AS3 :: IDE - Dynamically Naming Movieclips?
Sep 23, 2009Ok, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure this out, looked everywhere for an answer, learned a few bits and pieces along the way, but still can't do it.I've made my Class which is a little movieclip called 'block', it's fine and does what I tell it to do ie. I can reposition itstretch itotate it and stuff.The problem is.. I want to make more of them and reference them individualy so I can change the properties of them individualy ie, the x and y values etc.
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
var newBlock:blocks = new blocks();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Naming And Accessing Dynamic MovieClips
Sep 26, 2009I'm trying to dynamicly create movieclips that I can drag and drop. Here's what I'm trying to reproduce dynamically: (I placed 2 movieclips on my stage and named them mandible_mc and vertibral_mc)
mandible_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);mandible_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);vertibral_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);vertibral_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
Here's what's happening:
Unless I have actually placed two movieclips on the stage and named them mandible_mc and vertibral_mc, I get an error. If I DO have those to movieclips on the stage, I get no error and I get my instances of "name_box". But, I can't drag them. I CAN drag and drop instances of mandible_mc and vertibral_mc so I know the addEventListener and buttonMode "thingys" are being created.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Naming/referring To Movieclips?
Feb 15, 2010I am going to have a button that when you click on it it creates a movieclip and adds a certain child to it (In this case, its linkage is set as "Rifle"). Each time you click on the button I need to give the new movieclip a different instance name then the last, such as "Riflemen1", "RifleMen2" etc.. I will need to be able to refer to each movieclip seperatly in my code, such as for example:
You spawn three Riflemen.. You click on one of them, which selects it, you then click on an "Attack" button which makes only him start firing (in my case gotoAndStop(2)), you then decide you want the third one to attack and so forth..

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClips - Dynamic Naming Links To Variable
Jul 26, 2009I am doing the following
Code:
Select allvar a:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(a);
Now what I want to do is I want to create six more mc i.e., a2,a3,a4,a5,a6. I want to accomplish this using loop like this:
Code: Select allvar i:Number = 0;
while(i < 6){
var a:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(a);
}
So with above method how can I give different names link above to var a? Then I am using all of these var as following:
Code:
Select allvar cube:Cube = new Cube(new MaterialsList({
front:a , left:a2, right:a3, top:a4, bottom:a5, back:a6}),200, 200, 200,10, 10, 10);
scene.addChild(cube);
How can I use those dynamic name here?
Array's And MovieClips - Use The Naming Conventions Of An Array?

var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash For Loop Loading Multiple Images Into Multiple Movieclips

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Multiple Images On To Multiple Movieclips?
Sep 16, 2009I 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?

Keyboard Nav Through Multiple Movieclips?
Aug 17, 2011add some functionality to the presentation template. Currently you can only move from one page to the next. So if I want an animation on a page, no problem I'll just add a stop script at the end. No big deal. But if I want Multiple animations (just trying to replace powerpoint here) then I get into trouble.
Each page is one frame on the main timeline. Hitting left/right goes to the next frame, unless the movieclip on that frame also has additional frames. Then it should move to the next frame within that, etc.
I can't figure out that if statement though. I had another bit of script going on my first go, but ran into some issues so thought it best to create all of the scripting on the main timeline. Initially I created a boolean variable, then ran an if statement. Inside of a movieclip I switched the boolean and used the same keyboard interaction to walk through it. On the last frame of that movieclip, I switched the boolean back so the main timeline interaction kicked in again. The problem is, that's a Lot of copying and pasting of that code, and I can't figure out how to go through more than one parent. I just couldn't get it to work.
Should I just be building this thing in a Completely different way? I need to make something, so for now I'm splitting up each frame that I need different animations on and creating a different movieclip for each section. Ideally that would be contained in one movieclip's timeline. Currently one each animation's interaction will be on a timeline. So I have to duplicate the slide to add an animation. So if I have a title come in, then a pie chart, then an image, then another piece of text, I'll be stuck with 4 separate movie clips.
I want something like:if current movie clip current frame is == total frames, clicking right goes to next frame, else go to next frame of it's parent's timeline.I say the parent and not stage because the way you have to set up transitions only works within a movieclip. So you have to set up the entire slideshow within a movieclip if you want transitions between each slide. Right?
I don't care about transitions for now, but will want control of those eventually.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: How To Remove Multiple XML MovieClips
Apr 8, 2010I am making a website with complete external xml data holding text and urls to images. I have several categories. One of the category has three sub categories as menu. When I click btn1 it gets the xml and start making text field, rectangles, lines and picture frame for thumbnails. Before that I use a single movieClip container to hold all that stuff and then point it to mask and scroller too.That is working fine. Now the problem is that when I click on btn2 I want to remove previous container and make a new one.
Now what happening is that it is creating one more container of different xml and putting over the previous one. I have used removeChild command and it is still not working. It only works if I use it alone and do not create a new container. All this process is done on a movieClip. That movieClip holds container, mask and scroller. The only thing that is made dynamically is the container. Rest of the items are on the timeline of the movieClip. I need to remove container inside of the movieClip and make a new container inside the movieClip.

I can't seem to place towers on the other patches of grass.I removed the instance name of the first patch of grass and it let me build towers on the second patch, but the second patch only.
