var section_arr:Array = ["home","abtus","contact"];

game.rows = 10;game.spacing = 10;this works ActionScript Code:attachMovie("cell","cell"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth);This doesnt soon as place the moveclip in the for loop. For some reason nothing appears on the stage.Its just to place th movieclips in line next to eatch other horizontal,, Im sure it not to far off. However i cant see my mistake.
ActionScript Code:
var rows = 10;
var spacing = 10;

im getting a bit stuck with trying to attach movieclips according to a randomized array (for a card game
tempx = 210;

all it seems to do is writeover every card with the next one so all im left with is the last card of the hand being shown
how to eliminate previos attach before move to next attach MC..let say as u can see in my code..I just settign the interval..for 2 second..in other to attach the mc on eby one...so how to set up the code so that if the 2nd mc has attach it'll remove the 1st one attach for certain time...and so on..the scenario like this..
mc1 attach
after 2 second
mc2 attach --> remove mc1
after 2 second

i'm trying to figure out how to reset or refresh clips that are dynamically attached to another clip based on records returned through xml.asically if the user chooses a different filter for the database query I need to be able to refresh a scrolling list made up of clips which will be different based on the filter.this is what I have for a function. I try to use "attachEmptyMovieClip" but to no avail

I would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI 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".
i'm trying to do an infinate loop for my m.clip.the looping part does not want to loop...it loops back to my firrst frame even though there are two same picture in the movie clip.....here's a sample of what i use for the infinate loop script..

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.
How do i word a for loop to make it loop through multiple arrays?I want 1 for loop to loop through multiple arrays in order to move/alter objects.I want to keep the arrays separate.

I'm trying to make a matching pairs game. First of all I'm making all the tiles, using a loop inside a loop. How do I get the ID of an item inside that loop? My code looks like follow:
Code:

makeTiles();
function makeTiles() {
[Code].....
dayVal = day.value;
for(dayVal = 1; dayVal/7 != 1; dayVal++)
{trace (dayVal);
}
the loop starts at 0 and not 1 so the loop ends at 6 does any one know how to resolve this issue?? its so that what ever number dayVal is it will be rounded up to a number that is Divisble by 7 .
Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function. Currently, it's set up to increment blank_mc._y by whatever value is returned by [j]. But for some reason this doesn't work. I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.

wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a pause within a 'for loop' before it runs through the next loop? heres the script i've built up so far, i'm running off other variables and arrays to pull in the logos and the animating in is working fine except that they all run in at the same time, basically what i want is that they would run one after the other with a 5 second gap between them..[code]so i did that and put wait(delay); after the var boxcounter=2; in each of the If statements.. but no luck... can anyone shed any light? or suggest a way it get it to hold for a few seconds before running though the loop again? or am i going about this in completely the wrong way??!
View 5 RepliesBasically I just want to attach a movie from the library into a movie clip on the stage.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there's a way to attach objects to one another. Basically, for a flash animation, I have a monkey swinging back and forth on a branch. The transformation point is set at his hand on the branch, while his arm swings back and forth like a pendulum. His body is at the bottom of this pendulum, and right now I have to reset the body as his arm swings.
How do I attach the body to the bottom of his arm to its own pivot point so that they're always attached to each other, but so that the body always is in the SAME POSITION (i.e., when you rotate the arm, it does not also rotate the body).
Is there a way to attach one movieclip to another, replace one with the other or put one inside the other without them having to be in the library?
