ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects - XML - Creating A New Instance Of An Object That Uses An Identical Name To An Older Instance Delete The Previous Instance?
Mar 20, 2009Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Unique Movieclip Tree From An Instance?
Jul 2, 2011I have a structure of movieclips, which is something like:
Top Level: My character's collision movieclip, stickman_root
Second Level: On each frame of the top level, the visual part of the character, in a different pose. stickman_stand, stickman_walk, etc
Third level: in each of the poses in the second level, the character itself is built of several smaller movieclips. stickman_head, stickman_torso, stickman_upperarm_l, etc...
So having created this structure, I'd like to be able to use it as a template. I'd like to turn an instance of the toplevel into a new, unique library symbol, and similarly everything under it should also get a new unique symbol, so I can modify those as needed without messing with my template. So that I can take this stickman template, and change the graphics to create someone less stick-ish, while still retaining the skeleton and animations I made.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Unique Instance Names For AttachMovie?
Aug 16, 2007I'm currently making a TicTacToe game to help build my Flash experience and I've come across an issue. I'll try and explain what everything is doing in my code thus far. I know it's a lot of code for a forum post, but I don't want to leave anything out as someone may have a really nice way to work with this.
Code:
this will be switched to a user defined value (1 or 2), depending on which person the user decides should go first. currently it is set up for the 2nd player to go first
new _global.whosTurn();
_global.whosTurn = 2;
//this sets all cells DISABLED so, at the beginning of the game, any cell is selectable
cell1_isUsed = false;
cell2_isUsed = false;[code].....
ActionScript 2.0 :: Instance-variable (array) Is Supposed To Be Unique
Oct 21, 2004I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

Jun 15, 2009I'm using flash CS4. I am trying to make a piano. It will be the header of a web page when the mouse rolls over a key the appropriate note plays- ideally the key would appear to be pressed as well. I have a jpg of a piano keyboard imported as a graphic. On a new layer I have made a button whos over state has a blank keyframe. I have imported that button to the stage and given the instance a name. I have attached a sound to the over keyframe (middle C).
I have dropped a second instance of the button onto the stage and given it a unique name. When I attach the next sound (D pitch) to the over state it changes the original middle C. How can I get each instance of a button to play a unique sound? I have tried using a new layer for each button but that didnt work. Do I have to make a brand new button for each note? I have reduced my design to include only 16 notes (I originally wanted 32 but I thought that may take too long to download)---

ActionScript 3.0 :: Color Objects Without Instance Names?
Feb 2, 2010I've got a world map with an instance name of map_mc. Inside map_mc, every country is a movieclip object. So for example, the United States is a movieclip. I'm using the GreenSock tint plugin (TweenPlugin.activate([TintPlugin]) to color transition the countries from white to red.
Here's my goal:
I want to randomly color transition (using Tint) every country from white to red over 20 seconds.
Here's my issue:
Is there a way to do this without having to give each movieclip an instance name, creating an array and randomizing the array. Is there a simple loop I could create that color transitions every movieclip object inside map_mc?

Putting Objects (Instance Names) Into Array In Flash CS4
Sep 15, 2009I worked again on a new Project and stumbled while trying Arrays. I have two cubes(cube_mc, cube2_mc) in my scene.
My code:

var gravity:Number = .2
var moving:Array = new Array(cube_mc, cube2_mc);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gravityFUNC);
function gravityFUNC(event:Event):void{
gy+=gravity;
moving.y+=gy;
};
I was trying to put both cubes into the array, and then affecting the whole Array with gravity. When I test it nothing happens, and it shows no errors.

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Automatically Names Objects On Stage "instance#"?
Dec 28, 2010I have 2 TLF text boxes already placed on my main stage. In the property inspector window I give these the instance names: "txt1" and "txt2".I am trying to have a single mouseup event, and figure out which text box it occurred on.My document class has the following code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;[code]...........
Since the objects are already on the stage, I am not sure how to get flash to recognize them as "txt1" and "txt2" instead of "instance#".I tried setting the .name property, but it had no effect.In the publish settings,I have "Automatically declare stage instances"checked.Also is it possible to have a single change event for multiple slider components? The following never fires:
root.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, sliderChanged,false,0,true);

Jan 11, 2010CS3, actionscript 3.0 -- I'm creating a menu page (that looks similiar to a standard DVD menu.) It loops, has graphically rich layers done in photoshop, buttons on top layer.I'm importing the PSD file/layers. The larger background layers have transparency with blend mode and rotate to create a galaxy turning type effect. As I expected -- testing the SWF in browser, it is clear that stagequality.LOW is best to get realistic smoothness due to graphic demand of a big, cloudy turning galaxy.
I would like for the buttons and graphics above the galaxy to have .BEST quality setting to smooth them out.When I set the stagequality unique to each mc, I notice in the SWF that the background though set to LOW, has assumed the setting of button.mc stagequality. Now, I thought about creating a base SWF for the StageQuality.low galaxy layers and then using a loader to place buttons (in seperate SWF) on top of that at high stagequality.It would seem reasonable to want to assign different stage.quality settings to different movieclips to reduce CPU load to minimum while having flexibility to decide which mc gets what quality setting.
