Dynamically Adding Movieclips To Stage In 'for Each' Loop
Dec 2, 2009I am reading in collection objects from an XML file. Each collection has an img field that stores a URL to the collection image. So I am trying to load the images of each collection, storing each image in a MovieClip, and add these MovieClips to the stage. However, my problem is that after adding a MovieClip (with the collection image) to the stage, when a new MovieClip is created in my 'for each' loop it overrites the previous MovieClip. So the images I am adding to the stage are being replaced by the following collection's image on each loop iteration. What can I do to avoid this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: For Loop And Buttons On Stage
Feb 21, 2006I have several buttons on stage (8), and I want to add a slighty different action for everyone of them. How do I do that, All the buttons always get the last past of the "FOR"..
Code:
function loadThumbs(eventoUrl:String) {
for(i=1; i<=9; i++) {
temp = this["thumb_"+i];
with (temp) {
image = "fotos/"+eventoUrl+"/thumbs/"+i+".jpg";
loadImages(image, temp);
temp.onRollOver = function() {
this.play();};
temp.onPress = function() {
this.loadImages(image, image_big);
};};};};
loadImages() is a LoadMovieClip type function I created.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Buttons (MovieClips) Onto Stage Via Linkage
Jul 7, 2011It works perfectly in Flash Player 9 but not in FP10. I am calling 5 buttons onto the stage via linkage. These buttons are a movieClip with two frames inside - with different grafics on each frame. I want to use an array to make button 2 and 4 show the second frame in the movieClip. How can I do this! I guess I have to use FP10 since this is a small part of an AIR application. Create a movieClip with to frames, linkagename: radioButton, and why it doesn't work in FP10...
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var myArray:Array = new Array;
var box:Sprite = new Sprite;
var count:int = 5;
myArray = ["button1", "button3"];
stage.addChild(box);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Code Optimization - Controlling MovieClips Buttons On Stage
Jan 7, 2007I am sure that this code can be optimized so I don't have to type 8 instances (only 2 shown) of the (almost) same code.
kabinet.onRollOver = function() {
this.fleka._alpha = 70;
this.izlaz=false;
} kabinet.onRollOut = function() {
this.izlaz=true;
[Code] .....
What I am aiming for is to have a way to pass "kabinet", or "operativni" etc. to a function or smth... The code is used to control mc buttons on the stage. It works, but it's ugly and not practical, obviously. I tried with
[var]onRollOver = function() {
Inside a function, var being the parameter of said function ("kabinet", "operativni" etc.), but to no avail. Also tried with the with(var), thingy, but with the same result.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Vs MovieClips... Why Should I Use Buttons?
Jan 21, 2010I have been using Flash since it was Flash 3 and AS2 for about 3 years now. I have never ever ever been a fan of buttons. I find them limiting and icky. I just moved to AS3 and OOP this week (it's about freakin time, I know). I am just wondering who here likes to use buttons and why? Is there a point to them? I mean, apparently with AS3, you just have to add "mc.buttonMode = true" and you are well on your way to having all the functionality you need without all the hassle or up states and all that.I am open to adopting new techniques and strategies if they are worthwhile so I am just curious as to what the community thinks. What are the pros and cons to using MovieClips as buttons instead of using an actual SimpleButton.

IDE :: Loop Does Not Pick Up Movieclips?
Oct 16, 2009I've got a movieclip(we'll call this "A") on my stage, which attaches another movieclip("B") into itself. So it's nested.Now, once this movieclip("A") has attached the other movieclip("B") into itself,It uses a "gotoAndStop()" to send the frame of movieClip("B") to the right frame, eg. frame 2. Then it runs a loop which checks for all movieclips in "B" and populates an Array.The script I'm using for this is :
Code:
for (var i=0; i<h.numChildren; i++) {// This loop is suppose to populate my "bitArray" Array with all of the attached clip's childclips
if (h.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip) {[code]....
if there were 22 MovieClips on frame 2 in movieClip"B" , this code would still be able to populate my array with all 22 clips right?It doesn't. For some reason, if there were 22 clips, then out of the 22, the loop would only pick up 9. However, doing a trace with numChildren() in movieClip"B", it would still show 22. But my array would only show 9.I've attached a sample fla, I think it would explain my problem a lot better.Once you run it, it should spit out an output telling you how many movieclips in the attached movieclip, and it'll tell you how many clips it pushed onto the array.I can't seem to get the number of movieclips in my array to equal the number of clips in total inside my attached movieclip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Animating Movieclips Through Loop
Jul 26, 2010I'm trying to create an accordion menu that contains three submenus. The idea is that when you mouseover one submenu (or rectangle, to keep it simple) that the rectangles which were previously covering it will move to reveal it. Menus of this type can be found at the bottom of nvidia's site [URL] for reference.
At first I tried creating each function, which will make the rectangles move, separately but this resulted in three very repetitive functions and there seemed like there should be a better way, especially since I'd like a good way to add and remove submenus. The animation did work then. I tried to clean it up by creating a for loop that would move each rectangle but now, for some reason, it doesn't work. It is still missing some key points such as utilizing the mOver variable to figure out when each rectangle is moused over and act appropriatly

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loop Through All MovieClips For Width
Nov 26, 2007I have 5 movie clips, currently and I am positioning them via actionscript. The instance names are nar, mv, dance, bio, clients, contact. (pretty obvious this is navigation for a portfolio site?)
Here is the positioning I currently have...
Code:
var spacing = (((Stage.width*.75) - (nar._width + mv._width + dance._width + bio._width + clients._width + contact._width))/5);
nar._x = 10;
mv._x = 10+nar._width+spacing;
dance._x = 10+nar._width+mv._width+(spacing*2);
bio._x = 10+nar._width+mv._width+dance._width+(spacing*3);
clients._x = 10+nar._width+mv._width+dance._width+bio._width+(spacing*4);
contact._x = 10 + nar._width + mv._width + dance._width + bio._width + clients._width + (spacing*5);
Now, I know that this can be done with an array and a loop, something like, loop through all movie clips for width, then use the total in the spacing variable, then for each clip in the array, set the _x to 10 + the width of the clips before it + spacing times its array position, but man, I can just NOT figure out the syntax.
IDE :: Sounds Loop In Nested Movieclips?
Dec 9, 2010We have found that if you skip over frames that include nested movieclips with embedded timeline sounds, those sounds loop endlessly.For example, if you gotoAndStop(20) from frame 2, but frames 5-10 have a CLIP A that embeds CLIP B, which has a timeline sound, you hear that sound over and over again (even though the playback head never touched the frames with that clip).Does anyone have a convenient workaround (other than the obvious -- playing sounds dynamically, etc). For animation-sync reasons we need to use timeline sounds in this particular case.
