On my stage I have a movieclip I place on called landscape and I have this code in there. The problem is when I click on the child I added it doesn't display the childs instance name but the landscape instance name. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? its like the children are below the instance. The landscape is a a movieclip symbol.[code]
View 2 RepliesNot sure where the difference lies here, but I am trying to understand it. In this piece of code that is a public function of a MC with instances of other MCs in it, I cannot seem to access the instances except in a function within the public function (confused? so am I but here's the code)[code]...

the flash on the right hand side is not showing in IE6?
This is the very simple code for the page, I have stripped out the restof the code just to get to the bare minimum code to show the .swf. It works fine with firefox but nothing is shown in IE. The .swf name (front.swf) is lowercase.How can I show the swf in IE ?
Code:
<div id="contenttabs" style="padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px;">
<div style="padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px;" class="box">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="front.swf" width="523" height="450">
<param name="movie" value="front.swf" /></object>
</div>
The title & copyright text of my animation don't show up in the swf unless I break up the words to letters then to shapes. (This also occurs for the feedback of one of my games.) It's a 2.5 minute animation which puts my computer to the limits so that may be the problem. Obviously I'd rather not convert this text to shapes for size & flexibility reasons.

It can be done in a classic tween using "Edit Multiple Frames".
i am trying to control 30 instances of a movie clip dynamically. the instances are as follows

coming from php i would just set up an associative array like list array('speed'=>array(false,false,true,...),'weapon '=>array(true,false,....and so on I can not for the life of me figure out how to store this information and then use it as a variable name later.my end result should look something like this .. i just don't understand how to do this in as3 .. it seems unnecessarily convoluted.
Code:
foreach($upgrades['speed'] as $key => $val)
{
UpgradeScreen.'speed'.$key.visible = $val);
this would dynamically call

i know the above is incorrect.I want to create this so that it is completely dynamic and the instance names can be feed in dynamically as the array or whatever is being looped.
Is it possible to create 2 instances of 1 class (for example: "Header"). Add these 2 instances to the stage on different positions. This Header class contains some buttons and what I want, is: when I rollOver one of these buttons, both buttons in the 2 Header instances are "rollingOver".
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble manipulating instances of xml loaded pictures. I want to change their x and y position and tween them etc. I have loaded them onto the stage from an xml file, and given them all individual names but the most I can do now is either move them all together, spread them evenly on an x or y axis, or remove one of them using getChildByName. What I can't do is what I want to do, which is place 20 or so images in an exact place, ie. a square.My main difficulty seems to be that I don't know how to reference an individual xml node and move it.
View 2 RepliesI have a row of buttons within a container, all with instance names. When one of the buttons is clicked and using a switch statement, I want to navigate to a timeline frame and stop to display the desired page. Could someone provide an example of AS code?
The ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components reference is great but there still is a lot missing in the process of coding in AS.
can I use the same loader or do I have to have a loader for each instance (the one thing I haven't tried as yet)
View 3 RepliesI have many MovieClips and each has a name like "mcDummyClosed" and then and instance name "slideDummyClosed". Another MovieClip has a link to e.g. slideDummyClosed which I then call DummyClosed. I add a MouseEvent.CLICK event to DummyClosed.
Now without adding slideDummyClosed to the stage nor any other MovieClip can I with a string containing it's name get that instance? I've tried using getChildByName() but that only seems to work if I've already added the MC to be found and added before. My code looks something like this:

I have a piece of code, that moves an array depending on it's type. If the array is of TypeA objects, it will change TypeA. If it is TypeB it will change TypeB. The issue with the current code is the repeative blocks.

I'm using this code to swap different charts rendered in XML, but all that is happening is that they are piling on top of each other! How do I unload each one while another is loaded?Notes on the code: I have 52 different XML sheets to swap, all labeled Finance/"State Name".

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, financeSelect,true)
function financeSelect(evt:MouseEvent)

Overall, I'm not sure what you mean about putting in the charts by script.
I have a number of instances of a library object placed directly onto the stage (I don't want to have the code create them since they have to be positioned and scaled individually) want to be able to find all the instances in actionscript and assign them to an array. How do I do that? I think getDefinitionByName is what I need but I can't figure out how to get it to do that.
View 9 RepliesThe zipped attachment for this post, contains two files trial.fla and img.jpg. In the flash movie, I have done the following: Created three frames with stop() on all the three. "Prev Frame" & "Next Frame" buttons allow us to move to all the three frames. There is a movieclip instance with the name: "abc" common to all the three frames. The button "Show/Hide Abc" makes "abc" visible & invisible. In the second frame, I am loading the external image "img.jpg" and setting the child index of "abc" to numChildren - 1.
Now if I move to frame 3 and try to hide "abc" (using "Show/Hide Abc"), it works fine. But once I switch back to frame 2 or subsequently to frame 1, I can see two instances named "abc" in the trace window. (I display all the children of the displayList on every frame). Why do two instances named "abc" appear? Due to two instances of "abc", the button to hide "abc" no longer works. Its very important. NOTE: If I do not change the childIndex of "abc" to numChildren - 1 then everything works fine. But I have to do this in my project where a similar problem has crept up.
How can an instance name defined in the CS3 envionrment/stage be referenced successfully in AS3? My attempts seem to point at "just assuming its available in AS3" is not the case.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple maze game. I have movement working, and now I'm trying to implement collision. Here's what I have:
An 8x8 grid, with walls of length 1 to break the grid up into a maze. the walls are instances of a movieclip I've named "mc_wall" a guitar-pick-shaped chip I'll control the movement of a cross-hair called "arms" that will check if there are walls immediately surrounding my chip by way of collision. "arms" is a movieclip made up of four individual movieclips: "uparm", "leftarm", "rightarm", and "downarm"
I have currently named each instance of "mc_wall" to be "wall" this is the code I have now (using only right as an example):
function moveRobot(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
doslide = true;
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
[Code]....
this will work, causing the chip to remain in place if the rightarm detects "wall", and move if the rightarm does not detect "wall". My problem is that, although I have named every instance of "mc_wall" to be "wall", the only "wall" flash will recognize is the last one.
Is there a way to adjust this code to look at all 70-or-so instances of "mc_wall" instead of only the last one?
I have run into a problem when trying to reuse SWF/Bitmap file loaded by Loader object. As far as I know there is only one way to do this - by using something like this. However it`s not working for me. My code:
Code:
var loader2:Loader = Loader(duplicateDisplayObject(loader1, false));
Even though I addChild() duplicate loader to stage afterwards, it doesn`t appear.
