ActionScript 3.0 :: Make An Array Of A Clip Or The Holder?
Nov 4, 2009
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 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 doing a simple loadmovie, bringing an external swf into a holder clip that is empty.
here is my code. I have it placed on frame one INSIDE the holder clip:
PHP Code:
_root.pages.weddingholder.loadMovie("wedding_section.swf",this);
The external movie loads, but the issue is HOW it loads. The swf is 643x394 and looks fantastic by itself. When it is loaded into the holder clip though, it scales it and makes it much taller and wider than the actual external SWf is, and is messing the way it looks up.

I am using CS4 and ActionScript 2.0.I am trying to create a photo gallery.I have created 4 different movie clip buttons that reside on the content layer.Each button consists of one image.When the movie clip button is pressed, I want the full size image to appear on the stage next to the buttons.You can see the buttons in the image below.I am trying to create an empty movie clip holder that would reside on the main timeline while the buttons reside on the content layer.I need to get the images to load into the empty movie clip and then unload when the next button is selected?I can't seem to get the buttons to "talk" to the empty movie clip holder.I did manage to create code for an empty movie clip holder within each button, but then I end up with all four images on top of each other.

I'm trying to do a game in as3, but i get a problem, i got an array :var movieClipArray:Array = new Array(new monClip1(),new monClip2(),new monClip3(),new monClip4(),new monClip5())that each clip appears randomly and for a random time, but for special buttons, you can suppress some clips, the problem is that with monClip1, and monClip5, its quiet easy with shift() and pop(), because they will always be the first and last of the array, but for the rest, s they wont be the same order, we cant only use a splice(), so I tried with indexOf, but it doesnt work ...
if(blablabla ...)
{
movieClipArray.splice(movieClipArray.indexOf(new monClip2()), 1);
}

I'm making a game. Rings are spawned at an interval (attachMovie) and pushed into an array. I need my character (on the root) to hitTest something inside of the clips in the array, because I have a motion tween with easing inside of my clip (up and down motion).
This is what I would think I would do to hitTest the array (assume this is in a for loop):
array[i].inner.hitTest(_root.char._x, _root.char._y, true);
It doesn't work. I can't access the inner clip if it's in an array.

im trying to make a third-person shooter game similiar to those "hide" when you press Down and "attack mode" when you stand Up, sort of like Time Crisis.I've done first person shooter games before.The hero character's move clip contains three clips, one of him in hiding, one in attack mode, and the last being hit. How do I script it such that the "hide" clip does not receive any commands from the enemy clip (which tells the hero clip to advance to "hit" clip and lose a health").

I searched previous posts last week about this and learned that I can load a movie clip from the library in a blank mc holder similar to how I load an exernal swf. But so far that code is not working for me. I also need a way to close/make invisible the clip on user clicking an X. I have a page with about 6 key words over which I will place invisible buttons. First button instance is named compworkBtn. I have a blank mc on the stage, name of mcLoadertop. My mc I want to play is in the library and named compworkMC. I read that I need to set the properties to export and I have done this (picture attached for compworkMC).
[Code]....
Then I want the user to click on the X or close button and it goes away. I thought the easiest thing for this work be to program the Close button itself to drive the MC to a frame that had no content. It will still be there, of course, but not be visible. Then the user would click on the next key word and the next MC will load. Not sure that is a good solution though, because they will both still be there. So, I'd like a suggestion for another solution to unload the first mc and load the second one. I have done a similar thing with external swfs, but I will need a close button instance for each of the unloads, right?

I am trying to create a flash visual showing a time series of data on a world map. I have created a flash file which 1) creates proportional circles for each country of interest (in this case 6 countries) and 2) has a timeline so that the circles change through time. I have successfully gotten the timeline to work with the proportional circles, however the circles to not clear out before displaying the new circles when adjusting the timeline. I am not able to figure out how to properly clear out the circles. I have tried using the holder.removeChild(c) command before I create my new circles, but get an error which states 'Parameter child must be non-null'.
ActionScript Code:
import XMLLoader;
import ProportionalCircle;

What I've got is a holder swf that loads in a separate swf. Within this loaded swf there is a button, that when pressed, removes itself (as in, the swf the button is placed within is removed) from the holder swf and loads in a new swf.
This seems incredibly complicated to achieve, at least I think it is
What I've got so far is this, the holder swf...
Code: Select allpackage {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;

how to center an image that is smaller than its attachMovie parent. Basically I have a blank slide (a 94 x 94 square) that I load dynamically image thumbnails into. Some of them may be 92 wide and others 92 tall but never anymore than that. The problem I have is that all images loaded are aligned to the top of the mc they replace and if a thumbnail is 92 wide by 20 tall than theres alot of space underneath it - i need to center (both vertically and horizontally) the loaded data and I have come up stumped.

I'm working on the Kirupa photo gallery and that works fine. Now I want to change how the thumbnails are loaded in. I would like them to be loaded in a holder (now in an emptyMC) so that I can put a mask/ border on it.
This is the thumbnail function:
Code:
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k,thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();

I have a set up whereby I have a shell AS3 swf which loads in an as2 swf to a movieclip. The two swf's don't need to communicate with each other. This works fine, and the AS2 swf contains its own code for the user to interact with it. However, I'm using a simple setInterval in the AS2 swf to fire a few animations in sequence if the user doesn't interact with it for a few seconds. This works fine when I publish the AS2 swf on its own, but won't work when its loaded into the AS3 swf.

note I have to change some file names and urls for company privacy.I am working on an online banner ad which tight size requirements. In order to stay under the file size, I want to load an external swf housed on our server into an empty movie clip on a button press. I have this working with the following code on a button:
on (release) {
loader_mc.loadMovie("location where swf file is housed");
}
I then want to unload this movie if a different button is pressed. However I am receiving the following error.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file: XXXXXXXX halted - not permitted from "location where swf file is housed"
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
How can I unload this external swf file from my move? Again the external swf file is housed on our sever and the main swf file will be housed with the place we are advertising.

Trying to load a simple swf movie into my mc holder.When I preview the page on my desktop the external files loads. On the FTP server it doesn't. Why? I tried 2 scripts for an "onClipeEvent" on the empty mc holder but nothing workes. [code]Then I got recommended to use this script on an empty keyframe. It works but again, only offline.targetMc.loadMovie("floorplans/301.swf");
