ActionScript 3.0 :: Taking Movieclip From Library And Giving It An Instance Name Through Code?
Oct 4, 2011I am making a game where I reference "Player_mc" quite a lot.

Sep 15, 2010If an object, or say... a document class, creates an instance of a class (and stores it as a variable), and it doesn't pass any arguments to the constructor of the class, can that class object, by simply having a function of it called by the parent, tell who sent it that command/request?
In other words, can a class object know who called it (such as it's parent) via a (seemingly) anonymous call?

Create An Instance From A Library Object?
Jun 17, 2009I have a graphic or movie clip as an example which is a water bottle. An what I wanna do is that depending on what is the user response, in my case is how long the person is doing some activity, depending on that I want flash to generate a number of graphics/movie clips on the screen. As example the person says that takes 6 minutes doing "x" activity, so as a response of a button click which says "generate consumption", it generates on the screen how many water bottles he has consumed for that range of time doing that activity, for example each minute is 2 water bottles, so it has to generate 12 water bottles on the screen when the user press "generate consumption".
View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Instance Name When Adding From Library?
Nov 11, 2010When addressing nested movieclips like so: _root.movieclip.movieclip.variable they need to have an instance name set, otherwise they count as undefined. So I can set that in the properties no problem, but when deleting it from the stage and then readding (manually or by actionscript) the instance name is gone thus I can not address nested clips by action script.
I don't understand how this will work then, since every time I add a clip by code it will have no instance name. The only alternative for me so far was keeping the clip on the stage the whole time, just out of bounds or invisible so I can still do stuff like _root.movieclip.movieclip.variable or _root.movieclip.movieclip.gotoAndStop(2).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Placing A Instance From The Library And Parameters?

Flash CS4 :: Library Path, New Instance Shown Without Graphics
May 24, 2011in Flash CS4 I created two FLA file.
In the First File:
- I draw a shape;
- I convert it to a MovieClip;
- I link a MyClip class with a simple trace in the constructor;
- I export the whole file as MyClip.SWC;
In the Second File:
- I go to Edit > Preferences > ActionScript > ActionScript 3 settings and I add
-in the Library Path- the file MyClip.SWC;
- on the first frame of this swf I write var myClip:MyClip = new MyClip(); addChild(myClip);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I compile (export swf) the class gets loaded (I see the trace in the output window) BUT I can't see the graphics associated to MyClip. It seems MyClip.SWC only contains the code of that clip.

Dec 1, 2010I'm making a project that is based almost entirely on code and I'm using classes. And everything was working fine until I came to a situation where I needed to make text field inside flash and not with code. I made a text field put some text inside, converted to a MovieClip, set the "export for actionscript" linkage in the library and deleted the movieClip from the stage.
Then went to my document class and wrote this code:
ActionScript Code:
var txt:text1 = new text1();
addChild(txt);
txt.x = 20;
txt.y = 20;
And I get this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Weird. I don't understand this problem. I then put this as3 code into the first frame and disabled the document class. And the text appeared normally on the stage.
What is even more weird. I get the same error even if I delete this code. In other words, I get this error just by having this text object inside my library.
So what do I do wrong? Why can't I use this command in my class? And what is happening this just by having this object inside my library?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Parameters Instance And Library Item In Function?
Mar 4, 2009Basically looking for a way to get the instance created when I use this function I've made, it seems to me "libItem" will be a new instance and I would like to re-assign that back to the item passed into the function so I can access the instance later.
Here is the function I created to create library on the stage...
Code:
function objectPlacer( libItem, instance:Class ):void {
libItem = new instance( );
addChild( libItem );
}
So here is how I call the function
Code:
// Function( var name, library item class name, pos x, pos y )
objectPlacer( i_ranks, txt_Ranking );
My problem is, I try to access "i_ranks" later with the following code...
Code:
i_ranks.x = 100;
And I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
"i_ranks" is defined as a class member.
Also, if you know - what should types should I be assigning the parameters instance and libItem in the function?

Aug 15, 2009Im trying to create an inventory where when you click an object it will automaticly go into your inventory, the inventory is embedded in other movieclips.I have quite a few spaces(movieclips) in the inventory box when it is open but I just need it so when you click an object it attaches to a movieclip in the inventory.I also need it so that if you click a different item it attaches to the next space in the inventory rather than overlapping an item you have clicked before. I would only have only about 15 (or something similar) spaces so if I have clicked 16 items the 16th item cannot go into the inventory.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Reference To A Movieclip Instance That Is In Another Movieclip?
Jul 17, 2011I am trying to make a reference to a movieclip instance that is in another movieclip.
Here's the deal: I have a main timeline for different pages of a website...then within that I make all of the art on each page into a movieclip so I can do animations every time that main timeline frame is called to, yet still keep my main timeline clean.
Within one page's movieclip I have a few buttons that I want to use to go to other pages by referencing them on the main timeline.I have been using this: (home_about is the about us button on my home page, and frame 31 is on the main timeline).
home_about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6(event:MouseEvent) :void
{[code].............
Since this home_about is within another movieclip,I get the access of undefined property error. Do I need to change the code I've pasted above or add in variable definitions to fix this?
CS3 Play (reference) MovieClip Instance From Within MovieClip
May 20, 2009I am trying to create an interactive graphic. Basically, it's three squares layered on top of each other, with a large square in back, a medium square centered in the middle of the large square, and a small square in front centered in the middle of the medium square.
When you roll over the medium square, say, it expands to almost the size of the large square and some text fades in, and the small square on top of it fades away. When you roll off of the medium square, it goes back to it's smaller size, and the small square fades back in.
Currently, I have the actionscript in the movieclip to make the medium square get larger and smaller (and the text fade in), but I need to somehow reference the instance of the small square movieclip to hide it when I roll over the medium movieclip.
My actionscript for the medium square activity, currently:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[Code]....
how to have this rolling over action get rid of the small square and then bring it back on roll out.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects - XML - Creating A New Instance Of An Object That Uses An Identical Name To An Older Instance Delete The Previous Instance?
Mar 20, 2009Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?
