I created a loop that adds the same movie clip 22 times inside of another movie clip and pushed it into an array in order to control it later. But i can't seem to find away to remove those children from the movie clip... is there a way to remove all children of a specific movie clip? I tried to create another loop but i cant remove the children using removeChild(arr[i]);
View 3 Repliesis there a way to remove all children mcs from a movie clip in a way similar to
if (mc.numChildren) mc.removeChildAt(0);
(which is AS3 by the way) but for AS2? I need to "empty" a container movie clip from movie clips duplicated in it through attachMovie, so i can load other stuff AFTER its emptied
The code below adds all the childrens of specific movie clip to the array called arrayBox. The next loop SHOULD loop through all the items inside arrayBox and check if any of those items (those items are all movie clips) is colliding with movie clip which isn't in array called avatar. If so, it should pop up the output and change some variable, but the point is that something with second loop is wrong...

I have been doing really well figuring everything out up until now.[code]How it stands, what is this link pointing to? Can I make it target a specific frame in a specific movie clip?And if someone would be so kind and explain what this is saying in 3rd grader terms.

I am making SWFs that an interface will load and control (pause, re-start, stop, etc.).When the interface is paused, the main movie clip will pause but not it's children movie clip.Note that I didn't write the interface AS3 code. I am supplying the SWFs that are loading into the interface. The developer of the interface won't allow me to use animated movie clips in my SWFs since he can't control them with the interface. So all my animation need to be on the main timeline.Can I provide him with some AS3 code to allow the developer to control the child movie clips or is there an Event Listener scheme I could include in the child movie clips that would pause, stop, restart, etc when the main movie clip changes?
Also...in the meantime...since I currently do not have a fix at this time and since all my animations are on the main timeline, is there a way to select multiple tweened objects (movie clips and graphic on difference layers) and move or resize them across multiple keyframes?
I have a class that extends MovieClip like this:
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class MyMovieClip extends MovieClip{
[Code]...
I use an italian version of flash so I don't know the exact english description but I can translate it as "access to an undefined property extra_property by static type reference flash.display: DisplayObject". I think it's because getChildAt() returns a DisplayObject, not a MyMovieClip.
I've seen plenty of articles on AS3 for doing this, but is there _any_ way of doing this in AS2? I've need to loop through every child mc within several other mc's and change their colour... but cannot find any way of doing it (or anything confirming it can't be done!).
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to prevent a movie clip from increasing width and height when its children go outside its initial bounds? The problem I'm having is that I'm adding moving objects to a movie clip which often go outside its bounds, and I'm also trying to apply a displacement map filter. However, since the bounds are constantly changing, choosing the correct mapPoint is giving me grief.
View 8 RepliesWhat is the code I use to find out how many movie clips are inside a movie clip and then remove them?

clips.RemoveEmAll;
Just wondered if I remove a parent movieclip and then set it to null, will it remove all the child movieclips within it from the Display list and also from memory, or do I need to iterate through the parent movieclip removing all its children before removing the parent?

i am trying to remove this movie clip when i want to play another one, i can navigate to the other movie clips but the sound that is embedded in my .swf files will not turn off off, since i have sound in several .swf files when i play more than 1 .swf movie the sound from the files will overlap each other, i have tried removeChild to no avail/This is the code i am using inside my loader timeline:
var myLoader2:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader2);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/longsfinal.swf");
myLoader2.load(url);
I have been having some trouble with a movie clip basically designed to act as a button for a store front for a website.This movie clip has, stored as the front of the movie (i.e. before you click in to edit the movie) the following code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Over");
}[code]..........
This gives the movie the hover over and out effect and animates the button so as once pressed the button expands to give a 'Product Details' view.However, when clicked the info shows up as it should but the hit area which I put into the Movie Clip is still on the info area so none of the contents on this new window are accessible and when the cursor leaves the designated info area the movie clip returns to its first stage as it would appear at the start of the animation.Is there any simple way to disable the HitArea on specific frames within a Movie Clip?
How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when people go to a new section of my website.
basically i have a container which I am loading in swfs, when you click on a specific button I want the loaded swf to jump to a specific frame.
I am using actionscript 2 at the moment this is the code on my buttons...
on (release) {
container.loadMovie("lindy_black_swatch.swf");
}
I am trying to attach a movie clip at a specific location on the stage using the following code:attachMovie("plane_mc", "mc", 1, {x:50} );The statement above does attach my MC called plane_mc onto the stage but it won't attach it at the location where I want it to. The x parameter doesn't seem to have any effect whatsovever on the stage location.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a Flash navigation system.
Currently, when you click on "Recent Projects", you are brought to a frame containing the following actionscript:
attachMovie("recentProjectsBody_mc", "recentProjectsBody_mc", 1);
recentProjectsBody_mc._x = 60;
recentProjectsBody_mc._y = 195;
This loads a new movie clip of a simple slideshow which has 7 frames. You can click through these frames with left and right buttons.
I no longer need the left and right buttons. I need a group of 7 buttons sitting under the "Recent Projects" link which each link to a different frame of the recentProjectsBody_mc movie clip.
I assume I need to load this movie clip before I link to a frame within it. But then how do I link to a specific frame within that movie clip?
in shared object Delete specific Items i her store MovieClip int shared object then show Movie Clips in the posistion x and y wit text field which hold the string value the problem is i cant delete specific movie clip from shared object this code

i=1;
///////////////// if condition to out if the value of shared object undefiend ///////////////

i have a menu with 8 buttons and every movie clip of them have the following script on it
[Code]....
what i need is when i press the movie clip it goes to specific scene label. i tried this code
on (release) {_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("b")
}
but it doesnt work with movie clip but works with buttons only , so is there any equivalent code to use with the main code above of movie clip.
if there's a way where you call out specific frame after attaching a movie clip.
