ActionScript 3.0 :: Loop For MovieClips To Return X And Y Position
Aug 12, 2010
I'd like to have my movie clips on the stage and run a loop to return their x and y positions, these positions will be stored in an array (startPos:Array) for use later in some other script. I have 7 movieclips on the stage, each with an instance name startobj[a number]
AS2.. Nice all works:
var numberOfElements:Number = 7;
var startPos:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numberOfElements; i++) {
var startObjs = eval("startobj"+[i]);
[Code] .....
But when I trace all I get is 0,0,0,0. Is this something to do with in AS3 there is no connection between names and things?

Does anyone know of a way to return the position of the cursor in a input textfield? Can it be done at all? More specifically I need to know the y-value of the cursor somehow.
Have looked through the AS3 documentation, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

Trying to build a drag and drop navigation, all the drag and drop works great, the test for the hit works ie if its on the target it centers the drag clip over the target, if its of the target the drag clip returns to its start postion. What I cannot get right is the code to check if the target already has a clip on it, if it has that clip needs to return to its start position, so we only ever have one drag clip on the target.

I have an enter_mc with arrow_mc (ie. which is ">>") at the end. When I mouse over enter_mc, i want the arrow_mc to bounce back and forth. the problem is when I onRollOut, the yoyo is not stopping and I can't get it to return to the original position either.

The issue i'm having is that i want to have dispersed code-generated stars, and then they form a form (reindeer, santa, etc).
The idea is how i make the stars disperse and then return to their previous positions, knowing that the initial positions were randomly generated as well.

possible to create a button that will return the user to an exact postion on the stage? For instance, I want to create a back button at the bottom of the stage, and when someone presses it, it takes them to the top of the stage? I am using Flash CS4 on Windows.

I have a video clip which I initially set a size and location to. I then re-size the clip and move it when a button has been pressed. Once the video has finished playing, the video clip should go back to the original location and size. For some reason though, it goes back to a different location though.[code]...

I am trying to make a hangman game and have made an array with words and picked one at random each time the movie is run and then taken that word and broken it apart into each letter. I then made a loop to create a new TextField for each letter. Then I set them all to "visible = false"I want to get to the point where if the user selects a letter that is in the word that that TextField with said letter will become visible. Only I cannot figure how to get a function outside of the loop to see the variables (i.e. instance names of the TextFields) inside the loop.Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var words:Array = new Array("HELLO","WORLD","JOE MAMA","ALIENS","ATTILA");
var letterArray:Array = new Array();

I have an instance of a movie clip on the stage that jumps to different labels (within the movieclip) when the large buttons at the top of the scene are in rollover state. The problem is that it stays there when the mouse leaves the button.
How do I make that symbol go back to frame one (not there) within the movie clip so that it disappears when there is no activity on the buttons?
Is there a button parameter like MOUSE_OFF (I know that's not one)?

I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
Code below -
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]..........

I have 4 objects that I all want to have their own velocities. I have a bunch of variables (each one has a different value):
PHP Code:
public var vx1:Number;public var vx2:Number;public var vx3:Number;public var vx4:Number;
Rather than having a function for each object to say:
PHP Code:
function1 { this.x = vx1}function2 { this.x = vx2}function3 { this.x = vx3}function4 { this.x = vx4}
I'd like to have a for loop to have my objects x position to += vx(1 through 4):
PHP Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<5; i++) {
this.x += (vx+[i]);
}
So I tried the above with a combination of " " around different parts of (vx+[i]) but I realized that turning any of it into a string means 'this.x' cannot read it because x has to be a number not a string. So how can I make this.x = vx1 then vx2 and so on with a for loop?

I've got a movieclip in my library called primaryCommMC.I'm loading these 5 times onto the stage and naming them commMC0-4 using the following:[code]Right now they're all obviously loading on top of each other. I want to stack these movieclips on top of each other so the first movieclip will be at y=0 and the following at y=(the height of the proceeding MC + 5 (a little gap)).

I have a master MC that's added to the stage via addChild(p2_mc). Inside that p2_mc, I have others MC'S (added to the stage manually, not via addChild). One of them is instanced fond_mc. I want to position that fond_mc in the middle of the stage using that line of code WHEN the stage is resized. Obviously, the following line is into the resize function:
fond_mc.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
I works but returning faulty results because it uses left corner of the mc instead of registration point, which is top and center. I tried all math formula I could think of to no results. Keeps positioning the fond_mc wrongly. I know this is related to registration OR stage measurement. Is there a way to reset stage.stageWidth values INSIDE the resize function?

I am using the following script in a MC to produce an empty movieclip and fill it with evenly spaced movieclips on demand.[code]The last piece of code repeated below should remove one of the attached movieclips when it is created then remove its iteration from the array and loop through all movieclips after it in the array and minus 30 from their y coordinate:[code]When I trace Wine[mc] it produces a list of names of movieclips after it in the array as it should, and the movieclip is removed as it should but the coordinates of the other movieclips remain unchanged.

I am trying to create a movieclip, load a jpg into it, and if successfull, create another movieclip (or even better: create that movieclip right away too), with a textfield in it, and place it under the loaded jpg, depending on the postion and height of the jpg. I tried something like this, but the jpg and text don't show.

I have some Headline MovieClips that are been attached on the stage on runtime based on an xml file.
Each Headline is placed one after the other vertically on the stage, and each one of them, when clicked, expands showing the description of the headline, pushing the other headline MovieClips down, according to how much _y is the description occupying.
I did a smilar example with some boxes attached on the stage with a loop, one after the other. Each Box, on RollOver, increases by _yscale to 130% for example and pushes the other Boxes down as:
i
Code:
mport caurina.transitions.Tweener; //using Tweener to tween the _yscale property
num =4;
var boxes:Array = new Array();

I want to be able to position a series of movieClips along a curve of a cicrcle, well part of it. Basically I need a curved wall.
This is where I am at the moment, ...not very close.
_root.rot = -30
for (var i:Number = 1; i < 6; i++) {
var block = attachMovie("block", "block_" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth())
block._y = 30

If I run the page locally on my machine, the banner looks fine no matter the browser. however, on the free hosting service server, size and position of certain movie clips are messed up in IE, safari and opera. they overlap in places, and u can see the corner of something that's supposed to be off the stage. why? note: the hosting service put some junk after my </body> tag...

I have this tween function that moves an object 100 pixels as soon as it enters the frame.
if (currentValue % 15 == 1) {
var rab1:MovieClip = rabbit1._x;
var myHoriTween:Tween = new Tween (rabbit1,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,rab1,(rabbit1._x = rabbit1._x + 100),2,true);
myHoriTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
this.stop()
}
My idea is to set up a loop to watch the tween, once it advances its 100 pixels from where it started I want to do a few things before I go to the next frame. Right now I'm using a timer, but it limits my ability to control the playhead.
I've been trying to create a loop to check the current _x and trace it so I can see it advancing as its tweening but it's simply too advanced for me.
