ActionScript 3.0 :: Manipulating MovieClips In An Array

Jan 19, 2011

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).

Loading And Manipulating MovieClips Fullscreen

May 5, 2009

I am working with a site that's similar to : [URL]. When you click on Wedding Site and then go to the gallery, you will see the pics loading full screen and the navigation bar on top of the pics. What I have done is I have made each one of this pics a separate .swf file so
they load individually once they are called using the " loadMovie("pic1.swf") code line. On layer 10 (being at the very top) I have my menu so it will always display on top
of anything else. Now on layer 3, frame x I have a movieclip called : fotos_mc,
inside this fotos_mc on layer 1, frame 1 I call the swf using the code above:
"loadMovie(pic1,swf");
However when the picture loads, it covers the full screen on top of my navigation menu, on top of my logo etc. Which I dont understand why if the layer where I have placed my fotos_mc is under layer 10 which contains my menu and my logo.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Manipulating Flash Library MovieClips?

Jun 24, 2010

I drew up some graphic symbols in Illustrator and imported and defined them as MovieClips in the Flash library. That way I could just place them where I want to visually on the stage. As I have been solidifying the visual design, I have been implementing it in Actionscript to access the flexibility the code provides.

In order to port a symbol to actionscript I did the following:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Manipulating Class References In A Array?

Feb 27, 2010

i retrieve a list of instances located in a array to manipulate them in a variable holder. Normally, the operations can be made between two instances stored in a simple variable to variable fashion and it works realy fast.I analysed two main operations: retrieving references in a array to a variable and get or set a value from the variable reference.Here are the objects used to perform the test operation:
 
var v4:Vector.<Person>= new Vector.<Person>();//List of Persons instance
var refHolder:Person; //Typed referencevar refHolder2:*;   //Not typed reference
 Test #1: looping 200 000 times and only retrieving references from the array v4.[code]........
 
So my conclusion with that test is that with a typed reference you spend more time assigning a reference than manipulating a value from the reference With a not typed reference, the time spent is in manipulating the reference in the variable.Which one should i use or what should i do to have better performance with manipulating references from arrays?
 
Here are the files i used to test this:
reference.swf     //Online example
reference.zip     //Source file

ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash 8] Manipulating Objects In An Array?

Aug 8, 2006

This should hopefully just be a quickie. I'm slowly starting to learn Flash and Actionscript and right now I'm a bit more stuck than usual. I have an array, "container", to which new movieclips are added by clicking a button. When they are added they are given a name, "pic" + i, and are added at the corresponding index "i". Now, what if I want to change the position of a certain movieclip in the array or alter its alpha value? I tried something like:

Array's And MovieClips - Use The Naming Conventions Of An Array?

Nov 18, 2009

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)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Manipulating An Ext Loaded Swf?

Feb 7, 2010

So I have a simple as3 project i'm creating in FlashDevlop and I was hoping to create the layout as a simple swf thats loaded in then move the assets where they need to go. Things like roll over states would be stored on different frames to make it nice and easy for designers so they don't have to know flash. And loading it is no problem but how do you target the movie clips inside it or how do you even attach it to the root? When I say target I mean as in how would I target it to change say the height or width. I know this is broad question so even pointers to a good FAQ or example project would be helpful. I spent a little time on google but all im finding is how to load a SWF not how to deal with it afterwards.

IDE :: Accessing Different MovieClips In Array?

Mar 14, 2010

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";
[Code] .....
Am I targeting the movieClips properly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Movieclips From An Array?

Nov 29, 2010

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]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicating And Manipulating Loaded SWF?

Nov 12, 2010

I am trying to make a card game.

The main fla file loads an external swf file that is a movie clip that has the card art images (one card art on each frame)

This works good and I can view the loaded swf on the stage.

public function FinishedLoading(loadEvent:Event):void {
LoadedMovie = MovieClip(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
addChild(LoadedMovie);
}

What I want to do in another function is to duplicate the load swf, so that I can have 52 of the same object, each with a different picture. I need to know how to create an instance of the loaded swf.

I would like to control each instance of the loaded swf by telling each one independently of each other to go to and stop at a specific frame such as 3 or 17, or 43, based on what card is needed at that time.

This code creates an error:

var NewCard:MovieClip = new LoadedMovie();
