I've a movie clip, with some animations and other things... also a Texfield (dynamic) that i need to change from a AS file.
The dynamic Texfiled instance name is 'tfRandomGeo'
I export the movieclip to AS as com.ui.AniBanner;
And this is the 'clean' class:
Code:
package com.ui {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class AniBanner extends MovieClip {

I want to make a pageturn effect on a dynamic textfield
Here is my test program :

How do I manage to force dynamic textfield create with actionscript to act like a text created with textool
I have a dynamic texfield on stage with a instance name logo_txt and "LOGO" text written inside currently...
this is written in my xml:
PHP Code:
<logo itemText = "BREATHING SPACE"></logo>
and this in as:

I need to make a text block that is created dynamically to be aligned to the right, with TLFTextField this can be achieved on stage, how can this be achieved via as3?
View 3 RepliesI'm using the method createTextField to create page numbers in a flash application like
01 02 03 04 I'd like to make cliccable every page to do something on a rollover and a onRElease.
can I do it ? or I can covert a Textfield to a Button? or it's better to create a button and then duplicate it and changing the innter text ?
I have a project which has loads of FLA's with embedded textfields on the timelines. We now need to localize this project into Arabic, with right-to-left text (pulled in from XML) - my understanding is that this is only possible with TLF textfields.
It's going to be a huge task to manually convert all these texfields to TLF. Is there a way to programmatically set a normal textfield to be a TLF textfield?
Could someone please outline the proper syntax for formatting text in a dynamically created texfield using actionscript 3 please? I understand the textColor but for some reason txtfld.textFont = "Verdana"; doesnt work for me.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to have a textfield with a Dummy text (for animation purpose) and then replace that one text from XML? When i try to do it i only get the letters from the Dummy text to te there if the dummy text has the same or some letters that the XML text have.
If my dummy text is hello and my xml text it sweden i only see " e e " when i run the flash file.
I'm trying to make this game and in trying to make it look more realistic, I'm trying to get the balloon to curve upwards before coming down and hitting the target. Is that even possible? Also, the target are dynamically created with random x and y points, so is it possible to make the end points the x and y point of that target?
View 1 Repliesfirst I had:
maskedImg = getChildByName("current") as MovieClip;
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and everything worked properly. Then I removed the movieclip from the scene, exported it to Actionscript, and changed the code to
maskedImg = new mymovieclip();
addChild(maskedImg);
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and now I don't see anything on the scene. If I comment out the line assigning the mask I can see the movieclip although. The mask is created dynamically in both cases.
For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:
[Code]...
1) I've created a MovieClip and placed a Dynamic Text into this clip. I've named the text "text_txt";2) I've exported my MovieClip for action script (made it a class) and gave it name "ImageContainer"; And I deleted MovieClip prototype from stage (to create it dynamically later)
3) On main time line in frame 1 I've placed code:
Code:
var clip_mc:ImageContainer = new ImageContainer();
clip_mc.name = "myClip";
addChild(clip_mc);
[Code]...
ADDED: Ha, everything was easy! I should just change one string like this:
Code: MovieClip(getChildByName("myClip")).text_txt.text = "doh";When I placed MovieClip in the beginning everything works fine with Strict Mode! Problem has been solved
I'm trying to do a cleaning of some classes that is added into a MovieClip, but I can't seems to set the MovieClip(Class) to null. What is the proper way to do it?

I have built a movieclip (parentMC) that houses two movieclips within it (mcA, mcB).
in mcA, i'm dynamically attaching movieclips from the library through a loop.
in mcB i'm trying to reference a particular movieclip from mcA via "_parent.mcA". Doesn't seem to be working. However, when i reference said movieclips from the loop within mcA - or even parentMC, it works fine.
i have created a movieclip (parentMC) that houses two movieclips within it (childA and childB)
in childA, i am dynamically creating movieclips via a loop:
Code:
var newX = 0;
var pagTotal = 8;
for(i=1; i<pagTotal+1; i++){
[Code].....
...and in childB i'm trying to reference one of these created movieclips via "_parent.childA.pagClip01" so on and so forth.
but they dont seem to be working. when i trace the dynamic clip from within childB i keep getting "undefined" in the output. however, I can reference the movieclip from within childA, and even from parentMC no problem.
i've used _root and _level0 absolute paths and still the same failed result.
I have a problem with loading text from a *.txt file into a dynamic textfield which is located in a movieclip in another movieclip. It seems it can't find the textfield because it is in movieclips. I know I shouldn't work with the '_root' command but in my project it doesn't matter. Also tried making '_root' globalmain to 'this'. But that still doesn't do the trick.
Code:
tdata = new LoadVars();
tdata.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

I have tried making an application with a dragable movie clip inside that there is a dynamic text box. After draging it to a new place, I�m unable to read the value from the dynamic text box. I have tried calling like this "movieclip_name.dynamic_textbox.text". It dnt worked.I have tried with this code also.
event.currentTarget.parent.getChildByName(disp1).t ext
here 'disp1' is the instance of dynamic text box.
I just wanted to know weather we can Export Dynamic Movieclip into any other video format or even 'swf' through Actionscript. Or if there is any open source available that can perform the job.
View 1 Replieshow does one reference a MovieClip instance dynamically in AS 3.0? Example, I create a new instance of a "marker" MovieClip class that inherently has within it a series of embedded MovieClips labeled: "m1", "m2", "m3" etc ... and I want to be able to dynamically reference those embedded MCs.I used to do this all the time in AS 2.0, and can't recall how to do it in AS 3.0.I know it is something like this:
number = 1;
marker = new StaticMarker();
var thisMarker = this.marker.m[number];[code].........
If I have movieclips called "test1", "test2" and "test3" in the _root, I can use:
for(i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
_root['test'+i]._x = 100;
}

I have an array that houses the names of six movieclips. I randomly select three of them. I am trying to get my randomly chosen movieClips to do what I want them to do. I have tried the following code to get the first to fade in:
[Code]...
But it does not work. The trace comes back with the full movie clip name ex: mcTom, but even though that value comes up in the trace, the AS doesn't see it as a movie clip. Any thoughts on how I can correct this?
What I'm trying to do is create 8 movie clips that I will load different images and dynamic text into using XML. I understand how to work with the XML but what I can't figure out is how to create different MovieClips that house the different images. This is what I have so far:
var thumbHolderArray:Array = new Array;function addThumbs():void{ for (var t:Number = 0; t < 8; t++) var greyMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); this.addChild(greyMC); greyMC.name = "greyMC" + t;

I'm adding text to a movieclip as you can see below. The text is alomost not visible because it's so small. If I don't scale the movieclip then the text becomes clipped. I basically want the movieclip to be a tight container (the same size as the textfield) for the Textfield. The below does not work. How can I do this?

I'm creating a lot of MovieClip in for cicle, and i want to add at every MovieClip a textField. I try in this way for

I have problem. I work in Actionscript 3.0. I have add Movie Clip to stage by this code:
for (i=1;i<=33;i++){
var mcPipeShell = new pipeshell();
this.addChild(mcPipeShell);
}
my purpos is , after I add 33 instance of movieclip from custom class pipeshell. I want to access to each of them later such as control play head of each movie clip, and access variable entirer movie clips.
I have a game, and in my game I have a dynamic text box which displays the number of points that each click of a fish will give you. I would like to make the points flash in, and do cool stuff. I know that it would need to be a movieclip to do this.
How do I put my dynamic text box in a movieclip, and manipulate it like a movieclip via actionscript. For instance, I would like the points to flash for a second, and then dissapear.
I already have it in a movieclip, but I can't seem to do anything to it with actionscript. It would be an onRelease event, so the event handler would be changing the movieclip.
I've got this code but apparently the reference to the button doesn't work since i get an AS error upon execution.

I've already tried without the brackets but that yields the same result.
I have an application in which i am making a dynamic photo gallery. I have made a scroller movieClip "thumbs_mc". Now i want to make it scroll. for that i created 2 movieClips ,left and right. and wrote some code. but its not working.1st depth is the main picture's movieClip's depth, 2nd depth is thumbs_mc, 3rd is mask movieClip. 4th and 5th are for left and right. Also, I am creating movieClips within Thumbs_mc for holding thumbnails.and two buttons leftScroll and rightScroll,
View 8 RepliesI am just getting started with AS3 and have run into a problem. I had a way of attaching movieClips from the library to the stage in AS2 that used the old attachMovie() function where I would run a for loop and it would duplicate the moviclip to the stage and dynamically create new names for the new instances.I now am using this:
var myCube = new cube();
addChild(myCube);
Then, I can access the myCube instance's properties like this:

What I want to do is load a swf(mp3 player) into another dynamic movieclip that has been added and tweened onto the stage. Ideally, on a button press, the swf loads into the dynamic clip first and on completion they both tween/fade onto the stage. I've got my fingers crossed that this is just a simple syntax/scoping problem but in every combination I tried I got errors galore.
