Throughout different times in my app I have to load, and then later on delete, a series of movieclips from the library.They all have the prefix "mc_".[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to load one out of 18 different instances from my library (exported as mc1-mc18). In AS2 this was simple! I fetched the variable (whC) that contained the name of the movieclip to be loaded and just put it into attachMovie
AS2:
Code:
_loc.attachMovie(whC,"clip"+k,this.getNextHighestDepth());
In AS3 do I have to use this long if/else statement to make it work the same?
Code:
public function fetchTile(whC:String):MovieClip {
if (whC=="mc1") {
fetched= new mc1();

I have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?

View 1 Replieshow do I load library objects by string list using Flash and AS3? I need to understand string lists, arrays, and sprites better.
WHAT I WANT TO DO Load enemies to stage using a string list "Orange ball, red ball, green ball etc"
EXPLANATION The tutorials I've been given are too basic, or they are incomplete examples that don't explain the classes being used.

I'm trying to load images from the library not externally, i know how to load externally but the thing is i need these images to be instantaneous when browsing, so i cannot load them externally.[code]...
View 1 RepliesTrying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object
[code]....
So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.
I have several swf movie files that load into levels within my folio, these levels being 2,3 and 4. I have a ball within the root file located currently in the library with an identifier name of "ball" that i want to dynamically load to level 5 and have the following script appied to it...

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
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 making a Thumbnail class which is part of my Photo Gallery Package that I am building with the intent of automatically generating my thumbnails. I do not want to limit myself to just AS3 animations, I would also like the ability to use timeline animations. I have a system using "in" and "out" for frame labels which I find very efficient and I get stuff done quickly. So I created the thumbnails holder MovieClip with the animations and have it linked in my Library, however, when I try to pass it to my Thumbnail Class, I only get one instance and I need to create several instances.
Document Class
ActionScript Code:
var thumbCont:mcThumb = new mcThumb();
thumbNails = new Thumbnails(thumbCont);
Thumbnails Class
ActionScript Code:
var thumbContainer:MovieClip;
public function Thumbnails(thumbCont:MovieClip,) {
thumbContainer = thumbCont;
}private function createThumbs():void {
for (var i:int = 0; i < aThumbs.length; i++) {
[Code] .....
I eliminated most of the additional stuff. What this does is that it doesn't create several thumbContainers, rather it just uses the one. So how would I be able to generate several of them? I can obviously create an Array with them and create them in my document class, but if I can avoid that and have my thumbnail class do it by itself, that would be perfect.
point me to anything which will help me dynamically attach movieclips from the library into one main movieclip, which then I can duplicate it many times..You see, what happens with duplicateMovieClip,is that it duplicates the main movieclip itself, without taking its contents..I want to take the contents too. The only way I can imagine this could work, was if I could take a 'snapshot' of the movieclip and keep it as a bitmap, from which this could be duplicated - because I dont need the movieclip and its contents to contain code or have any animation playing. I just want it as an image, so I can create a pattern from..

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to load a movieclip into a "movieclipholder" in the Flash project. I don't want any external SWF's, everything is put together in the same project. And that's where my problem starts. I have got no idea how to load one movieclip from the library into another movieclip. Is it possible? I feel it should be.
View 5 RepliesActually what I want is that I need to load a movieClip from the library and symultaneously it should have 45 degree rotation before loading to screen.But when I tried to do the same, it was rotating after the load event.I used the following code:
_root.attachMovie("boxMC", "p1",_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:23,_y:107 });
_root.p1.rotateTo(-10,0, "easeinoutsine");
My intension is that before load to screen the MovieClip should have rotation instead rotating after load event. But according my code we get to feel like it is rotation after load event.Anyone one can you make it rotate before loading to screen.
What I need: A movieClip should have roate to 45 degree before loading it to screen.

I'm developing a flash lite app in as 2.0. loading a movieclip on to the stage from the library. The name of the mc is Objects and I have exported it for actionscript in the linkage. I learnt as 3.0 initially. That is why finding difficult in going to as 2.0

I have a class in which I create multiple thumbnails in a for cycle. In the library I have a movieclip for the thumbnails (ThumbnailContainer). This movieclip contains another movieclip (imageContainer) with a mask and a container where the image should load (image). So in AS2 it would be ThumbnailContainerInstance.imageContainer.image. How can I load an image into "image" movieclip? The thumbnail class looks like this:
ActionScript Code:

0i am looking for something easy enough, but i can't find the right way it seems mission: when a button is pressed i want to load a mc (no swf) from my library, play that and when it's done playing(the mc) it deletes. purpose: i just want to make somekind of "flash" "blink" when a button is pressed. when another button is pressed the "blink" loads again. i tried it with the my_mc. _visible = true/false code. but it just doesn't work out.
