ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To 'duplicate' / 'clone' A Complex Movieclip?
Jan 13, 2010
In our app, we create complex nested movieclip with code. Essentially, we use lots of loadbytes and addchild to create these complex movieclips. Sometimes, we need to duplicate one of these complex movieclip hundreds of times to create hundreds of instances of it.Currently, we perform the "duplication" by re-creating the complex movieclips from scratch with loadbytes and such. However, this is proving to be very slow.What would be a quicker way to "duplicate" or "clone" a complex movieclip?Is there a way to serialize a complex mc into a bytearray and the resurrect it as a new object with a single loadbytes?

I want to load some .swf files using the Loader class. I'm all set with that and got the image on screen but I wish to have multiple instances of it. Do I have to reload one for each that I intent on using?
For example say I'm attempting to load a power up's graphic from an .swf (i'll call it ex.swf). I load it and then put the image I loaded into the power up. But then I also want to have another power up of the same type somewhere else, and I want to use that same graphic. Neither adding the loaded ex.swf's contents or simply assigning the contents to a child of the power up will work obviously. So do I have to load a new copy every single time i want a new one, or can I just clone/duplicate the contents?
I mean I know it must be common for games to have 100's of copies of the same graphic being used by different things, yet If I try to preload the amount I'd need it's not exactly flexibly and if I load them as I need them it seems bad practice..

have a imageHolder_mc wich is calling the image from the local drive / server, and this container is inside of PictureHold_mc and that inside of Image01_btn.image01_btn.pictureHold_mc.imageHold01_mcand all this for 1 image tobe displayed in the website. But I am going to have something like 300. This is for example HomePage to ProductPage to SpecificIndividualProduct.I have created an instance but DO I NEED TO DUPLICATE ALL _btn and _mc all the way down? Or is there any better ways.And next question. I have done Home Page with 18 images called from the local drive but despite of Preloader showing 100% loaded page look empty for about 30 sec. and suddenly all images starts popping out ramdomly.

My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

How do I make a clone of a Sprite or MovieClip at runtime? So that if I make changes to the copy, the original remains unchanged.
And you can turn any Sprite or MovieClick in a class? So that I can create instances of this class (using new) and thus create copies of the display objects.

I was looking at a video tutorial, and in order to reference a MovieClip, the instructor used:
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
What is the difference between using that, and just using:
var mc:MovieClip = e.currentTarget;
Also, is there any way to easily duplicate a MovieClip? (or any class for that matter) There was a function somewhere back there, but that created a dynamic class. I want an exact replica of the class and all it's properties without manually changing over each and every value.

In my movieclips, I already have functions such as the following:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
currentlocx = this._x;
currentlocy = this._y;
differencex = newX - currentlocx;
differencey = newY- currentlocy;
[Code] .....
How would I add other functions such as duplicateMovieClip(my_mc, "new_mc", 5); to the code. Where would I add them? I've tried adding them under (enterFrame) but my movieclip does not duplicate after every "x" seconds. In addition to this, I would like my movieclip to "disappear" whenever it is clicked.

Ok, I know layers dont exist once compiled and that duplicated movieclips cannot be duplicated to new levels but I need some kind of work around here.
I cannot use the library as the movieclip I am duplicating is dynamically generated by actionscript (a graph based on user input over time) and thus cannot be made by me beforehand as it varies.
I need to somehow make a duplicate of this on a layer above the where the original was made, anyone know how this is possible?

In my scene I've got a movieclip. If I press left the same movieclip should be duplicated a distance left of the first movieclip. If I press right, one should appear to the right of the first movieclip. If I press left again another duplication of the movieclip should show up on the left of the copied one on the left...

Ive seen this for loop to duplicate a movieclip.Its somethin.g i like to understand its square brackets. when are square brackets used instead of the circular brackets.
for(i=1; i<5;i++){
_root["face"].duplicateMovieClip("face"+i,i++,face)
}
and i woud also like to know. i understand the first part. i = zero if i less than 5 add one.until 5 is made. which is reffering to the maintimeline.
1. is this refering main movie clip to be duplicated? ["face"]
2.In the final round brackets ("face"+i,i++,face) not sure n some of the meaning.

I have a movie clip, that has various codes attached to it to snap to areas of the screen. If I apply the duplicate movie clip command to this, the second instance will have a new name right? so how can I change the code that addressed the original movie clip to relate to the new instance with the new name?

I'm using this code to duplicate a movieclip:
Code:
for (i=0;i<10;i++) {
_root.lane.duplicateMovieClip("lane"+i, i);
i++
}
Now, I want each duplicate to have their _x position 30 pixels away from each other.
Basically, they would all be in a row, I'm sure it's simple so how can I put them all in a row?

Ok having some issues with this:I create a new movieclip:this.createEmptyMovieClip("setClip1", this.getNextHighestDepth());and then I attach a bunch of the same movieclip from the library to my new clip:in a for loopthis.setClip1.attachMovie("dashLine","dashLine"+i, this.setClip1.getNextHighestDepth());This is all working fine. BUT, I try to duplicate this movieclip:_root.setClip1.duplicateMovieClip("setLeft1",thisgetNextHighestDepth());And it seems to work - I can trace the _x/_y values and such so it sees my new clip but nothing shows up. It's just blank.So my question I guess to start is this:When you useduplicateMovieClip, does it bring with it all of the attached movieclips as well or does it not include the attached clips as well?
