ActionScript 3.0 :: Playing Mc Instances Sequentially In An Array?
Feb 26, 2009
I have a movieclip tweened of a lightbulb bright then fading. 50 or so instances are placed within another movieclip and given instance names of bulb0 to bulb50. I have a stop action on the first frame of this movieclip.
Other animation within the main movieclip is activated on rollover and I have used actionscript to place this main movieclip on the stage and to control the other animation within it.
Within my external as. I have an array as follows:
var bulbclips:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint; i < 58; i++) {
bulbclips.push("winNav.bulb"+i);
[Code].....

I'm trying to go from an flv. that starts automatically 1st thing directly to a .swf file, with no user interaction. They are both inside a mc 'container' on the stage. I can get them both on the stage, but at more or less the same time, not sequentially. I tried using an addEventListener(VideoEvent.Complete) with the .flv, but the .swf starts up after the .flv is loaded, not after it finishes playing.
Am I supposed to use some sort of 'loader' strategy or is there a way to 'listen' to when a .flv finishes playing and then the .swf will come up automatically?

I have three flv files that I need to play sequentially, one right after the other in the same location (box) in an html document. I have segmented the video because of it's size. Does any one know how I would make this happen or where I can find some sort of tutorial that can assist me with this? I also have another project in which I have 4 animations that I want to play in sequence but they are in different locations on the web page.

I've tried endlessly to make sense of the solutions that other people have posted. But I cannot seem to get any code to work my my purposes, so I decided to post my own thread.I have a main parent Flash movie that I need to load 7 exteral SWFs into. Each of the SWFs is like its own scene in a longer movie. The external files are called:
mc1.swf
mc2.swf
mc3.swf
mc4.swf
mc5.swf
mc6.swf
mc7.swf
The final parent movie should play each external SWF movie sequentially so that it appears as one combined movie (so none of the loaded SWFs are actually playing at the same time - they should only play one at a time, one after another).I want to preload mc1.swf, mc2. swf and mc3.swf into the cache before the parent movie starts playing(and I would like to include a progress bar to indicate loading status). Once those SWFs are preloaded, I would like them to start playing sequentially while the rest of the SWFs load in the background.
Basically,I have a long Flash animation that I decided to split up into several individual movies.I've using the parent movie to seamlessly string together my individual movies to give the appearance of cohesion.I have determined that I should use the MovieClipLoader Class and loadClip() to accomplish what I am trying to do.However, I have a very limited knowledge of actionscripting, so this has been a major challenge for me.
I am optimizing the parent SWF for the web, and it's important that the video plays seamlessly, so I cannot put individual preloaders onto each external SWF. They have to preload at the beginning so that when each individual SWF is called, it's already loaded and no preloader is required.

There's 3 boxes I'm indexing through with a timer. They disappear in sequence. How do I make them reappear?
boxes disappear in sequence 1-3
var pink:Array = ["","boxInstance1","boxInstance2","boxInstance3"];
var timer:Timer = new Timer(555);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
[Code]....
I'm not to particular about the sequence they disappear and appear, but it need to keep going in a loop.

I'm working on a project where I have Multiple instances with the same actions.
Instead of typing out
btn1._visible = false;
btn2._visible = false;
btn3._visible = false;
btn4._visible = false;
Could I store these instances in an array so that I could minimize my code to something like:
btnArray._visible = false;
I've tried to do this but it seems to read the instances as strings instead.

I'm setting up some Radio Buttons. The desired effect is when you click a button, it calls a function which loops through an array of the button states, switching them off.
The stumbling block is changing the state of the buttons from on to off. I'm sure it's an issue with the way I'm trying to get the instant name (eg radioBtn1) into the MovieClip Variable 'currentRadioName'.
The error I receive is: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "radioBtn1" to flash.display.MovieClip.
So I'm trying to stick some object into a MovieClip object, which obviously doesn't work.

the user needs to select an answer from a dropdown list. I am then creating an array that will store the answer to each question when the user clicks the submit button. Each of the drop down menus is named sequentially. So what I am trying to do is write a while loop that will increment through and read each of the values into the array so I can process the responses later. The issue that I am having is writing the syntax to recognize the Instance name of the specific drop down I am trying to reference.
Here is the basic code I am using:
var Store:Array = new Array(2);
public var Increment:Number;
Increment = 1;
[code]....
So the DropDowns instance names are DropDown1, DropDown2 etc... It works fine if I manually enter in each instance name (but there are 43 total and I don't want to do each one individually).
I am assuming that I need to setup some sort of variable to temporarily add the increment number to the "DropDown" and then use that as the reference:
Increment = 1;
while (Increment <=2){
ItemNumber = "DropDown" + Increment;
Store[Increment] = MovieClip(Scroller2.Form_Scroller.content).ItemNumber.value;
trace(Store);
Increment++;
}
But when I do that, I get the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at combotest/submitted()
I assume this is because it is looking for an instance of ItemNumber instead of the instance of the value of ItemNumber.

My project downloads an array from a MySQL server that has URLs for pictures in it. Part of my script then downloads these pictures and splices the array (removing the URL and replacing it with the bitmap). Now i need to use those bitmaps on the stage but i need two instances of the same bitmap at the same time, and it seems like flash is having a problem with this.
How do i create two instances of the same array bitmap?

I'm trying to add an instance of a MovieClip inside an array. Inside the House Class is a property called HouseObjects. Inside that array, I created a Comp and a Light class. MovieClips are dynamically placed on the stage, via linkage. The MovieClips also act as "toggle buttons." If the button state is ON, value is 1. If the button state if OFF, value is 0.
If the value is 1, I am trying to add MovieClip instance inside the onList Array. Inside that array will be all the instances that have a button state ON.
I created a property called objSelect.
var objSelect:Object;
That variable holds the currentTarget selected. I'm trying to pass it to function trackItems to either push/pop it in the onList array, based on the button status.
I receive an error for this line:
onList.pop(objSelect);
Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.

I have a MC called Enemy. It contains a monster that pops out at a random time (a timer with animation inside the MC). It stays on the stage for a few seconds and then hides again. If it hides, I want it to be removed and another enemy be added instead. All the monsters are instances of Enemy MC that are inside enemies[] array.[code]

I've continued with it and have hit another hurdle. When I run the loop to load in the XML images, inside the same loop I add instances of a "thumb" movieclip onto the stage. It's just a little graphic that I want to use as thumbnail buttons. So for example, if the XML loads in 3 images, 3 instances of the "thumb" mc also load onto the stage. I currently give then unique names in the loop but that name gets overwritten each time the loop runs. How can I record each name of the instance? I'm guessing an array but how do you populate an array with a loop?
Then, I'm hoping if those names are recorded in an array, then I can reference the different thumb instances (so they can do different things with the images) and also use removeChild on them when I close the gallery and load in the next gallery. Here is my code so far,

There isn't any error displaying. I traced the "rectAry[1]" and it's "undefined"
When I change the variable "i" inside the statement to 3 or other values,
the instance will be displayed probably.

where each of my buttons have a dynamic text label.
So this button is a symbol, and the instances are named let say btn1, btn2, btn3. The label tag name inside the symbol is btnName.
How I can make this work if I define my array on top level? How I can make sure that the label btnName will have the correct array name for each btn instances?
found out the benefits of .children usage...
btn1.children.btnName = xArray[0];
btn2.children.btnName = xArray[1];

long title i know. This concerns the data handling for a physics engine i'm writing. At the moment, i divide objects in my engine, into three broad groups (2d arrays), which allows me to save on a lot of processing. every object has an array for its records which is held inside one of the three main arrays. however, this division is causing more processing work in other spots, particularly where finding things is concerned.
what i'm wondering is if it would be possible to make a master list, but still keep my three smaller arrays, and for an object's records to be synchronised regardless of whihc place i update it. actually going and synchronising it would be extra work that kind of defeats the point, but what i hope to do is reference object records from the master array, so thst both the master array and the three small arrays hold references to the same data objects

i got a array which stores some elements, in string form, and these elements actually represent the name of the instances on the stage. now i want to trigger the instance to reset it's alpha value..
eg: i got an array["A"."B"."C"];Instances name available: A,B,C,D....Znow how i should do to make the instance A to got triggered?? i call them by using on button. i try some like _root.name.array[0]=_alpha=0; but not success.

I have a source array with simple Point instances in them (just an object with x and y properties). I want to have a resulting array with the cumulative result of calling Point.add() to each of the instances. (e.g. the resulting point object is a result of adding the current point to the total of the points before it in the source array.) is this possible to dynamically do this?

i would like to place various instances of the same library object on the stage.
the different instances (0,1,2,...) are meant to be containers for their individual content. hence, each instance (0,1,2,...) is one container and each containter embeds different placeholders (textfields- and image-instances) in itself.

The code works fine, but I am getting unexpected results; the array seems to be shared across multiple instances of the same class? I've coded an example to highlight what is happening:
Code:
import myClass;
var instance:Array = new Array();
instance[0] = new myClass;
[Code].....
keep all objects/arrays separate across multiple instances of the class.

number_2
number_3

I am currently trying to create a piece of code that will retrieve values from a 2D array and use them as x and y values to position instances of a MovieClip called mcMain. The code for the array will look something like this...
Code:
var lvlMain:Array = new Array();
lvlMain.push(new Array());
var xAxis:Array = new Array([150,400,200,300,100]);
[Code]....
how to create a piece of code that would retrieve the x and y coordinates listed in the arrays and use them to create instances of mcMain. So going from the code above it would create the first instance at x=150 and y=100, second instance........fifth instance at x=100 and y=500.
