ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Refer To An Instance Of A Movieclip
Feb 19, 2009the second bit of code "mc_inst1.onRollOver..." works, but the first bit of code, which tries to loop through all movie clip instances, will not work.I think this is because myReference is a String. But can anyone suggest how else I should construct my reference to the instance name?
Code:

Jun 25, 2009I have a movieclip on stage, but I want to move it or animate it with the use of an .as file, how do I refer to a movieclip on stage through a .as file?
Is this even possible or do I have to pass the actual movieclip as a parameter to a function of the class?
To make things more clear, here is my code:

Code:
var myBox:Box = new Box();
myBox.x = 80;
myBox.y = 160;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Variable Value To Refer To A Movieclip On Stage
Aug 8, 2006asically I have a variable in which I store various numbers depending on other aspects of the flash movie and I have a bunch of movieclips that are on the stage all named by number. I want to use the variable value to access and run methods etc of these movieclips.
e.g.
var myVar = "10";
myVar.myFunction();
where the item on stage called '10' will react. I realise this is a confusion between a string and an object/movieclip reference but i'm almost certain ive done this before and ive got a feeling it had something to do with [] brackets on the end of something...

Nov 19, 2009I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

But it seems futile.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip To Move To The Position Of Each Of Buttons From Any Position?
May 13, 2010I'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,followCa t);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,follow Cat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat );

Flex :: Insert One Vector Into Another At Specific Position?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Rotate Wheel To Specific Position?
Nov 1, 2006I have searched the forum and could not find anything specific, so if you do, please show me the link. Let me set some theoretic environment for the question. let's take a circle that is like an anolog clock but only has 8 numbers; 12 o'clock, somewhere around 1:30, 3 o'clock, 4:30, 6, and so on.
I want to have each number, a button, and when clicked will rotate to the top of the circle.NOTE this is a static image, so the numbers will upside down, etc...the do not need to stay rightside up, as they will rotate with the circle image.
Every time a number is clicked, it will rotate the circle until that number is at the top, and can move either left or right depending on which number is clicked. I thought of doing this in design time, but there are many combinations, and it would be too weighty.
I do not know how to rotate it in actionscript and then have it stop at a certain position, which I assume I could plan out in degrees, and possibly use flags to tell which had been clicked in which position,
ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweening Objects To Specific Position?
May 10, 2011Right now I'm working on a website that has movie clips that I want to tween back and forth across the stage when a button is pressed.
Here's the idea:
When 2_btn is pressed, I want 1_mc, 2_mc, and 3_mc to move from right to left and then stop when 2_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 3_btn is pressed I want all three to be animated from right to left until 3_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 1_btn is pressed I want all three to move from right to left until 1_mc is positioned on the stage, then stop moving and play
Basically I have no idea how to accomplish this, or how to word it into Google.
What I have right now, which obviously isn't accomplishing what I want is:
Tween from left to right across the timeline, and then using a gotoAndPlay, and then stop(); on the frame..

Actionscript 3 :: AddChildAt() To Add Item At Specific Index Position?
May 16, 2011I have a textBox and I am using it as a mail address input field where the user can type in several addresses, a bit same as in hotmail. Each address is rendered into a clickable button. Thus upon double-clicking on a specific address I want the item to be editable. After having edited the address when the user taps enter, the item is added to the list of mail adds.I am adding it using the code below:
flowBox.addChildAt( myItem, myindex);
However addChildAt seems to add the item as the last item in the list. But I want it to add the item the position where it was originally. Say the item was at position 2 in the mail list, after editing adn tapping enter, it should add at position 2 itself and not at the end of the list.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Movie When Move To Specific Position
Nov 15, 2009I'm working on this scroll from tweener [URL]. I've made a button that lets me reach the position I want on the scroll
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
};
Now I'd like to load a movie when I move to this or that position. Maybe with if?
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
if (_root.Position=4) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}};
but this doesn't work (it loads the movie alright but not because of the position).
ActionScript 3.0 :: Auto-scroll Text To A Specific Position?
Jun 6, 2010I have a text document which is several pages long and will use scrolling capabilities. This text document will be contained in an external swf. There will be 6 buttons on the main timeline which will all load the external swf with the text document but I would like the text to autoscroll to a specific postion/part of document that relates to that topic/button. Also, i would like the scrollbar to move in relation to position/part of document in case the user stays in the external swf and reads and scrolls through the document. Is this possible? I have searched for a tutorial on this but have found nothing. I have tried different things but nothing has worked.

View 2 RepliesIDE :: Way To Get 'MovieClip' To Move From Position A In Keyframe 1 To Position B
Feb 3, 2010What i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.
