View 1 Repliesi am trying to create a basic game and am having a problem. I'm using swfmill and mtasc (but I doubt that has much impact) and am using ActionScript 2. At the moment I am attempting to add a load of tiles to a set and then move that set of tiles about the screen in one go. The problem I am having is that I can not figure out the best way of linking the set (which is created on the fly) to the _root movie and so it doesn't draw.
I could potentially be doing everything wrong as I have only just started to learn how to use this language. This is basically what I do:
I create a 'Main' class that extends MovieClip and add a new clip of this class to the library.
I also create a 'TileSet' class that also extends MovieClip. This class calls attachMovie (on 'this') to add a number of tile MovieClips from the library to this TileSet.
I create a 'TileSet' within 'Main' (like var myTileSet:TileSet=new TileSet();), so that the Main class can play with the tileset.
When running I see nothing. As I said befor I believe this is due to TileSet not being attached to Main or _root. As a test I changed the TileSet's attachMovie (that attaches the tiles) to be called on '_root' rather than 'this'. This change makes the tiles show when run, but means that I can not move all the tiles by simply moving the TileSet.
I think I could probably add the TileSet into the library and 'place' it (swfmill method to put the clip into the stage), but I would prefer to do it on the fly in pure ActionScript as I think this will be useful later on too.
Thats the first time i am using this forum so I'am a newbie. For first I must say that my english is the worst on earth. Therefore a you understood me.My problem is: made the Attach Movie Clip with XML Load and it wondered me, because it worked. But now I make Hover Captions inside the first Attach Movie Clip, also with an attach movie function, Now I have the problem how to get the data from the xml file into the 2. attach movie.for the 1. path (into the first attach movie) the code looks like this._root["neuesMC"+i].xmlPfad = xmlDatei[i].attributes.namen;
my Structure:
> xml Load
> read XML

I am attempting to attach a slider bar to a movie clip. The movie clip is of a face morphing from emotion to no emotion. My ultimate goal is to have the viewer choose when the emotion has disappeared by moving the slider bar.

View 4 RepliesThis is what I am trying to achieve but I do not remember the syntax in AS2
HTML Code:
public function highlightCan() {
var glowId = String(this);
var newId = glowId.substring(47);
[Code].....
If I hard code this value i.e. _glow0 or _glow1, this works but this value needs to be dynamic, in order to get the rollover state working. per highlightCan();
I would like to attach a sound to a movie clip that is serving as a button.
I want the movie clip button to make a little noise when the mouse rollovers it.
I am using Flash MX.

function Job(id) {
this.id = id;[code]...
but the movie clip isn't showing up on the stage...
how you can attach some actionscript to a duplicated movie clip.
View 4 Replieshow to attach a movie clip to the stage or root. I have created a movie clip called movClip and have checked export for actionscript and have chosen "movClip" as its class.I have used this script:
ActionScript Code:
function button1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var mc1:movClip=new movClip();
mc1.x=0;
[code]....
This attaches the movie clip. Great! Problem is it doesn't attach the movie to the root or stage, but rather as a child of this function?? weird! so when I want to use removeChild(mc1) from a different function from a different button or even from an action set on a different timeline it can't target mc1?So how do I make this work. Basically I want one function from button 1 to attach the movie clip and I want a second function from a second button to remove the movie clip.
ok so heres the problem: i have some buttons that are suppose to attach a movie clip on stage after you press it. This works perfectly, but after i mask it, the masking box blocks it so i can't click on anything.
i hope you understood what i'm saying, and i've tried using the 'setmask' code, but that doesn't work either.
Code:
var hands = new Array();
function attachHands(){[code]....
These are the codes i have typed.I have already attach the movie in hand1,hand2,hand3.Is there a way to remove attachHand1 and attach a new movie clip on it? Not to overlap on attachHand1 because it will be seen.Those hand1,hand2,hand3 are empty movie clips....
I need to be able to click on any part of the screen and have a movieclip from the library appear where I clicked. It would be the same item each time.
View 10 RepliesI'm kind of a flash newbie, and I need some help with AS2 in Macromedia Flash 8. I want to make it so that when you click the mouse, it plays a certain movie clip at the current mouse position, without the movie clip actually being on the stage.
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to attach a movie clip to the main stage using:
[AS]
this.attachMovie("movieObj", mc1, 1);

However, it ain't showing up. Trace said the movieclip of that name is undefined, despite having the correct linkage and instance name. Anyone know why a movieclip might be MIA?
I am trying to attach a movie clip at a specific location on the stage using the following code:attachMovie("plane_mc", "mc", 1, {x:50} );The statement above does attach my MC called plane_mc onto the stage but it won't attach it at the location where I want it to. The x parameter doesn't seem to have any effect whatsovever on the stage location.

View 7 RepliesIm making a game where you have a little dude you're walking around with using the arrow keyes. Now i have certain underwater scenes and here i thought it would be nice to add a little movie clip of air bubbles coming out of the dudes mouth.
So i have the movie clip with the animated bubbles laying in the same frame as the scene (where the dude will walk around). Im looking for a script that makes it so that as soon you enter the scene the "bubbles" movieclip will "attach" itself to the "man" movieclip. (Or atleast follow it around)
I dont want to modify the man clip itself with bubbles since then the bubbles will interfere with some hittest i have (and just want the bubbles to be aesthetic)
Why an attached move clip doesn't keep button interactions from still engaging in the layers underneath i.e. navigation buttons, rollovers, etc.?

I've got an XML document that holds the info for a Press section I'm doing for a client. The XML holds the path to a thumbnail, the headline text and a link to the original article. I'm having no problem getting the thumbnails to load in and the headline was a breeze too. Put them both in holders so I could position them later. My trouble comes when I try to pass the link attributes to a button that also gets attached to each press clipping. I can trace out the link array that I create to hold my XML data but when I try to pass it to a getURL function inside a button in the same For loop "i" is never passed.
Code:
var yPos:Number = 0;
var xPos:Number = 0;
var spacer:Number = 6;
var imgPathArr:Array = new Array();
var headlineArr:Array = new Array();
var linkArr:Array = new Array();

View 17 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script

each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
i am making a pacman game, and i need to know how to make it go to a certain scence when a movie clip collides with another movie clip.
View 2 RepliesThere is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [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.
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. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
