View 1 RepliesI m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............
I'm trying to add movieclips to the stage, but can't. They are inside of an array that I have made. The code is short but it doesn't work:
Code:
var myarray:Array=new Array(mymc1,mymc2);
this.addChild(myarray[0]);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can I use the array to call the movieclip in some other way?
I have a movieclip on the stage in which I have some 90 movieclips also on the stage.
I created an array to hold the movieclips. But when I try to add eventlisteners to these movieclips by cycling through the array, I get a 1009 error ("Could not parse the XML. Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.") Oddly, however, the application seems to work correctly, handling my listener events.
On the other hand, if I add eventlisteners for each movieclip individually, all works fine--no errors are thrown.
I need to remove every object that is part of an array from the stage. What I have right now only removes one of the objects.
this.removeChild(enemyList.splice(0)[0]);
I've tried several variations of this with either the same result or an error. Also, what is the zero in hard brackets for? I haven't seen that in many tutorials/explanations, but when I take it out, I get all kinds of errors.
I'm trying to animate the list of thumbnails I have imported from an XML doc in my movie. In as2 I had something like:
[Code]...
So I've decided the best way to animate them in a staggered fashion is to create a "clipArray:Array" and then push in one thumbnail at a time. Then animate the clips using Tweenlite's TweenGroup. However, I don't know what would make the most sense as I'm new to the display model. Should I try to push in movie clips or holders? I'm not sure would make more sense down the line with the new format in AS3.
I'm trying to make an array of movieclips (on stage with instance names);My code:
PHP Code:
var regions:Array=new Array("britain.eastAnglia","britain.eastMidlands","britain.ireland");
[code]......
Is this correct? I am gettign this errorTypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.I am trying to created a new instance of a movieclip on stage based on the number from elderCount.
//elderCount is a var:Number
var elderMan:Array = new Array(new starMovie());
var Star:starMovie = new elderMan[elderCount](stage);
[code].....
I'm working with arrays again and i have a question for the smart I have an array with 10 references to a movie clip in my library and a timer that add one of these movie clips to the stage every second (Without removing them from the array). When the movie clips are added to the stage they will be touching another movie clip that has an instancename. I want to perform a hit test between the movie clip on the stage and the added movie clips from my array that will lead to some actions.
My question is: Is it possible to hit test the movieclips in the array with the movieclip on the stage with a few simple lines of code? I'd hate to have to give each of them an instance name. I know this is what classes are for but i really hoped i could avoide using them for this project ( stupid classes!) I'm looking for something like this in code: if any movieclip in my array hit test a specific movieclip on stage

How can I load a swf from this xml file into a mc holder file? See code below.
var myxml:XML = <node label="Root Node"><node label="Chapter 1">
<node label="Intro" image="circleImage"/>
<node label="Recommended Prerequisites" image="squareImage"/>
<node label="Course Navigation and Controls" image="triangleImage"/>

I am trying to load an array of web_thumbs into an array of thumb "holders" I've got the holders loading in a grid but then the way I have it, all of the web_thumbs load into each of the holders instead of one web_thumb per holder - I've tried it every which way and this is as close as I can get it without help... Can someone tell me what i need to do to have one web_thumb load into each thumb holder? This is what i have in place:
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
dataLoader.load(new URLRequest("web_thumbs.xml"));
dataLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoaded);[code]..........
I am trying to load a swf into a holder movie clip from the child movieclip.It's parent has a holder that i want to load a swf into.I am navigating from within a child clip.It would be nice to have the swfs load from an external xml file but it isn't mandatory.
View 3 RepliesIs there any way to check the currentframe or totalframes of a movie loaded into a 'holder clip' on the main stage? Everything i try just comes back with 1 frame despite there being more than that?
View 3 Repliesim loading photos of different aspect ratios with a loader onto a child holder frame_mc. I wanted to know what AS3 commands do i need to work on to get the frame_mc to resize to the new childs dimensions and centerize itself on the main stage? (as in event listeners, functions, vars etc)

View 3 RepliesI have a project that was dumped on my lap, and my knowledge of Actionscript is very limited.
The scenario is that the user is presented with a floormap of a building that should show a red dot denoting where each employee sits (based on X,Y coordinates on the floormap).
The employees' profiles (name, telephone, X/Y coordinates) are stored in a database.
One our our programmers managed to load the users into a Flash object array. Now, it's my turn to add some actionscript to place a red dot on the floormap for each and every user in that array based on their x/y coordinates.[code]...
Code:
var userdataArray = new Array();
for (var s = 0; s<5; s++) {
[code].....
so if my array is
ActionScript Code: var topScores:Array = new Array(1000,900,800,700,600,500,400,300,200,100)
I know that I can replace the item at position 5 by doing ActionScript Code: topScores[4]=550
but how do I just insert another array item without replacing so that position 5 becomes position 6 and position 5 is the new number?
more to the point, I then ideally want to lose the last postion so that the same number of items exists in the array

View 5 RepliesI need to insert a menu in the main stage and I have three movieclips exported to ActionScript with their base classes.
[Code]...
Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}
how can I insert/add/push new values to specific place in Array?
For Example:
Array:
myArray["value1", "value4", "value5"]
[Code].....
I think that arrays are probably one of the more powerful tools available in flash,
mc with instance name but0
inside mc is a text box var name label , code is
[AS]label = _name;[/AS]
mc on main timeline code in frame 1 is:
subjects = new Array("page1","page2","page4","page4","page5")
butHeight = but0._height+5;
butNumber = subjects.length[code]....
What this code does is produce 5 buttons appearing one after the other, like a cascade effect, so far so good, I then want to insert the array elements into text box label, but all I get is subject, subject1, subject2 and so on.So, what do I need to do so that my buttons are called page1, page2 and so on.
how can I insert/add/push new values to specific place in Array?
For Example:
Array: myArray["value1", "value4", "value5"]
Data to insert: "value2", "value3"
So I need my array to look like this: myArray["value1", "value2", "value3", "value4", "value5"]
I want to remove the movieClips created from the "for loop" and "array" from stage when it goes to the next frame. Is this line of code correct?
