ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Clips Into Array?
Apr 11, 2011
I'm working on a document class for a big project, wherein a swf has graphics on its stage, and it loads its corresponding sound file and captioning xml. Some of these swfs have buttons, and because it will undoubtedly be edited several times, we want those buttons to be assigned their URLs through JavaScript. The pages with buttons don't always have the same quantity of buttons.
So I'm trying to figure out how to get the buttons into an array so that I can add event listeners and say arrButton[0] goes to URL[0]. I tried just writing the array in, and it didn't like that, and I can't figure out how to push them into the array because they are not dynamically placed - they are on the stage with instance names. I thought perhaps I could use stage.numChildren to do it, but it only traces 1 child when 3 buttons are on the stage.

If I've got an array that contains mc names like this:
PHP Code:
var homeArray = new Array("home1_mc",
"home2_mc",
"home3_mc",
[code]....
How do I do the equivalent of this:
PHP Code:
var i:MovieClip = homeArray[0];
var image1:MovieClip = addChild(new i);

I have a movie the attaches movie clip linkages to an array with buttons, the idea is to attach the clip to the stage and when you attach another clip ,the one one the stage moves down in the y position 25 px to allow the next movie to go in its space.I cant seem to get the movie to drop down and all the clips stay at the same y coordinate.I have tried using a variable to update the y value also to hard code the y value nothing seems to work below
var warnArray = [""];
mybtn.onRelease = function() {
warnArray.unshift("movie1");

I've got an array with four movie clips that I would like to move onto the screen separately (the first one, then the second, etc). Is there a way to do that?
This is the code I have to move the whole array onto the screen:
arrCSnav:Array = [cs1_Button, cs2_Button, cs3_Button, cs4_Button]
for(i=0;i<arrCSnav.length;i++) {
var enterTween:Tween = new GCSafeTween(arrCSnav[i], "x", Strong.easeOut, arrCSnav[i].x,arrCSnav[i].x+180,12,false);
}

in my program the user can create multible movie clips so i stored them in an array. now the problem is i need to find the ._x of all of them. so i have tried to create a for loop that will go through at a certain amount of times (pending on the number of created movie clips)
Code:
for(z=1;z<=_root.howmany;z++)
trace(array_name[z]._x);
}
it doesn't work?
the array is storing the string of the movie clip
(like; _root.moive1, _root.mave2,etc)
but when i try to access it, it doesn't work? what am i doign wrong and/or what should i do?

I am almost there I think. I am using the FUSEKit to fade in and out clips from an array.The fade in and fade out cycle works fine for the first item in the array, however it doesn't increment like it should to fade in and out the next clip from the array. It seems to me that the second onEnterFrame isn't being called for some reason, perhaps an inheritance problem?
The code is basically just using an onClipEvent to see if the current clip has hit either 0 or 100 alpha and then playing the next fade in or out function after that point. Any clue why it doesn't increment? It should finish the cycle, move to the next array item, and then when they are all done go back to the first item, infinitely.

I've built an array of movieclips - all of them sitting static on the stage. I'm trying to trigger the clips to play as they are hit by an invisible/alpha 0 bar which sweeps across the stage... kind of like a mexican wave? I'm still a bit crappy with arrays - here's my code:

I have an array of movie clips, and I want to be able to control their visibility(make them invisible to start). The array is called allCoffees, I tried:Code:_root.allCoffees.visible=false;That did not work, so I tried looping through the array to do it:
Code:
for (i=0; i<allCoffees.length-1; i++){
_root.allCoffees[i].visible=false;

I am trying to load an array of web_thumbs into an array of thumb "holders" I've got the holders loading in a grid but then the way I have it, all of the web_thumbs load into each of the holders instead of one web_thumb per holder - I've tried it every which way and this is as close as I can get it without help... Can someone tell me what i need to do to have one web_thumb load into each thumb holder? This is what i have in place:
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
dataLoader.load(new URLRequest("web_thumbs.xml"));
dataLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoaded);[code]..........

My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30 clips onto the stage and have it play until it's done.
BUT - once a movie clip is already out, I don't want it to reset or come out again. I'd like the next action to randomly call out one of the remaining 29 clips.
Once each movie clip is done, I need some action to make it go back to the "available" list so that it can be called out again.
I'm guessing that I need to use attachMovie to call out the movie clips, and an array (maybe two) to make sure that I only get one instance of each movie clip. But after lots of searching and various dead ends, I'm just not finding exactly what is needed.

I've got 5 movie clip buttons. When a user rolls over a button, I want one movie clip to play. When a user clicks on that button, an alternate movie clip plays. I'm trying to use an array to assign certain movie clips to certain buttons and actions, but I'm not doing something quite right. I can get one button to work correctly, but then am having issues getting the other buttons to work.
Here is the code I have:
var currentPage:MovieClip;
var currentScreen:MovieClip;
var prevPage:MovieClip;

Bit of a problem with trying to attach a sound to a series of movie clips stored in an array. I miss attachSound from AS2, it was so cool. Background first. I'm making a simple pairs game where the aim is to match the 2 cards that have the same sound attachted to it. I'm storing my card movie clips in an array to build the grid (obviously lol) and I have 18 audio files in my library with the class names s0 - s17. Code breakdown below. Apologies if this doesn't appear in code format,[code]I have two issues.
1 - how would I add a sound to each movie clip in the for loop in preparation for adding another function which is called when the user clicks the movie clip and the sound plays?
2 - the grid is 36 tiles long , so to make the whole pairs game work I need to attach each sound twice, and then again I will create another function which will then shuffle them randomly.
