ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Movie Clip From A Class

Jul 19, 2011

Why won't my movieclip show? I am not getting any error messages and have used to trace to make sure there are no problems but the movie clip still doesn't show.Class A calls a function in Class B.This function creates a movieclip with a basic graphic just for testing.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete A Variable Containing A Movie Clip Class And Recreate It With A Different Movie Clip Class?

Jul 1, 2009

In my project are pages of text with each word having a button that when pressed will display a movieclip presentation about that word (its pronounciation and spelling etc..). In the project I am working on now I have over 450 unique presentations of words to deal with. I don't want to have all of these hundreds of movie clips on the stage and tell them one at a time to stop and rewind and then have one play each time a word button is pressed. That seems to be very inefficient to me.

add movieclips to the stage using addChild(movieclipname) and remove them using removeChild(movieclipname) but there is a problem. I have hundreds of unique movieclips and I don't want to have to manage hundreds of variables containing the indivudual movieclip instancess. It is a real pain having to figure out what instance is still on the stage before i delete it.In Adobe Director all I have to do is this:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Movie Clip While Loading Xml?

Nov 16, 2009

I want to display MovieClip "Loading" while loading an XML File, but something went wrong and MovieClip is displayed on the screen after the XML is loaded.the main idea is:when the Test object is added to the stage I call loadQuestions function

ActionScript Code:
private function onAddedToStage(event:Event):void
{
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
loadQuestions();
}

it should display movie clip "loading" and load xml:

ActionScript Code:
public function loadQuestions()
{

[code]...

This code doesn't work as it should, because while xml is being loaded there is no MovieClip on the screen(it appears after to load is completed) [URL]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying A Variable In A Movie Clip?

Jan 21, 2010

I've been animating with flash for a while but I've recently wanted to get into game programing. I've learned a lot in the past month and I'm trying to create a fairly simple point and click adventure game with some basic stats and scoring. I'm facing a somewhat simple problem and I'm not sure how to get it to work in AS 3.0.

At the beginning of the flash I've established my variables to keep score while exploring the game.

var Health:Number = 1000;
var Day:Number = 1;
var EXP:Number = 0;
var Money:Number = 1000;

What I'm trying to do though is set up a movie clip with menu options that, when clicked, brings up a screen that displays those stats as well as a couple extra menu options. What I can't figure out to do is how do I display those variable inside the movie clip.

When I create a dynamic text field and place "info_day.text = String(Day);" i get an error unless I create a variable within that movie clip. And when I do that the variables in the movie clip are not affected by the chances of the variables in the main flash.

how do I have the variable in the movie clip to accurately display the variables established in the main part of the flash?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Displaying A Movie Clip At Mouse Position?

Flex - Displaying Multiple Copies Of Same External Movie Clip?

Aug 29, 2011

It's easy to share bitmap data between multiple Images: // target and source are instances of the mx.controls.Image class var content_copy:Bitmap = new Bitmap((source.content as Bitmap).bitmapData);target.load(content_copy);

But how to do the same thing for movie clips with vector grapics? The only way I've found is to load movie clip using byte data of another movie clip as the source.

target.load(source.content.loaderInfo.bytes); But it actually duplicates the content.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Displaying Input Inside Movie Clip

Aug 22, 2011

I'm updating a game in a Flash, using Actionscript 2 (what it was originally built in). It's a quiz game with different categories. At the end of each test is a results page showing their score for each of all the categories; each score being saved and displayed each time it's brought up. I need to have a print button added to this page, which I was able to do with

Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
print(drawingArea, "bframe")
}

And labeling the frame of what I want to print #p. This works, but the drawback is, I can do that on each results page frame for each category; the error that results from multiple frames labeled the same thing, 'causes the dynamic text fields displaying the score to go blank when the print button is clicked. Even if it didn't, it would still print all of the frames with that label, printing multiple copies of the same results screen. Initially I planned to tie all the quizzes to a single results page; one results page, one results frame, only one frame with the #p label, and is the only thing printed.

The problem there is, I need to be able to have a back button that goes back to a point in the category the user just finished; so they can take the test again if they want, or take another part of the test in that category. So my idea was to put all of the dynamic text fields and the print button, inside a movie clip. All the text boxes have maintained their names and have embedding enabled. All of the actionscript, on any level of that frame, has been placed accordingly into the movie clip - and yet the dynamic text boxes will not populate with the score like they do outside the movie clip.

Worst still, the print button wont work at all inside the movie clip. Clearly I'm missing something, but I can't be that far off base in thinking this would work, am I? If I can make the movie clip show the results and work the print button, then I can use instances of the movie clip in as many frames as I need, but the only place the script or label for the print button will exist, is inside the movie clip. This is the script for the button putting the data into the text fields.

Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("resultsGK"){
warningMsg2 = clear ();
if (saveRecordName_var == "" | saveRecordName_var == undefined){
warningMsg2 = "Name doesn't exist,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling A Movie Clip From A Class

I want to create a class that control the MC instances, (lets call that controlClass) the controlClass will have function to change the frames of the MC instance and some other stuff. last thing I tried is that you give the constructor of the controlClass the instance name of the MC and tried to do that for example: stage. + MCInstanceName + . gotoAndPlay(2); that's what I'm trying to accomplish, at least.

Using Tween Class To Animate A Movie Clip?

Rather than use tweens in the timeline to adjust the x/y coordinates, height/width, and alpha of my MC, I'd like to use actionscript to accomplish this.My research so far has got me to import the transitions and easing,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Events From One Movie Clip To Another Class?

Nov 5, 2010

There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it.
 
[URL]
 
Click on "Flash Banners"
 
The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
 
The problem is this: - I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing.

DocumentMain.as - the class file for pacman.fla, this file will instantiate the Pac.as class and tell it everything it has to do to the movie clip (created in the Pac.as file) on the stage.Pac.as - this is the class that creates the "pacman" movie clip, controls it via input from DocumentMain. as, and shows it on the pacman.fla stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Edit A Movie Clip Class In Library?

Jul 2, 2011

First off I downloaded the picture and bitmaps for my movie clip class online and it is now part of my library as type movie clip. Then from the library I was allowed to drag it into the stage then name an instance that I could use in my as3 code. This movie clip has some animation, so when the flash is running, the graphic would be "walking" the whole time for example. This class is called "Player"

Then I realized I wanted to encapsulate more of the code in as3, and to do that I wanted to add some methods and variables to this Player class.

I right-clicked the graphic in my stage and I found "edit class". It then brings up a completely empty class definition, strangely named "script1", not even properly named as the class itself.

When I edited it and named it properly and re-compiled, it looks like I basically just re-did a brand new class from scratch as my graphics were completely gone.

At the very least I would expect the Player class to have some linking or loading of my graphic, the starting x/y coordinates (according to how I drag it on the stage), etc.

Why does it bring up a blank class document when I right-click my player? Shouldn't it bring up the code that makes "player" work as I see in the flash? How am i supposed to "append" methods to the already existing class.
