ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicate A MovieClip?
Mar 25, 2009
I 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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

Ive 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?

I'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?

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?

Anyway, I want to duplicate a movieclip several times and then give them a motion guide(is this possible?). I can do the attaching part, im just stuck with actually making it move
If not how would you go about duplicating something and then setting it off in motion? I would just keep changing there x/y cords but its not a straight path
With this I would also need to start the duplicated clip a bit behind the previous movieclip so that it looks like one is following the other.

I have this script on a button:
Code:
on (release) {
kast0.duplicateMovieClip("kast"+(num+1), 0);
this["kast"+(num+1)]._x = kast0._x+((num+1)*15);
this["kast"+(num+1)]._y = kast0._y;
num++;
}
And this in frame one:
num = 0;
"kast0" is a MC, that I want to duplicate (with every click), so there would be many of those in a row. But that script "erases" the "kast1" if it creates "kast2" currently I have my fla with only one frame and there is no other actions.

I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?
What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?
