I have a movieclip that when clicked returns a [object MovieClip]
function down(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(event.currentTarget); // returns [object MovieClip]
}
what I would like to do is create a dulplicate of this.
My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

View 5 RepliesIf I have an object that calls
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
will that add 2 listeners?
Is it possible to use duplicateMovieClip to copy a movieClip into another movieclip, or is it only possible to duplicate it inside one and the same containermovieclip?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get up to speed on AS3.
I am trying to dynamically create a number of click buttons based on the content of an XML file.
So I have a MC (window_mc) which contains a single button (more_details_btn). I add an event listener to send the user to a web page on click.
However. On some items I need more than 1 more_details_btn's. What is the best way to duplicate this MC and assign a new click event and different text.
Below is the code I am currently using and it is causing me all sorts of problems
Code:
for each(var detail:XML in productXML.details) {
var btn = new more_btn_cls();
btn.label_txt.text = detail.@name;
[code]...
Firstly, it wont assign btn.label.text - it says it "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" btn in this code traces as an object not a movieclip is that why?
The other problem is that window_mc.addChild(btn); does nothing, yet if I take away window_mc it does add the clips to the Stage. (I need them inside window_mc though)
I am planning to create Dynamic Boxes, in which may contain buttons, pictures and textboxes in the box. but I'd really want to know are
When a duplicated Movieclip was clicked, I want it to return a value so which I can know what Movieclip was clicked.
How do I manage them in one duplicated movieclip? for example, A duplicated box, and then in that box is an image, textbox and a button MOVIECLIPS, so when dragged, they can be dragged also.
how to create something like that? With all the subMCs that were attached dynamically, and variables and so on..

View 10 RepliesI was looking at a video tutorial, and in order to reference a MovieClip, the instructor used:
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
What is the difference between using that, and just using:
var mc:MovieClip = e.currentTarget;
Also, is there any way to easily duplicate a MovieClip? (or any class for that matter) There was a function somewhere back there, but that created a dynamic class. I want an exact replica of the class and all it's properties without manually changing over each and every value.
In my movieclips, I already have functions such as the following:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
currentlocx = this._x;
currentlocy = this._y;
differencex = newX - currentlocx;
differencey = newY- currentlocy;
[Code] .....
How would I add other functions such as duplicateMovieClip(my_mc, "new_mc", 5); to the code. Where would I add them? I've tried adding them under (enterFrame) but my movieclip does not duplicate after every "x" seconds. In addition to this, I would like my movieclip to "disappear" whenever it is clicked.
I'm working on a creating a button that will create (preferably unlimited) duplicates of one movie clip. I have something that works for Flash, pre-2004, but I'd like to update it to Actionscript 2.
Button:

i = i + 1;

Ok, I know layers dont exist once compiled and that duplicated movieclips cannot be duplicated to new levels but I need some kind of work around here.
I cannot use the library as the movieclip I am duplicating is dynamically generated by actionscript (a graph based on user input over time) and thus cannot be made by me beforehand as it varies.
I need to somehow make a duplicate of this on a layer above the where the original was made, anyone know how this is possible?
i have this script and i want to know how to duplicate the movieclips, one each other. This scrip works fine with images with same width, but when the sizes its diferent, dont work.

How can i duplicate an unlinkaged movieclip that is dragged from library to stage in as3 ?
i want to write an class that gets instancename of an unlinkaged movieclip(a movieclip that it is't exported to as3) and duplicate that to certain Counts?
In my scene I've got a movieclip. If I press left the same movieclip should be duplicated a distance left of the first movieclip. If I press right, one should appear to the right of the first movieclip. If I press left again another duplication of the movieclip should show up on the left of the copied one on the left...
View 4 RepliesIve seen this for loop to duplicate a movieclip.Its somethin.g i like to understand its square brackets. when are square brackets used instead of the circular brackets.
for(i=1; i<5;i++){
_root["face"].duplicateMovieClip("face"+i,i++,face)
}
and i woud also like to know. i understand the first part. i = zero if i less than 5 add one.until 5 is made. which is reffering to the maintimeline.
1. is this refering main movie clip to be duplicated? ["face"]
2.In the final round brackets ("face"+i,i++,face) not sure n some of the meaning.

I have a movie clip, that has various codes attached to it to snap to areas of the screen. If I apply the duplicate movie clip command to this, the second instance will have a new name right? so how can I change the code that addressed the original movie clip to relate to the new instance with the new name?
View 5 RepliesI'm using this code to duplicate a movieclip:
Code:
for (i=0;i<10;i++) {
_root.lane.duplicateMovieClip("lane"+i, i);
i++
}
Now, I want each duplicate to have their _x position 30 pixels away from each other.
Basically, they would all be in a row, I'm sure it's simple so how can I put them all in a row?

View 1 RepliesIm creating a portofolio for myself, and im trying to make it database dependent, so i can update it through mysql and php. Im loading my vars from a database called portofolio, where i want to load a title, description, id, and a url to an image. In my fla i have the following code:
Code:
//postition of the first thumbnail
var nextx:Number = 25;
var nexty:Number = 25;[code]....
i would like to have all the data from the DB imported using only one query, and then have it displayed in the thumbnail duplicates.
Ok having some issues with this:I create a new movieclip:this.createEmptyMovieClip("setClip1", this.getNextHighestDepth());and then I attach a bunch of the same movieclip from the library to my new clip:in a for loopthis.setClip1.attachMovie("dashLine","dashLine"+i, this.setClip1.getNextHighestDepth());This is all working fine. BUT, I try to duplicate this movieclip:_root.setClip1.duplicateMovieClip("setLeft1",thisgetNextHighestDepth());And it seems to work - I can trace the _x/_y values and such so it sees my new clip but nothing shows up. It's just blank.So my question I guess to start is this:When you useduplicateMovieClip, does it bring with it all of the attached movieclips as well or does it not include the attached clips as well?
