ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Movieclips With Same Export For Names?
Dec 14, 2011
Since the demensions of some of them, i.e. phones as opposed to tablets, have a much smaller screen, wanted to use different sets of mc's depending on screen size (device dimension wise, not resolution).So a smaller device would use the mc's with larger gfx so they would still be decipherable and the larger devices could use smaller gfx so to be abale to get a larger part on the screen at the same time- I could just scale the entire screen clip all the time, but this will slow it down too much i think- I could create multiple instances and use different names and then sort them out run time in AS, but this would also steal processor time. Im not really for that.
- I could publish multiple versions, depending on device its for. But this would require me to maintain multiple sources on upgrades. I can feel the hurt already.I was hoping it is possible somehow to export the movieclips as .swf's or something and then sorting out run time wich one to import/use/load.Then, hopefully i can refer to them in my code with the same name's but they will be different sizes depending on wich i had chosen to include/load.

I'm trying to create a game in flash cs4 to then export it as a SWC class so I later on can work with the movieclips in flex. However I can't seem to get multiple levels of movieclips to work, example:
main_clip-> icons -> dude_1
dude_1 have a couple of rows script, when I now export main_clip I can only access main_clip and icons, the script inside dude_1 wont run but the movieclip is exported..
I found a workaround my copying dude_1 to the same level as icons and hide it, that way the script will run inside the third level of movieclips. Is there a reason why I can't just access the movieclips inside the second level of movieclips when I export the file as a SWC?

I am trying to simplify things by using dynamic MovieClip names. I have three MovieClips on the stage.
1) mcPage1
2) mcPage2a
3) mcPage2b
But my code isn't working. I'm guessing the "this" part is what is messing it up. Thinking that the computer doesn't know which MC is "this". It traces fine outside the function, but inside the function it traces undefined.[code]

I'm rewriting a game that came from AS2, and passing it to AS3. The problem is that I have several different MovieClips in the Library, with a sequence name ("s_0", "s_1,...).
how can I use the addChild to instantiate these movieclips, using these names, sequencially, using a FOR loop?
I'm trying to get a way, that I don't have the remake all movieclips, or else I'll be stuck on the desk for a week :P

I have a flash movie with a lot of linked movieclips in my library (mc's with linkage names). I have a preloader in the beginning of the flash movie. However, the preloader doesn't show until (I guess) all those linked movieclips are downloaded first. Then the preloader starts showing, starting at something like 40% . How can I include the linked movieclips in my preloading, such that the preloader shows straight away, from 0% ?

Alright, so I'm trying out AS3.0, or learning to and I got some questions, which I think should be (and probably are) easy to do.Say I have an .as class file "Animal"and in the Library I have MCs - "Cat", "Dog"in AS2.0 - the MC in the library would have the class of "Animal" and I'd useattachMovie("Cat", ...) or attachMovie("Dog", ...) and it would eference the functions/script of the "Animal" .as Class.Now from what I understand, in AS3.0 - the MC in the library would have the class as "Cat" or "Dog" and I'd change the base class to "Animal" (and have my Animal.as 'class Animal extends MovieClip')Least that's how I think it works.Now let's say in my library I have "Cat1", "Cat2', "Cat3" and I wanted to attach these to the stage through a function
in AS2.0
createCat(catType:String){
this.attachMovie(catType,...)

I have a movieclip that I need to duplicate dynamically based on an outside variable.e.g. clip1, clip2, etc This variable changes so I can't hardcode the number of times it occurs.Is there a way to dynamically create this movieclip multiple times and align it according on the screen?

getting angles, of two movieclips that are on my stage. With instance names: circle1,circle2. I read that I should use the function Math.atan2 to get the angle, in radians, then I convert it to degrees, but it doesn't make sense, the angles aren't correct.. Here I paste the code I use (its AS not PHP don't know how to add the AS tags):

I am using attachMovie in a for(var i=1; i<50; i++) loop.Everything loads fine, but I am having difficulty referencing the dynamically created instance names.I don't want to reference individually ie movieclip1, movieclip2 etc.but more by movieclip[i].Basically - if movieclip instance 1 is rolled over I want to display image 1, and so on?

I am trying to use a for loop, to place 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. In the loop I used .name to give each movieclip a unique instance name. But when I try to reference one of those instance names in an event listener I get an error. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

This code generates an error saying that the cStar2 property is undefined. In the example above, does the for loop create 5 copies of the movieclip starC_moov, and give them unique instance names cStar1, cStar2, cStar3, cStar4 and cStar5?

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I am trying to make a game where I am going to have different "Tiles" for each type of terrain. in my code I am calling on "Tile_GOLD" like this for a hit test:
[Code]...
and so my problem is that Multiple instance names don't really work, so I tried exporting for actionscript and that didn't really help either. So is there a way that I can call the tile in the characters code or is there a way that I can determine the hittest in the tile? Not necessarily for all of them to go to the next frame but to maybe have them make the character not be able to move. Also if anyone could give me a hittest code for making a mc not be able to go through an object

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

I have an AIR application with two DataGrids that I would like to export to Excel. I've found the as3xls library, but it can only handle one sheet (as per the comments). Ideally, I'd like to export both DataGrids into separate sheets in the same workbook.
The AIR application is running entirely on the user's desktop and doesn't have a connection to any server, so the solution would need to be Flex/AIR only.

Is there a way for me to export a symbol from the library so I can use it in multiple files without having to add the symbol to each library?
View 1 Replies
Aug 20, 2009
I'm having to import a whole bunch of images, and when I import them to the library, each image gets a symbol automatically generated. However, instead of the symbol being named after the image itself, it just gets Symbol1, Symbol2, Symbol3, etc... Also, the images I'm importing are not sequences, just different/separate images I know I'm going to need to use. Is there anyway (within CS4 BTW) when importing these images, the resulting symbols are named after the images themselves so I can more easily seperate them out as appropriate? And is there anyway to import images into the library, but within specific folder structures created within the library?
