ActionScript 3.0 :: Using And Referring To Dynamically Created Instances?
May 26, 2010I'm creating a DDR style game. The 'moving graphics' are being randomly and dynamically created with the default instance name (instance28, instance 30...) I want to be able to refer to these different elements according to another movie clip I press (in this case, they look like piano keys).
So, if a 'C' moving graphic is created, I want the C movie_clip with a listener attached to check the 'C' moving graphic.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamically Created Movie Clips?
Aug 23, 2010I'm trying to build a relatively simple photo gallery where the images are loaded via XML into thumbnail movieclips that have been dynamically generated, positioned and added to the display stack. I used a simple for loop to generate the thumbs and traced the thumb.name to make sure they all had unique instance names. I then added a listener to the thumb mcs in the for loop and created a function that traces the instance name of each thumb mc, to see if all is working, however, every thumb mc traces the same instance name. My question is how can I create the thumbs dynamically in a loop and, essentially, make them buttons that would display the big the full size photo.
Here is my prototype code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = new thumb();
// Positioning: The xy coordinates are in an array outside the for loop.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Move And Fade In Of Dynamically Created Movie Clips
Aug 15, 2005get something to work. What I'm trying to achieve is this: there's a slideshow that automatically changes pictures every 10 secs (I've used a kirupa tutorial to achieve this). The pictures are loaded from an xml file, which also contains captions for the pictures. What I would like to do is to have the caption fade in and slightly move to the left with each picture change. E.g. picture 1 is displayed, caption 1 fades in, moves to the left and stays there; picture 2 is displayed, caption 2 fades in, moves to the left and stays there, and so on.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Created A Grid With Over 200 Movie Clips Dynamically Using A For Loop?
Dec 9, 2005I've been staring at the screen too long and I'm sure the answer is simple but this has been bugging me for a bit now. I've created a grid with over 200 movie clips dynamically using a for loop. I was wondering if there was a way to assign rollovers and such to each new clip using the same loop.
I've been poking around with it a bit but can't seem to get it working and sure don't want to write over 200 rollover functions so any help would be great.

i tried:
"_root."+A+B+"_mc._x" += 1;

Flash :: Created Multiple Movie Clips And Then A Single Big Movie?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 Referring To Code Created Objects
Oct 26, 2009I'm creating mc's during runtime like this:
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= pictures; i++) {
this.attachMovie("box_mc", "box" + i+ "_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth())
}
So, if pictures is 5, then we end up with 5 boxes, box1_mc, box2_mc, box3_mc and so on. But I can't work out an easy way to refer to them later on. For example, say someone presses a button and I want to move all of them - how can I set their _x value in a loop? For example, if I wanted to move all of them 100 pixels, then this wouldn't work:
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= pictures; i++) {
"box"+i+"_mc"._x = "box"+i+"_mc"._x - 100;
}

Jan 22, 2009So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.
Here is the code I am using for the buttons:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Name A Variable Or Created Movie Clip?
Dec 10, 2009Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.

Jul 17, 2010I'm using Flash 8.
I've made 18 movies in a for loop. I'm trying to modify a text field in those movies. I am unable to do so in the for loop. Something with my referencing is wrong.
The dynamic text field in each movie is named "eventText".
ActionScript Code:
_root.attachMovie(myData["loadHandler"+x]+"Movie", myData["event"+x], x, {_x:100, _y:100});
_root.myData["event"+x].eventText.text = "test";
If I hardcode the event name for testing purposes, it puts the data in correctly:
ActionScript Code:
_root.houseSale2.eventText.text = "test";

The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason.
