ActionScript 3.0 :: Press MovieClip Instances In Certain Order (Relying On Arrays)
Sep 6, 2009
I have neither the capacity nor the integrity to overcome as3, how to build a system wherein if I were to press movieclip instances in a certain order, would move me to a certain frame if I did. I am trying to do this without making 100 eventlisteners and relying on an array instead. If I could say anything about how as3 is about implementation of values, I'd say it's a bit like using the titanic to deliver a piece of cheese on toast, but I guess what I need to know specifically is
How to make a function that relies on a certain set of array values.
How to splice that entire array after the array reaches a certain number of values.
How to move to frame 2 if the array does possess the correct values.
How to stay on frame 1 if it does not.
So far I have
var inacertainorder:Array = new Array();
var i:*;
i = 0;
function toframetwo(event:MouseEvent)
{gotoAndPlay(2)};
if(inacertainorder[i] == "0,1,2")
{stop();}
else inacertainorder.splice[i>3]
{gotoAndStop(2);};

I am currently making a quiz game and have an XML file which stores all the questions/answers.I then load the xml, and put all of the info into multiple arrays.
ActionScript Code:
var x = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;
x.load ("Stating The Obvious 2.xml")
[code]....
So, how would I edit the code to make the questions appear in a random order? i.e. Make the currentQuestionNumber be random while not repeating itself.Also, is it possible to make the answers appear in a random order on the screen? For example, instead of the "answer1array" element always appearing at the top and the "answer4array" element appearing at the bottom, is there a way to mix things up a bit?

I have an 2D array that will look summat like this:
var numbers:Array=[[10,1,3],[9,2,4],[8,3,5],[7,4,6],[6,5,7],[5,6,8],[4,7,9],[3,8,10],[2,9,1],[1,10,2]];
now how do I order this array by the 3rd number so it looks like this:
2,9,1, 1,10,2, 10,1,3, 9,2,4 , 8,3,5, 7,4,6, 6,5,7, 5,6,8, 4,7,9, 3,8,10
I have tried:
trace(numbers.sortOn(0,Array.NUMERIC));
returns:
5,6,8, 9,2,4, 8,3,5, 7,4,6, 6,5,7, 10,1,3, 4,7,9, 3,8,10, 2, 9,1, 1,10,2
trace(numbers.sortOn(2,Array.NUMERIC));
returns:
5,6,8, 9,2,4, 8,3,5, 7,4,6, 6,5,7, 10,1,3, 4,7,9, 3,8,10, 2, 9,1, 1,10,2
trace(numbers.sortOn(3,Array.NUMERIC));
returns:
5,6,8, 9,2,4, 8,3,5, 7,4,6, 6,5,7, 10,1,3, 4,7,9, 3,8,10, 2, 9,1, 1,10,2
spaced out for ease of reading.

I've been having a problem that I have not found a good solution for. I think this is a problem related to the Flash Player's architecture so an experienced eye here would be welcome.
Imagine you've got 3 symbols in the Library and create instances of them by dragging them onto the stage. Each object is linked to a class. Let's say the object classes are named ObjectA, ObjectB, ObjectC. Their stage instance names are objectA, objectB and objectC.
The classes of these objects reference stage instances. For example, ObjectA might have a reference to ObjectC, like this:
var _objectC = MovieClip(root).objectC;
ObjectC might have a reference to ObjectA, like this:
var _objectA = MovieClip(root).objectA;
It sounds like this should work but it doesn't. When the SWF is published, objects on the stage are instantiated in the order that they were dragged from the Library. This means if objectA is instantiated before objectC, it's reference to objectC will return null and the code will fail.
I know there are ways around this, but I'm trying to come up with a solution that doesn't involve the document class, a helper class like a singleton, or instatiating objects with addChild().
It seems that the only way you can be absolutely certain that all the objects have been instantiated is on the first frame of the movie. So I've been using a system that adds an enterFrame event listener to just get references of stage objects when the first frame runs, like this:
function findStageInstances(event:Event):void
{
var _objectA = MovieClip(root).objectA;
var _objectB = MovieClip(root).objectB;
[code]....
(Note: The ADDED_TO_STAGE event won't help in this case because objects are added to the stage by the SWF based on the order they were dragged onto the stage from the Library.)

I got a ton of movieclips in a class. Is there a more efficient way to apply a function to every instance in the class other than this?
var textArray:Array = [
interludes.interludeIntro.interludeBegin1,
interludes.interludeIntro.interludeBegin2,
[Code]....
I have NO idea why the above doesn't work. I want to turn every single instance in the class interludeIntro invisible, but I want to turn specific instances visible later.
how to insert code on this website, pressing "code" doesn't do anything, so pardon the bad formatting)

I'm not quite sure how to do this - I'm building an admin interface to sort the order of a series of flash slides into a dynamic presentation. The admin interface pulls the slides from xml and displays each as a thumbnail. The thumbnails, when dragged, reorder themselves in the array appropriately. The problem is, I want the actual array of slides to reorganize itself accordingly. My code is this:
function onThumbPress( e:MouseEvent ):void {
e.target.startDrag();
} function onThumbRelease( e:MouseEvent ):void {
e.currentTarget.stopDrag();
sortSlides();
[Code] .....
So what I want to do is take the change in the array (say 0 moves in front of 1 in project_thumbs_array) - and make sure that my other array (project_clips_array) moves item 0 in front of 1 as well. I thought something like this might work but it doesn't:
project_clips_array.sortOn ('project_thumbs_array.x',Array.NUMERIC);

I have made a very simple custom class for keeping track of groups of offices for a company. The class has a Number variable to tell it how many different offices there are, and an Array to store the individual offices by name. It looks like this.
class officeCluster{
static var _className:String = "officeCluster";
// variables var numOffices:Number;
var locationArray:Array = new Array();
// functions function officeCluster() {
trace("officeCluster constructor");
}}
Now, it is my understand that when I create different instances of the class, they will each have their own version of "numOffices" and their own version of "locationArray". When I run traces of "numOffices", this seems to be true. For example,
trace(manufacturingOfficeCluster.numOffices);
trace(servicesOfficeCluster.numOffices);
yields
5
4
In the output panel, which is correct. However, there is trouble with the locationArray. It seems that as I assign different values to it, regardless of what instance I specify, there is only ONE array- NOT one for each instance. In other words,
trace(manufacturingOfficeCluster.locationArray[1].theLocation);
// theLocation is a String. The locationArray itself holds Objects.trace(servicesOfficeCluster.locationArray[1].theLocation);
Is anyone aware of any issues partaining to using Arrays within Class instances? I've been able to work around this by creating multiple arrays within the class and using a different one for each instance, but this seems very sloppy.

In the beginning of the code I have this code to hide the bombs(movieclips). I have all my movieclips visible on the scen in the game, I'm not using addChild.
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 10; i++){
sBomb_[i].visible = false;
}
Before I used Arrays I had ten instances on the scen with different numbers, but how will I do know to get the instances into the variables and into the game?

I'm working on a game engine with a friend of mine, we plan to make it open source so other people can use it too for their own games. We basically have everything done, but I really want to add multiple ground instance support. I would like to use an Array, to call upon all ground layers on the stage, and put it into one call name for my gravity function. So I wouldn't have to have various strings for each ground instance.
Code:
var groundArray:Array = [ground, ground2, ground3];
var groundtile:MovieClip = groundArray[1];
addChild(groundtile);
This is my gravity..
[Code] .....
What I have so far works perfect without arrays.. When I add my above array, I don't get any errors.. but I fall through the ground.

excuse the lazy question but I'm tired of google I have been trying to learn about repositioning movieclips on the click of a button. So basically, the movie clip will move to a location on the screen in accordance to the browser size and relevant to the button pressed.
I have seen a few tutorials that move an object say, 100 pixels. But what I want is for it to move into the top left, or top right, or bottom middle of the screen regardless of the browser size.

I am trying to get a movie clip to pop up when I press a button, when the clip pops up it displays certain information taken from an xml document. I want to be able to display the info held in the first part of the xml to display when I press the 1st button, the info in the 2nd part of the xml to display when i press the 2nd button and so on. However it always seems to loop to the last item in the xml list. I have also posted my actionscript code below:
import mx.xpath.XPathAPI;
var popup_xml:XML = new XML();
var popupArray:Array = new Array;
var popupNames:Array = new Array;
popup_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
popup_xml.onLoad = popUpFunction;

I am working on dynamic duplication of movieclip when the button is pressed one by one. In that movieclip there are two buttons ok and cancel.
Here is the piece of code:
var new_panel:please_wait = new please_wait;
click_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, generate);
function generate(e:MouseEvent):void{
new_panel = new please_wait;

I have a round movieclip ( like a ring or clock ) and i want to press and drag it to rotate it around it's center ( AS3 ). I tried hundreds of ways but none of them works perfectly. I think i miss something in trigonometry and flash's rotation concept.

I'm trying to do is use a keyboard event to play a whole movieclip once then stop once the animation sequence is over. However, when I press the corresponding key, all it does is play the animation for as long as the key is held down. What I want it to do is play the whole animation when you press the key just once.This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var space:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,doNothing);[code]..............

I made a movie clip, with a button inside. When you roll over the button it takes you to frame 2, and on roll out back to frame 1. On press you go to frame 3. Similar to a button. It also attaches a white fading shape over the button on roll over. This button/movie clip works fine.
But when I try to add:
(playbutton_mc_inst = the movie clip button)
Code:
playbutton_mc_inst.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("level01");
}
The roll over, roll out and press commands don't work when I add that.

I have a menu bar as a movie clip and another movie clip acting as a slider. I want to on pressing a button on the Menu bar movie clip get the slider to slide across with easing. however I don't want the easing to be infinite so can't use a this._x*=.9 or some decimal < 1. Loop function only acts on the single frame so it too quick to see.

i have an image inside a movieclip, with the alpha set to 30%. Now I'd want to be able to change the tint (like Hue from Photoshop) of that movieclip on button press. I figured it might be possible by creating a new movieclip, putting a transparant square in it and changing the _alpha and color on buttonpress, but isn't it possible to do directly change the tint of the movie with the image inside with actionscript ?
I tried senocular's method [URL], but my movie turned all pink instead of red transparent.

I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
