ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Property To A Movieclip?
Aug 4, 2009
I have the 4 countries of the UK that get scaled up on click. I because each country is a different sizes geographically they do not scale up by the same amount. I would like to set a pixel scale size like this (scotland is the name of the movieclip)
scotland.expandWidth = 246;
scotland.expandHeight = 406;
The problem I am having is getting this value when the country is clicked, tried few things but nothing works.
trace(MovieClip(evt.target).expandWidth)
trace(evt.target.name.expandWidth);

I am not sure if this is possible, but can I add a custom property to the MovieClip class. I'd like to add a tooltip-functionality to some things so I'd just need a "tip"-property in which I can store a String. Would this work, or do I have to create a new Class extending MovieClip?

I want to add a function as a property something similar to this is what i'm looking for (only that this generates an error).
ActionScript Code:
function getPosition():Point {
return new Point(this.x, this.y);
}
[code].....
And i know i can create a class in an external file. But this is supposing i want to keep it in the same file. And i know that is not a good idea either, but just assume that i have a valid reason.

generally, how i work involves designing all of my graphics in Flash Authoring, converting them to Sprite symbols by changing the base class to flash.display.Sprite, give my instances names and finally export them to ActionScript.the approach actually permits me to dynamically create properties in code on my Sprite instances that i've exported to ActionScript, just as if they were instances of MovieClips. i'm not entirely sure why i'm able to do this, but i can. in polling the objects to make sure of their superclass, they are indeed Sprites and not MovieClips.however, as expected, if i program a new sprite from scratch in code and try to dynamically add a property to the new programmed sprite a compile time error will result.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have two values which are both ints: val1 and val2.
I set a movie clip's width equal to the difference of the two values:
mc.width = val1 - val2
After doing this calculation, the width of the object is 149.9 when it should be 150. This happens for other values as well. When I trace(val1 - val2), it returns 150.
What seems to be happening is the width value of my movie clip is not adjusting correctly. My movie clip is composed of a bunch of bitmaps and filters. I didn't think this would be a problem, but when I switched it out for a plain shape, the problem went away.
Is there something funny about bitmaps or filters that would make the width value screw up by .1?

I am generating the following text box and the data in it dynamically:
_root.createTextField("recipe"+i+"_txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 5, 100, 600, 400);
The problem I am having is the text that is generated only stays on one line and therefore doesn't fit into the text field. I know there is a way to add the multiline property to other types of components but can this be done dynamically?

Reading a book i stumbled on this example:
Here is the class:
package com.learningactionscript3.loading {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
[Code]....
What I deduce from this example is that the swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo and _ldrInfo = this.contentLoaderInfo refer to the same object in the same memory location. So you may think: "well the last added event will overwrite the first one (the internally one added). But it doesn't. The two event listeners will respond sequentially. First the internal listener and then the external listener.

I can't get the letterspacing property to function in a dynamic text box, I have tested it with color and it works just fine. just letterspacing. And I have embedded the font, so I know it isn't that. The code affecting the text box is this.
Code:
var txt_box0:TextField
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = 4
//trace(format1.letterSpacing)
txt_box0.setTextFormat(format1)
Those working with AS2 have had similar problems but managed to fix it by typing "setNewTextFormat", which has been phased out in AS3.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

I have a scrollpane in my library.Inside a movieclip, I create an image gallery and add it to the scrollpane.I do this in this function.[code]Now everything works fine, and no problems occur.I do however get the runtime error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::ScrollPane/endDrag()It doesnt seem to affect my file, but I am sure it would be better to try and get rid of it.I think it has something to do with adding my movieclip to the main movieclip, and maybe.I am not removing it when I add a different movieclip.Whenever I add a movieclip to the main one, I use container_mc.addChild(...);Does addChild check to see if a movieclip already exist, and remove it if it does? Or do I need to remove my clips beforehand?

I have a MovieClip called chipmovie which I have exported to a class method called ChipMovie, when I try and add it to another movieclip, for some reason it doesn't display.
I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:
init y = -151 height is 0
for all the ChipMovie objects I try to add.

I'm trying to split my stage into 2 sections
- bubbleZone
- menuZone
so I have created 2 sections and turned them into movieClips. On the first bubbleZone movieClip I want to add multiple "bubble" movieClips which will only appear in the bubbleZone movieClip. See code below. However, the bubbles seem to be appearing all over the stage and are hidden by the bubbleZone movieClip. Is there anyway to make the bubbleZone movieclip pretty much just a background for catching events and then tying the individual bubbles to just the bubbleZone so they don't appear anywhere else on the stage?
var bubbleZone:BubbleZone = new BubbleZone();
bubbleZone.vx = 1;
bubbleZone.height = 600;
bubbleZone.width = 820.8;

I have bought a flash template in an online store. There are different buttons on it and some of them link to existing local html files from the pack - index-1.html, index-2.html etc. There are also some buttons that don't go anywhere right now but they are intended to be linked to some urls too. They react with animation on mouse rollover and I suppose they should go to some url if I set it somewhere on click. But there is no documentation about that in the pack. I searched through the Flash source file and all html pages files for something like "index", "geturl", also looked through them manually to realize how it could be made but with no luck. So, my question - is that possible that way or another to make that MovieClip button link to some my page, for example, "contacts.html".

I m trying to create 30 movieClip( say enemy) inside a MovieClip (say rect) dynamically.Now enemy can be accessed as rect.enemy meanwhile i need to convert the movieClip enemy into Object so that i can define property like enemy.jump, enemy.inAir.I have successfully created the 30 enemy but when i tried to trace its any properties like enemies[j].inAir, somewhere else in program, it shows undefined.
var enem:Enemy=new Enemy();
var enemies:Array=new Array();

I have 290 transparent .png image files that i would like to be quickly added to a movie-clip so that i can use it as an animation. (As2 or 3 either way).
The pictures are all the same height/width and format. Is there a quick way i could import them to a movieclip quickly, as manually drag and drop into the movieclip is tiring?

//This small class add the same movieclip to the stage with random scale and position
// Garden represents a movieClip in the library

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 am wrapping my head around AlivePDF. I can't seem to find an aswer to this question. Can I add a movieclip as the data to include inside the page? I have it so that the PDF generates text from specific text fields, but I want it to show "mainContent_mc" to the page. I am building this as an AIR app (apperantly you can't do this from an EXE file published from Flash).

i have created a preloader for my swf file. I want to simply add an image onto the stage whilst another swf is loading. My image is saved in a movieclip called image in the library. How would i add it to the stage and make it stay there whilst it is being loaded. I have tried manually moving it onto the stage but it only stays for 1 frame.
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

My code is simply looping through an xml file and creating 'pages' (which are later animated).
This has all worked fine but now I want to add a sprite over the entire contents of the page if the contents of the xml contain a URL.
At run-time I can see that the checks for the URL are being processed correctly and that the overlay is being generated, but I cannot "see" it on the page.
The following code is located in a for loop for every page in the xml file:
var page:Page = new Page(); //MovieClip in my library
// ... other stuff
var textMC:FadeText = new FadeText(xml); //load the text from the xml fragment for this page
[Code]....
I now believe it is something wrong with the XML. It is correctly parsed XML (otherwise FlashPlayer would throw exceptions in my face) and it appears that this code works on every page except the second. Further more, if the second page is set as visible (a flag in the XML determins if the page is created or not) then none of the other pages overlay works.

An empty movieClip container will dynamically update it's width and height depending on the sum of it's child objects dimensions. Is there a way to add padding to this value?For example, say you have 10 child displayObjects within a movieclip and all together their width adds up to 100px. Therefore the parent clip's width is 100. Is there anyway to add say 2px padding around these child clips to make the parent clip's width 104? The basic goal here would be to set the parent's width independently and unrelated to it's contents dimensions.

i have a preexisting instance known as gamelevel. When the screen scrolls, gamelevel.x is modified. When the player shoots a projectile, this projectile is not moved along with the screen, because it is simply added using the addChild. How can i add the movieclip, but have it contained within the gamelevel instance?

Lets say i use the code below to add the player movieclip into the gamelevel instance.
gamelevel.addChild(player);
When the player movieclip is added it is 'on top' or infront of the gamelevel instance.
Now i know you can simply move a particular instance back to the front with the addChild() function. However since i am adding Player1 into the gamelevel instance, this does simply nothing.
How can i add the player into a particular layer in the gamelelve instance?

My problem is as follows, I can create as many movie clips from on function as I wish, but as soon as I try and do two different functions - it messes up for some reason :S
Basically with my game, it is required for me to create these movieclips every so often. Because of this I created a re-usable function to do the creating:
ActionScript Code:
function create_note1() {
note1num++;
[Code].....
As you can see there are four different functions, and there are only 4 different movieclips that are added to the stage.
My problem is like this: I can call a single note (like create_note1();) as many times as I want without any problems, but If I try create_note1(); and create_note2(); It will remove note 1 and keep only note 2 on the screen. The problem really stumps me though, because if I called something like this: create_note1();, create_note2();, create_note4(); I may have notes 1 & 4 going down the screen and note 2 will have disappeared.
