Moving A Symbol Without Recording The Path Animation?
Dec 4, 2009I am simply trying to move symbols around on my Stage, and each time I move one, the "path" is recorded and the object flows on that path when I scrub or play back.
All I would simply like to do is reposition images and symbols with out the movement and animation.
Professional :: Tile Symbol Along Path Or Apply As Stroke?
Nov 19, 2010Here is an odd question, can I tile a graphic symbol in my library along a path or apply it as a stroke somehow? In Illustrator you can select an item, go to the brushes palette, select new brush, new brush pattern. Is the same functionality available in flash (even programmatically)?

Mar 3, 2010I have a mc in my library called SimpleButton and in the class path for that mc I have the path to my class: com.company.ui.buttons.SimpleButton.
But when I try to instantiate the symbol using the following code, it does not appear on the stage.
Code:
var simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
addChild(simpleButton);
The code works fine when the mc class path is just SimpleButton, the symbol is added to the stage. However when I try to use my own class, the base class disappears from the linkage box in the mc properties dialog and the symbol does not appear on the stage.
Here is my SimpleButton class:
Code:
package com.company.ui.buttons

Professional :: Motion Path Using 3D - OK In Main Timeline Broken In Symbol
Jan 4, 2012I have spent many frustrating hours trying to figure out why this is happening. It is totally broken. I need to use a motion path using 3d in a symbol. Because of the way the project is put together (for Flex) there are several FLAs that need to be converted to symbols.
So when I convert the FLA that contains a motion path with 3D, the object moves away from the path in the symbol (the 1st frame remains in place, but everything else is off the path), even though it remains correct in the main timeline.
And once I start editing the object in the symbol, the object returns to the path ok, as if it had been some strange display issue, but the 3D is all wrong - the vanishing point relative to the object has changed. The same thing happens whether I create the 3D path using "global" or "local" tool settings.

Actionscript 3 :: Remove MC From Dynamic Path Reference With RemoveChild?
Oct 31, 2010I'm not even sure if the title reflects what I want to do. Here's backstory. I have a movieclip with 5 'holder' movieclips in them. They are my containers for dynamically added movieclips. The parent containers has an instance name of pyramid, the holder instance names are labeled after the 6 food groups, i.e., 'grainholder', 'fruitholder', 'vegetableholder', etc etc...The holders are within the pyramid container, instance names as above, and the pyramid container is added to the display list. I have a addFoodToPyramid() function which adds 'foodMC' mc's to their respective holders. So an [object Apple] will be dynamically added by way of pyramid.fruitholder.addChild(Apple). The function also adds a listener. Heres the call and the function:The call (I will use grains as example) is this:
addFoodToPyramid(grainArray, grainHolder, grainCounter);
And the function is:
function addFoodToPyramid(thisArray:Array, thisHolder:MovieClip, thisCounter:Number):void

ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking For Existance Of A Symbol (null Object Reference Error)?
Jan 13, 2010In Actionscript 3, I'm trying to build a button to go back from a content frame to a main menu. When the button is clicked, IF the content frame has a movie in it, that movie should stop playing. Flash keeps throwing a "null object reference" error on all pages that don't include a movie.

Actionscript 3 :: Symbol Binding - Each Copy Of The Anonymous Function Gets Bound To A Single Reference To F?
Apr 20, 2011I'm new to AS3, and can't figure out why this loop isn't behaving the way it "should."
[Code]...
How can I give each anonymous function a reference to each object represented by f, rather than a simple reference to f each time? Specifically, why is it that each copy of the anonymous function gets bound to a single reference to f? How (I should say why) exactly does AS3 differ from JavaScript in this regard?

Flash :: Mxmlc Compiler - Source-path Preferred Over Library-path?
Nov 9, 2011the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

Flash :: Change Visibility Of Symbol Instance From Inside Another Symbol's Script
Nov 22, 2011I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.

To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
