ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Sprite And Run A Loop Create 100 Instances And Add Them To Stage

Jul 17, 2009

I thought would be coded like this:
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
sp.graphics.beginFill(0xFF88CC);
sp.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 50);

[Code]....

however, I realize even tho im looping that addChild method, its still adding sp, so do I add a new naming convention in the loop, or should I be adding these instances to another display object.... this seems like such a simple thing to do yet I cant figure it out, I also want to randomize the x and y, but this first seems to be the issue I need to address.

Reference Instances Created By A Loop Elsewhere?

Jan 20, 2010

[code]My code will:

- loop through the Grid array and place each tile on the stage

- assign RedBall a random Grid coordinate and places it on the stage at that coordinate

I want to be able to click RedBall, which will create a border around the tile beneath RedBall, and create borders around the tiles above, below, to the left and to the right. BUT, I don't want to reference the tiles by their distance in pixels from RedBall or from each other; I want to reference the tiles by their coordinates in the Grid array. So I want to:

- get the coordinates of RedBall

- use those same coodinates to reference the tile at the same coordinates in the Grid array

- use the tile's coordinates to reference the tiles above/below/left/right

- apply a border to all these tiles

What's the best way to reference an instance of a tile? Should I apply a name to each instance as it's created in the loop? like myTile.name = "tile"+i+"_"+j; ? If so, how do you reference that instance later? Just tile1_3 ? Do you have to prepend it with root, or stage, or the class it was originally created in? Do you have to use getChildByName? OR, can you still reference it later without having given it a name?

IDE :: How To Tween Instances Using Transitions With Loop

Dec 5, 2009

I have created 4 movieclips and named (instance) them box1, box2, box3, box4 and shuffled them with the following code:
var vector_name:Array = new Array("box1", "box2", "box3", "box4");
function shuffle(a,b):Number {
var num : Number = Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
return num;
} var shuffled_vector:Array = vector_name.sort(shuffle);
trace(shuffled_vector);

How can I tween the instances using fl.transitions.Tween with a loop. I tried the following but did not work..
btnPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startMotion);
function startMotion(me:MouseEvent):void {
btnPlay.visible = false;
for(var j:int = 0; j < 4; j++) {
var twSlide:Tween;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Working With Multiple Instances - For Loop?

Dec 17, 2011

I'm very new to Adobe Flash CS5.5. Can you create a common instance EG: "Enemy" and then control it like so:
Enemy.x += 1;
So that all instances of Enemy will move forward one pixel each frame? Instead of just one enemy? If this is not possible could I set up some sort of array of enemies like you can in C and try something like:
int EnemyNo = 1;
for(EnemyNo = 1; EnemyNo < 5; EnemyNo++) {
Enemy[EnemyNo].x += 1;
}
Does Flash even support "for" loops?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Creating MovieClip Instances In Loop

May 28, 2010

So I know that if I want to create an instance of a movie clip called part01Roads from the library I do this:

Code:
var part01Roads_mc:part01Roads = new part01Roads();
addChild(part01Roads_mc);
part01Roads_mc.x = -22379;
part01Roads_mc.y = 317;

Well I want to take this one step further if it is at all possible. Lets say I have 100 different movie clips labeled in a sequence: part01Roads, part02Roads, part03Roads ..... part100Roads. Instead of rewriting the above code 100 times, can I make a loop to do this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Multiple Instances Generated In The For Loop?

Aug 2, 2010

In the library of the FLa I have a symbol that is exported for actionscript with a class name of 'aClip'.I am placing multiple instances of it on stage as follows:

Code:

for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var myClip:aClip = new aClip();
myClip.x = 0;
myClip.y = 50 + (50 * i);
}

Each myClip will move across the stage at 1 unit per frame. If I only had 1 instance on the stage I would implement as follows:

Code:

//make an enterFrame listener for the stage
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveClip);
//make a function for the listener[code]...

The problem I am having, is getting this to work for the multiple instances generated in the for loop.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Loop To Create Text Field With The Loop's Current Value

Dec 11, 2010

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:

ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}

So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

And I want to add a blackhole sort of thing when I click down on the stage but I cannot access the object from the blackhole function since it's declared inside the timer.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Two Instances Of An Array Object?

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Multiple Movie Instances?

Feb 18, 2006

I'm running into a roadblock with creating multiple instances of a movie clip. I'm trying to display a series of boxes across the bottom of the stage. The number of boxes are determined by _global.maxStep[_global.sectionNum]. I have a movie clip called StepBox that will serve as the template for each box. In the StepBox movie clip is a dynamic text box called stepNumText, which I want to set to the value of the counter. The problem I have is that I've only ever used attachMovie, but there is no movie for it to attach to. I tried using Content since that's the name of the layer this is in, but I know that doesn't make sense (and it doesn't work).

Code:
_global.updateBoxes = function() {
var curr_box;
for (i = 1; i <= _global.maxStep[_global.sectionNum]; i++) {[code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Globally-accessible Class Instances?

Jan 25, 2009

I created a custom class (no arguments needed for constructor) and I wanted to create an instance of that class that can be accessed by AS from aywhere inside the SWF (i.e. globally from any function or class).So far the only way I can think of doing that is to create the custom class with an associated MovieClip Symbol, drag an instance of that MovieClip Symbol to the stage, and then give it an instance name. It seems like I can then use the instance name to access that class instance anywhere.
