View 2 RepliesHow would I go about loading an array or vector with movieclips from the library?
View 1 RepliesI have 4 groups of movieclips all with different names.
Example:
Group1 contains dog_mc, cat_mc and bird_mc
Group2 contains shoe_mc, hat_mc and pants_mc
etc...
What I am trying to do is load a random group initially (either 1-4), then I want to play that group of movieclips. Once that group is completed playing all its movieclips, I want to move on to the next group and play all those movieclips. When all groups and movieclips have completed, I want to loop back to the start.
I'm trying to create a game where coloured items can be matched to coloured pegs on a washline but am having trouble with creating an array thet will place the pegs onto to the washline. I have 6 pegs and I wish to randomly attach 3 of them onto the line each time the swf is played.
Currently the pegs are labeled :
Blue_peg
Pink_peg

I have an array of strings. Each string is a name of a class. How can I call the library item with the class name that corresponds to the string in the array?
View 1 Repliesi am trying to pull out a random movieclip from the library and use "addChild" to add it to another movieclip on stage by using an array.basically, i need to be able to create an array that has all the names of the movieclips i want to randomly pull out... and then randomly select a name from that array so i can use it to get the movieclip out.i cant seem to be able to tell flash that the name in the array is referring to a movieclip in the library.which is why the code below returns an error..[code]

View 5 RepliesI was wanting to load different movieclips from within my library onto the stage of my main movie when the user mouses over a button. Each movie clip that I was wanting to load is the same size and also are to load into the exact same location as one another.I think I can do this by setting up an empty movie clip on the stage and scripting it so they all load into it? Is this right?
View 2 RepliesI need to load random movieClips from the library to a middleStage container on my stage. I already have this.
Code:
for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
this["btn"+i].iD = i;
this["btn"+i].onRelease = function() {
[Code]....
I just need to add to that random loading to the middleStage this will only work when the user is not interacting with buttons = btn's.

View 2 RepliesI have an array of ingredients for soup as strings. These ingredients are also movieclips in my library, all linked with an identifier. I want to add the movieclips to the stage dynamically.
I tried getDefinitionByName but I keep getting an error that the variable "appel" (veg[0] in this case) is undefined. And basically, I only have a general idea what I'm doing here, so I would be grateful if someone could explain it to me or link me to a helpful tutorial.

I have 15 empty placeholder on my stage, named "empty01" - "empty15". I have 15 mcs in my library, with linkage identifiers "01" - "15".

I would prefer for 'empty01' to load a random mc. Can anyone advise how I could achieve this? I have tried to create an array containing the 15 library mcs (not sure if this is correct):

I used to put a load of instance names linking to library objs into an array in AS2, then use a loop to add them to the stage..[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a flash file with about 32 empy MovieClips on the stage.Basically what I need to do is take an array of images and load them into these empty MovieClips. Hope this makes sense so far.This array will be dynamic and will come from a PHP file.The problem is I'm not sure how to do this? I don't know to take an array in flash and allocate the images to individual MovieClips.
View 1 RepliesI have an XML document that lists url of images to be displayed. What I want to do is load the length of images in the XML doc into an Array. Then take that array and make movieclips for each one.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project that some one else created. There were very orgainized, but my question is this: There is a starburst shape, and in the property inspector it is labeling as yellow burst, and that's how it shows in the library. But one instance of it is red in the movie, and I can not find it to change or delete as they called everything dynamically. how this was done, or how I might locate this object?
View 3 Repliesi seem to be having some problems with the Vector class in actionscript 3 in a Flex Project or an ActionScript Project it is possible to do this var v:Vector.<String>; But when i do the same thing in a Flex Library Project (to create an SWC) then i get the following error on that line of code 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: String.
so when using Flex Library Project it fails..., but when i compile the same thing using compc there are no problems any idea why only the library project is complaining about Vector ?

I am making a 3d scene in flash 10 and i have found that a movie clip with a vector graphic inside it becomes pixelated when the z axis is set it a negative value.
View 2 RepliesCode:
var myArrow:ArrowMovieClip = new ArrowMovieClip();
var vectorDisplayObject:DisplayObject = stage.addChild( myArrow );
I used the code above to create an instance of an arrow graphic that I made using the line tool (the graphic is embedded in a movie clip). I now want to add different colored fills and different stroke sizes and colors using code. Is it possible to do this with pre-drawn vector graphic objects, or is it only doable if I create the arrow with code using things like lineTo and curveTo?
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type __AS3__.vec:Vector.<Foo> to an unrelated type Array.Really? Doesn't Vector include all the properties, methods and signatures of Array? Is there some low level reason Vector cannot be cast to Array?
View 2 RepliesSo I have this waky idea that I would put an array list (or list) or items inside a vector.
For example an array of fruit containing bananas, apples and oranges inside a vector of type fruit.
I could get the array list and thenwalk through it to get what I want.
What is the most efficient way to empty an Array or Vector in ActionScript 3?I've always just re-initialized them:
vector = new Vector.<T>();
array = [];
It doesn't look like there's an empty() function or anything similar.
I've run into a strange Vector out of range error when trying to splice a Vector array. The idea is to cut off the Vector array after a certain point....
var vec:Vector.<int> = new Vector.<int>();
vec.push(1);vec.push(2);vec.push(3);vec.push(4);vec.push(5);
vec.splice(3,vec.length); // output RangeError: Error #1125: The index 5 is out of range 5.
The strange thing is that it works perfectly, if I change the Vector to a regular array like:

I have a quick question for you all. I'm trying to convert over some ActionScript code to C++ and am having a difficult time with this one line:
private var edges:Vector.<Array> What is this exactly? Is this essentially a multidimensional vector then? Or is this simply declaring the vector as a container? I understand from researching that vectors, like C++ vectors, have to be declared with a type. However, in C++ I can't just put down Array, I have to use another vector (probably) so it looks like:
I don't expect you guys to know the C++ equivalent because I'm primarily posting this with AS tags, but if you could confirm my understand of the AS half, that would be great. I did some googling but didn't find any cases where someone used Array as it's type.

I've been working on this for a while, and thought I understood the BitmapData class at least well enough to do basic stuff with it, but I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to make a preload function that will load external JPEGs, store them in an Array as BitmapData objects, then distribute them to thumbnail objects after all the images are loaded. The thumbnails are based on an external class I wrote, which already has a function to accept variable data.
My problem is, I can't seem to find a way to store BitmapData objects in an Array. I've even tried using a Vector.<BitmapData> object, but I get the same result, which is no data stored.
Here's the function, isolated from the rest of the script.
[Code]....
The result of this function is supposed to be, a series of images loaded one after the other, stacked 5 pixels down from each other. However, the actual result is, only the last loaded image is displayed. That's true for any number I place in the 'for' loop, only the last loaded image gets displayed.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong with the loading of the 'bitBucket' BitmapData, because it seems to be writing over the previous BitmapData in the Vector series.
Below is a method to populate a vector with a list of strings
PHP Code:[code]....
However, I have an existing array that contains a list of strings.How would I transfer those contents within the array into the vector?The basic way I can think of is using a for loop, and push the values in.

How do I initialize a vector with an array of values? I tried this and it complies fine, but does not work!
Code: langs = new Vector.<String>(["en","fr"]);I also need to load an arbitrary array into a vector, like this:
Code:
langlist = ["en","fr"];
langs = new Vector.<String>(langlist);
Is there a way to do this?
