ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclips From Inactive Frames Still Exist On Stage
Jun 18, 2011
I have layers of a level that the player can switch between.. and movieclips are all inside each other..full_level has 3 instances of full_platforms inside it.. On full_platforms' timeline there are 5 frames with all the platforms and objects for the level. the 3 instances of full_platforms in full_level are called foreground_mc, middleground_mc, and background_mc. CurrentFrame for foreground is set to middle.currentFrame-1, and background is set to +1. The player can switch which frame they are on to go to the foreground and background of the level.. Like a 2d slice of a 3d world basically..
Now, the bug.. in each platform there is a var called layer which is set to MovieClip(parent).name so I can tell if the platform is in the middle, foreground, or background. For some reason platforms on inactive frames are hittesting positive with the player and then tracing a null object reference after doing so. So basically.. platforms from old frames still exist for some reason.[code]...

I have a movieclip that effectively functions as a button, which we'll call BtnA. When I click it, another movieclip containing the content (CntntA) fades in (this mc is on another layer). Then when I click another button (BtnB) CntntA fades out and CntntB fades in. I've got all this working fine for now, but the problem I have is that once BtnA is clicked, it is still clickable and it fades CntntA back in even though it is already active. Is there a way to disable BtnA after CntntA has appeared? So u can still see it, but you cant click it? Obviously I'll need to do this with BtnB and any future buttons I add

Im building a preloader queue thingy and i have one big problem.
firstly - the goal of this class is the possibility to add movie clips to the queue that arent yet loaded in by their parent movie clips (which are also in the queue). this is a very important function of this object, and one of the main reasons im coding it.
so - when i pass a reference to a MovieClip Object to my addToQueue function, if the movie clip exists, all is well and good. But if the movie clip happens to be a child of another movie clip that is in the queue, it doesnt exist yet - so the reference returns "undefined" as expected.but very soon into the queue processing function, the child movie clip will come into existance, but unfortunately that doesnt matter cause initially the movie clip wasnt there, so the pointer variable still is set to undefined....
how do i store a pointer to a movie clip that doesnt exist YET but i know will exist? i want to be able to pass a reference to any movie clip in any scope, possibly as a child of many parent movie clips that may or may not exist...is there a sure way to set up a variable to reference a movieclip so i can use it, for example, in loadClip() functions, when the movieclip does actually appear? even if it doesnt exist yet?

How can I check how many movieClips exist in a container and how much space are they taken?
In other words, how can I make this calculation if I have a rectangular movieClip (containerMc) that is 5x1px and five square movieClips (sq1Mc,sq2Mc, sq3Mc, sq4Mc and sq5Mc) that are 1x1px and which can dynamically be placed inside containerMc and I want to know how many and which of these five movieClips already exist in containerMc so I can determine where the next square movieClip needs to be placed?
Can someone be so kind and show me how to do this or direct me where I can find the answer?

I am making a game where you are attacked by a waves of zombies. The first 'wave' is just one zombie and when this is off stage (either gone passed you or been killed) i use this code to check if it's gone and then instigate the 2nd wave of enemies (ie, change wave2ready variable to true)
ActionScript Code:
if( _root.Zombie1)
{
wave1Timer = wave1Timer + 1;
[Code]....
However this sets wave3ready to true when any one of Zombie 2 3 or 4 are destroyed.

That's the correct syntax for this? I want to be able to dynamically write to several textfields that exist on the stage but have not been dynamically placed there.

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

I made a flash website that has several different "pages". I just found out after creating it that a QR code will be used to navigate to the about page. The only way I can see doing it is by having the QR code navigate to [url].......On that html page, is there a way for me to use actionscript 3.0 to tell movieclips to go to certain frames? My .swf only using internal scripting.

I have a bunch of movieclips in my library. Each one contains it's own class and functions etc.I put each of these movieclips on diffrent frames in my timeline.My question was, if I am going to put these movieclips, on 2 or 3 frames on my timeline what will be the impact on speed of application (in mobile afcourse).For example MovieClip2 will be put on frames 2,3 and 6.It has 300 lines of code. Is the impact noticable ?

I have a main fla with loaded swfs. I would like that I can access a movie clip
in a swf from from another swf.
I would like a button on one frame, when clicked, to go to another frame of a movie clip in a loaded swf on a different frame.

i have a gallery on my root timeline. The gallery is called work_mc. Inside of work_mc I have various buttons. There is a different section on different frames.For example,ALL is on frame one, PRINT is on frame two, motion is on frame three.In the root here is the
Code:
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.buttonMode = true;
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
This is targeting the buttons that are on frame 1. How do I get to the buttons that are on frame 3? I tried just using the movieclip names but this doesnt seem to work?

I need to set movie clips at specific frames from an existing array. For example, if I have the array [4,7,3] and three movie clips, I want the first clip to be at frame 4, the second at frame 7, and the third at frame 3. Except I have 100 of these, not just three.
Here's the code I'm using to test it out on a single movie clip. It isn't throwing up any error messages, but it isn't working, either, and the movie clip remains stubbornly set on the first frame. 'Randomorderlist' is the array, which is working perfectly. The trace is also working correctly and displaying the number of the frame I want for the movie clip.
function assignframe():void {
boxsymbol(gotoAndStop(randomorderlist[0]));
trace(randomorderlist[0]);
}
assignframe();
I think I might know why it isn't working, but I'm not sure. 'boxsymbol' is the class name rather than the instance name. I first tried the instance name, but it came up with a 1180 error and stuffed up the whole SWF badly. This was the only way I could fix it. Also, Flash wouldn't let me use the same name for the class and the instance. It forced me to use classes, even though I don't really want to.

I added some movieclips from the library via the addChild method. The actionscript is in frame 1. I have a button which takes me too frame 2. When I click that it takes me to frame 2 but it also leaves every single MovieClip on the stage from frame 1. This is terrible annoying. As I want it to only display the movieclips on frame 2 not the movieclips from frame 1.
Code:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[Code].....
There is an actual frame 2 keyframe so don't think I didn't leave that out. Adding the line removeChild(playButton); just gives me a compiler error about calling.

I've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?

I was programming games in AS2 in a way where movieclips could themselves remove, for example, when they collide with main character. If the objects where created in realtime with attachmovie then removeMovieClip, but if they where objects that where already existing because placed in the timeline, unloadmovie () was working. I know in AS3 I can delete them from the parent who created them but, most of my movieclips are thrown into a frame in the main clip editor. I mean, I use the timeline frames as level editor where I design my levels and I place the objects directly there and not create them by code. How can I remove them??

Is it possible to resize everything on the stage in one (or a few) step? I know scaling the movie has the same result, but when working in Flash it's a lot easier when you see the actual size.

I have a bunch of old FLAs with one set of dimensions, including a 60 pixel offset along the y axis. I'm writing a jsfl script to resize the stage (works), delete some unneeded layers (works), and reposition everything (doesn't work) What I'm using is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().selectAll();
fl.getDocumentDOM().moveSelectionBy({x:46, y:-60});
When I run my script, the items do in fact get moved, but on tweened clips, they get "doubled dipped," it seems: if I compare the new x and y values of, say, the end keyframe of a clip (only tweened for alpha, for example) is exactly 46 pixels farther right and 60 pixels higher up than it should be.Is there a better way to reposition everything that avoids this "double dipping" among tweens? I'd love to know! There's got to be a way, and I feel like I'm so close, but not quite there. (Of course, I'm probably way offEdit: I've performed the steps manually by turning onionskinning on for multiple frames, selecting all frames, then dragging a selection rectangle across everything on the stage, then moving everything by the desired amount, which works: when I look at the history and view the js for those steps, they look exactly like what I've typed into my script.

I am just getting back into AS after about 4 years so bear with me. I have a movie that I show and remove as needed on my stage. The movie shows 2 frames of content that pauses between them so the view can see the data. I simply want to loop the frames when the movie is on stage. This is what I have written to control the movie.

I have a frame-by-frame animation. I want to be able to click and drag on the stage back and forth and traverse through the animation. I.e. I want to click and drag from left to right to make the animation go forwards and right to left to make the animation go backwards. How would I achieve this? I am making an assumption that there will be some maths involved in calculating mouse position and traversing to the correct frame, but how would I do this?

I am just getting back into AS after about 4 years so bear with me. I have a movie that I show and remove as needed on my stage. The movie just shows leader board details and consists of 2 frames of content. I simply want to rotate the frames when the movie is on stage. This is what I have inside my move on frame 1....
stop();
var myLearderDelay:Timer = new Timer(5000);
myLearderDelay.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showNext);
myLearderDelay.reset();
[Code]....
The third frame is just a catch from so it knows to loop back to frame one. I am wondering if there is a better way to loop these frames and have a delay on each one.
