ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Adding Movieclips To The Stage?
Oct 20, 2009
I am trying to write some code for someone show wants to be able to control their timeline animation by using the slider component. Everything was going fine until I tried to add the Play and Pause buttons to the stage. I instantiated both movieclips and added "stage.addChild(<mcName>);" but neither clip showsup when I test the movie. I tried removing "stage." but that didn't help either.
I tried to find a solution to my problem online, and while I haven't figured it out yet, it seems that these movieclips might need to be part of a function. This could be totally incorrect, but it's the best guess I have right now.
My AS code is below. (I couldn't get the .FLA file to zip small enough, but if anyone wants it, I'll find a way.) See comment "// PLAY/PAUSE CODE" for Play/Pause buttons.
Code:
//SLIDER CODE
// Import slider and movieclip classes
import fl.controls.Slider;
[Code].....

I am reading in collection objects from an XML file. Each collection has an img field that stores a URL to the collection image. So I am trying to load the images of each collection, storing each image in a MovieClip, and add these MovieClips to the stage. However, my problem is that after adding a MovieClip (with the collection image) to the stage, when a new MovieClip is created in my 'for each' loop it overrites the previous MovieClip. So the images I am adding to the stage are being replaced by the following collection's image on each loop iteration. What can I do to avoid this?

ok. so here's the thing..i have a class from where i created an array with the time, name, and position of each movieclip data.. and wanted it to go through each one and execute at a certain time.. So i tried something like this:
[Code]...
the first part works well.. but its when i try and add it to the stage that i get confused.. i tried something but i think its wrong.. can anyone help me? Basicly i want flash to get the array.. use index 1 for the name.. index 2 for the x position and index 3 for the y position.. but all this name referencing in as3 really confuses me.

The correct code to constrain movie clips to a container movie clip (or sprite or whatever) in the fashion I was looking for is this:
var picContainer:PicContainer = new PicContainer();
picContainer.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - picContainer.width / 2;
picContainer.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - picContainer.height / 2;
addChild(picContainer);
var totalPics:int = 17;
var pic:Pic = new Pic(); //make an instance just to get its width

I've got a long list of similar movieclips I'm adding to the stage. There's 9 in total and the code looks like this...
stage.addChild(zone0_mc);
zone0_mc.x=267.6;
zone0_mc.y=120.5;

I'm currently reading the book Learning Actionscript 3.0 and I cannot figure how this was done. In chapter 6, there is an example of Ingeritace, Encapsulation etc. where there is a class called Vehicle and from that class a few more classes were created Car, Truck etc. and everything make sense but there is something I don't know understand, there are two MovieClips that are added to the stage at run time and I can't figure out how those clips were added to the stage, I tried doing my own version and I tried exporting these MovieClips checking the Export for actionscript option under propeties but it doesn't work.

I've created a drop down list and populated it with dynamic buttons. (I made a DropDown_btn class with a dynamic text field in it and then filled the button text from an xml file). On rollover I tint the button blue and then set the tint back to black on rollout. When you click on the button I'd like it to stay blue until a different button is clicked.
I thought on CLICK I'd run a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
function removeRollover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.transform.colorTransform=c;
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
}
...and then I need to addEventListeners back to any button that doesn't have them and set that button back to black. I could do this by looping through an array of the buttons but I can't figure out how to access them as objects.
I also gave them each a property of "buttonValue" when I loaded them so I can access event.currentTarget.buttonValue (which in this case is a number from 1-5) but once again I can't figure out how I might leverage this information.

I have problems adding different movieclips to stage with the new MovieClip() command,
See EX.1>>
Here is what I have come up with:
var shape:Array = [new Shape1(), new Shape2(), new Shape3(), new Shape4()];
for(var i:int=0; i<shape.length; i++)
{[code]....
What if I need to add more than 4? It seems a bit troublesome to write the full numbers of movieclips in the array.
var shape:Array = [new Shape1(), new Shape2(), new Shape3(), new Shape4()], new Shape1(), new Shape2(), new Shape3(), new Shape4() .......];
On another note, I have 4 menu item with different width, how can I space them out nicely along x-axis one after another dynamically?

I have an image (.jpg file) in the library and I want to instantiate it dynamically through timeline code and then add it to stage. But I do not want to drag it and drop it from the library to stage, I want to keep it in the library and add it to stage through code only... how can I do that?

I think removeChild() is the most confusing thing in my life at the moment when it really shouldnt be. I'm dynamically adding a set of mc's on the stage, im tweening them from alpha 0 to 1 with tweenlite, I then have a button to remove the items in reverse, but for some reason I can seem to get my head around tweening them back to alpha 0 in reverse order. I can remove them from the stage with removeChildAt(0), but I would like the animation. Any one have any solutions for this. I have attached the code and a test file =]

Im trying to dynamically add several of the same movieclips to the stage. This movie clip contains a textbox. I have tried the following:-[code]I have my movieclip exported fror actionscript with the identifier as (textbox). This code does add a textbox to the stage however it only adds the second one which says "goodbye" but not the first one which should say "hello"? I thought the loop should go round twice and add a 'newText1' and a 'newText2'??

I am trying to add children to a dynamically added swf file, using AS3, before I add it to stage
Here is the code I have thus far,
AS3:
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(glo.bal.base_url+"videos/vid_1.swf");
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler_one);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
[Code].....
Inside the vid_1 swf there is a movie clip called box_one, I would like to append a image to box_one, and only have the swf added to stage after the image file has been added to box_one.

Just wondering, is there any way to dynamically reference movieclips on the stage, as in through a for loop like so:

["mc" + i].x = 10;

What is the memory accumulated by this code ? Any flash util's keyword i may use ?

How to add random movie clip to stage from many different movie clips in library? If I wanted to add one movie clip to stage I would do liko so:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
function onMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip = new Ball();
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
addChild(mc);
}
Code above works perfect but I tried following but with no success, no errors, but nothing happens - no mc's are added to stage. I have 6 movie clips in library and they all are linked, exported for actionscript. On MouseOver I want to add random movie clip from those six movie clips to the stage.
Code:
var myArray:Array = [mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onLoop);
function onLoop(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i< myArray.length; i++) {
var randomMc:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[randomMc];
addChild(mc);
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
}}

I am trying to add multiple different versions of the same button to the stage and to be able to access them later on by assigning them an ID. The way I assumed this would be done is to have a class for the button where an internal static variable is defined so that the ID can be found in the next function. This does not seem to be working, as the ID is constantly showing as the last number given, so in this case 6.I assume that I am doing this wrong? Here is my code so you can better understand:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

Code:
function AddYCoins():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var Ycoin:YCoin = new YCoin();
[Code]...
This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!

I had to create dynamic with AS some rectangular on stage using moveTO and lineTo. I had a button and when I press it should add a new rectangle on stage but it doesn't. Because the array that I am storing the MovieClip created are overriding I guess
var i:Number =0;
button_name.onRelease = function() {
i++;
var instancename:String ="new_mc"+i;
var mcClip:MovieClip=createEmptyMovieClipinstancename,this.getNextHighestDepth);

I am dynamically loading and removing movieclips from the stage.I am using this to remove them
ActionScript Code:
var n:int = rootElement.numChildren;
while (n--){
delete(rootElement.removeChildAt(n));
}
The movieclip does remove itself from the stage, yet I can still hear the audio continuing to be played by that movieclip. The audio in the movieclip was not being removed while playing. It is audio that is initiated later in the movieclip. I'm not sure if the delete is overkill, or not.

currently working on my first AS 3 project. The transition from AS 2 to AS 3 has been tough but rewarding. However, still fiddling with dynamically created objects though (using a database for my site-content). Here's my problem: If I dynamically create a MovieClip I can no longer access the main stage. Since I'm using a mousedrag interaction I need a global MouseUp Listener. If I try to access 'stage' or 'root' or 'parent' from within the dynamically created MovieClip the result is always 'null' instead of what's really there. Is there an easy way to access the main stage from within the created object?
