ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Movie Clips Across The Stage?

Dec 17, 2009

I have a question that's been bugging me for a LONG time now. I'm still pretty new to ActionScript, I'm trying to have a series of movie clips move from right to left along the stage, but after about 3 seconds they stop! Here's the code...

ActionScript Code:
public function thingTimer () {
nextThing = new Timer (1000 + Math.random()*5000,1);

Attaching Movie Clips And Moving Them On Stage

Jul 25, 2010

Firstly, I want to be able to push the space bar on my keyboard during a swf, and for a movie clip to appear on the stage. This is what I have so far:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.attachMovie("Explosion", "Explosion"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["Explosion"+i]._x = _x;
_root["Explosion"+i]._y = _y-20;
}}
but its not working....

Secondly, I want A movie clip to spawn in the middle of the stage, then randomly travel outwards to the edge of the stage, then dissapear. And this needs to happen over and over, with the same movie clip travelling to a different place each time. This is what I have so far :
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
timer = 0;
i = 0;
a = 0;
b = 0;

ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTesting Edges / Moving Movie Clips Stage Length?

Dec 7, 2010

This is sort of a multi-layered question- I have a movie clip that I sectioned off in quadrants:The red dot is the player, the stage is the size of one square. My goal is to, when the player moves to either of the 4 edges, the next section of the quadrant comes up (meaning if the player moves to the right edge, the section that borders the right edge will slide on screen, and the old section will slide off screen).I was wondering if there was a way to hitTest if an object is touching any part of the edges? Is the hitTestPoint method something I should look into? What I have so far is an object off screen (black rectangle), that when the player touches the quadrants slide like I want them to (at least I'm trying to make that work).Here is my code. I know some of it's wrong and/or I'm missing something.

if(leftKeyIsDown && player_mc.x > -15)
//-15 is half the size of the temporary player_mc
{

ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Big Movie-clip With Mouse-over On Movie-clips?

Sep 15, 2010

i'm kinda new to actionscript but im trying to find out how to realise a banner i am making.I have 1 big movieclip thats about 5x larger then what is shown, i have 4 movieclips each on each side of the movieclip, left, right, up and down.The idea is that when i hover on 1 of the movieclips the big movie clip moves that way until the mouse isn't hovering above it or when the movieclip reaches the end of the side.I have given a mouse listener event to each movieclip on the side, the trace works well, but i i don't know how to make the big movieclip move when i hover the side, i hope someone can give me some pointers on how to proceed.

Code:

stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
leftMove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,move_left);
function move_left(event_object:MouseEvent) {

IDE :: Moving And Re-sizing Movie Clips?

Feb 6, 2009

I'm trying to re-size and move a movie clip using my keys, and I can do it, but for some reason, if I set a really low value to "speed", it won't move to the right or down, but it will move to the left or up, even if very slowly.

It is as if flash has problems in advancing very low values on the positive x and y axis.

Add this code to the first frame:

stop();
var speed = 0.01;
var grow = 3.6;

Actionscript 2.0 :: Moving A Movie Clip Outside The Stage?

Jun 26, 2009

I want to make a movie clip move anywhere outside the stage, but dont really know how should I do it, here is the codeI think that some changes should be made somewhere around math.random, where I put that // ???btw, I got this code from a tutorial where it was about attaching like 50 balls at once, making them move to random locations so there might be some useles things too the point is that I want a ball to be attached somewhere, preferably to the middle of the stage, and I want it to move in random direction with constant speed. I tried many ways of doing it, but the ball was changing direction every frame or other lame things happened

ActionScript 1/2 ::got 2 Movie Clips On The Stage?

May 27, 2009

Suppose I've got 2 movie clips on the stage. box_mc and triangle_mc. I want to set up a way so that whenever I trigger the event, such as pressing a key (like

if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
//stuff that activates it
}

[Code]...

if I push the Space key again, it would start from the top (1) and repeat the sequence. The sequence would otherwise stop at 4. Previously I've been using counters inside an onEnterFrame such as counter = counter +1; if counter > n, counter = n; etc. This seems tedious and I'm hoping there's a better way to do this. I do not understand watch and timer functions of actionscript (they never seem to work for whatever project I'm occupied with).

Flash :: Movie Clips On Stage?

Aug 20, 2009

I have used Flash on and off over the years but I've decided to hunker down and learn it in earnest. We have cs4 at work and I am having this problem.I checked out the differences between a graphic symbol and a movie clip, and it seems that the movie clip has some distinct advantages. But the main disadvantage is not being able to see what happens on the stage as it plays. How can I get around this limitation? Why does it even exist in the first place? I understand that scripting can complicate how it plays, but for example if I am making a straightforward animation, but parts of it depend on other parts that are in separate symbols, how can I see what is going on at a specific frame on the stage overall?

Professional :: Movie Clips On The Stage?

Feb 8, 2011

If I create a 2000 frame Movie Clip and then drag it onto the stage of my main scene... shouldn't it work/play through  it's entirety from within one frame of the main scene timeline? IOW I'm having to make the layer on the scene stage that i drag the movie clip onto 2000 frames long in order to see the nested 2000 frame movie clip play.Seems like in the past I could get Movie Clips to play and loop and what not from the main scene/stage without doing this.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Placing Movie Clips On The Stage?

Feb 14, 2010

I'm using AS3 to place movieclips onto Flash's stage...

The code I have looks something like this:

Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

[Code].....

Currently when the player moves their cursor over the movie clips that AS3 is placing on the stage, they disappear. However the movie clip is not actually removed from the stage, it simply plays to a blank frame in its timeline to give this illusion. How do I tell Flash to remove the movie clip from the stage rather than just give the illusion that it is gone?

When the player moves their cursor over the movie clips that AS3 is placing, I want the movie clip that is attached to the cursor to gotoAndPlay certain frames of its timeline.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clips On The Stage On The First Frame Of An Fla File?

Feb 15, 2012

i've got some movie clips on the stage on the first frame of an fla file. The mcies have event listeners to navigate to differnet frames on the timeline. Some of the frames to which we navigate have FLVPlayback components while others dont. i'm using some code for soundchannel in this fla, to create an array and load differnt music at a btn click, so that when we go to a certain frame we get some music. This works, no overlapping music.
 
The issue, that when we navigate to a frame with an flv that has an audio track, the the music that's playing on a different frame just wont stop. And another issue, when we navigate from the flv frame by clicking the mc that listens for the sound channel, the flv audio track wont stop playing and we get cuckaphonia.
