I have a MC that I add to the stage multiple times using addChild. My adding code is:
Code:
function executeAddChild():void {
for (var j:int = 0; j < picturesList.length; j++) {
var MC:MovieClip = new box();

I'm dynamically loading JPG file using Loader class. Everything works except if I want to tile the image few more times using addChild(loader.content) it just doesn't work. It always removes previous instance and leaves only the last one. I've tried everything but with no luck. Here's my code:
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(true);
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaderDone);
[Code]....
i want to have multiple blocks moving over my stage, but i want use just the one mc in the libary and my function, what adds a new block with random color, alpha and speed.I think, that i have to use addChild();, but i have no idea how to use it properly.

I have a for loop wich passes 11 times:
private var currentItem:uint;
for(var i:uint = 0;i<10;i+){
addChild(arr[currentItem]);
[Code]....
So the problem is that the array only contains 6 items. So when it comes to the 6th item the currentItem resets and the next 4 items that are getting added are the 4 first from the array again. Now when i trace the items, the last 4 trace "null". how can i add items from the array multiple times without losing its properties etc?
What I am trying to achieve is to remove an array (containing a single MovieClip multiple times) from the stage alltogether, once you call an end public function. I can remove all the other Movieclips on stage (that are not in the array) using this.removechild(MyChild) The array is located in a package, calling another package where the MC is located, and put on stage with Event.ENTER_FRAME.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to create a chain of objects (either movie clips or sprites) that move left to right across the stage continuously. I know I can create two movie clips that contain a series of several 'chain links' and are each a little wider than the stage width. Then I can move both clips across the stage and when the first movie clip is completely off stage reset its x position back to 0. Likewise, when the second clip is completely off the stage on the right, reset it's position off the stage to the left.
This works and gives me the basic effect that I want by creating this uninterrupted moving chain, but it doesn't seem like its the most efficient way to achieve this. What I thought would be more efficient would be to create each link in the chain separately from an individual mc in my library by programmatically adding new instances to the stage.So, I created a single chain link mc and set its export linkage to 'Link' and left the base class to flash.display.MovieClip. Next, I placed the following snippet of the code on the first frame of my movie:
Code:
var xPos:int = 0;
var yPos:int = 100;

I have the followings:
_p:Player (which is a MC)
a1:Animation1 (which is a MC)
_p.addChild(a1); //doesn't display anything
_p.stage.addChild(a1); //displays a1
Why won't the MC display a child without using his stage?
If im usin function to add a mc to the stage like so:var myChild:MC= new MC();
function somefunc()
{
stage.addChild(myMC)

I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work.This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;

I have a image of a person that I would like to load a certain number of times in a row to show a total of how many people took part in this particular event. In total I need 166 replications of this image, is there any actionscript I can use to do this without having to create a key frame for every separate image?
View 7 RepliesI have this animated block that I want to use multiple times in a scene. Everything looks fine until I move the background(separate layer) with a tween. The second it moves it shows only one animating block instead of 4. Also, if I click on "show this layer only" it only shows the one block.So how can I use this movie clip multiple times?
View 4 RepliesI have an array of suffixes that I'm using to load images, some of which are used multiple times:

I'm running into is that whatever loader calls the multiple used SWF last gets it. How do I fix this so that the same loader can be used multiple times?
What I want is to do this [URL] in actionscript rather than with tweens...as u can see, it takes EONS too long to load (on some PCs at least) (and I know, it DOES need a preloader (which I have), but I'm going to add that later. I want to get this going first). Now, I read a decent bit about onEnterFrame, and did some tutes, but I'm not quite sure how to use it to do what I want.
View 2 RepliesI have a large image that exceeds the bitmapdata limits, so I am trying to break it up into 4 separate images and encode them separately using the PNGEncoder. The first 1 comes out great. The remaining 3 all contain the same bytearray data and result in a blank image.
Code:
public function encodeUsersDrawing():void{
pngImageQuadrant1 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);
pngImageQuadrant2 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);
pngImageQuadrant3 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);
pngImageQuadrant4 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);

when I click a button it loads an SWF, then when I click another button it loads another SWF into the same loader. However it appears to be loading multiple SWF's in conjuction with the amount of times I clicked a button. So say if I clicked a button 3 times it would load 4 of the same SWF's on the forth time and load them at the same time.

Im sure there is a simple way to do this, but it's been driving me nuts for days now.I am trying to loop through all the data in my xml file, thats no problem, however I need to read the data three times for the menu I am building. Is there a simple way to do this? Basically I want to take the first set of results, then add on the second then the third. So I will end up with a list of data three times what is actually contained in the xml doc.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a movie where I need to have several copies of the same external image.It seems that when viewing the movie in Firefox the external image is downloaded only once regardless of the number of copies I make, which seems correct.In IE the external image is downloaded once each time I copy it within the movie.And that just doesn't seem right.(I've upgraded both IE and FF to Flash Player 10.)For testing purposes I've written the following code
Code:
var pages = new Array();
pages[0] = "images/Page_01.jpg";

Is there a way to make an item, which can be draged onto the stage mulitple times? Like in making beats in music apps. You select a sample and drag it into the stage.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble with sound in Flash. I may have went about coding the wrong way, because most of my codes are on frames.
So, I have these two variables
var outsideDay:Sound = new daysong();
var outsideNight:Sound = new nightsong();
And I want to play these songs on a specific frame. However, the sounds play sporadically, like 50 times at once. I think it's because I have other codes that link to the frames with a Enter_Frame function. How can I get the sounds to loop and not play multiple times at once?
i want to reuse an image multiple times within an item renderer, is it possible to embed the image and then reuse multiple times without having to go back to the server for the image? Is this the most performant solution?

The following code works in the following way:
When I enter incorrect values in the txtother.textbox and focuses out, an alert will be displayed as "Please enter a valid Format Mask." . After pressing the "ok" button in the Alertbox the txtOther.focusout even is triggered again. i.e. immediately after pressing the OK of alert, the same ALERT is displayed again.
I have added the code for ur reference:
//in mxml File:
<mx:Canvas label="General" >
<mx:VBox>
[Code].....
I don't want to the alert to come again and again .. I need it in such a way that when the ok button of alert is pressed. The txtother.text should be in focus, and the alert should not come again and again as before.
I have 3 movieclips each containing an audio. These will be dragged and dropped on stage.However I need to be able to click a MC and have it "copy", or whatever, it self to be dragged so I can drag n' drop a mc multiple times.So for instance lets say I have 3 movieclips a_mc, b_mc and c_mc, on stage.In the area I want to drop them lets say I want to do thisa_mc, a_mc, c_mc, -or- b_mc,c_mc,c_mc etc... but still leaving a_mc, b_mc and c_mc in there original area.

Here's what i've got...
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
_root.attachMovie("flag_mc", "flag_mc" + nextDepth(), nextDepth(),{_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
}
My problem is that it only adds one instance of flag_mc to the movieclip. When I press the mouse down again, it removes my old instance and puts a new one. Is it possible to make it leave the old one and add another?
I have the following code:
Code:
Locale.autoReplace = true;
et.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){Locale.loadLanguageXML("et")});
en.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){Locale.loadLanguageXML("en")});
ru.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){Locale.loadLanguageXML("ru")});
This works only the first time each button is pressed.What command do I have to use to change displayed language to that one that is allready loaded? Or how to unload existing xml from memory to force the autoReplace work again?
ActionScript Code:
addChild(mc_mc);
addChild(mc_mc);
Are there two objects added to the stage or does the last addChild method overwrite the first?
