I have an array that movieclips are added into depending on the users actions. When they are added to the the array, they are also added to the display list of another movieclip on the stage.I'm trying to refer to them later so I can remove them from this movieclip's display list, but I can't work out the wording.[code]
View 2 RepliesHow do i refer to an array name inside an array?[code]...
Now i need something like stuff=array1[3]; (this makes an array called stuff which is a copy of array2, hopefully) and then myvar=stuff[3] (which is "succes").. get it?
This project was originally written in as1 and I'm in the process of converting it to as3.I have a question regarding arrays.As far as I know, you can't refer to an array using negative indices in actionsscript, can you? I know it's possible in C, C++ and D, but not in actionsscript - to my knowledge.[code]Am I not right in assuming, that this array call produces menuitems[-1] in the first run?All variables are properly declared - in fact this code works just fine, and I don't understand that.

What I want is: when the "hero" touches an enemy, all enemies should be removed. The problem is that when the hero touches an enemy it only removes that enemy. This only happens when its inside of an "if" condition. I made another example using buttons and worked perfect. let me show you the examples: in this case I made a button to create some movie clips inside an array:
ActionScript Code:
i = 0
myArray = []
boton1_btn.onPress = function(){
[Code]....
in the dieEnemies() function it only remove the one enemy the hero is hitting. What should I do to make all enemies being removed?
I am using the load movie from my main file (main.swf) as:
mc_zoom.loadMovie("detail.swf");
I then have a loader as a movieclip with the detail.swf
when the movie (detail.swf) is loaded the preloader I am trying to make/set the play to go:
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
But this does not work - it works locally but when used with the main file (main.swf)
the second bit of code "mc_inst1.onRollOver..." works, but the first bit of code, which tries to loop through all movie clip instances, will not work.I think this is because myReference is a String. But can anyone suggest how else I should construct my reference to the instance name?
Code:
for (var a:Number = 1; a<myCount; a++) {
myReference="mc_inst"+a;
var myClip:MovieClip = myReference;

View 6 RepliesI have a movieclip on stage, but I want to move it or animate it with the use of an .as file, how do I refer to a movieclip on stage through a .as file?
Is this even possible or do I have to pass the actual movieclip as a parameter to a function of the class?
To make things more clear, here is my code:
Code on main timeline:
Code:
var myBox:Box = new Box();
myBox.x = 80;
myBox.y = 160;

I have the class avanzada.as:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]........
asically I have a variable in which I store various numbers depending on other aspects of the flash movie and I have a bunch of movieclips that are on the stage all named by number. I want to use the variable value to access and run methods etc of these movieclips.
e.g.
var myVar = "10";
myVar.myFunction();
where the item on stage called '10' will react. I realise this is a confusion between a string and an object/movieclip reference but i'm almost certain ive done this before and ive got a feeling it had something to do with [] brackets on the end of something...
Is there a way to refer to an object on the main timeline from inside another movie clipThe "_root." function does not work and I am still unfamiliar with the "_parent." functions purpose.

I have a container movie which loads another movie into a Loader object which then gets added to the main timeline. The loaded movie has a main class which controls all the other classes in that movie. The container movie has one other element - a scrollbar which scrolls the loaded movie (which is longer than the container) up and down.
When content changes in the loaded movie I need to pass a message to the scrollbar. If I trace parent.parent.parent from the init() function of the loaded movie it traces [object MainTimeline]. My scrollbar, sBar is a direct child of the main timeline, but tracing parent.parent.parent.sBar doesn't work So how can I pass a reference to the scrollbar to the loaded movie? Here's the code in the container movie:
PHP Code:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var sBar:Scrollbar;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);

I have an object created visually. How should I refer to it from classes of other objects? MovieClip(this.root).someObj or stage.someObj or MovieClip(this.root).stage.someObj? And moreover, if I want to see which frame is current on the main timeline, why I cannot just check stage.currentFrame? Why there is no such property of the stage, currentFrame? It has timeline, right?
