ActionScript 3.0 :: Place A MovieClip On A Grid?
Feb 17, 2010
I'm trying to place a movieClip on a grid. What I have is a rectangular movieClip called recMc and I would like to create columns and rows based on two numbers that are dynamically generated, for instance if those numbers are 5 and 6, (5 rows and 6 columns) I will end up with 30 movieClips on the stage forming a rectangular shape. Oh, I would like to have some space in between each movieClip.
I think I saw something like this posted on [URL] when I bought the book, but since this site is down most of the time I cannot view it.
Code:
var rows:Number = dynamicNum1;
var cols:Number = dynamicNum2;
for(var i=0; i<rows; i++){
}

I have a 100 x 60 rectangle movieclip and I want to duplicate it n times (n is an arbitrary value taken from XML) and place the newly created movieclips in a grid.
The grid will have an arbitrary number of cols / rows, as these values are taken from XML too.
I'm using a for loop to place the movieclips horizontally, but I have no clue how to create a new row once the desired amount of movieclips have been placed horizontally, and so forth until the maximum (n) number of movieclips have been placed on the stage.
Here's my script so far:
ActionScript Code:
var n:Number = 28;//Maximum number of movieclips - this value is actually taken from XML

how can we place hundreds of instances of one movieclip on different place?
for exemple, pacman:
how should i code the placement of all the money?
i would go:
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
but that's not the good solution is it?
there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.

I place a group of movie clips with random types (different shapes on a square) in a grid formation The code for placing the movie clips is this (this is in two for loops):
[Code]...
this goes up a single column in the grid and should remove the tiles from the stage depending on each type and it does this (sort of) until it tries to remove more than one of the same type. So if it finds and removes an lShapes it doesn't error until it tries to remove another lShapes and then it gives this error in the output: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So I am assuming that this means it thinks all lShapes have been removed and thinks I'm trying to remove something that doesn't exist but there are other lShapes on the stage. I am at a loss as to what to do about this.

I'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?

I have a huge library in Flash CS5. Sometimes, I need to know in which place is used a movieclip (scene, inside another movieclip..).
Has Flash any options to know that?

I want to write AS2 code to place "thumb1" inside "container" at x = -163 and y = -65 relative to the orgin of container.
Then after placing the button, the actionscript should also hook up a on-release event to do .[code]...

Both movieClips are linked to classes. mc_main is on stage its a small dot. When I press button a new instance of Row should be attached to mc_main and should append.
PHP Code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

I want to enter Text along outer movie clips and text between spaces (outside)as rows and cols are dynamically so there can be many rows and cols
Is that possible to add text like in the image at the time of grid creation ?

what I have are pieces of a truck and the user needs to be able to drag and drop the pieces to the correct locations. I can get the pieces to drag, but I need help locking them into place once they get within a certain area. So for example if they drag and drop the wheels of the truck towards the back, but not in the exact location, then the movieclip will move and lock into place and then the movieclip becomes disabled.
var dragMC = finalMC.graphicMC;
///////////////////////////////////////
onMouseMove = function () {
updateAfterEvent();

I am currently working on a platformer, and I have a bunch of different tiles I use to form my maps with. These tiles are very different in the looks, and placed besides eachother, they give a very sharp change, which is not very visually appealing. I've been trying to fix this in the following way:
I have four layers, two for each block I'm fading. The first layer is where the actual tile, the graphic, is located. The second layer is the mask. In the mask layer, I have a gradient, which is the exact opposite of the other tiles mask layer (Mask layer 1 goes down, mask layer 2 goes up). However, I need to be able to alter those dynamically, place new gradients in the appropriate mask layer, and new tiles in the appropriate graphics layer.
I've been googling around for the last hour or so, attempting to find a way to define which layer a new MovieClip is placed on, but all I've found is setChildIndex, which, since one layer acts as a mask, I can't use. Is there any such function in Actionscript, or am I to make all combinations of tiles by hand?

I've placed this code on the root time line and it works great, however i need to print multiple MovieClips and I can't do that unless I place all the MovieClips into one MovieClip and that's were this code stops working.
This code keeps two seperate MovieClips physically connected while dragging both while on different layers. [code]...

I don't think Flash is seeing my movie clip grid that I placed on the GRID Layer. When I check syntax it doesn't find anything wrong, when I go to debug in Flash it shows the grid even though I thought I have it set to visible=false. When I set it to true and debug the code it shows the grid as well. When I try to test it in Scaleform for UDK as well, the cursor acts as it should however the grid is invisible, when I change the code for the grid to be visible it still doesn't show up. I provided a screen shot of the entire screen. with as much information I could think of to show including the entire AS code.
Below is the AS code as well. I am using AS2 code.
ActionScript Code:
_global.gfxExtensions = true;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(cursor, true);
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();

I have around 20 buttons that together make a map of USA. I am using AS3 tool tip, which display name of region on mouse-over. I want to create a movieclip which will house all these 20 buttons and their actions(basically put everything under one movieclip).
But when I do that everything works fine but the tool tip gets dispalced.
It appears almost at the edge of the stageAny way to make it appear near the mouse cursor?
Code I am using for tool tip is:
Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler1);
function mouseOverHandler1(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//creating a new tooltip instance
