Actionscript 2.0 :: Notice Destroyed Movie Clips
Jul 19, 2009
Ok, so i'm making a game using AS2 (AS3 confuses me even more than AS2) and so far it's going great, but i want it to move to the next level (or maybe a shop between levels) when all the enemies are destroyed... I have Code: Select allenemies = 15; for the amount of enemies on stage. I have Code: Select allif (explode) {this.removeMovieClip(); to get rid of the enemy and i have Code: Select allif(enemies == 0) {gotoAndPlay(3) } to take it to the next frame. I want to know how to update it so when an enemy is removed the original code of enemies = 15 gets updated, meaning when they are all gone it will go to the next frame

I need to create a "notice board" in my web page. each notice will be posted to a mysql db. I need my web page to always display the latest notice as the first notice and the rest should be below it according to the posted sequence.
1. How should I do it? (my initial thought was to pull in the data by the PRIMARY ID. But that doesn't seem to work because always when data is been posted to a mysql db it updates the next field not the previous field).[code]....

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);
[Code].....

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

What is the best route for an artist to take, when it comes to Flash? Is illustrator the best, since it doesn't use pixels, rather vectors? I had someone draw me something in photoshop, and when I resize it to make it much smaller than its original size, it looks like garbage, and you can see the pixels. Regardless if I resize it in photoshop (gimp) or flash, it looks like garbage if it is reduced in size. I have not dealt with alot of art in flash, so wondering what the best way around this is, besides having the artist draw everything to scale, since the scale is dynamic.

How would one go about masking movie clips that are nested within other movie clips?
I have a photo gallery slider type of thingy that loads jpegs with loadMovie into containers. I can mask the entire movie clip but as for the containers,...well I just dont know whats going on here.

After the dublication of an movie clip,
1. I would like to be able to delete one by one the new movie clips
2. I would like to move them all together.... First you press the word green and then click in the blue area.... A green cyrcle will appear.. Click the word green again and then in the blue square and a new green cyrcle will appear. I would like to move the cyrcles with the buttons arrownd the blue square... And when I press delete I would like to delete any cycle I choose... The flash is too large to attach it to the forum, if anyone is interested I can send it by mail.

I've noticed that using stage.addChild(obj)(i.e. creating objects on the fly) can slow down frame rates.I was told by several sources that one way to speed up a flash game engine (or any animation where instances are generated as you progress), is to reuse objects in what is known as object pooling.
First of all a bit of background:The game engine I'm working on can be found at: http:[url]....Most objects (i.e. bullets, particles, enemies...) are exported for actionscript, each with a set of actions that are performed each frame, and another set of actions upon being created.Each class has an array called instanceList, which keeps track of all objects currently within play.The main timeline contains an event.ENTER_FRAME function mainActions(event:Event):void, that loops through each of the instances and performs the actions associated wit11h each.It goes through each instance of each class by going through the static array instanceList().
Now what I plan to do is:Have a seperate static array for each class, called inactiveInstances,which keeps track of deleted objects.Introduce a function for adding the objects back to the stage (with the nesscessary variables reset), to give the impression of a new object being created.When objects are destroyed:Should they be removed from the stage and readded latter e.g. removeChild(obj2)/addChild(obj1)? e.g.
Code:
public function instance_destroy()
{
parent.removeChild(this)
//Remove all refferences and listeners[code].....

Is there method that gets called just before object destroyed? So I can override it.
Like
protected override function beforeDestuction():void
{
trace("This object is about to be destroyed!");
}

i want this clip unloaded (destroyed) when ANY other link is clicked. This clip is an empty container clip that will be generating child clips that will each be loading thumbnails for images. Obviously i need to destroy the parent clip to remove all children without looping, etc.
This movie clip ("TL") is created in a keyframe that is the stopping point of an animation. When a user clicks the Portfolio link from the menu, the menu hides itself, and then goes to a frame label where actionscript awaits. Once there, the AS tells the submenu movie to animate (play). The submenu then plays and stops when it hits a certain frame (the one with the 'stop();' code, lol), and that frame then contains actionscript that generates the Gallery Thumbnails' parent container ("TL"), via:
var TL:MovieClip = createMovieClip("TL",60);
and GT then creates movie clips for thumbnails to be contained in via:
TL.createEmptyMovieClip('Thumb' + i,TL.getDepth() -1);
All this works so far. Now, to get rid of the clip when any other button is clicked, i tell the gallery movie to play again, which alphas it out of sight. So, on the NEXT frame of the timeline AFTER the frame which the TL and children are created is where i need to place the actionscript to unload/remove them. The problem is that there is no method for this! It seems that all the methods for removing / unloading clips only apply to clips that were duplicated or instatiated from loading external files or attaching instances from the library...I need to remove this "TL" clip, and can't figure out how.
Code:
_root.mcMenuGalleryAnimation.attachMovie("thumbsList","TL",60);
TL._x = -300;
TL._y = 0;[code]....

I have a flash file that passes some variables to a php script and creates a zip file of a group of jpg files. When I had all of the code in one php file everything worked fine. Now I wanted to separate out the script into two files. One php file that gets the variables and a class that would actually do the work of creating the file. However I am getting this error when I run it.

Is it possible for Flash to 'notice' when the Right Mouse Button is clicked?
For instance:

Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

I have a problem stopping multiple clips. I have created a presentation using flash and I have many movie clips which have sub movie clips inside of them. Ok lets look at one movie clip in detail. Inside one _root movie there are multiple sub movies; each with a different movieclip labels (each movie clip is named with unique labels ie. north, south, east, west, and What I need to do is be able to STOP all these sub movie clips with one stop, and in turn PLAY these same movie clip with a second action.
The only way I know how to stop all these sub movie clips is to target each and every one individually.

I am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.
Here's the code:
Code: Select allstop();
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RO_DontDrive);
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, ROut_DontDrive);

I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).

okay, i'm trying to create a full website myself, and inside my main scene movie, i have a movie clip for the content.. inside THAT clip on a frame for the links, i have another movie clip that has all the link buttons embedded... i've got those buttons set up so they stagger fade in as an effect... my problem is, they just keep repeating, and i want the fade in effect to stop after the first time. i've got a stop keyframe after the tween of every button motion, but i dont know the correct code for the movie/button clip itself to play once and then stop.. this is what i have right now, as an action on the movie clip with the buttons inside it:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
play();
}

I have continually run into this so i guess i just don't understand some foundation to how AS3 works.
So, I have a movie clip in the library (ClipA) - it is linked to a class.
Inside Clip A there are 3 other Movie Clips (SubClip1, SubClip2, SubClip3).
When I place ClipA on the stage i want to adjust the frame that each of the SubClips are on.
BUT, when I try to set them to a frame in ClipA's class file i get an error like this:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
