ActionScript 3.0 :: Adds 100 Movieclips To The Screen?
Jan 4, 2011
i have successfully created a loop that adds 100 movieclips to the screen but my problem is that they all appear on the screen at the same time. what is the best way to make the movieclips appear within a few seconds of each other?
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=100; i++) {
var circle:MovieClip = new ball();
addChild(circle);
circle.x=Math.random()*stage.stageHeight;
circle.y=Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
}
I am trying to figure out how to control 3 movieClips on the screen via XML. I can successfully control one, but I want to control all 3 if the XML has the values.
Here is my code: var ducks:Array; var myLoader:URLLoader; var i:uint; var xPos:int; var yPos:int; var myXML:XML; [Code] .....
I think I would need to create some sort of list for each specific node (arrayPos, xPos, yPos, isvis) and then run a for loop so that each movieClips values get assigned properly. I have uploaded the .fla and XML for anyone who wishes to view it.
I'm currently making a game in which movie clips move across the screen and you have to shoot at them to make them disappear and gain points but I am having problems with the code. I have been able to get the movie clips to disappear but when instead of points appearing in the Dynamic text box, i get the letters 'NaN'.
This is the code I am using at the moment: this.onRelease = function():Void { this.unloadMovie(); _root.panda++; }; (panda is the var name of the dynamic text box).
My mc's move across the screen at the exact same speed. After a minute or so, they start to clump together. I think it's some type of inefficiently in my code slowing down the processing. I've attached the files. test.zip
I am trying to create a movie where several movieclips move towards the center of the screen and organise themselves. I havve the following code attached to the timeline, the clips move ok but dont interact.
Code: target_mc = ["mc0", "mc1", "mc2", "mc3"]; movement = function () { numMcs = target_mc.length;
I'm building a flash website that needs to have fullscreen enabled for the entire site. Does anyone know how to make only specific movieclips scale up in size when entering full screen mode, like various background movieclips?
screen size: 550 x 400 i want to spawn movie clips randomly from the upper part of the screen and to make them go to the bottom. My game name is coin collector, so i want to spawn coins falling down and make my stickman catch'em.
ActionScript Code: Add the AS2 in a box like this one
When my site finishes loading, just before the animation begins, I see for a very short period of time (just a frame I guess) weird images, actually the outlines of some elements (screenshot 1) that are supposed to have alpha = 0 and visible = false, and a weird shape which I believe has something to do with a big gradient - also with alpha = 0 and visible = false (screenshot3) also the preloader is all messed up (screenshot2) .ve made a few changes and these weird images and outlines persist for a longer time.

A quick rundown of the code is I am creating movie clips that I then am trying to scroll across the screen as an infinite horizontal scroller. Here is the problem. I am able to create the effect I want using text fields, but when using movie clips and the EXACT code, it doesn't do anything. Here is the code: (sorry kinda long)
I have this code, which should work fine, but it doesn't.
Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed += 1;
Text="Unit 1 destroyed "+Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed+" Mobs!" It should set Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed to current value + 1 If Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed is 5 at the start, it should be this: Unit 1 destroyed 6 Mobs But that doesn't happen instead I get this: Unit 1 destroyed 5 1 Mobs
I want to gotoAndPlay to another frame with the value adds to 5. Say if I press the add2 button and the add3 button, I want to go to another frame.I tried making score.text a variable and it didn't work.
Due to my need to tween TextFields, Flash managed to botch up simple scale Tweening.Right now, the font is embedded, and it's doubling the total SWF size.I want to be able to tween the size of the TextFields, without that "jerky" motion. Some way to convert it to vector graphics would likely be the best option.I tried rendering as a bitmap, but it isn't getting the desired result, and the hit areas of the TextFields seem way off. Also, it tends to blur quite a bit, even though the scale is only 1.2.
[as]portfolio_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, portfolio); home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, home); var loader:Loader=new Loader(); loader.load(new URLRequest("portfolio.swf"));
[code]....
so i can click on a button and after 2 seconds my swf loads fine. but then when i click on the other button to unload, remove it. It plays again...how can i remove it so it doesnt keep adding itself.
I'm rather belatedly getting to grips with the new tweening system introduced in CS4. To be quite honest it's been a nightmare, but I'm starting to see its good points now.One thing that still drives me crazy is when you create a new tween and Flash creates a new layer for you and puts the tween into it. Why? And how do I stop it? Over the course of a 10 min animation with a lot of tweens I could end up with hundreds of layers
I'm trying to create a button that, when first clicked, will add a MC to the stage. Then, on the second and subsequent clicks will remove the existing MC and replace it with a new one. The code I'm using is:
I have two classes, both in the same package, one of which parses xml and adds a value to the second via an internal set method. This initially works fine but as soon as add a public get method to the second class I get an error (1059: Property is read-only).
The problem goes away if I make both methods public or internal but in this situation I would like to have one of each. Is this possible? I thought I had done this in the past without any problems but maybe not.
I'm using to bitmapFill to add tile grid to a movieclip which contains an image and it's adding a white fill in the transparency parts of the movieclip even if I set the transparency true, here's the code snippet I'm using.
ActionScript Code: var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite(); var myBitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2, 2, true);[code]......
A friend was asked to create a calculator which adds several variables together and produces an output which has other pre-determined variables added or subtracted...[code]The problem now is that the people that asked for it forgot to say they needed a further calculation which between us we just can't work out! Basically, if net_estate is under 285000, then tax_liability is to be 0. but if it's over 285000 then tax_liability = 40 / 100 * net_estate (as in the above code).
I can find my way in Actionscript 2.0, but 3.0's hell for me. I've been following a bunch of tutorials and I suppose I understand the 'basics', although I'm beating myself over this 'cause most of you will probably consider this basic aswell.
The problem at hand : I made a few movieclips, that have a transparant button on the first frame inside of them, and on layers below it an animation that starts once you click it, then stops at the last frame.
(Example : You see a snail, you click it(but really click the transparant button that's above it) and the movieclip starts playing, showing a snail that crawls back inside it's shell, then it stops. Pretty simple, but it's a fun and easy way to have multiple interactive graphics on a page.)
The task at hand : Somehow make a score system that allows you to see how many of them you've clicked, meaning everytime you click a snail (for this example, anyway) there's a +1 function somewhere.
Currently, inside the movieclip (the transparant button) I have :
stop(); alpha_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextClick); function nextClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(2); }
Which is pretty straight forward. alpha_btn is the button that makes the animation inside the movieclip play. At frame 30, there's a stop(); function.Then, there's the main timeline.
function scorePoints(myPoints:Number):void { if (Number(scoreBoard.text)) { scoreBoard.text = String(myPoints);
[code]...
It works, but only once. After the snail is clicked, I have it looped (no stop(); at the end of the moveclip, but it moves to the first frame again. Meaning, the button's there again and it's clickable again.) but everytime I click it after that, there's no points added to it.So I'll break it down to this : I need simple button that, when clicked, adds a number of points to the scoreBoard.
I am trying to create a pause button that will pause everything on the screen including movieclips/audio. Right now I can't figure out how to pause the movieclips.
I have a flash that I took out of a template to customize. (I'm using CS4). Same size, hell mostly the same file with small changes. None of the changes were to the file height or width.I have looked all over the code, checked all my spacing/padding/etc, and went line by line through the code and it's identical...I preview it in IE and it's fine. Everything matches. I preview it in FF, and there is about a 10-15px gap b/t the header and the body. I am at the end of my rope! The rest of the site is just about ready to go live, and I can't do that until I figure this out.
I'm wondering if there is a better way to approach this than my current solution...
I have a list of items, I then retrieve another list of items. I need to compare the two lists and come up with a list of items that are existing (for update), a list that are not existing in the new list (for removal) and a list of items that are not existing in the old list (for adding).
Here is what I'm doing now - basically creating a lookup object for testing if an item exists.
