++) { wObjCounter++;
I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies
I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?
I'm using for loop to display 3lifes on stage using:
[Code]...
and I have already create a hitTestObject on the character, once the character comes in contact with a movieclip, removeChild(Life); is triggered. The first child removed successfully but when it comes to the second one, an error appear:
[Code]...
What should I do to solve this? and how do I trigger an event after no more life is left?
I have written this little script, as i want to remove some of the text fields that are currently contained within the Display Objec, however it does not like to see the TextField as a varaible name. How would i convert the object from an array to become a textfield that can be removed, after being added through addChild()
This is the script
var delayHeading:Number = 1500;var repeatHeading:int = 1;var setShow:Timer = new Timer(delayHeading, repeatHeading);setShow.start();setShow.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, maybeLater);
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I have as3 script that successfully displays an array of MovieClips, the MCs have variable xy positions, and in some cases they overlap each other. I have a function within the array that I can't quite figure out. Here's what I'd like the function to do: When the cursor rolls over a particular MC displayed by the array,I'd like that MC to be brought to the front of the others. This is my script:
var myArray:Array = new Array(); for(var i:int=0; i<8; i++) { myArray[i]= new myImage();addChild(myArray[i]);myArray[i].x = 180*i;myArray[i].y = 330;myArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , overlap); function overlap (event:MouseEvent):void {trace('function triggered on image ' + i);
so here goes the description of what i'm (trying) to make : i want to make a slideshow with AS 3, it will load external image which the location will be written in xml after it has load all the image it will play by itself and change beetwen image with transition.. well i manage to : read the xml, load the picture one by one and convert it into a bitmap tipeafter convert it to a bitmap tipe data i save it into an arrayafter all the image has been laoded , converted into bitmap and saved into array to display the image itself i first add the the image which has been save into the array to the container that i specially made to hold this (well actually because transition manager can only have effect on MovieClip).
myMCContainer.addChild(myImageArray[imageIndex]); that's how i display it (of course i have added "myMCContainer to the stage").
well the real problem is when i tried to use remove child fo myMCContainer it give me error #2025, and when i tried to check number of child that myMCContainer has it returned 0 even after adding the image...
I am building a tile based game, in which the player can digg away at all the tiles.The problem im having is that my collision detection code for the tiles only will detect a collision with the first tile placed, or any tile required i explicitly code its number in.
In all other examples, tutorials and code, this should work, and yet it does not on mine.heres the specific code , the array the cildren are stored in is called dirt, as they are dirt tiles.
ActionScript Code: for (var m:int=dirt.length-1; m>=0; m--) { forval.text=String(m); if (dirt[m].hitTestObject(_player)) {
[code]....
this brings me onto another problem i am having, which is that now that the collision code is inside a for statement, the above code doesnt work correctly. normally the lastx and lasty should be recorded , and if there is a collsion, the player is shifted back to the last position there wasnt a collision.for some reason now, even though it should be looping faster and detecting the lasx and lasty even faster, it isnt, and although a collision is detected (only with child 0).
I'm having trouble removing a child that I have spawned from an array. If I try to use the same for each loop that I use to address the children in the array in other functions, it removes all children that are in the array, but if I try to remove only that child, it complains the child is null. The clickListener function is working out if the crosshairs are on the cow when the mouse clicks, but I want to wait two seconds (to allow the death animation to play in the clicked cow) before removing the child.
