How can I create uniqe instances names in AS3 when my objects are dynamically created in a for loop? In AS3 I have to strickly declare variables and objects. Therefore I run into problems when I try to use the loop variable "i" like before when creating their names.
View 5 RepliesI need to get a loop to display all the numbers in a certain range. This range is input by the user with a starting number and an end number. For some reason when i put the code in all its giving me is the end number and not the numbers between the start and end. I was wondering if someone could show me what to tweak to fix it. This is the code so far...

View 1 RepliesI got a MovieClip which will be a moving platform for a game. And I want to be able to just copy it and place in different places on my game map. But I would also like to give them different values such as, speed, distance to travel, and so on. In As2 I would put all code i needed for the moving platform to work, inside the MoviClip in it's first frame except for the variables, speed and distance which I would put on the MovieClip instead. In a "onClipEvent(load)". Then I could just copy my MovieClip and change those variables. But this do not work in As3 and I wounder if someone knows a good way to do this

I'm builiding a swf that will play on an html web page. It's a "build" where the page starts as blank and the animation "wipes" on in sections. The web page has a gradient background, and the swf will have a soft drop shadow.Is there a way to give the swf a transparent background so we don't have to try to "match" the gradient it will appear on top of.If this isn't clear I can post the swf or fla file.Also, on this subject, what are the "Window" settings in the html publish settings? The options are Window, Transparent Windowless or Opaque Windowless.I've tried these in the past and they don't seem to have any affect at all.
View 1 RepliesI have 100+ of the same movieclips on the stage at the same time, all positioned differently.i'm getting really tired of clicking on one of them, then clicking in the instance name box then typing "i65", then clicking on one of them, then clicking in the instance name box then typing "i66"...
is there anyway flash can fill this information in for you? or a plugin anyone's heard of? this isn't really an actionscript question, I'm not so fussed about selecting the different movieclips based on getChildAt or any of that stuff, I'd just really like a faster way of assigning instance names.
I have a few long pieces of music (10 minutes plus) and was wondering if there is any actionscript 2.0 command I can give to basically say either after X.mp3 ends do Y timeline control or even if there is a way to enter in a time so after X minutes do Y timeline control.

View 2 Repliesis it possible to give specific x and y coordinates to a BitmapData?
you can give the width and height, but no x or y... I dont want it to start at (0,0)
ActionScript Code:
var bmd : BitmapData = new BitmapData( m_mask.width, m_mask.height, true, 0xFFFFFFFF );
I have an MC (button1). When it is pressed, it creates a duplicate, which is automatically being dragged. When released, the movie clip stops dragging. I can repeat this process with the original a number of times. However, I want to be able to click and drag the MC's AFTER they've been duplicated. Once I have this code, then I can add other functions myself (like hitTests, removeMovieClip and so on).

View 4 RepliesI am currently building a site with AS3 and have run into a small problem. I Have my Main swf which is the site. Inside that I have a "gallery" which is full of buttons. I have it set up so when you click a button to view a image it loads a separate smaller swf on top of the main swf. What I would like to do is be able to have the smaller swf open in the middle of the main swf and be able to drag it around. How would I go about controlling a swf inside a swf?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to use XML to put external pictures into a MovieClip. (BTW, all movieclips already exist on stage, given the name instanceName#, where #=something from 0-49)
The first chunk of code here is what I'm working on. There's a section surrounded by slashes, and that's my problem area. what I should put in the parens after "new Array"? (right now it's numOfItems, but I'm pretty sure that won't do anything.)
I need the array to generate the instance names of "a number" of movieclips, so that if I have 3 nodes in the XML it'll generate (instanceName0, instanceName1, instanceName2... etc) and if I have 4, it'll make 0-3, so on.

Is it possible to give a variable to the _xscale of a given MC.? i wonder because I ran into a problem with this example:
I have a MC, that i want to be able to modify the xscale by an input box and button. basically the user inputs a value, presses the button, and the _xscale of the MC chages to what they put in the input box. so my MC is named graph. the input box has a var of xsize. the button works fine if I use on release graph._xscale = xsize
but when I try to give graph._xscale a variable like MCsize
on release
MCsize = xsize
that doesn't work.
is it my syntax or just that I can't give a property of a MC a variable name?
