ActionScript 3.0 :: Missing Bitmaps - Dynamically Change The Object Inside The Holding Variable?
Jan 26, 2011
I have an overlay that I pull up in response to a button click. This overlay is dynamically populated by a TextField, a MovieClip, and a Bitmap. I used to add them to the overlay with addChild() and induce a index out of bounds error to make them go away (I was in a hurry and I don't think I'm using removeChild() right). Well, I decided to do it better and dynamically change the object inside the holding variable. However... the Bitmap is gone. It won't appear. The overlay puller function takes a data-holding class I made and the picture is a BitmapData object.
I can't use the line new Bitmap(picture) because it doesn't work; that makes nothing appear. So, I guess my question is can I store a line of text in a variable and then use that variable as code? Like... Could I have something like this and get an image as an output? I imagine it could be done with XML, but is there another way? I tried storing the constructor in a variable and calling it with object.constructor, but I don't know if I was using it right and it didn't work.

right now, my code looks like this:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
speedy = 1.1;
gravity = 9.82;
[Code].....
What I want is that the flash should wait until I've finished pressing space, and the longer I hold in space, the bigger the variable speedx is. I can hold it in right now, but the ball will fall before I've released space. I'm really new to this so please be nice
EDIT: the flash is a ball that "throws", and the code is on the ball, which is a movie clip.

How can you change a variabele in as3 that you have declared OUTSIDE a function and change it inside the function.My function seems not be able to change the variabele?

function Filter2switch(event:MouseEvent) {

So, if I need to give a custom variable name to an object how would I do that?
For instance, if I have a gameID that is 12345 and its rating is 3 I want to save a variable called gameRatings_12345 thats value is 3 in my shared local object.
//share object
protected var mySavedData:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("mySavedData");
I have the game id in a string
var gameID:String = "12345";
Then when I try to assign the value like this...
mySavedData.data.gameRatings_gameID = 3
I think it's literally reading it as "mySavedData.data.gameRatings_gameID" instead of "mySavedData.data.gameRatings_12345"
How can I give the variable a custom name?

-= Lets say I have two swfs: 'parent.swf' and 'child.swf' AND MyCustomObject.as that extends MovieClip-= In child.swf I have a MovieClip physically placed on stage (not using adddChild). Lets call it "ball_mc"-= child.swf gets loaded into parent.swfWhat I want:-= once child.swf is loaded I want to change ball_mc from a ball_mc:MovieClip to all_mc:MyCustomObject-= Then I want to be able to call ball_mc.init() (init() would be a public function in MyCustomObject.as)Why I want to do this:-= I dont want to import MyCustomObject.as directly into the child.swf. This is because there will be LOTS of child.swfs (child1.swf - childN.swf) If the .as is imported directly into each of these AND the MyCustomObject.as changes I have to re-publish ALL the child.swfs so that they publish with the new code... Right.MAIN QUESTIONs:-= whats the best way to go about doing this?? I just want to be able to change the MyCustomObject.as and have the effects show up on all the child.swfs (but not have to re-publish them all

I have a jpeg that I have exported to actionscript via the library. The jpeg class is "adcouncil". If I want to add it to the stage I would use the following code:
Code:
var adcouncil = new adcouncil1(150,150);
var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(adcouncil)
printMC.addChild(myImage);
The problem is that I want to ad these Bitmaps to the stage dynamically. My first instinct is:
Code:
var adcouncil = new this["adcouncil1"](150,150);
var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(adcouncil)
printMC.addChild(myImage);

i'm referencing variable names and object names dynamically such as:[code]i have 5 balls (insert joke here) which get all the same functions etc so i wanted a way to avoid making 5x functions to handle each one of the balls. Now one function can handle all 5, etc.what i can't figure out is how to use this same set up to reference a variable or object name inside another movieclip. if i have another movieclip named "myParent" for example, i thought i could refer to it with:[code]but this doesn't work.

I have a Tree, which has an itemRenderer. On the itemRenderer, driven by the XML conditions, objects are created dynamically and added as a children to nodes. These new objects shall trigger an event handler ( some click events mostly ). How do I pass the event handler to the tree and later to the dynamically created new objects inside itemRendere?
Something like:
<mx:Tree x="534" y="49" newObjectsOnClick="newObjectsOnClickHandler">

I would like to have a SWC file with many bitmaps stored in it, which can the be called and loaded dynamically when they are needed.The SWC has been made, with the Bitmaps set to export.In my main class I am running into trouble trying to access these classes.Different sources are offering different advice, could someone advise the best way to gain access to these classes within the SWC, and the best way to access the SWC from within my file.URL]they offer a solution which involves having to statically name the classes at runtime (these arent exported bitmapdata classes but same idea)this second link is a person describing a solution to the problem described in the first link. His solution involves what appear to be either flex or command line compiler directives

I want somehow to apply smoothing for all dynamically loaded PNGs in my flash file. I have flash file that loads a lot of different images, and there are a lot of flash files like that, so I don't have an option to set smoothing on every bitmap by hand.
I was wondering, if there's perhaps some way to change smoothing to all instances of Bitmap class.

I have a movieclip with 10 bitmaps in it. I wanna access each of them.
myMovieClip is the movieclip containing those 10 bitmaps. I wanna access those bitmaps one by one. All 10 bitmaps are imported separately. I tried this :
for ( var i =0 ; i< myMovieClip.numChildren ; i++)
{
trace ( myMovieClip.getChildAt(i) );
}
Problem is numChildren comes "1" only, as if it doesnot consider those 10 pieces of bitmap.

I've been trying to use the object.watch() method. I've never used this before, so I'm assuming I'm pretty far off base here. What I have is a parent movie (_root.) that has a bunch of variables. As the user progresses through the movie/project the variables change based on the user's actions. Within this parent movie there is another movie embedded. In this movie, things change based on the variable changes of the parent movie. So, for instance, say the user gets through frame #20 and hits the "next" button in the parent movie, this triggers a variable change in the parent movie, which then causes the embedded movie to change its color from blue to red (or whatever, action doesn't matter)

I have had a website that has been up and successfully running for about a year now. Admittedly, it's a little buggy here and there, however - I have not had too many issues with it to date. Recently, however, I updated the main / root .swf slightly - just changed some copy, and added a slide or two throughout. When visiting the site, this main .swf dynamically loads any content .swfs required - the html, and these .swfs were not touched.
Upon uploading the new main .swf only - everything works fun, until it loads one of the content .swfs - this always loads in the top left of the browser, rather than the center top of the browser.

I have played around with the Dynamically Loading Bitmaps With Smoothing from Tinic U ro as well as somme other advices from people on the kirupa forum. The code works great. I am trying to load different Bitmaps, fullscreen, on the click of a button (or any other event). The images load, but they just stack on top of each others and thus, they don't resize to the stage properly. Here is the code with the attached FLA: ( you'll need 3 jpg named bg1.jpg, bg2.jpg, bg3.jpg, all in the same folder as the fla)

I have loaded an externally SWF (sonswf) file inside my movie (parentswf).
son.swf has 2 objects inside its library: Character (Base Class = "flash.display.Sprite", Class = "Character") CharacterHead (Base Class = "flash.display.Sprite", Class = "CharacterHead")
The "Character" object has inside 1 instance of "CharacterHead" and "CharacterHead" does not have a instance name asociated with it.
This is something like what i have got so far inside parent.swf :
ActionScript Code:
var ipAddress:String = "NNN.NNN.N.NNN" // not important
var loadedSwf:Array = ["THIS IS WHERE I CAN GET SONSWF", null]
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
So i need it to trace the class (not the Base Class that it extends) when instanciated from the parent.swf

I'm trying to figure out the best way to compare a single bitmap against perhaps an array of saved bitmaps to see how close of a match it may be to any one of the bitmaps stored in the array. Right now I'm running a for loop that uses the bitmapData.compare() method to try to compare to see how much of a variance there is but... to be honest I'm at a loss as to how to use the resulting data to do so. Does anyone know of any good method to accomplish what I am trying to do? Forget looking at my code it's a waste of time because simply, it's not working.

It involves the player clicking on a moving movieclip which is boucing up and down on the screen. I started off using a 'mouse down' (not click, because the player must move the mouse before releasing it) event listener attached to the actual mc itself but this seemed to be horrendously innacurate. It LOOKED like I was clicking on the mc but was reacting as though I had missed completely. On the rare occasion that it actually detected a mouse down I thought I was some distance away.It seems that the object itself may be updating its position in memory before updating its position on screen if that makes sense? Has anyone had this issue before? Is there an easy way around it?
As a little test I used trace to output the calculated distance (using Point.distance(..)) between the mouse and the movieclip, most of the time it was returning values of between 70 and 90 pixles when I was definitely not that far away.
