ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning Correct Name From A Code Created Movie Clip

Jan 24, 2011

I am an AS3 n00b with hopefuly a simple question I am designing a simple game in flash. This code creates an array of movie clips and asigns a picture to each one. It is a map screen. What I need is when I click on one of the created movie clips, I need it to return either the index of the clip in the array or the name of the clip. Basicaly anything I can use to tell them apart in the code. Here is the code:

[Code]...

Now all this works fine, it creates the map and assigns the correct picture and places them in the correct X,Y position and it is the correct grid of 27x27 squares. The problem is with the name, when I click on the movie clip, it returns "Instance2" or "Instance5" or whatever. It starts with 2 and then increases each number by 3 for each clip, so the first one is 2, then 5 then 8 and so on. This is no good. I need it to return the name that I assigned it. If I put the code in trace(MapSquare[1]) it will return the name "MapSquare1" so I know the name was assigned, but it isnt returning.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Find The X-y Coordinates Of The Attached Movie Clip Within The Created Movie Clip?

Mar 26, 2006

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?

(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)

Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Simple Boolean Not Returning Correct Value?

Aug 31, 2009

I have started my movie with the var "nowPlaying" to be true because "mySuper_mc" will be playing at start. I have then created a Timer function that will tell the "mySuper_mc" to stop playing after given amount of time and to also set "nowPlaying" variable to false, however the setting the variable to false doesn't seem to work. I can mouse over in the begging of the movie before the timer has stopped it and will still get the trace statement that "The Movie Is Stopped"

PHP Code:

stop();
var stopTime:Timer = new Timer(500);
var nowPlaying:Boolean = true;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clip Buttons Not Directing To Correct Frames

Feb 17, 2010

It's supposed to cause each of five movie objects to correspond and go to a different named frame when they are clicked. The problem is that regardless of which one is clicked, it always goes to "animation." I tested it out by changing the name of the animation frame. The result was that it then always went to the "publication" frame. It would seem that it goes to the last valid named frame in the script.[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Resize A Dynamically Created Movie Clip?

Jan 22, 2009

So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.

Here is the code I am using for the buttons:

ActionScript Code:
stop();
videosBTN.onRelease= function() {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Name A Variable Or Created Movie Clip?

Dec 10, 2009

Is there any way to dynamically name a varaiable or created movie clip? I know that I could make an array of movie clips, but what I really want to do is make a new movie clipe name based on another name. The reason I want to do so is that I want to pass a movie clip to a function and have it make a new movie clip (to contain the first) with a slight variation of the test such as "frame" or "handle" which I can then use to center the source movie clip.

IDE :: Get A Slider Created To Pan (L And R) A Movie Clip (timeline W/ Buttons)?

Jan 5, 2010

I am trying to add action script 2.0 to a slider that i created using http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm that slides a movie clip that is a timeline from left to right. In the timeline are (i)More... buttons that will reveal more information. I just need to know how to integrate the timeline into the code using as2 to make it slide when the slider is dragged..

This is the action script that I have on the slider movie clip as stated in the above tutorial. But this is ALL the action script I have on EVERYTHING..... I know I need more to make it pan the timeline but I dont know how to do it.

[Code]...

I really could just use a good tutorial that shows me how to link the image that im sliding to the slider bar. When the slider is moved to the right... the image flows left.... toward the end of the timeline. When the slider is all the way right. The end of the timeline is shown. The timeline is bigger than the stage so the slider is on a line with years on it.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting A Movie Clip Created With XML Information

I am having trouble targeting a movie clip that was dynamically generated from information in an XML document. Basically, what I want to do is be able to manipulate the movie clip after it was generated by the initial function. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to properly target the clip even though I am pretty sure I have the proper title and location (tried both _root. and _level0.).

I've put the files I am working with online for reference:[URL]

If you load the swf [URL] ) the string at the bottom - "_level0.mc_image2" - is the name of the last movie clip (with an image inside) to the right.

Also, if you look at the code, you'll see this is a modification of the portfolio from: [URL]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Mess - Blank Movie Clip Created In The Preloader Swf

Jan 1, 2004

I have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.

So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted. how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Location - Put The Code On The Movie Clip Itself

Mar 19, 2007

Where do you put your code in flash? Do you put it all on the main timeline? Do you put in on the objects ? Where is the best place and why ? I followed a few tutorials where all of the code was on a layer in the main timeline (for arrangement). I kind of liked that but as I advanced in flash I started having problems with specifying the hole path for every movie clip (sometimes 7,8 embeded movieclips). I find it much more easier to just put the code on the movie clip itself. What is your method and why?
