I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.
I try to get acces a property by click on a dynamic created Moviclip.
function finishLoading(evt : Event):void {
// Handle XML Settings
XML.ignoreComments=true;

Is it possible to attach some script to a dynamically created movie Clip?

Everthing works fine. But it is shaking so that it was not looking good.How do I achieve smooth movement?
I tried to search but 99% of the posts I saw were referring to manually created dynamic text boxes instead of.. algorythmically generated text for lack of better phrasing.
I'm trying to make an AS3 .swf that would display a small array of letters that have been created with TextField's, and not with dynamic text's being dragged onto the stage since there's going to be more than 100 of them. I've tried setting the textfield's .embedded to true, changing the fonts, making sure the text and backgrounds are different colors.. nothing.
In my .fla I have nothing for the document class under properties. In frame 1 there is one keyframe with three lines of code below and I've tried it with stop() and without. The class file is in the same folder and is MyArray.as This should be really easy but it's driving me insane.
MyArray.fla :
Code:
//stop();
import MyArray;
var test:MyArray = new MyArray();

I want to detect and then duplicate the functions that the flash IDE uses to wrap timeline actionscript. The "frame1", "frame2", "frameX", etc. functions that are the result of the MovieClip.addFrameScript the IDE uses.I provided a sample file that has a timeline object and an object created by some frame actionscript.I add an EXIT_FRAME listener to those objects and try to detect those functions.I can validate the objects are of the type "boxAnima"...as I expect.They should have this public function...public function frame10 () : *;I know the functions must be present since they effect the animation (boxes don't move right, only scale up&down)I can null out those functions by calling addFrameScript(x, null); and my timeline animation is effected(they move right after they scale)comment next line in fla to recreate nulling//box.addFrameScript(loop-1, null);But, I cant sense the functions existence by evaluating (functionName in boxAnima) nor boxAnima[functionName])... even if I eval at the same time I can effectively nullwhats odd, is if I decompile(using FlashDevelop to view classes in swf) the swfs I can see the class definition that shows my boxAnima extends MovieClip and has.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to find the way to attach the same actionscript to multiple buttons(over 100 buttons) at one time, instead of copying and pasting the actionscript in every frame. I have over 100 buttons as a seperate object in the library. In timeline, there are 100 keyframe, that each frame contains one button. Each instance is from one button. I don't want to write a same actionscript in for every button object. Is there anyway to get around that?

View 2 RepliesSay I have a symbol MyButton, as a button with the 4 special frames. When you mouse-over/mouse-out an instance, I'd like another object to be affected... text in some text box changing, or the item becoming visible, or similar. I know AS3 but I'm a real noob at CS3. I don't really get how actions work in CS3.
View 5 RepliesI've attached a sound to menu buttons using AS. The sound worked perfectly until I created a external preloader file to load the swf into a container_mc. Now no button sound? If I load the swf without the preloader file the sound works?
Code: Select all//set up sound instance
var btnGrpAudio:Sound = new Sound(mcSoundHolder);
btnGrpAudio.attachSound("beaming");
btnGrpAudio.setVolume(60);
menus[i].btn.onPress = function() {
btnGrpAudio.start(); ....
I am trying to build a menu. I have created few texts and converted into buttons, which goto some url on click. Now, I have to add "fire burning" animation to these texts on mouseover. I have a movie clip of burning fire. I want to reuse the same movie clip. Also, when the animation plays, I want text to be visible on top of flames.
Can I reuse one mc or should I create multiple clips (or instances)? How to bring the text to foreground? Guidelines and if possible,

View 1 RepliesI have started to create my buttons dynamically. When doing so, I would like to have a number for each, that I can use to then call other things, such as text from an array, images, etc. All my assets in this file are numbered. For example, the button that I am creating with the following for loop, will have a string from an array, and a jpg that will load when it is clicked.
This is how I am creating the buttons.
for(var i:Number = 0; i < thumbs; i++){
var ref:MovieClip = thumb_scroller.all_thumbs["thumb" + i];
ref.onRelease = function():Void {
clickAction();
}
};
For example, "thumb_scroller.all_thumbs.thumb5" will, when clicked, load a jpg, called 5.jpg and reference a string from an array, at the 5 place in that array. So, if I could somehow, send the number 5 as a parameter with the clickAction();, I could then do what I want. I had tried something like this clickAction(i); but it did now work, because i got updated until the for loop was done and so had the same value for all buttons created by it. How is this done? Is there a way to create dynamic variable that I can send as a parameter with the clickAction()?
I have lots of buttons on the stage but they all do the same thing, ie. CLICK & DOUBLE_CLICK.How can I group these functions so that if a button in a certain group is clicked then the functions of buttons in all other groups are disabled?
View 2 RepliesI am building a Flash site with a boombox animation. I have the below code I am using. I am using just two frames. First frame, is where I put the code in the actions layer, boombox is still. In the second frame, I placed my movie clips on layers (woofers vibrating & tape deck spins). No code in second frame. So, if you hit the play, previous or forward button a song goes on and the animation start. If you press the pause button, animations stop with music. I have created 2 functions per button.
2 questions: 1 - Is this the best way to do it? If I press the buttons quickly, sometimes a song gets stuck and I can't stop, forward, etc. I was wondering if this was the code?
2 - I am tweening in my pages using AS3 - not timeline. I have a music and video page (each a movieclip). Is there a way that once I tween in the new movie clip (non-music of vid page) that the music or video can shut off?

View 4 RepliesI have created a class that creates a button with a bitmap underneath, and dynamic embedded text on the top. The buttons upState has a drop shadow on it, the overState, changes the Text from a dark to a light color, and the down moves the buttons image and text by a couple of pixels down and across. All this works fine, however when I click on the button, I get a very quick flicker of my text field, which was not my intention. I am a complete newbie to Action Script, and can not find any solution to this unwanted flicker. My Class is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
package Classes {
import flash.display.SimpleButton;

I am trying to add action script 2.0 to a slider that i created using http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm that slides a movie clip that is a timeline from left to right. In the timeline are (i)More... buttons that will reveal more information. I just need to know how to integrate the timeline into the code using as2 to make it slide when the slider is dragged..
This is the action script that I have on the slider movie clip as stated in the above tutorial. But this is ALL the action script I have on EVERYTHING..... I know I need more to make it pan the timeline but I dont know how to do it.

I really could just use a good tutorial that shows me how to link the image that im sliding to the slider bar. When the slider is moved to the right... the image flows left.... toward the end of the timeline. When the slider is all the way right. The end of the timeline is shown. The timeline is bigger than the stage so the slider is on a line with years on it.
