ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Duplicated Clips?
Mar 15, 2009
There r two function which I compare for effectiveness, createFlake uses a symbol in the library to duplicate and createFlake2 uses programming drawing to create the same looking shape.When I run this file with createFlake calls it consumes about 70% of my CPU and when I use createFlake2 my CPU is 100% busy.I would prefer to use pure programming here so my question is: Is it a "normal" result because of Flash implementation or am I doing something in a not optimal fashion?
Code:
// copying from Library FAST
function createFlake(i) {

I'm very much a noob in terms of actionscripting (I use MX), and I was wondering if I could enlist your aid. For right now, I'm trying to get the hang of Duplicated MC's. Right now, my practice animation is like this: A one frame movie clip with actionscript tweening a black ball. Basically, my AS just makes it move to the right as it gets smaller and fades with alpha. This part works fine.
I put this above movie clip (ball, let's call it) in another MC. Now this MC (let's call it BallTween) has AS on it which duplicates the ball movie clip 30 times with a for loop (q is my incrementing variable). Now I read a tutorial on a forum that suggested using a mc = _parent['newball'+q] to control the duplicated movie clips as they are generated, but this doesn't seem to be working for me. Is there any really comprehensive tutorial on this kind of AS around? I would really like to get good at manipulating duplicateMovieClips. Does anybody have a simple way to do this from the ground up, instead of solving a problem in an existing flash project?

I have a clip, duplicated to realize the titles of a menu. How can i use these duplicated clips to load the submenus? (The submenu is another clip, duplicated using the numbers contained in the same array)
My script (or, i'd better say, Stringy's!) is:
/*
array: its lenght gives me the number of titles, each number inside the quantity of submenu for each title
*/

Im working on a rock climbing game, and used duplicateMovieClip() to make all the snow. When the character gets to the top of the mountain, the movie goes to the next scene, but the duplicated snow is still there. Look through the .fla at [URL]

I am trying to create a hitTest between two duplicated objects. The code below is on a bullet. Bullets hit "bad" MCs that are called bad + x (X being a number from 22 - 40). I can't get it to work. I belive that I am not referencing the duplicated MCs correctly
Code:
for (x=22; x<42; x++) {
if (this.hitTest("_root.bad" + x)) {

I used a tutorial from here, that creates snow, and changed it up a bit so that it now creates fizz in a soda. however I'm running into a snag.Is there any way to mask duplicated movieClips so that they only show up in a certain area? Or some way to set parameters to accomplish the same effect? (i.e. I want the bubbles to only appear in the area of the cup, and not all over the place).Right now I have just set X and Y values to do this, but the cup is angled and not square, so it doesn't looks quite right.I have tried setting a mask on a layer above which the duplicated movie clip sits, and also have tried setting the depth of a mask_mc so that it is well above any of the layers that the bubbles are generated on (by use of a for() loop), but nothing works.

I've created a tsunami menu made up of duplicated menu items. Each menu item should have a rollover and selected state of 240% which works fine. When a menu item has been selected it jumps to another frame but until the user interacts with it it should loop through the different categories.My problem is that I can't get the menu items to scale big while it is looping through the different categories on the matching category frames.

On my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?

I have a fire animation that i want to freeze (ha!) on the last frame of my swf. So basically the fire is buring and i want all the tweened flames inside duplicated MC to stop so it looks like a snapshot of whereever all the flames currrently are.Everything else in the movie is stopped too, so i was wondering if there was a global stop all motion command or the best way to freeze my fire

I have some code that has hearts falling from top to bottom and randomly float off the screen. The problem is the layer order. I have the code tucked under a layer of some text, but the hearts end up covering up the text. So would this be a depth problem? What would be some code to tell the newly duplicated movie clips what layer to appear on(as in appear below the text layer in the timeline).

I'm trying to make duplicated movie clips scroll down the screen (asteroids) for an experimental game but I just can't get it working. :-
I'm using this to duplicate the movieclip:
i=i+1;
duplicateMovieClip ("m0", "m", i);
and trying to get the movieclips to scroll down with this:
p=eval("m" add i);
p._y+=2;
make renamed duplications scroll down the screen?

What (if any) is the actual differance between removeMovieClip() and unloadMovie() for use in erasing duplicated movie clips (using duplicateMovieClip() )? I was looking over some of my code and noticed I used both without much rhyme or reason as to why one over the other.

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;

Basically I have a group of overlapping movieclips acting as buttons. I need to bring the clip that is being rolled over to the front. These clips are nested in a movieclip which is being loaded via attachMovie into a holder clip on the main timeline. I've created a simple file which uses this code on the clips timeline and it works for two buttons:
clip1.onRollOver = function(){
clip1.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
} clip2.onRollOver = function(){
clip2.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
}
However when I drop the same code into my file which has many more buttons it does not work. I've set up a trace to display depths with very strange results. Here is the code for one of the clips.
stop();
depth=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth);
createEmptyMovieClip("MC_top",9999);
MC_one.onRollOver = function(){
this.swapDepths(MC_top);
depth2=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth2);
}
The first trace produces a depth of -16358. The second produces no trace on RollOver. If I change it to onPress it produces a trace of 9999 for when pressed.

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;
