ActionScript 3.0 :: Use AddChild To Place A Movie Clip?
Dec 29, 2009
I'm trying to figure out how to use addChild to place a movie clip. I've got it working, but I can't get it to load in the bottom level of the movie. No matter what I do, it seems to load on top of everything else. I'm definately a newbie with AS3, and had only a little experience with AS2, but the load / unload movie seemed so much easier than this. I've found tutorials on addChild, but none of them specify how to load into a specific layer/level.

At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?

I've only ever used tweening to move an object on the stage which always looks choppy. Say I have a movie clip that is just off the stage and I want to bring it to the center of the stage nice and smoothly starting slowly, getting faster and the slowing down,what actionscript would I have to use. In fact to make it easier, here's a FLA which uses traditional tweening to move the object, what must I do with it to get rid of the tweening and replace it with a nice smooth actionscript?

I have my stage. On the left side, I imported an image to the stage and converted it to a movie clip. I then added code so that it can be dragged and dropped. On the right hand side, I created an area for it to be dropped into. This is just a rectangle which has been converted to a movie clip. When the image is dropped, it resizes to the size of the movie clip rectangle. Is there anyway to make it snap into place inside the movie clip?

I use the method addChild() to add a Movie Clip intoa nother one.mc1.addChild(mc2);But once the Movie Clip is added (and the second Movie Clip is higher than the first one) then it's displayed outside the first Movie Clip. Is there a way to prevent to display outside the parent?

when I use:
var a = parent.addChild(cloud);
a.x=10;
a = parent.addChild(cloud);
a.x=100;
I only get one cloud made at the position (100,y) (or, the last cloud I declare is the only one to show). How do I add multiples of a movie clip ?EDIT: I tried using addChild(new cloud) but the compiler says "Call to a possibly undefined method cloud."

allow the user to clip a button and then place a sybmol (either movie clip or graphic) where the user clicks. I would like to use AS2. The project is simply to label a supply and demand curve graph and user needs to plot, or place points wherever they want on the canvas.

I got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I can´t attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
[Code]...
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons. What can I do? I could point out that I'm not working with any frames here.

I have a movieclip in the library called flare that consists (for now) of nothing but a drawing of a pentagon. Its associated class is called Flare. The movieclip instantiates just fine, but I don't see the pentagon. When the clip is instantiated, it traces its x and its width. They are both 0. But the width should be 100.Boiled down to the extreme basics, I was getting the same result. What am I forgetting here???Document class
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
