ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass In A DisplayObject To A Container In A Specified Frame Of A MovieClip?
May 31, 2009
In a project, I need to pass in a DisplayObject to a container in a specified frame of a MovieClip. (for example a "container" instance at Frame 15)
I thought it should be just okay with this code:
Code:trace(mc.currentFrame);// Output 1 - we are at the first frame of this mc.
[Code]...
If the timer delay is set to 1, the container is still not available, but if it's set to 100, it's okay. Then I make this delay bigger and bigger, the threshold value is 25. (My FPS is 30)

My question is not like the one I read because the context is different: Let's say instead of embedding a flash inside an html page with some flashvars, I want to embed it inside another flash or flex. How to set the flashvars in this case (using ActionScript 3)? So how to embed Flash in another flash and set same variables as it was embedded in html by passing querystring or flashvars.

I am going to have a situation where i have all sorts of different sizes of graphical data coming at me from XML. The only thing that all of these assets have in common is that they will be sharing a 100px by 100px thumbnail and they are SWFs.My question is, how can i make an object fit into the thumbnail so that:1) Theres no cropping of the item2) Items smaller than 100x100 must be enlarged3) Items larger than 100x100 must be shrunk

I'm coding this minigame implementation where a sprite traverses tiles on a screen, and when he's done traversing a tile, the tile "disappears" (its alpha decreases and it becomes a "wall" the player can not move onto). Now, simple enough. Make use of a traversing and traversed boolean arrays to store if a tile is currently being traversed, or if it isn't, but it has been traversed. So, if traversing == 0 and traversed == 1, make the tile "disappear". However, and here's the weird part, if I just set the alpha to, say, 0.5 in this if statement, it sets the alpha on just the tile I traversed, whereas if I try to make it part of the wall as well (in the same if), every tile except the one I've traversed to becomes a wall.
Here's part of the code (it happens in the enterFrame game loop):
Code:
const NUM_TILES = 15;
//Add MC for all the tiles
var tiles = new MovieClip();
addChildAt(tiles,5);

I am designing a game/demo and in this game I displaying 10 trains with carraiges in a row. Each row has 2 radio buttons one that indicates the train is going East and one that indicates West. I have 10 examples to the left of the game, 5 facing East and 5 facing West each has different attributes as well. The user has to guess which of the ten trains in the demo are going East and which are going West using the radio buttons. (They will all be facing one direction in the game, not the examples.) The trains are loaded into flash dynamically using text files.
I wanted to know what is the best way of utilizing the radio buttons. I have never used them before. 1. Is it possible for me to set it up so that I can have a data file that contains the following but1=0&but2=1&but3=1&but4=0&.....but10=1& Pass this data file to a container that contains all the radio buttons. If radio button but1=0 then the correct choice is West and if but1=1 then the correct choice is East. When the user has selected their 10 choices, Can I have a button at the bottom that will calculate the users choice pass them to the next 'page' and list the users selections next to the correct answers and say something like 'You got 5/10!'

The thing is: I have got 5 movieclips which are able to drag and drop. Next to that I've got 20 containers which are all droptargets. The movieclips are able to be dragged and then dropped on a container. So far so good. But what I want is that when I drop a movieclip on a container which already has a movieclip dropped on it, the first movieclip gets removed and the second movieclip is dropped on the container. Or you could also say.. that the second movieclip replaces the first movieclip. This instead of the fact that a container has multiple movieclips dropped on itself.

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

Is there a way to detect the type of a DisplayObject with a switch case statement?I noticed that you can check if the displayobject compared to the type returns true or false.
Trace(mydisplayObj is Sprite); //return true or false
Trace(mydisplayObj is MovieClip); //return true or false
But isn't there an option to get the type of the displayObject directly?
like,
switch (typeof(mydisplayObj)) {
case Sprite:
break;

After i look in kirupa foruns(and others) i found lots of information about how to load a movie into a container, making that the movie starts in a specific frame label.
I have 2 movies, the fist one "main.swf" contains the "container", the 2nd "teste.swf" contain the frames labeled like "F1", "F2" "F3" "F4" and "F5".

I was certain that this type of problem would have been previously discussed here or in a tutorial. I have looked quite a bit and could not find anything that puts all the pieces of my puzzle together.As the movie is playing (looping), I would like the movie to stop at the current frame whenever I click and hold the mouse down within the area of the container. Furthermore, I would like to be able to scrub the movie backward if I drag my mouse to the left within the container and as I reach the left end of the container, the movie is at the first frame. And similarly, I would like to scrub forward if I drag to the right within the container and as I reach the right end of the container, the movie is at the last frame. On top of this daunting task, I would like the movie to resume playing from wherever I have released the mouse.
Here is a file that I have started and I am pretty much at a loss as to where to go now. I know it has something to do with where the mouse is relative to either side of the container, but...how does one get it to work?Basically, I would like to emulate the functionality of the QuickTime Player - the one where you can grab the slider and drag it left or right to scrub in either direction and then upon release of the slider it resumes playing.I do not understand the media components in MX 2004, maybe this type of thing is "easy" to program in to one of those modules?

I have an empty container MovieClip in which I put a couple of other MovieClips.These inner MovieClips have the ability to expand (kind of accordeon).Everytime a new item gets added/removed or when an item expands/collapses I check if scrolling is needed by checking container.height.The weird thing is that the result is different depending on which item is expanded. Although all the items (and the expanded sections) have equal height and spacing.

I have a building floor plan with multiple building levels. Each level occupies a space in the main timeline. And when they click on a particular room, the page is refreshed with that room's info thanks to a little bit of php.
When a room on a particular level is clicked, and the page refreshes, the flash (obviously) starts to play from frame 1 again which is the main level.
I would like to pass the frame # to gotoAndPlay() from outside flash when the user clicks on a room on the upper levels of the building so the proper level is shown.

I have an application that gets its variable data in XML file.
This application is used for different clients with different data.
Some of the data I pass to the Document class from the first frame. I would prefer to pass url to the XML file the same way, without the necessity to update the document class. But now I have to hardcode this url in the class every time, because I cannot get parameters from the first frame to the class at once, only after some time (like after loading XML with hardcoded url).
Is there a way to force executing of the code on the first frame before the code in the class will proceed?

I'm having problem with regards to getting the name of the inserted images inside the movieclip container.
My movieclip container is named "container", it followed this snippet:
[Code]....
Is it possible to get the exact name of the images instead of "instance147" or "instance175"? So that if i have inserted image with the name of apple.png, it will show:
| 1. name:apple.png type:object [object Loader]
By the way, i use FileReference to insert image to the stage.

Using MovieClipLoader, is it possible for the loaded swfs to access movie clips in the container swf movie? In building a preloader for a previously produced flash app (originally made for CD), I was running across huge problems with some dynamically created masks (created using attachMovie and setMask). My solution (not ideal, I guess) was to move the masks and the masked objects into the preloader ("container") movie. But still need to move them around by code located inside the swf being loaded.
Relevant code from inside the preloader:
myMCL.onLoadInit = function() {
_root.attachMovie("screenText12", "screenText12", 15)
_root.attachMovie("internalMask", "internalMask12", 17)
_root.screenText12.setMask("internalMask12");
}
And from inside the swf being loaded:
_root.screen12.onMotionFinished = function() {
screenText12InY = new Tween(_root.screenText12, "_y",mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 463, 403, .5, true);
The red is where I'm not sure of how to get in contact with the movie clip in the preloader.

I've been going through the Transitions Between External SWF tutorials and all is going well except I wish to situate my buttons in a movieclip and not on the main timeline as the tutorial teaches. The tutorial does point out; 'If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. If your buttons are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.'Does anyone know how I'd do that to the below code? (for some reason the code tags were messing up so I've just copy and pasted.)

This seems like a really nooby question to me, but it was a lot easier in AS2. How could I create a blank container movieclip in AS3? I tried stuff like Code: var container:object = new Object(); And using movieclips and stuff instead of objects, but it didn't work. Also, is there a way to loop through the stage to find every movieclip that it contains? My snake game is currently, for lack of a better word (or perhaps attention span in English) un-re-playable.
