This should be simple (I think) but I want to use the same Flash movie on several pages of my website, hiding different MovieClips on each page.
My plan is to pass the 'hide' instruction using a Flash parameter in the HTML, which I've got working fine, but hiding an entire array of MovieClips using "visible" just doesn't work using the code here.[code]...
Is it possible to hide several movie clips at once by adding their instance names to an array, and then creating some kind of function?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to be able to have an array of movieclips where i'm able to toggle their visibility depending on what button has been pressed. I would need to have a default movieclip that is visible and all the others are hidden, but then when I click a button to make one of the other movieclips visible the default one is hidden etc.You can see an example of what i'm trying to achieve at http:[url]........I'm experienced in PHP and HTML but have not used flash for several years so i'm pretty rusty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to hide all unwanted movieclips and reveal only those you need? From my understanding, if i do not want a particular movieclip on the stage, i will use scene1.visible = false; but it becomes very complicated when i have different scenes appears at one time, so i need to

For the majority of projects that I create, I have an intro animation for all the movieclips on the stage, so that they do not just appear like HTML at once. The problem with this is that I do not animate in buttons and interactive movieclips on the main timeline (I use internal frames to animate. Frame 2 is always .onRollOver, Frame 11 is always .onRollOut, Frame 50 is movieAnimationIn, etc). This means that Frame 1 needs to have an alpha level of 0, so that no one sees the MovieClip until I fade it in with intro animation.
This is a pain in Debugging/IDE mode, if I need to edit the movieclip, since I have to find the little white dot (transform starting point) and double click it to view inside the movieclip from the stage. I try to create intro animation last since it usually hides all the movieclips and makes editing them annoying!
Is there a framework/class/package available that would hide all the movieclips I place in an array in the first frame of the movie and then show them once I choose to fade it in? I think I could write one myself, but I didn't want to re-invent the wheel.
This would be a greatly increase productivity to many Flash Developers.
Basic problem here. I'm adding a bunch of movieclips using the addChild method. I simply want to remove/hide/fade them after a button click, but I am unsure of how to refer to the movieclips which I've just added.
Here is the code as it stands:
Code: Select allimport gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var strip:Bgstrip;
var contentBg:ContentBg = new ContentBg();
contentBg.x = 440;
contentBg.y = 166;
addChild(contentBg);

I'm stucked here. I want the font type "BauhausMedium" to apply when ft_01 is clicked, font type "Haettenschweiler" to apply when ft_02 is clicked, etc... at the same time I want all" ft_01a", "ft_02a", "ft_03a" movieclips to hide except for the movieclip similar to the clicked button. E.g. if "ft_02" was clicked ft_02a to be visible =true and rest to be visible = false (ft_01a, ft_03a).
Several arrays are created by passing a number (k) from a different array,for every item in the array I need to have a little dot.I have a movieclip on the timeline with a maximum of 15 dots.So if the array has only 6 items, the last 9 dots should dissapear.
PHP Code:
function fill_items(k:Number) {
var item = josXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[k];
[code].........
But the dots_total[t]._visible = false; part isn't working...Maybe it's the wrong way to achive this, but i can't seem to figure out why it's not working.
so i want to hide these object in this array

I'm trying to show and hide a sub menu. So what I want to do is for the sub menu to show up and stay up if certain buttons are clicked, but disappear if other buttons are clicked. I've got an array of the sub menu. If any of the buttons are clicked from the sub menu array, it should stay.
var subMenu:Boolean=false;
This is my sub menu array:
var arrSub:Array=[m8_mcButton,m9_mcButton,m10_mcButton,m11_mcButton,m12_m cButton,m13_mcButton,m14_mcButton];
When a button is clicked, I want to check to see if the sub menu is showing and to check which button has been clicked. This is the code I came up with, but unfortunately, doesn't work...
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (i=0; i<arrSub.length; i++) {
if (subMenu && e.currentTarget!=arrSub[i]) {
arrSub[i].y=-130;
subMenu=false;
}}
I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:
var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

lets say i have dynamically duplicated movieClips ID's stored in array list. i want to add a onPress event to them. how do i do it?
[Code]...
I am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.

Is it possible to load up an array with movieclip instances from the library and use that as a reference to go to a certain index, snag that mc, and display it on the stage?

var box_mc:MovieClip;[code].....
I'm having problems making a loop of different movieClips. I've been able to find info about duplicating the same movieClip but I can't seem to get it to apply to this. This is what I am working with: I have 13 different movieClips of an animated character. They are titled montyDog_mc, montyBear_mc, montyCat_mc, etc. I also have a next and a previous button. What I need to happen is for the movieClip animations to cycle through, one at a time, each time the user clicks the next or previous button. I think I should be creating an array of some sort but I am very confused about how I list the movie clips in an array and apply it to the button.
This is what I have:
montyArray = new Array();
montyBear[0] = "montyBear_mc";
montyBee[1] = "montyBee_mc";
montyCow[2] = "montyCow_mc";
montyDog[3] = "montyDog_mc";

Am I targeting the movieClips properly?
Just started to make the switch from AS2 to AS3 and am having a few problems, most of which I've managed to fix but this one has got me stumped.
I'm trying to create some buttons dynamically that are spaced out evenly.The clip is in the library and exports as NavButton. I've created an array with all the button clips inside it. This is called navButtonArray and when traced shows the NavButton clips. My problem is when I try and add them to stage. I can't tell if it's only adding 1, or just placing them in the same place, or if it's continually replacing the previous navButton.[code]...
I'm creating multiple movieclips, containing a TextField and an image as a background. In order to keep track of them I'm storing them in an array. The problem is that I can't add the movieclip to the screen >.< What I'm doing is
PHP Code:
addChild(movieclips[0]);
but it's not displaying. I know it's not the movieclip as I can addChild that and it shows, but trying to call it out of the array is not working and it's REALLY frustrating the nark out of me .How do I add the selected movieclip out of my array?

Anybody any ideas on how to remove children from stage using AS3 if I store the reference to the objects in an array and they exist in different locations i.e they are not all children of the same parent?
View 2 RepliesI was trying to make a similar thing with the game SameGame (ie. the block above the removed blocks fall downward). Before trying this with an Array that contains MovieClips, this code worked (tried it with int values). With MovieClips on the array, it seems not working the same way.With int values, example:
popUp(0, 4): Before: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; After: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10
But with MovieClips:
popUp(0, 4): Before: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; After; 1,2,3,4
// Assume the numbers are movieclips XD
Basically, it strips everything else, rather than just the said block >_< Here's the whole method. Basically, two extra arrays juggle the values above the soon-to-be removed value, remove the value, then re-stack it to the original array.
function popUp(col:uint, row:uint)
{
var tempStack:Array = new Array();
var extraStack:Array = new Array();

I want to dynamicly add images from XML to movieClips and then add event listeners to these movieClips. What is the best solution? XMl loads correctly, it also add 2 movieclips on stage, but it throws errors when I try to add event listeners to movieClips. How could I do that? I want to go to different frames on release of some movieClips. How can I please recognise each movieClip and manipulate with that movieClip ? (resizing,...)
[Code]....
i have an error in my game project. i am trying to attach 5 different movieClips in an Array.but i dont want these movie clips to be appear on the stage when i attach these. but these movie clips appears on the stage as soon as loop executes.
here's the code:
var terrorists:Array = new Array();
for(i=1;i<=5;i++) {
var terrorist:MovieClip=attachMovie("terrorist_"+i, "terrorist_" + i, i);
terrorists.push(terrorist);
}
I created 6 movieclips and imported them into my main file. They each play a short animation when clicked. I added an event listener and a .stop() for each movieclip.Instead of writing all the repetitious code, I want to put them all into an array. The question is, how do I get the movieclips to stop so they don't play before clicked on?
var myClips:Array = [a_mc, b_mc, c_mc, d_mc, e_mc, f_mc];
myClips.stop(); //I tried this but it didn't work
I have a rather unusual problem. I've got an Array consisting of ten different MovieClips (all pre-placed on the stage), and would like to be able to manually use the gotoAndStop and gotoandPlay commands on these via the array. I've tried ActionScript Code: //This script does not work IconArray[1].gotoAndStop(1); however it simply throws out an error. Is such precise manipulation of MovieClip arrays even possible, and if so, how would I code it? (Nb: I've looked at the ForEach method, but couldn't find a way to make it sit my current dilema).
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to apply a function to an array of movieclips, rather than have to type out the function for each one. So, if my movieclips were mc1, mc2 and mc3, I would have:
Code:
function Invisible (movieclip){
movieclip._alpha=50;
}

This does not work - I still have to put Invisible(mc1) for each object to make it work. Is there a way to use arrays to do this?
