Trying to add MC's to the stage from the library using their class name, but its not working out. I'm convinced the below should work, but it does not so there must be something wrong.I get the following error:TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at tesVars2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I have stored images in an array but how do I add the images to the stage one by one according to the array.
View 5 RepliesI am attempting to push an object into an array based on its instance name on the stage...how do I do this?
On my stage I've simply made a box, turned it into a movie clip named "mcBox" and have given it an instance name of "box_mc" on the stage. Here is my current test code:
Code:
var energy:Number = 0.75;
var boxArray:Array = new Array;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
[Code]....
Since the default amount of energy satisfies the if statement I push the movieClip into the array and then trace it. In my output I receive "[object MovieClip]"...is there anyway to distinguish it by its instance name?
I am trying to create a card game (deck of 24 cards/6 cards will be dealt to the stage at one time (3 arrays)).
I want 6 cards to be dealt to the stage when you click the "Deal" button. I think i have the loop set up properly, the first array traces, however i can't get the cards to be added to the stage. What am i doing wrong? Once i get the first set of cards to be built to the stage, i will want to remove the previous set and the second set will be dealt to the stage once the "Deal" button is clicked again.
//code
var aArray = new Array();
aArray[0]=Card1;
aArray[1]=Card2;

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?
I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.
I'm new to AS3, but our teacher thinks we're all amazing geniuses and assigned us this project which was due last class. Great, I know, I have to do it even if it's late. Only 5 students out of 28 were able to finish the assignment.[code]Those are all the assignment details he gave us.All I have so far. What I have only adds the array to the list. Nothing much else.[code]Also, when the array prints on a new line, the prior item on the array must not print as show above.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a simple RPG platformer where a character will pass over an object. When the action key is pressed and the character is over top the object, I would like a block of text to appear on the stage with a close button to cancel out.
I would like to know how a person would go about making a "pop-up" text box.
How can I link to a movie in my libary to tell it to behave like a button. This is what I have tried but it's not working.
Code:
var selectedButtons:Array = loadButtons();
var itemX:Number = 100; // initial item x position
var itemY:Number = 100; // initial item y position
[Code]....
As you can see I am adding the Movies to my stage throught thier class name(apples etc). How come I can't link to it? Is it because I need to be using an instance name? And if so I would I assign one?
I'm making a slideshow with 7 pictures in it, what i want to do is add the images to the array.
image names/class(?) are image1, image2, image3, ... image7 and I'm adding them in a loop.
Code:
var arrayName:Array = new Array();
for(var i:int=0;i<6;i++){
arrayName[i] = //this is where I'm stuck
}
need help with that one line of code, and how to get the name right while using numbers in the array elements and, if possible, the class.
I've never done this before, but I'm prety sure its possible to store almost anything in an array.
How do I do this? I just want to be able to access its contents by array[x][y], but apparently that doesn't work for setting them, only reading.

I have 2 movieclips in the library exported as class d1 and d2 , I want to add them to the stage using something like the code below.
this doesn't work but you can understand what i want to do. what is the correct syntax ?
I've got a long list of similar movieclips I'm adding to the stage. There's 9 in total and the code looks like this...
stage.addChild(zone0_mc);
zone0_mc.x=267.6;
zone0_mc.y=120.5;

I am pretty new to actionscript 3. I want to remove the movieclip on the stage and add a new movieclip but the button is within the currently running movieclip that I want removed. I am trying this function
homeArtist_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newArtist);
function newArtist(e:MouseEvent):void{ removeChild(homeAni_mc); addChild(artistAni_mc);}
I get these errors
[code]........
//This small class add the same movieclip to the stage with random scale and position
// Garden represents a movieClip in the library
//attached fla and document class
Why using the same name garden for all instances of Garden is not a problem? Can I track each individual instance of Garden on the screen or recall it for something else?

I have this library with more than 80 objects that i want to bind to my keyboard. My idea is use the "keyCode" to call the object to the stage, constructing the object's name inside a variable.This is the code that I'm trying to use, but the bold text line always give me an error (constructor, syntax and others) depending how i write that line.[code]I'm not very experienced with AS3 so i don't know if this is the right approach to solve my problem. Any help is well received.

in my next.swf, I have a button which I want to remove the donkey with::

removeChild(donkey);
OK - doesnt work - it doesnt let me export the swf anyhow because the next.swf has no 'reference' to donkey existing at all. What's going on?
